The small sword emblem embroidered on the top right of Yaacob's robe elicited a surprised reaction from Severin. "Are you a disciple of the Seventh Mountain?"
Severin had been immersed in seclusion ever since his arrival at the sect, and he had been completely unaware of Yaacob's affiliation with the Seventh Mountain due to their limited interactions in the months after.
Yaacob nodded in confirmation. "Indeed, I am!"
"Fate has brought us together again then, it seems!" Severin replied.
Yaacob left a lasting impression on Severin after self-professing to be the sect's know-it-all. He claimed to know everything and anything about the sect, even each different elders' penchants.
Curious about Severin's visit, Yaacob scratched his head and asked, "Is there something you need here?"
Severin focused on his purpose for visiting the Seventh Mountain and explained, "I came to the Seventh Mountain to find the Sword Tomb. I'd like to acquire some heptagold energy."
Yaacob's expression shifted to that of astonishment. "Heptagold energy? Are you learning the Sky-Soil Heptagold Sword Energy?"
After hearing everything, Severin was taken aback. "Okay, okay. Do you know where the Sword Tomb is?"
Yaacob gestured down to the foot of the nearly ten-thousand-feet-tall mountain and said, "It's right below us."
Using the Mind's Eye technique, Severin channeled spiritual energy into his vision, causing his eyes to radiate like the blazing sun. His gaze pierced through the mist and zoned in on the bottom of the mountain. Yaacob's statement was confirmed as he saw a collection of broken swords buried like tombs, with some of the larger swords emanating a rather savage aura.
