Chapter 817


    Andrius was stunned and subconsciously turned around to look.


    Otto appeared behind him, holding a stone box. It was the same one that Andrius had taken from the


    crack in the statue.


    Click…


    Otto exerted a slight force and opened the stone box.


    Insidey a key. The key was shaped strangely with a hint of ck. It was clearly not an ordinary item.


    “At the end of the cave is a hole. Here is the key.” Otto handed the key to Andrius.


    Andrius did not hesitate and took the key, then headed to the end of the cave, where he found the


    keyhole mentioned by Otto.


    He inserted the key.


    Click, ck, ck…


    Soon, there was a strange sound.


    Then, the entire mountain shook violently as if an apocalypse had befallen.


    Andrius was slightly surprised, but when he saw the old man standing there calmly without any


    intention. to leave, Andrius also grew calm.


    ck, ck…


    Amidst the tremors, a stone door appeared at the location where he inserted the key. It split open and


    revealed the interior.


    Inside was a stone chamber that had been sealed for an unknown number of years.


    Rows of books that had turned yellow with age filled the chamber. However, they were not covered in


    much dust and appeared to have been preserved carefully.


    Otto walked into the stone chamber slowly and went directly to one of the bookshelves. He took out the


    only book on the shelf and handed it to Andrius.


    Andrius picked it up and saw that it had an ancient aura. The title read: “Hades‘ Axiom“.


    He flipped through the pages.


    The first right page was a diagram of blood vessels, and the left page was a corresponding passage


    from


    the axiom


    “To achieve ultimate emptiness, maintain profound stillness. Observe all that exists as they rise, return


    to their roots after they grow and flourish…”


    As Andrius read, he could not help but be drawn by the contents. He sat down cross–legged and


    began cultivating ording to the instructions in the book. It was an incredibly profound cultivation


    manual.


    As Andrius followed the instructions, he found that he could actually mobilize the faint energy


    umted in his body.


    Furthermore, as he continued to cultivate, he became even more proficient with controlling the energy


    Recently, there had only been a hint of strength left in his body, but after cultivating, the small stream


    seemed to turn into the vast sea, bing many times stronger.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    What surprised him the most was that he felt the presence of the Spirit–devouring Insect inside his


    body. Moreover, he realized that the Spirit–devouring Insect was frightened by his energy.


    This gave Andrius a bold idea.


    By mastering this energy, he might be able to control the insect. That discovery instantly excited


    Andrius.


    He had gone through countless hardships toe here because he wanted to control and eliminate


    the insect inside his body. Thus, he immediately began experimenting with various methods.


    Time passed, and day turned into night.


    Andrius did not realize it had been a full day and night until his stomach started growling.


    The maid brought him some food.


    “It’s time to eat.”


    Andrius stopped his cultivation.


    At that moment, he had made significant progress in controlling his energy. It was many times more


    powerful than before.


    “Where is Elder Price? I need to talk to him.”


    Andrius looked around and realized he was still in the cave, and Otto had disappeared somewhere.


    The maid looked at Andrius and shook her head. “Master said you’re not allowed to leave this cave


    until you can fully control the insect.”


    Andrius was slightly stunned and said, “In that case, could you help me ask what’s happening in the


    outside world now?”
