《Asura》Chapter 55-Restrictions
Advertisement
After twenty minutes or so they all arrive near the entrance of the cave. The cave looked to be 10 feet tall and 4 feet wide. There were some trees but that was about it. There was also a huge group of kids surrounding the entrance. They were all dressed in a mix of black, green, and brown. There was a difference of height between the groups in the front and the groups in the back. It seems the older kids were in the front while the younger generation was in the back. There seems to be an invisible barrier blocking out those kids too.
“Quite lively it seems,” Rashu’s voice echoes in Lintian’s head. “This dungeon was probable made by an Ancestor realm expert. This expert is pretty interesting.”
“GOD DAM IT!” roars one of the older kids. He seems to have hit puberty already and his voice sounded a bit manlier than the rest. The crowd unconsciously backs away a couple meters. Master realm qi were exploding out of that kid’s body. Seven swords rose around him and it attacks toward one specific point in the barrier.
“What a waste of energy,” Rashu said casually, “this is an Ancestor realm barrier. A little Master realm child who is not even close to the peak thinks he can break it? Even if there were a thousand of you it be useless.” Rashu laughs.
What! That powerful? Lintian was thinking.
Of course haha this is the difference between a child out of the womb and an adult warrior!
Child out of the womb? Lintian questions, what does that mean?
……………………………… I meant to say its like a little child like you without qi going up against an adult warrior whose trained all his life to fight.
Oh, Lintian replies. Then out of the corner of his eyes he saw someone enter through the barrier. This kid was a little bit taller than him but he doesn't seem to have hit puberty.
“Whose that just walked in?” Lintian and Xintong asks in unison.
“How am I suppose to know?” Mieyun said irritated. They were all wearing mask and were dressed in the same color.
Then another kid tried to walk through too. BANG! Once he touched the barrier he was sent flying back.
Mhmm interesting Rashu hums.
“Whats going on?” Lintian asks out loud.

“I don’t know,” the tall skinny boy replied, “I think boy that entered might be Danny. He’s in the 4th of the Martial realm too.”
Hahaha its his age that lets him go in, Rashu transmitted.
His age? Lintian asks.
Yes, this is a restriction barrier. From the looks of it the barrier will block out any cultivators that hit puberty. If you are in the titan realm you can break it no problem or get around 10 Ancestor realm practitioners together.
“Hey so guys I think it has to do with age. Those kids in the front looks older than the ones in the back. The one that entered looks younger too,” Lintian reports out.
“Thats really good observation,” Meiyun compliments.
“Should we go meet them or keep hiding in the bushes?” Lintian asks curiously.
“You keep hiding and Xingxing will come with us to find out new information.”
“Fine.”
In a couple seconds the four of them left and Lintian was left in the bushes.
Lintian watched them like a hawk. He saw Xintong and her groupies blend into the crowd. There was only one entrance so Lintian couldn't sneak around and into the dungeon.
If you're thinking about sneaking in wait until night time, Rashu muses.
Why night time?
Easier to move around.
I think if I use the Dancing Moonlight body skill and my Emperor’s steps I can move behind the barrier before them.
Mhmm I guess it doesn't matter if you go now or later. Watch out for people above the seventh of the Martial realm if you see those run. I wish I can use my powers to help you but sadly I can’t in here.
Its fine I can’t always depend on you.
Good boy lets get started.
Rashu get inside the box, Lintian commanded and Rashu did as he was told.
Lintian focuses all his qi throughout his body and then begins to sprint toward the barrier.
Some of the older kids noticed a fluctuation of qi. They thought it might be a demonic beast and their qi shot up through the roof. They saw a black figure in streaking towards them.
“STOP HIM!” one of them yelled.
“Why?” another one asks.
“Because….”
“Lintian?” Xintong whispers under her breathe the moment she saw the shadow.
Three figures attacks Lintian thinking he was a threat. Lintian uses the Emperor’s steps to avoid everything. The attackers were only in the third of the Martial realm. Lintian didn't even a sense of danger. He disappears instantly. Then he was in the middle of the crowd swimming through it like a fish in water. Lintian’s eyes were able to coordinate every single person here.

