Xianxia: Why am I here?

267 Underground space

In the beginning, he thought this was just a grave where the strong have been buried but upon descending after destroying the runes that were engraved he had already started to feel that something was amiss. But when he was walking down the stairs he managed to see something that had him apprehensive. He did not know much about this place but still decided to enter, it seemed like the moment Wang was away from his family, he could do reckless things like the period before his daughter Fengxi was born.

From the formation he had dealt with, he could tell that something was either sealed but the moment he entered he seemed to have his answer anyway, but he had to confirm this before he could be sure what he was seeing was real. In the underground space, other than the furthest parts, he could still see some unique chains like runes he couldn’t understand running along the underground. Among the things that shocked him are the fact that the underground space was shining and clean despite being sealed for a long time.

But he did not think that this place had not been around for a short amount of time, he could see from the area he spent time destroying that this place has existed for a very long time, and at this time he also felt the ancient atmosphere in this underground space.

The fact that the cave abode’s array formation was still operating meant that it hadn’t been long since it was established. At the very least, the underground cave space seemed to have been around for more than millions of years, and with the way no formation in this place had been tampered with, he might be the first to enter. But the thing in the middle was giving him chills since he had been someone that had looked up some information in his previous life and it seemed like someone had sealed some kind of neutron star in this place. This enough was something that could make anyone scared, and the moment he set his eyes on it he was filled with fear and this came directly from the soul.

Despite being in a different dimension with layers of super-dimensional space he averted his gaze very fast, but he was still impacted. Worse, he had been directed by some force towards the area he saw the neutron star and fear overwhelmed him. To be capable of doing this requires the owner of this place to have immense power but at the same time he remembered seeing numerous graves on the surface and this gave him many ideas, but unfortunately, on the surface, the other graveyards had disappeared and his thoughts would not turn into fruition. In a way, it seemed that this opportunity he had could only be chosen in the beginning.

“I don’t know much about this place yet hastily jumped in, but then again I do not have other means, that can allow me to explore without energy.” Wang indeed was right, as in some cases, especially when it comes to such a place, all tricks become useless, and thus he can only deal with it himself. In the same way, the structure of the formations and runes in the underground space did not seem to have been damaged at all as he thought. In that way, the entry was just due to being let in by the mechanism. But that was not something his mind was on thus had yet to even realize this.

Within this place, he discovered that his soul could indeed be used but the area he could cover was compressed to hundred meters around him. In that way, this was not that bad as he was at least not blind, but he did not think that was the reason for it and hence he kept moving forward. But at this time he could already tell that this cave abode was very terrifying, after all the existence of the neutron star being sealed in layers of dimensional barriers was already beyond his scope. Moreover, he had already started to become doubtful really about the reason for aliens becoming more and more interested in this Primitive world.

From the period he had been in this world, he managed to obtain some information about things and it turned out that this world was the only place in the Cosmos that seemed to face these dimensional divisions that separate powerhouses whose realm has reached certain levels. In the higher dimensions those that exist have their realms starting from a certain stage of heaven and man realm. But those below can still stay in the lower dimension and this is not something that happened naturally but rather done with the assistance of some mega formations and runes, fused together with the power of the strong. In the end, he had doubts about the issue of aliens being sealed in the primitive world and he has some thoughts but at the moment he did not have any way to prove it.

“The aliens could not cross the distance from their home cosmos to this place for just some world unless something on it is attractive. In most cases, an inheritance from some powerhouse way above them, and the guy that sealed this world even dividing did not do this for the good of its creatures either. After all, the number of humans in this place is minimal, perhaps the failure to discover the so-called legacy is the reason the aliens are sealed rather than killed.” Wang failed to realize that his thoughts were on point and that the old man that set up this formation is not someone from this cosmos at the same time only left a clone behind waiting for the day he planned to arrive, before using aliens to accomplish his goals.

.....

In the end, how could any creature more so a human being turn out selfless for no reason? It is naive for anyone to think this and even Wang did not believe this the moment he stepped into this place and saw the neutron star, he had his mind running wild. From the knowledge of his previous life, a neutron star was terrifying and the temperature around it went as close to 2 million degrees celsius this in itself is scary as powerhouses in heaven and man would just die being exposed to such a temperature. But the realms beyond that could manage to survive, but this neutron star seemed to have hundreds of times the same properties as the one from his previous life.

This neutron star seemed terrifying and from the moment he set his sight on it through the numerous dimensions, he could tell it was terrifying and dare not look at it again. It could not only be capable of burning even him into nothingness before he managed to break through the dimensional walls separating them. This in itself could explain how scary it was and the moment he saw it the heave and earth flame in his body was almost going out. It seemed scared as it had experienced this sensation and he did not bother with it as the flame was just some accessory he always carries around all this time.

Wang did not bother with the numerous thoughts that were flowing through his mind he wanted to investigate the area he was in to see if he could get any benefits, after all, it was the reason for him coming in. With this kind of thought in mind he kept moving and slowly approaching his goal, a formation rose from everywhere he stepped covering the area he stood from all directions to defend against any sneak attacks, after all, he did not have any clear information to work with here. His life was also on the line as such he could only continue to explore with caution and the most important thing he had to do in the entire process was to ensure he walked out alive in the end. Everything else could be overlooked as only when one is alive could one accomplish anything at all.

In the underground cave, he did not bring with him some kind of treasure since his decision had been an abrupt one and he was also glad nothing had happened to him yet. His actions after all were not done in accordance with the normal way of explorations in dangerous environments and he even did not inform his family about it. In this place, the level of danger could be said to be very high, and the treasures he had would be no different from toys in this place so he did not bother to lament his failure to carry one. Some of the methods necessary to stimulate a treasure in this hidden space seemed to have been deemed inapplicable and thus moving with treasures becomes nothing other than a burden.

In his possession, the sacrificial altar is the highest level of treasure he could be proud of, but it would also not have much effect here. In the end, most of the treasures would be deemed useless unless some gloves were being used as they would still exert some of the power it has in normal situations and those used for escape would also turn useless. The best example is those treasures used to escape or even protect the lives of descends to the strong. In this place, all means seemed to have been cut off and one has to use their wits then.

“How come?”
