Chapter 1921: Chapter 1917: There’s Still Another Layer
"I think so too, but what should we do now?"
Zi Yuan looked up uncertainly at Murong Xue: "The opponent is powerful. To resolve this, a One-star Martial General probably won’t suffice!"
"Then let Yue Ming and Caixia go."
Murong Xue squinted her eyes and coldly looked out the window: "With two Two-star Martial Artists stepping in, it’s enough to deal with those ignorant youngsters."
"Understood."
Zi Yuan instantly rejoiced, Yue Ming and Caixia were a couple, and both were Two-star Martial Generals.
In Rainbow Cloud Peak, the hierarchy is strict. Among those who emerged, Murong Xue’s strength is the strongest, as a Three-star Martial General, followed by Yue Ming and Caixia, the two Two-star Martial Artists.
The sect has other stronger individuals and numerous Two and Three-star Martial Generals, though once they reach such realms, most choose to retreat for cultivation.
Until the sect’s survival is threatened, they rarely appear, leaving a Three-star Martial General and two Two-star Martial Generals stationed in the sect just to maintain daily operations and management.
"Sect Leader, since Yue Ming and Caixia take action, they will surely defeat Tang Ming and the others, but how should we deal with Tang Ming? Please, Sect Leader, instruct us."
Zi Yuan rose nervously and asked Murong Xue.
"Isn’t it obvious? Kill them."
Murong Xue’s eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Wei’er is crucial to Rainbow Cloud Peak. With her Bright Moon Body cultivation, surpassing me is only a matter of time. I’ve already considered her the future Sect Leader of Rainbow Cloud Peak. How can I let an ordinary person hinder her bright future?"
"Understood."
Upon hearing this, Zi Yuan nodded vigorously.
"Go now, and make sure these matters don’t disturb Wei’er, or it will be troublesome."
Murong Xue waved her hand to indicate Zi Yuan to leave.
In the lower level of the Medical Tower, Tang Ming and his group stood on the courtyard where the Ancient Poison Crystal Core was previously stored, discussing with interest around the disk that housed the Ancient Poison Crystal Core.
"Is this what you call a discovery?"
Tang Ming asked Lin Canghai uncertainly, "It looks eerie, but doesn’t seem special, right?"
"These patterns..."
Meng Xianjun stroked his chin and wiped the intricate patterns on the disk.
"Old Meng, do you know what this is?"
Tang Ming quickly looked at Meng Xianjun.
"Not really, but it feels familiar, though I can’t quite pinpoint why?"
Meng Xianjun shook his head.
"I don’t know either, if the Heavenly Mechanism Sect were here, they might decipher what these patterns mean."
Zhang Chuming sighed regretfully.
"Previously, when we focused on the Ancient Poison Crystal Core, nobody paid attention to these patterns at all."
Tang Ming shrugged, speculating uncertainly: "Maybe it’s just the handiwork of whoever stored the Ancient Poison Crystal Core here, something flashy. Look, even those pillars are full of carvings, but nothing looks particularly significant."
"If it were just that, I wouldn’t have made such a fuss, making you come over to check."
Lin Canghai rolled his eyes and pointed above: "Look up."
Tang Ming and others looked up in confusion, discovering that directly above the disk on the ceiling was a piece carved with identical patterns, mirroring the disk below, just slightly larger.
"This..."
Tang Ming and others stared at each other in amazement.
"Not only that, I’ve had someone check, and each layer of this tower corresponds with these patterns, getting larger as you ascend, with each layer configuring space directly above the disk, which is highly unusual."
Lin Canghai frowned, looking upward, "More strangely, the top of the Medical Tower has the largest complete disk pattern, like a magnifying glass, where the lower the tower, the larger the patterns become."
"Do you understand?"
Tang Ming looked at Zhang Chuming and Meng Xianjun in confusion.
The group all shook their heads simultaneously.
"Put it simply; do you know the principle of sound waves? Starting from the source, gradually spreading outward, the patterns in the entire Medical Tower follow this principle, and the ’sound source’ might be below this object."
Lin Canghai explained while wielding a hammer to strike the disk: "Listen."
"Boom!"
After a dull sound, Tang Ming and others listening attentively changed their expressions slightly.
"There’s another layer."
The group anxiously speculated, knowing from the sound alone that there was something beneath the disk.
"Exactly! This is what I find strange."
Lin Canghai nodded repeatedly.
"Damn it, I didn’t expect there to be hidden secrets beneath the Ancient Poison Crystal Core."
Tang Ming became excited: "The folks at Rainbow Cloud Peak are so nervous about this place; if it’s not colluding with the Netherworld Road, then it surely has something to do with what’s below."
"Quite possibly! Anything making Rainbow Cloud Peak so tense must be extraordinary. I’m utterly curious about what’s inside!"
Meng Xianjun eagerly stared at the disk.
"Have you found the entrance to the next level?"
Tang Ming looked toward Lin Canghai.
"No! We’ve searched every corner of this space and haven’t found any entrance to the next level."
Lin Canghai shook his head helplessly, "I suspect this disk might be the entrance, but we can’t open it!"
At this moment, many floodlights lit up the entire floor like daylight, clearly exposing everything without finding any downward entrance.
"Let me try."
Zhang Chuming raised his hand to condense a mass of dark energy, pressing it onto the disk: "Let me see if I can use Soul Power to explore what’s below."
A few minutes later, Zhang Chuming’s face changed as he quickly withdrew his hand.
"How is it? What’s below?"
Tang Ming and others stared at Zhang Chuming, eager to know.
"I couldn’t probe below; this place has defensive measures preventing Soul Power penetration."
Zhang Chuming’s brows furrowed as he touched the disk, "What is going on here? Being able to block soul probing is incredible!"
"Actually, it’s not surprising. Without certain peculiarities, with the cultivation of those of us here before, the additional layer beneath should have been discovered long ago."
Tang Ming sighed regretfully.
"Why so troublesome? If that’s the case, let’s just smash it open."
Sun Zhuangjia standing nearby couldn’t take it anymore, "Stand aside; I’ll blast it apart."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ming and others quickly backed away, while Sun Zhuangjia gathered power into his fist and struck the disk fiercely.
"Boom!"
"Ah!"
With a loud bang, Sun Zhuangjia let out a miserable cry, flying backward and crashing heavily onto the ground.
