a deep breath, slowly exerting strength with his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by a dull and long-lasting sound, the giant, dark gray stone door slowly opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stale, decaying aura rushed out, like years fermenting and accumulating here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air carried a faint dust, which drilled into Lis’s nostrils, causing him to frown slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he sensed no danger, Lis cautiously lifted his foot, stepping one step at a time into the room behind the stone door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the scene before him was drastically different from what he had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This room was rather ordinary, not big in size, and the cramped space gave an oppressive feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walls around appeared mottled, with traces of time leaving deep and shallow marks, silently narrating the vicissitudes of the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faint dust filled the room, dancing wildly in the weak light that filtered through the stone door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis gently waved his hand, dispelling the dust before him to clearly see everything in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But apart from the scattered pieces of broken armor on the ground, the room held nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The armor was rusty, some irreparably shattered, broken pieces strewn casually on the ground, as if showcasing the intense battles that had once happened here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis crouched, picked up a fragment of armor, and examined it meticulously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The armor appeared quite sturdy, its patterns though blurred, still vaguely showed traces of past battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lightly caressed the rust on the armor, feeling the marks time had left on it, and couldn’t help but feel puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouldn’t it be here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he perhaps found the wrong place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this was where he sensed the castle’s most abundant magic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps... the castle’s owner had hidden something?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lis was immersed in his thoughts, his gaze inadvertently swept across the room’s wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wall’s other shore flower patterns instantly captured all his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the patterns on the castle’s exterior walls, these carvings were lifelike, as if each other shore flower held the strength of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the only difference was that the blood-red color of these flowers remained vivid, as if freshly painted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against the backdrop of this stale, decaying environment, the vibrant blood-red color appeared particularly jarring, like a splash of living color from the outside world, carrying an eerie aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis slowly stood up, approached the wall, his eyes fixed on the other shore flower patterns, trying to find clues within them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out, gently touching the wall’s carvings, and the touch was cool and smooth, like touching a piece of warm jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the moment his fingers touched the carvings, an unusual sensation surged within him, as if an invisible force was flowing into his body through his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heartbeat involuntarily quickened, a strange excitement interweaving within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a breeze stirred within the room, carrying a faint scent of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis raised his head alertly, looking around, but found no abnormalities in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the scent of blood grew stronger, as if an invisible source was constantly emitting this aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing this, Lis found the scent of blood growing more intense in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a vampire’s instinct, Lis discovered the scent of blood, though emanating from the wall’s other shore flower patterns, ultimately originated from the stone door he had just opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon this discovery, Lis turned back, once again approaching the gray stone door, observing it carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze locked onto the door before him, akin to an archaeologist examining a precious relic, missing no slight detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began slowly researching the patterns seemingly carved from the stone door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those patterns were intricate, resembling a mysterious scroll, seemingly narrating a story sealed by time and dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Lis noticed the distinct features of the patterns on this stone door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flower patterns on the stone door matched the other shore flower patterns on the castle’s exterior and room walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other shore flower is a flower symbolizing the domain of life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In folklore, it grows by the Nether River’s side, witnessing countless souls’ reincarnations and rebirths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, such flowers exist by the Nether River in the Endless Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby where Lis was born, these peculiar flowers grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the other shore flower patterns carved upon the stone door seemed to bestow the door with an extraordinary mysteriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a river pattern ran from top to bottom through the stone door, traversing the door’s other shore flower field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This river pattern appeared like a wending ribbon, meandering through the flower field, giving a unique feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed a pathway connecting two realms of life and death, or perhaps a long river of time, flowing with endless years and changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other shore flowers bloomed rampantly on both banks of the river, vivid as blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They complemented each other, composing a breathtaking picture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, this river must be the Nether River?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis conjectured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the river and flower field patterns, Lis keenly noticed extremely small Magic Runes.\u003C\u002Fp>",840,"2026-06-03T10:59:04.413Z","2026-06-03T10:59:12.558Z",1,"novelbin.me","1d791fc8e2eb0350045cabfcd92360bff99de6af3f46a971f0d44a4bfd8787d8","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1588","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1587",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
