Chapter 58: The Great Corridor (2/2)
Su Xing knew of the Great Wall, but he did not know what this Great Corridor was about.
“The Great Corridor, as the name implies, is this ten thousand li corridor. No, it could even be millions of li.” Shi Yuan explained pompously.3
“Hmph, what a joke.” Lin Yingmei sneered: “Constructing a million li corridor underground, even if it was an Annihilation Stage Star Cultivator, they could not possibly accomplish that.”
“Right, this engineering is indeed far more frightening than the ‘Shining Moon Longevity Palace.’” An Suwen firmly believed this was correct.
The Bright Moon Long Life Palace4 was Liangshan Continent’s legendary palace. Reportedly, it was established above the Nine Firmaments. Even so, the corridor was not as vast as a million li.
“Legend has it that during the Hundred Deviances’ Great War,5 the Divine Machine Clan already used the ‘Great Corridor’ to trap a Transforming Star of Annihilation cultivator for nine days and nine nights. In the end, this cultivator fully used all of his Star Energy to wreck the Great Corridor until practically nothing was left in order to escape.”
A Transforming Star of Annihilation cultivator that was, in an instant the cream of the crop, unable to leave for nine days and nine nights made everyone shiver from the bottom of their hearts.
“Isn’t that equivalent to the Strength6 Astral Treasure, ‘Row of Portraits Upon the Memorial Riverbend’?7 Could Mechanical Arts be this powerful?” Wu Xinjie scoffed. The Divine Machine Clan that seemed truly able to manufacture this sort of mechanism could not have died out.
“This Young Lady has also heard of that.” Shi Yuan said.
“Or perhaps it’s only a pretense.” Lin Yingmei said. There was definitely this possibility.
Shi Yuan was still a bit uneasy: “But I heard the Great Corridor for sure is in a state of lacking light.”
“Then are you prepared to enter further?” Su Xing asked.
Shi Yuan patted her full chest: “Acting as a professional and virtuous robber, it’s only natural that this Young Lady cannot miss such an obviously straightforward mechanism.”
“Tsk, then go inside.” Su Xing interrupted her lengthy introduction.
“Do you guys really want to enter? If we’re trapped inside, this Young Lady will definitely not be responsible. The Great Corridor, the Annihilation cultivator’s difficult escape, we definitely differ from that big brother by a length.” Shi Yuan very kindly warned: “This Young Lady is fine with being trapped to death, but you have two Star Generals. In Liangshan Continent, you are actually a rare genius.”
“Have you decided?” Su Xing asked the two girls.
“As the Young Master wishes.” Lin Yingmei said resolutely.
“Hmph, Xinjie does not believe a Mechanical Art has this sort of amazing power.” Wu Xinjie implied she was very interested.
Su Xing naturally would not shrink back.
Finally, they fixed their gazes onto An Suwen: “Suwen, how about you wait for us here?”
“Suwen is better off following together with the young master. If the inside has poisonous miasma, Suwen can promptly neutralize it.” An Suwen reflected for a moment, and she was not opposed.
“Ha, ha, you are indeed a fascinating Star Master.”8 Shi Yuan patted Su Xing’s shoulders, laughing heartily, clear and bright.
She proceeded to enter the Great Corridor.
The rest subsequently also entered, and right after they entered, with a loud bang, the entrance door was immediately sealed completely!!
