A Key And Shell

Lin Mu was a bit taken aback by the entire series of events. From what Kong Hutao's spirit portrait had said, there would be a test for him, but now it seemed to be far different from before.

Lin Mu's vision returned to the same ruins as before and he understood that whatever the test was, it was now over.

"That's it? I thought it would be a bit more difficult than that." Lin Mu muttered.

It was even more perplexing for him since there were so many skeletons and remains around the ruins showed that whatever the test was, it was far more dangerous than this. Plus, the formation arrays were rather complex as well.

"Seems like you being the world's ordained was enough to bypass the test." Xukong spoke.

"Perhaps…" Lin Mu muttered and looked towards the coffin, which had started to move.

~CREAK~

The coffin started to slide and a staircase was revealed below it.
