I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

The first thing I noticed when I flipped over was the change in the wind.

The breath rising from below was enveloped in a layer of warmth.

Lu Yuan's ten fingers gripped the silk thread, and with the power of the Blue Knight's extraordinary weapon, the two of them slid down the wall quickly.

The marching lamp hung at his waist, the flame inside the copper lampshade suppressed by that aura to only the size of a finger, barely illuminating a small patch of rock half a step away, serving almost no lighting purpose.

The further down you go, the more steep the cliff face becomes, initially almost vertical.

The points of leverage for the silk threads became increasingly difficult to find, and the protruding rock fissures on the sloping wall became fewer.

Fortunately, the Blue Knight's silk threads were extremely strong. Lu Yuan used the wall as leverage to descend, and his speed not only did not decrease, but actually increased.

At the same time, the rotating, eerie inscriptions on the surrounding walls were more than twice as dense as those above.

The concentric arcs squeezed together, merging into a larger mass, some even forming a continuous expanse, almost covering every inch of the cliff face visible in the field of vision.

Thousands upon thousands of arcs surged in from all directions, and from a certain angle, the whole world seemed to spin along with them.

Lu Yuan shifted his gaze from the inscriptions, focusing only on his hands and feet.

Protected by the Blue Knight's extraordinary weapon, these things still couldn't affect him; it just made his eyes a little uncomfortable when he looked directly at them.

At the edge of my line of sight, the gray and white text kept jumping as I descended.

[Advanced - Mysterious Inscription: +1...25.5/50]

[A forbidden aura detected. Please move away immediately.]

[Forbidden Studies - Seeker of Knowledge: +1...81.9/100]

[Advanced - Mysterious Inscription: +1...26.5/50]

The only good news was that a large amount of experience points kept appearing before my eyes.

As for the warning to stay away, Lu Yuan ignored it completely.

As they continued deeper, the golden light, tinged with black mist, grew increasingly intense, seeping out from the cracks in the cliff face, illuminating a small area nearby in clusters.

The light was enveloped in a highly contradictory aura, a mixture of warmth and malice, making it difficult to discern which was which.

The journey was very quiet, with only the soft rustling of silk threads against the cliff face.

Lu Yuan and the Blue Knight were both wrapped up tightly.

Lu Yuan suddenly spoke.

"Blue Knight, why did you have to come down? There's not much to see down there."

The Blue Knight's voice came from behind, sounding somewhat muffled through the silk thread.

"That's not something you need to know."

Lu Yuan moved the silk thread to the left, stepped on a protruding rock, and slid down a bit further.

She didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't, and he wasn't going to ask any more questions.

After a while, he seemed to suddenly remember something. "Does your Knight Academy have a single knight who knows how to use timekeeping?"

The Blue Knight seemed to be looking at something, and after a moment spoke. "Yes. How did you know?"

"Klaus mentioned it before," Lu Yuan explained. "He also said he wanted me to study at the Knight Academy for a while. How does that knight operate? Is it the same as mine?"

"Completely different from you." The Blue Knight paused, "I can't tell you exactly how they're different. If you really plan to go to the Knight Academy, you'll have to see for yourself."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

There are only three uses for timekeeping: acceleration, stasis, and deprivation. What other different uses could there be?

Could there be a fourth type that he hadn't seen before? He suppressed this thought and didn't ask any further questions.

If you have time, just go to the Knight Academy.

The silk thread scraped against the cliff face, making a series of short, sharp sounds, and the two of them increased their speed even further.

Lu Yuan had no idea how deep he had gone.

Time is hard to estimate in this darkness; all that is known is that the gray and white text appears more and more frequently, and the golden light underfoot grows brighter and brighter from its original dimness.

After a while, the cliff face beneath their feet suddenly changed material. The original cross-section, which was a mixture of rock and bronze, disappeared and was replaced by large swathes of bronze.

Lu Yuan was already close to the vanished bronze wall.

He slowed down, and with the Blue Knight hanging like a spider on the cliff face, looked down by the dim light of the marching lanterns and the golden light reflected from below.

The copper wall below was completely different from what he remembered.

When I last visited, the copper walls were as smooth as a mirror, and the inscriptions were arranged in a precise manner.

The thing is now pitted and cracked, with large pieces of bronze sticking up as if it had been squeezed open from the inside, revealing a strangely colored cross-section underneath.

Golden light spilled out from the cracks and gaps, not dazzling, but flowing down the cliff face and sticking to it as if it were a solid entity.

The copper wall is still sinking.

The persistent tremor beneath my feet was clear; the entire wall was slowly and relentlessly falling deeper into the ground.

Lu Yuan frowned as he looked at the copper wall riddled with holes.

