Chapter 564: The Pagoda Hall
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Xue Wei was no longer in the large square in front of the pagoda, instead he seemed to be inside a large hall. It did not need much thought to realize that the room was likely the first floor of the black pagoda he had been looking at before.
The walls of the hall were made from the same strange black material as the pagoda itself. Although no windows were present, and he could no longer see the door frame, the building was not dark.
There did not seem to be any light source, but the whole room was as clear and bright as the outside during the day.
He looked around, only to see the beams that were supporting the upper floors. There were no stairs leading upwards, but he did not doubt that there were more floors above.
Looking around, he could not help but frown slightly. He slowly began to consider the situation he had encountered.
This forgotten city was likely to have a connection to the Black Turtle Clan. He did not know much about this clan, but he had no doubt that there was a bit of the Black Turtle bloodline within his veins, as he had already been considered the Holy Son.
It was just a bit troublesome, as he was not a purebred sovereign beast, and he needed assistance to activate these bloodlines. Even the most powerful Azure Dragon Bloodline had needed help to improve and activate.
This black pagoda was likely to be a very important part of the forgotten city, but he was not sure of what purpose it held. Was it for training their younger generations, or perhaps a place to store treasures?
The first floor did not seem to hold any clues, but Xue Wei was not in a hurry to look for a way to escape. He could clearly see that there were no visible doors or stairs, but he did not believe that he would be locked inside this room until he died, so he calmed down and began to consider what he had experienced in the Ghost Realm up until now.
The Ghost Realm was devoid of life. Even the ghosts were merely soul energy which had no actual life, but who maintained their form by cannibalism.
The only reason for these ghosts to survive was because of the constant arrival of new ghosts which could sustain the living of the others. Many ghosts died every day.
This world itself seemed to be faulty, as if it was never meant to exist. Even the strongest ghosts were unable to leave this Ghost Realm without the help from someone who did not belong to the realm, so it seemed as if this place was not as natural as he had initially expected.
Xue Wei did not have much understanding of the different worlds, but during the time he had spoken with Lan, he had understood that there were thousands of worlds. These worlds were split into different regions, and one could travel in their own region as soon as they became a deity.
To travel to another region, one needed to break through and become an overlord, the rank that Lan had previously been at.
However, to travel from world to world, one needed to break through the boundaries of mortality, but it seemed absolutely impossible to do that in this world.
No matter how much energy they consumed, it would just become nothing else than a tonic to stay alive for these top ghosts.
Xue Wei had always felt that this world was weird, but he could not put his finger on the what or why. The more time he spent within the Ghost Realm, the more doubtful he became.
With a sigh, Xue Wei stopped considering the Ghost Realm and decided to focus on his current situation.
The pagoda hall he was inside was completely empty. There was nothing else than a tiled floor and the beams above which held up the ceiling.
His initial expectation was that this would be some sort of trial that would allow him to increase his strength, or that it would be a place to gather treasures that only the bloodline disciples could access.
Unfortunately, it seemed that he was somewhat unlucky. There was nothing that resembled a test, nor any treasures remaining.
Even so, he did not panic. What made him confident was that the doors had vanished. If there would have been some stairs here, he might be much more doubtful as to the purpose of the pagoda, but right now, it seemed as if he had to pass a certain trial to be let out.
He could not reach the upper floor, nor could he exit as the door had vanished, so he had to stay calm and slowly prove his worth.
The only problem was how to do this. With no leads or hints, he could only slowly begin to walk around within the hall.
He started by walking to a wall and began to observe the black stone to see if there were any marks that could give him some hints, but the smooth black material was without any depictions or markings.
Xue Wei frowned slightly, but he did not get impatient or panicked. He slowly began walking with his hand on the wall in order to feel the material and to ensure that there were no traces at any place in the hall.
After making sure that the wall was fine, he slowly began to walk across the room to the pillars that held up the beams, but they did not seem to have any traces of hints either, and he slowly went directly to the center of the room.
As he stood in the center, he felt that a strange buzzing sound slowly began to hum in the hall. His brows furrowed and his body became alert.
