Time passed by continously...as Fenix had long lost count of how long he had been within the True Mystic chamber. All he knew was the fact that each trial he faced not only increased his mental fortitude...but it also taught him about the generality of the martial path.
He could feel it...after countless days of being within the True Mystic chamber, not only had his mental fortitude increased. Even his willpower had increased...and he could sense it...he could feel it. All he needed was to cultivate for some time...perhaps hours or perhaps days.
And by then...he would be attaining the Middle Stage of the fourth stage.
Making use of the array exiting stone.
He appeared in sight, as the Deacon was surprised and intrigued by the aura being exuded by him.
The aura wasn't overpowering, it wasn't crushing. It just had this natural feel to it...almost as though it was a natural charisma being exuded by Fenix.
And even Fenix didn't realize this change as he immediately made way for his Heavenly Abode disciple uniform.
It suddenly occured to him as he asked.
"For how long have I been away."
"Fifteen days...you have been within the True Mystic chamber for fifteen days consecutively. I was even starting to worry if something had happened to you, but here you are, perfectly fine and okay, and perhaps even stronger."
"Thanks for the info..." Fenix replied with a light smile on his face, as he grabbed a hold of his spear.
Now it was far more easier for him to wield it...it didn't give him any stress at all. It was almost as though it had become a part of him, very tiny yet of great significance.
**********
Some minute later. After he had not only collected his uniform but had also been given his Heavenly Abode; the name which they called the dorm of the heavenly abode disciples.
Upon arriving at his Heavenly Abode, he finally understood why that was the case. It was located just behind a waterfall, mountains could be sighted from far away...green lushes of trees covered the land, some places were covered with pure sand...yet all this paled in comparison.
To the gigantic quartz building; made up of a thoroughly refined glass named Quartz. The Heavenly Abode radiated a kind of beautiful pristine glow, as though it was made up of multitude of colors...as it easily towered over three meters in height.
He approached the quartz door, his hands slowly tapped on the door. And then, a wonder he had never seen before happened before his eyes.
As he immediately moved back in shock...his eyes glancing around. Looking for the mysterious being that had suddenly opened the door, as the door revolved to the left hand side before opening completely.
And what greeted him was unlike anything he had ever seen...
Bright golden chandeliers could be seen within this room...and it even had a large rectangular like object which he couldn't seem to identify, the ground was made of pure gold.
Even if he couldn't identify the rest...he wasn't a fool. He knew fully well just what gold was and exactly him knowing about it was what gave him the shock of his life.
"What a waste of money...Am sure it must have cost a lot of Zephyxr stone, blood purifying stone and even countless true essence stones to get the resources to create such a floor..."
That continously stretched for as far as his eyes could see.
Just how much money must they have wasted. That he didn't know.
But he did know one thing...
"From now on, this was his Heavenly Abode!"
But if they is a total of sixty disciples...doesn't that mean they would also each have such a residence. Thinking about such a thing, Fenix couldnt help but be impressed.
He quickly removed that away from his mind...after all he had only seen...perhaps a quarter of the Heavenly Abode.
A wide smile spread across his face as he immediately dashed forward.
And everywhere he passed by left him in a state of shock.
He once passed by a room that was filled with various metallic humanoid like beings, except that they all stood rigid on one spot and didn't have any light within their pupils...yet he was still intrigued when he had seen them.
He approached one of them, as he bent his back, his finger slowly approaching the forehead of the metalloid being as it suddenly tapped against the forehead of the metalloid being.
And then a voice resounded within that room.
"Human detected...do you wish to go through a combat assessment."
The voice that sounded humanoid yet seemed to fail badly resounded into his ears as he immediately said a big No.
'Facing such a thing that he knew nothing about...that was the same as directly courting death. And he surely didn't have any plans of dying...at least not yet.'
And since the metalloid beings seemed so fearsome and humongous, he had no other choice than to tuck his leg behind his tail and run away...
Just joking...as he made way to check the other rooms with a curious look on his face.
It was almost the same as when a country bumpkin went outside of his or her small village and comes to perhaps let's say...A great kingdom; an heavenly one to be precise.
The shock, surprise, curiosity and even cautiousness could be easily imagined. Fenix even entered some rooms and he was quite shocked and surprised.
The rooms where just like mystic chambers. In the fact that one of the room had a very large cauldron which could easily fit someone two times taller and bigger than him.
He could feel the terrifying heat being given off by the cauldron, as he easily identified it as perhaps an artifact that tempered one's body and organs.
Or was it a room whereby the moment he entered into it. He was immediately assaulted with countless golden metallic illusionary like sword.
But the moment they hit him...he realized just how wrong he was.
As a blinding pain assaulted his body...it felt as though a mountain had been smashed against his body except for the fact that this mountain was a little bit more special...it had a kind of piercing effect...
He didn't need to be told...as he immediately did a backflip. Immediately exiting the room as he landed with a light.
BOOM!!!
Yet the Quartz floor didn't even shake nor vibrate...as he visited every single room within the Heavenly Abode.
The usual Exo-Thermic True essence generator was there, expect for the fact that the true essence was two or perhaps even three times more denser...he visited the crystalline bathroom...and every nook and cranny he could bare his sight on within the Heavenly Abode...
And upon finishing...he was lost of words.
"This heavenly disciples are really enjoying." He muttered, as he immediately headed for his bedroom just beside the living room...after one had opened the resident's door, one would easily be able to sight it before them.
He had a bright smile on his face as he sat down on the bed. As he prepared to have a minor breakthrough...
