Chapter 170: Someone is Here
"Damn, that scared me..." Ziyu and the others rushed out from the door on the far left that was flickering with red light. "Thank goodness there was a door..."
After completing their Cultivation Method, everyone chose the door on the far left. However, inside that door were some very fierce beasts that could not transform into human form and were inherently violent.
Everyone was unable to withstand the attacks from the beasts, and Ruan Ling suffered some minor injuries, quickly running out.
"If there wasn't a door, even if we blasted through the wall to escape, we would still be chased..." Ruan Ling said, panting. "Let's take a moment to regroup before entering the next door."
Ruan Ling's minor injuries didn't affect her much; she just needed a short rest.
"It seems like these doors are arranged according to the colors of the rainbow..." Ziyu noticed the pattern of the doors.
"A rainbow... what is that?" Lan Bing'er asked, and everyone else looked puzzled as well.
"Don't you have rainbows on your planet..." Ziyu was speechless; normally, life-bearing planets would have rainbows. However, Ziyu suddenly thought of something.
Due to excessive technological development in the Original Universe, many planets had become completely mechanized, and Earth's environment had deteriorated significantly... Some planets might never see a rainbow again.
"A rainbow is a beautiful sight formed by dispersed raindrops after it rains..." Ziyu briefly explained that a rainbow decomposes the colors of light.
"It sounds like it must be really beautiful," Lan Bing'er said with her little hands clasped behind her back, giggling.
"Yes... it really is quite beautiful," Ziyu smiled slightly.
"But even if we recognize these as the colors of a rainbow, we still can't know what these doors represent," Ziyu shook her head.
"Let's go ahead and test it out," Ziyu said as she walked toward the next door, which was orange.
"This... there are so many formations." Ziyu saw a world where the ground was inscribed with very complex formations. Most importantly, these formations were activated, and the energy seemed to be drawn from somewhere, yet they were self-sustaining.
The flames in the sky prevented Ziyu and the others from approaching the interior, so they had no choice but to leave.
"The Body Refinement Technique mentions that one can strengthen their body through external forces and spiritual energy... Perhaps this senior used the attacks of these formations for cultivation," Ziyu speculated.
Of course, this was indeed the case.
"Next, the yellow door," Ziyu said as he walked in.
This was a large room, with a thick layer of yellow sand covering the ground. At the end of the room, there were many treasures and materials.
Many of these items were used by Transcendents and could not be found on the market; many materials were extremely precious.
In the world of Transcendents, because materials were so valuable that they could not be measured in money, exchanges between Transcendents were based on equivalent value, each holding what they needed. The items collected by Xiang Yu were all necessary for body refinement and the creation of Mystical Weapons.
"Many good things," Ruan Ling said as she walked forward. "There are also many spiritual herbs; these have excellent healing effects."
"Captain, let's collect them first," Ziyu suggested.
Among those present, only Ziyu and Ruan Ling had Spatial Rings.
"Alright, these items will be split equally between us... You contributed the most, so you can take half of what we collect. I'll take my share and we can divide it evenly when we return," Ruan Ling said.
"Well... okay." Ziyu wanted to decline but eventually agreed.
Inside the fourth green door.
"This should be Xiang Yu's resting place." Inside the fourth door was a jungle, with a hammock in the center swaying gently in the breeze.
Ziyu searched around, but found nothing.
The fifth green door.
"This building material is very hard," Ziyu said as he knocked on the wall upon discovering that this room had nothing in it. "It's completely different from the materials outside, and there are many marks on the walls. It seems that a predecessor must have conducted experiments here."
"Blue Door is the Tomb of the predecessor; everyone doesn't need to go in."
"It seems that Blue Door is one-way. The predecessor probably didn't want too many people to disturb him."
Only at the Tomb was there no return passage.
"This purple door..." Ziyu led everyone inside.
"When the day comes, I will become king!" A fierce inscription was carved into the stone wall, and further in were murals and writings.
"This is about past lives... and what follows is about this life..." Ziyu thought to himself.
What was recorded ahead were events that occurred on Earth.
"Finally..." The murals extended to the innermost part, which was a wall. Carved on it was Xiang Yu sitting on the throne, with ministers bowing below him... Unlike other emperors, there was only one woman beside him, sitting together with him.
"Is this his goal..." Ziyu noticed that the murals on the subsequent wall ended abruptly, without any further narration.
"He must have aimed to ascend step by step to the throne; purple represented nobility in ancient times," Ziyu sighed.
Ambitions of two lifetimes, yet neither could be fulfilled; perhaps this is fate.
