My Apocalypse Territory
Chapter 518 - 467: I Have a Unique Gate-Opening Skill (5000 Words Mega Chapter)_3

As a Transcendent, unsure at the periphery, they hesitated for a moment, not daring to strike against the "Cultural People" Alliance again. Annoyed, they unleashed a surge of Source Power towards other approaching figures—those who saw an opportunity to follow behind the Alliance and get close to the Sky-reaching Tower were immediately thwarted.

...

A group of people were held at the gate by the restrictions of the Sky-reaching Tower.

As a core structure in Holy City and the former residence of a Saint, the Sky-reaching Tower was also one of the few places in the city where access couldn't be gained simply by the lines on the back of one's hand.

Trying to force the gate open, multiple attacks ensued but not even a ripple was stirred—despite the passage of time consuming much of its energy, this restriction was still not something these Transcendents could break—even if they bombarded it for ten days and nights.

Tang Yu developed a headache.

Unless they went around to the other side of the Sky-reaching Tower, to an area that had been damaged with no restrictions, it would be very difficult to enter.

But if they were to go around to the other side, he was certain they would be bombarded with a violent storm of attacks.

As a man of culture, Lord Tang opted to approach the main gate and turned his head to look at the Transcendents of the Mage Alliance... As the research-oriented intellectuals in attendance, surely they had a method, right?

A glance revealed including the Chief Elder, eight Great Mages, studying the gate's enchantments and admiring them as if on a pilgrimage.

Translated into more grounded terms, that would be:

"666!"

"Strong! Unbeatably strong!"

"So runes can be drawn this way!"

"To think I would encounter such a profound restriction in my lifetime, I have no regrets now!"

Tang Yu felt a headache forming, suddenly feeling that the members of the Mage Alliance might be unreliable.

He moved forward to inquire.

Chief Elder Oldington shook his head, "The restriction is too profound, even given ten years, I might not fully comprehend it, let alone break it."

Tang Yu looked disappointed.

He opened his "Insight Eye" and saw its true nature, however, the numerous energy nodes intersecting appeared before him like garbled code.

Dizzy.

Don't understand.

Can't do it!

"The array setup in Holy City has its own system, if we could learn this system, perhaps there would be a slight possibility of breaking it. There should be books like that in the library of the Cultivator Academy, unfortunately, by the time we got there, the entire library had been completely emptied."

The Chief felt extremely regretful, especially considering the current circumstances, it seemed likely they wouldn't be able to enter the Sky-reaching Tower either.

Only by studying this beautiful restriction could he find some solace for his troubled soul.

Tang Yu felt a bit guilty.

Wasn't he the one who had emptied the library?

Then he realized... I copied the library fairly, why should I feel guilty? There's no way I could bring out any of those books, not a single one, seeing as these Mage Alliance fellows only know how to shout "666", even if I produced the relevant books, they wouldn't be able to break the Sky-reaching Tower's door restriction in a short time.

Besides, there were so many books, all packed in boxes and sent back to the Territory, but eying how these people yearned for knowledge, maybe I could...

Images immediately surfaced in Tang Yu's mind of him holding a fishing rod, dangling books above a group of Great Mages hopping around like fish below... a simply eye-searing sight!

He cleared his throat.

Pointing at one of the several rune intersections where the energy reaction was strongest, he spoke profoundly, "Mages, you might want to consider this spot, if we can alter the flow of rune energy here, we might be able to weaken the restrictions in this area."

Oldington looked where Tang Yu was pointing, stared for a few seconds, rapidly calculated in his mind, and after a moment, his eyes lit up and he looked at Tang Yu differently.

I hadn't expected such incisive and unique insights from you, young man.

Tang Yu smiled without a word, paused, then analyzed a few other energy nodes.

In terms of rune studies and array studies, even though he wasn't sure of Oldington's level, he knew his own capabilities... surely not as high.

However, in terms of insights, Tang Yu didn't think he fell far short.

A "Basic Rune Studies" book was treasured by Kevin, and later on, he had perused "Intermediate Rune Studies," "Intermediate Array Studies," and other books. Even in the Holy City library, the Rune Language Books he had briefly scanned through did not present certain lines and codes as completely as those he had at hand.

Some basic, but obscure points of knowledge completely befuddled Oldington.

Added with the "Insight Eye," Oldington completely regarded Tang Yu as a peer, if not even higher in mastery.

"Master Tang is amazing..."

"Old Alt, you're pretty good yourself, it's just your knowledge is a bit narrow. I have quite a few books on rune languages in my territory, feel free to visit and read anytime!"

Oldington was touched inside.

However, after all, he was an old man who had lived for hundreds of years. Despite being somewhat naive from being a homebody, he wasn't fully trusting of Tang Yu's words.

He still maintained a certain level of vigilance.

Understanding that one must always leave some room for others' imaginations in conversation, Tang Yu timely closed his mouth.

He walked up to the door restriction and pondered for a while.

'Using the "Insight Eye" to capture the general weak points of the door restriction, coupled with Nancy's powerful attacks, may break through the restriction.'

However, he suddenly had a new idea.

Coming out of his reverie, Tang Yu pulled out a stack of Return City Scrolls, sticking them onto the door's energy screen, and it actually worked.

"It's as expected, the screen is nothing but solidified energy, and the door restriction is its own independent system..."

The Sky-reaching Tower's main door was over a dozen meters wide, and it was just a side door.

After plastering seven or eight Return City Scrolls, Tang Yu stepped back, rubbing his hands.

Oldington watched this scene, found it strange.

Breaking the restriction, whether by brutal force or by skill, always involved disrupting its energy; he had never seen tool-based breaking before.

Could these scrolls be weakening the restriction? Or causing energy disruption, thereby better observing the flaws in the restriction? Or perhaps...

One idea after another surfaced in his mind.

Just then, those scrolls lit up with a dim halo, like bubbles converging to form an even larger bubble, enveloping the entire side door.

The next moment,

Whoosh.

Oldington's eyes bulged, and his beard almost flew off.

"Where's the door restriction?"

"How did even the main door disappear?!!"

Looking at Tang Yu again, his heart was storming with amazement, thinking about such a master agreeing to open up his collection of books, he felt deeply ashamed for his earlier doubts.
