My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 828

Quiet Winds Church was located on Green Peak Mountain.

The front of the land was a Path sanctuary, while the back was forbidden territory.

Beneath the forbidden territory was a clear pool.

At that moment, Cillian was sitting cross-legged on a stone block inside the clear pool. He was not wearing a single article of clothing, and the water came up to his belly button.

A massive Dark-and-Light Energy Diagram swirled around him, basing its center around his energy center.

On a cliffside in the forbidden territory, Lloyd stood with his hands clasped behind his back.

A young Path practitioner standing beside him asked in a confused voice, “Is Master Cillian taking a bath?”

Lloyd said pleasantly, “He's practicing a Path technique!”

The young Path practitioner bit his nails and asked, “Why is he practicing it in the water?”

Lloyd explained patiently, "That’s no ordinary water. It’s a spiritual lake that’s been part of Quiet Winds Church for thousands of years!”

“Spiritual lake?”

The young Path practitioner looked up, a curious look appearing in his innocent gaze.

Lloyd stroked his beard and chuckled. “Legend has it that a dragon is buried beneath Green Peak Mountain, and this spiritual lake is located right above the dragon’s head. Dragons have an infinite amount of spiritual energy, which means the water in this lake holds spiritual powers too.

"Practicing Path techniques in this water takes half the effort and produces twice the results. Master Cillian was the victim of a terrible plan when he was younger, where his body was infiltrated by antipyretic toxins that wiped out all the cultivation progress he had made.

"The spiritual lake was the only thing that could repress the toxins in his body, and he managed to restore his cultivation progress by submerging himself in the spiritual lake!"

The young Path practitioner then asked, “Will Master Cillian be able to become a Golden Amulet Master?”

“A Golden Amulet Master!”

Lloyd chuckled. “I think it’s just a title, but Master Cillian has spent his whole life wishing to become a Golden Amulet Master… It has become something he'll never give up on!”

The young Path practitioner asked, “Should I strive to become a Golden Amulet Master in the future?”

Lloyd bent down and pinched the young Path practitioner’s face. He smiled kindly and said, “Don't desire or demand anything. Hold nothing but inner peace within your heart. It's good to have a goal you strive to meet, but it must not be the only thing you hold dear…”

With a boom, the mountain suddenly tilted.

Lloyd frowned and looked up at the night sky.

Then, he frowned and said, “That bastard deactivated the formation…”

Holy shit…

Bianca pinched her nose and sank underneath the water before she turned and ran toward the escape.

Best friend?

It was only right for them to sell each other out!

“Bianca, where are you going? Give me the climbing rope!”

Skadi yelled toward the water.

She and Bianca had spent the afternoon scouting the mountain and finally found a back route that would give them access to the back courtyard.

A back path would take them to the middle of the mountain, and they could roll into a creek after trekking through the woods and walking past a power grid.

They would pass by a cave as they walked along the creek and would enter the lake once they passed through the cave.

Why was Bianca running away when they were already at the foot of the mountain?

Whatever.
