"Flame of Civilization?" Ian's gaze flickered.
"The final crystallization of the Star Spirit Race's inheritance. It's said to contain their complete cultivation system."
Liam spoke quickly, as if he wanted to get his words out as fast as possible.
"But that's all just legend. We've never been inside. At the end of this tunnel, there's a side hall that might have more detailed clues."
He paused, pulled a palm-sized silver metal plate from his robes, and tossed it to Ian.
"This is a partial map of the labyrinth, only marking this area. Take it and get out of here!"
Ian caught the metal plate.
It was cool to the touch, its surface engraved with intricate, three-dimensional runes.
He cautiously extended his Spiritual Power into it and "saw" a complex network of tunnels.
One of the routes, marked in red, was the very one he was on now.
"Thanks."
Ian put away the metal plate and turned to continue forward.
This time, he didn't stop again.
