Chapter 100 - Celestium Of The Apes (FIRST MILSTONE WOOP WOOP!)
A fraction of a second of hesitation would have rewarded me with a very bad bruise on my forehead. But I made calculations after calculations and the only way out from this place is through this damn wall. Unlike before, all of the Spatial Chambers were created in empty areas, so there were no physical barriers to stop me from going from one room to the other, but this wall was an exception, it was here alright, but at the same time it was not.
When I used my divine sense, I could feel this was a physical wall, but the ripples around it clearly state that this is the exit of this maze.
"Hogwarts Express here I come!" I shouted and ran right through the wall and managed to exit out into an open area without feeling any sort of resistance.
"Yes! I made it!" I fist-bumped the sky like a teenager then calmed myself after looking around, I'm not that young, but it seems that the impact of rejuvenation from growing in cultivation is slightly impacting my attitude, I should keep myself in check lest I turn into some arrogant snobbish young noble.
Looking around, I had a vague feeling that I was being watched, and that sucked. It must be the one who used the divine sense earlier and this feeling of being watching is irking me because I feel that whatever I do, I'll be exposed.
However, since the owner of the divine sense didn't act maliciously towards me, I'm feeling that so far I'm not at any risk, but it's always good to be cautious.
Also, I need to tone down my Sky Pearl, so far, it hurts like a motherfucker when a Divine Sense that powerful goes through me, but I can't disable it outright, I might end up against other cultivators and I'll need it to help me to fend off the Divine Senses.
Looking around, the area around me didn't seem much different from where I was, actually if a normal person was here, he wouldn't see the difference between the area behind this old wall or after it. But it's a night and day's difference. Now, I'm sure I'm in a place that hasn't been touched by any other cultivator for at least a long time.
I began looking around, hoping to find anything of value, the whole landscape was still part of the Celestial realm, thought it was a strange ground, looking at the dirt, it was like dirt, but golden dirt. As for the sky, it was still a dark space, and I'm still unable to comprehend how the heck this place is even receiving light.
Sadly there were no planets in sight, all of this area was just dirt. Nothing of value.
I walked forward without any specific destination because there were no points of reference where I was, there were a few hills in the distance, but besides the hills and the area where I came from, there was nothing else here.
I pulled out my sword and hopped on it, and almost immediately I felt the same annoying Divine Sense goes against me, and heavily inspect the sword.
Damn it… what's with this person and his nosy ass Divine Sense. But I better keep my discontent to myself, if he is strong enough to threaten my life with his mere glancing divine sense I better not piss him off.
I flew until I reached the hills and saw what was behind them, and here I was totally, completely, and fully astonished.
Just behind the hills was a massive basin that had an entire city within it, yet it was all void of life.
The whole city was locked tight with inscriptions traps and deadly formations, they shimmered so much that I immediately realized the moment I were to use my divine sense I would be killed.
The Formations Here were so many, and so compounded that it would be impossible for anyone to walk through this place without full comprehension of these inscriptions. The problem was, if these were normal inscriptions, I could risk going there and see if I could find something of interest in them, but this, the whole god damned place was filled with inscriptions that were made with Saint Qi, this was impossible, no way, this was death, a guillotine sharpened to the extent that it would cut through the air itself.
I turned away, there was no way for me to risk going there, no matter the reward, no matter what I could find in that city, it's only death that would await…fuck me.
I stood still, in front of me was a creature that I couldn't even sense, it had approached me without me taking notice. It was like a gorilla, with three eyes, one of them closed and on its forehead, he had two horns and had golden fur. Its arms looked so thick and rippling with strength and muscles that I knew that I would be dead a hundred times over if this creature even grazed me.
And it looked at me with a vicious grin, it was laughing, prepared to introduce me to a world of hurt if I were to try anything funny.
And if that was the only problem, It would have been fine, but this very ape was not the only one, there were five more just behind it, all of them giggling and laughing as they looked at me.
Hesitate and die!
Right in front of the apes, I split into two perfect clones, one of them took to the right and the other to the left.
It wasn't much, and against numbers like theirs, it was definitely lacking, but I gotta admit, thanks to the cultivator in crimson robes from the Poison God's Cave, and his annoying pouch, the golden Scripture, the movement technique inside it, I hastily took a note of it, tried it a few times and now it's the worst time every to test it because if I were to fail I'll die.
Immediately when the apes were distracted by me splitting into two, half of them chased after my clone and the other half went after me.
'Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! This is bad they're way too damn fast!'
The apes wound lunge and cover hundreds of meters with a single leap, I was hard-pressed to escape them on the hills, and my only option was to go down into the den infested with deadly formations.
Fuck!
