Chapter 535: Chapter 534: Shrouded in Mystery, The Unknown City

In the hidden city, it’s very likely that a civilization long since vanished is contained, or rather...

A temporal rift?

The more he used the Sky-splitting Gem, the more Lu Zixun himself came to a deeper understanding of time.

The so-called temporal rift, put simply, is a parallel world.

Yet this parallel world doesn’t seem like a reflection of human society?

Or perhaps it’s not a temporal rift at all.

Instead, it could be a civilization that perished in the river of time before humankind could even discover and record it.

Maybe it was one of these two possibilities, but Lu Zixun didn’t delve too far.

It was the sudden discovery of a uniquely human architectural structure that set his thoughts racing.

An abandoned building, but from the outside, in comparison to an intact hotel, appeared before the team members.

Due to the urgency of time, the team members stopped looking and directly entered the hotel.

The green plants by the entrance had long wilted.

The sofa placed in the lobby was in disarray, possibly due to some chaos, thrown about haphazardly.

Upon closer inspection, one could even see dried black blood on the sofa.

"What happened here?"

Wang Qing frowned displeasingly as she surveyed the chaotic lobby and pinched her nose.

"And they say your nose is fake."

After the quip, Feng Yiyang saw Wang Qing about to raise her hand in objection and quickly cleared his throat, saying, "From the scene, we can see it was chaotic, and only a disaster could provoke such panic among humans... let’s assume they were humans."

"Like a fire or something?"

Zhang Tianyue asked subconsciously, following Feng Yiyang’s analysis.

"Bingo."

Feng Yiyang snapped his fingers, "Congratulations, you got the bonus question right."

Upon reaching the reception desk, Lu Zixun suddenly spoke, "It’s not just a disaster; it might also be some foolish acts that summoned some terrifying entity."

He reached for the leave note placed at the front desk.

He dusted off the accumulated layer of dust, smiled smugly after reading the words... even uglier than his handwriting.

The reason for leave simply read: "To receive an infusion of Spiritual Energy, to become a Moon Watcher."

Seeing this leave note, Feng Yiyang felt a sense of absurdity.

Any Spiritual Ability User knew that Spiritual Energy came through personal cultivation, and forcibly infusing Spiritual Energy into a Spiritual Ability User could cause them to explode, even if it was the same type of energy.

Because your Spiritual Energy Acupoint simply couldn’t withstand such a tremendous amount of external Spiritual Energy.

And the energy from outside was more agitated, nowhere near as gentle as one’s own assimilation.

"Hasn’t the infusion of Spiritual Energy been declared a forbidden art?"

Shen Yue, who knew quite a bit about history, had a look of astonishment on her face.

In the history of Crimson Land, the initial speed of cultivating Spiritual Energy was infuriatingly slow.

Consequently, some resorted to unorthodox methods, and the infusion of Spiritual Energy was among them.

Spiritual Ability Users who received an outside infusion of Spiritual Energy exploded if they received too much, and if they received too little, their Spiritual Energy Acupoint would rupture, leaving them unable to break through for the rest of their life.

Lu Zixun looked thoughtful as he listened with interest to Shen Yue recounting this bit of history; clearly, from the leave note, the infusion of Spiritual Energy in this world wasn’t unorthodox but rather seemed like a method to enhance abilities.

He also noticed some details on the leave note—the three words "Moon Watcher" on it were written with extra care compared to the rest.

This showed that those words had a different standing in the hearts of these people.

However, what puzzled Lu Zixun was how the name "Moon Watcher" here had become some kind of occupation?

Or, perhaps the so-called infusion of Spiritual Energy was just to confer a surname?

Feeling somewhat headache-stricken with this, Lu Zixun decided to put the matter aside for now.

The most urgent priority was to find a room that would offer a safe haven for the night.

Considering the unpredictability of the Shadows, the team members decided to stay on the third floor of the hotel so they could escape through the windows in case of any accidents.

A fall from the third floor wasn’t enough to kill a Spiritual Ability User.

After Feng Yiyang cut open the wall between rooms 325 and 326, using his Spiritual Energy to remove the wall from the room, he sighed while looking out at the city obscured from daylight, "We should cover the windows with something, otherwise the light from the Spiritual Ability Lamp is too glaring."

Li Dazhu approached the window and with a clap of his hands, a wall of earth rose from the ground.

Covering up all the windows, Lin Siyin etched a Defensive Array.

A temporary safe haven was thus established.

"I’m going to check the other rooms."

While the team was preparing dinner, Lu Zixun left the room.

The other rooms might contain relevant documents.

But, unfortunately, after searching several rooms, Lu Zixun found no useful information about this world; instead, he found some photos that were barely recognizable.

Just as Lu Zixun was about to finish searching room 610 and head back, the pained cries of Shadows and the roars of unknown creatures rang out from the city—the night had arrived.

The Spiritual Energy detection, initially unable to locate the Shadows, now seemed to have regained its function.

Lu Zixun could sense that around the hotel, there were at least a thousand Shadows present, including no small number of J-level Shadows.

Fortunately, these Shadows had no intention of entering the building, relieving Lu Zixun—he’d narrowly escaped major trouble.

The restored Spiritual Energy detection not only found Shadows but also something hidden in room 612.

Lu Zixun felt somewhat fortunate; it was timely darkness, or else he would’ve missed it.

Silently entering room 612, in a secret compartment in the wardrobe, he found some paper documents.

Because they were in a hidden compartment, these documents were quite well-preserved.

The text and images documented on them were clear to make out.

"Everything is already too late, what the Heavenly God bestowed was not a blessing, but a curse."

"This is not the evolution of humankind, but a disaster for humankind."

"We are the sinners of humanity."

The words overflowed with despair.

Lu Zixun’s expression turned odd; there truly had been human beings here, who had developed a respective civilization,

So how did they manage to extinguish themselves?

Lu Zixun looked at the photographs, fighting the urge to furrow his brows.

A young man sat cross-legged on an altar, with researchers taking notes by his side, surrounded by incomprehensible machinery and armed guards.

After an unknown period, in the second photograph, the young man stood up excitedly with a writhing black Shadow appearing in his hand.

Compared to the young man’s excitement, the researchers looked tense.

The armed guards had their guns raised, the barrels pointed at the young man.
