The airship carrying Lin Fan's group didn't head out long before stopping.
The airship was just too big and too eye-catching. If they were to fly that thing in there, it would be strange if they weren't immediately shot down by the beasts.
So they landed it just a kilometer away and got out, using their own life energy to fly the rest of the way.
Momonga's dark laws could also be used as a cover like the shadow laws and while it was weaker than the shadow laws, with how strong Momonga's laws were, there was no problem hiding themselves from the senses of the beasts at all.
The beasts were all gathered around, forming a circle with a wall of bodies.
If it wasn't for the fact that they could fly because of their cultivation, there was no way for them to break through this wall of pure beast muscles. The only other way would have been to find a secret passage and with how unlikely that was, it would have been a fool's dream.
With Angela's wind laws around them, they controlled the wind so it wouldn't alert the beasts that were flying around them and they made their way over the wall.
Once they were past the wall, there wasn't much that they could see other than a few beasts that were in the peak Platinum Realm that were standing around a building. This was a building that was completely dilapidated, clearly it hadn't been in use for countless years, but yet it still remained standing.
With the way they were standing around it, it seemed like they were guarding it, but for what reason, that was anyone's guess.
But it was clear that they weren't taking this task seriously since they were all scattered around the building, not even standing guard. They were just lying there, enjoying the sun and giving yawns like they were completely bored.
There wasn't even a single beast that was standing at the door.
It didn't take Lin Fan's group any time to sneak past them and enter the building, but there was still nothing interesting in the building.
The only strange thing was that this room was actually completely decorated with pure white furniture that was in perfect condition even though the rest of the house looked like it was falling apart.
Lin Fan came over to the table in the dining room to see what kind of material it was made of while Momonga just wandered into the kitchen.
After seeing that he couldn't see through this table, Lin Fan also headed over to the kitchen to join Momonga who had been looking at the counter, or more specifically, the floor by the counter.
Lin Fan came over and asked, "Did you find anything?"
Momonga didn't reply right away as he was deep in thought, but after a while, he said, "This place is interesting, it's made of Luminite."
Lin Fan revealed a confused look as he asked, "What is that?"
Momonga kept looking around as he casually said, "It's a special material. It isn't special because of how strong it is, but rather it's special because of how it can maintain its form for a long period of time without any maintenance."
Lin Fan pulled out his Iron Eater Bone Artifact and said, "Then that means that it's a rare metal?"
Momonga didn't answer this time. Instead he went under the counter and moved his hand around a few times before a "click" sound suddenly rang out. There was a shift in the floor as a staircase leading down suddenly appeared.
Momonga revealed an excited look as he said, "Finally found it, that took a bit."
Lin Fan had been poking the furniture in this kitchen with his Iron Eater Bone Artifact, but nothing had been happening the entire time. When he heard the sound of the staircase being revealed, he turned over to look at Momonga as he said, "What is going on?"
Momonga had also turned over to see Lin Fan poking at the furniture with his Iron Eater Bone Artifact as he asked at the same time, "What are you doing?"
Both of them just looked at each other, but Lin Fan was the first to speak because with how Momonga looked at him, it was almost like he had been caught doing something embarrassing.
Lin Fan scratched his head and said, "You said that this is a special material, so I thought that I could absorb it with my artifact."
Momonga shook his head as he gave a laugh, "It is a special material, but it's not a rare metal. This is a metal, but its specialty is because of its ability to maintain its form even after millions of years. It doesn't require any upkeep and that's because of the special energy this Luminite contains. It doesn't actually have any special metallic characteristics, so your artifact can't absorb it."
Lin Fan looked back in a daze as he said, "Oh."
Then after a few seconds, he turned back to the staircase and asked, "Then what about that?"
Momonga stretched his hands out and said, "If I knew that, we wouldn't be here, wouldn't we?"
Lin Fan paused for a second before giving a nod of agreement. That was right, if Momonga did know what this was, why would they be here?
During this entire time, Angela had been standing there watching them.
She didn't really care about what they were doing here, the only reason she came was because Lin Fan was here.
Since there was nothing of interest in the house, they didn't bother with touching anything there as they headed down the staircase.
During their descent, Momonga made sure to cover them with his darkness laws again because the staircase had made quite a bit of sound when it had appeared.
Normally this would have been a problem, but Lin Fan had used the sound of law that he had just obtained to create a soundproof space around them. It had ensured that all the sounds that were in the house didn't spread outside, so they had been able to talk without any problem during their time in the house.
As they descended, they continued down the stairs into pure darkness.
Both Momonga and Angela had night vision, so they could clearly see what was in front of them, but Lin Fan had to rely on the tiny bit of light that was coming from above, coming from the house.
But the staircase led down quite a bit and soon that light also disappeared. The only thing that Lin Fan could do was take Angela's hand as she led him down.
After walking down the stairs for a few minutes, they finally saw a bit of light coming from below, but when they did see this light, they immediately slowed down and raised their guard.
The beasts outside had clearly been guarding this house and there was the fact that there were no King Beasts around, there was only one possibility for that. It meant that all the King Beasts were already down here and it was likely this light came from them.
But as they slowly approached under the cover of Momonga's darkness laws, they found that this was nothing more than a torch on the wall of a corridor that appeared in front of them.
There were several torches that lined the walls of the corridor, lighting up their way.
With how this corridor was shaped and what materials the walls were made of, this place was clearly man made, however, it was also quite a simple place.
There were no decorations on the walls at all, it was just a single corridor that led straight forward without an end in sight.
Of course, now that they were deep into unknown territory, Lin Fan's group didn't dare be negligent.
They slowly made their way forward in the corridor with their guard up, but as they continued along, there was nothing for them to find. There was only this corridor for as long as they could see.
But all things did come to an end eventually and they made their way to the end of the corridor.
At the end of the corridor, there was a wall with a large door in it that was completely pushed open. It was very clear that someone had been here before, but when they looked into the room, they couldn't find anything.
This room wasn't that much different from the corridor that they had just been in since there wasn't much here either. The only difference was that this room had a statue in it, as well as two more corridors behind the statue.
This was a statue of a woman who had wings on her back with her hands spread in front of her.
They had to admit that this statue was quite beautifully made and the model for the statue was also quite beautiful. In terms of her appearance, she might even be a match for Angela.
When Lin Fan saw this statue, he couldn't help thinking that this statue was a bit familiar looking, but he couldn't tell where it was from.
But that wasn't the important thing, the important thing was the plaque that was at the base of the statue.
The plaque read: To the weary travellers that have made it this far, congratulations on arriving here. Those that are lucky enough to make it here have a chance, please pick a path and test your luck.
Other than that, there was nothing else there for them.
They knew that the King Beasts must have already gone forward, but this was a test of luck and when it came to luckā¦
Both Momonga and Lin Fan turned to look at Angela.
