Lin Mu was astounded upon his current location as it seed quite opulent.
He was sure that he had never been to a place like this and never heard of one either.
"Is this a vault?" Lin Mu guessed as it seed quite likely with the kind of wealth that was scattered around.
There was at least a few tons of Immortal Gold in the room, along with immortal gems that would similarly be worth a lot. Along with this, there was of course, books and docunts that probably contained cultivation techniques and skills that could be priceless.
They were also what caught Lin Mu's attention the most.
"Let's take a look…" Lin Mu muttered and picked up one such book
~clack~
The tal clasp on it was opened by Lin Mu and its contents were revealed.
But when Lin Mu glanced at it, all the letters disappeared and beca blank.
"Huh? Why's it empty?" He was confused.
Lin Mu closed the book and opened it again, but found no change. It was clear that it would not present its content to him.
"Perhaps another book?" Lin Mu wondered and picked up a second book.
This ti he was alert and focused on everything that might appear in his field of vision. ~Clack~
Similar to before, this book also had a tal clasp holding it close and Lin Mu opened it with ease.
~shua~
And when he did, he saw thousands of runes swimming on the pages and disappearing into the edges, leaving the entire book blank. It was certainly very surprising and left Lin Mu with little to think about.
"Is this because I'm in a dream?" Lin Mu wondered.
He checked several other books and docunts, but they all ended up being the sa. As soon as he made contact with them, all the information contained within them would either scatter or disappear. It would leave them unless and Lin Mu could get no information from them all.
Realizing his failure, Lin Mu reckoned that he had to focus on other things to figure out where he was.
As such, he started to look at the room in detail, observing each pattern and design that was present in the hall.
While doing this, he confird the fact that he was in so kind of a Storage hall or Vault. He figured this out due to a particular design that was present in multiple places in the hall.
"What's this?" Lin Mu narrowed his eyes and looks at a peculiar design on the wall. It was carved into the wall and inlaid with gold. But due to the sheer amount of treasure and items that were present in the hall, it was hard to even see it.
In fact, Lin Mu had to move entire shelves to fully see what was hidden behind them. And when he did, he was a bit surprised.
"I don't think I've seen this ever before." Lin Mu muttered as he gazed at the pattern.
It was that of a polyhedral jewel that had two curling horns attached to it. The horns themselves were a pale white in color and had sharp points that looked like they could easily pierce through flesh.
"Hmm… it's on all walls." Lin Mu verified as he checked all the walls in the room. The polyhedral jewel was carved in each of the walls, the only difference was that it was hard to see for the most part. At the very least, it did not seem like it was being given much of an importance now. Of course, Lin Mu didn't know how accurate he was, but hoped that there was more to it. At least it seed like it was substantial since it was on each of the wall.
'It should be a clue as to what this place is…' Lin Mu thought to it.
Lin Mu looked at it closely and tried to compare it with all the other symbols and crests in his mory.
But no matter how much he tried, he couldn't match it with anything. Among the many symbols and crests he had seen in docunts and books, along with the moirs of the Lost Immortal, none of them seed to match it.
'What is this?' Lin Mu racked his brain.
He sat down on a large chest and crossed his legs, intending to figure it out this ti. He reckoned since he was in a dream, he had all the ti in the world. After all, if it was the end of the dream, he would wake up eventually. He literally had nothing else left to do.
While doing this, Lin Mu realized that he could clearly recall each book that he had read. ~shua~
"Huh… they materialize…" Lin Mu saw a book appear in his hands.
It was the sa book that he had thought about. "Guess this confirms I'm in a dream… the books I haven't seen which are here, show no information and the ones I have read but aren't present, appear." Lin Mu understood.
As such, he flipped through the books one by one, taking his ti. He probably went through a few hundred books in who knows how much ti before finally finding sothing.
"Oh? These horns…" Lin Mu finally found a clue.
The jewel in the symbol seed to be relatively common, but the way the horns were made was peculiar. It had a unique curling shape with detailed marks that matched the symbol on the book that Lin Mu had opened in his lap.
"Calamity Ruin Beast… A beast known to appear upon the destruction of worlds… a harbinger of confird doom and utter end." Lin Mu read the words, making him narrow his brows.
They were concerning words and didn't seem like they would should be taken lightly. And yet, the sa horns from the Calamity Ruin Beast were present in this hall in his dreams.
"Why is this symbol here, though? Which power would think of using it?" Lin Mu wondered.
