Ye Chen nodded and took out a bag of spiritual stones from the space bracelet.
However, he did not hand it to the guards, but took out three hundred spirit stones and handed them over.
“This is our entry fee!”
The guard took the order, did not embarrass Ye Chen, and made way for him.
Although his attitude was not as humble as his treatment of Qiu Yijian, it was not much better.
As for not being too embarrassed, it was naturally because Qiu Yijian specially said hello to Ye Chen before leaving.
"Let's go!"
Ye Chen turned around and said something to An An and Jin Lin, and strode towards the avenue ahead.
Although this gate is extremely wide, there is a piece of light hanging down from the top of the gate, like a water curtain, isolating all the scenes inside.
From the outside, it's so hazy inside that you can't see anything clearly.
"Woo!"
When I walked under the light curtain, I felt as if I had experienced a baptism.
However, after walking through the light curtain, Ye Chen was stunned by the sight in front of him.
Behind the gate is an extremely wide square.
It is about five miles in radius, with railings standing on the edge, and the square is bustling with people coming and going.
However, this square is actually suspended in the air!
There is no support below, except for the end connected to the gate, which is suspended in the void.
And below, there is a bottomless darkness, so deep that it makes people feel frightened. It is like a huge mouth of a monster that chooses to devour people, waiting for their tiny prey to be taken into the mouth.
Especially the sky in the distance is so magical and dazzling.
The mountains are floating in the void, as if they are not affected by gravity at all, floating up and down, drifting, and seem to be slowly approaching and moving away from each other.
And there are rivers flowing between these floating mountains.
Without a river bed, these rivers seem to be completely weightless, rushing forward in the void with rolling waves.
"No way, this is the so-called abyss of sin?"
After staring at the scene in front of him for a long time, Ye Chen couldn't help but exclaimed: "This doesn't look like a prison, it's clearly a paradise on earth, okay?"
An Qian and Jin Lin, who had just followed, were also shocked.
"Is there such a magical place in the world?"
"Am I dreaming?"
The two women were so excited that their delicate bodies trembled and their faces turned red, as if they had never seen the world before.
"What, is this abyss of sin different from what we imagined?"
A familiar voice came over.
It was Qiu Yijian who came in one step ahead!
“It’s definitely different from what I imagined!”
Ye Chen suddenly came back to his senses and nodded.
He seemed calm on the surface, but there were huge waves in his heart.
After hearing that the Abyss of Sin was a prison built by the gods to imprison sinners who had blasphemed against the gods, he thought it was an extremely cruel purgatory on earth.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be like a dream paradise, everything subverted his imagination.
The mountains suspended in the void, the surging rivers, and the various races walking back and forth in the square simply opened up his new understanding of the world.
"Brother Ye, let me take you around!"
Qiu Yijian made a "please" gesture to Ye Chen, "Many of the sinners here still retain their ancient races. If you see any strange phenomena, don't make too much of a fuss!"
"Brother Qiu, since this is a prison for criminals, why is it so beautiful?"
Ye Chen couldn't help but ask: "Is the so-called imprisonment just an illusion?"
"No, it's not an illusion!"
Qiu Yijian shook his head, "Because what you see in front of you is the original appearance of this world. It was only later that dust returned to dust and earth returned to earth, and the distinction between heaven and earth was established!"
"Is this the original world?"
Ye Chen seemed to understand.
"In ancient times, when the world was just derived from chaos, this is what it looked like!"
Qiu Yijian patiently explained: "It's just that later, the clear air rose and the turbid air sank, forming the world we know well!"
After a pause, he added: "As for the criminals imprisoned here, they are accustomed to this phenomenon and will not find it so magical or wonderful!"
"On the contrary, they envy the world we live in even more!"
At this point, he pointed to the deep darkness under the railing, "Did you see it?"
"What's down there?"
Ye Chen asked.
"The real purgatory is down there!"
Qiu Yijian said with lingering fear: "Anyone who falls will be completely swallowed by the darkness below!"
"Aren't those mountains and rivers suspended in the void?
How could it fall?"
"If it is at a certain height, it will indeed not fall, but if it is forcibly pressed down to a certain level, gravity will recover."
"What's the meaning?"
Ye Chen still didn't quite understand what he heard.
"Watch it!"
Qiu Yijian looked around and picked up a stone from the ground.
Then, he slowly stretched out the railing and loosened his fingers.
The stone did not fall, it just hung there, spinning faintly and moving slowly.
“It’s amazing!”
An Anxi couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
Jin Lin's eyes were also full of disbelief.
"Look again!"
Qiu Yijian smiled mysteriously, waved his big hand, and the spiritual power he waved suddenly condensed into a translucent palm, and slowly pressed the stone down.
Because the spiritual palm could extend infinitely, the stone was quickly pressed down to a depth of about fifty meters.
Originally, the downward movement of the stone required the spiritual palm to press down.
But when it reached a depth of fifty meters, the stone seemed to have regained its gravity and instantly accelerated and fell into the abyss below.
In just a moment, it was submerged into the deep darkness below.
"It turns out that when it drops to a certain level, gravity will recover again?"
Ye Chen finally understood the rules of this strange world.
"So, this place seems to be full of fantasy, but in fact it is also full of danger!"
Qiu Yijian pointed around and said: "Once any criminal commits a serious crime, he will be forcibly held down by the law enforcement officers!"
"And the lower you press it, the stronger the gravity will be!"
"As long as it drops below a hundred feet, the gravity will increase thousands of times. Even an emperor-level expert will not be able to fly in the air!"
Hearing this, Jin Lin and An An took a breath of cold air at the same time.
"This darkness in front is really scary!"
"Is this the legendary forbidden area of life down there?"
Even Ye Chen looked a little frightened.
Just a moment ago, he was obsessed with the dreamy scene in front of him, but now it seems that it is really just the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.
Under the gorgeous appearance, there is an unfathomable shadow of death hidden.
"Then what is hidden in this darkness down there?
Why is it so scary?”
The more he learned about the darkness below, the more curious Ye Chen became.
