Chapter 395 - 364 Infinite
Clang!
Sikong Lan’s mind was shaken, he lost his balance, fell forward, and his knee hit the stone box.
Rumble——
The entire stone chamber shook violently, as if experiencing an earthquake; fortunately, Li Cheng and Zhang Fulu quickly pressed against the stone box, stopping the tremor.
’Desires are not born, the mind naturally calms. When the mind is calm, the spirit is undisturbed.’
Zhang Fulu silently recited the Clear Heart Technique to calm himself down, then slowly released his grip on the stone box, "Everyone stop moving; this box is precisely the stone chamber we are in."
Sikong Lan grabbed his hair and gritted his teeth, "What exactly is this thing?"
"In a sense, you can think of it as a three-dimensional ghost maze, or a paradoxical space."
Li Cheng calmly said, referring to paradoxical space as those structures detached from spatial logic, impossible in the real world, like the infinitely ascending Penrose stairs, or the endless staircase artwork by Dutch printmaker Escher,
an artistic style that greatly influenced later works like the movie ’Inception’ and the video game ’Monument Valley’ among others.
"From the outside of the stone chamber, looking at our three heights, the ratio of the two nested spaces is approximately 14:1, which roughly matches the ratio of the stone chamber to the stone box."
