Chapter 58
Nano quickly helped the activation of the flow of energy within Yeowun’s body . After a long time, Yeowun opened his eyes . He then smelled the foul stench from the black ooze and took off the clothes that were drenched in the ooze .
“Ugh… this is really disgusting . ”
He was able to forget about the smell while meditating, but he couldn’t bear it anymore when he was awake . He then felt the heat within the cave . It seemed like the energy activation within his body let out some heat, warming up the entire cave . Yeowun then felt heaviness under his stomach and felt the weight of his internal energy .
“Whoa . ”
He gasped in astonishment . The whole incident was a blessing in disguise . The internal energy that was just over sixty years worth now had ninety years worth of energy . Baek Oh’s action had resulted in helping Yeowun instead of harming him .
‘…He really did give me a gift then . ’
Baek Oh’s small gift had turned out to be a huge gift . Chun Yeowun’s internal energy was now within the top five out of all the cadets .
‘I would have died if it wasn’t for Nano . ’
Nano had given unfortunate Chun Yeowun a climactic turn in his life .
‘I was really lucky this time . I never thought the Poison Clan would go so far . ’
He then thought that it was good experience for learning how his wrong decision might come back to him .
‘It was an important lesson . ’
He was lucky this time, but Yeowun decided to not make any foolish mistakes .
‘So, what is this?’
Yeowun then got up and walked to the inner part of the cave . It was too dark to see in the cave, but Yeowun had night vision from Nano .
‘Nano, night vision mode . ’
Yeowun was then able to see the inside of the cave . A part of the inner wall was broken when he was thrown into it by Baek Oh .
‘Something felt weird . ’
Yeowun felt like the inside of the wall was empty when his back hit the wall . He felt curious, but he had to focus on taking care of the poisonous medicine ball he ingested .
“Oh?”
Air was seeping out from the cracked part of the wall . It was proof that there was space on the opposite . Yeowun then became curious .
‘Let’s check on it . ’
Yeowun began to tap the cracked side with his fist . The wall had too many cracks in it and the slight tapping made it fall apart, making a small hole that Yeowun could crawl into .
‘There we go . ’
The hole let cold air come in from the opposite side, making the cave a bit cooler . Yeowun then crawled into the dark hole . He then frowned .
‘Huh?’
Unlike his expectations of seeing a bigger cave, it seemed like a tunnel-like cave that connected somewhere else . Yeowun then got up and looked back . The cave wall was shaped as if it was made artificially to block it . The opposite side looked natural so he didn’t realize it, but it was very apparent from this side .
‘Was it blocked off intentionally?’
It seemed like something was hidden inside . Yeowun then thought about going in when Nano’s voice called out to him .
[Detected faint natural light coming from the tunnel . ]
Yeowun became curious . The only possible natural light source in such a cave could only be from a firefly . Yeowun then began to walk in . The cave was located on the peak of the mountain, but this tunnel seemed to lead him below .
‘It’s getting brighter…’
As Nano said, the green-colored light began to grow stronger . He now didn’t need night vision mode to see anymore . Yeowun then deactivated the night vision and walked in . Soon, he then reached the closed end . It shined very brightly with the light . Yeowun then took a step forward and almost fell . The ground in front had a huge hole .
“What in the world…?”
Yeowun looked down, but he couldn’t see anything . He then jumped down . It was a few meters deep, which was not safe for any normal human to jump down, but Yeowun was able to land easily with his walking skill .
He then looked up to where he had come from . The entrance he went through looked more like an air vent from what he saw from below . The space he was in now was very wide .
“Whoa . ”
Countless light-emitting stones were on top, brightening the entire place with the green light . It was so bright that it was hard to even look up at it .
“To think such a place was hidden inside the prison cave . ”
It was amazing . He looked around and found a round stone pillar in the middle and nothing else . There was an exit at the southern side of the cave, and that was blocked by a stone from the outside .
‘It’s an unused place . ’
It felt strange to not use such a nice place .
“Huh?”
Yeowun then looked down and found traces of something being dragged out . From the size of it, one could tell that it seemed like a large stone was pushed out from it . As he followed the trace, it led him to the center of the area .
‘There’s more than one . ’
The trace was made by more than once . It seemed like something was placed in five directions around the pillar until it was dragged out . It must have been very heavy if it made such a deep trace .
‘It looks like there must have been some kind of giant stone… a pedestal…?’
Yeowun then thought of the blue pearl pedestal in the library . He then realized the library had five floors, which meant that the pedestal was also created through the five levels .
‘Nano, activate Augmented Reality and show me the blue pearl pedestal on the first floor in the library . ’
[Activating . ]
Yeowun then was shown the actual size of the blue pearl stone .
‘Nano, do you see those traces on the ground? Can you see if this stone was placed in any of those spots?’
[Analyzing the traces on the floor . ]
Nano then began scanning the five spots and placed the same blue pearl stone over the five spots . And when they were all in place, Yeowun’s eye grew larger .
‘It has the same size . ’
The size of the trace and the stone were the same . When the five stones were placed there, the one located on the south side shined in red .
[This location seems to be where the blue pearl stone from the first floor was located at . ]
Yeowun then walked over to check it out himself .
‘Can you check the second floor one too?’
Nano then began scanning everything, and it seemed like the second stone was located on the southwest side .
‘Ah… so, this was the place . ’
It seemed that all those stones were originally placed here . If all of them were still here, then it would have been much easier to learn about Father Chun’s original sword skill .
‘What is up with this pillar then?’
Yeowun was curious as to why all these stones were placed around it while facing the pillar . Yeowun walked over and looked around . On the north side of the pillar, there was a letter written in handwriting .
[Sword Force of the Sky Demon]
Yeowun felt his heart pounding . He then found a small dots that looked like those under the writing of the blue pearl stone which showed a drawing .
