Chapter 110
There was no hope of lifting Blood Malediction, and Oliver was going crazy trapped in the mysterious
and peculiar stone door. He sat in the empty stone chamber for who knew how long, and outside the
“window,” the sun began to set, darkening the sky.
Oliver looked up at the sunset sky, and in a short while, the sun’s afterglow disappeared, leaving a gray
darkness. Night had fallen.
The luminous pearl on the ceiling emitted a bright light, illuminating the hall, but it only made the silence
more terrifying. Oliver sat there, feeling helpless, and turned his head to look at Golden Eyeball
Sculpture and spiritual jade on the stone tform. Suddenly, he remembered the mantra in Book of
Immortality in the spiritual jade. With nothing else to do, he decided to study the mantra.
The scripture described how to activate energy and transfer energy. Oliver had no interest in such
things because he considered them to be unrealistic elements found only in fantasy novels or fantasy
movies. However, with no other options avable and feeling thirsty, Oliver decided to give it a try.
Oliver wasn’t particrly concerned about himself, but he worried about Sienna, Wayne, Simon, and
Hailey. However, faced with this inexplicable and strange situation, he felt powerless.
Once the feeling of thirst and hunger set in, the danger would elerate its approach. Oliver couldn’t
shake off thoughts of escaping this situation, so he decided to focus on the Book of Immortality in his
mind.
The scripture discussed the activation and transference of energy using one’s senses. One could
absorb spiritual energy in the natural world and transform it into one’s own aura. This “aura” was
Cultivation Aura, and this “energy” was Immortality Energy.
Book of Immortality had several cultivation stages, and the most basic one was to develop a sense of
energy flow. The cultivation of Cultivation Aura was also dependent on one’s foundation,monly
referred to as one’s cultivation foundation or “spiritual root.”
-It was the minimum requirement to learn Book of Immortality. If a person did not possess a spiritual
root, there was no way
to learn the scripture.
After reading the mantra in Book of Immortality, Oliver doubted that he possessed even a fraction of the
required spiritual root. ording to the mantra, even with a spiritual root, the cultivation of energy flow
was not easy for most people.
Approaching the practice with a bored mindset, Oliver followed the instructions in the mantra. After the
first attempt, he felt as if there was a small creature, like a mouse, moving along with his thoughts
inside his chest.
The sensation followed his every thought, and his body felt warm andfortable.
The indescribablefort within Oliver’s body was beyond words. He couldn’t help but continue
practicing. The more he practiced, the more solid andfortable the sensation became
Soon, Oliver opened his eyes and found the sky turning reddish, indicating that it was already morning.
He had practiced the mantra throughout the night, yet it felt like only ten minutes had passed.
As Oliver stood up and stretched, his body made crackling sounds, and he felt light as if he could float
off the ground. Turning his gaze to the stone tform, he noticed that only the Golden Eyeball
Sculpture was there and the spiritual jade had vanished, leaving behind a pile of dust.
“Did the jade turn to dust?” he wondered.
Puzzled, Oliver murmured to himself, searching the hall in every direction and hoping to find a hidden
button or an exit. He felt those waiting outside must be anxious, especially Sienna, Wayne, and Simon.
He also worried about Gunther.
Despite searching meticulously, Oliver couldn’t find any buttons or exits. After a while, he sighed and
approached the stone door, staring at it absentmindedly.
Unexpectedly, as he looked at the stone door, a strange symbol suddenly appeared on its surface.
Oliver couldn’t recognize the pattern that looked like a character and a painting at the same time. It felt
like the runes drawn by exercists in horror movies.
After looking at it for a while, Oliver didn’t recognize the half-lit runes and had no idea of their purpose.
He hesitated for a moment and cautiously reached out to touch them.
When his fingers touched the rune on the stone door, it seemed toe alive. Like a tiny creature, it
burrowed directly into his finger and instantly disappeared inside..
Oliver was startled, but before he could react, his finger unexpectedly “sank” into the stone door!
“Not again!”
Shocked, Oliver suddenly had a hopeful thought. He remembered that he had mysteriously been
swallowed by the stone door and ended up in this hall, unable to find a way out. Now, if he could be
“swallowed” by the stone door again, would it mean that he could pass through it and exit?
Excited and amazed, Oliver didn’t think much and quickly extended his hand into the stone door. As he
expected, his hand sank into the door, followed by his body.
The stone door was like a doorway made of solidified air. He effortlessly passed through it, appearing
outside the door in the
next step.
Outside the stone door, the other eight people were sitting or lying down, looking exhausted.
The closest to the stone door were Wayne, Simon, Sienna, and Hailey.
Wayne and Simon were hitting the stone door with knives and tools, Sienna was caressing the door
while sobbing softly, and Hailey’s eyes were red.
Gunthery motionless while Gabriel murmured softly, but it was unclear what he was saying.
Louis and Yoseph were anxiously looking around the corridor, especially Yoseph, who kept saying,
“Our food can onlyst for three days at most, and the water will only sustain us for one day. If we can
exit through this passage, it’s fine, but we can’t get out through this cursed door!”
Oliver’s sudden appearance went unnoticed by everyone, and they seemed to have lost hope.
Oliver walked over and gently stroked Sienna’s hair. He wiped away her tears with his finger and said
softly, “Sienna, don’t cry. I’m back safe and sound.”
Sienna was taken aback. She looked up and was instantly shocked and delighted. She immediately
embraced him tightly and wouldn’t let go. “Oliver, you jerk. Why did you leave me… I… I don’t know if
this is a dream…”
Sienna cried and sobbed loudly. She didn’t dare to let go of Oliver because she was afraid it was all
just a dream, and if she let go, she would never see him again.
Oliver sighed and said, “It’s not a dream. I’m back safe and sound”

As he looked up, he saw Wayne and Simon staring at him with teary eyes.
The two men were usually resolute and expressionless, never showing their emotions. But this time,
they couldn’t hold back.
Oliver reached out and patted both of them on the shoulder, nodding and saying, “I’m fine.”
Hailey also stared at him with tears strearning down her face, but she didn’t call out to him.
Oliver asked her, “What about your father? How is he?”
Hailey trembled and said with a shaky voice, “My father… H-He coughed up a lot of bloodst night. I-I
don’t know… I… ”
She cried while speaking, and Oliver immediately went over and squatted down to check on Gunther.
Gunther still had faint breathing, and when Oliver touched Gunther’s nose, Gunther slowly opened his
eyes. There was a hint of joy in Gunther’s eyes, but his voice was weak and barely audible. “Oliver…
D-Did you find it?”
