Two Years Later

At some point in time, Leonardo's body which was in a state of deep meditation began to mysteriously burrow deeper and deeper into the ground, fascinatingly sinking into the thick energy veins as though he was a drop of water trickling down a bamboo pole. 

In the beginning, he was paying particular attention to the developments outside, that was until Ingrid made an appearance, allowing him to completely shut off his perception of the outside world and continually draw in the essence energy from heaven and earth, the energy veins, the lightning in the sky, and the blood of countless experts. 

Before realizing it, the ground continued to swallow his body deeper and deeper into a crystallized world of sparkling essence crystal roots that stretched like the meridians of the human body.
