Dale had told Zen of how they had communicated with Geoffrey before.
Now that the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord mentioned it, Zen was naturally filled with a great deal of concern. He gestured to Lorena and Rosie to be silent.
Everyone quieted down, their hearts filled with all sorts of strange feelings.
How was it possible for Geoffrey to communicate with them through this sword?
Was he trapped in it?
Rocher carried the Other Shore Token and could now feel the power of the vibrations, but what did such intermittent vibrations mean?
The sword vibrated for a while before the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord said with an odd expression, "He says that he has found another holy pillar, and he can connect the line of the Lone Sword there."
"Does that mean the Lone Sword can get stronger?" asked Zen hopefully.
"Yes," answered the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, nodding. "Its ability may change as well."
Rocher's eyes lit up in surprise. "Sir, do you mean that Geoffrey is capable of modifying the Lone Sword's ability?"
With a faint hint of a smile, the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord said, "Geoffrey is on the pillar. He can modify the abilities of the Lone Sword and other Other Shore Tokens. He just happened to find the Lone Sword."
"That's unbelievable!" Rocher exclaimed in absolute shock.
He had sensed a change in the sword's ability before, but he could not understand how it had happened. His understanding of Other Shore Tokens was limited to the Other Shore after all. He had never even thought of the world outside the chaos.
He hadn't expected his Lone Sword's change would have something to do with Geoffrey, and yet it was his modification that had given the sword such great power.
Mike, Bromley, and Holy Jay were just as astonished.
It was well known by all that
the Other Shore Tokens were the source of power in the chaos.
But to their surprise, Mike's grandson could modify them at will. What kind of ability was this?
Joy's heart was filled with tenderness as she reminisced about the little boy who had once caused trouble in the fairy palace, who was now so incredibly powerful.
"What line? What pillar? Zen, tell him to come out of the sword!" Lorena ordered grumpily.
She too knew the significance of the Other Shore Tokens and how extraordinary Geoffrey's ability was.
But she couldn't accept that Zen had let her grandson face the risks it came with all alone.
"Mother, Geoffrey is not in the Lone Sword. His current state is unlike anything you are familiar with," said Zen, trying to calm her down.
"I don't care!" Lorena said, ignoring him and turning to the Lone Sword. "Geoffrey, can you hear me? Come back now!"
"Grandma..."
Geoffrey was taken aback by his grandmother's plea as he stood at the stair of the pillar.
He climbed a long distance on the chain before he finally arrived at the mysterious courtyard that hung in the air.
But when he got there, he discovered the courtyard was bound tightly by the massive chain and there was not even a crack to be found that he could enter through.
This did not deter him. He didn't even consider turning back. He climbed up the chain from another corner of the courtyard and successfully reached a different pillar.
The first pillar had all sorts of lines on it that were connected to the chaos. The second pillar, however, was bare and didn't have any light spreading out from it, including the location of the ten Holy Items at the top.
Geoffrey knew the Holy Items were significant.
'What if I upgrade the Lone Sword into a Holy Item?'
With this idea burning within, he climbed back along the chain and returned to the eleventh stair of the pillar of the Snake Spirit Sect. When he came into contact with the light, he told the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord of his plan, but as he spoke, he discovered that something was wrong.
