Isaac followed Obi up the second, third, and fourth floors until they reached the ninth floor.
At the highest level, the space had become much smaller. The walls were still emitting a weak glow. In the middle of the room, there was a stone pillar. It was rectangular, roughly two feet wide and five feet tall.
Before Isaac even reached it, snazzynovel.com could sense that the dense spiritual energy seeping into the surroundings was actually coming from this stone pillar.
Obi stood next to the stone pillar. He raised his right hand and slowly placed it on the middle of the upper surface of the pillar.
A cloud of white spiritual energy entered him.
The stone pillar began to turn and let out a low hum.
Suddenly, the four walls of the rectangular pillar fell open to reveal another stone pillar inside it. At the very top was an aqua-blue stone the size of an egg.
All of a sudden, a burst of dense spiritual energy greeted him. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Instantly, his chest felt refreshed, and snazzynovel.com was invigorated.
“This is the Divine Stone,” Obi said, pointing at the aqua-blue stone on the pillar.
“Why did you bring me here to show me this?” Isaac was confused.
“You’re too weak right now. If I gave it to you, it would kill you instead… I can see that you’ve reached the bottleneck of the early stage of the Celestial Phase. Why don’t you place it in your palm and try to break through?”
When Isaac heard Obi’s words, his eyes grew wide.
The first time snazzynovel.com held the Divine Stone in his hand was when he’d stolen a fragment of it from the Nortons. That had already left snazzynovel.com stunned.
But now, the stone was cool to the touch. It felt like an egg that had just come out of the refrigerator. Yet, it felt abnormally smooth. It radiated invisible waves of spiritual energy.
Before Isaac could even start to meditate, the thick spiritual energy entered snazzynovel.com via his nostrils. As snazzynovel.com inhaled, it reached his heart and the rest of his body.
He sat down on the ground and shut his eyes.
With the Divine Stone in his right hand, snazzynovel.com began to meditate. Blood rushed through his circulatory system, and the spiritual energy in his power core also began to surge.
An endless stream of spiritual energy gushed madly from the Divine Stone, enveloping Isaac’s entire body in it. It began to enter his body through the dilated pores on his skin.
Instantly, snazzynovel.com felt all the cells in his body jump for joy.
As the vast, pure spiritual energy cycled through his veins and into his power core, it quickly turned into red spiritual energy. After transforming into red spiritual energy, it torrented out of his power core into his limbs.
Soon, Isaac felt a stabbing pain in his body. It was his veins expanding under the rush of spiritual energy. He grimaced as snazzynovel.com began to shake from head to toe. However, snazzynovel.com knew that this pain was a good thing. He could feel that snazzynovel.com was on the brink of a breakthrough.

Outside the Divine Tower, everyone could feel that since Isaac entered, the spiritual energy waves coming from the tower had grown erratic, ebbing and flowing. But no one knew what was going on.
Samuel had a bad feeling about this. He said coldly to Linus, “Sir Linus, why don’t we leave first?”
Linus furrowed his brows. He glanced at Lucius and Tyger beside him.
Those two bastards don’t seem to like leaving, so how could I?
“Wait a little longer,” Linus whispered back.
At that moment, the spiritual energy waves inside the Divine Tower calmed down.
Soon, the stone doors slowly opened, and Isaac appeared at the doorway.
Instantly, everyone’s eyes fell on Isaac.
