Amid lush green mountains wreathed in mist, four figures walked slowly along a mountain path.
Xiao Yan asked Yun Yun curiously, "What happened after you entered the Gate of Life and Death back then?"
Yun Yun had no intention of hiding anything and answered honestly, "There wasn't much to it, really. After I entered, I found myself in a mysterious space."
"Then I heard a mysterious voice announce that the trial had begun, and countless phantom figures emerged within that space."
"Some of those phantoms were human, while others took the forms of Magical Beasts. As long as you defeated them, you would receive an infusion of energy that increased your strength."
At this point, Yun Yun seemed to sink into her memories. It was thanks to the Gate of Life and Death that she had advanced from a Dou Ling to a High-Rank Dou Wang in just a few short years.
Excitement crossed her face as she turned to look at Nalan Yanran.
"Yanran, after I entered the Gate of Life and Death, it took me only a few years to advance from a Dou Ling to a High-Rank Dou Wang."
"You're stronger than I was back then. If you enter, you might already be a Dou Emperor when you emerge-or even a Dou Zong."
"What? Yanran hasn't been to the Gate of Life and Death yet?"
Before Nalan Yanran could react to those words, Yun Shan was already stunned.
Seeing that Nalan Yanran was a Three-Star Dou Wang at such a young age, he had assumed she had already entered the Gate of Life and Death.
After all, Yun Yun had only broken through to Dou Wang after entering it herself.
Seeing his reaction, Yun Yun immediately told Yun Shan about Nalan Yanran taking the Life Devouring Pill.
