Chapter 470: Another Hidden World
Upon seeing the subtle changes in Su Jingzhen and the others’ expressions, Xuening’s face also took on a serious look.
She looked at Su Jingzhen and spoke earnestly, “Brother Su, although I can sense that this is likely the most crucial place within the Dantai Clan’s grounds, I still have no idea what exactly lies inside.
What I said earlier wasn’t an exaggeration; I truly felt that my grandfather and Little Ling were inside, and they were calling me.”
Xuening understood that both Su Jingzhen and Shen Yifeng harbored some fear and hesitation regarding the grand hall before them.
Yet, she also knew that entering the hall was necessary.
If anything unexpected were to happen inside, she didn’t want Su Jingzhen to misunderstand her.
His opinion was extremely important to her.
Hearing her words, Su Jingzhen’s lips curled into a gentle smile once more.
“What are you worried about? No matter what happens, we’re only grateful to you this time.
Don’t worry—if we didn’t trust you, why would we have come with you?”He knew that Xuening had a pure heart, and for her to take the initiative to say these words now meant she was truly anxious.
At the same time, Su Jingzhen’s heart grew even heavier. Xuening’s caution only reinforced the possibility that the hall was filled with hidden dangers.
At this moment, Shen Yifeng spoke up again, “Since we’ve made our decision, let’s not waste any more time. The people behind us are moving faster than we anticipated. The first group will be here soon.”
Upon hearing Shen Yifeng’s words, the group wasted no more time.
Their entry into the Dantai ruins had been a highly secretive operation.
Although others had noticed, no one knew exactly where they were.
They didn’t want to be caught in the open by anyone else.
Xuening continued to pave the way with that drop of Five-Color Blood Essence. Although the radiant light emitted from the divine blood had dimmed considerably, they still encountered no obstacles.
The grand hall was extraordinarily majestic, yet its doors remained tightly shut.
A powerful and imposing aura seemed to emanate from within, carrying an overwhelming pressure.
At this moment, the brilliance of Xuening’s Five-Color Blood Essence grew even more intense.
The pressure along the way didn’t affect Su Jingzhen and the others too much.
However, as they approached the entrance, Xuening’s expression became increasingly tense.
She didn’t speak to Su Jingzhen or the others but walked directly to the door and instinctively placed her hand on it.
In the next instant, the seemingly imposing door suddenly lit up with the same five-colored divine light.
Simultaneously, Su Jingzhen suddenly noticed that the statue of the Yunmeng Goddess, standing in the center of the white jade plaza, was now emitting a light even more dazzling than before.
The light condensed into a beam and directly shot toward the grand hall’s door.
Surprisingly, the light from the statue and the door resonated with each other, much to the astonishment of Su Jingzhen and the others.
Su Jingzhen immediately activated the scales of the Heavenly Dragon on his body.
He knew this signified that the mysteries within the grand hall were likely even more intense than he had imagined.
As the five-colored light from the Yunmeng Goddess statue shone upon the door, it suddenly began to slowly open inward.
A wave of ancient and intense spiritual energy surged forth, causing Su Jingzhen and the others to shudder involuntarily.
With the protective aura of the Heavenly Dragon scales, Su Jingzhen managed to remain unaffected.
Shen Yifeng, being powerful in his own right, also seemed unfazed. However, Ye Zhiqiu, who stood beside them, began trembling uncontrollably.
Her face turned ashen, and even the aura of her Golden Core cultivation weakened significantly.
Her legs trembled uncontrollably, as if she might collapse under the overwhelming aura at any moment.
Before entering the Dantai ruins, Ye Zhiqiu had thought highly of herself, as she had inheritances from the Alchemist Association.
Ye Zhiqiu had initially believed she could contribute to this exploration, but to her dismay, not only had she failed to help, but she had also become a burden.
Now, the door of the grand hall had just opened and she was already in this state.
She couldn’t fathom what awaited her once they entered.
Shen Yifeng and Su Jingzhen quickly noticed her distress and each reached out a hand to steady her.
Ye Zhiqiu forced a bitter smile and said, “I don’t think I can go on… I’m too ordinary, and this place is far too extraordinary. The opportunities within probably aren’t meant for someone like me.”
A wise person knows their limits.
Before this, Ye Zhiqiu had never doubted that she was a gifted cultivator. But now, she realized that self-confidence depends on who you’re walking alongside.
“I’ll find a place to wait for you all. This experience has already been enough for me.”
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen frowned. “This is just the pressure from opening the door.
Hold on a bit longer.
As cultivators, we shouldn’t speak of giving up as long as we’re alive.
Besides, we came here together, so we should leave together.”
As he spoke, Su Jingzhen’s right hand suddenly activated the Labor Palace acupoint, releasing a gentle yet powerful wave of vital energy onto Ye Zhiqiu, easing her burden considerably.
Hearing his words, Ye Zhiqiu’s heart was filled with complex emotions, but she still nodded.
If Su Jingzhen and the others were truly willing to protect her until the end, she wouldn’t mind entering the grand hall to see what awaited inside.
“Brother Su, follow me!” Xuening’s voice suddenly called out.
Without another word, Xuening took the lead and stepped into the grand hall.
The moment she crossed the threshold, a powerful force seemed to pull her inward, and her figure instantly vanished from Su Jingzhen and the others’ sight.
Su Jingzhen and Shen Yifeng exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, supported Ye Zhiqiu as they quickly followed.
They had immediately sensed that once Xuening entered the hall, the pressure from within, now unshielded by the Five-Color Blood Essence, had multiplied several times over.
The longer they delayed, the worse it would be for them.
Fortunately, just before the pressure within the hall reached its peak, they managed to cross the threshold.
In the next moment, Su Jingzhen felt an immense, irresistible force pulling him forward.
The hand that had been supporting Ye Zhiqiu’s right arm was abruptly forced to let go.
In the blink of an eye, Su Jingzhen and the others were involuntarily drawn toward a silvery light ahead.
It was at this moment that Su Jingzhen realized there was something extraordinary within this grand hall—an entire hidden world!
