Under Luo Hao's guidance, Zhao Yi followed him to a peculiar place.
He initially thought the location of the ruins would be underground or in so Secret Realm but didn't expect Luo Hao to lead their group straight into the sky.
High above in the distant sky, once Luo Hao and the others arrived, they parted the clouds, revealing an ancient ruin standing quietly there.
The center of the ruin was a maze made of giant stones, perfectly ford, resembling a structure from ancient mythology. The maze was surrounded by ancient statues and stone pillars, weathered by ti and storms, still able to tell an ancient story. Within this mysterious maze, it seed as if you could hear the echo of footsteps, whispering ancient legends to you.
When Zhao Yi and the others looked upon it, they couldn't help but feel that such a unique place couldn't possibly be ford by any world.
Luo Hao explained, "This ruin suddenly appeared here over a thousand years ago. Initially, there was nothing at this place, let alone it being in the sky."
Zhao Yi looked up, seeing the simple and abrupt entrance to the maze, like a giant gate, well-lit and spacious around it. Faint mysterious lights hung on the stone walls of the gate, making the maze appear even more mysterious and eerie.
Zhao Yi pointed at the entrance of the ruins and said, "Could it be because of this giant gate that one can only enter every ten years?"
Luo Hao shook his head, "You may not know, Senior, but the giant gate is not unopenable. It's just that inside is a maze, extrely vast, and the reason it's only entered every ten years is that throughout countless years, we've only explored a route leading to the end. At other tis, entering resulted in getting lost quickly."
"The huge stones inside, along with nurous walls, are constantly moving, so even if you were to enter now, finding a passable route would be impossible."
The White Elephant understood his implication and couldn't help but ask, "You an the maze inside keeps changing, and ten years is a cycle, so the route you know only opens up at that mont every ten years?"
Luo Hao nodded helplessly, "That's right. We found this out rely by countless attempts."
Zhao Yi frowned. With his current cultivation level, it's unlikely he would be stopped by a so-called maze.
Just as he was about to enter, Luo Hao hurriedly said, "You may not know, Senior, but this giant gate is incredibly heavy, even for sages at the Sage Realm who have mastered the Law of Power; it's tough to move. Every ti we've managed to enter, we've gathered the world's top cultivators to push the gate together. Even so, it takes months just to push the gate open a sliver, when so many people are combined, moving the giant gate a fraction each day."
Zhao Yi glanced at the giant elephant, among the beasts, it had the greatest strength, so he let it give it a try.
The giant elephant quickly stepped forward and, under Luo Hao's shocked gaze, its size instantly expanded to hundreds of ters tall, revealing its true form—a gigantic elephant that covered the sky, exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure with just a distant glance.
Then.
The giant elephant took a few steps back, then suddenly charged forward, accelerating, and finally crashed heavily into the giant gate.
Though the gate was huge, compared to the giant elephant at the mont, it still appeared small and insignificant.
Even so, bearing the impact, the gate did not budge an inch, not even a ripple was produced.
Instead, the giant elephant was dazed by the shock, like a drunken individual, groggy, its size quickly shrinking, and finally it fell to the ground in a swoon.
The impact produced a thunderous sound, like a sudden clap of thunder on a clear day, resounding throughout the world.
Cultivators with high enough cultivation levels could feel the sound of the impact.
Countless people were startled, instantly rising into the sky, rushing into the clouds.
When they arrived at the ruins, they noticed a few people standing at the entrance; it was clear the sound was made by these people.
Soone recognized Luo Hao and couldn't help but ask, "Luo Hao, it's not yet the ti for the ruins to open, and you dare overestimate your abilities to open the ruins with people?"
Luo Hao shook his head and replied honestly, "It wasn't ; it was this senior who wanted to open the ruins. I was rely leading the way."
Hearing this, everyone's gaze focused on Zhao Yi, sizing him up and whispering among themselves.
"Judging by their age, how can these people have such high cultivation levels?"
"To have Luo Hao address soone as senior, their cultivation must be far above us. Regardless of whether they open the ruins or not, we ventured inside just a while ago and found nothing. Gathering here now might just bring trouble."
"I say, even with high cultivation, it's useless. Back then, we had hundreds or thousands of sages at the Sage Realm working together to open the gate. How could these few people possibly do it?"
...
Zhao Yi stood still for a mont, then slowly walked toward the giant gate under everyone's astonished gaze.
He tried pushing the gate with force, but unexpectedly, it didn't move an inch.
Though not specializing in the Law of Power, his physical strength wasn't much less than the White Elephant's. It seed impossible to enter by brute force.
Considering for a mont, Zhao Yi suddenly thought of his laws. If the Power of Ti can act upon everything, with rewinding, pausing, and future Ti Laws, perhaps it's worth a try.
Thinking this, Zhao Yi activated the Ti Law within him, slowly concentrating it on the gate before him.
Under his effort, the giant gate showed subtle signs of opening.
The surrounding cultivators were imnsely shocked by what they saw.
"What did I just witness? Back then, we gathered the strength of all the cultivators in the world to barely open a crack each day, letting the gate open a little. Yet he just placed his hand on the gate without seemingly using any force, and he managed to open the gate?"
"What? What level of cultivation does he possess to achieve this? Even the founder of my house, with his Great Daoist Sage Realm cultivation, reportedly attempted and couldn't open it at all."
"How is this possible?"
"If the ruins open now, the entire world might descend into chaos. With soone like him, no one will sleep soundly at night."
...
Their words naturally reached Zhao Yi's ears. At this mont, he focused all his thoughts on the giant gate.
Although the gate was slightly opening, at this rate, it would take at least half a month.
