PS: I was so scared by a bug that I lost my desire to write. I finally managed to restrain myself and wrote one … I'm writing another one now. I hope it's done before midnight.
The stone door was very large, about three meters tall. It was made up of two stone slabs, each seventy to eighty centimeters wide. The surface of the stone door was engraved with a complicated pattern, making it somewhat dazzling to look at.
Sei Itō was instinctively wary of the pattern on the stone door, but he couldn't just walk up to the door without pushing it open. He adjusted himself to a battle-ready state, carefully walked up to the door, and placed his hand on it.
In an instant, Sei Itō found himself in a different environment. He went from a dark cave to a magnificent ancient hall. Piles of bamboo slips, beast bones, and beast hides were scattered in front of the left wall of the hall. Various ancient spears, bronze swords, and beast bone bows were discarded under the right wall. A tall skeleton with a tiger skin around its waist sat on a jade throne in the hall. Its empty eyes stared at Sei Itō.
"You came in just like that?" Sei Itō ignored the skeleton's stare and turned his head to look behind him. A large patch of colorful herbs and flowers instantly appeared before his eyes. The unique fragrance was immediately inhaled by Sei Itō through his nose, causing his mind to shake. At the same time, the energy in his body began to become slightly active.
Sei Itō frowned and withdrew his gaze. He walked up to the bamboo slips and beast hides and picked up a roll of bamboo slips. He opened it and began to read.
A large pile of large seal characters and golden characters appeared before Sei Itō's eyes. Unfortunately, Sei Itō's knowledge of history wasn't deep enough. He could only guess a few familiar words. He couldn't continue reading and could only helplessly close the bamboo slips in his hand. He put them into the Rubik's Cube world.
But in the next moment, Sei Itō's expression suddenly froze. Violent mental power immediately spread out with him as the center, stirring up the surrounding space as if it had substance. Then, with a cracking sound, a thick crack suddenly appeared in the space, penetrating the entire hall. Then, the hall trembled and turned into nothingness. Once again, they returned to the dark cave environment.
"Hu." It was only then that Sei Itō slowly calmed down his surging mental power and retracted it back into his body. He then looked up at the stone door in front of him and thought to himself, "I didn't expect to fall into an illusion unknowingly. I guess the Yin pattern on the stone door is probably the pattern of the illusion array. As long as someone touches it, it will activate the illusion array and bring the person into a pre-arranged illusion."
Then, Sei Itō pushed with his palm. The stone door was pushed open with a muffled sound from the friction between the stone slabs and the ground. In an instant, an empty space of about sixty square meters appeared in front of Sei Itō. The space was illuminated by a dozen baby fist-sized gems that naturally emitted a green fluorescent light. Then, the entrances of three holes appeared on the left, middle, and right walls of the space.
"This is the Night Pearl." Sei Itō walked into the cave and looked up at the glowing gems above his head.
However, the brightness of the light made Sei Itō feel a bit tired. He raised his hand and gathered the extinguished fire in his hand again, replacing the green fluorescent light of the Night Pearl and illuminating the cave.
"Let's start with the left hole." Sei Itō found that there was nothing in the hall except for a stone table and two stone stools. He turned and walked to the left hole.
Just as Sei Itō's feet stepped into the stone cave, the surrounding space immediately changed. A large number of large fireballs, fire arrows, and lines of fire flew toward Sei Itō from all directions.
Seeing this, Sei Itō immediately formed a seal with his hands and activated Water Release: Water Barrier. In an instant, a pillar of water rose from the ground around Sei Itō. It completely enveloped Sei Itō and turned into a shield to block the fire attacks coming from all directions.
"This should be the so-called Killing Formation of the Formation." Sei Itō thought to himself as he gathered his energy to maintain the Water Barrier. Then, he spread out his Psychic Energy and began to investigate the abnormalities in the Formation.
The so-called abnormal point was actually the base of the formation when setting up the formation. Apart from natural formations that didn't need a base, any man-made formations would definitely exist. When the formation was activated, the base of the formation, which was the supporting point of the energy circulation, would emit energy waves that were slightly different from the entire formation. Therefore, as long as one could sense the abnormal energy waves in the formation, find the base of the formation through it and destroy it, then the formation would naturally be declared broken.
After a while, Sei Itō, who had been maintaining the Water Barrier, raised his eyebrows and suddenly turned to look at the right side of his body. Then, he formed a Lightning Fist Seal with one hand and pointed his finger at the abnormal energy fluctuation that he sensed and sent out a resplendent lightning bolt.
A bolt of lightning instantly flew out from Sei Itō's finger like a silver snake. In the blink of an eye, it passed through the void and bombarded the space in front of Sei Itō.
"Boom!" A burst of explosion immediately sounded in the space, and then the entire flame space suddenly shook. However, the Formation's stability was relatively high, and it only shook for a moment before returning to normal. It continued to bombard Sei Itō without stopping.
