Xianxia: Why am I here?

251 Hidden Opportunity

When Wang moved closer, he discovered a cave that seemed to have a naturally formed field around it. He took some effort to manage to walk in.

In the beginning, he could see the sun but after stepping into the cave, his perception of the outside seemed to be isolated. The place seemed dim with some breezes that made Wang whose physique was actually trained to a high level feel cold.

In this place, he could only see a cluster of whiteness in every direction, as he walked into the cave he was very cautious in the heart. Even though he did not detect any danger he continued to run some of his exercises secretly ready to launch an attack when necessary.

Looking around this place he already had some possibility in his mind about why the old man seemed so reluctant to leave the city. This place could perhaps have something that the old man treated are rare to the point that he was willing to risk his life for it. Thinking of this, he continued forward as he was more interested in seeing what it actually was.

But when he tried to perceive the situation in this place using his mind power, to his surprise he discovered it did not work. Not only that but rather even other means such as soul and consciousness seemed to fail to perceive beyond his body.

In this way, this was indeed something new and even with the caution in his heart he did not retreat at all but kept moving.

To him, this was not a matter of retreating when he wanted even without trying as he assumed that the opportunity that could make the old man risk his life is something life-transforming, in that way he had no choice but to take the risk.

Although he is always cautious, it does not mean that when some opportunities he seems to think he can obtain will be abandoned. In this case, the cave seemed unique, and even if he could not attain the opportunity he was curious about this ability to make perception invalid. If he could learn something from it then even his formations might indeed evolve.

He did not seem to have come up with the illusion of instantly gaining a big opportunity but rather even something minimal could be useful as long as it assisted him in the way of formations, but after moving for some time he seemed to have realized something. This place was so big just like some hidden space. But having thought about the field the moment he found the cave, it was actually possible and if the old man had hidden in this place probably the couple would have left already without even finding him.

.....

In the end, his actions of being stubborn and not retreating even when he was seriously injured made him even more careful in searching before it was discovered.

In his path to cultivation, he has actually taken risks, but he seemed to have yet to realize that his actions sometimes do not match someone with a cautious personality at all, in this way it can be said that even the move he just made now of entering this cave is considered reckless in the words of a cautious person.

Well, he can’t be blamed as in the world of martial arts people are taking risks daily trying to get themselves opportunities and wealth even by visiting places they know to be dangerous. Compared to this place he had no idea about, then he is considered to be playing in easy mode.

Wang did not stop at all because he found that he could not perceive the further distance rather he kept moving, and when the desolation pupil was opened, he actually felt it again.

Some unique force seemed to be attracted from the outside world and fused with his eyes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In this way, the effects of having such a pupil technique did not seem to appear at all, but he realized that the substance was immense. In this way, the speed of absorption allowed his desolation eyes to become even more grey and at the same time, he could see some unique forces in different colors seemingly everywhere. The gray substance was absorbed into his eyes, but the other substances seemed to each have some unique features.

At the same, he felt that his eyes could hold on for less than an hour, but he still cut off the use. He thought it was best to use it in the mode of emergency. This place was already a very big unknown and he did not wish to remain defenseless in the end, he might seem to be taking dangerous risks and unnecessary risks like this can end up costing his life. In the end, he did not tell his wife about this and just informed her to wait longer for him.

In previous adventures even where the world array is located he could only feel that some killing intent could materialize for using one’s perception in the area, except for mind power. But the place still could not manage to suppress all perceptions especially mind power, and yet in this cave, he almost had returned to the time when he was a mortal.

Even though the formations beyond the river had the ability to destroy even souls and try to spy on them without enough power, that seemed more like inferior to this place. His inability to even mobilize all these perception methods he had taken some time to study, indicated a certain level of restriction that had even surpassed the power of heaven and earth.

Wang had no idea what it was and did not try to at this moment since he could not get in contact with this thing yet. In that way, it was better to move around and check out what was so special about this place.

Since opportunity in this place could not be taken out or away, he had to think of some means to deal with this situation, in the end, Since he had lost most of his abilities, he seemed to have not realized that the chance could be anywhere. He did not know what the old man had gotten when he entered this place and the transformation he made, so searching was hard.

Wang wanted to find a way to seal out perception and even if did not manage to gain something else, he would not have many complaints about things. In the end, that could be very useful to him compared to other gains but what reacted to his situation was bitter cold.

He had not experienced this feeling of being weak and even vulnerable before cold, thus it kept him in a daze. This might be a one-time chance or not but he did not expect it to bring up some memories from his past life.

Since it would take some time to make any progress in other aspects, except for his cultivation, he was certain that other aspects would require a lot of time for him to continue improving. In this way, he spends most of his time comprehending the world array. But the number of laws included on the world array is also considered a lot and he has comprehended most of the reason he had yet to advance is simple, he used the divine ability to set the foundation of law. He referred to them as supernatural powers, which he seemed to still agree was the best name for them.

At the moment he seemed to hear some kind of wailing of ghosts that kept affecting his mind, soul, and consciousness. The more distance he covered the louder the wailing got and yet it did not affect him at all.

“Was it an illusion or something?” He actually did not feel that the sounds were soul attacks because they were too weak.

Even though he did not understand, he become very cautious. But the wailing did not stop, he only felt as though the wailing was coming from all around him, and with the increased intensity he saw some slight change occurring in its power.

Fortunately, he was not that far from the end of this space after traveling for almost more than half a day. He occasionally used his desolation eye and could see a huge area beyond him with some kind of wall, he assumed that might be the end, but he was wrong, his free movement seemed to be no different from when a fish swims in water. In the end, he seemed to have discovered some huge wall and since it was far he could not see exactly what it looked like he set his destination towards it.

Fortunately, the distance as far as it was could be covered in a few hours. But Wang did not even frown as the existence of this tablet might be his goal in the end., But he kept his calm and moved according to the previous pace. He did not rush or slow down.

Suddenly, the entire place became silent and even the sound of wailing seemed to have been cut off by something.
