The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 186 - 184: Stone Door

Chapter 186: Chapter 184: Stone Door

Shen Luo’s complexion changed, and he hurriedly dodged, simultaneously using the Water Repelling Technique for protection. But still, he was a little late.

With two light “pfft” sounds, his right arm and left foot were brushed by two silver light blades, each slicing a wound, and blood splattered out, luckily, the injuries were not serious.

The half-moon ring also recoiled amongst the cascade of silver light, trembling uncontrollably with a lot of its surface runes noticeably dim, as if its spirit had suffered considerable damage.

Meanwhile, the white light on the stone door still only fluctuated slightly before it promptly returned to its original state.

Seeing this, Shen Luo’s expression finally turned completely grave.

The half-moon ring was currently his strongest means of attack, but unexpectedly, it was unable to handle the prohibition on this stone door.

...

Although his cultivation level wasn’t weak, he had relatively little knowledge about prohibitions. Aside from using barbarian strength to break the door, he couldn’t think of any other methods to open it right away.

“It appears that I’m not destined for this Observing Dao Cave,” Shen Luo muttered, frowning as he summoned back the half-moon ring.

However, he quickly adjusted his mindset; if he wasn’t destined for it, then so be it. This cave mansion was quite spacious; there should still be many places he had not explored, there was no need to obsess over this one.

With that thought in mind, Shen Luo turned around, ready to leave.

Just at this moment, a light “pfft” sound suddenly came from behind him.

His ears perked up, and his half-turned body abruptly swiveled back around. He saw a small patch of red light appearing on the stone door and quickly stared at it intently.

“Huh!”

Shen Luo quickly discovered that something seemed to have been smeared at the place where the red light had lit up on the stone door. Upon careful inspection, it turned out to be a speck of blood.

He looked at his injured right hand, and it finally dawned on him.

Earlier, when he was injured by the half-moon ring’s light blade and as he was retreating, the blood from his hand had splattered onto the stone door.

Shen Luo’s eyes gradually lit up. The fact that spreading blood on the stone door could cause such a change, even if he did not yet know what use this red light could have, was in any case much better than feeling helpless as he had before.

With this thought, he immediately raised his right hand, smearing the blood on it onto the stone door.

However, the stone door didn’t show any changes and didn’t light up red again.

Shen Luo frowned slightly, carefully comparing the spot where he smeared the blood just now to where the red light had appeared, and soon found the difference between them.

The blood from before had landed right on a hidden red line that passed through the spot where the red light had appeared.

Without another word, he smeared the blood from his hand onto the red line on the stone door.

Indeed, as soon as he smeared the blood onto it, a tiny spot of blood light instantly lit up on the line.

“So that’s how it is!”

A hint of joy showed at the corners of Shen Luo’s mouth as he took the remaining blood on his hand and smeared it onto the dark red lines on the stone door.

The blood smearing his hand was rapidly depleted, so he sliced open his finger and continued to smear it onto the other lines.

A moment later, the last trace of the lines also had blood smeared onto it, and the strange diagram formed by the dark red lines on the door started glowing with a red light and began flashing continuously.

Accompanied by a “hum” sound, the eerie figure slowly emerged from the stone door, hanging in the void before him, radiating a dazzling blood light.

Shen Luo immediately retreated several steps, stunned by the spectacle unfolding before his eyes.

After the blood pattern flashed again, it suddenly shattered silently and transformed into countless rays of blood light, once again merging into the stone door.

The white light in front of the Stone Gate came into view and began to flash wildly. Countless white runes floated out of it, vanishing into the void.

The white light on the gate quickly dimmed and completely dissipated after a few breaths.

The green stone gate made a slight ‘click’ sound, revealing a crack.

A look of surprise filled Shen Luo’s face as he stepped forward and forcefully pushed the Big Gate.

The Stone Gate, made of an unknown material, was still incredibly heavy even without its prohibition. He had to muster all his strength, barely pushing the gate forward by a few inches.

Shen Luo loosened his sore wrists, forming a hand seal and pulling it towards him.

The surrounding void shimmered with water lights. A pair of Water Manipulating Hands was summoned again, pressing heavily on the Stone Gate. But the gate did not budge.

Shen Luo was utterly baffled.

Now, having advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, the power of the Water Manipulation Technique had greatly increased as his meridians strengthened. The power these Water Hands possessed was believed to be in the thousands of pounds, many times greater than his own strength.

He could barely move the stone door with his bare hands, yet the Water Hands had no effect?

“Could it be that this Stone Gate can only be opened by hand?” A thought popped into Shen Luo’s mind. He dismissed the Water Hands that he had formed with his incantation. Placing both hands on the gate, he strained again to push it.

With a ‘squeak’ sound, the Stone Gate moved forward a few more inches.

Feeling slightly relieved, Shen Luo took a breather before he strained again to push the gate.

About a quarter of an hour later, the Stone Door was finally pushed open with a crack wide enough to barely let a person pass through.

However, Shen Luo was utterly exhausted. Leaning against the Stone Gate, he took deep breaths. After a while, he regained his composure and looked inside the gate. His gaze fixed at once.

Although the Stone Gate was opened with a crack, the light from outside seemed unable to penetrate it. Everything inside was still in darkness, completely obscured.

A look of hesitation crossed Shen Luo’s face. He urged his divine sense to probe into the gate, but as soon as it entered the Stone Gate, it was immediately obstructed by an invisible power and could not move forward at all.

“Sure enough, there are prohibitions.”

But after having worked so hard to open the big gate, he naturally did not want to give up so easily.

He pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly became resolute. Forming the water repelling incantation, he took a firm step forward, squeezing himself into the Stone Gate.

The moment he passed through the Stone Gate, Shen Luo immediately felt the surrounding space fluctuate, as if he had entered another world.

The next moment, his surroundings became suddenly bright. He found himself inside a mountain cave that was about a dozen feet large. The Stone Gate behind him was still standing there, allowing him to clearly see the situation outside from within.

Shen Luo breathed a sigh of relief silently, turning to look around the cave. The Stone Walls and ground of the cave were all hard white rocks. They seemed to be some sort of special jade, exceptionally cool to touch but not bone-chilling. On the contrary, it invigorated one’s spirit, and Shen Luo couldn’t tell what material it was made of.

The entire mountain cave was extremely vacant, almost entirely empty, except for a screen-like White Crystal Wall standing at the deepest part of the cave, in front of which was placed a Yellow Cushion.

A hint of surprise flashed through Shen Luo’s eyes, but he didn’t move immediately. Instead, he continued carefully examining his surroundings, while releasing his divine sense to probe.

The Stone Walls and ground all seem to contain the prohibition from before, his divine sense could not penetrate at all. But aside from this, there were no other signs of prohibition within the cave.

Shen Luo strolled around the cave. Eventually, he stopped in front of the Crystal Wall.

This Crystal Wall was about twenty feet high, four or five feet wide. Its surface was extremely smooth, like a mirror reflecting Shen Luo’s image. Wisps of white light faintly emanated from the mirror’s surface.

He studied the Crystal Wall closely. On first glance, there was nothing noticeable. After staring for a long while, the color white filled his entire vision. Moreover, the white light started to slowly spin, following which his divine sense power began rotating in his mind, causing him to feel a sudden sense of dizziness.
