The Growth of a Titan in the Cultivation World-Chapter 113 - 110- The Home of Deities

"Sol, relax, this is part of the process to enter the Hundred Plants and Herbs Dimension."

With Yoon-Jae’s reassurance, Sol calmed down a bit and he began looking around.

He saw that all of the disciples were floating toward the ripples in the sky.

Soon he reached so high that he was able to see the surroundings clearly.

They had in fact been on a massive mountain. But this mountain had its peak completely severed!

Similarly, there were three more peaks around it that formed a circle with the entrance of the Hundred Plants and Herbs Dimension in the middle.

The white pillar of lights Sol saw before were released from these mountain peaks.

Using his Heavenly Eyes, Sol saw Elders sitting inside these bright white pillars.

"Are you ready?"

Yoon-Jae, who looked quite relaxed as he floated next to him, suddenly asked.

Sol awkwardly shifted his body to face the ripples as he said

"I can’t wait."

Sol’s heart was picking up speed the closer he got to the ripples. He saw that the disciples in front of him would disappear as soon as the ripples touch their bodies.

As he got closer, Sol instinctively closed his eyes and held Little Zeel tighter in his arms. free𝑤ebnovel.com

When the ripples touched his body, he disappeared along with Yoon-Jae and the rest of the Alchemy Disciples.

Sol felt the familiar feeling of being teleported, but he quickly felt his feet touch solid ground. He then opened his eyes and was greeted with a colorful sight.

They had appeared in a forest that had huge trees which were no way inferior to the trees Sol saw in the Ibbian Forest. But what was most eye-catching of all were the colorful flowers in the surroundings. They were bright and dazingly, and if Sol guessed correctly, the faint fragrance he smelt in the surroundings came from these flowers.

But he also noticed that despite their colorful appearance and the fragrant smell they were emitting, they weren’t medicinal plants but ordinary flowers.

However, they nonetheless look pleasant to look. Sol now understood why the dimension was called Hundred Flowers and Herbs. It not only contained medicinal plants and herbs, but also these beautiful flowers.

After admiring the flowers int the surroundings, Sol looked up at the sky through the canopy of trees to see that a sun hung in a normal clear blue sky.

"Are we really in a separate world?"

"We are."

Yoon-Jae said with a nod as he walked off to gather all the Alchemy Disciples that were transported in the nearby forest.

Sol suddenly sucked in a deep breath of air. The amount of Aether Energy in here and its purity was intoxicating to his senses.

"Sol, come on."

Yoon-Jae’s voice snapped Sol out of his dazed state. He placed a sleeping Little Zeel on top of his head before he followed Yoon-Jae.

As he did, Sol realized that it was just the Alchemy Disciples around him. He couldn’t count exactly how many of them were here, but they were at the very least in the hundreds.

"Are we already in our Alchemy Pavilion’s territory?"

"Hm, the entrance we came through sent each Pavilion to a random location in their own territories in the Inner Region. Only the Academy is able to open this direct entrance."

"Oh, then what do we do now? Do we just search around and collect medicinal plants?"

"That’s the ultimate goal, but we first have to check on our garden."

"Oh, we have a garden?"

"Brother Sol, we plant some of the medicinal herbs we collect in a safe zone and each year our Pavilion members who enter the Hundred Plants and Herbs Dimension tend to them."

An Alchemy Disciple nearby cut in to explain this to Sol.

"Does the other Pavilions do something similar to this?"

That disciple scowled and said.

"How could they when they’re too busy fighting each other for medicinal plants? Unlike them, we work together to collect and share medicinal plants. Of course, if disciples want to go out alone to gather them, they could. They would also completely own what they collect. However, it’s not advised that an Alchemy Disciple go out alone."

"Why? Is there danger inside the Dimension?"

Sol asked a bit taken aback.

Yoon-Jae was the one to respond.

"The Academy might own this Dimension now, but previously it was owned by someone else, even until now they haven’t fully explored it. They cleared out a few safe zones for us, but outside of these safe zones, there are terrifying Spirit Beasts and even man-eating plants. Worst of all some of them are in the Spiritual Realm."

Sol’s eyes widen slightly when he heard that, but Yoon-Jae added.

