Chapter 1098 The First Floor



He tried searching for his father\'s imposter, but he couldn\'t find someone like that with just his vision where there were so many others here that he could use to hide behind.

\'He knew me,\' Alex thought. \'How did he know me?\'

Alex had gone out of his way to hide by changing his face, however that didn\'t seem to work at all. His father\'s imposter had seen right through him.

\'The only ones who know about my current face are the 10 elders and Zhu Shaofan. Was it one of them?\' he thought.

He looked around once more, searching for people who were looking at him. It didn\'t look like anyone was looking at him at all.

He quickly reached into his storage ring and pulled out another two pills. One of them got rid of his current face, and the second one gave him a new face.

Since his face had been found, his best course of action right now was to change it and continue moving. The imposter most likely had already moved away from this place after all.

Alex quickly ate the two pills and appeared with a new face that was very plain looking. No one would even pay attention to him with such a face.

Once he was changed, he looked around, wondering what he was supposed to be doing next.

The large stone room was high and wide. The entire room was glowing softly from all around them, giving a somewhat natural light to the place.

The nearly 200-meter-wide circular room had 5 massive open doors that had a curtain of blue light blocking one from seeing what was beyond that point.

Alex looked at the top of each gate and was slightly surprised.

He was told that the various floors had multiple pathways out, each of which was represented by a symbol at the top of the doors that one had to remember to know which one they had entered and which one they hadn\'t.

Alex had been expecting to see the same symbols on top of these gates, but what he saw instead were numbers. One through Five were all on top of the gates, but not a single person there seemed to have realized that.

After all, the words on the gate were written in Human language.

Since this was previously a demon world, Human language was foreign, and the many people that entered here beforehand would only consider these things symbols.

Of course, to a Saint realm cultivator, having something be Symbols instead of numbers didn\'t make it any harder. With this memory, they were able to remember everything in detail.

However, this did tell Alex one thing.

This sanctum was created by a Human, probably the first group of settlers that were brought here along with the four Heavenly beasts.

Alex didn\'t spend any more time on that thought though. It was a matter of the past, and he needed to focus on the present.

Since he didn\'t know which room was which, he went for the one that was numbered 1.

He looked around the room one more time for his father\'s imposter and after not finding him, he entered the room.

As soon as he entered, he heard a jumbled mess of sounds coming at him from every direction. The people in the room moved around, used techniques, and made so much noise that Alex found it hard to focus on anything.

He looked at the people running all around the room trying to catch something that was flying around the room.

His vision slowed down and he noticed that there were multiple small balls of light that flew very unpredictably. As he followed one of them, his vision was led to the floating words in the air that he had missed due to the mess of a room this was.

Capture the Light.

\'Oh, is that how we go through this floor?\' Alex thought. He looked around to see the ball of lights float around once again.

He reached out his hand to grab it, but as he got closer, the small ball of light floated away from him, as if it were repelled by his hand.

He tried again, and once again the ball floated far from him.

Alex frowned slightly. The ball of light wasn\'t very fast and one could easily grab it as long as they were in the Saint realm. However, its ability to push itself off of someone made it hard for anyone here to grab it.

People were running around, but the closer they got, the further the fall would push itself out of their way.

Alex even saw people using techniques to try and keep the ball of light stationary, but that didn\'t work at all.

Alex used his own Qi to test and his result was the same. He quickly ran after the balls of light like everyone else and had to stop after half a minute as it didn\'t work at all.

It was like he was trying to fish for an eggshell that had fallen into his cracked egg. The light constantly moved away from him no matter how fast he got close to it.

"What the hell am I supposed to do?" Alex wanted to shout out in frustration and was even going to. However, no voice came out from him. He was surprised and wanted to see what was happening to him, but of course, his spiritual sense still wasn\'t working at all.

There was something missing with his vocal cords and Alex wanted to force through it to be able to speak.

But before even doing so, the fact that he couldn\'t speak confused him. He had heard plenty of people speaking outside, so it was only this room where people couldn\'t speak at all.

\'Does speaking makes this easier somehow?\' he wondered.

Not everyone in the room was failing of course. Bit by bit, people were leaving the room. Alex didn\'t know how they managed to grab the light, but at least he knew it was possible.

\'They don\'t want us to sense something, that much is understandable. But they don\'t want us to talk too?\' Alex thought. \'Do they not want to let us communicate with each other?\'

As he thought that, a few more people were leaving. Surprisingly, he managed to see one of the people that was leaving.

Alex saw him reach out his hand and grabbed the light very easily. He was surprised and then his eyes narrowed.

\'There has to be a trick to this,\' Alex thought. \'Are they using some technique?\'

He didn\'t have his spiritual sense to see that, but he did have something else that could help him. His Demon eyes.

He activated his eyes with a little hesitant look on his face. With so many hundreds of people, with so many different techniques, the room was most likely going to be filled to the brim with colors that were going to overwhelm him slightly.

Still, he used it, and… the room was surprisingly mostly filled with a milky white color, a representation of the neutral energy.

He was surprised at how much of it there was. He could see the ball of lights as slightly larger white-colored orbs that flew within the milky white energy.

When someone tried to reach for it, Alex saw the white fog come into contact with the color that was being released by the person\'s body and was not mixing together at all.

The white aura rejected any other elemental aura and since the ball of light always stayed in the white aura, it never came into contact with anything at all.

\'I see,\' he thought as he looked at himself. Yellow, Gold, Black, Red, Blue, and Brown auras floated out of his constantly. He couldn\'t help it since his Qi constantly passed through all of his spiritual roots, these aura were constantly created.

\'So if I can get rid of them…\' he thought as he employed his Immortal Concealment technique. The technique didn\'t get rid of his aura, but it did hide it all inside of his body, containing them from leaking.

As he did, he lost the colors that were coming out of him and the white fog slowly floated toward him. Within them were a few of the ball of lights that came in as well.

Alex reached out and easily grabbed the light. The moment he did so, he was teleported away.

Before he could realize it, he was on a floor that looked eerily similar to the first floor. Except, on this one, his spiritual sense naturally flowed out of him.

He could use it.

He carefully spread his senses around the room so as no not to bring anyone\'s attention toward him. He searched for the imposter, but he couldn\'t find the man at all.

He walked towards one of the open spaces and sat down on the stone floor. He decided not to leave this place at all.

After all, anyone on the first floor was going to have to go through this room to go to the next one, so he wanted to intercept the man there.

As long as he got the man, he didn\'t need to bother going through this entire sanctum and could just wait for someone to send him out.
