Mystery upon Mystery, the Door of Myriad Mysteries
The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!
However, everyone was now more curious about what was happening inside.
Once the boss inside is defeated, this place truly belongs to them.
The deeper you go, the more amazed everyone's eyes become.
The "Gate" is a divine object that seizes the creation of heaven and earth, not an evil object that breeds demons and monsters. Its surroundings can only give rise to Immortal Spirit Grotto-Heaven, not a Monstrous Fiends dungeon.
All the possible scenarios Qin Yi had imagined over the past few years were wrong.
This "cave" can truly serve as a ready-made cave abode, and it is even more perfect than many cave abode that monks deliberately create.
The spatial layout is interconnected and clearly generated according to the Sixty-Four Trigrams. Qin Yi could even imagine at a glance what each place was used for: planting spirit medicine, raising spiritual beasts, refining pills and making artifacts, meditating in meditation, appreciating the wind and moon, and even places specifically for making talismans. Each place had the most suitable terrain, the most suitable flow of Spiritual Qi, and the right timing of Earth Fire, and heaven.
Yes, there is Earth Fire and Void Lightning. All five elements are present, and the three realms intersect.
Looking up, one can see faint stars, but this is not the real sky. Rather, it is the boundless Spiritual Qi that forms an alternative celestial order, naturally operating according to the celestial pivot's ritual.
There is a wind, its origin and destination unknown.
Water flows along the cave ceiling and walls, pooling together to form a pond.
Qin Yi strongly suspected that if this place were given another billion years, it would become the world itself.
He could clearly feel the convergence of different dimensions; the plane shift that had been lost due to the collapse of the Netherworld Realm was faintly manifested here.
If you walk to the very center of the cave, you will see a strange rock.
Like a section of stone pillar remaining after a huge Stone Archway has shattered. At first glance, the texture looks somewhat like white marble. It is square-shaped, about three feet in diameter and three feet in height... It looks like a big drum at first glance, quite cute.
Irregular cracks can be seen at both the top and bottom, clearly indicating that it is a section in the middle of a very tall square column.
But this gap was much larger than Qin Yi had expected.
After all, what he had obtained before was only the size of a fingernail, and even what Dragon Soul had preserved was only the size of a billiard ball... but here came a huge mound three feet thick and three feet tall! This sudden leap almost caught him off guard.
No wonder, it is precisely because of its vast size that this place has been gradually transformed into something so mysterious.
The stone pier is engraved with mysterious patterns that can captivate the eye at a glance. You can sense the endless wonders of nature contained within, yet you cannot see them clearly, grasp them, or reach out to touch them, but they vanish like a mirage, leaving no trace.
This is the Principle of Heavenly Dao, which cannot be understood at this time.
Ju Yunxiu and Li Qingjun stared blankly, clearly immersed in the search for the Dao, unable to snap out of their daze for a while.
Qin Yi, having been in contact with fragments of the door for a long time, was able to resist the temptation and his gaze shifted to other things first.
Beneath the stone pier lay a skeleton, crushed beyond recognition. The so-called remnant soul was clearly the remains of this skeleton... Judging by its appearance, could it be that after the "gate" collapsed, a piece of it fell here and crushed the skeleton to death?
So unlucky?
Liusu explained at the right moment, "This person wasn't unlucky enough to be crushed to death here; he was hit and flew thousands of miles before landing here."
Qin Yi considered the location; this place was probably several thousand miles away from Immortal Trace Village.
"Did you smash it?"
"Um."
"Really..."
"He wasn't originally a Qian Yuan, but a Wu Xiang in his previous life. He was in a similar situation to me, beaten down to only a trace of Fetal Light, and slowly recovered to this level over tens of thousands of years with the help of the energy of the gate. It took me tens of thousands of years to recover to the level you bullied, but he, without doing anything, actually recovered to the Qian Yuan level." Liusu's tone was extremely displeased.
Qin Yi didn't dare say anything. He had really bullied it quite a bit by stuffing it into the foot bath water back then. He could only cautiously play the straight man, saying, "What's the use of him recovering so much? You still swallowed him whole."
"That's right, I have the protection of the stick..." Liusu realized she had let something slip and quickly corrected herself, "In a battle on the soul level, he's far inferior!"
