Chapter 59 Azure Soul Winds
"Just wait a minute. You'll be able to sense it from this distance!"
Just as Cyrus's voice trailed off, Rita suddenly felt a chill to his spine as the murky winds around here started to stir.
However, this aura vanished as fast as it appeared, leaving Rita dumbfounded. She finally understood what Cyrus meant by those subtle words.
Cyrus smiled coldly as he looked at the building, "This kind of Qi surge can only appear when a treasure is about to be born. The dimension core should be akin to a treasure, and if it isn't, who will refuse a free treasure, right?"
The meaning behind his words was quite apparent. Even if there wasn't a dimension core there, they won't leave disappointed.
Rita's eyes lit up when she heard about treasure, and she nodded with great anticipation, "Let's go then. I have never seen a treasure before."
Cyrus chuckled as he knew who wouldn't like treasure hunting.
So, he also summoned Eve as well who instantly started to complain since he didn't summon her for five days. But she was easily coaxed by the allure of treasure hunting like Rita. No, she was even more ecstatic than Rita.
Cyrus then led both curious girls inside the building, which was filled with murky winds. He used the Soul Eyes spell, and a blue sheen enveloped his eyes.
"Let's go." He then started to lead Rita toward the north of the spacious building.
This building was a training facility for training police officers, as there were all kinds of training equipment scattered around the place.
"This place is a hundred times better than the training center where I trained in. The district was really a paradise for ordinaries." Rita commented with a hint of nostalgia.
"Hmph, she had no idea about the true hell of District V!" Eve couldn't help but scoff.
Cyrus coolly replied to both of them, "Everyone has different starting points. Some were born as kings, while some were born as Slaves. In the end, it didn't matter from where we started, but what mattered was where we ended our journey."
Both women fell into contemplative silence at his words, and Cyrus merely smiled and didn't say any further.
Whether it was Eve or Rita, they had yet to see the true colors of life, and their mind of too narrow. All he can do is broaden their horizon.
At this moment, Cyrus suddenly stopped because they reached a dead end. A wall was standing ahead of them.
Rita frowned and asked, "Are we in the right place?"
Cyrus sneered as he looked at the wall, "Hmph, paltry tricks."
The next moment thereafter, he slashed his sword toward the wall as a pale blue sheen covered the edge of the blade.
'Swish…'
Winds wail around them as the blade easily cuts into the wall, and like a mirage, the wall starts to ripple like a calm lake before it crumbles, revealing a door.
Rita was shocked, "W-what was that?"
"It was a natural illusion array formed by soul Qi. I just discovered its weak spot and slashed it with soul Qi; it was broken. As for what an array is, I'll teach you after we leave this place. Now I'm pretty sure the dimension core is more like a natural treasure since a natural array won't be formed just anywhere." Cyrus revealed while he pushed the door open.
Eve and Rita were both amazed by this new information as they were still too ignorant about the wonders of the world.
When the door opened, a small room which was too ordinary for anyone to ignore and forget about it easily, appeared in Cyrus's view.
There wasn't even a speck of dust in this place, but in Cyrus's eyes, he could see a dark spot on the upper corner of the left wall.
He moved there without hesitation and again splashed his sword again, and just like before, a broken compartment on the wall appeared, and there was a white round button within this compartment.
After discovering it wasn't an illusion, Cyrus pressed it without hesitation.
Thereby, the entire room suddenly trembled before the sound of something began to move rang, and so did the entire room, starting to go downwards slowly.
"It's a hidden elevator!" Rita exclaimed.
Cyrus nodded with a cold smile, "This room was just a cover-up to hide some secret. I wonder who and why this place was built. But one thing is for sure, the soul Qi around this place is quite dense. Even a natural array was formed to protect this secret passage. Whatever is down there, it's something protected by the Underworld's Qi, so it won't be simple."
Rita nodded with a grave expression as she was ready for an ambush.
However, soon, Cyrus was astonished because if he wasn't wrong, then they were already two hundred meters deep underground, and the room was still going down.
"Just how deep is this place?" He muttered as his expression went grave because if they were stuck down there, it would be quite a hassle to go back up, and this elevator seemed to be the other passage toward the surface.
Rita was also speechless as she noticed and thought about the same scenario.
When the elevator was finally stopped, they were probably three hundred meters deep underground, and at this moment, the right wall suddenly trembled before it shifted downwards.
A dark passage filled with azure winds appeared, and the moment these azure winds enveloped the room, Rita instantly started to tremble with a pale face as she felt her soul begin to freeze. This was the same feeling she felt for the first time when she came in contact with the soul winds.
Cyrus's expression was also solemn as he put his hand on Rita's head and cast the soul bliss spell. Although Rita felt better, she could still feel cold despite being in the protection of the soul bliss spell, which had never happened before.
Cyrus solemnly uttered as he looked at the azure winds, "These Azure Soul Winds should be from the outer regions of the Underworld, which mean they are even fatal for Qi core realm living beings!"
