*Zao Gu is in control*
As I slowely arise from the position I had just been sitting in to cultivate, I noticed that I had actually risen more levels than I had expected I would in but 20 hours.
I looked and pondered before realising this was the answer to the question I had been asking myself. I had risen to the peak of the 3rd layer level 3 almost ready to go to the 4th layer. The bottom of my sole only then reached the floor, my thought process had quickened to the level with which my old thoughts were incomparible. I felt quick with my mind but slow with my body.
I then expanded my qi to search the area to see if there was anyone around here. Until I realised that I was in a endless space created by that door. I sensed only the black void. Wall so durable that they could withstand the pressure of a universe imploding on itself. Past that I noticed something, something dark and shady. I felt shivers come down my spine as my qi touched to that creature. "How could something like that exist in this baren wasteland. I noticed than that if I were to ever venture out of this room I would instantly die, not by that creature but by the pressure. The pressure out there was so large I felt even the intangible qi be pulled down. This was a universe ending force. And this was only the pressure sent out by the creature sleeping. I then realised that this creature had a power immesurable by me or anyone else, even by the top 10 of the CCS. Maybe only number 1 and number 0 could even detect his power.
I retracted my qi and opened the door to the inner halls of the door. I walked down the hall to the exit of this door, but then realised that this door had only protected us. I stopped just in front of the door and walked back, now walking toards the alchemy room.
As I entered I noticed it was quite barren as if no one had been here for ages. I looked around and saw, on the table, a large flask no one had probably ever even seen, and if they had they had not touched it. I walked over to it. I looked at it and put it down again, very carefully to not damage it. I walked away toards the other tables in this room and grabbed a chair. I pulled the chair with me toards the table with the flask on it.
I reached toards the flask again and picked it up. I rotated it toards the left and tried to observe the details on the flask but it was completely scratchless and looked like it had never been touched before I touched it. I then rotated it with the cork on the top facing downwards making sure to apply a slight bit of pressure to make sure it does not just accidentally get loose. I noticed one thing was written on the bottom, in a fancy script being slightly bolded by the person who wrote it and slighty sidewards. Every letter being a piece a artist would be proud of. In this script was written.
I peered at the item trying to remember him from my past life, but nothing came to mind. I turned it around again releasing the pressure on the cork sealing the flask. I then wrapped my hand around the flask and put my pinky and my thumb around the cork. I started pulling with my left hand on the top and my right hand right below it.
I stopped pulling after around 10 seconds of the meaningless struggle. I then tossed it to the corner hoping that mayber breaking the flask would open it. As it was about to reach the corner its trajectory changed toards my face, my mind noticed but my body did not as the thing hit me straight in my face. As it hit I felt myself be sent back with a umpfh escaping my mouth.
I stood up and walked toards the table where now the flask was situated again at the exact same location as it had been located at.
