One Trap After Another, Each Different from the Last
"New methods?"
Lu Changzhi looked at the system with curiosity.
Then a flash of light appeared.
The next moment, a hand appeared in Lu Changzhi's field of vision.
To be precise, it is somewhat different from the previous palm.
The five fingers have now been replaced with long whips.
A large slap and a small whip were forcibly combined together.
"Both the whip and the slap?"
Lu Changzhi couldn't help but utter a soft sound.
At the same time, a flash of light appeared in the palm and landed on the Mechanism Spirit.
Snap!
A solid sound rang out.
One lash, two different experiences.
Visibly, the light emanating from the Mechanism Spirit trembled violently.
This time, the system didn't ask any more questions.
The Mechanism Spirit did not respond further.
The two remained silent, exchanging only sounds of slapping.
Lu Changzhi watched this scene Jingjing, and couldn't help but think of two lines of dialogue.
Why don't you ask? Why don't you answer?
At this moment, the storyteller suddenly stopped.
Just as Lu Changzhi was about to speak, he saw the whip and palm suddenly strike out together, landing on the light of the Mechanism Spirit.
Brush.
A hole appeared in the light emanating from the Mechanism Spirit, visible to the naked eye.
The hand was withdrawn, but the hole was not filled with light again.
"System, what is this?"
Lu Changzhi asked.
"Rotten wood cannot be carved." The system responded, paused slightly, and then changed its tone:
"But it can enlighten one."
Lu Changzhi remained silent.
So, this enlightenment is like opening a hole.
At this moment, the system spoke up again, with a hint of disdain:
"The less intelligent and capable something is, the more stubborn it tends to be, even less so than those who rely on instinct."
As its voice faded, the voice of the Mechanism Spirit rang out:
"Breaking the rules and cheating are absolutely unacceptable, but if it's the owner, anything is allowed."
Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi blinked:
"Such a big change? System, you didn't just give it direct control, did you?"
"Reporting to Master, this is all thanks to my excellent training."
At this moment, the Mechanism Spirit drifted towards Lu Changzhi's location:
"My master instructed me to follow the rules, punish those who misbehave, and never help other cultivators. Now, I beg you, master, to do as you please."
"Um?"
Lu Changzhi's expression immediately turned strange:
"I have a feeling that you've corrupted the system?"
As they spoke, the Mechanism Spirit continued, speaking further back:
"I know where my master has placed the inheritance. Please allow me to clear the way for him, ensuring a smooth passage."
Lu Changzhi's eyes lit up immediately:
"Walk."
All of the above is just fluff; this is the real deal.
At that moment, with a thought, Lu Changzhi took the Mechanism Spirit out of the System Space.
"Master, please stay close to me."
Mechanism Spirit spoke, it drifted forward.
Lu Changzhi did not rush to set off, but instead used his voice to summon Mu Fan.
Brush.
A moment later, Mu Fan, dressed in a black cloak, darted over like Dahei rat.
His gaze fell on the light emanating from the Mechanism Spirit, and he said:
"Master, what is this?"
Lu Changzhi smiled slightly and said:
"It has decided to lead the way for us."
"Such a big change?" Mu Fan's voice was slightly surprised:
"They were our sworn enemies before, but it seems Master's methods are just too powerful."
Lu Changzhi smiled without saying a word, then stood up and stepped forward.
Mu Fan quickly followed.
Afterwards, guided by the Mechanism Spirit, the two continued to head towards the center of the Mechanism Holy Island.
The Mechanism Holy Island wasn't small, but under the protection of the Mechanism Spirit, compared to the others who were walking on thin ice, encountering mechanisms every few steps, the two of them could almost fly.
Soon, we reached the middle position.
Lu Changzhi spread his thoughts outwards and quickly sensed a large number of mechanisms, as well as a powerful combined magical aura.
Even Saint Realm would have to be extremely careful upon arriving at this location, otherwise they would inevitably trigger nearby mechanisms and be forced to deal with them.
"This floating holy island is truly..."
Mu Fan glanced around and shook his head slightly.
It looks calm and peaceful on the surface, but it's actually full of traps. It's unbelievable.
Click, click.
The ground ahead suddenly began to move.
A staircase leading downwards extends ever deeper into the depths.
After walking for a while, we arrived at a rather spacious area.
In the center, there is a high platform, and on the platform, there is a brocade box with a keyhole-shaped groove on it, and two simple characters engraved on the side.
"Congratulations"
At this moment, the Mechanism Spirit spoke:
"Master, that's fake. It was left behind by the old master to make the fights between treasure hunters more intense. Actually, it's empty inside."
"Oh?" Lu Changzhi said, somewhat surprised.
"So where exactly is it located?"
"We need to continue."
As the Mechanism Spirit spoke, it floated to the side of the platform. A moment later, accompanied by the sound of the mechanism clicking, the platform moved to the side, revealing another path.
The two continued to follow the Mechanism Spirit downwards.
Soon, a massive, seemingly heavy door appeared in Lu Changzhi.
"Master, over here."
The Mechanism Spirit drifted to the side, stopping in an inconspicuous spot, bumping against the surface, and said:
"Please channel your spiritual power into this location, Master."
Lu Changzhi nodded and channeled his spiritual power into it.
The surging spiritual energy poured into it, feeling like a bottomless pit.
At the same time, the sounds of machinery operating could be heard from all around.
However, the massive gate in front of them showed no sign of opening.
"Master, it's ready." The Mechanism Spirit spoke, drifting back the way it had come.
"Plz follow me."
Faced with this situation, Mu Fan couldn't help but ask:
What's behind this door?
"There are traps for attacking it. The old master said that whoever opens this door will suffer greatly."
Mu Fan shook his head upon hearing this:
"You old master, this doesn't seem like you're trying to pass on your legacy."
If it weren't for our master, this would be so complicated. Not to mention whether it's even possible to find it, even if we did, it would take a huge amount of brainpower.
Lu Changzhi found it somewhat unbelievable.
One scam after another, each different, just waiting for people to get tricked.
"The old master left behind a very small portion of the legacy, supposedly to convince later practitioners."
The Mechanism Spirit responded to Mu Fan's words, saying:
"The old master said he enjoyed watching cultivators fight tooth and nail over petty gains, and even more so, he enjoyed watching them go mad for something illusory, and he enjoyed seeing those who considered themselves extraordinary and lucky caught off guard. The old master left these things, saying I would see them."
As they spoke, the two returned to the high platform.
Before anyone knew it, another passage had appeared.
Following the path downwards, Lu Changzhi soon made a surprising discovery.
They had actually reached the lowest point of the floating holy island.
Below was the same dark, massive crater created when the floating holy island appeared earlier.
