Chapter 330 [The World of Mortals?]

Chen Yan widened his eyes at the old man.

Well, is this guy insane?

Daring to loudly curse the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao as bullshit in the Domain Realm...

However, when he mentioned the "cage", it caused a slight sinking feeling in Chen Yan’s heart, making him ponder.

Fortunately, the old madman had no intention of having a deep conversation with Chen Yan, nor did he demand Chen Yan’s agreement. After cursing a few more times to himself, he stopped speaking, slowly got up from the windowsill, and walked away around Chen Yan, heading into the building.

"Senior, wait a moment," Chen Yan sighed helplessly, "I..."

"I don’t care who you are," the old man stopped and turned his head to look at Chen Yan. His aged face was indifferent, his gaze cold and stern, his tone icy.

Suppressing the irritation in his heart, Chen Yan slowly said, "The East Sea brought me here, and I’m here..."

"Do whatever you want while you’re here," the old man interrupted Chen Yan, waving his hand quickly, "as long as you don’t burn down or demolish the building, do as you please."

Chen Yan: "..."

The old man glanced at Chen Yan again and then turned away.

He entered the building, turned around a cabinet, pulled open a door on the wall, stepped in, and closed it heavily.

Chen Yan sighed.

Forget it, there’s no point in trying to communicate properly with an eccentric old madman.

Since he had already come here, Chen Yan was not in a hurry.

After the crazy old man left, Chen Yan instead calmed down and began to examine the stone tower closely.

·

From the outside, this stone tower didn’t seem to cover much ground, nor was it very tall. But upon entering, the interior space was quite spacious.

There was over a thousand square meters of interior space, and to Chen Yan’s surprise, there was only one floor inside.

The ceiling height was over five or six meters.

The walls on all sides, the floor beneath his feet, and the ceiling overhead were all made of black rock.

Due to the high ceiling, it felt very lofty and open.

In the space of over a hundred square meters ahead, there were rows upon rows of cabinets, all carved from black rock.

Perhaps because the room was filled with stone furnishings and cabinets, the air felt somewhat cold and damp.

All the cabinets extended from the floor almost up to the ceiling, seemingly over five meters high.

The cabinets were divided into shelves like those in a library, with each shelf containing rows upon rows of...

Well, they could be considered books?

Chen Yan walked over to a stone cabinet and looked at the items on it.

The layer was neatly stacked with stone slabs.

Each slab was the thickness of a book, cut into a rectangular shape, and when Chen Yan picked it up, it was densely engraved with writing.

Unfortunately, Chen Yan couldn’t understand these characters. Their convoluted shapes were reminiscent of oracle bone script. Of course, it wasn’t the oracle bone script of the world Chen Yan knew, but regardless, this script appeared to Chen Yan as if he were deciphering the Celestial Book.

After flipping through a few casually, he put the stone slab back on the shelf.

Then he walked along the row of stone shelves, randomly pulling out a few stone slabs to read. Upon discovering that the writing was incomprehensible to him, Chen Yan simply gave up.

He began to inspect other stone cabinets and shelves.

In this level, there were over forty rows of stone cabinets, most of which contained inscribed stone slabs.

However, it wasn’t without discovery for Chen Yan. He found a row of stone cabinets not made into shelves, but in a drawer-like form. Upon examining a few drawers, he found they contained some kind of animal bones.

But the bones were smoothed and also inscribed with unreadable characters.

They seemed like some kind of beast’s bones, though they might also be some sort of amphibian shell? Like tortoise shell?

Besides these inscribed items, Chen Yan also found several objects, a few pieces resembling staffs or scepters carved from stone.

There were also some containers made from animal bones, presumably for holding food or serving as drinking vessels.

Admittedly, looking at these things made Chen Yan feel as if he were wandering through a history museum.

After two or three hours, Chen Yan had roughly skimmed through all the stone cabinets. Unfortunately, he didn’t find anything recognizable to him.

All the words and patterns were incomprehensible.

After some thought, he approached the wall—apart from the main entrance, this was the only door on this level.

Judging by its position, Chen Yan suspected the door led to a separate room.

The crazy old man had entered after going through this door and hadn’t come out since, likely resting inside.

Chen Yan fixed his gaze on a round copper ring-shaped door handle, hesitated for a moment, then reached out to touch it.

Just as his fingers grasped the copper ring, preparing to pull the door open,

suddenly, an intense feeling of alertness and danger surged into his mind!

This was a sensation conveyed from the realm of Divine Sense.

Chen Yan’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately released the copper ring, retracting his hand.

Instantly, the sense of danger receded like a tide!

Yet the intense awareness of danger just moments ago had weighed upon him like a mountain, making him momentarily breathless. Even now, with his hand withdrawn, he couldn’t help but breathe slightly harder.
