Xukong carefully tried to read the runes but found most of them to not make much sense. A vast majority of them had been destroyed, and thus they could not really be read anymore. Lin Mu tried to read it as well and could only make out some basic words.

But even then, the uncomfortable feeling that he was feeling was not dissipating and was still the same. Thinking of a solution, Lin Mu started chanting the calming heart sutra and a few seconds later felt much better. The uncomfortable feeling could not affect him anymore.

"Let's see what is here, there's bound to be something if it can make me feel like this." Lin Mu said before walking ahead.

A few minutes later he could smell the foul stench in the air again. He saw that he had reached a point where the tunnel branched into multiple parts. There was one of them that was the biggest in size and was also giving out the feeling of discomfort, while one of the other branches was where the foul stench was coming from.

The remaining tunnels had no effect on him, and he didn't particularly find them unique.

"Which one do we head to first?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Hmm, let's go to the one that is the biggest one." Lin Mu decided after a few moments.

Lin Mu walked ahead and saw that the runes that were carved into the walls were much more degraded than the previous parts. He touched the walls and could feel they were steeped in that uncomfortable aura. But even then the main source of that was quite ahead.

It took him about five minutes to reach the end of the tunnel. This was where the uncomfortable aura was the strongest, nearly ten times as much as when he first felt it. But now Lin Mu could not proceed anymore, for there was a large wall in front of him. This wall also had runes that had deteriorated with time carved on it.
