"I accidentally discovered this secret realm a few years ago. The first barrier outside the cave was relatively simple, but as you go deeper, the immediate restrictions become more and more weird.
I have collected countless books since then, but I have never seen this magic method. The most important thing is, the more I come into contact with it, I feel that these restrictions imply the rules of heaven and earth, which cannot be understood by monks like me. "
This person has some friendship with Shang Xun, and is also the monk who initiated this expedition to the mysterious secret realm.
"Without further ado, each of you has his or her own strengths in the formation and ancient prohibition. I invite you all here in the hope of cooperating with each other to explore the secret treasures inside. Please don't hide your clumsiness."
"You are so polite, Fellow Daoist Liao." Someone echoed, "I will do my best even if I have to do my best."
Soon, they broke through the first restriction and entered the cave. The passage was very long, and the cave walls were printed with strange patterns that looked like words and symbols. No one could understand what they were.
Several people discussed it for a while, but couldn't come up with any results, so they put it aside for now and planned to study it later.
The deeper you go, the darker the light becomes, and the passage becomes wider. Strange runes flicker in the dimly lit hole, and there is no special feeling to the touch.
The second restriction was quickly passed. Although the cave was very spacious, the atmosphere in the cave became increasingly oppressive.
Since they were promoted to the Nascent Soul Realm, except in front of the god-transforming monks, they have rarely felt any pressure.
"This kind of breath... reminds me of the power of rules."
The power of rules is the irresistible power of heaven, such as life and death, time and space, speed and slowness.
The monk's lifelong pursuit of immortality and enlightenment is also a search for the rules of life and death that will allow him to change the world one day.
If the people present understood something because of this breath, then it would not be far from his breakthrough and ascension.
At this moment, Shang Xun and the others have broken through several restrictions, and now only the last stone door is left unopened. When this door is opened, one will see the true face of Lushan in this mysterious secret realm.
"What kind of monster is the pattern on this stone door?"
A ferocious huge beast head, three pairs of fleshy wings on the back, a big belly, short legs, and a long snake-like tail.
"Is this a big lizard?"
"Maybe it's a lizard spirit, it's too ugly."
On the other half of the stone door, there are various patterns similar to the sun. A group of strange people salute to the sun. Next to it, there are several people wearing armor and holding giant swords or magic weapons, encircling and suppressing the lizard.
Shang Xun pressed his hand up, and a strong force of repulsion pushed him away.
After thinking for a moment, Shang Xun said: "We may not be able to make it through."
"Fellow Taoist Shang, how do you say this?" They have reached the last step, why do they say they can't get in?
"The power method used on this door is completely different from the world of cultivation." Shang Xun explained. "In other words, this door may lead to an unknown plane, and its power system is completely different from the spells we use."
"Unknown plane, three thousand small worlds?"
"Highly likely, but not completely guaranteed."
"Then this gate is not the legendary cross-border gate."
The scene was silent for a few moments. The cross-border gate was somewhat similar to ascension. The upper world was also one of the three thousand worlds, but the level was higher than their cultivation world.
If they want to ascend, they must break through the realm of becoming gods, which means that as long as certain conditions are met, they can enter through the cross-border door in front of them.
But no one knows what the conditions for this door are.
When everyone was at a loss what to do, the scene on the stone gate moved, and the giant lizard suddenly spewed out a sea of fire and burned the people in front of it.
The people who resisted the monster attack also fought back at this time.
The true color of the stone wall was quickly taken over by the red color of blood and the sea of fire. People kneeling in the sun in the distance were either running away in panic or praying non-stop.
The attack on the painting suddenly turned into reality and attacked the nearest monk. Even though the man noticed and reacted quickly enough, he was still cut. The blood from the wound splashed onto the Shimen people and merged into the sea of blood on the painting.
"What's going on! This kind of attack ignores my defense and falls directly on me." The monk was shocked when he was injured.
The power is not particularly strong, but the weirdest thing is that it ignores its own magic defense.
Before anyone else could figure out the reason, a golden light suddenly appeared on the stone door and sucked the newly injured monk in.
The sudden scene left no one with time to react, because the golden light appeared suddenly and the people disappeared too quickly.
And the strange thing is that the golden light only swallowed up the monk just now, and nothing happened to the other people who were illuminated.
"Is it because of the blood? His blood just melted into the stone door."
After finding a way to get in, they mutilated themselves one by one, spilled blood into the painting, and disappeared one by one.
In the end there were only two people left in the cave.
Seeing that Shang Xun could not move, the man asked, "Don't you, fellow Daoist Shang, go and see what is going on outside this door?"
Shang Xunjing lowered his eyes, "If this gate is really a cross-border gate, how will we go back after we pass through."
After ascension, I haven't heard of anyone coming back from the lower world.
"This..." The monks were a little stunned by the question. They only thought about how to get there. They never thought about coming back. It's like ascension. If they can pursue a higher realm after going to a higher world, then what are they going to do when they come back?
.
"If the back of the gate really is a higher plane, why would we come back? Isn't the reason why we practice ascension just to leave here."
He could more or less understand Shang Xun's concerns and doubts. Once he left, he would abandon everyone he knew here and be prepared not to see him again.
After saying that, the monk no longer waited for Shang Xun, but wiped his palms on his own and entered the golden light.
After the golden light disappeared, the cave returned to darkness. Shang Xun stood quietly for a moment, raised his hand to look at it for a few seconds, but still couldn't take it off.
No one knows the scene behind the door, but if you leave right now, you may never see the people here again.
After thinking for a long time, Shang Xun put down his hands and turned around to leave.
For the first time, faced with the opportunity in front of him, he chose to give up.
But what he didn't expect was that after he turned around, a certain little monster on the stone door came to life!
It flew out of the painting, bit the back of Shang Xun's hand, and sucked a mouthful of blood.
Ignoring the spiritual defense, his unexpected blow knocked him down.
At that moment, the golden light lit up, and the dazzling light made Shang Xun squint his eyes. The irresistible force pulled his body in, and he was pulled in even before the Nine Dragon Lock could be thrown out.
The cave was calm again, as quiet as if no one had ever been here.
When all the people here disappeared, a burst of colorful light suddenly erupted from a sea outside, and a whirlpool door was formed.
Then the monks lined up in a long queue to go to the sea and explore the secret realm.
