“我只是… 一个旅行者，” I说，我的声音有些沙哑。

Jian didn’t press the issue. He simply nodded, and the way he looked at me had changed forever.

The rest of the night was quiet. The mountain felt calm now, the restless energy gone.

The next morning, we explored the cave temple. The entrance carvings were even more impressive up close. Inside, the cave was cool and spacious, with more carvings on the walls and intricate altars carved from the natural rock.

In the deepest part of the cave, we found another stone sculpture, similar in style to the one in the rain forest, but larger and more elaborate. It was resting on a raised altar, bathed in a soft, natural light filtering in from a hidden opening in the ceiling.

This must be the heart of the mountain's power, the place the Lim Ling's message had guided me to.

I approached the sculpture, holding the fused piece in my hand. As I got closer, both sculptures began to emit a stronger light, a white, pure light that filled the cave.

I placed the fused sculpture onto the altar, near the large stone sculpture. The moment they were close, they seemed to vibrate, their lights intertwining and merging.
