392 391: Connection (Fifth Bonus Chapter)
After assigning several of his thoughts to his stars of consciousness, Corey entered the temple once again.
He stood at the entrance of the temple and then he observed the temple carefully. He reduced the power behind his Eyes of Omniscience so that he would not see the essence of something he was not meant to see.
For instance, the crimson symbols on the walls of the temple.
He could still remember the immense pain he felt when he used his Eyes of Omniscience to look at the void.
After looking around for almost a minute his gaze landed on the altar. At the base of the altar was a glowing palm-sized dark purple stone with six lines on it.
Corey's eyes brightened slightly when he saw the stone. He deactivated his Eyes of Omniscience, and then he approached the altar.
"So this is an ancient stone. It has six lines which means it can be used six times."
Corey curiously observed the dark purple stone in his hands, and after observing it for a few seconds, he put it inside his trouser pockets. When he placed it inside his pocket, part of the pocket transformed into a zip, and the pocket was zipped tight.
"I don't know if the ancient stone would be able to prevent me from getting teleported to a random place if I keep it in my Tri-Pupil Eyes. Even if it doesn't, I can't take the risk."
Despite knowing that every participant was being observed, Corey was not bothered that those observing him could hear what he said.
One of the reasons why he could speak out loud when talking to Nina or when mentioning certain things about his abilities, skills, or even secrets, was because of Nina.
He had previously spoken to Nina about the possibility of people overhearing their conversation if he ever spoke out loud in public or even in private. However, Nina told him that she could prevent any sound from coming out of his mouth, therefore no one would be able to hear him.
Corey shook his head softly, and then he looked around once again.
He walked close to one of the walls, and after thinking about it, he activated his Eyes of Omniscience to observe everything that was happening in the temple, especially the constantly changing crimson symbols on the walls.
Corey planned on recording the symbols, and then he would assign a star of consciousness to decipher what the symbols meant and their functions.
Ten minutes passed, and Corey finally recorded all the crimson symbols.
There were more crimson symbols than he expected, and the more he observed the crimson symbols, the more certain he was that learning the crimson symbols would not be so simple even with his stars of consciousness.
"I guess I should leave."
Although the curious part of Corey wanted to fully explore the temple, he knew that it would be foolish of him to keep on staying in the temple.
Who knew what abomination or danger he might encounter if he stayed in the temple for too long.
Corey stepped out of the temple, and a gentle wind blew his hair and clothes, Corey enjoyed it for a few seconds before he walked to the edge of the mountaintop.
"Wow, this is one damn high mountain," Corey exclaimed as he gazed at the scene at the edge of the mountaintop.
There were multiple mountains and hills around the mountain he was on, however, the majority of these mountains were shorter and smaller than the mountain he was on.
Corey tried to look for any sign of life or danger, however, he saw none or to be more precise, he could not see or perceive anything of the sort from such a height.
"Where do I go now?"
Corey pondered, and then he recalled something important.
"Nina, please in what direction is the Infinity Crystal?"
[An Infinity Crystal is to the north of you. I don't know the exact location.]
[You should be able to sense the Infinity Crystal clearer once you go down the mountain.]
"Oh. Is that so." Corey grinned, and then he walked closer to the edge of the mountaintop, "Let's go down then."
After saying these words, Corey took another step, and then he fell off the mountaintop.
Woosh!
The wind around him howled as he fell, and just when it seemed like he was going to keep on falling without stopping, a platform of hexagonal shapes appeared beneath his feet, and Corey stood in midair.
"Although I'm not flying, being able to walk on air is very cool."
Corey chuckled, and then with a thought, numerous hexagonal shapes appeared in front of him, forming four steps.
This was one of the changes he made to his hexagon barrier, and he loved it.
Corey kept on walking down the mountain through the use of his hexagon nova shield, and as he walked, his dark violet and light blue eyes observed the mountain and his surroundings.
From what he could tell, he was in a region filled with mountains and hills, and he could sense a dense amount of earth elemental energy in the environment.
Apart from the presence of earth elemental energy, he could also sense several energies that were malevolent and evil. Most of these energies came from the mountain that carried the Temple of the Old Ones.
Apart from the presence of various sorts of energies, Corey was mainly looking for any sign of life. However, he found none, and he found it strange and also not strange at the same time.
He would not be surprised if the presence and aura of the Temple of the Old Ones scared off other beasts or abominations.
When Corey crossed halfway through the mountain, his expression experienced a slight change.
He felt a faint connection with something in the distance, and he instantly knew what this connection was.
It was the master-slave connection he had with his slave, Selene.

So, hello everybody. To not make this too long, I actually need help.
So, this month I thought I was going to make some money from Webnovel, but I didn't. For those that don't know, one has to make at least $200 on Webnovel before Webnovel pays, and I made around $150 last month so I didn't get paid this month at all.
To be honest, I'm extremely broke at the moment. Like, I literally have no money, and I'm also owing people money. I'm in debt.
I'll be moving to a new place very soon because of my mandatory youth service, and I don't have any money to rent a place to stay at. I can't borrow money from anybody again because I've already borrowed from all the people I can borrow from.
So, please, if any of you can just please donate gifts to my book, I'll be really grateful.
I need to make $50 dollars before the end of this month so that it can be added to the $150 I made last month, and Webnovel would finally pay me $200, which I can then use to at least rent a place to stay.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
And I just f*cking remembered, at the end of it all, when it comes to gifts, Webnovel takes 75% of whatever gift you donate to my book, which means I f*cking need a total of $200 in gifts... Ah God, what the actual f*ck man!!!
I'm scared honestly, like very very very scared of what would happen when I have to move by the end of the month. How would I survive.
I've never begged for help on this platform before, but please, I really need all your help at this point. I want to write badly, but everytime I want to achieve something in my writing, I always encounter a sort of setback.
So please everybody, and anybody who can please help, please help in whatever way you can. Thank you.
By the way, I'm still going to write all the bonus chapters I promised. I know I'm not in the right state of mind at the moment, but I have to be a man of my word regardless.
