at herself in disbelief, "You're saying I was crazy before"獨孤城 nodded, watching her face full of disbelief, a smile spread even wider across his face.獨孤城點了點頭，看著她滿臉不可思議的表情，臉上的笑容越來越燦爛。"Doesn't this fee..."Mother, are all these things we need to take How long will it take us to go down"
Feng Lingxi looked at the list of supplies her mother had written down. It was enough for them to live for ten days and a half month.
"This time, the two of us, bring more for safety. Also, when you turn back, prepare some necessary medicines, as well as knives and fire starters."
"Mother, what is a firestarter used for"
Feng Lingxi was puzzled. Could there be living creatures in this sacred land
"Do you eat raw food The Holy Land is always in darkness, never seeing the sun. It's gloomy inside. You need to start a fire."
Dull
Feng Lingxi thought for a moment, it should be like the Earth Palace, after all, it was a cemetery, so she didn't think much about it and prepared according to her mother's instructions.
The Grand Elder received the essential lists provided by Feng Lingxi and Yao Wan'ying, and had them prepared. He arranged for them to depart in three days for the sacred land, and this time, he would personally escort them there, waiting outside.
Before they left, Luoli and Li Wuyan came to see them off and prepared a gift for them. It was full of medicines prepared by Li Wuyan, worried that they might encounter danger on their way down and need emergency treatment.
The Yao Clan's sacred place is located within the forbidden area of the Yao Clan. The Yao Clan resides in mountains, and their sacred site is an underground palace built within a mountain. From the outside, it is invisible, with only an ordinary-looking mountain cave as its entrance. Inside, there is a tunnel stretching for over a hundred meters. After passing through the tunnel, one arrives at the sacred place. The gate to the sacred place was set up by the ancestors of the Yao Clan. Pressing a mechanism opens the stone door, leading into the sacred site.
"We brought you here, and we will wait for you here until you return."
The Elder placed food and other things in the outer circle of the underground palace. After opening the stone gate, it was the outer circle. The atmosphere inside was grand, like a palace. A giant night pearl hung in mid-air, illuminating the entire outer circle. All members of the Yao clan could enter, but to enter the sacred land, one had to open its entrance, which only the Saint Lord could do.
A single drop of the Holy Lord's blood automatically identifies itself within the mechanism. Only the Holy Lord can enter; anyone else attempting to sneak in will be crushed by the door instantly upon entering.
Throughout history, many people have followed the Lord, but none of them were able to enter.
Besides the Lord, it is this gate's key, that is, Zixing Bai Liuli plus the blood sacrifice. This gate can be opened to the sanctuary and will never close again. What the Grand Elder wants is precisely this method.
Feng Lingxi didn't know what her ancestors were thinking, letting their descendants use such a method as the key to opening the holy land. However, she believed that after entering this time, all her doubts would have answers.
"Xier, it's time for us to leave."
Yao Wan'ying glanced at the Grand Elder, hoisted the item, walked to the gate of the Holy Land, bit her finger and dripped blood on the gate. The stone door opened. Yao Wan'ying turned back to Feng Lingxi and said, "Xier, follow me."
Feng Lingxi responded, shouldering the burden she carried. She watched as the Grand Elder's gaze intently followed her mother into the depths. Such fervent longing shone in his eyes; it seemed as though entering there was a most anticipated event. She didn't want to, but she had no choice.
"Grandmaster, I hope you remember what you promised me."
“Be quick and return, I'll wait for you to come out.”
The Elder rushed to say, watching Yao Wan'ying go in, the stone gate instantly came down, not giving anyone a chance to rush in. It was like a gate with eyes, preventing anyone from having the urge to charge in.
Feng Lingxi glanced at Luoli and Li Wuyan, seeing their worried expressions, she nodded at them, walked to the stone gate, took a deep breath, imitating her mother's appearance, bit her finger, letting the blood drip onto the stone gate. Watching the slowly rising stone gate, Feng Lingxi turned back to look at the group of people behind her, and walked in.
"Grand Elder, who can truly understand this scripture"
Luoli watched as the stone door closed, seeing such a sight for the first time. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it. This door was so magical.
“The wisdom of our ancestors is unparalleled. Many of our forefathers attempted to follow the Holy Lord inside, but they were all crushed on the spot, blood splattering everywhere. This door, like a man-eater, is unforgiving. You may see them enter unharmed, but if it were you or me, this wouldn't be the case.”
The elder's words were chilling. He had seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't deny it.
Luo Li glanced at the surroundings of the holy land. After he became the clan leader, he came here to worship his ancestors, but it was only once. At that time, he was young and didn't understand these things, but this time, he really saw the terrain clearly.
"This sacred land is filled with wonders beyond imagining."
The elder sighed, his voice full of anticipation for what lay beyond the Holy Gate. Dugu City looked at the gate, "Elder, when will they come out"
"Unknown, all the past Holy Lords have entered, only Yao Wan'ying has come out. And the other ancestors do not have this ability, now, we can only wait."
"The blood on the surface instantly sucked into the gap of the door. If it wasn't seen with one's own eyes, one wouldn't believe that such a magical scene existed in the world."
Li Wuyan gazed at the stone gate with a sigh, and the Great Elder nodded. "That's the magic of this door."
"I hope they come out soon."
Luo Li's voice was filled with worry, as she looked at the Great Elder. There was only burning greed in his eyes, not a shred of concern. To him, all that mattered was the secret behind this holy land. Everything else meant nothing.
After Feng Lingxi entered Shimen, the light dimmed, but there was a faint glimmer. Following her mother forward, she saw jade steps before her eyes. As she continued walking, a massive underground palace appeared before her.
"Mother, is this the Holy Land"
Feng Lingxi looked around, her gaze sweeping over the surroundings. The ground palace was brilliantly lit, as if it were daytime. There were only many towering pillars and numerous steps. These steps seemed endless, and one couldn't see what was on top of them.
"Isn't it different from what you imagined"
"Mother didn't say this place was gloomy But it's like daylight here, so bright."
Feng Lingxi looked around, but she didn't know where to go.
“Only my mother has ever been here, and besides her, only our deceased ancestors have set foot in this subterranean palace.”
"Look, Feng Lingxi," Yao Wan'ying said, "Isn't it amazing"
Wind Lingxi nodded, looking around, "Mother, since this is the case, why did you say that the Yao Clan's treasures are all here"
"Xier, come with me, my child."
Yaowan'ying threw her burden on the ground and pulled Feng Lingxi toward the steps. Feng Lingxi was puzzled, but she still followed her mother up the stairs. These stairs were at least a few thousand steps long, seemingly endless, but after walking a section of them, it felt like reaching a new level. The palace extended, with numerous paths.
Feng Lingxi gazed at the magnificent scene before her, looking up in awe.
"Is this always like this"
"Right, every 133 steps is a level, with four paths extending up, down, left, and right. There are eighteen levels in total."
Yao WanYing finished speaking, "Mother reached the peak back then. Do you know what Mother saw"
"Could it be our ancestor's handwriting"Yao Wan'ying and felt her pulse, checking her body."Her injuries are recovering well, in a few days, mother will be fine."Yao Wan'ying looked at Xi'er's serious expression and asked, "How much of what...
