Rocky guessed that the golden ball was the one responsible for protecting the relics that were left by the ancestors of the Shura Race.
While he wandered around for some more, Rocky found out that there were no other furnishings inside the temple aside from the murals that filled the walls.
Therefore, he shifted his attention to the murals and examined them closely. If his hunch was right, the clue that he needed to find to point him towards the Demon Sealing Palace would be found in these murals. At a glance, it could be seen that the mural was a panoramic picture of tens of thousands of people worshipping in front of the temple while a ceremony was being held. However, Rocky noticed that the people were actually facing towards the southwest of the divine temple. As his eyes shifted in that direction, he saw that on this part of the mural, a black cloud was drawn, as well as a huge black hole with bolts of lightning.
As Rocky's eye narrowed, he assumed that the mural vaguely revealed the location of the Demon Sealing Palace. It was somewhere to the southwest of the divine temple.
Hoping to find some more clues, Rocky looked at the other murals. But after finding nothing, he decided to leave the temple, thinking that the clue he acquired was already enough.
Not long after, he was reunited with Valeria and Rubygon.
"So, how did it go? Did you find any clues about the Demon Sealing Palace?" Valeria asked as soon as Rocky came back.
"I think I now have the general location. If we go towards the direction that was depicted on the clue inside the temple, we might reach the Demon Sealing Palace in no time. However, I'm afraid that as we get near the palace, it will be much more dangerous," Rocky said in a serious tone.
"I know. But we have no choice but to move forward no matter how dangerous it is. We have to accomplish our goal," Valeria replied calmly. Even though she was frightened so many times since they entered the Ghostly Demon Land, she was still eager to continue and complete their mission.
"I am actually saying that you don't have to go with me. You have already done a good job. I can ask Rubygon to stay here with you while you wait for Princess Layla and the team. In the meantime, I can proceed alone," Rocky said thoughtfully. He was just concerned about Valeria, and he did not want her life to be put in danger.
"I don't think so. Rubygon can greatly help you once you encounter several obstacles on the way. If you go alone, it will be much harder for you. I won't insist on coming with you because I understand that I may not be of much help anyway. However, you should take Rubygon with you. The task to reach the Demon Sealing Palace is more important, and you know that. I can stay here on my own while waiting for Princess Layla," Valeria firmly suggested. She was also worried about Rocky, so she did not want him to take such a heavy burden all by himself.
However, Rocky would just feel more uneasy if Valeria was left all alone.
Hence, after heaving a deep sigh, he said, "Forget it. You're right. Rubygon will be a great help for me, but I won't let you stay behind on your own. We will go together. After all, you can hide in my Magic Spiritual Space if a really dangerous situation suddenly arises." After thinking for a while, he finally made up his mind and decided that it would be much better if all of them go instead.
Feeling relieved that this was what Rocky wanted, Valeria nodded with a faint smile.
Soon enough, they left the ruins of the Shura Race's ancestors and began to move toward the southwest, where Rocky assumed that the Demon Sealing Palace would be.
They traveled for two straight days, and as expected, they encountered a lot of trouble along the way.
All kinds of powerful ghostly demons appeared everywhere as they got nearer to the location of the Demon Sealing Palace. In fact, they were all over the place, regardless if it was day or night.
Therefore, the two were extra vigilant. They could not even close their eyes to rest, and they were just focused on speeding up to get to their destination. Fortunately, they were mounted at Rubygon's back, so they could somehow conserve their energy and also save a lot of time.
At this point, they were sure that they were getting very close to the Demon Sealing Palace. They could already feel an overwhelming evil aura in the direction that they were headed, and there was also an earth-shaking momentum that could send a shiver down one's spine.
"Odin, look at that!" Valeria suddenly pointed something out as they passed through a valley.
