The floor caved in, revealing a moderately-sized passage.
A faint golden light flickered between Chen Ping'an's brows. After a brief scan confirmed there was no danger, he leaped into the passage.
Once inside, Chen Ping'an discovered the passage was far longer than he'd imagined. It didn't lead to the secret chamber he'd expected at all.
The passage sloped downward, looking immeasurably deep. Chen Ping'an didn't rush straight down. Instead, he looked around and, just as he expected, found a circular ring mechanism.
Chen Ping'an turned it gently. The sunken section of the floor above slowly rose, returning to its original position.
With that done, Chen Ping'an followed the passage downward. It was pitch-black inside, but his perception was so astounding that he could proceed without any light.
'What a massive undertaking. I wonder how much effort this took!' Chen Ping'an mused as he walked through the passage.
