The Growth of a Titan-Chapter 110- The Home Of Deities

"Sol, relax, this is part of the process to enter the Hundred Plants and Herbs Dimension."

With Yoon-Jae’s words, Sol calmed down a bit and he began looking around.

He saw that all of the disciples were floating toward the ripples in the sky.

Soon he reached so high up that he was able to see the surroundings clearly.

They had in fact been on a massive mountain.

But this mountain had its peak completely severed!

Similarly, there were three more peaks around it that form a circle with the entrance of the Hundred Plants and Herbs Dimension in the middle.

The white pillar of lights Sol saw before were being released from these mountain peaks.

Using his Heavenly Eyes, Sol saw Elders sitting inside these bright white pillars.

"Are you ready?"

Yoon-Jae who seem relaxed as he floated next to him suddenly asked.

Sol awkwardly shifted his body to face the ripples as he said

"I can’t wait."

Sol’s heart was picking up speed the closer he got to the ripples. He saw that the disciples in front of him would disappear as soon as the ripples touch their bodies.

As he got closer to the ripples, Sol instinctively closed his eyes and held Little Zeel tighter in his arms.

When the ripples touched his body, he disappeared along with Yoon-Jae and the rest of the alchemy disciples.

Sol felt the familiar feeling of being teleported, and quickly he felt his feet touch solid ground. When he opened his eyes, and he was greeted with a colorful sight.

They were in a forest with huge trees everywhere. But most eye-catching were the colorful plants and herbs in the surroundings, though these weren’t medicinal plants but ordinary ones.

However, they undoubtedly look pleasing to the eye.

Sol looked up at the sky through the canopy of trees and saw a sun as well as a normal clear blue sky.

"Are we really in a separate world?"

"We are."

Yoon-Jae said as he walked off to gather all the alchemy disciples that were separated.

Sol suddenly sucked in a deep breath of air.

The amount of Aether Energy in here and its purity was intoxicating to his senses.

"Sol, come on."

Yoon-Jae’s voice snapped Sol out of his dazed state. He placed a sleeping Little Zeel on his head before he followed Yoon-Jae.

As he did, Sol realize that it was just the alchemy disciples around him. He couldn’t count exactly how many of them were here, but they were at the very least in the hundreds.

"Are we already in our Alchemy Pavilion’s territory?"

"Hm, the entrance we came through sent each Pavilion to a random location in their own territories in the Inner Region. Only the Academy is able to open this direct entrance."

"Oh, so what do we do now? Do we just search and collect medicinal herbs?"

"That’s the ultimate goal, but we first have to check on our garden."

"We have a garden?"

"Brother Sol, we plant some of the medicinal herbs we collect in a safe zone and each year our Pavilion members who enter the Hundred Plants and Herbs Dimension tend to them."

An alchemy disciple cut in to explain this to Sol.

"Does the other Pavilions do something similar to this?"

That disciple scowled and said.

"How could they when they’re too busy fighting each other for medicinal plants? Unlike them, we work together to collect medicinal plants and share them. Of course, if disciples want to go out alone to gather medicinal herbs they could, and they would completely own what they collect. However, it’s not advised that an alchemy disciple go out alone."

"Is there danger inside the Dimension?"

Sol said taken aback.

Yoon-Jae was the one to respond.

"The academy might own this Dimension now but previously it was owned by someone else, even until now they haven’t fully explored it. They cleared out a few safe zones for us, but outside of these safe zones, there are terrifying Spirit Beasts and even man-eating plants. And worse of all some of them are in the Spiritual Realm."

Sol’s eyes widen slightly when he heard that, but Yoon-Jae added.

"Don’t worry about them though. They have their own territories deeper inside the Dimension that they won’t ever leave, so as long as we don’t venture deeper to look for death, we’ll be safe."

Sol relaxed upon hearing that. One should know that among the Pavilions the Alchemy Pavilion is the weakest in terms of combat.