"Let's go, let's go... leaving only regrets." Ziyu reflected on the past events of Xiang Yu, and through this, he learned about this lifetime's Xiang Yu, feeling very emotional.
"Next, there are the last two doors... one white and one gray." Previously, the group already knew that the white door led to the exit portal, leaving only the gray door.
As they approached the gray door and stood in front of it, they noticed a small plaque.
"Wudao Hall." Ziyu saw the plaque, which had three characters written on it.
The Wudao Hall plaque was very simple, entirely white in structure, suggesting it was a place for tranquility.
"It seems the owner is also someone who values peace," Ruan Ling sighed.
"Heh..." Ziyu was speechless; Ziyu wouldn't tell them that Xiang Yu was a complete brute.
"I'm just afraid we won't find anything worthwhile here, while we did gain quite a bit from the yellow door earlier," Ruan Ling said. "Let's see... what this last door has in store for us."
"This is the gray door..." Ziyu stood in front of the door, hesitating to enter.
"Come on, don't hesitate," Ruan Ling said, patting Ziyu on the shoulder as he prepared to enter.
"Whoosh..." A fireball flew in from the side and smashed directly into the door.
"Who?" Ruan Ling turned around to find another squad they had never seen before, from a different class.
"They look formidable; everyone be careful," Ruan Ling warned.
"Which one of you is the captain?" the opposing squad's captain asked.
"I am," Ruan Ling stepped forward.
"You have two choices: either let us defeat you and take your gains, or you can willingly hand them over, and we'll let you go." The captain spoke arrogantly.
"Dream on!" Ruan Ling glanced disdainfully at the captain in front of him. Although there was an unconscious pressure, he knew he could not back down.
"Then let's seize it," the Opposing Team Captain gestured, and the team members surged forward, some moving so fast that their shadows were barely visible.
"Whoa..." Ziyu had not yet regained his senses when a figure appeared before him, giving him a strange smile, and an arm struck directly at Ziyu's stomach.
"Ugh..." Ziyu felt a sharp pain in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood, completely outmatched.
"What should I do..." Ziyu looked towards Nearby. The overall strength of these people was a level higher than his own team, making resistance impossible.
"Right, the red door." Ziyu spotted the door near him.
"Everyone follow me!" Ziyu shouted, shaking off his current enemies and running towards the red door.
"Yes, everyone go inside!" Ruan Ling called out as well.
All members of Squad headed towards the red door. Once they entered, they were met with new enemies... countless beasts, some large and imposing, others seemingly weak, but each beast was incredibly powerful.
"Beasts, stop!" Ziyu quickly said. "I will let you out and give you freedom. Will you help me?"
The noisy space suddenly fell silent. Freedom?? These beasts had long forgotten what freedom felt like; previously, they had been used as punching bags by Xiang Yu, and now they were still imprisoned...
"If you agree to help me, I will truly give you freedom," Ziyu continued. "There are nine enemies outside—our enemies. Don't worry; they are all at our level. The strongest are only level seven or eight Transcendent. You can handle them easily; just help us defeat them..."
"Ziyu, hurry up! They're coming!" Another member of Squad entered as the door flashed again.
"It's them!" Ziyu shouted. "Help me defeat them, and we'll create an opening for you to escape!"
The beasts immediately erupted into chaos, bypassing Ziyu's Squad and charging towards the pursuing Squad.
These monsters rarely possess Mystical Arts; they have trained their bodies to be as sharp as weapons. The monsters here are restricted and cannot transform into human form.
"Alright, let them handle it... Let's think about how we can release them..." Ziyu tapped his head, resolving one issue only to encounter another.
"Let's just blast it open," Lan Bing'er pointed to a rock, "right here."
"Those monsters are stronger than you. If it could be blasted open, it would have been done already. This place is definitely not a dead end. Wait, some of the monsters should know," Ziyu found another rock and had everyone sit down, watching the battle in the distance.
The Squad was already in disarray; these monsters had tough skin and thick flesh that could withstand the Squad members' attacks, but the Squad members could not withstand their powerful charges.
How could the monster that survived being a living target for Xiang Yu be weak...
"They've disappeared..." Ziyu observed as one person, severely injured, was teleported out of this world. Soon after, other Squad members also left this world amidst their cries of despair.
"That captain gave us a fierce look at the end," Ziyu scratched his head.
"Our Squad's strength is still quite weak, so... we either need to quickly level up or proceed with caution, just aiming to survive," Ruan Ling sighed. The strength of this Squad was indeed lacking compared to the previous few classes.
"Next, we need to find a way to release those monsters."
