All Dharmas Lay Before Him!
Time's up!
Those who Dharma Enlightenment Bell stepped forward and entered the hall.
The rest of you can go back now.
Ding Tai True Person's voice was as loud as a bell, echoing throughout the square in front of the palace.
As soon as he finished speaking, a wave of suppressed sighs and unwilling mutterings arose from the crowd, and most people's faces were filled with regret and disappointment.
"Hey, you know, I almost did! If my leg hadn't suddenly cramped up, that Dharma Enlightenment Bell would definitely be mine."
"Who can argue with that? I was less than ten feet away from that Dharma Enlightenment Bell at the time. What a pity!"
"Damn it, what's with this Dharma Enlightenment Bell? Why don't we just let everyone in?"
"That's right!"
Those lucky enough to successfully obtain the Dharma Enlightenment Bell could not hide their excitement, their eyes burning as they gazed at the mysterious bronze gate, their minds already filled with boundless anticipation for the fortuitous opportunity within the hall.
Qi Yun remained standing at the very front of the crowd, his position unchanged.
However, unlike at the beginning, he was now all alone.
Yue Rong, who had once stood shoulder to shoulder with him, was severely injured and fell into a coma by him, and was taken away by the Black Mountain True Person.
The other disciples from the Outer Mansion had already witnessed the leader's ferocity and dared not get too close to him.
They all came in second, being honest and obedient.
Indeed, strength is the only way to earn respect.
Noticing the changes in his fellow disciples from the Outer Mansion, Qi Yun felt a faint sense of sarcasm.
That's good, at least it saves us a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Taking out the Dharma Enlightenment Bell, Qi Yun stepped forward and was the first to approach Ding Tai, handing the token for entering the [Hall of All Dharmas] to the Inner Mansion cultivator before him.
Ding Tai took the bell, his always-squinting smiling eyes sweeping over Qi Yun, a hint of barely perceptible surprise flashing across them, before he said with a smile:
"Your cultivation has improved considerably in just a few days."
"Yes, you came back on your own."
Sensing the probing tone in the other person's voice, Qi Yun remained calm, simply nodding slightly and replying, "Mm."
"Good, your teacher was right about you. Cultivate diligently. Once you enter the Inner Mansion, the world will be even more vast." Ding Tai's smile softened, and he slightly turned to gesture for Qi Yun over.
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
Arriving at the entrance of the Hall of All Dharmas, Qi Yun reached out and gently pressed his hand against the heavy, cold door.
However, the instant his palm touched the door, the door seemed not to be a solid object, but rather transformed into a bottomless vortex.
An irresistible and immense suction force suddenly erupted from it, instantly affecting Qi Yun's entire body.
After a period of intense dizziness and spinning, I finally felt my feet firmly on the ground.
Qi Yun frowned, shook his head, forcibly suppressed the urge to vomit, and looked around.
This is in an extremely ancient, deep, and long corridor.
The stone slabs underfoot were mottled and covered with wear marks, while the walls on both sides were a dark bronze color, carved with countless ancient murals that were long since blurred and indistinguishable.
And on the walls on both sides of this seemingly endless corridor.
Every few feet, a bronze lamp was embedded in the wall.
Each lamp had a cluster of flames of different colors and sizes burning quietly on it.
These flames take on countless forms: some are as blazing as the sun, radiating intense heat;
Some were a deep, icy blue, radiating a chilling aura;
Some were lush and vibrant green, full of life;
Some were as black as ink, as if they could devour all light;
Even more disturbingly, some exhibit an eerie grayish-white hue, pulsating with a chilling silence...
"Could these candles be the insights left behind by previous cultivators?" Sensing that these candles were extraordinary, Qi Yun quickly stepped forward.
Beneath each lamp, a line of fine ancient seal script is clearly engraved, like a thoughtful label, clearly indicating the insights contained within the flames above.
"Insights into the Blood Baleful Intent Saber Intent - Zhang Ling Lingliu, Qi Refining Fifth Layer"
"The Essence of the Lesser Five Elements Escape Technique - Left by Wu Daozi, Qi Refining Sixth Layer"
"Insights on ' The Yin Ghost Spirit Refining Chapter ' -- Left by Ghost Granny Qi Refining Sixth Layer"
"Insights from 'Basic Alchemy: Controlling the Heat' -- Left by Li Dantong, Qi Refining Fifth Layer"
These insights are diverse and all-encompassing.
From the art of killing to the secret techniques of escape, from refining the mind to acquiring skills in alchemy and weapon crafting.
It covers almost every aspect that Qi Refining Stage cultivator can come into contact with.
Moreover, all of them are clearly labeled and easily visible.
If an ordinary cultivator were here, seeing so many insights from senior cultivators like goods on a shelf for one to choose from, they would probably be overjoyed and eager to select the one most suitable for them to integrate.
However, Qi Yun stopped in his tracks.
The hint of curiosity on his face quickly faded, his brows furrowed slowly, and his eyes revealed not surprise, but a deep wariness and suspicion.
Something's not right!
Something's nine out of ten wrong!
Where is this?
This is the Wuji Sacred Sect, which squeezes your very marrow and turns even the dead into walking corpses!
Free access to the [Hall of All Dharmas]?
A wealth of free insights from our predecessors?
They even thoughtfully included notes on the contents of the notes, as if they were afraid you'd choose the wrong one?
Something unusual must be going on!
Qi Yun's gaze swept over the quietly burning, clearly marked flames once more, and he felt as if behind those flickering lights, pairs of cold, calculating eyes were hidden.
"We need to find someone to try it out first."
With a quick glance, Qi Yun's plan came to mind.
The insights of predecessors in the [Hall of All Dharmas] are likely genuine, but these insights also contain pitfalls, making them 99% likely true as well.
What is the best solution?
Naturally... the solution is to find someone to jump in first and fill the hole.
Having made up his mind, Qi Yun immediately transformed into Fresh Breeze and hid himself, standing quietly in a corner, waiting for the Outer Mansion behind him to enter.
Soon, spatial fluctuations came from behind, and one after another, disciples from the Outer Mansion, each holding Dharma Enlightenment Bell, were teleported in with excitement and anticipation.
Seeing the hall filled with all sorts of dazzling insights, the people's breathing quickened.
However, their basic qualities as disciples of the Holy Sect also caused them the same worries as Qi Yun.
Such thoughtful treatment... is there a catch?
Seeing that his fellow disciples were all overly cautious, none of them were willing to test the "laws" themselves.
Qi Yun could only sigh inwardly.
The world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be.
Why are they all so wary of their own sect?
With a flick of his sleeve, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his Storage Bag, which contained some colorless, odorless, and light pink secret medicine.
Qi Yun's gaze swept across the crowd.
They quickly located a cultivator standing alone in a secluded corner, craning his neck to curiously examine a cluster of green flames.
Fortunately, there was still a little bit of the [Six Desires Bewitching Powder] left.
Junior brother, let me help you out.
