Chapter 659: The Road to Purgatory (Part II)

The middle-aged man walked cautiously forward, until he reached the gate of the castle, and the vision did not happen, and he immediately laughed: "Hahaha, I succeeded, I succeeded!"

There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd, and the people who were already a little anxious couldn't wait to rush towards the gate, but Zhan Chen saw that most of the people, including those Enlightened Ancestors, did not act, because they knew that everything in this ancient castle was unknown, and it was unknown whether there were risks or not, instead of rushing in recklessly, it was better to let others explore the path first, and as long as he followed these pathfinders, he could sit back and enjoy the results.

After the first batch of people had entered, Wang Xiaoyao and other Enlightened Ancestors slowly walked towards the gate of the castle, while Zhan Chen and Gong Xinyan followed the team and entered the gate.

Behind the gate is a dim corridor, on both sides of the corridor every tens of meters, there is a small lamp made of night pearls, the small lamp emits a faint blue cold light, adding a bit of gloomy feeling to the whole corridor.

Against this background, the march of the large army involuntarily slowed down, and everyone watched their surroundings with great vigilance, guarding against possible dangers.

After walking for hundreds of meters, everyone finally came to the end of the passage, and in front of everyone was a magnificent rotunda, the area was as wide as two football fields combined, the dome of the hall was very high, nearly thirty meters above the ground, and there was nothing else, it seemed to be lonely and lonely, only a statue in the center, which seemed to be eye-catching.

This statue is ten meters high, all made of 10,000-year-old extremely slim jade, 10,000-year-old extremely slim jade is a kind of immortal grade refining material, its material is as hard as steel, water and fire do not invade, 100 million years are not bad, can be used to refine the immortal rank of the middle grade and even the immortal ladder of the upper grade of the Taoist weapon, but the owner of the secret realm only carved it into a statue and placed it there, which shows that it is extravagant and wasteful.

Many Yuan Shen Realm powerhouses saw this statue with straight eyes, not to mention whether there were other treasures in this ancient castle, just if this statue was taken outside for auction, it could be sold for nearly a million high-grade immortal stones!

But Zhan Chen's attention was not on the value of this statue, he knew that there were so many masters present, even if there was a heavy treasure in front of him, it was not something he could touch, he was concerned about the character depicted on this statue - an old man with an elegant atmosphere, his eyes were deep, as if he had penetrated the vicissitudes of the world.

Staring at the statue all the time, Zhan Chen suddenly had a wonderful feeling, as if the statue was looking directly at him with his eyes, and even more produced an illusion, the statue gradually began to enlarge and rise in front of him, until it was a thousand feet, staring at Zhan Chen with disdainful eyes, indifferent and ruthless.

In front of it, Zhan Chen felt like an ant, he subconsciously shuddered, looked away, didn't dare to look at this statue anymore, and was secretly shocked in his heart: "What's going on, the statue is obviously a dead thing, why does it make me feel like it's alive." ”

Suddenly, he felt that the Divine Mansion in the center of his eyebrows was beating slightly, and he was alert for a moment: "Something is wrong, my Divine Mansion is beating, this is a kind of early warning, this ancient castle must be a place of right and wrong, which contains a lot of danger, I have to be vigilant!"

He began to observe the surroundings of the hall again, and immediately made a new discovery, around the rotunda were huge doors, if you did not count the entrances they entered, there were as many as thirty-one, each door was closed, and the surface of the gate was carved with different patterns, there were sun, moon and stars, ancient beasts, divine weapons, and exotic flowers and plants.

Then he wondered why the owner of the castle had built so many doors in this hall, what were behind them, and where did they lead?

There were more and more people concentrated in the hall, and when everyone was talking, the vision reappeared, and the statue in the center suddenly shone brightly, and a person came out of the statue, which was exactly the same as the character depicted on the statue, and everyone was shocked by this, and some even took out Taoist weapons to guard against it.

However, when everyone saw it clearly, they found that the figure was just a phantom, to be precise, he was just a remnant soul left in the statue by the master of the secret realm, a clone, and the real him had already gone west.

After seeing the phantom, Huang Defa took the lead and asked, "Who are you?"

The doppelganger didn't answer immediately, but looked at him with a look of reminiscence, and after a while, he asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

"Who the hell are you?" asked Huang again, his tone full of threat.

Only then did the clone come back to his senses and said, "Are you talking about my real body? I am Liu Qidi, a Taoist of Huangyang Dao, what you see so far is just one of my clones, my main body has died, and it is in the depths of this Biluo Palace. ”

"Why are you telling us this?" asked Huang again.

