Chapter 34 Successfully reproduced, the channel is controllable!
As the door slammed shut, the dim starlight from the distant starry sky disappeared from Yu Sheng's eyes. It was a full half minute later that he came back to his senses from the shock of that moment. He then took a long breath and belatedly broke out in a cold sweat.
After opening the door, you may not necessarily arrive at a "place" in a foreign land or on a planet, and there is even a certain probability that you will directly enter space? The randomness and random range of this "door" far exceeded Yu Sheng's imagination! At this moment, Yu Sheng even felt fortunate - he was fortunate that the first time he accidentally opened the "door", he stepped into a foreign land instead of opening the door in the deep space of the universe. If he was so unlucky at that time, he simply couldn't imagine what would happen.
In the worst case scenario, he might go through a rapid and continuous process of death and rebirth in the harsh environment of outer space, with no chance to maintain a clear mind, let alone explore and master the ability to open the door in this rapid and continuous death process - even if he really managed to survive miraculously, or was lucky enough to open the door to return to the surface by accident, it must have been an extremely terrifying experience before that.
After his pounding heart finally calmed down, Yu Sheng immediately began to analyze the new information he had obtained during the process of opening the door.
When the door opened, he did not feel the terrifying "suction" brought by the vacuum environment on the opposite side, nor did he seem to feel the coldness of outer space.
But the previous few times the door opened, he could hear the sounds on the other side of the door, and also feel some environmental influences on the other side of the door - such as the scorching air currents on a desolate planet.
Why is this? Does the "gate" itself have some kind of filtering ability? When the difference between the two sides of the environment is too great, it will actively isolate this part of the influence? Or is there something special about "outer space" itself, a kind of "coordinate" that can only be seen but cannot be truly reached? Or... what was just now was not actually the real outer space, but another kind of "foreign land" that looked like the starry sky...
Yu Sheng pondered and looked back at Irene in the oil painting.
Irene looked over here hesitantly: "Do you want to continue? You seemed to be startled just now..."
Yu Sheng closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, only determination remained.
"continue."
He gripped the door handle again, but more carefully than last time. He sensed the subtle and delicate "spiritual guidance" more carefully, while trying to recall the feeling when he successfully opened the door several times before, trying... to reproduce a certain passage.
He slowly opened the door, and on the other side of the door was just an ordinary scene, which looked like a deserted beach.
It wasn't any door he had ever opened.
Then, he tried again and again, opening the door again and again, looking for the way that would lead to Hu Li.
Or any other reproducible passage - as long as he could master the pattern of opening the door.
In this constant attempt, at one point Yu Sheng even had a brief thought in his heart - is there a door, behind which is the familiar "hometown" in his memory?
He still remembered that he came to this "boundary city" after pushing the door and leaving home one morning. Although there was no clear evidence, he now increasingly suspected that that was the moment when he truly "opened the door" for the first time.
But at that time he had no idea.
Then, when he opens the door in the future, will he see the home in his memory? Yu Sheng forced himself to suppress this sudden thought in his mind. He knew that he had more urgent things to do now. Going home... was just a temporary expectation buried in his heart.
The door opened again and again, some were bizarre, some were ordinary, some were absurd and weird, and even... prosperous and lively.
Countless distant worlds came into view with each brief opening and closing of the door, and then slammed shut, and in this repetitive process, Yu Sheng suddenly had a wonderful feeling.
This world...is indeed not just Jiecheng.
Outside this huge "border city" that seems to have all kinds of special features... it is so vast and boundless.
So many landscapes, so many mysteries, so many strange and colorful places in the distance - just every time he opened the door, just as he pushed and pulled it.
He was not trapped in this city.
Irene also seemed to be getting excited slowly. Although no one knew what the doll in the painting was so excited about, she and Yu Sheng looked at the scenery outside the door and were obviously becoming more and more excited.
She couldn't move, so she began to comment on the scenes outside the door.
"This mountain is so high! There is a glowing object on the mountain. Will there be a chance to see it in the future?"
"The sea! What a big fish!"
"Wow! It's all snow, but why is it light blue... It doesn't look like there's any life..."
"…It's a toilet, hurry up and leave."
"… You scared me, there must be a ghost!"
The doll was never quiet and would beep non-stop when it saw anything outside the door. Yu Sheng thought it was a bit noisy at first, but gradually, Irene's noisy beeping, which always had new tricks, became a bit of fun in the boring "testing" process.
Then, just before opening the door one time, he suddenly felt a stir in his heart, as if he had finally "touched" the right frequency when searching for a very narrow band with an old-fashioned rotary capacitor FM radio. He sensed a channel that had been opened before - not the valley filled with hunger, but a door that he had indeed opened.
