Lin Heng and his four companions stood before the Heavenly Estate, each with a different expression.
We've already reached the main gate, but we still can't get in. Isn't that just frustrating?
In contrast to the worried expressions on Liuyun Lan and the other three's faces, Lin Heng's eyes gleamed as he surveyed the cave ahead, attempting to sign in.
"The system has detected that Peach Garden Heavenly Abode is isolated by Primordial Spiritual Qi, making it impossible to sign in. The host can only sign in at Crescent Lake."
The system's response surprised Lin Heng.
I initially thought it was due to a protective array that prevented me from signing in.
To Lin Heng's surprise, it was actually the isolation caused by Primordial Spiritual Qi.
Primordial Spiritual Qi is the original Spiritual Qi at the beginning of the universe, and it can be said to be the foundation that supports the universe.
Could the Heavenly Estate of the two Heavenly Venerable possess Primordial Spiritual Qi?
That's highly unlikely.
This further fueled Lin Heng's curiosity about Peach Garden Heavenly Abode.
Since we can't obtain it through daily check-ins, we can only enter Heavenly Estate to compete for treasures.
Faced with the invisible barrier separating them, Lin Heng frowned and pondered alone.
If it wasn't meant for someone else, why would the two Heavenly Venerable place the Heavenly Estate at the Rippling Moon Lake?
wrong!
There must be some mechanism that can open the Heavenly Estate Stone Gate.
As Lin Heng pondered, he walked around Heavenly Estate.
Upon reaching the side of the Immortal Abode, Lin Heng discovered several lines of smaller characters behind the stone tablet.
"Eternal freedom begins in a dream, and the Heavenly Venerable's soul ultimately vanishes into nothingness."
I don't even think about it, yet I'm filled with the sorrow of parting!
The love can be rekindled, but it will never be forgotten!
As Lin Heng looked at it, he softly read aloud the small characters on the stone tablet.
'Boom!'
Just as Lin Heng finished reading the first three lines of small characters, the bottom of the lake suddenly trembled violently, and a strange fluctuation emanated from the space in front of Heavenly Estate, as if something had disappeared.
When the trembling subsided, Miao Jingkong looked in front of him with a puzzled expression, raised his hand to make a tentative touch, and found that the invisible barrier in front of him had disappeared.
Miao Jingkong was the first to discover this, naturally did not inform anyone else and took the lead in flying towards the gate of Heavenly Estate.
Miao Jingkong's actions also caught the attention of Lin Heng and the others. Seeing him set off, the others also planned to follow.
But Miao Jingkong seemed to have forgotten the hardships he had endured before.
The first person to eat crab isn't necessarily the best.
As the saying goes, "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down."
'roar!'
Before Miao Jingkong even approached the gate of the Heavenly Estate, the two stone beasts located outside the Heavenly Estate suddenly roared to the sky.
The stone beast, which appeared to weigh at least ten thousand kilograms, vanished from its spot in an instant. When it reappeared, it was already in front of the Heavenly Estate Mansion Gate, blocking Miao Jingkong's path.
The stone beast on the left raised its claw, and without any apparent effort, simply swung it lightly, sending the Nine-Turn Samsara Realm Miao Jingkong flying back without any resistance.
'Bang!'
Miao Jingkong was slapped by the stone beast and sent flying hundreds of meters before crashing heavily to the ground. He clutched the spot where he had been slapped, his face turning deathly pale.
" Lin Heng, what have you done?"
Lin Xiao turned around and shouted angrily. He was worried that Lin Heng had discovered some mechanism that could be used to scheme against him and Miao Jingkong.
"What do I need to explain to you?"
Lin Heng showed no mercy to the other party and retorted without any politeness.
Lin Xiao wanted to say something more, but after meeting the cold gazes of Liuyun Lan and Chen Yulin not far away, he wisely swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Without Lin Xiao's interruption, Lin Heng continued reading the smaller characters on the stone tablet that he hadn't finished reading.
Following those three lines of poetry was another passage.
"My wife and I left behind the Peach Garden Heavenly Abode. Those destined to find its treasures can enter by using a poem to break the Heavenly Estate. However, if members of the Eight Great Imperial Clans arrive, it will trigger an attack from the guardian Spirit Beast. If one can withstand three hits, one can enter the Heavenly Estate."
