Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 695 - 369: I See You_2

According to the information provided by the Divine Weapon Pavilion and the Zhou Royal Mansion, this well should be the core of this area.

If you want to use the village's time flow to train, you just need to stay at the edge of the wellhead.

However, Lu Yu wasn't interested in this place. Based on the time flow tested with dust earlier, it should be a month faster than the Divine Martial World here, meaning a day in the Divine Martial World is equivalent to a month in the Fractured World.

Lu Yu gathered spiritual power in his eyes; the Fire Demon Eyes and Ice Jade Eyes functioned together, his vision piercing through the hazy white light to see below.

There was a sea of white clouds below, but upon them sat a skeleton, its bones emitting a faint glow like white jade.

The light from the wellhead was the light emanating from the White Jade Skull below.

Through the edge of the clouds, Lu Yu saw the scene below — a ruined city where he could only make out broken city walls.

"This place should be called a node connecting to other regions," Lu Yu mused.

In the Fractured World, time and space are both in a state of collapse, with space fragmented into independent regions called "Mysterious Domains."

The rules within each Mysterious Domain differ, and not knowing the rules can easily lead to death.

The passage from one Mysterious Domain to another is called a node.

A Mysterious Domain doesn't have just one node; a node could be a point, a line, or reaching a certain height might lead to another Mysterious Domain.

The node that Lu Yu found was of the "point" type.

The shadow of black oil feared the white light emitting from the White Jade Skull. If Lu Yu could obtain the White Jade Skull, he could move freely in this village.

However, Lu Yu didn't intend to stay here.

After pondering for a moment, he chose to jump into the wellhead.

With a hiss, Lu Yu's fingers left five scratches on the mottled well wall, controlling his descent speed.

Soon, Lu Yu approached the white clouds and the skeleton he saw from the wellhead and discovered that the bottom of the well had vanished, leaving emptiness below.

He casually took out a piece of ore and threw it toward the white clouds.

The ore directly passed through the white clouds and fell; his view was blocked by the clouds, and he couldn't see where the ore landed.

"An illusion?" Lu Yu looked at the skeleton, eyes focused, and the patterns on the skeleton quickly magnified in his sight.

This was a real skeleton, not an illusion, but the white clouds couldn't support an object. What was going on? Could the skeleton be weightless?

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yu took out a rope as thick as his wrist.

Once out of his backpack, the rope quickly became outdated and moldy. Fortunately, Lu Yu had anticipated this, and the rope was thick enough to still be usable despite its worn state.

He made a hole in the well wall, inserted a sturdy iron rod into it, and tied the rope to the rod. Both appeared somewhat shabby and ancient but had to suffice.

Having no other choice, Lu Yu went with this setup.

He tossed the rope down.

Whoosh~ the rope threaded through the white clouds and dangled toward the ground.

Lu Yu pulled the rope back up, observing that after passing through the cloud, it had turned slightly black, indicating further decay.

This, however, confirmed that descending from here won't split one in two.

Lu Yu released his grip, swiftly sliding down the rope, which groaned under the weight, its stresses putting a strain on the iron rod wedged into the well wall, which creaked as if about to snap.

Thankfully, when Lu Yu's foot touched the white clouds, the rope hadn't broken yet.

He probed the clouds with his foot, finding it akin to stepping on air, puzzled as to how the White Jade Skull sat atop them.

After a brief thought, Lu Yu tentatively released spiritual power beneath his feet; the energy barely emerged before dissipating into the air.

But before it was lost entirely, Lu Yu felt a sense of solidity beneath his feet.

With a smile, Lu Yu let go of the rope and walked on the clouds toward the White Jade Skull.

Each step consumed spiritual power, risking a fall through the cloud layer if he wasn't careful.

Standing before the skeleton, Lu Yu looked down at it.

It lacked the grimness of a corpse, resembling a jade art piece, seemingly carved from stone.

Studying it intently, Lu Yu realized it closely resembled the Venerable White Bone he had encountered in the Earth Fire Demon Cave. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

This skeleton was even purer than the Venerable White Bone; the latter's bones still evinced a sense of solidity, while this one's marrow had transformed entirely into jade.

This indicated that the person's cultivation in life was undoubtedly no weaker than the Nascent Soul stage.

Lu Yu pondered this, then took hold of the White Jade Skull, storing it away in his backpack.

Swish~ The moment the White Jade Skull disappeared, the white clouds beneath Lu Yu's feet began to disperse, unable to support him.

Moreover, the sound of flowing water came from above, and Lu Yu plummeted quickly, looking up to see the thick black oil welling up to form an oily black column.

He could still see figures intermittently appearing on the surface of the black oil pillar, clawing at him viciously.

But they couldn't leave the column or reach Lu Yu a few meters away.

Seeing they weren't a threat, Lu Yu turned his gaze downward to a ruinous city devoid of life.

Falling faster and faster, Lu Yu shifted to a freefall until he rapidly struck the air before him, the great force distorting the air, producing a counterforce that slowed his descent.
