One day later,
Ethan stood before the shimmering waters that hid the ancient entrance of the Green Lotus Enclave.
Beside him were Ancestor Skulnen and Matriarch Orsela, their presence alone enough to make the air heavy, even though neither spoke much.
Also, Elder Vorlen and Elder Meyla followed closely behind, acting as guides to fill in the thousand-year gap of history that both Skulnen and Orsela had missed during their seclusion.
Following them were Cedric Lin and the three Green Lotus cultivators Ethan had personally revived back in the Azure Serpent Realm—each of them brimming with excitement and nervous anticipation.
To enter the Green Lotus Enclave, the Green Lotus Tribe members were required, and thus Ethan called Cedric and others from the Azure Serpent Realm.
"The entrance to the Green Lotus Enclave is inside this lake."
Cedric said solemnly, though his trembling hands betrayed the reverence he felt as he pressed his palm against his chest.
That's right.
