Chapter 64 - Xiao Huas Mission (1/2)
After walking up 20 flights of stairs, Yuan and his small group finally reached the 21st floor. On this floor, there existed only three doors made of stone that were eventually distanced from each other and a stone tablet right beside each door. Two of the three stone tablets already had a key inserted into the hole, signaling that it was already occupied.
Therefore, Yuan and the others walked to the stone tablet that had an empty keyhole.
After inserting the key into the keyhole, the stone door began to tremble before it started opening. However, it was unlike any normal door, and it opened by levitating off the ground.
Once they walked into the empty room, the stone door closed itself, sealing them inside.
A few moments later, the empty room began filling with rich and dense spiritual energy, and a large drawing resembling a magic circle appeared on the floor that spread throughout the entire room.
”Wow, this feels entirely different from the Spirit Qi from the outside,” Yuan expressed his surprise after feeling the spiritual energy in the room.
”There's a special array in the room that attracts Spirit Qi and increases its quality.” Xiao Hua explained to him.
”Array? What is that?” Yuan continued to ask her.
”Arrays are also known as formations and they are techniques with an area of effect created by Array Masters, and anything inside that formation will have to obey the law set by the formation master within the array. For example, if one were to set a movement restriction array inside this room, we would have our movements restricted in some way until we leave this room.”
”I see… So that's what these weird symbols on the floor are...” Yuan said as he looked at the massive magic circle on the floor.
”Arrays circles usually reveal themselves after activation, hence why they are often used as traps by Array Masters,” Xiao Hua said to him.
”Anyway, I am going to start cultivating now.” Yu Rou suddenly said as she sat down in the middle of the room in the lotus position.
A few moments later, her breathing calmed down and became somewhat rhythmic.
A notification appeared before her as she absorbed her first Qi.
1/5,000
3/5,000
4/5,000
6/5,000
7/5,000
9/5,000
While Yu Rou cultivated in silence, Yuan mumbled to Xiao Hua in a low voice to not distract Yu Rou.
”Xiao Hua, do you think you can let my sister learn the Divine-grade technique, too?” he asked her.
However, Xiao Hua quickly shook her head and said, ”Because Xiao Hua is not from the Lower Heaven, Xiao Hua cannot help those in the Lower Heaven, or she will be punished by the Heavens.”
