Immediately, all the students rushed forward to sign up for the mission.
"I'm willing to participate in this last mission."
"Me too!"
"Count me in!"
Most of the students were excited, whereas some maintained calm and showed no signs of hurrying.
Among these people was Fade.
The Prohibition Tree and rewards brought up by Nestor were indeed attractive, so much so that Fade was trying hard to hold himself back from participating.
However, he understood something. There was no such thing as a free meal in this world.
The Sixteen Inner Halls were allowing them to search for the Prohibition Tree and comprehend the Prohibition Qi. They even did not hesitate to use the elixir core as the reward as well.
Such a generous reward only called for an equivalent amount of danger.
That was the reason why Fade did not accept the mission immediately.
Nestor seemed to have noticed the worries of the members. Hence, he cleared his throat and said, "Before you choose to participate, I would just like to say one more thing."
"That is, the Prohibition Tree comes with a risk. You might get hurt or even have your new secret discarded. In this case, do you all still wish to participate?"
After saying those words, a lot of members lowered their right hands.
Upon seeing this situation, Lucio smiled and said, "There's not much to worry about. Although it's dangerous, it's not deadly."
"Being able to be here is already proof that all of you are talented and skillful individuals. As long as you stay careful and cautious, all of you are able to safely return."
After listening to his explanation, members that chose to give up showed signs of hesitations.
As for Fade, he showed no signs of hesitation. He nodded his head, then said, "| choose to participate in this last mission of the search of the Prohibition Tree."
With him taking the lead, Alicia agreed upon the participation too.
Several members of the other teams also raised their hands and chose to participate.
After the completion of registration, Nestor announced, "Alright. The last mission on the exploration on the island begins now."
"All of you, follow me!" After speaking, he led a team of around 100 participants and entered the stone building. They head into something like a lift. Slowly, it ascended.
The lift- like object kept rising and even exceeded the top of the stone building, but it was still going up. Finally, it entered the white mist and clouds, and the scenery below was no longer visible.
After some time, the lift- like object finally stopped.
Everyone was in a trance as they looked at the vast expanse of whiteness.
"Where is this place? Is this Heaven? Everything is white."
"The Spiritual Energy here is so thick. I feel drunk after just taking a breath."
"Mr. Moo, where is the Prohibition Tree?"
Nestor clapped his hands and said, "We've arrived."
"We're here? But why don't I see anything?"
"Where is the tree? I don't see a single tree at all!"
"We are in the skies. There's no way a tree can grow that tall!"
Amidst everyone's confusion, Nestor waved his hand, causing a gust of wind to blow away the white fog and clouds that surrounded everyone. "We're inside the Prohibition Tree." "We are inside the Prohibition Tree? What does that mean?" The crowd of members was beyond confused.
"It is exactly what it means," Nestor said.