"..."
The two were still communicating in a whispered Divine Sense, which shows that Liusu still did not want others to know its origin.
Let's just be a Little Ghost.
Liusu glanced at the two women and quietly added, "Have you noticed the space here?"
Qin Yi said, "I noticed that the space has a sense of overlapping dimensions, as if different timelines are revolving around it."
"I'm certain that the distortion of the rules in the Land of Chaos is related to it," Liusu said. "Such a large fragment, carrying the Principle of Heavenly Dao, crashed into this area thousands of feet underground, causing the rules to become disordered. This resulted in subtle differences south of the rift valley, with yin and yang reversed, water and fire opposed, and directions disordered. But soon the crater it created was restored and concealed by itself, and no one could find the reason."
"That's conceivable, but what does it have to do with space?"
"Since the rules are subtly disordered, space is naturally also affected by this tension," Liusu said. "This is the very center point, connecting many planes. As long as you can find the trajectory, you might be able to instantly reach any plane, including finding a passage to the other side of the distant sea."
Qin Yi's eyes widened. "Really?!"
"Hmm... it requires cultivation. You definitely can't do it now, but Qian Yuan might be close..."
"That's like saying nothing at all," Qin Yi said irritably. "My current goal is Huiyang."
Liusu smiled slightly, "Huiyang, such a large fragment... no, such a stone pillar is nothing. What you need to consider is how many years it will take."
Qin Yi fell silent, staring blankly at the stone pillar.
Countless insights truly resonated within his mind— Principle, even Cultivation Method, everything imaginable, and each person's understanding and comprehension differed. Qin Yi knew that the woman from the Sword Pavilion didn't know any Ghost Cultivator methods, yet she used them to achieve enlightenment, even mastering forbidden techniques like the "Thousand Wrath Ghost Devour."
She's only experiencing it from outside the door... What about up close? How terrible would the effect be?
Qin Yi could vaguely understand what kind of environment Liusu and the others, who were called "those closest to the Dao at the source," were born from.
As things stand, the fragments are the most terrifying cheat code in the world; only the complete door can surpass it. That's something even Liusu fought over back then.
If you can't break through to the Huiyang realm using this, then don't even mention anything else...
"So what exactly is this door?"
"Profound and mysterious, the Door of Myriad Mysteries."
"..." That sentence is enough; it explains everything.
Qin Yi took a deep breath, breaking the atmosphere of silence. "Senior Sister, Qing Jun... we may have to stay here for many years."
Both women snapped out of their daze and blushed slightly.
We've been together for many years...
In that instant, they might even have already thought of what to name their child.
Then they all turned to look at the female ghost.
The female ghost had no idea what these people, who were just moments before seeking enlightenment, were thinking at this moment, and were completely unaware that she had become a giant candle...
Qin Yi coughed twice and said in a low voice, "Senior, you have soul power between the Shining Sun Peak and the Qianyuan realm. Perhaps you can use this place to go directly to the Netherworld."
The woman was taken aback. "Netherworld..."
"Yes, it's best for Ghost Cultivator to cultivate in the Netherworld Realm. You can't leave the gate and travel to the Netherworld through other passages, but this might be a direct route. I'll give you a letter. If you meet the people of the Myriad Images of the Universe, you might be able to cooperate. You can borrow their power; they should need a Ghost Cultivator like that in the Netherworld."
Li Qingjun exclaimed happily, "That would be wonderful if it could really be like that!"
The woman showed no joy and remained silent for a long time before saying to Li Qingjun, "Qing Jun, may I speak to you in private... I have some sect matters to discuss with you."
After speaking, she turned and floated out of the cave. She seemed to have no interest in the sunken stone pillar that everyone was paying attention to.
Li Qingjun followed her out curiously, turning into a nearby cave. Sect private affairs...were they some secret matters unknown to the sect?
Qin Yi Ju Yunxiu exchanged a glance but did not follow.
"They probably don't have bad intentions, right?"
"If you're worried, I'll keep an eye on her and make sure she's immobilized at any time." Liusu smiled. "In my opinion, she doesn't seem to have any bad intentions. On the contrary, your Qing Jun might be in for a stroke of good fortune."
