After a few moments of running, Lance finally arrived at the place where the ascension ceremony of the new sect master was ending.
At that place, where a lake was located inside the great headquarters of the Gray Clouds Sect, several elders were standing around the underground area that existed there.
The surroundings looked like the interior of a large hollow sphere, with a good portion of its 'ceiling' covered by a type of glass that gave a view into the lake above this area. In the center of this spherical area was a black stone the size of a carriage.
Around this stone was a small artificial pond, where some small fish, different from the large ones in the lake, could be observed by the people in the surrounding area.
The sect master and the three strongest elders were floating on the sides of this small pond while Minos was standing above the stone.
