Facing a rocky wall located within a crevice that formed long ago, where once emerged powerful beasts that mercilessly slaughtered all living beings on earth, whether terrestrial animals or humans. Now only a wall remains with a type of mechanism and some sacred inscriptions that allow hiding and sealing the energy accumulated within that space.
Ji-Yeon Lu knew that once she unlocked the mechanism to enter that space, the residual energy of that space would possibly be released. However, thanks to the guidance she received from her father before leaving, she was given a stone with engraved inscriptions capable of covering an area of 100 meters, preventing the energy from escaping and also preventing any hidden beast in the depths of this forbidden area from attacking us while we recover the Nectar of the Ages.
To be sure, Ji-Yeon Lu asked Min-Ji to help her avoid any unexpected accidents that might occur, as she was not sure if the guards accompanying her could resist the temptation to obtain the Nectar. She knew how powerful her older sister was, but it was better to be safe.
Captain Kazuki and Sub-Captain Hiroshi were given a stone with engraved inscriptions and ordered: "Establish the formation to cover this space." The Captain, Sub-Captain, and the guards were already trained to establish such formations to cover a space, as it was an essential requirement for every cultivator when exploring ruins or spaces, avoiding attacks from ruthless cultivators and hidden beasts nearby.
Without further delay, they drew a symbol in the area using vital energy to cover a 100-meter-long area. They placed the stone in the center of the symbol, and the guards positioned themselves in different places channeling some of their vital energy. The Captain and Sub-Captain did the same, overseeing the stone in the center. Shortly after, a translucent light shot up into the sky covering and surrounding them.
"Elder Sister Min-Ji, watch my back," said Ji-Yeon Lu extending her small hand over a circle inscribed on the rocky wall. A mechanical voice was heard: "Analyzing bloodline… Bloodline correct." A sound like cracking rock was heard as a bright light was released while an unexpected door opened with a strong blow.
An intense light emanated from inside leaving everyone speechless; they had no choice but to close their eyes and wait for the light to dissipate. In just a few seconds, the light faded away but this was just the beginning. Suddenly, energy transformed into an enormous beast resembling a lightning wolf charging outwards. A thunderous roar echoed as the wolf charged towards them.
Ji-Yeon Lu was astonished by this unexpected turn of events but quickly released energy from her attire to protect herself. Thunderous noises and strong winds followed. After a few moments, upon looking again, no one was harmed; it was just remnants of released energy. The guards were shocked by what happened; some almost stopped channeling energy into formation but dared not due to knowing what consequences would follow.
"Ji-Yeon Lu, hurry to collect the nectar and let's quickly leave this area," reminded Min-Ji Lu. Ji-Yeon Lu no longer hesitated as she entered through the door and landed near an enchanting small fountain. Although prepared for this moment, she was still taken aback by her surroundings but had no time to dwell on it; collecting Nectar quickly required focus without room for carelessness.