Lin Heng was dumbfounded after reading it. These words were far too concise and commonplace, not at all like something Heavenly Venerable Realm expert would say.
Shouldn't they put on a show, make themselves look more sophisticated, to match the aura of Heavenly Venerable?
However, Lin Heng had no time to care about that right now. Since the Spirit Beast only attacked the members of the Eight Great Imperial Clans, it must be that the two Heavenly Venerable had a grudge against the Eight Great Imperial Clans. Miao Jingkong and Lin Xiao were going to have a hard time now.
"Brother Liuyun, Brother Chen, that Spirit Beast won't attack us, don't worry about it. The Heavenly Estate's restrictions have been lifted, let's go straight in."
After Lin Heng finished speaking, he took the lead and flew towards the gate of Heavenly Estate.
Under the astonished gazes of Liuyun Lan and the other three, Lin Heng flew over the heads of the two stone beasts without encountering any obstruction.
Seeing this, Liuyun Lan and Chen Yulin quickly chased after them.
After the two of them successfully passed, Miao Jingkong and Lin Xiao couldn't wait any longer.
If we had gone in any later, all the treasures in Heavenly Estate would probably have been emptied out.
Miao Jingkong and Lin Xiao set off simultaneously. However, this time, just as the two were about to approach the stone beast, the previously Immovable beast raised its claws once more...
Lin Heng and his two companions were the first to enter the Heavenly Estate. After passing through the mahogany gate, all three were enveloped by a gentle energy, and everything in front of them was a white blur, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
After about ten seconds, when the blinding white light disappeared, Lin Heng and the other two tentatively opened their eyes.
Before them lay a long corridor, dotted with stars above and a ten-meter-wide passageway below, wide enough for the three to walk side by side.
But just as Lin Heng and his two companions were about to step onto the corridor, they were pushed back by a surge of energy.
"What's going on? Weren't we already inside?"
Chen Yulin looked completely puzzled.
Knowing the rules well, Lin Heng glanced around and soon found another stone tablet on the left side of the passage.
Led by Lin Heng, the three walked to the stone tablet and carefully examined the small characters on it.
The stone tablet explains how to proceed to the next level.
The long corridor in front of us is called Peach Garden Road, but to pass through Peach Garden Road, everyone from inside and outside Heavenly Estate must be present.
Furthermore, once everyone has arrived, they cannot all pass through at once; they must enter one by one. If two people enter at the same time, they will be instantly killed by the array restrictions of Peach Garden Road.
Of course, if your strength surpasses that of the person who set up the formation, you can disregard this rule.
"Wouldn't that mean we have to wait for Miao Jingkong and Lin Xiao to come in?"
"What are those two bastards doing? There's no danger at all, why haven't they come yet?"
Unable to wait any longer, Chen Yulin couldn't help but curse angrily.
"Cough cough!"
Lin Heng coughed twice and explained the rules of the stone tablet outside Heavenly Estate.
Hearing that the two Heavenly Venerable seemed to be targeting the people of the Eight Great Imperial Clans, Liuyun Lan shook her head. "It seems that the rumors about the Eight Great Imperial Clans secretly trying to assassinate the two Heavenly Venerable Venerables are probably not unfounded, otherwise the two Heavenly Venerable wouldn't be so angry with the cultivators of the Eight Great Imperial Clans."
Chen Yulin was also furious after hearing this. "Those worthless bastards from the Eight Great Imperial Clans, how many powerful figures have they slaughtered among us Ascenders over the years? They still think they're so high and mighty, and all they do is these despicable things every day."
Just as Chen Yulin finished speaking, a weak voice came from behind. "Why don't you dare say such things in front of the Eight Great Imperial Clans elders?"
Lin Heng and the other two turned around and saw that Miao Jingkong and Lin Xiao Lin Heng indeed arrived, but their appearance at that moment surprised them.
His original brocade robes were gone, his clothes were tattered, and there were still many bloodstains on his body.
They looked even worse than those who fled famine.
It's not hard to imagine how painful it must have been for the two of them to endure the stone beast's three attacks.
Given their current condition, if the stone beast were to strike them a couple more times, they probably wouldn't even make it in alive.
With even the guardian stone beasts so powerful, Lin Heng couldn't help but begin to look forward to the treasures within the Heavenly Estate...
