725: 220_6 725: 220_6 “The time mentioned by the Overbearing Sky Demonic Master has arrived,” he said.
He stepped towards the second door, hesitated for a moment, but still entered through the wide-open gate.
He knew that this door, like the one he had entered the day before, would immediately subject him to a sonic wave attack upon entering, and he knew even more that without the guidance of the Overbearing Sky Demonic Master, he would certainly not be able to withstand it.
What he didn’t know was whether the Overbearing Sky Demonic Master was present at this moment.
Yet, he still stepped through the gate.
He believed that the Overbearing Sky Demonic Master must have something for him to do, and did not wish to see him die, so since he had said as much, he would surely appear today.
As he entered the gate, the door that had been open all of yesterday and had not closed, slammed shut behind him.
With that, waves of sound from a sheng began to fill the room, and sounds came surging in from all around him.
The next moment, the voice of the Overbearing Sky Demonic Master resounded in his mind.
“Advance nine from Xun, retreat three from Kan…”
With yesterday’s experience, the Eclipse Demon quickly followed the directions provided by the Overbearing Sky Demonic Master and soon he had traversed beyond the range of the waves created by the sheng’s sound.
Suddenly, the sound waves vanished, and he noticed a figure lying on the ground, or rather, a corpse, although the clothes on this corpse were already torn and covered with crisscrossing wounds, he could still recognize that this body was one of the ten who had entered this room yesterday.
“So, he didn’t make it to the end and died under the attack of the sound waves.”
The Eclipse Demon glanced at the corpse and bowed to the surroundings, saying, “Thank you for your help, senior.
I wonder what should I do next, senior?
Senior?”
After repetitively calling out several times and receiving no response from the Overbearing Sky Demonic Master in his mind, he realized that the senior must have left.
With a thought, he quickly turned around, ran to the corpse, and grabbed it, quickly revealing a Qiankun Bag in his line of sight, and a smile of joy suddenly appeared on his face.
“This fellow was quite wealthy.
There are three Divine Weapons, and each one seems to be of good quality.
There are also so many Spiritual Stone Tickets and Spiritual Crystal Tickets, more than my entire wealth combined.
This time, I’ve really hit the jackpot.
And there’s the second Sound Bead and the second Divine Skill.”
The Eclipse Demon quickly left and went to the front of the wall.
The same description was on this wall, which he had already read yesterday, so he directly looked at the Divine Skills listed after the description, but then scratched his head.
This was a Divine Skill related to Musical Rhythm, but he didn’t know how to play the sheng.
How was he supposed to learn this Divine Skill?
The Eclipse Demon furrowed his brows deeply, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn’t comprehend this Divine Skill.
Cao Zhen however, quickly read through the Divine Skill then stepped out; he had already communicated with the Eclipse Demon, and there was no way to communicate today, so there was no point in staying.
Like the day before, even though he was practicing Alchemy, his mastery of Musical Rhythm allowed him to swiftly and completely understand the second Divine Skill of the sheng.
On the third day, at the same time, Cao Zhen reestablished contact with the Eclipse Demon.
The Eclipse Demon had already left the room and arrived outside the door, only to find that the door of the sheng had also closed, while the other eight doors remained open.
“I have not learned the Divine Skill, but the door still closed, so the closing of the door must be related to the Sound Bead.
As long as the Sound Bead is taken, the door will close.
It’s clear now that apart from me, the other nine all died inside!
If they had survived, they certainly would have taken the Sound Bead with them.
However, is the Overbearing Sky Demonic Master present today?
The Demon Master told me to enter the second door yesterday, but did not say I should enter the third door today.”
The Eclipse Demon looked at the third door but did not enter.
Instead, he stood outside as if waiting for something.
Cao Zhen, watching the unmoving Eclipse Demon, was completely exasperated.
Could you be any more cautious?
I told you to enter the second door yesterday, and it’s common sense that today you should enter the third door.
Even my disciple Xiang Ziyu, that guy knows to enter the third door today, yet you just stand out here not moving.
Cao Zhen waited for quite some time, only to see the Eclipse Demon still show no intention of entering the third door, so he helplessly questioned directly in the Eclipse Demon’s mind, “Why do you not enter the door?”
Compared to before, his voice carried a trace of impatience.
Hearing the discontent in the words, the Eclipse Demon immediately knelt down with a thud, not knowing where the Overbearing Sky Demonic Master was, he could only bow in the direction in front of him and hastily explained, “I was wrong, senior.
I will enter the third door right away.”
“Stop!” Cao Zhen sternly halted the Eclipse Demon, and spoke coldly, “No need today.
The only thing I left here is a wisp of Divine Thought, and the time I can communicate with you each day is limited.
If you enter now, I can’t guide you anymore.
Remember, from tomorrow onwards, go to the next door at this time every day.”
Now that he had spoken and their communication time was limited, sending the Eclipse Demon in now would leave him with no way to guide him through the sonic waves.
The Eclipse Demon kept bowing, promising, “Yes, senior, I remember.
From now on, at this time each day, I will enter the next door, no matter the situation, without fail.”
