Chapter 33 - Stuck

Fu Yang hadn't found any ways yet on how to get on the other side. He and Ming Ze were stuck in this room for the whole afternoon.

If Fu Yang was busy looking around for clues, Ming Ze went to shed some gold decorations.

With the amount of gold present in this room, it would take him a couple of years to spend them all.

Looking at Ming Ze busying himself with the Gold, Fu Yang can't help but sigh. That guy was too clueless in their situation. What would the gold do if they couldn't even get out of here?

From what he remembered from the Villagers before, 3 days here means 3 weeks in the outside world. They've been here for four hours already, which means approximately 28 hours in the outside world.

It seems like he wouldn't be able to fulfill his promise to the kids of calling them everyday.

"Sigh, how do we open this door?"

When Ming Ze filled his Spatial Ring with the Gold decorations he took, he went beside Fu Yang.

"Mr. Fu Yang, do you perhaps know where the exit is?"

At the question of Ming Ze, Fu Yang looked at him as if he wanted to kill him.

"We are stuck here."

The words of Fu Yang echoed in Ming Ze's ear. Stuck. They were really stuck in here.

What would be the value of Gold if he couldn't take them out?

"You... Weren't you here before? You must have something that can help us here!"

Ming couldn't help but shout towards the end of his sentence, their current situation was something he didn't expect. Dying through battle was more appropriate for a noble like him, while dying because he was stuck would make him seem like a joke.

At the words of Ming Ze, Fu Yang took out his Aptitude Seeking Mirror and the Cultivation Book. However, there weren't any reactions from the gate.

"Is that all you got? A mirror and a useless book?"

With the thing Fu Yang took out, Ming Ze was in disbelief. He slumped down as if he lost all his hope.

Fu Yang couldn't bear to see Ming Ze's current appearance, he may be influenced by him. He couldn't lose any hope now, he needed to go back to his disciples and son.

He couldn't let this Mystic Realm get him, wasn't he the owner?

'Wait— I am the owner of this Mystic Realm!'

He suddenly remembered the insignia that was tattooed in his chest.

He took off the button of his polo in order to expose the insignia. However, he couldn't see the whole view of the tattoo.

In order to solve that problem, he took his Aptitude Seeking Mirror for a better view.

But he didn't know that as soon as the Aptitude Seeking Mirror was put in front of the insignia, a bright light came from his chest.

Unknowingly, his hand that was holding the mirror moved towards the insignia.

When the bright light suddenly appeared, Ming Ze returned to himself. He looked towards Fu Yang in disbelief.

"So you definitely knew something about this!"

When Fu Yang heard the words of Ming Ze, he looked at him with a confused look.

But before he could open his mouth to give a reply, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

As if there was something pierced onto him.

He put his other hand on the Aptitude Seeking Mirror and used all his strength to pull out the Mirror from himself.

The more the Mirror went near to his chest, the sharper the pain would be.

As he slowly pulled out the Aptitude Seeking Mirror, there seemed to be something attached to it.

When Fu Yang pulled them all out, he heaved a sigh of relief. The pain this time wasn't enough for him to faint.

Ming Ze looked at Fu Yang strangely.

'What is this guy doing? An act of being pierced by a sword?'

Ming Ze didn't see what happened to Fu Yang. He only saw the light suddenly coming from the Aptitude Seeking Mirror Fu Yang showed him earlier.

Ming Ze wanted to laugh at the spectacular performance of Fu Yang, but he recalled that he didn't have any strength right now.

He may be left behind if he laughed at him, so he waited until Fu Yang ended his performance.

After resting a few seconds, Fu Yang looked at the thing he got out from his chest.

It shaped like some sort of key, but where he should put use them to open the gate. It didn't have any keyhole.

Fu Yang looked towards Ming Ze hoping he would be some sort of help to him.

"Ming Ze! Did you see any key hole around?"

Hearing himself being called by Fu Yang, Ming Ze calmed himself down. If he didn't do it, he might laugh as soon as he looked at Fu Yang's face due to his earlier cringe performance.

"Pf—No. I didn't see any key hole."

That was a close call. Fortunately he prevented himself from laughing.

Finding Ming Ze acting strange, Fu Yang went back to study the key. It was as big as his palm with some intricate design at the handle.

As he was weighing the key on his hand by bouncing it, as soon as it hopped out in the air the key continued floating in front of the gate.

When the distance was about a foot, the key suddenly moved to the right as if it was opening something. After it was done, it became a ball of light and slowly returned to Fu Yang's chest.

Fu Yang felt the same warm feeling he felt when his two disciples finished signing the discipleship contract, the only difference was a flashback didn't happen.

When all the process was done, the gate started sounding as if there was some sort of mechanism opening inside.

Hearing the sound, Ming Ze looked surprised.

'Was the gate opening by itself?'
