The True Entrance

Bang!

With a deafening boom, the entire spatial passage shook violently, as though heaven and earth were collapsing.

Everyone present changed expression. Sensing that aura of destruction, a thread of despair abruptly crossed their hearts. "Chen Fan guessed wrong?"

Even Soul Division Stage cultivators, said to be capable of drawing upon the power of the void, could not help but feel fear before the boundless vastness of space.

"Protect your physical bodies and Divine Souls. This is fake!" Chen Fan suddenly shouted, instantly steadying their hearts.

Everyone held their breath, reined in their Divine Souls, and used their true essence to form a protective curtain of light around themselves.

Crack!

Several breaths later, the spatial passage shattered into fragments, dense cracks crawling across it. Then, with another thunderous bang, the entire passage erupted. Strands of spiritual energy surged in from every direction, followed by blinding sunlight pouring down from above.

Only then did everyone slowly open their eyes. When they saw the scene before them, they could not help but stand there dazed.

"This is..." They were all stunned. They were still standing above the lake, as though they had never entered it at all.

"That just now... was an illusion?" someone asked in astonishment.

"No. It truly existed—a fake spatial passage." Chen Fan stood calmly upon the lake's surface and spoke in a low voice.

He looked at the mirror-still lake beneath his feet and activated the Heavenly Eye Treasure Art. This time, he finally discovered something amiss.

"There are at least ten entrances here, but all of them are fake," Chen Fan said.

Everyone was immediately shocked. The Dugu Clan Head frowned. "You mean... the entrance was fake from the very beginning?"

"No. There is a real one, but it has been hidden." Chen Fan shook his head.
