The ten strongest Other Shore Tokens stored on the top of a holy pillar were referred to by the Snake Spirit Sect as the Holy Items.
The Snake Spirit King Cornelius had selected the ten items himself and strategically ordered them to be placed in this specific location for a very important reason.
If someone was spying on him now through one of these items, it meant that they had climbed up the holy pillar.
"My king, may I know what happened?" Sewell asked, trying to look and sound as respectful as he could be.
He was the first one to come to the Snake Spirit King, and he did not want to try his patience.
The Snake Spirit King granted his request, filling him on what was happening to the holy pillar. When Sewell heard what the Snake Spirit King said, his neutral expression became somber.
"We have left the main world for too long, my king. After the slaughter, many creatures might have been born there. I guess that some of them accidentally climbed up the holy pillar," Sewell said, his voice sounding worried.
This only confirmed what the Snake Spirit King refused to hear. The main world was not empty. It was not dead.
It was simply not prospering the way it did before.
Long ago, the Snake Spirit Sect had sent the members of the Element Spirit Civilization into the main world to have them gather as much information about it as they could.
From this mission, they discovered that there were already small races forming in the main world. Even worse, some of them were strong.
In terms of size and strength, however, they were not much in comparison to the Four Spirits Sect, but this did not mean they were to be discarded. After all, a threat was a threat.
"To think that those losers had the audacity to approach our holy pillar. When I come back to the main world, I will tear them into a thousand pieces," the Snake Spirit King said, each of his words laced with spite.
The holy pillars were forbidden areas in the Four Spirits Sect.
After all, people could see many things that they had no right to know through the holy pillars.
Climbing up the four pillars without losing life would be next to impossible for anyone, but Geoffrey had tested his luck.
Before the Snake Spirit King finished his sentence, Sewell's eyes narrowed, squinting to check if what he heard matched what he would see.
Inside of Sewell's thick tail was a black spiral awl, which was given to him by the Snake Spirit King himself. The awl was a Holy Item too.
The Snake Spirit King responded to his reaction. "Did you detect something?" he asked, readying himself for the answer.