Yu Sheng suddenly grasped that feeling, and then for the first time, he took the initiative to control his "spiritual guidance" without any tricks, and just instinctively moved towards the familiar passage -
He pushed the door open carefully and looked across.
He saw flames burning around the door frame.
He also saw a solemn and ancient palace in the distance, with spiritual light floating between the flying eaves and pillars of the hall. There was also a handsome young man in brocade robes, and an old man with white hair and a youthful face and an immortal look.
The young man was being hung on the beam and beaten by the old man.
The old man was full of energy, and everyone here could hear it clearly—
"You have been with me for so many years in vain! You actually secretly practiced the magic way! Tell me! What's going on with refining living beings in the alchemy furnace! What's going on with the human head! You, you, you... you really hurt innocent people!?"
The handsome young man in brocade robes twisted on the beam and shouted, "Master, this is unfair! I was just refining an ordinary Soul-Enriching Pill! How could I know how my junior brother saw a person coming out of the furnace's fire door... Oh, oh, stop hitting me, stop hitting me, Master, this is unfair!"
The old immortal master almost jumped up when he heard this: "Don't try to quibble! When I checked the furnace before, I even saw the spirit of a living being! There was indeed a living person in your furnace!"
Yu Sheng was stunned, and then he saw another small figure popping out from the door frame. It was the Taoist boy holding the fan before. The little brat stared at the door with wide eyes, and ran towards the main hall shouting, "Master! Master! Another head popped out of Senior Brother's alchemy furnace! It's the same one as before!"
The old man with a celestial look pulled out the copper-headed leather belt...
Of course, it might not be the copper-headed leather belt. It was too far away to see clearly - but judging from the young man's instantaneous scream, that thing was as intimidating as the copper-headed leather belt.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Yu Sheng slammed the door shut, feeling shocked, excited, and all kinds of emotions intertwined. After a long while, he turned around and shouted to Irene in surprise: "Irene! I did it! I did it!"
Irene was startled: "Calm down, what happened?"
"The passage just now was opened before! I just opened it again under my own control - this process is controllable! It can be reproduced!"
He was excited and thrilled. After confirming that he could really control that subtle "spiritual guidance", it meant that he could also control and reproduce any other "gate" that had ever been opened, including the valley where Hu Li was!
What he had to do next was to find a way to recall the "frequency" that he had sensed in his heart when he fell into the valley before. Even if it was just a similar frequency, he would keep trying until he found it!
Irene was obviously also excited like Yu Sheng, but Miss Doll unexpectedly regained her composure quickly this time. She started to remind him, "Well, why don't you explain the situation to the person on the other side of the door first... The one hanging on the beam is about to be beaten to death..."
Yu Sheng was stunned, and then he realized this belatedly - mainly because the door was opened randomly every time before, and he was not used to the situation where the door opening process was controllable and many things could be done.
Then he reached out and grasped the door handle, but a hint of hesitation flashed through his mind.
Is the person on the other side easy to talk to? That immortal-looking guy... could he be the "immortal" mentioned by Hu Li? But he doesn't look like that, mainly because he doesn't look like the kind of immortal who runs a travel agency. Maybe he is not from the same system... What if he can't explain it well later and the other side attacks him? He is a mortal and he certainly can't beat him... So he can just talk through the door? The other side shouldn't be able to attack through the door... After all, after he closed the door before, the immortal-looking old man only sensed the "spirituality of the living beings" and didn't come through the door...
A mess of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Yu Sheng finally gritted his teeth and concentrated again to try to lock the frequency of opening the door before. After confirming several times, he finally opened the door carefully.
The joy of success emerged from the bottom of his heart, and he successfully reproduced the passage again -
The old man with a sage-like appearance was escorting the young man in gorgeous clothes who had been beaten for half a day, flying from a distance on a rosy glow.
Yu Sheng didn't dare to get close to them through the door, so he just shouted loudly: "It's all a misunderstanding!"
Then the young man in gorgeous clothes fell directly from the clouds, and almost cried out: "You can't play like this! I don't know which immortal senior is on the other side. If I have offended you, please tell me clearly!"
"I don't know! I was just passing by!" Yu Sheng really told the truth, "I didn't know this was your furnace - it was a misunderstanding, a real misunderstanding."
Then he just closed the door.
The main reason is that I’m really afraid that the immortal from the opposite side will attack me.
Then Yu Sheng turned around and stared at Irene in the oil painting.
"…Do you think I explained it clearly?"
Irene nodded. "I think the explanation is clear."
“…I feel really sorry for it.”
"…I probably won't meet him next time. The world is so big, right?"
"Yeah, that makes sense."
