The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 190 - 188: Obliged by Circumstances

Chapter 190: Chapter 188: Obliged by Circumstances

A faint white light flashed across the wall of the Mountain Cave, swaying slowly before it gradually came to a halt.

He made a spell, and a stream of water condensed out of thin air in front of him. It then transformed into a water sword, viciously slashing down and striking his arm.

A loud clashing sound of metal echoed with a “clang”!

The water sword shattered upon impact, sparks flying everywhere.

Shen Luo’s arm didn’t have a scratch on it, only a faint white mark which disappeared quickly before one’s naked eyes.

He nodded, a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

...

After cultivating the thirty-six verses of the Huangting Technique, his physical defenses had improved significantly. While he wouldn’t dare claim to be invincible, he was now immune to most low-grade magical instruments.

Shen Luo rolled his neck, producing a series of cracks. He then twisted it sharply backward by a hundred and eighty degrees and straightened it out, his gaze fixed directly behind him.

At this moment, his neck had turned a full half circle without any difficulty.

He turned his head back, halted momentarily, and his bones started to creak, as his body quickly shrank by half a foot. His facial muscles and bones twitched, altering his appearance slightly.

“Incredible!”

Looking at his own form, Shen Luo couldn’t help praising.

In fact, the primary focus of cultivating the Huangting Technique was not solely to boost physical strength and defenses, but rather mastering control over the body.

He had always been struggling with this concept, but after successfully cultivating the initial thirty-six verses, he gleaned a bit of insight. His body had become extremely flexible, and many movements formerly impossible were now effortless. Moreover, he acquired a keen sense of every inch of his muscles, and he could control them at will with just a thought.

“The transformation abilities of the Huangting Technique are certainly not limited to just this. There must be deeper mysteries. Perhaps only after successfully cultivating all seventy-two verses will its full potential be revealed.” Shen Luo speculated in his mind.

“Thank you, Elder, for bestowing upon me the Huangting Technique. Your kindness will never be forgotten. If fate allows, I promise to repay you wholeheartedly.” He lifted his clothes, respectfully bowing three times towards the Crystal Wall.

After performing the rites, he didn’t linger any longer, standing and walking towards the Outside.

He had been delayed here for a long time already. It was time to leave.

As he turned around, he glanced at the Straw Cushion on the Ground. Showing a moment of hesitation, he finally looked away.

This Straw Cushion was indeed a treasure, capable of calming the mind. However, it seemed that this Mountain Cave was the place where the White-haired Elder Daoist imparted his teachings. He had already benefited so much from the White-haired Elder Daoist that he felt it inappropriate to take the Straw Cushion as well.

Leaving the Mountain Cave, Shen Luo reached out and grabbed the half-open Stone Door, pulling it lightly.

With a loud “rumble”, the Stone Door, which he had strived hard to open earlier, immediately closed. It was as though he had only been pulling an ordinary Big Gate.

As the Stone Door closed, a layer of white light began to shine upon it. After a few flashes, it gradually faded.

Witnessing this scene, a glint of surprise flashed in Shen Luo’s eyes. He bowed towards the Stone Door, then turned around and left. Next, he leaped towards the top of the Green Mountain.

The Mountain Peak was quite steep, with many sections being nearly vertical, making it difficult for ordinary people to climb. For him, however, such a terrain presented no challenges. With a few quick leaps, he had already climbed to the area near the peak.

A grand hall stood at this place. It must have been quite magnificent when it was whole, but now more than half of it had collapsed.

Shen Luo picked up a plaque from the ruins, which bore the three large characters “Golden Stone Hall”.

“By the name, it seems to be a place for storing minerals and Spiritual Materials.” His eyes lit up, and he stepped inside, simultaneously expanding his Divine Sense.

A moment later, Shen Luo walked out of the ruins, his face filled with disappointment.

His assumption turned out to be correct. This place indeed served as a depot for minerals and Spiritual Materials. However, the supplies were either taken by the Mountain Fangcun, ravaged by whoever destroyed this place, or basically depleted. In some inconspicuous corners, he found some ordinary minerals.

Shen Luo shook his head and continued to ascend. After a few steps, he reached the mountain top, his facial expression changing instantly.

Behind the mountain was nothingness, with no earth in sight. Looking forward, there lay an endless abyss, its border completely out of sight. Darkness filled the depths of the abyss, the bottom of which was invisible.

The edge of the abyss was smooth and straight, suggesting that it was not naturally formed. Rather, it seemed as though everything had been swept away instantly by some divine power.

The scene left Shen Luo flabbergasted for a while before he regained his composure.

He bent down, picked up a stone the size of a millstone and threw it with all his strength. The stone arched in mid-air before eventually plummeting into the abyss, disappearing without a trace.

A long while passed without any sound emanating from within the abyss, leaving him unsure whether the abyss was too deep for any sound to travel back up or some prohibition inside had instantly obliterated the stone.

In either case, the Oblique Moon and Three Stars Cave came to an end here, and there was no need to continue exploring.

Moreover, he had already garnered enough gains to satisfy himself.

Shen Luo turned around and descended the Mountain Peak, heading back in the direction from which he came.

Before long, he was back atop the cliff where he had awoken and stepped into the dark Cave again, quickly reaching the outside of the Oblique Moon and Three Stars Cave.

Shen Luo looked around carefully and saw nothing unusual. He then leaped up, like a Flying General, covering over twenty yards in a single bound. With a “boom”, he heavily landed on the Stone Wall across the entrance.

His feet created a Big Pit on the ground, and dust blew up in the air with fragments of stones flying everywhere, but he remained unscathed.

As if nothing had happened, Shen Luo walked forward and stood before the Stone Wall taking a closer look.

He clearly remembered that this was exactly how he had entered this space. If he intended to leave now, it would probably be through here. However, he had previously checked this mountain wall and hadn’t noticed anything special.

It seemed that leaving this place might not be so easy after all.

He expanded his Divine Sense and quickly scanned the Stone Wall once more, but still found nothing. He frowned, placed his palms on the wall and released a surge of Mana from his body into the wall.

The Stone Wall remained unresponsive as if his Mana had vanished into thin air.

Shen Luo pulled his hands back, standing quietly in front of the Stone Wall, deep in thought.

At this point, he had only one solution left.

“Elder, I mean no disrespect. But with no other choice left, I have to do this to get out.” Shen Luo said respectfully, bowing towards the depths of the Secret Realm. He then turned around, faced the Stone Wall, and clenched his fists.

Golden light enveloped his body, and his both arms rose at the same time.

His fists turned golden instantly, as if cast from gold, exuding infinite power. As he made his move, they transformed into two rays of Golden Light, striking the Stone Wall.

Contrary to his expectation, no thunderous noise followed. In fact, not a single sound was made!
