The Supreme God

The mountain was majestic, stretching high into the clouds and towering over everything.

It was big enough to fill the vast space all on its own.

Even Austin, who had seen many amazing things in his time, was in awe when he looked up at the mountain in front of him.

'I can't believe such an extraordinary mountain has been hidden on Earth!

And if it weren't for Julian's heightened sensitivity, I would never have found it!'

Austin mused, with excitement and intrigue bubbling inside of him.

His strength was at such a terrifying level that no one in the Sea of Chaos, or even the supreme universes, was a match for him.

And yet, standing before this mountain, he actually felt insignificant.

'Did a god of chaos create this mountain?'

This thought suddenly popped into his mind as the only explanation he had.

What surprised him even more, was the many other mountains floating around the gargantuan one in the middle. He could not be sure whether they were real or not.

"Huh? What's that?

There's water at the foot of the mountain. It looks like the sea,"

Julian exclaimed, pointing at the bottom of the mountain.

Austin looked in the direction his son gestured at and caught sight of the vast ocean that lay there.

How had he missed it? It was almost as magnificent as the mountain itself.

The water was crystal clear, calm and still, serenity prevailing over it.

If one wished to go up the mountain, he'd have to cross that sea first.

'Could this be the legendary Sumeru Mountain?

And is this sea the Treasure Pool?'

The picturesque scenery in front of Austin reminded him of the tales of the legendary mountain.

The water in the Treasure Pool was known as the Water of Merit, and had eight distinct characteristics.

It was clean, cold, sweet, soft, moist, calming, thirst-quenching and nutritive.

It was rare and very beneficial; monks dreamed of getting just a sip.
