Chapter 304: Entering the Secret Realm
Chapter 304: Entering the Secret Realm
A month and a half later ...
Liu Yang had left the hotel and gone to the place where the entrance to the secret realm was. The hotel maid wanted to continue being the escort of Liu Yang for longer, but as he would leave soon, she did her best to make his experience more enjoyable.
After more than a month doing activities and receiving the charge of Liu Yang dozens of times a day, her skin, hair, and body became more attractive and beautiful. She became the star of the hotel, and only VIP customers could sleep with her, the maid began to earn much more wealth than before and working less. Her life changed after another month accompanying Liu Yang.
Liu Yang did not know that the things he did would change someone's life, if he knew, he would be happy about that. He was currently sitting cross-legged on a tree branch together with a large crowd of people, all waiting for the opening of the secret realm.
A few days later
The gigantic tower began to shake violently, it awakened everyone standing on the site and looked toward the tower. Seconds later, the quake stopped and the first floor of the tower began to open.
There were a total of four entrances, one in each direction. The crowd began to run to be the first to enter, no one wanted to lose this chance.
The tower opened once every one million years, who would be willing to wait a million years? Nobody.
Liu Yang joined the crowd and started running toward the entrance, as there was only an hour to enter before the entrances closed.
At the site there were several billion people trying to find fortunes inside the tower, as they would all be on level 1, there would be no advantages in levels, but the extra stats could not be suppressed.
After an hour, those billions of people managed to enter the secret realm, the place that was full, is now totally empty.
Inside the tower, on the first floor ...
Despite having several billion people inside the tower, there was still room for several billion more people. The first floor was like a gigantic empty city that became tumultuous after people arrived, no matter how they looked, you could not see the end.
When the crowd came in, everyone was shocked by what they were seeing and feeling, the size of the place was not compared to the outside, even if billions of people entered, there was still a lot of empty space. The energy of the place was five times stronger than normal, if one had the ability to absorb the natural energy to level, this person would gain five times more than outside.
All those who advanced to rank 6 had this ability, but since all were in level 1 and rank 1, and all abilities were sealed, no one could absorb that energy. Except for those who had the innate talent that allowed it to do this, as in the case of Xillia Wolf's daughter, but she could not leave the ring and neither the other women. For they may suffer consequences.
Even though no one could absorb that energy naturally, that energy was getting into everyone's bodies, so no one needed to eat or rest to regain their energies. But mental fatigue still existed, people would need to rest their minds from time to time.
After everyone had entered, a few seconds passed, a soft, graceful female voice began to echo through the city.
"Welcome to my tower"
"My name is Lu Mei, but also known as The Master of Constructions"
"Those who have entered my kingdom must obey my rules, otherwise they will be killed mercilessly. The tower has a total of ten floors, each floor will have a new world. Only those who can pass the test will have the right to move forward, I wish everyone good luck "
"00:59"
"00:58"
...
After Lu Mei finished speaking, an accountant appeared in the sky, it was the countdown to the beginning of the missions to raise the floor. No one cared about these words, for much of, they knew that there would be such a message.
In the midst of the crowd it was possible to see a young man of ordinary appearance and appeared to be 17-18 years old, he wore ordinary clothes. This young man was Liu Yang, he disguised himself again before entering the tower.
Liu Yang did not know whether he could enter the tower or not, so he just closed his eyes, and when he opened it, Liu Yang realized he was able to enter. After sighing relieved, Liu Yang began to think about what kind of mission the tower would give.
...
"00:00"
By the time the counter reached zero, a screen appeared for all, it was a totally strange map with several oddly drawn lines. But if you look closely you could see that all the lines were interconnected in some way. Each person had a different map.
"The test to climb to the second floor is to decipher the map and find the entrance of the second floor." After the screen appeared, Lu Mei's voice echoed again.
Moments after Lu Mei's voice echoed, the crowd went into a frenzy and began to run randomly through the gigantic city that looked like several large countries added up. While there were others who sat and began to think about the map. Some began to make groups discuss the subject, since having another was better was always good.
To look at the map, Liu Yang hid inside a house and lay on the bed of one of the bedrooms, he began to see the map through several different perspectives as the architects did in his previous world. Using the Eye of God, things got a lot easier.
The map was a strange and confusing format, but if you look at the correct perspectives, you could see the locations you had to follow until you found the door to the next floor. After discovering the path, Liu Yang began to follow the path of the map.
The three women could not talk to him because they were being restricted by the rules of the tower.
Liu Yang left the house and started following the path, he decided to do several tests before following the correct path. Walking from side to side before making the right way, he wanted to see if it was possible to make detours before arriving at the correct location.
After doing this, when he arrived at the place of entry that was marked on the map, it was not possible to enter, as there was nothing in the place, this showed that he was forced to follow the map.
Retracing the steps from the start, Liu Yang returned to the place where he would be the starting point and began to follow the map correctly this time. There were some people moving in the same direction, but then they would go the other way.
Midway, Liu Yang saw millions of people doing the same, pacing back and forth as they stared at the map. Even though everyone is on level 1, getting tired in this type of environment was difficult due to a large amount of energy that was inside.
Some hours later
After walking for several hours, Liu Yang was getting close to the end of the map, he felt he had gone through several different types of places as if at each crossing, he would be teleport to another location. The whole city was like a maze, and just following the map it was possible to leave.
Walking a little longer, Liu Yang came across a dead end, but the map said that the entrance to the second floor was inside the alley. He just walked there, because the map showed it was in the alley.
The moment he entered the alley, his body disappeared.
The second floor of the tower was a gigantic forest the same size as the first-floor city, but the forest was divided into several different areas, one area for each element, there were hideous and terrifying creatures lurking in the forest.
Several lights began to flash and people began to emerge at various random points in the forest, each one appearing in their respective major element. Those who did not have their own element would appear in some random place. Already those that had more than one element, will appear in the border between two elements.
But a light shone exactly in the center of the forest, where all the elements converge. Seconds later the light began to take the form of a young man of ordinary appearance and wore ordinary clothes, this person was Liu Yang, as he had the nine elements, the place where he fell was where the nine elements and found.
As people arrived, a system sound came out for everyone.
"Congratulations on reaching the second floor, the task this time is to reach the center of the forest. Within the forest inhabit billions of creatures that will try to prevent you from reaching the center. The door to the third floor is in the palace that exists in the center of the forest, there are numerous rare and precious treasures hidden inside the palace. Good luck"
After Lu Mei's voice echoed, a map appeared to everyone inside the forest. People started running frantically after they learned there were rare treasures inside the palace.
When Liu Yang saw the map, he was shocked because he was already inside the palace courtyard, using the Eye of God, Liu Yang began to run through the castle in search of the treasures before the others arrived.
But there was no need to run, the distance between the edge of the forest and the palace was hundreds of thousands of miles. The only way to move faster was to domesticate some creature and use as a mount, the items that are found in the forests had that power.
