Chapter 2160  A Puzzle Of Immortal Senses

In the middle of the hall, a circular structure was erected. It had an elaborate design with ten horizontal protrusions rising from it. These protrusions were at an equidistant position from each other and were at the exact height for a person to touch it comfortably. They were sharped like spheres, and even had the imprint of hands on them, hinting that they needed to be touched. There were several runes carved onto the sphere, as well as the rest of the structure, showing that this was a large formation array of some kind. Lin Mu couldn't recognize it from a single glance, but seeing the ten spheres, guessed that it needed all ten of them to activate it.

"Is that the final obstacle?" Ziran asked, seeing the structure and its design.

"Yes." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "We've tested it a bit, but we're unable to do anything." He revealed.

"We confirmed the fact that we would need you all to arrive before being able to do anything." Monk Hushu stated. "I've been trying to analyze the runes on it, but they don't seem to be coherent." Daoist Chu said before taking out a jade slip. "Would you like to take a look? I've recorded them here." He asked.

"Sure," Lin Mu nodded, finding it convenient.

~shua~

His immortal sense entered the Jade Slip and scanned its contents. All the runes that were present on the structure had been copied onto here, and Daoist Chu had even organized them in a way that seemed the most likely pattern a formation would be made.

But even then there were several glaring flaws to it all, making the formation look incomplete. 'It's as if there are several runes missing in this. The entire thing looks like gibberish in the current state.' Lin Mu thought to himself. 'If the rest of its runes are present inside it, we won't be able to check it with our Immortal Senses suppressed.

Just as Daoist Chu had felt, Lin Mu reached the same conclusion.

"Looks like we'll have to directly try it out to figure the puzzle." Lin Mu spoke after thinking over it for a bit.

"Mmmhm, at the very least, there isn't any obvious danger here." Ziran said, having checked the hall.

"Well then, let's do it." Crown Prince Feng Shun agreed. "Everyone take a spot." He said.

~step~step~step~

Everyone picked one of the protruding spheres and placed their hands on the imprint that was carved on them.

~HUMM~

As soon as they did, a visible change was seen by them. Several runes lit up on the structure before a humming sound could be heard. ~shua~

And a couple of seconds later, they all felt a draw on their Immortal Qi. "It's absorbing our Immortal Qi…" Lin Mu muttered and continue to observe. "No, not just that." Lady Kang realized something else. "We can use our Immortal sense now!" She said out loud.

"We can?" Crown Prince Feng Shun immediately tried, finding that he could inject his immortal sense into the structure.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

The rest of them tried it too, their immortal sense being drawn in along with their Qi through the sphere. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"Strange, when we tried it earlier, it didn't work." Daoist Chu uttered in confusion.

"This 'interface' sphere seems to be acting as a gate." Monk Hushu said, furrowing his brows. "We still cannot use our Immortal Sense outside. We can only do it through direct contact with the interface sphere." He realized.

"Hmm, perhaps it needed all ten people to work. It might have been the trigger." Lin Mu said, as he let his Immortal sense explore the structure.

Closing his eyes, he 'observed' the interior, finding it to be quite vast and complex. There were runes upon runes spread throughout the entire structure and they even seemed to be free floating. This was quite mind-boggling to Lin Mu, as something like this should have collapsed due to instability.

'And yet, it is intact… There is definitely some logic to this.' Lin Mu now understood that this was being disguised as a broken formation.

Ziran who was observing it too, had some different ideas upon seeing it. His immortal sense swam around the structure and soon discovered another Immortal sense within it.

"Qiao De." He looked at the man next to him.

The merchant glanced at the man for a moment before spotting something.

"Wait! What's that?" He suddenly said.

"Huh? Where?" They all followed his gaze and saw that a new rune had appeared on the structure.

It had appeared between Qiao De and Ziran and was certainly not there before.

"How did that happen?" Daoist Chu asked. "What did you do?" he inquired.

"Our Immortal Senses simply met," Ziran answered for them.

"They met?" Lin Mu thought about an idea. "Lady Kang, pardon me." He said before moving his Immortal Sense towards her.

~SHUA~

The woman wondered what he was doing and felt both their immortal senses touching. Faint shivers went down her back, finding Lin Mu's immortal sense rather heavy.

'His Immortal Sense is quite deep… He's refined it a lot,' Lady Kang thought to herself, before seeing a new rune appear.

~SHUA~

Just as Qiao De and Ziran, a rune was now present between Lin Mu and her.

"This puzzle definitely has something to do with our Immortal senses." Lin Mu said, seeing this. "Everyone, connect our Immortal sense!" he ordered.

"Alright." The agreed and ten Immortal senses joined with each other.

Every single Immortal sense split in two, joining with their nearest person before more branches appeared and joined the others that were present in the group. Each person ended up with ten branches of immortal sense that now connected them.

~HUALA~

When this happened, more runes appeared on the structure, filling the missing gaps that Lin Mu and Daoist Chu had noted earlier.

"So that's what it was…" Lin Mu muttered. "This structure needed ten different Qi signatures to activate as the first steps and then ten Immortal senses as the connecting channels." He analyzed.
