Bizarre Realm-Chapter 423 - 44: Literature, Sculpture, Painting! The Twisted Art Domain
Tower of Knowledge, Star Dome Library.
When Shawn stepped into this legendary library, even he, who had seen much, couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned. The library’s dome was adorned with countless stars, gemstones set like dazzling jewels, gleaming under the dark night sky, making one feel as if they were under the starry sky. The swirling nebulae slowly moved, which was a power of the Illusion Realm. Upon entering here, it was as though one had entered another space, an extra-dimensional space expanded by Spell, with an interior larger than what appeared from outside.
"Maze Lock Domain detected."
"Half-Plane detected — Other-dimensional Sphere."
A heavy Diamond Golem slowly walked up to Shawn. Unlike other golems, it had crystal structures emanating arcane light, seemingly serving as the librarian here. It respectfully said, "Lord Shawn."
"Please follow me."
"The Great Sages have approved your application. You can freely read all the Secret Technique Scrolls here."
—— Auric Guard [Legendary Golem][Large Construct] (Challenge Level 20)?!
Shawn nodded slightly and said, "Mm."
It seems the Tower of Knowledge has accumulated quite a bit over the years. Unlike Lady Hecate’s Maze Library, this is a real library, while Lady Hecate’s is the manifested projection of a Divine Kingdom. The books in the Maze Library are materialized from the mysterious Knowledge she holds.
—— Knowledge is Power.
Shawn saw the runes inscribed on the dome, left from the Sages of the Dark Era, possibly including the presence of a Foreigner. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
The whispers of Sealed Object No. 1 sounded: "The master once also helped build the Other-dimensional Sphere."
"It was transformed from a temple."
Shawn was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this. The next moment, the Spiritual Vision activated, his gaze penetrating the Illusion Series’ augmentation, revealing the outline of a structure similar to a mosque, unchanged were the countless gems inset upon it. However, these gems were converted into materials of the Maze Lock Domain, linking to the energy channels of the Other-dimensional Sphere.
The Witch King’s Ring stirred slightly, Shawn’s Divine Thought detected the tremors of the Vessel of Greed.
The Vessel of Greed had always been very docile. Besides attempting to tempt him when Shawn used Prayer Technique to enhance his inner attributes, at other times, it behaved as though it didn’t exist. But ever since Shawn came here, the Vessel of Greed was quite restless, the Wind Elemental Demigod inside seemed to want to forcibly break the seal.
"What’s going on?" Shawn’s will touched the Vessel of Greed.
Vessel of Greed: "..."
After a long time, its whisper sounded: "This was once the temple that worshipped me."
Temple?
Shawn’s eyebrows slightly raised, seemingly disbelieving, he communicated mentally: "Any evidence?"
The Vessel of Greed was silent for a moment before responding: "Follow the Star Dome Corridor to the third floor, there is a Crystal Pillar of the Elemental Plane."
"Use my True Name Mark to touch it."
Upon hearing this, Shawn casually wandered around the first floor, then strolled leisurely to the third floor, and indeed found a heavy Crystal Pillar. It wasn’t something of the Material Plane, but a crystal of the Inner Plane. When Shawn’s palm manifested the True Name Mark to touch it, an ancient string of elemental characters quickly appeared.
—— Husam Ben Yugein (Wind Elemental Divine Monster, High Lord).
This really was a temple dedicated to the ’quasi-divine entities’ of the Inner Elemental realm.
No wonder it looked a bit like a mosque.
The Vessel of Greed’s voice carried a trace of anger: "They sealed my temple inside the Dimensional Sphere."
Shawn said expressionlessly: "Don’t be angry. You yourself are sealed inside the Vessel of Greed."
Vessel of Greed: "..."
Shawn sensed the fury and roar of this Wind Elemental Lord, but its impotent rage was confined inside the Vessel of Greed, the divine oath left by the Grandmaster was extremely firm and unshakable.
Vessel of Greed: "Want the treasure I left behind in those years?"
"They shouldn’t be able to decipher the mysteries of this temple. Above the Star Dome, there is the Sky Stone I left in the Material Plane back then."
Shawn’s hand paused for a moment, calmly saying: "How do I know you’re telling the truth?"
Vessel of Greed: "..."
"These mortals simply don’t know how to harness the power of the Sky Stone. Once you take it down, you can build a Floating City anytime."
Shawn was unmoved, casually flipping through a Secret Technique Scroll, the Reading Magic swiftly memorizing the Knowledge within.
Time passed quietly and silently.
Unaware of how long had passed, after the impotent rage of the Vessel of Greed had calmed, Shawn had already memorized a large portion of the bookshelf. He suddenly communicated mentally: "Tell me about the Sky Stone you left behind."
Vessel of Greed: "..."
"Weren’t you reluctant to trust me, human?"
Shawn said indifferently: "Earlier someone was continuously monitoring this place. Maybe I might be interested if you talk about it."
Vessel of Greed: "..."
"You should know everything about the Wind Elemental Plane, right?"
Shawn took a tour within the library, picking up a Secret Scroll inscribed with the Spellcasting Series, responding calmly: "Yes, I know."
Vessel of Greed: "The Wind Elemental Plane has no land, it’s a realm shrouded in Atmosphere, like a completely gaseous planet."
Shawn said coldly: "Get to the point."
Vessel of Greed: "..."
"The Wind Elemental Plane lacks land, but above the clouds, there are some natural Floating Islands. They are the only land. These Floating Islands drift across the entire Wind Elemental Plane, extremely rare and often occupied by powerful Elemental Sultans."
