Chapter 94: Damn!

In the center of the Absolute Yin Valley.

A massive star river pattern, drawn with the blood of the Heavenly Snake.

At the center of the star river pattern, countless light points gathered, condensing into a dazzling Heavenly Gate.

Many experts in the valley looked at the manifested Heavenly Gate, but no one dared to be the first to enter.

Shi Yan's expression was calm, standing with Han Feng and Ku Long, secretly observing the Heavenly Gate, feeling greatly pleased.

He did not receive any of the nine demon crystals from the Nine-Headed Heavenly Snake. Seeing those nine demon crystals explode one by one, with no one getting them, he felt secretly satisfied.

However, thinking of that terrifying force that could snatch the demon crystals from the hands of the Heavenly Rank experts like Chixiao and Beiming Shang, he was also extremely surprised and became even more cautious.

Zha Qi looked up to the sky, his expression pained, muttering incessantly: "Father, father..."

That eighth-level demon crystal came from the Mud Swamp Dragon. An eighth-level demon crystal could contain a fragment of a soul. Even if the physical body was completely destroyed, as long as the demon crystal still existed, an eighth-level demon beast still had a chance for rebirth.

However, the soul of the Mud Swamp Dragon in that eighth-level demon crystal was dull, clearly having been refined by some secret method, turning it into a mere source of power without the ability to think independently.

The eighth-level demon crystal of the Mud Swamp Dragon was clearly a crucial key to opening the Heavenly Gate.

Although Zha Qi was cruel and vicious, he had deep respect and admiration for the Mud Swamp Dragon. Seeing his father's last hope of rebirth cut off, his pain was unimaginable.

Beiming Shang, Chixiao, Zou Ziguo, and others quietly approached the Heavenly Gate, treading cautiously, and were also on guard when their steps fell on the mysterious pattern outside the Heavenly Gate.

"Miss..." The two large men beside Xia Xinyan looked at the mysterious pattern in the valley, their expressions hesitant.

These two seemed to know some secrets about the mysterious pattern.

Xia Xinyan shook her head lightly, her beautiful eyes flashing with a strange light, and secretly glanced at Shi Yan.

Shi Yan was also secretly observing everyone. Seeing Xia Xinyan's gaze, he was taken aback for a moment, then nodded lightly at her.

A complex emotion flashed in Xia Xinyan's eyes, and she slowly nodded back, not knowing what she was thinking.

"The Heavenly Gate is open. If you're not afraid of death, you can go in now." Xia Xinyan did not move. Seeing Chixiao and Beiming Shang hesitate at the entrance of the Heavenly Gate, she couldn't help but mock them coldly.

"Damn!"

To everyone's surprise, Zha Qi, who was immersed in grief, suddenly roared: "I want to see what's inside!"

With that, Zha Qi's figure darted forward like lightning, rushing into the Heavenly Gate and disappearing in a flash of bright white light.

Zha Qi's figure quickly vanished inside the Heavenly Gate. The Heavenly Gate only distorted slightly, without any other changes, still maintaining its dazzling luster, as if waiting for another person to enter.

"Brother Zou..." Beiming Shang looked at Zou Ziguo, pondering for a moment before saying, "What do you think?"

Shaking his head, Zou Ziguo said, "We've come this far. If we return empty-handed, I will regret it for the rest of my life. To seek wealth and honor, one must take risks."

"Agreed." Beiming Shang nodded in agreement, hesitated for a moment, and said to Beiming Ce, "Ce, you stay outside. Yin Kui, Jiushan, you watch over Ce."

Pausing, Beiming Shang then looked at Mu Yudie and Dyalan, frowning, "What do you think?"

"I want to go in and take a look." Although Mu Yudie knew that the Heavenly Gate could contain great danger, she did not want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Good, you can go in." Beiming Shang nodded, "Follow me." With that, Beiming Shang also entered the Heavenly Gate after Zha Qi.

Mu Yudie and Dyalan exchanged a glance, both with determined expressions, and followed Beiming Shang into the Heavenly Gate.

"Mu Hui, let's go." Zou Ziguo instructed the strange young man, and they also entered the Heavenly Gate.

"Mr. Chixiao, what about you?" Xia Xinyan said calmly.

"I will naturally go in as well." Chixiao smiled, turned to look at Zuo Shi and Shi Yan, and said, "Xiao Shi, you stay outside. I'll go in and take a look."

"Master, I want to go in too." Zuo Shi pouted, unwillingly.

"Let me check the situation first. If there's no problem, I'll definitely take you in next time." Chixiao scolded sternly, then said to Shi Yan and the others, "What about your Shi family? Are you sending someone to take a look?"

"Master, I'll go." Ku Long stood up and said to Shi Yan.

