The cave was closed and mysterious. The things inside were also mysterious, suspicious, and fearsome.
The quiet appearance of the "stone table," the millennium message, the strange rhythm, the stone bead out of the sh.e.l.l... all of these were weird, unimaginable things.
This was a place of mystery, so it was no wonder that the "stone table" itself and everything else was weird.
The reason why Zhang Yunyan"s feelings were so strong was that her soul was surrounded by this mysterious atmosphere. She could not help but feel shocked.
Facing those weird things, Yunyan was puzzled, fearful, and became more and more fearful. The "stone table" was so weird, hiding some horrible demon methods. Now, a stone bead showed up, which made her feel even more daunted.
Was the demon thing ready to take action?
Zhang Yunyan stared at the sudden appearance of the stone bead and could not help but tremble. Another demon thing showed up and she did not know what kind of danger and disaster she would face.
It seemed that this stone bead was mysterious and extraordinary. Perhaps it was the core of the "stone table." It contained all the secrets and controlled the powerful mana. She could not ignore it.
At this moment, the mysterious cave became even more mysterious and particularly horrible. The tense atmosphere became even more intense. Her tight nerves were on the verge of collapse.
Silent; it was deathly silent. The entire cave would be destroyed quietly and everything would melt into the void in the underworld...
Time quietly pa.s.sed. The feelings of nervousness and fear gradually lifted. The unbearable torture was gradually receding. The only soul became awkward, ignorant, and dazed...
There was absolutely no sound in the mysterious cave. It was as if everything was gone and had turned into nothingness...
Zhang Yunyan was nervously observing, waiting in despair, and waiting for the tremendous change in the millennium message—instant destruction.
This waiting was extremely tense and horrible. She suffered from the intolerable spirit.
In the realm of nothingness, a sound arose. It was slight and sweet, like a piece of transcendent music that made people feel intoxicated. It also felt as if thousands of horses were running—the momentum was unstoppable.
What was this sound? Where did it come from?
The sound rang clearly in the cave. It was surprising and shocking.
Zhang Yunyan was roused from her dazed state. It was as if her soul had returned. She immediately became alert, her body and mind tense with fear. She was looking, searching for, and listening to...
This whole process happened within a brief period—just a few blinks of the eye.
Pretty soon, Yunyan saw it. It turned out to be the sound of the rolling of the stone bead.
This sound was so wonderful and strange, chilling and creepy.
After the stone bead broke out of the sh.e.l.l, it slowly rolled onto the table. At this moment, it fell into the writing on the table. When it moved into the first word "water" in the first line, the mysterious and strange rhythm sounded.
The stone bead slowly rolled along with the strokes in the word "water" and pa.s.sed through the whole thing without missing any part.
After rolling through the word "water", it moved on to the next word, "fate". It pa.s.sed through all the strokes.
With the rolling of the stone bead, the magical and wonderful sound continued to "play."
In this manner, the stone bead started from the first word and kept on rolling. It did not miss any stroke and followed a certain order. The wonderful rhythm was also uninterrupted as it accompanied the rolling the entire time.
It was another strange thing. The small stone bead seemed to have eyes and could read the sentences. It did not miss any stroke, not even a single point. It was as if the four sentences were written continuously.
Apparently, this stone bead was indeed very spiritual. It had life and could observe everything. It had a strong sense of perception.
Zhang Yunyan nervously watched the rolling stone bead with fear in her eyes.
She believed this stone bead was a terrible demon thing. It was vicious and had evil plans. This stone bead was born from the huge "stone table" and possessed strong magic. Once exerted, it would be scary and unimaginable.
This stone bead was too mysterious and too weird. She could not stop paying attention. It was fearsome.
Not to mention the strange behaviors and strong perceptive power of the stone bead and how horrible its magic would be, the sound of it rolling was extraordinary and unique in the human world. Perhaps it was unique in the underworld too. It was incredible.
In general, the sound of rolling would be normal and monotonous. No one would find it strange.
The rolling sound of this stone bead was very different, however. It was like a piece of melodious music, a wonderful melody. It was also like a majestic and vigorous performance that stirred people"s emotions and shocked them.
This stone bead seemed to sing to itself, appreciate itself, and enjoy itself. On each character, it pa.s.sed by while venting its own "pa.s.sion."
It was a living elf, a bloodthirsty demon. It was about to exert demon methods, bringing terrible disasters and would destroy the entire cave.
The music that the stone bead "sang" was the same as the sound that came out of the hemispherical bulge before it was born. It seemed that in the process of gestation, it had already become familiar with this magical melody.
This melody might be indispensable for its growth, making the stone bead more mysterious and weirder. It would continue to accompany it.