However, this momentary change completely confirmed Sei Itō's speculation. Without hesitation, he continued to channel the energy in his body, turning it into lightning bolts and bombarding the space in front of him.
"Boom, boom, boom …" Several explosions sounded in the space, and then, with a crisp "Kacha" sound, the entire space suddenly turned from solid to nothingness and slowly dissipated.
"Pa Da" The moment the Formation disappeared, a fiery-red gem fell from the top right side of the cave to the ground and shattered into a pile of crystal slag.
"This is the Spirit Stone in the novel." Sei Itō, who had removed the Water Barrier, walked to the crystal slag and squatted down. He reached out and picked up one of them to examine carefully.
Then, Sei Itō put the crystal slag on the ground into the Rubik's Cube world and turned his head to look at the cave's environment.
The cave wasn't big, only about 30 square meters or so. There was a stone bed in the cave with a tiger skin mattress on top of it. Beside the bed were two wooden boxes with two pieces of animal skin clothes and a few miscellaneous items of unknown use in each of the boxes.
"It seems that the owner of this cave was a primitive man." Sei Itō guessed when he saw these things.
Sei Itō, who was no longer interested in this, turned around and left the left cave, walking toward the middle cave.
Although there was a precedent in the left cave, Sei Itō, who didn't understand Daoist Formations, had no other choice but to force his way in. He could only brace himself and walk into the middle cave.
Immediately, the cave's environment changed. A large amount of fog suddenly appeared in front of Sei Itō's eyes. It was so thick that Sei Itō's arm would turn into a blurry shadow when he stretched it out. At the same time, several sharp arrows flew toward Sei Itō under the cover of the fog.
Sei Itō, who had been prepared for this attack, immediately pressed his hands on the ground and activated Earth Release: Return of Earth. Then, a thick stone wall appeared in front of Sei Itō, blocking the arrows.
Then, Sei Itō didn't stop there. He released three more Earth Release: Return of Earth. Together with the thick stone wall, he formed a hollow space to protect himself. Then, he released his Psychic Energy and began to sense the abnormal fluctuations in the space.
This time, the frequency of the fog's sneak attack was lower. It wasn't as explosive as the Fireball Formation, so the energy fluctuations were more hidden. Sei Itō spent a lot of time to find the abnormal fluctuations. But as long as he found the abnormal fluctuations, the rest was much easier. After using Daoist Lightning Techniques to destroy the formation base, Sei Itō successfully entered the middle cave.
The space was about the same size as the left cave, about thirty square meters. The only difference was that the stone bed had been replaced by a four-legged, two-eared bronze cauldron with cloud patterns engraved on its surface. There was a pile of charcoal underneath. Next to the bronze cauldron, there were some ores that Sei Itō had seen before, such as cinnabar, brass, quartz, saltpeter, and a few small stone bottles that didn't have any words on them.
"This is the alchemy room." Sei Itō suddenly understood. Then, he walked in front of the small stone bottles and reached out to take a small stone bottle. He opened the cork and poured out the contents.
Then, a small black pill with a metallic luster about the size of a soybean appeared in Sei Itō's hand. It didn't have any smell.
"Is this really a pill? It's as hard as an alloy. " Sei Itō tried to scratch the surface of the pill with his finger. A piercing sound immediately rang in his ears, leaving Sei Itō speechless.
"This kind of thing, I'll find a rabbit to test it on later." After thinking, Sei Itō waved his hand and put the four small stone bottles, cauldron, and ores in the cave into the Rubik's Cube world. Then, he turned around and walked into the last cave.
As soon as he entered the cave, the situation changed as expected. More than a dozen men, who were about two meters tall and wrapped in animal skins, with bronze weapons in their hands, roared and waved their weapons at Ito Sei.
"I'm not someone from your era. These things can't scare me." Sei Itō whispered in amusement. Then, he formed a seal with both hands and launched Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet at the men.
A flame instantly spat out from Sei Itō's mouth, forming an orange-red wall of fire that enveloped all the men. After a moment, as the flames disappeared, the illusion array was also broken.
Then, more than ten twisted bodies appeared in front of Sei Itō. Their faces were filled with pain. Although they were wrapped in animal skins, one could still tell that they were female corpses.
Seeing this, Sei Itō frowned and turned his head to look at the situation in the cave.
The cave was still the same size, about 30 square meters. It was filled with all kinds of strange-looking tools. However, from the corpses on top of the tools, these were all ancient torture tools. In the middle of the ground, there was a small jade bottle that was constantly emitting black mist that formed ferocious faces.
When Sei Itō's gaze fell on the small bottle, the ghost faces in the bottle immediately jumped out like dogs that had seen meat. They formed a large black cloud and pounced at Sei Itō.
