As mentioned before, those who can achieve Foundation Establishment are exceptional talents, one in ten thousand.
They had endured countless hardships to forge their foundation, adding over a hundred years to their lifespan. They were even hoping to break through to the Golden Core stage and achieve a lifespan of five hundred years... How could they perish here?!
Although True Person Qian had instructed them before they entered to seize the fortuitous opportunity and return it to their sect at all costs... they were unfortunately confronted with Chen Shuangbai, a ruthless killer.
He can't win a fight, and he can't outsmart his opponents... Must he really choose to die to prove his innocence?
You must be joking.
Nothing is more important than one's own life.
Sun Yuan at Wu Qiong.
Wu Qiong also looked at Sun Yuan.
The two stared at each other, the elder brother refusing to speak, and both turned their heads away, unwilling to say a word.
After tidying them up, Chen Shuangbai and Liu Wenyan went to the only quiet room.
As Liu Wenyan said, there is a restriction outside this quiet room, which is why it cannot be opened.
Chen Shuangbai looked at Liu Wenyan, Liu Wenyan shook his head and said, "This time it's really over."
All right.
Chen Shuangbai stepped forward and used her Divine Sense to study the restrictions at the entrance.
He has now achieved some success in his cultivation, and in his spare time he occasionally reads some miscellaneous books. He has a general understanding of these kinds of restrictions and can tell that they are quite different from the current methods of restriction, and are from ancient times.
"Then there's nothing we can do."
Chen Shuangbai shrugged and was about to draw his sword to try and open the barrier by force, but Liu Wenyan stopped him, saying, "No, using force might cause the blessed land to collapse immediately."
If they were to collapse, without Golden Core True Person to guide them, they would likely be lost in the void and perish completely.
It would be a shame not to open it.
After all, this is a blessed land. The fact that the gate can be locked with a restriction means that the things stored inside are highly valued even by the powerful cultivators or forces that created this blessed land.
But if I open it, I'm afraid I might lose my life and fortune here.
After thinking it over, Chen Shuangbai suddenly had a flash of inspiration and told Liu Wenyan to take a slight step back.
Under Liu Wenyan's gaze, Chen Shuangbai stood at the entrance of the quiet room. The restriction transformed into a layer of crimson light, enveloping the entire doorway. It looked like a thin layer, but it was exceptionally tough.
Guh!
Suddenly, a point of mysterious light flickered between Chen Shuangbai's clean eyebrows, like ripples on water, transforming into a jet-black jade plate the size of a pigeon's egg. The center was pitch black, unfathomable, while a faint light flickered at the edges.
[ Fallen Toad Light ]!
Guided by him, a ray of mysterious light landed on the crimson halo formed by the restriction.
With a soft "whoosh," as if a bright flame had landed on white paper, it spread rapidly, turning the entire barrier into ashes that drifted away in the wind, eventually reducing it to nothingness.
Liu Wenyan looked at Chen Shuangbai in astonishment, even more surprised by the origins of this junior brother from the Jade Spring Sect.
" Junior Brother Chen, what you've done..."
Liu Wenyan stepped forward, looking surprised and wanting to ask, but quickly realized that this was an extremely irrational thing to do, so he decisively shut his mouth and swallowed the rest of his words.
Chen Shuangbai herself was somewhat surprised.
He only intended to give it a try, and it actually worked.
While they were talking.
The illusory image of the dark jade disc between his brows slowly faded away. It had taken a considerable toll, but it was all worth it.
rumble!
As the stone gate opened to both sides, the four people stepped inside.
certainly.
Liu Wenyan and Chen Shuangbai strode in, while Wu Qiong and Sun Yuan could only follow with small steps, because the [ Turning Heart Ruyi Cord ] had wrapped around them again and again, binding them like dumplings.
The room was dimly lit, but with the eyesight of Foundation Establishment, the scene inside was clear enough.
The quiet room is not large.
The interior furnishings are extremely simple, even frugal.
An old futon, with a low jade table placed in front of it.
On the jade table, there were nothing else but three things.
The walls on all sides were openwork, with wooden boxes, stone boxes, gold boxes, jade boxes... box after box placed inside. As the stone door opened, most of them made a rustling sound, and the contents inside turned to ashes.
Liu Wenyan felt it was a great pity.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
Even if the box is protected by arrays or restrictions, under the erosion of time, even the strongest restrictions will crumble into dust.
Liu Wenyan walked toward the remaining boxes.
He was very self-aware, and Gongye Chun had warned him before he came in that everything should be done in accordance with Chen Shuangbai's wishes, and he should not overstep this rule.
After witnessing Chen Shuangbai's ruthless power, they dared not entertain such thoughts any longer.
With a thought, Chen Shuangbai used the [ Turning Heart Ruyi Cord ] to bind the two to the pillars on either side of the hall, wrapping them tightly around several times, making Wu Qiong and Sun Yuan feel deeply humiliated.
After resolving these two unstable factors, Chen Shuangbai walked to the jade table and took a closer look. The three items were a jade bottle, a jade box, and a Jade Slip scroll.
The jade bottle was smooth and lustrous, looking as if it were carved from pure white jade without the slightest flaw.
The jade box and Jade Slip were the same, except that the jade box was locked with a small gold lock, and the Jade Slip was bound with a simple silk ribbon. When you tried to touch them, you found that they were also restricted.
Chen Shuangbai subconsciously wanted to use [ Fallen Toad Light ] again, but a slight stinging pain between her brows told her that she had used it too much and her soul was a little unable to withstand it. In addition, it was better to open this thing outside, so she raised her hand and put all three away.
Wu Yuan and Sun Qiong, tied to the stone pillar, desperately craned their necks to try and see what was on the jade table, but Chen Shuangbai's figure blocked their view, allowing them to see only three items, but not what they looked like.
This end.
Liu Wenyan had already removed all the well-preserved boxes; those that remained were all properly sealed, and there were only about six left.
He didn't keep anything to himself and gave all the boxes to Chen Shuangbai to put away.
Outside, inside the valley.
The five Golden Core True Person looked at the portal formed by colorful light in the center of the lake, and suddenly saw four streams of light emerge from it, heading towards True Person Qian and Gongye Chun respectively.
Two streaks of light landed in front of True Person Qian, revealing the figures of Wu Qiong and Sun Yuan.
True Person Qian was originally full of hope, but when he saw the two people's grief-stricken faces, his expression darkened. He then looked at the other two streams of light, which had transformed into the figures of Chen Shuangbai and Liu Wenyan, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.
Master Zhang Jing, Master Zhao of the Kuxin Sect, and that demonic Golden Core cultivator Qingyizi... waited for a while, and as the gate to the blessed land gradually began to dissipate, their expressions varied.