Lintian’s hand touches the barrier and his hand slips through. Then to be completely safe he used the Emperor’s steps to move through the barrier faster.
“Got through.”
Lintian looks around and saw a cave.
“STOP!” Lintian heard some voice yell but he didn't give no f*ck and went into the dungeon. The moment he steps into the cave 30 formation appears and began to rotate.
Relax its a teleportation spell. It only works up to 20 meters. Rashu said mentally.
Seconds later Lintian was in a completely new room. It was black. The only source of light were a couple of torches. Lintian looks around and saw that the black walls have some sort of marking to them. Weird line patterns that formed into formations. The lines forming the formation were distinct black that was darker than the rest of the wall.
Rashu appears in spirit form next to Lintian.
“My god it was stuff in there,” Rashu said stretching his body.
“Why didn't you appear in this form outside?” Lintian asks.
“I can’t,” Rashu said calmly. “In here the walls will redirect all the spiritual conscious energy back into my soul and I can collect it therefore I won’t lose any energy.”
“I have no idea what you just said but it is cool,” Lintian said wide eyed as he walks out of the dark room and into the hall way. The hallway was also black with white lining this time. After walking for a bit he came into a large room with three passages. One has red lining another had white lining and the last one had yellow lining.
“What passage should I take?” Lintian asks.
“Mhmm,” hums Rashu, “I like the color yellow lets take yellow.”
“Okaayyy…” I could've done that myself Lintian thought as he walks toward the yellow passage. After walking for a minute or two Lintian finally arrives in front of an entrance to a large room. This is a pretty big dungeon Lintian thought.
“Nope this dungeon is small. Normally these dungeons are at least 50 kilometer big.”
“You can still hear my thoughts? Even when out here?”
“Yes, since I am still connected to the ring and your dream orb.”
“Oh cool,” Lintian said as he walks through the entrance. As he walks through he saw a table in the middle. There were also two wall cages on each side of the wall.
CREAK! RUMBLE!
Lintian turns around and saw that the walls were coming down. It was a nice and slow descend. Lintian had a chance to go back but decided to stay.
“Lintian its fine if you run back now you will defiantly die. Hey you know what they say the greater the danger the greater the reward.” Rashu said.
“Aye aye boss,” Lintian smiles. He understood perfectly.
Lintian jogs a but toward the desk in the middle. There was what looks like a keyhole and a couple of sentences in some foreign language.
“Rashu what does it say? I can’t read it.”
“It says, welcome to my Neverland dungeon young one. In this dungeon there are many treasures. If you want those treasure you must have the ability to grab it. There will be three tests. Each test harder than the other. It will be a test that can only be achieve by children under 12. The first test.
What force and strength cannot get through, I with a gentle touch can do. And many in these twisted halls would stand were I not as a friend, at hand.
To find me thou shall look in the deepest and darkest of all. I destroy and life spring forth. All Living beings must have I or thous will die,” Rashu said out loud.
Lintian heard everything but he was still trying to process it. Lintian thought the first one was obvious. Since there is a keyhole in the middle of the stone so it is defiantly a key that he needs. As for where to find it.
“Key,” Lintian murmurs and then began to decode the second riddle.
CREAK! Growl!
Lintian instantly turns around and the cage began to open up. An ominous aura began to leak out. Lintian’s back instantly stiffened.
“Master realm aura,” Lintian whispers in fear. 5 pairs of deadly eyes in each cell.
ROAR!

Humanity enters the galaxy and makes First Contact, only to begin to realize that not everything is at it seems. It appears that the galactic alien community has forgotten to invent some rather important economic concepts that human civilization has taken for granted.

And as the galaxy falls apart at the seams, it's up to the best and brightest in humanity to put things back together. Story contains a lot about markets, logistics, development, and the best and worst of human history. Not so much Space Marines nuking aliens. If you enjoyed the trade negotiations and Senate politics in the Star Wars prequels, and wished that there was an entire standalone story consisting solely of those parts, this might be for you!
