"So powerful?!"
After hearing the black-robed woman's lengthy explanation, Alan couldn't help but feel tempted.
Don't be fooled by the Stone of Sage's small size—it wasn't just a gemstone. This seemingly ordinary gem possessed three extraordinary abilities: matter transformation, high-efficiency healing, and soul capturing. It was an all-in-one miracle artifact.
Unable to resist any longer, Alan stepped forward, intent on entering the rift and retrieving the Stone of Sage.
"Wait!"
The black-robed woman's sudden voice halted Alan just as he was about to step through.
"A sacred relic like the Stone of Sage? You really thought it would let itself be taken so easily?"
"The immense vital energy within it isn't just for show. After countless ages, that power has certainly evolved into a primal consciousness of its own."
