Chapter 1293 - 628: Leaping Over the Dragon Gate

Chapter 1293: Chapter 628: Leaping Over the Dragon Gate

It’s not just about opening doors; crossing tribulations is similar. On the path of Tao, blocked by obstacles and tribulations, it ultimately boils down to two methods.

Either you behave honestly, follow others’ rules, and find the key to open the door.

Or you take up a knife, chop your way through the South Heavenly Gate, and carve out your own path to walk.

So Chen Xuantian brought out the axe.

In this scenario, it is actually the key.

Ahem, well, it still needs to be explained a bit more.

As per his earlier conjectures, this axe is indeed non-material. Although it looks like an axe, once thrown into the water, it infinitely proliferates, splitting into three axes. So when he initially entered the forest with the axe, he actually used the principle of chopping open the door, relying on non-material rules to interfere, breaking through the domain set by Xuan Du.

And in the current scenario, the non-material is the key.

Yes, because this door was originally the entrance to the non-material repository. Hence, neither you nor he can enter, but the non-material can.

Moreover, if it were really designed for frequent opening, there’s a risk of dangerous goods leaking. So although the exact principle is unknown, according to Yu Zao’s memory, the usual company method for storing dangerous goods is simply to throw the non-material into the door, as was done with the doll earlier.

Thus, Chen Xuantian kept the iron axe, gave a silver one to Xuan Du because silver conducts electricity, then lifted the axe and swung it towards the door.

Through he went.

Hmm, just a moment of blackness, and he was through; it was quite simple...

The scene on this side of the door also looked familiar; it was that ten-foot-square cubicle, just like those for storing non-materials before, with walls as smooth as mirror-like, milky white jade. However, unlike the others, this particular room had one transparent wall.

From one glance, outside appeared like an apartment building, with layered, stacked, row upon row of honeycomb-like compartments, along with sky bridges, corridors, elevators, and aerial gardens. It’s more like a residential community than a warehouse.

The entire region’s emergency lighting was still functioning normally, casting a faint white light, indicating that this area’s energy system must have been separately isolated by the ’gate,’ thus not affected by the Netherworld Spring.

Chen Xuantian extended his tentacle to probe, confirming something like an invisible glass wall existed in front, then turned his head, not seeing Xuan Du following along, unsure if he couldn’t come in or was teleported to other compartments.

Recalling Yu Zao’s memory, Chen Xuantian thought for a moment and threw the iron axe into the room. As the axe left his hand, a Nether Spring Escape flashed over from inside the room, and in the next frame, the compartment behind him was immediately sealed by the milky white wall.

Chen Xuantian wasn’t in a rush to save the world, wandering in the corridor with hands in pockets, looking around at the honeycomb-like compartments. Based on the sparse information from Yu Zao’s limited brain capacity, piecing together the memory puzzle gradually, consisting of authorization, unlocking, downloading.

In short, this place was originally the Titan crew cabin, but due to a hazardous material out of control, the non-material rampaged causing the residential area to be overrun and completely sealed.

The sealing tool was that ’gate’ outside, cutting off the entire residential area from the ship, not only physically but also elevating the entire space-time dimension.

Therefore, the residential area isn’t within the Titan; it’s inside the ’gate,’ a dimension independent of space-time, like a Sumeru Mustard Seed-like spatial rift.

Each locked white honeycomb room might store a non-material item, possibly a relic of Thunder Ancestor, an out-of-control nuclear explosion Heavenly Demon Statue, or merely a ship member’s bones trapped within. More likely, it might be empty with nothing inside.

Of course, even for a Level 4.5 Civilization, this space-time elevation technology belongs to uncontrollable fringe technology. Yet, the company used this technology to create various replicas on the ground, so theoretically, the danger goods warehouse is in the same space as the Cave Heaven Blessed Lands.

And now, after Mystic Sect cleared those replicas, people unexpectedly found the places decent, moving in as Cave Mansions. Occasionally, some honeycomb warehouses connect directly to the Cave Heaven Blessed Lands on the ground, hence some honeycombs, when opened, might directly link to Mount Heng Bathhouse or Leisure Cave Mansion’s side of the white jade wall. It’s no wonder non-material Heavenly Demon escape events occurred.

Fortunately, the situation isn’t too severe; the likelihood of such incidents is still minimal. Most non-material items would be captured by the border department. Moreover, the purpose of these honeycombs is primarily to imprison non-materials, so the door naturally can’t be opened from inside the room, thus avoiding concern that someone might use external space leaks to infiltrate backward.

Of course, this time Chen Xuantian entered from the proper warehouse entrance, so he can certainly open the door from the inside out. If he opens the door to the Mount Heng Bathhouse, he might directly return to Earth.

Skillfully rubbing his face, shaping it into Yu Zao’s appearance, Chen Xuantian casually slapped a door.

The milky-white jade wall suddenly cleared up, seemingly dispersing clouds and mists, transforming into a clear, mirror-like glass door. Indeed, the top Titan authority lies with this guy, as long as it’s ’controllable’ company technology, this face prevails everywhere.
