CHAPTER 724: CHAPTER 723: THE RUBIK’S CUBE THAT TURNED INTO A KEY

Lin Siyin recounted what she had heard about the Forgotten Land from Qiao Sinian.

Lu Zixun thought for a moment before saying, "Opportunity brings not only power but also danger, so don’t relax your guard just because I’m with you."

Hearing Lu Zixun’s earnest words,

The previously composed Huan Team silently became more cautious.

"Are we going to train now, or do you want to stay here and watch for a while, Lord Xun?"

Seeing the serious expressions on the team members’ faces, Lin Siyin looked at Lu Zixun and joked.

"I’ll just stay here. I don’t have anything else to do today anyway."

Lu Zixun, who had spent the whole day at the Crimson Academy, returned to the Demon Country the next afternoon.

Geng Xiyuan, who had thoroughly looted the Ouyang Family’s relics, was reporting his spoils to Lu Zixun with an expression that said he had struck it rich.

"We discovered the Ouyang Family had hoarded quite a few Spiritual Ability Traits, and with some extra Crimson Coins, it’s enough to train the kids up to J-level."

"At the same time, we found several Sealed Items of the Demon Clan. Our Demon Country now also possesses Sealed Items. We also found an object from the Forgotten Land, but we don’t know what use it has yet..."

After Geng Xiyuan excitedly finished his report, Lu Zixun slowly said, "That object from the Forgotten Land, let me have a look at it."

"Okay."

With a single acknowledgment, Geng Xiyuan rummaged through his storage talisman for a while before taking out an object that looked like a square.

Lu Zixun first probed it with Spiritual Energy Silk, and, realizing that the square’s shell blocked the exploration, his eyebrows rose.

It was that kind of special material again.

"Xiyuan, how did you know that this thing came from the Forgotten Land?"

Lu Zixun asked, turning it over in his hands, his gaze falling on Geng Xiyuan.

"The Ouyang Family had stuck a post-it note on it."

Hearing this, Lu Zixun was somewhat speechless; he hadn’t expected that to be the reason.

"Click."

As Lu Zixun was about to have Geng Xiyuan take the thing away, suddenly there was a sound from the square.

Upon closer inspection... the square had been twisted by Lu Zixun.

"Fog Grass?"

Seeing the square had transformed into a strange shape, Lu Zixun’s mouth twitched slightly—this seemed to be a Rubik’s cube.

A strange aura emanated from the gaps Lu Zixun had twisted, and there was a glow on the cube, along with the appearance of an odd pattern.

"Interesting."

Sensing this aura, Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes.

Having absorbed just a little, he could already feel a significant increase in his own Spiritual Energy.

If he could fully solve the Rubik’s cube, Lu Zixun could absorb Spiritual Ability Traits at the fastest speed.

But...

Lu Zixun looked at Geng Xiyuan, who was curiously watching the cube—it seemed Xiyuan hadn’t sensed this aura.

Could it be that this aura was only useful to Spiritual Ability Users?

When Lu Zixun asked, Geng Xiyuan was utterly bewildered, "What aura? Isn’t there no aura at all from this cube?"

With the cube in hand, Lu Zixun found Sarah, who was in the research lab.

Lu Zixun sat aside, watching as Sarah studied the pattern that appeared on the cube’s surface.

"Got it."

Sarah pumped her fist in excitement when the optimal solution appeared on the computer screen.

She picked up the cube, ready to turn it, but then she found... she couldn’t move it.

"Lord Xun..."

Turning to Lu Zixun for help, Sarah looked frustrated, "This cube is somewhat bullying me, I can’t turn it."

Glancing at Sarah in surprise, Lu Zixun thought, isn’t turning a cube something you just do with hands?

Lu Zixun took the magic cube and glanced at the sequence of movements on the screen before he lowered his head to start twisting it.

"Click, clack."

As Lu Zixun’s fingers danced over the cube, the magical patterns on it also began to connect with each other.

But he stopped halfway through.

It wasn’t that he had forgotten the sequence, but rather that with each twist, that breath of air would increase slightly.

At that moment, the Spiritual Energy within his body was about to overflow from his Spiritual Energy Acupoint.

In other words, if he continued, Lu Zixun would inexplicably burst and perish.

After talking to Sarah, Lu Zixun, holding the magic cube, headed to the Cultivation Room.

He took out all the Spiritual Ability Traits from the talisman storing his advancement to D-level and began to absorb them.

When the cube was turned to two-thirds complete, only the last Spiritual Ability Trait remained before Lu Zixun.

That is to say, Lu Zixun was about to be promoted to D-level.

This speed...

It was terrifying, astonishment showed in Lu Zixun’s eyes.

If he hadn’t understood that this breath had no threat, he would have tossed it aside long ago.

"Kaka."

The sound of twisting resumed.

When the patterns on the surface of the cube were all connected, the Spiritual Energy within Lu Zixun’s Spiritual Energy Acupoint reached a point of overflowing again.

The magic cube detached from Lu Zixun’s hands and began to spin wildly in the middle of the room, and at the same time, a dazzling light kept shining.

However, this bright light was no big deal for Lu Zixun, who cleverly took out his sunglasses to put on.

He could see that beneath the cover of the light, the magic cube transformed into a key inlaid with a Blue Crystal, and finally it fell into Lu Zixun’s hands.

The vast and ethereal aura, emanating from the Blue Crystal, gave Lu Zixun the feeling of seeing the Heart of the Ocean for the first time.

Upon close inspection of the Blue Crystal, Lu Zixun faintly made out the character "喜" (joy).

When he came out of the Cultivation Room, Lu Zixun had successfully advanced to D-level, but the expression on his face was grave.

"Brother Xun, you..."

Lifting her head to see Lu Zixun standing at the door, Sarah’s mouth gaped slightly: "How did you break through already, weren’t you just E-level a couple of days ago?"

"That breath inside the magic cube."

He explained briefly, and Lu Zixun slapped the joy key onto the table: "Sarah, study this key, it transformed from that magic cube."

After dropping this line, Lu Zixun hurriedly left.

What he needs to understand now is what exactly the Lord of Sin has done in the past.

Initially, when Lu Zixun saw the character "喜" (joy), it didn’t affect him much.

But after he absorbed the last Spiritual Ability Trait and succeeded in his advancement, the more he thought about it, the odder it seemed.

Isn’t the Lord of Sin capable of absorbing people’s fear?

Then could it be that other emotions were also possible?

Lu Zixun, arriving at Zeng Haoyang’s office, pushed the door and entered.

What he saw was not only Zeng Haoyang, but also Long Jiuri, whose body emanated a strong Spiritual pressure.

"Ninth Brother, you’re back?"

Lu Zixun, a bit startled, felt steadier for a moment, a major support had returned.

"Mm."

With a gentle response, Long Jiuri looked Lu Zixun over and frowned: "Da Ju, why do you have the aroma of the Forgotten Land on you, haven’t you not yet entered?"

It was only now that Lu Zixun sensed that Long Jiuri’s body had the same aura of the Forgotten Land.

Wasn’t it said that the Forgotten Land could only be entered at a specific opening time?

Could it be... there’s more than one magic cube?
