"Master, is that..."
"Seems like it." Kylo calmly replied to Elena's stunned voice.
Even the normally calm Elena couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
Because the figure on the seat in the altar was none other than Kylo.
To be exact it was Kylo's body. It was as if a king looking down on the world.
This shouldn't normally surprise anyone. Because even if one's body is lost, it's not difficult to remake someone's body as long as they have the right ingredients.
Alchemists can easily remake a body of a cultivator.
But they were all surprised because how could there be Kylo's body in an unknown place?
That meant someone predicted Kylo will eventually come here.
[Or rather, I was guided to come here.] Kylo's eyes were slightly cold.
Even though he already guesses this before, only he knew it. No one else other than him knew about this.
[There maybe more people aside from a Seer as well.] Kylo thought grimly.
But this was not the only point. Kylo, Elena and Lena thought of another point.
How could Kylo occupy a body? After all he was a Weapon spirit.
And it is a known fact a Weapon Spirit cannot exist in a physical body. This is a rule set by 'Heavens' and anybody going against it would be considered a rebel.
If not for this rule there might be many such old Weapon Spirits who can easily steal body of someone who is a lot weaker than them.
Spirit weapons are born only when they have reached a sufficient stage and they have existed for many years.
There are few other conditions as well. As long as a weapon fulfils meets the requirements a weapon spirit would be born.
Kylo's case was therefore, as mentioned time and time again, is a rare one.
But unlike Elena and Lena, Kylo didn't worry anymore.
After all if there was a body here, Kylo was sure there must also be a method left by the owner of the Heavenly Grotto to occupy it as well.
[Well this isn't Heavenly Grotto anymore.] Kylo thought secretly.
He wasn't sure enough about his doubt that was why he also didn't say anybody his guesses.
After calming down, Kylo turned around and said seriously
"Let's proceed."
Everyone nodded followed Kylo. The moment they took their first step, their bodies shivered.
It was because of the boundless energy surrounding their bodies. Even more than where they were standing before.
Avery could already feel she was about to breakthrough to Epsilon Stage.
Generally when people cultivate in any system, they absorb the energy from the atmosphere and refine them.
Even in case of absorbing crystals, the process is the same.
But here the energy was 100% pure. The energy would automatically circulate inside them which would in turn help them breakthrough.
Avery eyes were shining brightly as she turned towards Kylo and said
"Master how about we stay on each stairs for few weeks. By the end maybe you can even breakthrough above True Supremo."
Kylo's lips twitched hearing this. How could there be something so good?
And as if to prove Kylo's thoughts, the energy supply was stopped.
"Huh... What happened?" Avery's angry cry could be heard at this moment.
Selena would have usually retorted but she stayed silent this time. Because everyone could see that even though Kylo was calm his face was stern.
After all what would one expect when a 'dead soul' all of a sudden they see his body.
But that was not the only thing though. This energy was even useful for the triplets.
Even though they couldn't cultivate, but the more they absorbed the energy the looser their seal became for the next level.
Elena said after few minutes of her search on the stair.
"Master, this floor has a refining formation. Spirit, Mana, Elemental and Bestial crystals are being refined and trapped in this formation."
Everyone understood the reason why the energy suddenly disappeared.
It happened that they absorbed all energy available and now nothing remained on this step.
But there were still few hundred steps to reach the majestic altar.
Only Kylo could see there were 500 steps to reach the top.
[That means 500 steps of absorption?] At this speed he might have reached True Supremo.
Too bad he couldn't breakthrough now, no matter what he did.
But he wasn't worried since he was storing all the energy inside the sword. And he also had a hunch that all the problems will be solved once he reaches the top.
Kylo shook his head to forget all the worries and said
"Do not miss this chance. Circulate the energy faster than your normal time to advance as much as possible."
Everyone nodded. Even if Kylo didn't say anything they would have done the same.
And with that they proceeded.
