Standing at the other side of the gate, Alen look around him curiously, It didn't take him too long to find out that he still hasn't exited from the soul world, as it seems he have arrived to yet another large room.
His curiosity was peeked due to the majestic entrance this room have , " to have such an entrance for this place it's truly abnormal, said Alen as he looked around himself.
He was mostly likely hoping the humongous gate as the exit of the soul world, but rather he is now standing at yet another room, although this room is clearly very different from other one's he have visited previously.
But that's that now matter how much of a large room it maybe, it will still harbour some more soul projection, just like the other " alen though to himself.
Sigh, now that I have already arrived here, let's take a look of how much of important person soul resides here said Alen as he started walking.
After some moment of travel his surronding change from the previous white jade wall to shining wall, the ground itself seems to shine like a diamond with strange but beautiful light.
After a moment of time, a number of pillar came to his sight, he glance at the pillar to measure its height but what he show next make him speechless, the pillar seems to have no end they just disappear into the white mist above upon looking at them, Alen couldn't fathom the true height of the pillar as they seems to blend with the white space above them after an estimated height of seven to eight feet, so Alen was having doubt if some one could even estimate their true height.
Now all of Alen disappointment and regret seemed to vanish into thin air, rather he was quite interested about the origin of the pillar ahead him, he hurriedly approach the pillar to take closer look at them.
Just like the ground and wall the pillar also seems to glistering with colourful light, with number of strange pattern and marking craved , it was neigh impossible for Alen to discern anything about it.
He shifted his gaze and looked at the other pillar ahead him, they were spread like a path straight and opposite to each other, that lead to something at the end..
They weren't connected to each other, a clear distance of some meters can be noticed on the both sides between the pillar , Alen stop discerning the pillar and starts to tread the path as pillars lead him.
Now that he has became far more interested in the thing that lay beyond the pillars, he can't wait to see it.
After walking for intermediate amount of time, a large platform came into sight with only a person sitting on it.
The platform was five feet above the ground as well as seven to eight meter in breath, far from enough for one human being.
Alen hurriedly approach the platform and stopped at a distance of ten meter from it, he doesn't even know why did he chose to remain a distance away from the platform but for some reason his instinct told him to not go nearer to the platform.
He glance toward the person on the platform whose soul projection is clearly double or tripled the size of his own, all of a sudden the surrounding around him stated changing, the wind seems to stopped even the time itself seems to slows down a bit, the pressure around him also seemed to increase to another level due to high pressure on him he knell of the ground, while gritting his teeth hard, he tries and tries but no matter what he doesn't seems to free himself from this unbearable pressure.
The ancient path, he have achieved the ancient path" exclaimed Alen, pointing toward the person on the platform as this understanding hits him, he have already came across the power of Ancient path before as the young master, so it wasn't that hard for him to discern about the changes happening around him.
Take leo lang as example whenever he release his true aura his surrounding started to change even the time itself slowed down a bit, and these are all the indication of achieving ancient path.
But as soon as he understand that the person before him is someone who have achieved the ancient path he became confused as well horrified thinking about it.
According to Alen current knowledge he have gathered, the cultivator achieving the ancient path is the highest realm a human can attain, to even have the ability to slowed the time itself, this realms have to be one of the strongest without doubts.
But still even after attaining such a higher and strong realms one can still meet his demise, Alen was having difficulties to digest this newfound information.
For Alen a human achieving Ancient path stood at the pinnacle of humanity , as God an immortal, but even a God didn't live forever as it may also meet his demise anytime , if anyone would to tell him all these thing Alen will blatantly refuse to even listen, but he clearly have sensed the power of the Ancient path and the person soul projection on the platform is a proof that, the person on the platform is indeed died.
Alen mind was in chaotic state as he has been constantly thinking about the possible reason to how such a powerful human can die, when he was is midst of all this , a thunderous hmm sounds reverberated throughout entire chamber, nearly torn his ear drum apart.
Following the direction of the sound, he sight soon caught a view of an middle aged man in his late sixty, bloned hair, face as clear as white jade, narrow eyes and thin face, a perfect face that could make any girl fell for.
Alen was looking at the person of the platform with disbelief, the middle aged man is staring at Alen with surprised as he have never seemed someone for a very long time.
On the other hand Alen was too shocked by the current situation, the person before me is a freaking soul projection, how could he open his eyes and to make its worse even speak, these thing, are only possible for me isn't it ?
Thought Alen to himself from the day he arrive at the soul land he hadn't meet anyone how have luxury to speak see or move like him, clearly he also understands the reason behind it, which was being a mutant, Because he belong to different origin from human it was his guess that these condition (*to sit in deep meditative state for endless time) doesn't apply to him.
But know looking at the man in front of him, he can clearly say how wrong he was, the middle agen man before him is definitely human, no doubt about it and a stronger one at that, but unlike other soul projection he can see around him and even speak, which was quite unbelievable for alen in his current state.
Wait a minute, if the restriction here are not most likely for only for human being, instead of that It applied to all living creatures, without any exception, how am I able to move speak and see freely in the soul world.
Alen thought to himself , as now his previous estimation have been failed about his special condition, he have to find the truth about his special condition.
Alen mind is running with high speed as he is constantly thinking about all the strange things happening around him as well as there countermeasure.
Suddenly the loud and thunderous voice once again reverberated in the chamber
Who are you? Asked the middle aged on the platform , Although he simply asked a question about Alen origin, but because of the unknown amount of energy in the question of middle aged man, it nearly gave him an heart attack.
Alen didn't answer the middle aged man, due to fear for some reason he want to avoid laying in front of the middle aged man but he also can't tell him his origin as an mutant.
Human and mutants have always hated each other to a degree that they can also declare war just for some minor reason, which already enough for the middle aged man to kill Alen after knowing his identity.
After some moments of time , the thunderous voice once gain sounded through the chamber but with high pressure and killing intent.
Alen have been kneeling on the ground from the moment he looked at the young man although he was knelling he wasn't facing any sort of pressure or something, but for some mysterious reason he couldn't also stand up on his legs.
But this time when the person on the platform asked him the same question for the second time, everything seems to be changing around him, Suddenly a huge amount of pressure and weight equivalent to an mountain descend upon him, and his surrounding also seems to getting colder.
In an instant, he was like a cub facing group of lions , he choked upon his breath, and coughed frantically due to the mighty pressure he is bearing, his breathing is also becoming heavier and heavier by the passing seconds.
His body tremble like an infant who have suddenly been exposed to extreme cold surrounding that could make any living being ,freeze his old body and blood the instant they came across it.
Alen's pant frantically, his whole body seems to become a chaotic mass, he struggled with all his might and finally able to lift up his head, looking toward the person on the platform with his pleading eyes, like he was trying to say to stop this torture or he might really die.