Liu Qidi smiled slightly and said: "I realized it long before I died, although I sealed my body into this void, hoping to be at peace after death, but there is no impermeable wall in this world, secrets will be discovered sooner or later, there will always be tomb robbers like you to visit, the reason why I left this clone before I die is also to entertain uninvited guests like you." ”

"Hmph! If you die, you will die, so what is the use of the wealth you want? Of course, you should give them to us, the descendants, so that the value of the treasure will not be dishonored. At this time, Xu Yukun stepped forward and said.

The doppelganger smiled dumbly, and said: "Hahaha, you are simply a bandit logic, why should I hand over the hard-earned treasure and wealth to you tomb robbers?

"How, tell us to quit? It's really a toad yawning - what a big breath, you must know that we are all the strongest in the Ming Law Realm, how can you stop it with some small traps?" Xu Yukun looked disdainful.

The clone sneered and said, "You are only six junior juniors of the Ming Fa here, how do you know that my cultivation has reached the realm of the Great Perfection of the Ming Fa, and the means I have mastered are not something you can imagine, if you don't believe it, you can try it." ”

"Jiji, we are planning!" Xu Yukun was naturally fearless, not only him, but also Huang Defa, Wang Xiaoyao and others present were also careless about the threat of the clone, in their opinion, Liu Qidi was already a dead man, how could he threaten them?

"Well, I won't stop you if you want to die, do you see those doors around this hall?" said the clone as he raised his hand to the thirty-one giant doors scattered around the edge of the hall, and then said, "I call those doors 'Thirty-one Gates', and behind each door there is a path to purgatory, and there are different mechanisms and tests waiting for you inside. Of course, I also placed the treasures I have collected all my life on those purgatory paths, and as long as you can pass the test, you will be rewarded accordingly, but if you fail, then there is only one end, and that is death!"

"Ugly, interesting! Liu Qidi, I didn't expect you to have such a bad taste, which is just the appetite of the old man!" Xu Yukun laughed when he heard him say this.

However, Huang Defa and the others changed their faces, and they were quite disgusted with this demon cultivator.

"Hmph, just laugh, I'm waiting for you in the deepest part of the Biluo Palace, and if anyone can get there smoothly and complete my final trial, I will give my life's wealth to both hands. This is my gamble with all of you here!" The clone sneered, and with a wave of his hand, the vision regenerated, and the entire castle began to shake and rumble, making it feel as if it was going to collapse at any moment.

Almost everyone present was terrified and uneasy looking for the source of the tremors, when the way was blocked by a falling gate, and at the same time, thirty-one doors that had been closed were opened at the same time.

"You'll soon find out that the test I've arranged will never be easy, so enjoy it!" the clone said loudly, and then faded into the hall.

At the moment when the clone disappeared, Zhan Chen caught a meaningful smile flashing at the corner of his mouth. This aroused his high vigilance, and he thought: "It seems that the cruel words released by Liu Qidi's clone are not alarmist, the road to purgatory, such a terrifying name, I don't know what is in it." ”

"Let's go!" Wang Xiaoyao said at this time.

The women asked, "Elder Wang, which door should we choose?"

Wang Xiaoyao replied: "Whatever, I don't think it's any different, let's try to finish it as soon as possible, so as not to delay here for too long." Her tone was understated, as if she had come here to travel with ease.

"Yes!" replied the women.

"Zhan Chen, come with us!" Gong Xinyan said uneasily.

Zhan Chen shook his head and refused, "No need, Sister Gong, as Elder Wang said, I'm just a burden to follow you." ”

At this time, Wang Xiaoyao also looked over and said, "Xinyan, when are you still going to protect this little monk of the Immortal Yuan Realm?" I have endured it again and again, don't go too far, remember your identity!"

Gong Xinyan woke up suddenly, and couldn't answer for a while, she really behaved too abnormally. Seeing this, Zhan Chen took the opportunity to say, "Sister Gong, Elder Wang is right, I'm leaving, let's meet again if I have a fate!"

Gong Xinyan hurriedly reminded: "Zhan Chen, then you have to be careful!"

Zhan Chen turned his head, gave her a firm look, and said, "Don't worry, I won't die!"

After that, he casually chose another door and rushed quickly, but he was thinking: "Great, finally free, none of these women are trustworthy except Gong Xinyan, act with them, if you don't do it, you will become their outcast, maybe I will be freer and safer to work alone!"