"Don’t worry about them though. They have their own territories deeper inside the Dimension that they won’t ever leave, so as long as we don’t venture deeper inside to look for death, we’ll be safe."

Sol relaxed upon hearing that. One should know that among the Pavilions, the Alchemy Pavilion is the weakest in terms of combat.

Their Innate Dharmas were mostly Elemental Innate Dharmas relating to Wood or Fire Aether Energy in the form of plants. Maybe a few had Weapon Innate Dharmas but that was rare. So, it wasn’t like they could use their plant Innate Dharmas to fight. They had to work in numbers when collecting medicinal plants.

Soon the group came upon the edge of the forest and Sol saw in the distance a palace that was in ruins.

Sol was shocked. But he might as well be in this state perpetually while in this Dimension.

"Brother Yoon-Jae what is that? How come there is a ruined palace here?"

"It’s like I said, this Dimension used to belong to someone else, they were the ones who built these palaces."

Staring at the ruined palace that was a shell of its former glory, with parts of it in rubble on the ground, Sol could tell that this palace was once filled with prestige and honor. It had meant something to someone, but now, it was just a bunch of ruins to them.

Sol also noted as he walked closer that despite it being destroyed, this palace was still huge. He couldn’t imagine how big it was in its prime.

"Brother Yoon-Jae, just what kind of person owned this Dimension and built these palaces?"

"Well, the common belief is that this Dimension and the others like it were the homes of Deities."

"Deities? Like the ones that were said to exist in ancient times?"

Yoon-Jae nodded.

He then went on to explain a few more things to Sol as they walked to the palace. Yoon-Jae also mentioned the separate Dimensions in the Eternal Desert and the Land of Shadows.

Sol felt all of this was exciting, perhaps coming to the Academy was the right choice. He wouldn’t have had access to information or places like this.

After a while, Sol and the others reached the ruined palace. He looked at the broken pillars at the entrance and the colorful vines that had grown over the building itself. He couldn’t help but feel it was a pity that it deteriorated to a state like this.

"The garden is inside; you can come and look, or you can start collecting medicinal plants if you want."

Yoon-Jae said, and Sol decided to enter to look around.

The Dimension was open for a month; he had time to explore this strange place for a while. Plus, he wouldn’t mind cultivating a for a bit here. He should be able to open a few acupoints with this abundance of pure Aether Energy.

However, as Sol excitedly went to enter the Palace, he suddenly froze, before retrieving the foot he lifted

’What’s going on?’

Sol’s Innate Dharma had started trembling all of a sudden. He looked down at the ground, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart.

’No way, is that even possible?!’

Sol immediately bent down and began digging the ground in a specific spot.

His actions drew Yoon-Jae and the other disciples’ attention.

"Sol, what the hell are you doing?"

Sol didn’t answer Yoon-Jae and just kept on digging.

Soon more disciples gather around until a few hundred of them were there watching Sol dig.

After a few minutes, Sol had dug several dozen feet into the ground.

Yoon-Jae stood by the side as dirt was flung out of the hole by Sol. He thought either Sol had found something, or he had just gone mad and started digging random holes for no reason.

But soon enough, his former theory was proven right.

"I found it!"

Sol yelled as he leaped out of the massive ditch he just dug with his bare hands.

When he came out, everyone looked at what he was holding in his hand, and they became slack-jawed with incredulity spreading across their faces.

Even Yoon-Jae was staring at Sol’s hand with a speechless expression on his face.

As for what was in Sol’s hand, it was a shriveled-up medicinal plant that looked like an ordinary weed that had been dug out of the ground.

However, who were these people? They were disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion!

They could recognize a medicinal plant just by looking at it.

However, the medicinal plant in Sol’s hand, from the way its mud-stained leaves gleamed in the sunlight, and how the slightly exposed dry roots had an odd purple color liquid flowing from it. This wasn’t just any medicinal plant, but from those small but eye-catching characteristics they had only ever seen in illustrations, that ordinary-looking weed was... was... a Tier 9 medicinal plant!

All the disciples in the surroundings immediately began panting like dogs in heat, and they looked at this precious treasure in Sol’s hand with crazed eyes.

It seemed like they wanted to pounce forward and snatch the Tier 9 medicinal plant before eating it whole, but a bit reason still remained in the back of their minds that prevented them from rushing forward and receiving a beating.
