The disciples were shaken. "This hasn't happened before. Does this mark the rise of another alchemist in

the Alchemy Tower?"

"The nine chimes mean that someone has successfully entered the seventh floor!"

"What?! Did Celeste finally succeed?"

"I'm inclined to believe that it's Severin. He's been making history for four months now, and he's stands

the most chances of success!"

"How is he so much stronger than all of us? I thought he just made a breakthrough to sixth-grade medium-

rank alchemist?"

The disciples all had varied expressions as they flew toward the Alchemy Tower in surprise.

At the same time, Oskar-who had been in seclusion on the First Mountain within a palace deep in the mist-looked in the direction of the Alchemy Tower in surprise. His eyes shone brightly, and his gaze seemed sharp enough to pierce through the void and reach Severin inside the Alchemy Tower.

"You continue to surprise me, Severin. I am in awe of you for being the first person to enter the Alchemy Tower's seventh floor. At long last, someone will finally be able to inherit the alchemical knowledge," Oskar mumbled before soaring into the sky. He entered a sea of clouds and disappeared into the mist.

Over at Phecda Isle near the fourth mountain, Raymond exited his seclusion immediately after hearing the nine chimes. "I wonder who could have caused such a phenomenon at the Alchemy Tower." His first thought was Severin, and he immediately flew straight toward the Alchemy Tower.

Elsewhere, on the misty Sixth Mountain, Celeste heard the nine chimes just as she was attempting a seventh-grade pill. Her eyes filled with disbelief, and she zoned out for a moment. After a while, Celeste came back to her senses and said with a bitter look on her face, "Someone reached the seventh floor

today. I'm pretty sure it's you."

She had a vague guess that Severin was the one who elicited the nine chimes. After all, she and Severin were the only two talented alchemists in the entire Grandiuno Sect. Furthermore, Severin had been staying in the Alchemy Tower for several months to try and clear the floors.

Celeste felt a bit downcast, but she forced herself to remain calm as she flew into the air toward the

Alchemy Tower.

Inside the seventh floor, Severin realized that the surrounding space was warping into another different space. The moment he entered the seventh floor, an old voice said, "I've waited a long time for someone

The air in front of Severin became distorted as thousands of rays of light emerged and transformed into

an old man. The old man looked at Severin and nodded satisfactorily.

"You've entered the seventh floor before the age of thirty-five. I'm glad that the Grandiuno Sect was able

to find a successor to me."

Shocked by the old man's sudden appearance, Severin calmed down and used the Mind's Eye technique to discern that the old man in front of him was just a projection from the Alchemy Tower. "Greetings, sir!" he said respectfully.

He surmised that the old man was the eighth-level alchemist who established the Alchemy Tower and led the Grandiuno Sect thousands of years ago.

Severin's greeting elicited a warm smile from the hologram. "I'm afraid my hologram won't last long.

Since you have succeeded in reaching the seventh floor, I shall now pass my knowledge down to you!"
