A Cultivation Bottleneck!?

"What is this?" The curious thought echoed through Isha's mind after wandering through the Pet World for countless hours.

She had desperately lost sight of Ryuk in the endless grassland, but eventually, she found something.

Something incredibly grand.

It was none other than the two enormous, twin-sided trees before her.

One side of the tree was covered in shimmering blue lights, invoking an aura of absolute reverence in Isha's heart. Instinctively, she lowered her head before it. But the second aura...

It made her scales crawl.

Her eyes turned crimson as an intense force of death and decay enveloped her. Yet, despite the overwhelming sensation, it didn't do much harm. She eventually snapped out of it.

'This gem… an Ice Gem?' Isha mused to herself as she looked at the white-colored gem resting in the space between the twin trees. Elegant branches cradled it, and the gem shone with a bizarre, frosty light.
