Ye Tian felt like his head was about to split open. A powerful stream of information overwheld him, a feeling similar to when he had signed the Soul Contract with Ye Lin. The pain twisted the muscles on his face.
Zhang Xinlan, Ye Lin, and the Snake King were startled to see the change in Ye Tian's expression. They didn't understand why this was happening and were all incredibly worried.
Ye Tian's sweat had long since soaked his clothes. He stood frozen on the spot. After a long while, the pain finally subsided, but he still couldn't make sense of the powerful information flooding his mind.
"Ye Tian, what on earth happened? Don't scare us! Just now, you looked as if you'd lost control of your cultivation. Could the text on this Stone Gate be strange?" Zhang Xinlan couldn't help but ask.
Ye Tian glanced at Zhang Xinlan and said, "The text is indeed strange. Xinlan, would you believe if I told you the person who left this text isn't from our world?"
"Soone from another world? I've never even considered that. What do you an by that? I'm a little confused," Zhang Xinlan said.
"The text on this Stone Gate was left by an expert from another world. That expert is far more powerful than any in our world—all-powerful, capable of toppling mountains and overturning seas. Behind this Stone Gate is the place he left behind for practicing Martial Skills, but there are two stone gates, and we have to make a choice," Ye Tian said very seriously.
"That's certainly difficult. We have no way of knowing which stone gate is the right one. Since there are two of them, one must be problematic. A wrong choice could be a one-way trip. How did you learn all this? Did you manage to understand the aning of the text on the Stone Gate?" Zhang Xinlan asked.
"Sothing like that. But I still need so ti to digest and analyze the content of this text, just like how you analyzed the golden text that appeared on the stone pillar," Ye Tian said. He didn't want to ntion the mysterious man, mainly because he himself didn't fully understand what was going on.
Hearing this, Zhang Xinlan and the other two decided not to disturb him. They all waited quietly for him to figure out the aning of the text on the Stone Gate.
An unknown amount of ti passed before Ye Tian smiled faintly. By now, the powerful stream of information in his mind had revealed a portion of its contents. The full information wouldn't appear all at once; it would unlock as his Power Realm increased.
However, one point shocked him greatly: only by reaching the Nine Vein Realm would it be possible to travel to the other world. That was where the true experts gathered, capable of Flying and Earth Escape, all-powerful.
There was no need to overthink it for now. However, this mysterious person had told him that if he obtained the Cultivation Technique inside, it would be equivalent to cultivating a technique from another world ahead of ti. This was an incredibly terrifying and domineering prospect.
There were two stone gates, but both could be passed through to ultimately reach the place where the Heaven-defying Cultivation Technique was hidden. However, the environnts behind these two gates were completely different. One was a world of water, the other a world of fire.
Only by passing through this Water and Fire World could they reach their destination. Thinking about it, he realized how difficult it would be. The fire, in particular, was more terrifying. Ye Tian's control over the Fire Elent was at a novice level at best. His only real hope of passage was through the world of water.
But the information didn't specify which gate led to water and which led to fire. They had to choose for themselves. If they chose correctly, they could pass through smoothly. But if they chose wrong, it would be a one-way trip, as there was no turning back.
Once a Stone Gate opened, they had to enter, and it would close behind them. Although they were just stone gates, they were covered in many Restrictions. Even an all-out attack on the Stone Gate would elicit no reaction.
Ye Tian was hesitant. "Brother, have you figured out the text? When are we opening the Stone Gate and going in?" Ye Lin couldn't help but ask.
"I have, but there's a very tricky problem. There are two stone gates, and the passages behind them are water and fire, respectively. This water and fire must be incredibly formidable. Once we enter, we have to keep going. Danger is a certainty," Ye Tian said.
"That is indeed a troubleso matter. From the way you put it, you don't know the real situation behind either gate. We can only rely on luck. I hope we choose the water passage, since I have so mastery over the Water Elent," Zhang Xinlan said very seriously.
Ye Tian furrowed his brow slightly. He also wanted to go through the water passage, but he had no way of knowing the truth. With a fifty-fifty chance, he was willing to try. However, he wanted to go alone and not let Zhang Xinlan, the Snake King, and Ye Lin face the danger.
"You all stay here. I'll go check it out alone. I promise you, I will definitely co back!" Ye Tian said.
"I knew you'd say that. Did you think we would agree? If we go, we go together. If we stay, we stay together. Do you think it's possible for you to go alone? You're worried about our safety, but aren't we worried about yours?" Zhang Xinlan retorted.
"Brother, we're going in with you. Even if sothing unexpected happens, we can only chalk it up to fate. Besides, I believe you're a man of great fortune who can turn any disaster into a blessing," Ye Lin said.
"Young Master, the King is right. Although our strength isn't that great yet, we can still help you in so small way. It's definitely dangerous for you to go in alone. Even if it's a one-way trip, we'll have no regrets," the Snake King said.
Ye Tian was at a loss for words. He glanced at the three of them and said with a sigh of resignation, "Alright. Since you all feel that way, I can't stop you. Whether we live or die will be up to fate. Let's hope our luck is good enough to pick the water passage."
After speaking, Ye Tian walked directly to the Stone Gate. The thod to open it was actually quite simple, but one had to know it. Without that knowledge, even frantically attacking the Stone Gate would be useless.
Slowly circulating the Dragon Spiritual Power in his body, Ye Tian carefully examined the text on the Stone Gate. He then swiftly struck one of the characters with his palm, then another, and another. After a few breaths, having struck six characters in total, Ye Tian stopped.
Seeing Ye Tian's actions, Zhang Xinlan and the other two were slightly stunned. They had never seen such a thod for opening a Stone Gate before.
Ye Tian was very confident in his thod, as it was the one ntioned in the powerful information that had flooded his mind. The Stone Gate was supposed to react in a few monts, and then they just had to enter quickly.
Just as the information had described, after a few breaths, the Stone Gate began to vibrate violently. The characters on its surface then erupted in a dazzling golden light, too bright to look at directly. This was followed by a loud RUMBLE as the golden light vanished, and the Stone Gate in front of them disappeared, revealing a passageway…