Of course he knew what was sealed inside the wall. When he touched the bronze pillar at the bottom of the abyss, a crown appeared in the inscription. It was a golden crown with seven points, each point inlaid with a glass gemstone, hanging there quietly. It must have been the object that the creator sealed into the bronze wall.

The crown in the picture is just an object, and it shouldn't have its own consciousness.

But how did the bronze wall end up like this, as if something inside had broken free?

Could it be that during its long period of sealing, it was eroded by the flesh and blood beneath it and developed its own consciousness?

Lu Yuan's heart tightened.

His main purpose in coming down here was to find the fifth fragment, to confirm whether that fragment was inside this copper wall.

The forbidden aura was so strong that the connection between the fragments was almost completely severed, and he couldn't sense anything.

The only way to confirm this right now is to touch it.

Lu Yuan had no choice but to grit his teeth and manipulate the silk threads, guiding the Blue Knight downwards little by little.

The bronze wall wasn't sinking very fast, and the two quickly caught up.

He didn't touch it immediately; instead, he untied the silk thread wrapped around his right hand, revealing his entire hand.

He glanced back at the Blue Knight. "If anything happens to me later, take me away immediately."

The Blue Knight's gaze lingered on his bare hands for a moment, then he nodded. "No problem."

She didn't ask Lu Yuan why he insisted on touching the bronze wall.

She had heard that Lu Yuan's method seemed to allow him to see strange things, but it seemed that he could only see that information by touching the objects himself.

The Blue Knight thought to himself.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, stretched out his right hand, and his fingertips touched the copper wall.

The expected shock did not come.

When your palm touches the bronze, there is only a faint warmth, an indescribable sense of intimacy, as if there is something familiar and gentle on the other side of the bronze wall.

This feeling struck Lu Yuan as odd. It was strange to describe a city wall with gentleness, yet such emotions did indeed arise in his heart.

Lu Yuan didn't understand, but he knew that now was not the time to dwell on it.

He needs to confirm whether there is a fifth fragment below.

So he tried to connect the other four pieces on his body and tried his best to reach towards the fifth piece.

As expected, the response he hoped for did not materialize.

The fifth fragment is clearly not here either.

Lu Yuan's heart sank; this thing was most likely unrelated to the bronze wall.

Just as he was about to stop, everything went black for a moment, and his consciousness seemed to be pulled out.

A new scene unfolded before my eyes.

It was a pitch-black space, with a huge, golden object suspended high in the air, its golden light illuminating the surrounding darkness.

That thing looks a lot like the sun, but it's not the sun.

Lu Yuan recognized it at a glance; it was the same crown he had seen in the bronze pillar image.

Seven sharp points, seven glass gems, a golden crown suspended in the center of darkness, radiating a gentle light.

But before he could even feel that warmth, the golden crown had already begun to mutate.

The golden light was being swallowed up by something at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a murky dark red from the edge of the corona, spreading little by little towards the center.

The seven glass gems on the seven corners also changed their appearance one by one. The seven-colored luster on the surface faded, and pupil-like patterns emerged, turning into eyes.

Six of them were fully open, their venomous gazes sweeping in all directions, each with a different movement and direction, yet all shrouded in intense malice.

Only the one in the very center remained unchanged. It was the largest, its entire body shimmering with a dreamlike colorful luster, and it remained exactly as it was, without the slightest trace of being altered.

Lu Yuan's breathing slowed down a few degrees.

He had realized that the crown had been contaminated by the flesh and blood beneath it during the long seal, the golden light was being swallowed up little by little, and the glass pearl was also gradually being mutated.

It didn't seem to be struggling to break free; rather, it was being dragged down. The contradictory aura of warmth and malice emanating from it clearly came from this.

Lu Yuan realized he was trapped in an illusion and was about to break free when the crown in the picture suddenly changed.

The central glass jewel, which had remained tightly closed, trembled slightly, its outer shell moving slowly like an eyelid.

Lu Yuan was startled and immediately realized that even the largest pearl was beginning to be corrupted.

The vibrations grew faster and faster, stirring up the dreamlike, colorful luster, and something inside the bead was awakening.

The next moment, a very fine crack appeared vertically in the center of the bead. The crack was tiny, but the colorful light shining through it was incredibly intense, bursting out in all directions.

The screen shattered at that moment.

Lu Yuan's consciousness was jolted back, and the scene before him returned to the pitch-black cliff face and the swirling, eerie inscriptions.

It was at this moment that he realized the Blue Knight behind him had become completely stiff.

The Blue Knight's hand on his shoulder gripped him tightly like an iron clamp, making him freeze into a solid mass. His legs, locked around his waist, also lost their strength and became completely stiff.

Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that the Blue Knight had also been pulled in by this thing. Clearly, at the moment he touched the copper wall, he was not the only one who was pulled into that scene.
