Repugnant Gateway-Chapter 1554 - Hole in the hole

The roar coming from outside the cave became louder and louder. The entire mountain could collapse at any time. That thing was the most powerful one they had ever seen.

Originally, this was a secret realm that had already been discovered and excavated. Qu Liuxi and the others had only come in to take a look as a matter of routine.

At this moment, they were already making preparations for who would die first and who would then die.

“All of you, stop fighting.”

Du Shoushou laughed, but he still looked as free and easy as usual. “Who would be the first to court death in the competition between two charming girls, you really don’t put us men in your eyes … Chen Shaobai could not stand up, but I believe that even if he could stand up, he would not let them go.

“What’s the difference between men and women!”

Feng Shengxi said anxiously: “Don’t tell me women are weaker than men?”

“I heard Xiao Yezi say that when you two were very young, An Zheng and you fought for a chance to equality between men and women. At that time, how old were you two? Has it changed now? ”

“Gender equality is not wrong.”

Du Shoushou’s mouth hooked up as he held onto the wall and stood up: “But on the question of who dies first, it will never be equal. I’m a man, if I let you all die in front of me, then I’m not fit to be a man.”

“Why does Tan Shanse always have sucerrifying helper?”

“Because he once stood at the highest point and subdued those terrifying demon beasts that he had set up at his peak. Now, they are all of use.”

Du Shoushou said: “Don’t we still have an hour, we need to hurry up and rest.”

He took out the pill bottle that Qu Liuxi had given him before, raised his head and gulped down the majority of the bottle.

“No!”

Qu Liuxi wanted to stop him but it was already too late.

By doing so, Du Shoushou was completely burning his own life force to continue the battle.

After taking half a bottle, it looked like Du Shoushou was in better condition, but that was only temporary. He had calculated beforehand, the effects of the pill would take at least an hour, at that time, he would rush out without any hesitation and die in front of everyone.

“Maybe not yet.”

Gu Qianye suddenly said.

She realised that the ancient jade around her neck suddenly lit up. Previously, due to being too anxious, she didn’t notice it at all. Now that the ancient jade had lit up, Gu Qianye felt that there might be another way.

“Move further into the cave.”

Gu Qianye walked out first. There was no problem for Du Shoushou to support himself walking, but he was pretty much uninjured, so when he brought Chen Shaobai and the Xiao Qi Dao along, they looked like they were not lightly injured at all. They were also unconscious, but they seemed to be different from ordinary cultivators.

Gu Qianye led the way, and the further they went, the brighter the jade on her neck shone.

After walking for about a kilometer, the cave came to an end. There was no exit, as if there was a dead end inside.

“Ugh …”

Du Shoushou heaved a long sigh of relief, and sat down while supporting himself against the wall: “Looks like this place is a little safer, after all it’s a little better than outside. The tremors aren’t that strong, and even if the mountain were to collapse, we wouldn’t be directly killed.”

To someone with Emperor Level strength, being buried in a mountain was nothing. Feng Shengxi could easily pass through.

However, if she did that, it would immediately be discovered by the guy outside.

There were less than twenty minutes left before the Sky Lock’s power dissipated. In these twenty minutes, they would be at peace.

Gu Qianye lowered her head to look at the flickering ancient jade pendant on her neck, her heart filled with doubts. If there was nothing to guide or summon, how could the ancient jade possibly light up?

This was one of the ninety-nine secret realms that Xu Fu had in the past. Before they had arrived, it should have already been explored thoroughly by Tan Shanse’s men, and almost all of it had been plundered.

Gu Qianye stretched out her hand to feel along the stone wall, trying to find some sort of mechanism. But no matter how she looked at it, this cave was formed by nature, not something that could be excavated.

“Stop looking for Xiao Yezi.”

Du Shoushou laughed, “Sit down and rest for a while, you don’t have much time left to rest.”

However, Gu Qianye did not want to give up, because not only did the ancient jade light up, as she walked to the end of the cave, a mysterious voice started to appear in her mind, a voice that she could not catch clearly. It was unknown whether it was human words or something else, but she felt a faint sense of familiarity.

“I’ll keep looking. If the Sky Lock’s power dissipates, I won’t be able to find anything. Shengxi, you take them and leave.”

Feng Shengxi nodded, “Alright.”

There was no need for them to interact much.

The cave was not very big, and its width was about seven to eight meters. At the end of the cave was a stone wall that had been blocked off, and he speculated that there was still a long way to go until he reached the other side of the mountain.

