Seeing the series of changes in expressions that came over the young lady’s face, the man could not help but smile. He then stood up and then said with a faint smile: “After you have absorbed all the power from the water in this pool, that will be the time that you shall really be of good use.”
Immediately after saying that, he did not even wait for Qing Yu to open her mouth but just disappeared from his spot.
“Hey! Don’t leave yet! I have not finished! !”
Qing Yu glared at that empty spot that the man had suddenly disappeared from, unable to help herself but feel anger and frustration well up. She had not heard a single whisper from anyone for the better half of a day and after finally being able to see someone, he actually just went ahead to leave like that before she was able to ask him anything?
Qing Yu clenched her jaws tight as her arms at the sides of her body that were free from any bonds smacked the water furiously in frustration. The water splashed up to a great height and then fell back down to drench her entire head.
“…..” Her hair dripping wet, the young lady’s face was at a complete loss and it looked as if she was going to burst into tears from her own stupidity on this one rare occasion.
“Argh~ What a jerk! !”
Was she going to be imprisoned here forever? !

It was not known when the snow stopped and the sky was slowly beginning to brighten.
The strange thing was, after the snow stopped, the snow that had piled up almost to knee’s height was actually disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was all gone in just a short while.
Making everyone unable to help but to think that the snow the fell for the entire night had merely just been an illusion.
“Everyone look! What is that? !”
Following someone’s loud exclamation of surprise, everyone looked in the direction that person was pointing into, to gaze into the still slightly dim sky that hadn’t fully turned to light, where it looked like the faint shape of something was seemingly slowly being revealed.
It was indistinct and hazy but the faint outline of some highly majestic and toweringly grand architecture could just be made out, surrounded by layer upon layer of fluffy clouds, where only a part of the building could be seen, but it was already an astounding sight.
“Is that….. the Mind Free Peak?” Someone said in a trembling voice, like he was finding it hard to hide the excitement in his heart.
“It showed up! It’s finally showing up!”
“A thousand year wait, and to be able to see this scene once again, one can really die without any regrets.”
That was an old and highly wizened voice, and it could be seen it came from the figure of a short old man who was thin as sticks, his dry and wrinkled eyes brimming with hot tears as he gazed fixedly at the mysterious building that was gradually becoming revealed, his eyes unwavering, like he was afraid if he even blinked, the thing would suddenly disappear from his sight.
