Chapter 2, Water Navigation

Some joyful celestial beings, continuously changing the incantations in their hands, caused only the central magic array to illuminate, radiating a gentle glow. A faint mist rose from the magic array, while the other arrays appeared quite dim. Even when there was an occasional flash of light, it was fleeting.

All that has happened is hard to believe. Once he digested these thoughts in his mind, he formed a hand seal according to the technique he had just mastered, and with a thought, he appeared outside the pagoda

Does the little rabbit dare to resist? Kill him for me

Looking at the clearly visible seven-layer pagoda, which only had one layer, Tianxing was not overly surprised. The information that had just been infused into his mind made him understand that what lay before him was merely a fragment.

A fragrant aroma permeated the air, and a scene reminiscent of a fairyland lay before him. Beneath his feet was a jade-like white stone floor, while above him, intricate and hazy clouds drifted. At the center of this vast space stood a massive seven-story pagoda, appearing particularly ethereal.

With joy, he changed his method of incantation, and the remnants of the tower in front of Tianxing slowly began to expand. The illusory image of the pagoda passed through Tianxing's body, and soon the space within a radius of one hundred meters solidified. Numerous magical formations appeared beneath his feet. However, most of the formations were vague, with only a few of them becoming clear and complete as Tianxing executed the incantation.

Is anyone there ... ... Is anyone there ... ... Is there ... ... '

Suddenly startled, Tianxing's five senses finally returned to normal. What should have been a dark cave was now bright and clear, with a roaring fire burning overhead. Accompanied by the crackling sounds of the burning wood, the shouts of "The water is coming!" echoed in his ears

Standing at the entrance of the construction shed, the foreman Heizi saw his subordinate crouching on the ground, covering his face and wailing in agony, which infuriated him

Tian Xing held Xiao Fei Fei close to his chest, reached out to push aside the person in front, and squeezed in.

He pinched his own leg hard, and the intense pain caused Tianxing's face to contort somewhat.

The supervisors outside were shouting and cursing, directly knocking down and dragging out those blocking the doorway to keep the passage clear. Soon, the people behind began to emerge one after another. Under the glare of the high-mounted searchlights, more than twenty supervisors, armed with clubs, nervously urged everyone on, instructing those coming out to squat down in the work shed. Anyone who moved too slowly would be struck on the head with the clubs.

He was forcefully inundated with a vast amount of information, leaving him somewhat dizzy and his body trembling uncontrollably

Get to the center and stay there! A short and stout foreman walked over, and upon seeing the two individuals squatting alone by the wall, he approached them while scolding. However, he quickly covered his nose and shouted angrily: "You little brat, you're already this big and still wetting your pants!"

The youths beside were all stunned, as the stick that had struck Tianxing's arm actually rebounded, hitting the short and stout overseer squarely in the face, causing bright red blood to burst forth from the overseer's visage

As all the mist penetrated into the body, the tower became bright and spacious. Tianxing sat cross-legged according to the requirements of the cultivation method that had been infused into his mind, organizing his chaotic thoughts

More than a hundred young boys were crammed into the shed. Tianxing protected Xiaofeifei as they hid in a corner of the shed. After crouching down, Tianxing caught a whiff of a foul odor emanating from himself. He was covered in a layer of thick, black filth for some unknown reason, which caused the surrounding boys to recoil in horror and scatter away at a distance.

Turning his head to take a look, the seven-story pagoda behind him became blurred, with only the bottom layer clearly visible, while the other parts faded into obscurity, resembling a phantom.

In a state of some confusion, he recalled the black dot on his palm, which was a hexagonal stone he had picked up while moving ore that morning. Because he had been somewhat slow in transporting the ore with Feifei, he had just received a few lashes from the supervisor before picking up this stone

The pagoda was filled with colorful mist, which was drawn into the center of the pagoda where the Skywalker was located. He saw the surrounding white mist rushing towards him, and then it entered his body. A wave of refreshing sensation surged from his limbs to his heart. Soon, however, a sharp pain struck his head, as countless pieces of knowledge were poured into him.

Just a moment ago, he was clearly lying on a simple wooden board, covered with a thin blanket, but how is it that he appears here now

Suddenly, everything went dark. Tianxing felt his body being shaken by someone. When he opened his eyes, he saw the dirty little face of Xiaofeifei in front of him. She was shaking herself vigorously, anxiously shouting: "Tianxing Ge, Tianxing Ge, wake up quickly! There's a fire!"

Rubbing his eyes, Tianxing stared in terror at the vast space before him

It seems that the hexagonal stone, the black spots on the palm, and the space before me are all interconnected

All around, there was a thin mist, yet an unusual silence prevailed. Tian Xing, feeling lost and bewildered, shouted, "Is anyone there?"

Inside the originally pitch-black pagoda, as the door closed tightly, it gradually became brighter. Before Tianxing's eyes, a dazzling and resplendent scene unfolded, overflowing with brilliant colors.

Upon seeing the stick falling down, Tianxing instinctively closed his eyes in shock and raised his arm to shield his head

A mournful scream escaped from the mouth of the foreman, and Tianxing felt a numbness in his arm, yet there was no anticipated pain. He opened his eyes in confusion and saw that the foreman was covered in blood, his hands clutching his face as he wailed in agony

Feeling the attraction of those weapons within the illuminated array, Tianxing lifted his leg, preparing to approach for a closer look. Suddenly, a rumbling sound echoed in his ears, and the entire space began to shake violently.

Having said that, he swung the short stick in his hand and struck forward

The thunderous echo startled Tianxing, causing him to involuntarily take a small step back. The mist surrounding him immediately began to swirl, and a tremendous suction force emanated from the distant pagoda. Tianxing found himself floating against his will, and then he plunged headfirst into the pagoda. With a resounding 'boom' echoing behind him, Tianxing, terrified to the core, let out a scream. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the great door of the pagoda closing behind him

The passage ahead was already congested to the point of being impassable, but to Tianxing's astonishment, under his pushing, the people in front were easily pulled aside. Soon, he stood at the door, protecting Xiao Feifei.

Startled, Tianxing quickly got up, grabbing Xiaofeifei's hand as he rushed toward the entrance. However, the narrow passage of the cave was already completely blocked by a throng of youths. The terrified crowd behind was still pushing forward, with some even crawling over the heads of those in front, moving forward on their bellies. Amidst the crowd ahead, someone had already let out a heart-wrenching wail.

Because there were already bloodstains on his hands, he felt a sharp pain in his palm after touching the stone. At that moment, he thought he had been pricked by the stone, creating a new wound. However, when he turned his gaze back, the stone had vanished without a trace.

With a pinch of disbelief, he pinched his own cheeks, and the pain he felt made Tian Xing realize that he was indeed not dreaming
