As he brushed the sand off himself, Lin Hao Tian inspected the interior of the main hall. Although it was still underground, quite a bit of light filtered through the many gaps in the ceiling. It was still somewhat dim, but at least he could see.
He casually stuffed the staff into the Backpack on his back, drew his saber in his right hand, and cautiously headed toward the center of the main hall. As his eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, Lin Hao Tian began to make out the hall's interior structure.
The entire hall covered roughly three hundred square meters. Eight pillars whose original colors were no longer discernible stood inside, while the floor was paved with marble tiles one meter square.

It was emerald green throughout, even displaying a semi-translucent quality. The carving was exceptionally exquisite—even the folds in its clothing were perfectly rendered.
