Chapter 711: Opening the Chamber (2/2)
”Certainly. However, we will need to hole to be a little bit larger. At least enough to fit a fist. In that case, I can send a reasonably strong demon beast to check.”
”Which kind of demon beast?”
”A snake type, of course. We have a few demon beasts in our sect that can control their size at will in their real forms. Still, there is a limit to how small they can become. As you know, a demon beast's real form size increases as his cultivation progress, so it also affects how small they can become. If I want to send one at least in the Mortal Rejection Realm, a fist-size hole is a must.”
”Can't you simply send a Semi-Divinity Realm one?”
”Well, I can. But Semi-Divinity and Divinity Realm ones can't even fly. I still prefer to have one that can at least explore the space inside fast enough.”
Lila agreed with Zuitou.
”Indeed, that's the best case. Alright, just continue to increase the size of the hole. As I said, time is not an issue.”
Krune and Iem didn't mind as they continued to work. The hole was already almost at the right size anyway, so it wouldn't be a problem. It would only take a little longer.
Just like that, Krune and Iem spent another nine months working on it. In the end, they took a total of two years to open the hole to a size big enough for the demon beast. Although Krune kept cultivating during his time, his cultivation stayed in the same 4th Stage. Krune wasn't surprised by that. As mentioned before, he had already calculated that speed. Only Iem had some progress. When he arrived in this place two years ago, he was already at the peak of the 1st Stage, so he successfully entered the 2nd.
Zuitou, of course, already found someone for the job. Just as he mentioned before, he ended taking someone at the Mortal Rejection Realm. It was a Karanun Python called Vorin. Karanun Pythons had originated in the Godly Path Realm, so it was the first time Krune saw one.
The chamber was a secret, so the guy didn't know anything until he was finally brought to this place. Only then did Zuitou explain to him what they wanted him to do. Of course, he also offered rewards, etc.
To be safe, Lila also put a restriction in his soul so that he wouldn't tell anyone else about it. The guy wasn't anyone important in the Kalame Sect to start with, so not only he wasn't afraid, he faced the situation as a huge opportunity.
”Don't worry, Sect Master! I'll do my best to check everything inside.”
Zuitou nodded, satisfied.
Krune then looked at them before saying.
”This hole is already at the size you asked. Vorin can enter anytime he wishes.”
Lila, Zuitou, and Vorin nodded. Before entering, he also activated a Soul Flame so that Lila and the others would know if he was alive or dead. Vorin then returned to his Karanun Python form and controlled his Godly Energy to reduce his own size. He kept going until he reached a limit that was around the same size as the hole.
Still, he had to squeeze himself with a lot of difficulties to pass through that. He even left a lot of his scales back in the process. He then turned around and looked at the Sect Master and the others before saying.
”Well, then. I'm going.”
Lila and everyone nodded. Vorin once again turned in the direction of the black wall and touched it carefully. Only then did Krune and the other noticed that the surface of that thing looked like a black liquid. Once Vorin touched it, the surface rippled as if a stone was thrown into a calm lake.
Vorin then took a deep breath and entered, disappearing inside. Lila and everyone else's Divine Senses also lost contact with him after he entered it.
Vorin already knew what to do. He was to enter and not spend more than 10 minutes inside. Regardless of what he found, he should first go back to tell what he saw. But in the end, there wasn't even a need to wait for ten minutes. That's because the chamber began to react not long after.
Several lines began to appear around it, making the chamber look like it was made of several cubes. Those lines then shone with golden light that intensified as time passed. Lila and Zuitou immediately touched Iem and Krune, protecting them with their own Godly Energy. They didn't want Krune and Iem to stop using their power to prevent the hole from closing. But if things turned sour, they would bring the two of them out of there straight away.
It was then that they all began to hear...
*clack, clack, clack, clack...*
It sounded like several locks were being opened one after another. Finally, the chamber began to dismantle itself. Turns out that the chamber was really made of square-shaped cubes. They all began to float away from each other, finally revealing what was inside.
