The higher they climbed the stairs, the greater the energy density, and this energy transformed into tangible pressure, applying itself to everyone ascending to the top.
For Iyeta, climbing was particularly arduous, while Tao Qingqing resorted to half walking, half crawling to reach the summit. Wen Wen, on the other hand, felt no pressure at all; he could even run and jump effortlessly.
This wasn't due to Wen Wen's prowess but because he bore the token of Nivea, the Light of Life.
The Sacred Tree naturally favored Nivea's power, thus it granted Wen Wen special access.
Upon reaching the top, Wen Wen saw a naturally formed platform grown from the tree trunk, and at the heart of the platform lay a clear spring.
Sitting cross-legged in front of the spring was a True-order Master, a semi-human, semi-bird entity with cyan wings and feathers.
Wen Wen raised a brow; he recognized this individual as the Winged Servant, who had been summoned from the Inner World to reality by Wu Wang.
