Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1879

The land before them seemed to grow smaller as strong winds enveloped the airship. Nontwo City soon became a little black speck before ultimately vanishing view. Ferland steered the airship and said to them with a smile, "Don't worry! This airship is equipped with a protective shield to isolate us from the outside. You don't have to worry about falling."

Everyone smiled knowingly at Ferland's remark. Of the fourteen individuals heading to the sacred lake from Nontwo City, Kiyu's daughter Illy was the only unfamiliar face there. In no time, the atmosphere became rather lively.

As Ferland was navigating the airship, Severin decided to ask several questions about the sacred lake. He did not want to arrive there without knowing what to expect. He gestured respectfully toward Ferland and asked, "Sir, may I ask if you know how many people will be entering the lake at this time?"

Ferland placed his left hand on his back while stroking his beard with his right hand. "Not many. Tens of thousands from Southsky, I believe."

Wuhlricht and the others were rather taken aback when they heard that. "Tens of thousands?!"

They wondered just what sort of place it would be if so many level nine royal saints were allowed to enter all at once and make breakthroughs. Severin calmed himself down and directed his attention back to Ferland. "Could you enlighten us on what makes this sacred lake unique?"

Ferland confirmed. "Yes."

He then opened his palm and curled his fingers slightly as if to hold a ball. Fine threads of an invisible force soon appeared in his palm, emitting a hazy light and exuding a tremendously formidable aura.

Even a level nine royal saint like Severin felt an eerie sensation when facing that force. Goosebumps appeared all over his body. Ferland then explained, "This is the power of heaven and earth. It is the strongest force in existence, surpassing even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
