Stepping into the black portal, he could feel the weird sensation of pa.s.sing through s.p.a.ce, one that differs from a teleportation array where he had to be wary of any debris that might go off course.
Nightin scanned around the area, for the first time in his life, did he truly admire the power s.p.a.ce could hold, carca.s.ses and corpses were piled up everywhere and even rare treasures weren"t spared from this endless travel.
He could see the lines in the s.p.a.ce with his Samsara law, but still held back from probing any further about the s.p.a.ce law, it wouldn"t benefit him if he gets overconfident and cultivates another Divine law.
Even so, it was a journey which didn"t take much time, after approximately five minutes had pa.s.sed, footsteps finally could be heard again, with a ta on the ground.
That was fast. Nightin thought to himself as he observed the area, cold hard ground and rocky walls with some random junk, were all spread out across the floor.
There were no signs or any guides to give him the information on where to head to, after some slight pondering, he decided to remain here and wait for him.
Dark Fang who had just ended his cultivation of the day after sending his master aura, detected that someone else besides his own species had made it here with his ultrasound.
Nightin may have sharp senses which was much above that of his own race and others, but how could he compare to Dark Fang who was actually a leading figure of his race as well. The high frequency of the cry wasn"t audible to him.
Flapping his wings, Dark Fang started to fly towards Nightin direction, it may have only been a few days of seperation, but they have already spent up to twenty plus years together.
He missed him as a friend and as someone who should always be by his side constantly, his spearhead if there"s an enemy to attack, his s.h.i.+eld if there"s a destructive force impending.
Rumble
When waiting, Nightin realised that there were tiny cracks on the wall, veiled up by the darkness and mysterious bugs that clouded his vision.
Something was being hidden in this cave without the current owner knowing about it, the feeling of danger it was emitting made his body shudder in fear.
Just what is it? Placing his hand on the wall, wisps of flame devoured the bugs as they enjoyed a feast before going to bed. Thank you master for the supper, that"s what they told Nightin as the flames dissipated.
After the bugs were gone, he paid closer attention and realised that there was a seal, or a puzzle surrounding the crack.
There was a circular tablet which surrounded the cave and blocked off his vision on the tablet was the numbers 1 to 9 and each of them were of a different colour, in the middle of all those was a b.u.t.ton which protruded out.
"Young man, if you are able to solve this puzzle of mine, I will await your arrival in the Blue Star force residing in the Divine realm."
A voice sounded off in Nightin"s head.
"Hey! What divine realm are you talking about?" Nightin shouted, but the only replied he received was his own echo.
d.a.m.n it, Nightin cursed as he started to ponder about what the Divine realm could be.
Is the Divine realm at another dimension with cultivation realms which exceeds that of the Overlord realms we know of? Or is it a location whereby it"s in another universe? But what would that mean? What would it lead to? What it being wrapped up?
Nightin was lost in his own trail of thoughts, but the same voice brought him back to his senses once again "Stop thinking about the Divine realm, you"ll know the answers one day!"
Nightin shook his head as he shook of the thought and mumbled "That was close, I almost lost sense of myself back then."
Looking at the puzzle in front of him again, he started to observe the colour of each number. One was of a Crimson red, Two was of a Oceanic blue, Three was of a emerald green, Four was of a dazzling yellow, Five was of a dull grey, Six was of a pitch blackness, seven was of a dazzling glow, eight was of the sun and moon, nine was of the stars and planets.
Planets? What are those? Why do I know about their existence? Nightin didn"t know why, but the more he understands about this more, the more he realised that he"s just an ant trapped in a cage, he would always breakthrough the seals, only to realise that he"s trapped within the same cage of a larger size.
Uselessness. Helplessness. Fruitlessness. Everything done was pointless, nothing would help him to unravel the wrapped gift. To be more exact, is it a gift within the gift? Or another door to the gift even larger? What"s true and what"s false? What"s reality and what"s a lie?
Pus.h.i.+ng the b.u.t.ton with his finger, a wheel appeared as it spins around the nine boxes, pa.s.sing by each of them once as it gradually slowed down.
Two, the Oceanic blue.
Before Nightin could react, he was already transported into an island and was stranded out all here alone, in front of him was a clone of him which was formed by water.
"Hey, can you talk?" Nightin probed the water clone standing right before him.
The breeze went past his ears as he mocked himself, what am I thinking of, can water even speak or even have its own consciousness?
"What did you just say?" A clear voice which was a perfect replica of his asked from the front, it was the water clone.
"So you can speak huh? It seems like you aren"t restricted to just the boundary of water anymore."
"It doesn"t matter, you can be rude to me. You are my first and only companion ever since my birth and I"ll make you stay here with me until the day where time stops for us."
