This is the world of the Fierce Ghost! Such an elixir is essentially no different from a real Immortal Pill.
All Lords would be eager to get their hands on it!
Thinking of this, he became even more eager to meet the Magic Cube Dragon.
However, the notification he imagined would come in a few minutes never arrived.
Wu Liang and Nightmare waited inside this mansion for more than an hour, yet Nightmare No. 2 did not appear again.
The initial enthusiasm was now a stark contrast to the present coldness.
This made the corners of Wu Liang's mouth involuntarily curl into a smile.
He stood up and walked toward the door of the room, gently pushed it open with his hand.
The door originally led to a long corridor, but now it turned into another room.
From that room, Wu Liang saw a figure identical to himself opening the door in front of him, revealing yet another room with the same content.
In an instant, the rooms beyond the door were arranged like an infinite loop, with countless Wu Liangs opening doors, then seeing themselves opening the next door.
He raised an eyebrow and looked back; the once luxuriously decorated wall was gone for who knows how long, leaving only the front of another room, which also held a version of himself looking back, discovering the numerous Wu Liangs turning around.
"Interesting, the front and back space of this house have been connected, I bet the windows are the same."
Saying this, Wu Liang gestured for Nightmare to go and open a window.
When it was opened, indeed, there were countless Nightmares continuously opening windows.
This room no longer had an exit to the outside world.
Any passage would ultimately lead back inside the room.
This reminded Wu Liang of a little game he once played, where the controlled character would reappear from the other edge of the screen if moved to the screen's edge.
But the game always had a condition for completion; the room in front of him did not.
"They're giving us a show of strength! Wouldn't it seem impolite not to respond?" Wu Liang said with a smile.
Then he walked to the center of the room, holding a straightforward Mist Sword in his hand.
He took a deep breath, recalling a question he once discussed with Director Long—
It was when the other was absorbing the Immortal Pill of Undying in Apang Palace, a subject that Wu Liang asked out of curiosity.
Since he didn't have any spatial abilities, he asked Director Long what to do if trapped in a special spatial range without using Spatial Ability to escape.
The answer was vivid: "A special space is like a cardboard box; the folded edges of the box are inherently weaker than other places, thus spatially unstable. For instance, if I open a space portal, the inside of the door is quite stable, but the frame of the door is very susceptible to damage."
"And when you're within a space, every move you make causes spatial ripples. In essence, if the attack strength is sufficient, it can create ripples that space cannot contain. The simplest way is superluminal speed; it can easily break spatial constraints and rush out of the current space with an uncatchable posture."
"Simply put, hit hard at the weak point in space!"
"Provided you can identify where the weak point is."
Hearing Director Long's description back then, Wu Liang laughed.
Now, within the Infinite Room, Wu Liang laughed again.
He then thrust the Mist Sword in his hand straight toward the wall's corner of the room.
The corners of the room are where the cardboard box is most folded.
This seemingly nonchalant strike contained the essence of the Kitchen Knife Ghost, and with Wu Liang channeling all his power into it, he even utilized the Ghost Compendium's Modify reality ability to temporarily reduce the friction on the Kitchen Knife Ghost's surface to nearly nonexistent.
The moment it pierced the room's corner, in some sense, it completely defied any physical laws that could be studied in the world.
After all, this state was caused by Modify reality, which, even if existing for just a moment, made Wu Liang's complexion pale slightly.
Crack—
Accompanied by the most powerful thrust of the Kitchen Knife Ghost hitting the folded corner of the room.
A bizarre cracking sound erupted within the house.
Boom—
The next moment, like the sound of shattering glass reverberating throughout the house,
There was clearly a sensation of everything around breaking, but when Wu Liang and Nightmare looked around the house, nothing seemed broken, as if something invisible was collapsing.
Meanwhile, the infinitely looping scene in the front and back of the room completely shattered.
Soon after, what appeared was a normal back wall and a bandaged weirdo standing outside the door.
The spatial box of the Infinite Room was broken!
Clap clap clap—
The bandaged weirdo stood outside the door, clapping as he walked in, exclaiming, "Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"
"I never thought someone could break this Infinite Room without any Spatial Ability."
"Initially, I only intended to observe your reactions upon realizing you could never escape, but didn't expect you would teach me a lesson! As expected of the 'amnesiac' Lord capable of altering the balance in Dragon City as mentioned by Nightmare!"
At the mention of "amnesiac," it was clear the weirdo heavily stressed the pronunciation, obviously not believing such an absurd reason.
As soon as the words fell, he raised a Strange Sword also wrapped in bandages.
Pointing at Wu Liang, he asked, "But doesn't your ability make Fierce Ghosts lose their senses? Where did that space-breaking force come from earlier? What is your purpose in coming to Dragon City?"
At this moment, the room's atmosphere tensed to the point the air seemed to solidify.
It seemed as if any problematic answer from Wu Liang would trigger an attack.
Facing the weirdo's aggressive stance, Wu Liang grinned and said, "All Fierce Ghosts speak of Dragon City's Lord's harmony and friendliness, yet never expected you to be so overbearing and unreasonable. How do you plan to uphold the order the 'First Emperor' imposed? Such elixirs given to you are truly a waste."
Rumble—
The table near Wu Liang suddenly collapsed, the exceptionally long, exquisite wooden table vanished in an instant, completely swallowed by a spatial rift.
The bandages around the weirdo's Strange Sword slowly slid off, revealing numerous blood-red eyes on its blade, each one fixated unnervingly on Wu Liang.
The weirdo also tore the bandages from his face, revealing cold, vertical pupils.
He sternly questioned, "Who exactly are you? How do you know my relationship with the First Emperor?"
This was something not even his near-lord-level subordinates in the city knew, and he never spoke of it, not even to Nightmare, the most loyal Fierce Ghost to him.
How did this guy in front of him know?
"Because, I have a relationship with the First Emperor." Wu Liang said calmly.
With those words, Wu Liang took an Immortal Pill of Undying from his pocket.
At this moment, the Magic Cube Dragon appeared stunned.
Even the Strange Sword in his hand lowered slightly.
Then its draconic vertical pupils emitted a ghostly black glow, exclaiming in disbelief, "The First Emperor bestowed upon me eyes that discern truth from lies, and what you just said was true! How can that be!"
By now, Wu Liang understood why it had been on edge from the start; it must have used whatever truth-discerning eyes it had to realize that his amnesia and even his Fierce Ghost identity were false.
Yet it was peculiar why the First Emperor valued the Magic Cube Dragon so much, even giving such high-level items as the Immortal Pill of Undying.
Wu Liang saw that if those eyes could directly ascertain the truth of a statement, bypassing mental and spiritual channels, they weren't ordinary.
Being one of the Venerables who launched the "War of Chaos," why would the First Emperor covertly intervene through Dragon City?
Such treasures could change the balance of circumstances.
What is the First Emperor scheming?