Their Innate Dharmas were mostly Elemental Innate Dharmas relating to Wood or Fire Aether in the form of plants. Maybe a few had Weapon Innate Dharmas but that was rare. So, it wasn’t like they could use their plant Innate Dharmas to fight. They had to work in numbers when they could collect medicinal plants.

Soon the group came upon the edge of the forest and Sol saw in the distance a Palace that was in ruins.

Sol was shocked.

He might as well be in this state perpetually while in this Dimension.

"Brother Yoon-Jae what is that? How come there is a ruin Palace in here?"

"It’s like I said, this Dimension use to belong to someone else, they were the ones who built these Palaces."

Looking at the ruined Palace that was a shell of its former glory, with parts of it in rubble on the ground, Sol could tell that this Palace was once filled with prestige and honor. It meant something to someone, but now it was just ruins to them.

Sol also noted as he walked closer that despite it being destroyed, this Palace was still huge. He couldn’t imagine how big it was in its prime.

"Brother Yoon-Jae, just what kind of person owned this Dimension and built these Palaces?"

"Well, the common belief is that this Dimension and the others like it were the homes of Deities."

"Deities? Like the ones from ancient times?"

Yoon-Jae nodded.

He then went on to explain a few more things to Sol as they walked to the Palace. Yoon-Jae also mentioned the separate Dimensions in the Eternal Desert and the Land of Shadows.

Sol felt all of this was exciting, perhaps coming to the Academy was the right choice. He wouldn’t have had access to information or places like this.

After a while, Sol and the others reached the ruined Palace.

Sol looked at the broken pillars at the entrance and the colorful vines that had grown over the building itself. He couldn’t help but feel it was a pity that it deteriorated to a state like this.

"The garden is inside; you can come and look, or you can start collecting medicinal plants if you want."

Yoon-Jae said, and Sol decided to enter to look around.

The Dimension was opened for a month, he had time to explore this strange place for a while. Plus, he wouldn’t mind cultivating a bit in here. He should be able to open a few acupoints with this abundance of pure Aether Energy.

However, as Sol excitedly went to enter the Palace, he suddenly froze and he retrieve the foot he was about to take a step forward with.

’What’s going on?’

Sol’s Innate Dharma started trembling all of a sudden.

Sol looked down at the ground, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart.

’No way, is that even possible?!’

Sol immediately bent down and began digging the ground in a specific spot.

His actions drew Yoon-Jae and the other disciples’ attention.

"Sol, what are you doing?"

Sol didn’t answer Yoon-Jae and just kept digging.

Soon a few more disciples gather around until a few hundred of them were there watching Sol dig.

After a few minutes, Sol had dug several dozen feet into the ground.

Yoon-Jae stood by the side as dirt was flung out of the hole by Sol. He thought either Sol had found something, or he had just gone mad and started digging random holes.

But soon enough, his former theory was proven right.

"I found it!" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Sol yelled as he leaps out of the massive ditch he just dug with his bare hands.

When he came out, everyone looked at what he was holding in his hand, and they become slack-jawed with incredulity spreading across their faces.

Even Yoon-Jae was staring at Sol’s hand with a speechless expression on his face.

As for what was in Sol’s hand, it was a shriveled-up medicinal plant that looked like an ordinary weed that had been dug out of the ground.

However, who were these people? They were disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion!

They could recognize a medicinal plant just by looking at it.

But the medicinal plant in Sol’s hand, from the way its mud-stained leaves gleamed in the sunlight, and how the slightly exposed dry roots had an odd purple color liquid flowing from it. This wasn’t just any medicinal plant, but from those small but eye-catching characteristics they had only ever seen in illustrations, this was... this was a Tier 9 medicinal plant!

All the disciples in the surroundings immediately began panting like dogs in heat, and they looked at Sol holding this precious treasure with crazed eyes.

It seemed like they wanted to pounce on Sol and snatch the Tier 9 medicinal plant before eating it whole, but slight reasoning still remained in the back of their minds that prevented them from rushing forward and receiving a beating.
