Chapter 2218: Chapter 2485: The Critical Moment!
Half an hour later.
Ye Yuntian and Han Chen led Ren Feifan to a quaint ancient door.
Ren Feifan was surprised to find that this ancient door was exactly as the Underworld Master had told him.
However, upon arriving here in person, Ren Feifan felt an aura of desolation washing over him.
A trace of fear gradually arose in his heart.
This fear stemmed from the depths of his soul.
The ancient door was not locked, nor was there anyone guarding it, and it was even ajar.
Only, the ajar part was covered in moss.
It appeared that no one had been here for a long time.
“Sect Leader, the Pilgrimage Spring is just inside, you should be able to sense the significance of this place, right?”
Ye Yuntian said.
Ren Feifan glanced around and curiously asked, “The Pilgrimage Spring is the treasure of Pilgrimage Mountain, such an important place. Why is there no one guarding it?”
Ye Yuntian chuckled, “The Pilgrimage Spring doesn’t need guarding because anyone who recklessly enters will undoubtedly die.”
“The real danger lies inside, not at the entrance. Sect Leader, you see this moss here, indicating that the door has not been pushed open for a long time. Over the years, no one at Pilgrimage Mountain has dared to push open this door.”
“Sect Leader, you shouldn’t attempt this. There might be other ways to cure your friend’s illness.”
Han Chen advised.
Ren Feifan hesitated for a few seconds.
Truthfully, upon arriving, he already sensed the danger here.
It was as if eyes from deep within the darkness were staring at him.
This feeling was quite uncomfortable.
He resolved not to enter for now, and would consider it only after he advanced to the God Monarch Realm.
Just as he was about to speak, the little sapling in the mysterious space began to shake violently.
Ren Feifan had long understood this fellow’s nature and asked, “Have you discovered absorbable energy inside?”
The little sapling fiercely shook up and down, spreading the power of the stars.
“Don’t react like this. I don’t plan to enter this place for now. I’ll wait until I enter the God Monarch Realm, as I don’t want to risk my life inside!”
As his words fell, the little sapling seemed anxious, and even emitted a sound.
“Now… It’s now… I… I will protect you!”
Hearing this, Ren Feifan looked towards the door, and almost unknowingly reached out to push it open.
A strong aura surged from inside.
In the next moment, Ren Feifan seemed ready to step in.
It was as if his body was under some kind of control!
Ye Yuntian and Han Chen were anxious; they had brought Ren Feifan here hoping he would abandon such thoughts.
But unexpectedly, he really went in!
Ye Yuntian just wanted to pull Ren Feifan out when a powerful suction force surged!
Ren Feifan’s body was unbelievably sucked inside!
At the same time, the door closed!
Ye Yuntian and Han Chen’s faces changed dramatically!
“Damn it, why did the Sect Leader go in!”
“What do we do? The Sect Leader is the hope of Saint Doctor’s Gate. What is he doing inside!” Han Chen’s expression was quite anxious.
He intended to open the door but found himself bound by a powerful force, unable to open it!
Ye Yuntian thought of something and said, “Junior Han Chen, the Sect Leader must have his reasons for going inside. Don’t forget, he has a power from Feng Qingyang by his side, there probably won’t be any incident!”
“Perhaps the Sect Leader might come out soon.”
Upon hearing this, what else could Han Chen do, he stared hard at the ancient door and murmured, “I hope that’s truly the case.”
…
Behind the door.
Ren Feifan conceded to the little sapling—what was it up to?
The little sapling was acting first before consulting him?
He knew clearly that his inexplicable entry was caused by the little sapling’s trickery!
However, being angry now was pointless.
Ren Feifan wanted to open the door to go out but found that even with all his might, he couldn’t push it open!
Whoa!
“Little sapling, are you messing with me?”
The little sapling didn’t respond.
Ren Feifan looked towards the depths, pitch darkness stretched out.
So deep you couldn’t see the end.
A faint sound of roaring came from somewhere.
“Go in…” The little sapling’s voice rang.
Ren Feifan sighed. He was already here, he could only go forward.
His body started glowing with starlight, with the star power spreading, the originally dark depths became extremely bright.
This seemed to be a hundred-meter-long corridor.
A glimmer at the corridor’s end should be the location of the Pilgrimage Spring.
Ren Feifan walked forward, maintaining the highest alert.
After all, Ye Yuntian and Han Chen had mentioned that this place was guarded by powerful figures and the Spring Guardian Beast.
But unexpectedly, as Ren Feifan plunged deeper, nothing happened.
It was quietly eerie.
Ren Feifan reached the bright spot, walked through, and surprisingly found himself in a paradise.
There was a lake, a waterfall, and a forest.
Could this be the other side of Pilgrimage Mountain?
Quickly, Ren Feifan noticed something amiss.
This place ought to be vibrant!
But everything around was tinged with death!
The waterfall was stagnant!
The lake unmoving!
Even the wind was absent!
This strange feeling sent a chill down Ren Feifan’s spine.
“Do I need to go further?” Ren Feifan asked the little sapling.
“Yes, go further!”
Ren Feifan drew the Legacy Dust Sword and moved ahead!
Splash…
Suddenly, within the lake, the waves roared, the raging waters at this moment actually blocked Ren Feifan’s path, forming an immensely strong defensive wall!
Boom…
In the sky, clouds twisted, lightning flashed, and at some point dark clouds gathered.
The hurricane blew fiercely, overturning everything around.
Even some gigantic trees that had grown for a hundred years were uprooted.
“Move!”
That was Ren Feifan’s immediate response.
He felt like the ground was trembling!
As if something was awakening!
“Finally, someone has come…”
Just as Ren Feifan was about to turn and run, a voice of extreme authority, seemed to come from the void in the sky.
This voice echoed in Ren Feifan’s ears like thunder.
At the same time, the pressure suddenly seemed to become tangible, stopping Ren Feifan in his tracks.
With a muffled thud, Ren Feifan was bounced back, crashing hard onto the ground behind him.
“Since you’ve arrived, why leave?”
The voice resounded once more!
It seemed to come from beneath the earth!
Moreover, within this formidable voice, Ren Feifan felt his blood boiling, his face instantly turned pale, and sprayed out a mouthful of blood.
“Little sapling, what should I do now?” Ren Feifan asked.
But the little sapling did not answer him, it seemed to become silent.
In Ren Feifan’s mind, thousands of horses galloped: “Little sapling, you’re too unreliable! Disappearing at a crucial moment!”
“Boom!”
In the next moment, the lake moved, swirling up, as splashes rose and an immense shadow, hundreds of feet long, slowly floated into the air. That imposing body soared in the sky, its eyes glowed with utter contempt!
