I applied every method I could think of, yet this ancient door remained immovable.
The door radiated a humble appearance, crafted from some unknown material, but its durability surpassed anything I'd encountered—even Black Gold Stone seemed fragile in comparison.
"Maybe there's some secret mechanism to unlock this door?" I wondered.
I immediately extended my spiritual awareness, conducting a thorough investigation to locate any device that might control the entrance.
Sadly, after searching for an entire day, I discovered no such mechanisms.
This situation filled me with dread.
Could I remain imprisoned here forever?
"Never mind." After lengthy consideration, I finally chose to withdraw and focus on training, consuming those beast cores.
If I became powerful enough, maybe I could shatter this barrier.
Though no one could predict what level of power might accomplish this feat, I currently had no alternatives.