This melody sounded soft and subtle. People could feel the profound momentum from it.
This melody had a very beautiful rhythm and seemed to transcend time and s.p.a.ce, expressing great pa.s.sion.
This sound seemed to come from the distant sky, which was full of the grandeur of the ninth level heaven. It was like floating in the endless stream of history, expressing the mind of ancient times. It seemed to be playing deep under the ground; it seemed to echo into reality...
The stone bead"s "singing" was magical and even weird. It was incredibly weird.
Zhang Yunyan was deeply nervous and fearful, but she was not panicking and was ready to fight. She was thinking and hoping to figure it out before the disappearance of her soul—to understand this mysterious and weird thing.
Yunyan deeply knew that hiding was useless and that she was still under the observation of the "stone table" and the stone bead. Once the demon methods exploded, the whole cave would be destroyed and her soul would disappear. It made no difference to hide anywhere.
Since hiding was meaningless, she had better go take a close look. Perhaps, she could discover some secrets. She wanted to get closer to the demon thing, so her soul would disappear more quickly, avoiding further torture.
With this thought, Zhang Yunyan no longer cared about the danger and no longer feared anything. She got up and went back to the "stone table" to observe the rolling of the stone bead and the changes of the "stone table."
The stone bead rolled slowly at a constant speed. Nothing changed after it pa.s.sed through all the strokes. It was still shining with crystal clear light.
The "stone table" did not change, and the fragments of the hemispherical stone sh.e.l.l were scattered on the table. The place where the stone beads were born was as smooth and shiny as the tabletop, but the bulge had changed into a hollow. It seemed to be like this from the beginning.
As Zhang Yunyan was observing, her body registered shock. A strange thing had happened quietly.
At that moment, the broken stone sh.e.l.ls somehow moved on their own.
She was observing the rolling stone bead and saw such a strange thing. She was shaken.
She found that all the broken stone sh.e.l.ls of different sizes had flown up from the table. They seemed to be chaotic, but they had actually gathered in a very orderly manner and resumed the original hemispherical shape.
The hemispherical sh.e.l.l merged into the one in an instant and fell down into the hollow. The small bulge on the table recovered its original shape.
Zhang Yunyan stared at it and observed it carefully. She was shocked. The hemispherical bulge was smooth and sleek. There was no crack on it, no trace of a break. It was exactly the same as before.
The process was done in an instant under her gaze. It was magical, weird, and unbelievable.
This was another incredible thing that had happened quietly.
Zhang Yunyan was puzzled. How could those broken stone pieces and powder have spirituality? How could they fly into the air on their own and then come back to their original position in an orderly manner?
Based on this, they must be many times better than a human brain. Their memory was so strong. Their movement was so fast and had no mistake. It was incredible.
This "stone table" was terrifying and horrible. Everywhere had magic and spirit. It was just like an elf with good cultivation, which made people fearful.
Zhang Yunyan stabilized her nervous emotions and stretched her hand to push it. The hemispherical bulge did not move. It was like it had grown into the table. It had already integrated with the "stone table" and there was no gap.
This process and the result were magical and incredible. She did not know it was the affinity between the stone sh.e.l.l and the stone table or the hidden demon methods. It was shocking and frightening.
Zhang Yunyan had a terrible hunch. The mysterious bulge on the table restored to its original state and integrated with the table without any gap. Would it produce another stone bead again?
It broke, gave birth to a bead, and then recovered. If it repeated this process again and again, how many stone beads would be produced?
A stone bead was so horrible. If it gave birth to dozens, hundreds... the magic and power would destroy the entire cave without any doubt. It could even destroy the cave countless times.
The mysterious cave, the weird "stone table," and the profound stone bead were all horrible and scary. It was too scary to describe.
Facing this mysterious and weird thing, Zhang Yunyan was deeply fearful and confused. How could this be so terrifying?
She thought for a while and could only attribute it to one thing—it was made by the demon method.
Yunyan felt that only the demon method could explain this weird thing and make sense. Besides, it was unexplainable.
It seemed that the "stone table" had magic power throughout. Perhaps this huge thing was controlled by a strong demon method. All the parts coming from it and even the broken powder was all controlled by the demon method. They followed the orders naturally and recovered to the original position.
The bulge could recover to its original shapes without any trace of brokenness. It was because of the powerful demon method to have such amazing magical things.
Based on this, the "stone table" was extremely esoteric, powerful, and daunting. It might be an elf with cultivation, showing its magical power and shocking the only soul in the cave.
Next, it would take action to cast a horrible demon method. The consequences would be unimaginable. The whole cave would totally disappear from the underground, and the only soul in it would disappear.
