Chapter 233: Exploration-10
Tucking the object safely away, Bai Lung turned his attention back to the treacherous maze that surrounded him.
…
…
…
…
Time passed by, acted going through the maze, he finally arrived the tomb of Void emperor.
‘It’s crazy…’ Bai Lung gasped doing the flawless body of Void emperor, laid on a icy bed.
On the ice bed, 4 mantras were written, glowing with mystical golden runes.The scroll reacted great to the mantras, as it came out of space ring on it’s own and began to absorb all 5l4 mantras…
Not just that, Bai Lung eyes went to others treasure too…
This time they were real treasure compared to before, Martial Art technique, powerful weapon, items, everything was here.
Just then, a voice rang on his head.
You have found the ‘Nameless Sword’. You have 10 minutes to gather all the treasure you can to bring them with you.
This voice was same as the tower that sent him here.
Nodding his head, Bai Lung wasted no time and began to gather everything, be it scripture of martial arts and spiritual arts, Nameless sword, void origin robe, rare pills and other scriptures.
Taking a breathe, he looked at his body that was slowly disappearing, it seems his time has come to an end.
He looked at the distance, knowing he can’t say good bye to Qing Li, but that didn’t bothered him much, as he focused back on his things.
…
Getting back on his tower he climbed the floors.
On the fifth floor, it was another maze test giving him a powerful item called Ring of limitless vitality.
The sixth and seven floor were another world where Bai Lung was assigned few tasks, to which he barely managed to complete as they were literally impossible to beat.
The task was absurd and he wasn’t strong.
The eight floor was literal Hell, it was an unknown realm where there was a huge war between two demonic tribe.
Bai Lung started as a small solider without much powerup, and somehow he managed to pass the trial while also managing to sleep with wife of both tribe leader.
And, now he was on no the floor…
Bai Lung had meet few people and based on the information he have received, no one has managed to pass the ninth trial,
According to source, passing the ninth floor of this ‘Nine realm temple’ can fulfill anywish of climber.
…
Times ago,
In the chamber, Qing Li paced anxiously.
Her thoughts were a tangled web of worry and longing, each moment stretching into an eternity.
She glanced at the treasures at her space ring that she has collected, but didn’t felt much about it.
Qing Li’s mind replayed their last moments together, his confident smirk, the determination in his eyes… He was quite cocky.
She had always admired his strength, his unyielding spirit, but now that same overconfidence felt like a blade’s edge, cutting through her resolve.
She had seen him face the soul challenges, but this time felt different, more perilous.
The tomb was no ordinary test; it was a trial by Void Emperor, one that consumed the unworthy and humbled even the mightiest.
She couldn’t shake the memory of the guardian’s words, their sinister tone haunting her. “He might never come back,” it had said, and those words gnawed at her soul.
The thought of losing Bai Lung, of him being trapped forever in the cold, unforgiving maze, was unbearable.
She tried to stay strong, for herself and the others, but the fear was a shadow that clung to her every step.
However, unspeakable happen.
“Oh! That brat managed to find the rare treasure… Ah, what is that… He seems to be changing realms,” Fhe voice of guardian, echoed through the rooms causing her heart to beat faster.
“Changing realm?” Qing Li’s brows forwned.
“Yes… He is changing realms, it’s called force recall, within 10 minutes, he will return back to from where he came,” The Guardian said as he knew such concepts.
“Ah!” Qing Li’s mouth went wide open while he body force.
After a while she finally called herself, “Can I take the trail? ” She asked.
“Trial? Sure… Since the challenged gas passes the trial, the next one is eligible to take the trail,” The guardian said.
It was first time, someone had managed to pass the trial, so, even guardian was little shock and confused.
Because, Guanrdian was order to let only one person take the trial, and usually till the end of tomb opening, one person would be trapped inside the maze, that way, no one else could participate in it.
Clenching her Fist, Qing Li rushed hurriedly to the door opened in front of her.
Qing Li’s heart pounded as she stood at the threshold of the labyrinth.
The reality of Bai Lung’s imminent departure hit her like a thunderclap.
The man she cared for, who had faced unimaginable trials and emerged victorious, was about to vanish from her life, potentially forever.
She clenched her fists even harder, her nails digging into her palms, trying to anchor herself amidst the storm of emotions raging within her.
“Bai Lung,” she whispered, her voice barely audible in the vast chamber. She took a deep breath, forcing herself to remain calm. “I can’t let you leave like this…”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Qing Li stepped into the labyrinth, her mind set on one goal: reaching Bai Lung before he disappeared.
The maze was a cold, oppressive labyrinth of stone and shadows, each turn a potential trap.
But her fear was tempered by her determination. She navigated the twists and turns, her thoughts filled with memories of Bai Lung.
Each step felt like an eternity, the walls of the labyrinth closing in as if trying to suffocate her hope.
She pushed forward, driven by the image of Bai Lung’s face, the smirk that both annoyed and comforted her.
Minutes literally felt like hours as Qing Li pressed on, her heart racing.
She encountered traps, narrowly avoiding deadly pitfalls and hidden dangers, her mind sharp and focused.
She had to find him. She had to reach him.
Finally, she saw a faint light ahead, a beacon in the oppressive darkness.
“Bai Lung!” she cried, her voice trembling with a mix of relief and desperation.
However, it was too late, once she reached inside a room, all she saw was few treasure, some immortal level spiritual arts and pills.
Thud!
She fell on the ground, while she looked at a note, that said,
Well, I knew you will come to search me… If fate allows, we will meet again. You can keep these treasure to yourself.
Wiping the tears from her eyes, she clenched the sheet of paper closer to her heart.
Taking a breath to calm herself, she gathered all the treasure and left the chamber.
However, misfortune struck.
On the way out,
She encounter a trap.
She was trapped in origin swallowing array.
———
A/n: she might be dead, the next time Bai Lung reaches upper realm.
