Chapter 2133  A New Rewards Ground

The runes in the air faded away, as the Spatial Fluctuation's intensified.

~Rumble~

And a few seconds after that, the entire dome shook before the elevated platform started to move.

"Its… Going up?" The group watched as the platform raised to a height of five meters.

It was like a pillar now and several patterns could be seen on its curved sides. If one observed them closely, they would realize that these were none other than arrays for a Teleportation Array!

~HUALA~

Under Lin Mu's observations, all the runes activated as a gate finally opened up on the side of the pillar.

"This should be the way ahead." Crown Prince Feng Shun spoke.

"Indeed." Lin Mu nodded as he observed it with his Spatial Perception.

He could see that a new teleportation channel had been established which wasn't there earlier. Following along the channel, Lin Mu could vaguely tell that the channel did not branch out after this. "Hopefully we'll be together in the next trial too." Daoist Chu spoke.

"I think we'll be together." Lin Mu said before taking the lead and stepping in.

~SHUA~

His figure disappeared in the gate before others followed behind.

One by one, the nine companions all entered the gate and arrived in the teleportation channel, their bodies turning weightless. Lin Mu was present with them too and was taking this brief opportunity to observe the internal arrays of the inheritance grounds better.

'They are a bit easier to observe from inside the teleportation channel, but they are still quite spread out to put together.' Lin Mu thought to himself as he watched the arrays.

~Humm~

He then felt a change in the spatial fluctuations, that became more frequent. This made him look towards the direction that he was heading to and found it to be quite close. But when he tried to look past it, to get a peek at their destination all he saw was a vast expanse of what could only be called as an iridescent mist!

"What is this…" Before Lin Mu could finish his words, he had reached the end of the teleportation channel, his vision turning blank.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

He was ejected out of the channel along with others, and found himself standing on a solid surface. A couple of seconds later when his vision returned, Lin Mu was gazing at the ground, which looked a bit similar. "A Teleportation Circle." Lin Mu quickly determined before looking up. "Huh?" And when he did, he was surprised.

Instead of the Iridescent Mist he had seen earlier, what was in front of him was a corporeal place.

There were shelves upon shelves stacked on top of each other wherever one's eyes went. The shelves were more than a hundred meters in length and seemed to be curved, rather than being straight. And when Lin Mu followed them, he found that the shelves were located around him in a circular manner.

"A Library?" Ziran's voice was heard.

"That's good, no trial." Crown Princess Shang spoke.

"Looks like we are in the next reward grounds." Lady Kang stated, looking at the vast library.

"You all should look back," Daoist Chu asked, slight confusion in his voice.

The others turned and saw that there was a pillar behind them. It was similar to the pillar they had just taken to arrive here, but it was a lot bigger. Not just that, but the patterns on the pillar were different, too.

But the most eye catching part was that it had ten niches present on its sides. Each of the niches was about thirty centimeters wide and was arched. The arches were rather plain, but seemed to be made out of pure white marble.

And above these ten niches, one could see five grey crystals each. The crystals seemed to be firmly embedded and there were runes around them too that were a little too small to read from this distance. But if one looked closely, they would find that these runes were part of a bigger formation that was built into the body of the pillar.

It would be almost impossible for one to read these just from the surface and would need Immortal sense to probe the depths of the pillar for more.

The group had understood by now that the trials were more complex than they seemed, and the same could be said for the reward grounds. As such, the first thing they needed to do was to gather information about their surroundings.

And what better place to start with, other than the eye catching pillar?

~SHUA~

As such, all of them used their immortal senses and probes the pillar, finding out more about it.

Lin Mu sensed that the pillar was made out of the same kind of rock that the rest of the trial's areas were made from. But this pillar also had additions to it in the form of marble niches that had been embedded later on.

'There're connections made though runes between the niches and the pillar. The array expanded further into the ground, but I can't sense any Qi flowing in the circuits.' Lin Mu analyzed it. "Looks like this might be our exit from here too." He said after having understood a few more things about it.

"Our exit?" Monk Hushu asked.

"The circles on the ground are all teleportation circles, though they are inactive right now," Lin Mu answered. "I can also sense the formations linking these circles with the niches on the pillar. There are ten niches and ten of us… it is quite obviously meant for us to interact with." He added.

"It does seem like it," Lady Kang agreed before turning to the many shelves that were present around them. "And those jade slips probably have something to do with the niches too." She guessed.

The others looked at the shelves that were neatly stacked with the jade slips and found it likely. "Ah! I've known what this place is." Ziran recalled something. "We're meant to pick out our rewards here!