"I'll go!" Shi Yan's expression was indifferent, seemingly unaware of the dangers inside the Heavenly Gate, and he shouted firmly.

He had a fearless nature, enjoying the challenge of exploring the unknown. He came here because of the Blue Cave expedition.

He was not willing to wait outside for this exploration of the Heavenly Gate.

"Master, let Ku Long go." Han Feng said urgently.

"It's fine, I'll go." Shi Yan shook his head and insisted, "I'm very curious about what's inside the Heavenly Gate. If I don't go, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!"

With that, without waiting for Han Feng and Ku Long to persuade him again, he immediately rushed toward the Heavenly Gate.

"Master!"

Ku Long and Han Feng screamed together, their expressions slightly panicked, and rushed toward the Heavenly Gate. By the time they reached the entrance, Shi Yan's body had already disappeared inside the Heavenly Gate.

The two exchanged a glance, without hesitation, and also rushed into the Heavenly Gate.

"Take good care of Xiao Shi." Chixiao turned to Wu Yunlian and Chu Ping, and flew out, also disappearing inside the Heavenly Gate.

In just a few minutes, many experts in the valley had entered the Heavenly Gate, truly proving that people die for wealth and birds die for food.

In the Absolute Yin Valley, only Beiming Ce and Yin Kui, Jiushan on one side, Zuo Shi, Chu Ping, and Wu Yunlian on the other, and Xia Xinyan with the two towering men remained.

"Miss, this is a 'False Heavenly Gate'!" One of the large men whispered again.

"Hmm." Xia Xinyan's eyes sparkled, her expression unchanged as she looked at the Heavenly Gate.

At this moment, all the Heavenly Rank experts in the valley had entered the Heavenly Gate. Xia Xinyan and her two companions were at a distance from the other two groups, and their low conversation could not be heard by anyone.

"Inside the False Heavenly Gate, there won't be any true divine realm. This is just a small space constructed by a divine realm expert. Although it's unlikely to have unimaginable treasures, there should be relics of a divine realm expert. Miss, why don't you go in? Perhaps, perhaps you might find the martial soul legacy of that person!" One of the towering men said urgently.

"Don't you feel that there's an invisible hand controlling everything in the dark?" Xia Xinyan grunted, "He has already arranged everything on the chessboard. We are all just pawns, all within his calculations, and we have yet to escape his control. That old man, who has been dead for over a thousand years, is still not at peace!"

"Miss, do you mean—"

"The half of the map that the Shi family has should have been obtained by Shi Yan. That half of the map must be with the Profound Yin Technique! The Profound Yin Technique is only a Mortal-level martial technique, and only low-level martial artists would cultivate it. That guy chose the Absolute Yin Valley, forcing the one who obtained the Profound Yin Technique to cultivate it to resist the yin energy of the valley. Once the Profound Yin Technique is cultivated, it will naturally absorb the yin energy to form a Yin Pearl. Once the Yin Pearl is formed, the target becomes clear. If there really is a 'Martial Soul Origin Seal' inside the Heavenly Gate, only the one with the Yin Pearl can obtain it. Is there any need for us to go in?" Xia Xinyan said angrily, "That old man has already calculated everything. He won't allow anyone to disrupt it. This trip was in vain."

"If Shi Yan obtains the Martial Soul Origin Seal left by that person, he will definitely become one of the Divine Sons of the Three Gods Sect. If he can reach the Endless Sea, the Three Gods Sect will treat him like a treasure! The Three Gods Sect has great influence in the Endless Sea and is not on good terms with us. If he really obtains the Martial Soul Origin Seal, he will surely become the Star God of the Three Gods Sect. We should... we should get rid of him as soon as possible!"

"I know what to do." Xia Xinyan said coldly.

The two towering men nodded and fell silent again.

...

In a dense, impenetrable darkness, a cold female voice said, "All of you go to the Heavenly Gate! Capture Mu Yudie and assist the Dark Lord in exploring the mysteries inside the Heavenly Gate."

"Yes, Dark Lord!"

A group of pale-faced Dark Yin martial artists knelt outside the darkness, their expressions expressionless.

"Go." The voice came again from the darkness.

Dozens of Dark Yin martial artists moved, quickly entering the Absolute Yin Valley, ignoring the people inside, and directly entered the Heavenly Gate.

"The Dark Yin people!" Beiming Ce shouted, his face changing slightly, "The Dark Yin should be guarding outside. Why are they suddenly entering the Heavenly Gate?"

Yin Kui and Jiushan, seeing the Dark Yin martial artists enter one after another, had cold, dark expressions.

"No! We must go in too, or Grandfather won't be able to handle it alone." Beiming Ce pondered for a moment, ignoring Yin Kui and Jiushan's objections, and also rushed into the Heavenly Gate.

Seeing him enter, Yin Kui and Jiushan did not hesitate and followed.
