Chapter 524: A secret deep in the earth (2)-
Tang Yin then became curious as he saw Shi Yue's altered look.
Looks like he'll finally have to move.
"What is it?" he asked quickly, and she pulled him as they flew out of there at high speed.
Soon, they arrived at a huge cave that was a bit far from the castle. Here, there were some Silver Assassin assassins guarding everything.
"Come on, it's a long way." She said quickly, and soon they both started to walk down the cave. Find adventures at empire
After 20 minutes of walking, the cave turned into beautiful stairs built in a spiral shape deep into the earth.
After a walk of over 2 hours, they finally arrived at a massive room with a high level of technology and numerous rooms on various sides.
The assassin from the third of the thirteen was here.
"Master." She said as she saw him coming. Tang Yin nodded to her as he looked at the place.
This room was huge; everything built here was white, but because it was at the bottom of the earth, it had to be lit by blue-colored lamps that ran on spiritual energy.
Still, that was not the amazing thing about this place.
It was a large number of cubes with different bodies inside.
From human bodies to the bodies of beasts. This looked like a place of research on some strange virus.
That stunned Tang Yin, who ran towards one of the huge cubes.
"What the hell is this?" he asked, grabbing the paper on the table. It said several things.
'Creation of cultivators? Is there such a thing? Shit, how did they invent this?' He thought in shock and remembered what he had seen recently at the bottom of Shi Yue's organization.*
At that moment, the plans to build a spacial ship stunned him, as they were thought to have been lost for millions of years. Still, when Shi Yue mentioned creating cultivators with external powers, he felt this was impossible.
No one understands cultivation in this world better than he does.
Cultivation is itself a source of life, so how can it artificially give someone a source of life? That makes no sense and goes against nature itself.
But in front of him, it has examples!
Shi Yue spoke up at that moment.
"It's what I mentioned to you earlier, moreover, in all those rooms there are similar containers. There are approximately about 20 thousand people receiving different kinds of strange things to increase their cultivations. But there is something else." She said and led Tang Yin to another place.
"Look, they are also transferring cultivation from beasts to humans." She said. However, she didn't need to say it.
Tang Yin had already noticed.
'What kind of absurd technology is this? Even in my world, there is no such thing as this.' He thought and continued to look all around him.
After a long while, he frowned.
"All these people are alive, but at the same time, they could die at any moment." He spoke.
"Should we save them?" Shi Yue asked although she wanted to do it just to investigate them.
Still, Tang Yin shook his head, "No, someone took it upon themselves to brainwash them, so they right now feel that everything about this world must die if their master orders them to. It's not worth taking such a high risk for that." He said and then looked at the main room.
"...But there is something strange." He said and looked at Shi Yue.
"Where are the investigators?" He asked, and she shook her head.
"There was no one there when we found this place. No traces or anything like that. It's like someone or something snatched them from this place." She replied, causing Tang Yin to frown even more.
'Maybe they have a way to control everything here, from afar...' He thought and looked all around and finally up.
There, he saw something, so he threw a small power at that thing. It was a small thing. Well, to be specific, it was a set of small things.
At least ten, and they were entangled with each other.
Soon, the power reached them, and an explosion rose there, collapsing everything that was there.
At the same time, alarms began to sound...
WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
The sound of the alarms made Tang Yin frown and throw a power towards the speakers, exploding them instantly.
He then looked at the things that had fallen from above, but just then, he felt a slight current of spiritual energy in the vicinity; he abruptly turned towards that place.
"Don't even think of escaping!" he shouted, and his divine sense flew at an immense speed toward the direction in which that small stream of spiritual energy was heading.
'Beyond the demonic region?!' He thought in shock, but just as he thought that, an explosion occurred in the small stream of spiritual energy he was following, and the impact sent it into his body with force.
"Cough!" he coughed as he clutched his chest.
"Tang Yin is something wrong!?" Shi Yue asked quickly, as the assassin stood on guard in case it was an attack.
Still, Tang Yin shook his head.
"...Maybe there was someone watching us. Far away from here, even farther than the demonic region. Tsk, my divine sense couldn't follow him because he used a very cunning trick to flee, but he was a bit powerful." He replied.
It was for a brief moment, but he could sense the other party's cultivation, and it wasn't mighty, so he wasn't worried about it.
Although that surprised Shi Yue, she looked at the things in his hands, "Your idea is that they controlled this place from a distance?" she asked, and Tang Yin nodded.
"That's right, they used a very cunning and ambiguous way to control it, so I can tell that those who controlled it hardly have any knowledge regarding technology."
"It is better to destroy this place, but all the research that has been done in this place, we take them with us. I want to investigate this further." He said, but as he was about to leave, he noticed something else, so he frowned and looked down.
"There's something weird..." He said, taking Shi Yue and the assassin by surprise again.
"What's wrong, Tang Yin?"
"...The core of the world is not in good shape."
