Chapter 1037
Xuanwu Gate
In the mural depicting the angels offering sacrifice, Chen Ye saw something quite different.
After all, from Chen Ye's perspective, the entire scroll of this angel sacrifice painting was painted with angels as the pigment.
It doesn't feel like a painting that any ordinary person could have created.
This mural depicting an angel offering sacrifice contains a wealth of information.
It was as if, by using the laws of descent, a realm could be transformed, and many angels could be suddenly transferred there.
How exactly does this law achieve all of this...?
Indescribable.
"Alright, everyone, our opening time is almost over. I can't keep you here for too long."
After some time, Chen Ye came to his senses and absorbed all the insights from the murals. At this moment, he found his confidant looking at him with a smile.
It's like watching a thriving seedling finally sprout and grow.
"Do we have to leave here?" Chen Ye couldn't help but ask.
In fact, staying here to cultivate oneself is more effective.
But indeed... one cannot stay too long in such a heavily guarded place of inheritance.
"Yes, I have to leave for a while."
Zhiyin smiled slightly and said, "Each time this place is open, it can't be open for more than three days. Your understanding is already quite good. You have almost mastered the core content. Now is a good time to leave."
Everyone nodded.
In fact.
It's understandable that Zhiyin chose this particular time to have everyone leave.
After all, the time spent here was too long, and the laws here were too concentrated. Extracting the core parts and then comprehending them again later would not be as effective.
Moreover, if it's just for spiritual practice, then the lotus pond is a better place.
After all, the lotus pond also contains laws that gush forth.
The grottoes in the angel murals are more suitable for comprehending the laws and understanding new Dharma forms.
But everyone's progress right now is just too fast!
No one expected that such a profound Dharma image could be extracted in such a short period of time.
This completely exceeded everyone's expectations.
The gains were far greater than I had imagined...
Chen Ye and his group decided to stop while they were ahead and didn't dwell on it any further.
"There are still fourteen murals!"
Before leaving, Chen Ye glanced back at the mural behind him.
now.
His deduction space was only written into two murals, but even that alone consumed a great deal of his mental energy.
Only then could such a small amount of mural content be depicted.
therefore.
Chen Ye felt that this place still had a lot of depth, enough for him to make deductions.
However, the most precious images of the rising and falling angels and the angel sacrifice have already been successfully written into his deduction space.
The gains have been substantial enough.
We'll explore the rest another time when we have the chance!
Chen Ye and the others passed through the huge bronze gate in front of them, and with a series of shifts in their figures, they arrived at the Buddhist sanctuary.
Returning to this sacred Buddhist site, the Buddha statues here remain solemn and dignified. On the altar, the light from the few candles shines brightly for a long time, illuminating this place, where every brick and tile is spotless.
The tranquility of the place was restored to its proper order after those few unruly guests were driven away.
This Buddhist sanctuary is rarely visited, but it is easy to calm the mind when practicing here.
To experience a different realm of laws.
Of course.
Even a sacred Buddhist site is not comparable to a place of lineage.
After all, it's only related to Buddhism and Taoism.
In front of the altar, there are several futons, showing signs of having been sat on, but still without much dust.
It was as if the entire massive sacred mountain was a holy land belonging to the gods, where infinite possibilities and opportunities awaited those destined to climb and grasp the star-like brilliance of the laws.
"Let's head to the lotus pond now."
Chen Ye glanced around and smiled.
At this moment.
The Jade Void Daoist's gaze fell upon his kindred spirit, and he said with a smile:
"Senior, do you not have any plans for the future?"
Zhiyin held a folding fan, waving it a few times in front of him to partially obscure his face. He pondered deeply for a moment, then nodded and smiled:
"I really don't have any plans. Why don't we go to Lotus Pond together? It's been a while since I've been there. It's a treasure trove for all living beings. Going there for a visit would be a wonderful trip."
Upon hearing that Senior Zhiyin was willing to come along, everyone's eyes lit up slightly.
"Okay, let's go together then!"
Master Yuxu immediately showed a warm smile.
Putting everything else aside, having such a senior by your side means you won't have to worry about getting into trouble!
After all, Wu Nian had killed a disciple of the Demonic Sect before this!
The Demonic Sect's influence is still very strong.
Although the Demonic Sect is full of scheming and infighting, their internal conflicts are quite massive...
but.
If a Heavenly Demon Saint appears and something goes wrong, especially if he is killed...
Then the entire Demonic Sect will unite to demand an explanation for him.
Therefore,
The current situation is...
Wu Nian and his group thoroughly angered the Demonic Sect, and even killed several disciples of the Stone Clan.
Moreover, moving around within this sacred mountain where magical duels are permitted will definitely attract some trouble.
But now.
Since Zhiyin is willing to travel with the main group, it is definitely much safer for everyone.
“Let’s head in the direction of Xuanwu Sect. There’s a bustling market there, and it’s under the jurisdiction of the Arbitrators, so there shouldn’t be any problems.”
"It was suggested by Daoist Yuxu."
"no problem."
Jiufeng nodded and said, "Perfect timing. Xuanwu Sect has been developing quite well recently. There are many fun things to do there. It's as if a city in the sky has been moved there."
"Is it far from here?" Chen Ye asked.
Once you get here, it seems like you can't really care about climbing the leaderboard in terms of strategy points anymore... But luckily, you have a solid foundation, so you're not afraid of wasting this much time.
After all, the development achieved on this sacred mountain has indeed been considerable.
But I definitely need to take the top spot on this month's strategy rankings.
Jiufeng thought for a moment and said, "Most of the space on this first level is flat, with no upward load. If we fly fast, we can reach the Lotus Pond in about an hour. Xuanwu Gate will only take a few minutes."
