I watched Ashlyn and Nero disappear before the door closed in front of me and walked toward the black door of the first hall, and opened it.

As it opened, I couldn't help but feel relieved; for a moment, I thought it might not open.

While I am staying in the monastery, Ashlyn and Nero have no interest in doing that, I had even asked them to meditate with me, but they refused and wanted to go out.

So, I sent them out.

Both of them are strong enough to survive in the ruin; while I meditate and study in the monastery, they will scout and hunt.

I have never given them such an opportunity to be free in the ruin; it will be a good learning experience for them.

Though I couldn't help but worry about them, despite knowing they were more capable enough to survive in this dangerous ruin.

I stepped into the second half and immediately felt the intense divine energy, but this time, I was bearing it with greater ease than before.

The divine energy from the statue affects one not only physically but also mentally, and with the statues helping me relieve a lot of pressure, I am having quite an ease walking through.

Soon, I reached the tree, and a smile bloomed across my face seeing how it was doing.

It is absorbing the divine energy at a much faster rate than before, and if it continued even at this speed, I don't think it would need even three months to fill all the flowers with the nectars.

I can't wait to harvest these flowers and extract that wonderful divine nectar, which will help me tremendously.

I studied the flower for a few minutes, looked at it for any deficiency, but everything was good; seeing that, I walked to the door.

Soon, I entered the third hall, and I cleaned myself like yesterday and wore a new set of clothes that appeared before entering the final hall.

Instead of entering the residential quarter, I entered the hall below the statue of joy.

Once again, the bell appeared in front of me, but this time, I did not try to ring it; instead, I sat down on the mat and focused on it.

Ting!

A few seconds passed, and I had just concentrated on the texts of the bell when the bell rang.

I expected it to be loud given its size and unconsciously prepared myself for auditory assault with the bell being big and close, but to my surprise, it was indeed loud but not overwhelming.

It was the most melodic sound I had ever heard and filled my heart with joy.

It put a smile on my face, and I unconsciously closed my eyes to examine the sound and joy that was contained in it.

Unknowingly hours passed by as I meditated, examining the joy that it is bringing, and through it, I am learning so much about myself.

The bell would ring every three minutes, and it would bring mysteries so complex that I could not understand even 1% of it, but that did not make me sad.

I understood this less about understanding the mystery of the bell and more about understanding my own emotion; the bell is just a tool to bring that out, which is why I focus more on my own emotion rather than the bell.

It benefitted me tremendously that when I stood up more than four hours later, there was a smile on my face.

I had far from finished, but it is enough for today.

After getting out of the hall of joy, I did not go to any other hall and instead went to the quarters and sat down on a mat with my eyes; I remained as such for an hour before finally going to my core.

There I began to study with a focus I never had and found everything seemed easier. Even those things that used to stump me for hours got solved within minutes; it couldn't help but make me happy.

It is not just me but also my clones; since they are connected to me, they also feel the effect, despite them being a rational, calculating part of me.

If I continued to make such progress, it wouldn't take long for me to finish my study sooner than I thought and move to work on the inheritance.

I studied for the whole day before sleeping for two hours before bathing. As I came out of the bath, I once again cooked a simple meal and ate in silence, and after washing the dishes, I walked out.

This time, I walked into the hall of regret, and I meditated there for more than three hours before coming back with a somber mood.

Like yesterday, I spent an hour meditating in silence before entering my core and working with my clones.

Days passed by as such; every day, I would wake up, bathe, and eat a simple meal before meditating on one of the hall emotions, before meditating for an hour in silence and then studying for a whole day.

My days became monotonous, with barely any change, and it made me feel calm.

When I came here, I was extremely tense; I wanted to take advantage of time acceleration and finish my inheritance before going back to the world to face the Grimm.

I am still feeling the worries and other things, but the chaotic obsessiveness has begun to disappear.

It helped me as I began to study at a pace never before and also get to know myself every day.

I even meditated in the hall of pleasure, which I mistakenly thought was only for love. It is for that too, but one could also meditate on it, where I learn more about my lust and desire and, through it, about love.

If we are able to defeat the Grimms, I would definitely bring the others here.

This place brings tremendous benefits, and I will be daring and say it is as important as the thing or even more important than it.
