“Well then, it’s time to move further” Mo Fan got up as he patted the dust off from his pants.

He turned towards the door and looked at Little Loach. It was after all mesmerizing to watch energy being absorbed inside it. But this time there was no response from it.

“.... Hey, What’s wrong? Hurry up and absorb it, I can’t move forward if you don’t absorb it!” Mo Fan said in an annoyed and impatient way.

Truthfully he didn’t want to stay outside near the dark void. He was scared of it. The space near the door was only around one metre long.

Little Loach remained silent. After all it had already absorbed the energy from the Talismans.

“Oh Come on... I can’t even touch them if you can’t extract that glowing misty energy out of them.... Huh? Why am I able to touch them?” Mo Fan said while banging on the door.

On the previous door, he was not even able to touch the Talismans, but for this door the moment he banged his hand on the door, not only was he able to touch them but one of the talismans fell down.

“huh...?” Mo Fan was dumbstruck as to how it was possible.

Because no matter what, the Talismans on this door was extremely extravagant than the previous ones and the quantity was also huge.

......

The Talismans used for each door differed in grades. The first Talismans were for Basic Mages to open. The second for Intermediate Mages, The third for Advanced Mages and This fourth was for Super Mages.

This mechanism was made specifically for Mages of equivalent levels to the floor to overcome the difficulty of each Dungeon floor.

But Mo Fan was cheating! He had little loach with him! It didn’t matter if he was the weakest or the strongest, since all the energies no matter how insignificant they are will be absorbed by this wonderful pendant!

This Floor type dungeon was specifically made to overcome the Totem Challenge. There are 4 Dungeons similar to this in this world. All made by the respective Totem Guardians of the Sacred Totem Beasts five thousand years ago, since they knew their fate was sealed already. The only Totem which didn’t had a tomb was the Mystical Rainbow Phoenix God which had scattered to places unknown to humans.

This Dungeon which Mo Fan was in, was made to overcome the challenge and become the Totem Guardian of Sacred Azure Dragon.

The last level of this Dungeon’s treasure was exactly the same pendant which Mo Fan was wearing right now. It was indeed a challenge suitable for future master of The Sacred Azure Dragon.

As the Talismans on the door and the stairs leading to the next door were made with extremely dangerous mechanism.

Every time one of the Talismans are removed, some of the Mana of the Mage will decrease permanently. Not only that but the difficulty of removing the next Talisman will increase by 2%. But of course at the last treasure room all the mana will be given back and also the capacity will increase by 50%!

The removal of the talismans itself was extremely difficult even for the mage of equivalent level, it will require a lot of Stamina, Strength and Mental Strength to just remove one of them.

The stairs leading to the next door were also very tricky. Once you step on the stairs, no matter what you cannot head back the way you came from, and the stairs itself disappears after every step taken. Also you have to cross them within 3 minutes or all of them will disappear and you will fall to your death.

The dungeon also had a magic sealing formation. You can cast the spells but you won’t be able to fire them out of your body. That was the main reason why Mo Fan was not able to use his spells even though he could cast them.

Old Man Ying was the guardian of Azure Dragon’s real Tomb and also the supervisor of this dungeon. But for reasons unknown he had no interests in being the guardian of the tomb of a dead creature.

Since he was the guardian he knew about shortcuts of the dungeon. He stole Little Loach from the last layer and somehow left the magic world.

It is still unknown as to how he was able cross over between two exact same worlds.

After arriving in the new world he found Mo Fan after a few years and decided to let him have the pendent since he knew it was a totally meaningless item in this world and also that he was going to die soon.

He had miscalculated the fact that Little Loach would be able to crossover worlds as well with a little bit of energy! After all Little Loach or Azure Dragon was at the Creator Magic God level. There’s no way he couldn’t do what a human was capable off.

......

“I see.... So this guy already absorbed the energy inside them huh... What a cunning little creature is this guy, even though it’s just a small loach.” Mo Fan said while flicking little loach.

He was kind of astounded that it would do things behind his back like this and not explain it.

_But well what kind of explanation am I even hoping for from a magic tool?_ Mo Fan questioned himself in his thoughts as he chuckled at the stupidity of his question.

He removed all the Talismans and put them inside his Space Ring. After all the higher grade Talismans had rich amount of Dark Material than the previous ones.

“Now then, let’s level up!” Mo Fan exclaimed.

He pushed the grand doors open with both of his hands. He was kind of excited as to what he was going to find out next!
