Chapter 306 - Chapter 304: The Hall of Unfinished Stories

The Foundation Festival continued above the Celestial Academy with an intensity that suggested the institution had finally achieved something worth celebrating. Music echoed through the Seven Halls with the quality of achievement being acknowledged. Disciples moved through the celebration with the specific joy that came from recognizing that their individual efforts contributed to something far larger than themselves. Hall Masters exchanged stories with the camaraderie of beings who had spent decades together attempting to understand and transmit understanding. The floating islands themselves seemed to glow with the warmth of consciousness recognizing itself as alive and present.
