Luo Tianhe and I exchanged a glance, feeling both a glimmer of hope and a sense of confusion.
Favorable timing, advantageous location, and harmonious relationships—it sounds simple, but how do you grasp these in this godforsaken place?
"Old Chen, how do we manage to get the right timing, location, and people?" Luo Tianhe asked helplessly.
I stood up and dusted myself off.
“Brother Luo, the timing might be related to time, the location might be related to the orientation of this space, and the people are related to our own state. Let’s first see if there are any clues in this space related to time and orientation.”
So we began to search carefully within this circular space.
We scrutinized every detail, from the gems on the walls and the patterns on the floor to the statues in the corners.
Finally, in a corner of the wall, we found a small dial.
The dial is engraved with the symbols of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and the pointer is slowly turning.
Luo Tianhe looked at the dial, somewhat annoyed: "Old Chen, this pointer is turning so slowly, are we supposed to wait here for it to reach a specific position?"
I nodded: "Very likely, and we also need to find the location related to the terrain."
Just then, I suddenly remembered the strange beast statues I had seen on the stone gate before. Their positions and postures might contain information about directions.
I asked him, "Do you remember the location and posture of those mythical beast statues on the stone gate?"
"Position and posture?"
Luo Tianhe thought for a moment: "I do remember this. The eyes of the beast statue on the stone gate were facing some symbols on the wall."
As he spoke, he took the stone from my hand and started drawing on the ground.
I should have looked away, because once I did, I realized how good this guy's drawing skills were.
They even captured the essence of those mythical beasts in my drawing.
That requires an amazing memory and drawing skills.
"Brother Luo, you used to study painting?" I asked in surprise.
Luo Tianhe scoffed, "It's just drawing, how difficult is it? It's just that I haven't drawn in a long time. If it were a few years ago, I could draw it for you in three minutes."
I said, "You're a gangster boss, and you actually have this kind of hobby?"
Luo Tianhe's smile froze for a moment, and he chuckled twice without offering any explanation, as if he had thought of something.
Since he didn't say anything, I didn't bother to ask.
Everyone has secrets; if he doesn't want to tell me, I won't force him.
I squatted down and looked in the direction of the statue's eyes, and found that the symbols formed a simple orientation map.
This orientation map seems to correspond to key locations in this space that are related to geographical advantages.
"Brother Luo, I think I've found the right location. Now we just need to wait for the right time, that is, for the pointer on the dial to turn to the right position."
After I finished speaking, I didn't see Luo Tianhe respond. I turned around and found that he was still in a daze.
"Brother Luo?" I gently patted Luo Tianhe.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Luo Tianhe trembled and looked at me in confusion.
I said I've found the right location, now I just need to wait for the right time, that is, for the pointer on the dial to turn to the right position.
"oh!"
Luo Tianhe gave a casual reply and then fell silent again.
What's wrong with this guy? He's acting really weird.
I asked him why a gangster boss would suddenly start learning to paint, and why he seemed so engrossed in the subject.
But at that moment, there was no time to think about what he was thinking.
I waited quietly. Although the surrounding space was still somewhat unstable, the intense turbulence of before was gone.
Finally, the pointer on the dial slowly moved to a specific position.
A thought struck me, and I knew the time had come.
"Brother Luo, the time is ripe! Let's guide the power of the Mysterious Female once again, following the patterns and directions we found before!" I shouted.
Luo Tianhe nodded and walked with me to the stone.
I took a deep breath, adjusted my state, and then stretched out my right hand to touch the texture of the stone in the order of the five elements' mutual generation, while focusing my attention on the directions related to the location.
As I moved, the light on the stone shone again, even brighter than before.
The surrounding space began to brighten and stabilize, with the vortex on the ceiling slowly rotating and emitting a soft light.
A powerful yet gentle force surged from the stone, flowing down my arm into my body and then circulating within me.
I could feel that this power was completely different from what I had felt before; it was full of life and vitality, as if it were the purest energy in the world.
Guided by this power, Luo Tianhe and I seemed to merge with the entire space, and we could clearly feel the flow and changes of the Xuanpin power.
Following our inner guidance, we precisely directed this force, allowing it to flow orderly through space.
Gradually, the light on the stone reached its peak, the vortex on the ceiling stopped spinning, and a soft beam of light shone down from the vortex, enveloping us.
The moment we successfully took control of the power of the Mysterious Female, the surrounding space seemed to be stirred by an invisible force.
The once solid wall began to tremble violently, and cracks spread rapidly like a spider web.
"Old Chen, what's going on? It collapsed again? How many times has it collapsed now?"
Before I could answer, there was a loud "boom," and the wall began to collapse in large chunks, with stone chips flying everywhere and dust filling the air.
I instinctively raised my hand to cover myself, but found that my hand was as if it were being held firmly to the stone by a powerful magnetic force, and I couldn't pull it out no matter what I did.