After just five minutes, even Gu Qianye herself became lost.

A single pearl could illuminatlace, but there was nothing else in sight.

It was something that her father had personally passed down to her when she was in Old Hunters. This piece of ancient jade was a symbol of the position of the Clan Leader of the Old Hunters, and later, Gu Qianye guessed that it should be a bone that was left behind after her flesh was shattered when she fought with An Zheng and the others.

When one reached the peak of the Emperor Level, almost all the Zhi Zun level powerhouses had bones that were much stronger than any Purple-Rank Magic Tools in the world. At their level, Purple-Rank Magic Treasures were actually no longer of any help to them, and would not be of any harm unless they surpassed the peak of the Earth Ranking like An Zheng who was at the peak of the Inverse Broken God Sword level.

The bone jade felt slightly warm, as if it wanted to tell her something.

When Gu Qianye fought shoulder-to-shoulder with An Zheng and the others in that lifetime, she wasn’t helping An Zheng and the others in their battle. Instead, she was one of the people charging at the very front.

Even though she looked a lot gentler in this life, she still had that domineering aura in her bones.

“The thing outside has an extremely keen perception that is even sharper than An Zheng’s. It can even sense the aura in the air … So, even if there’s something hiding behind the cave, it’s impossible for us to enter, unless the time for the Sky Lock is limited. By then, there’s already no time to look for anything. ” 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂

The meaning behind Feng Shengxi’s words was obvious. If there was really something hidden in the cave, they had to rely on the Cultivation Power to open it. However, once the Cultivation Power was used to shake the mountain, even Sky Lock would not be able to hide them.

“I’ll try something else.”

Gu Qianye suddenly thought of something. She raised her hand and bit her finger, and then dripped a drop of her blood on the Bone Jade.

She could clearly feel that the bone jade was ready to move, but it seemed that its power was not enough to fly out. It was the bone jade’s self-awareness, and was not controlled by Gu Qianye.

She dripped a few more drops of her blood on the bone jade. The bone jade suddenly flew up, like a giant firefly flying a circle around the end of the cave, and then, it suddenly rose straight up into the air. Gu Qianye and the others couldn’t help but raise their heads to look up, the cave was only four or five meters high, and the bone jade quickly flew to the highest place, then disappeared with a whoosh.

“What’s going on?”

Du Shoushou watched in a daze, “He flew away by himself?”

“Impossible, the bone jade must have found something.”

“But there’s no exit up there either.”

“I’ll go up and take a look.”

Gu Qianye slowly floated up. After reaching the top of the cave, she carefully looked at where the bone jade had disappeared. She was shocked to find that there was actually a finger sized hole there;

If they wanted to enter, they would have to use the Cultivation Power. This was yet another paradox.

But at this time, the silver and water within the small cave splashed out, quickly illuminating the cave. A small beam of light shot out from the cave and onto the ground, causing the bone jade to fly back along the beam of light.

The bone jade left the beam of light and flew around Gu Qianye, as if it wanted to say something to her in a hurry. Gu Qianye raised her hand, and the bone jade then landed on her palm, followed by a buzzing sound... Everyone became smaller, and they were all smaller than a finger. The bone jade led them into the small hole.

It was as if they had passed through a very, very long time and space tunnel. When the light appeared again, they even felt like they had left this world and entered a world of dwarfs.

They were too small now, and a mantis was much bigger than they were.

The light gradually dissipated, and it took a while for their eyes to adjust to it. Gu Qianye rubbed his eyes with all his might, and then saw a person sitting cross-legged not too far away from him.

Her expression immediately changed. She subconsciously shouted, “Be careful!” Then, she stood in front of everyone. ｆ𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺

However, the person sitting there did not move.

The environment here was very hazy. It wasn’t that their eyes were still blurry, but rather hazy, as if there was a layer of mist separating them, making them unable to see anything clearly.

Gu Qianye carefully approached the person sitting there, and said as she walked: “We also did not intend to barge into this place, please forgive us senior, but we escaped here because we were being hunted, it was really an action of helplessness …”

When she spoke, she looked at that person without blinking.

He finally walked up to the front and the blurry layer of things in front of him disappeared. It was as if he had just passed through a layer of mist … When Gu Qianye walked in front of the person who was sitting cross-legged and saw everything clearly, his complexion suddenly changed, and in an instant, it was as if his face had lost all color.
