Chapter 908
In the mysterious hall, Andrius and Kate remained unaware of the changes outside.
They had explored every corner of the hall, from the pebbles under their feet to the ceiling, but foundnothing else. They walked around aimlessly and ended up returning to the mural again.
“This doesn’t make sense.” Andrius looked at the mural and placed his hand on it. “This hall was builtnear the magma, yet the air is so humid. There should be a water source nearby, and it shouldprobably be a large one.”
Kate was also puzzled and glanced at some moss in a corner. “If there were no water source, the airwouldn’t be this humid, and moss wouldn’t grow.”
Both of them were perplexed.
“Let’s keep searching!” Andrius gritted his teeth. “I suspect there is an underground river somewherehere.”
“Okay.”
The two had already lost count of how many times they searched the area thoroughly. However, aftercircling around a dozen times, they still could not find any hidden mechanisms or secret compartments,let alone the underground river.
As they walked, they found themselves back at the mural again.
“Forget it.”
Andrius‘ meridians were still not fully healed, and he had been struck by Norvin, worsening his oldinjuries and adding new ones. He was already exhausted after several rounds of searching.
He stood in front of the mural and continued to contemplate.
As he looked around, he suddenly noticed something he had not paid attention to before. In the bottomrow of the mural, in the far–off and increasingly blurry distance, many small figures were bowing towardthe central altar. There was a meditating cultivator sitting on the altar.
It seemed like they were participating in some kind of ceremony, and the figures were showing utmostrespect.
What exactly was that meant to convey?
Andrius pondered but could not arrive at a perfect conclusion.
He called out and pointed to the small figures. “Kate, what do you think these figures in the mural aredoing? What’s their significance?”
Kate had been thinking about cultivation techniques. Upon hearing Andrius‘ words, she immediatelylooked at the figures more closely.
After observing them for a moment, her furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and she said
meaningfully, “I think these figures are facing the central meditating cultivator on the altar.

“Maybe they’re ordinary people worshiping this powerful ancient martial cultivator, and this altarsignifies their devotion.”
Andrius nodded slightly. He also thought the same.
However…
The mural supposedly contained a mysterious and powerful cultivation technique. Why would the Kleinfamily’s ancestors deliberately depict ordinary people like this?
Could it be a guide for future generations?
At that thought, Andrius immediately thought of another possibility.
“Kate, if your speculation is correct, the location of the altar must correspond to the underground river!”
Andrius‘ tone was confident.
Kate was stunned and just about to question how Andrius got to that conclusion, but he continued,“The highest virtue is that of water. Water benefits all things and does not vie, yet it resides in placesthat people disdain.
“In ancient times, people regarded water as a path to heaven and a powerful symbol. Interestingly, themural has a sacred altar that represents their path.
“Moreover, the direction faintly indicated by the stream in the mural also aligns with the location of thealtar.
“If my guess is correct
the position of the altar in the mural corresponds to the location ofnovelbin
the underground river in this hall!”
Andrius‘ gaze was bright, firmly fixed on the mural’s altar.
“That makes sense!” Kate agreed, and the two of them immediately began to analyze the mural further.
The direction of the altar was easy to determine. It was situated in the east–north–east section of themural. According to the mural’s proportions, it was several meters away from where they werestanding.