"Then let's get there as quickly as possible?" Chen Ye suggested.
“Okay.” Jiufeng fully agreed. “We don’t necessarily need to follow the same steps, as long as we don’t get lost.”
"I'll lead the way."
With a thought, Wu Nian's flying sword transformed into a streak of light, and he rose up, stepping above the flying sword.
They were flying on swords!
It transformed into a streak of light and fled forward.
At this moment, Chen Ye was not to be outdone and activated the wings of the [Spirit Angel].
The wings of the eight-winged angel instantly transformed into a streak of light, carrying Chen Ye's body as they flew above the holy mountain.
He quickly caught up with Wu Nian's pace.
Wan Yi summoned a massive number of golden butterflies, and behind him, a wing also materialized.
The path followed by Daoist Yuxu and Daoist Dongxu is the same as that of Wunian: flying on a sword.
"These kids, they're all really fast runners, we old folks can hardly keep up with them!"
Master Yuxu shook his head helplessly, lamenting that he was truly getting old.
Compared to these young people, it's hard to catch up.
Although the two elderly men were a bit soft-spoken, they were still quite healthy.
Although they couldn't catch up with Wan Yi and the others, they could still maintain a distance, preventing themselves from being left behind.
at the same time.
Wu Nian knew that his cultivation level had improved under the training of the Angelic Rise and Fall Diagram. If he didn't control his speed, the others behind him would not be able to catch up. Only Wan Yi's Golden Dragon Wings and Chen Ye's Spirit Angel Wings would be able to catch up.
correct.
I almost forgot, there's another kindred spirit...
However, Zhiyin did not use any means of flight.
He strolled through the place as if taking a leisurely walk.
However, with each step, the surrounding space would instantly distort, carrying Zhiyin's figure away to a great distance.
It was like a flash.
Zhiyin's figure kept flashing and shuttling in this area, actually keeping up with Chen Ye and the others.
"As expected of this senior from the council, his skills are indeed superb. His application of this [spatial] technique has reached a level of consummate mastery!"
Chen Ye gazed at his confidant, secretly clicking his tongue in amazement.
This application of spatial systems is way too advanced, isn't it?
If it weren't for Chen Ye's [Spirit Angel] class, which unlocked angel wings and allowed him to fly in the spirit world with special buffs during activities...
They would probably find it difficult to keep up with Wan Yi and the others.
but.
Chen Ye also harbored even greater doubts about the strange era.
Why is it possible to combine so many characteristics in the world of the Strange Era?
and.
These characteristics remain very useful even in the Sky City.
Therefore, Chen Ye sensed that everything he was experiencing was likely being driven by some more powerful force.
After all, it is truly remarkable that so many incredible characteristics could be integrated within the world of the Strange Era.
Having made contact with the Spirit Realm, Chen Ye now has access to a much larger area of the dungeon, where there are many more things worth exploring.
At this moment, after flying for several minutes, a vast marketplace appeared below the Xuanwu Sect.
Above the Xuanwu Gate, a huge Xuanwu beast is carved, standing atop the archway, creating a very spacious feel.
"What a huge door!"
This was the first time Chen Ye had ever seen such a magnificent gate, resembling the legendary Southern Heavenly Gate.
Through the tall archway, a bustling marketplace comes into view.
Two arbitrators stood at the entrance, each holding a star cane, also conducting tests.
at this time.
In the blink of an eye, Zhiyin arrived in front of Xuanwu Gate and smiled:
"Everyone, this is Xuanwu Gate. We cannot fly here, so we need to walk over."
Because many forces are located within Xuanwu Gate, and they have all built huge buildings here, as well as disputes over land deeds, the rules here are somewhat similar to those in Sky City. Both places prohibit fighting and magical duels.
Inside, figures were coming and going, all dressed in peculiar clothing.
Because Sky City is so vast, its civilization is also very brilliant. The clothing worn by the various factions is not only very distinctive, but also full of design sense.
The people walking in the marketplace were all people of extraordinary status, some handsome, some dressed in fine clothes.
Chen Ye and his group arrived near Xuanwu Gate.
There is a mechanism here that prohibits flight. Even if someone has the ability to fly, their ability will be suppressed here, making it difficult for them to fly.
With this no-fly zone in place, the only way to pass through Xuanwu Gate is on foot.
at this time.
The advantages of a kindred spirit were fully displayed.
For Zhiyin, even without flying, his walking speed was incredibly fast, far beyond what ordinary people could match.
With the speed of a connoisseur, he quickly stepped into this bustling marketplace and began to wander around.
"We can't use too many teleportation abilities here, because we're worried that spatial movement might cause us to collide with surrounding objects and make this place unstable. So, we should try to avoid using super-powerful teleportation abilities to move around this area."
A kind reminder was given from behind.
"I never heard of such a setting before."
Chen Ye stood at the entrance of a shop when he suddenly saw a sign next to him that read, "This is a local area. Flying is prohibited. Excessive displacement is prohibited. Protect the ecology of the sacred mountain." He couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
As expected of a sacred mountain, they still manage to come up with all sorts of creative ways to have fun!
Presumably, it's because the extraordinary people here possess such rare abilities that even the slightest movement could potentially damage nearby objects.
There was also a bright red sign next to it, which served as a warning:
"If you misuse your displacement ability and cause damage to shops and ancient buildings, you will be required to compensate at the original price on a one-to-one basis, plus additional repair and damage costs. The value is quite high, and the highest compensation amount currently reaches 30,000 gold coins. Please take this as a warning and do not use your abilities casually here. Fighting and magical duels are prohibited!"
With so many notices posted, and figures dressed as arbitrators stationed here...
It's clear he has a long criminal record! (End of Chapter)
