Cen Jun did not answer Fan Zhiyi's question immediately, but asked: "Zhifan, do you know how the ghost gate was formed?"
Fan Zhiyi pursed his lips, not knowing why Cen Jun mentioned this: "You say."
"Evil and resentment constantly breed in a certain place of extreme yin. When ghosts gather here to a certain degree, a ghost gate will form. Once a corner of the ghost gate opens, it means that the clear boundary between yin and yang has been broken, and the ghost gate becomes a place for ghosts to breed. All kinds of turbid energy in the world of immortal cultivation will converge at the ghost gate, increasing the power of the ghosts. When the ghost gate can no longer withstand it and opens completely, the yin energy will spread throughout the world of immortal cultivation, and countless vicious ghosts will return, turning this place into purgatory."
"No one can avoid love, hate, anger, and delusion, and cultivators are no exception. Even if one ghost gate is cleared, new ones will appear in the future. Therefore, it is better to clear than to block." Cen Jun's tone was particularly heavy when he said the last four words. "Clear some of the evil spirits in the ghost gate and dispel most of the Yin energy. Then, blur the boundary between Yin and Yang, allowing the Yin energy and evil spirits in the ghost gate to flow back to the world of cultivation and be converted. This is the method we have come up with. It is a very bold attempt with no one knowing how it will end."
Cen Jun increased the speed of his flying sword again. His remaining words were spoken softly, so soft that they could be buried by the wind at any moment. "The Ghost Gate chaos cannot be resolved by one person alone. It requires the strength of everyone. Senior Brother said that his physique is special and can accommodate ghost energy and control ghosts. But those who can enter the Ghost Gate and participate in this gamble know that we are determined to die and are willing to accept the ghost energy and purify it with our own spiritual power. We are determined to completely resolve the Ghost Gate issue this time. Of course, it would be best if we can survive."
Fan Zhiyi listened, feeling a heavy weight on his heart, and growing even angrier. Did Bing Nandong... go there with the same intention? Then what was the point of locking him up in Zhaixing Tower? Were they going to make him wait for his husband for the rest of his life?
"So Zhifan, I'll need you to go into the Ghost Gate with me later. It's very dangerous..."
"Then go." Fan Zhiyi interrupted Cen Jun. He had made up his mind that when he saw Bing Nandong, he would beat him up first.
It was already dark when I left, and I felt even more groggy when I got there.
Thunder surged in the sky, circling like a giant dragon in the dark clouds, like a time bomb hanging over everyone's heads.
And right below was a gilded dense net woven by spiritual power, separating the sky and the earth. This was a temporary strategy to deal with the sudden arrival of thunder from the sky. At least if the thunder from the sky fell, they could gather their strength and barely resist it for a while, retaining a half chance of survival.
In addition, there is a barrier wrapped under the dense net, which seals the Ghost Gate and everyone in a new space to prevent the Ghost Gate from opening wide after failure, and evil spirits and negative energy from immediately flowing into the world of immortal cultivation to cause trouble.
Fan Zhiyi, high in the sky, saw a black hole tearing open in the air. Evil spirits kept pouring out, and were then killed by the disciples at the front of each formation. The colorful spiritual power and the black ghost energy were intertwined.
"Baibai, is this thunder specially prepared to kill Bing Nandong?"
Bai Bai said: "It's not clear yet. The signal interference near the Ghost Gate is too strong. We are actively contacting the main system."
"Oh, so this is what you meant by notifying me immediately if anything happens?" Fortunately, he knew the system wasn't working and didn't hold out too much hope. "You should at least tell me some of what you're hiding! Mutual concealment and suspicion between the host and the system isn't going to benefit either of us."
Fan Zhiyi looked at the thunderbolt and recalled the same situation when he and Bing Nandong had confessed their feelings to each other. He had reason to suspect that the thunderbolt was deliberately created by the system for Bing Nandong. Last time, it was because Bing Nandong had touched upon a secret that was not known to the people of this world. Could it be the same this time?
"Since you have the ability to send down thunder to kill Bing Nandong, why don't you just split the Ghost Gate?"
"Host, the development of the Ghost Gate has gone beyond the control of the system. The system cannot intervene and may even be restricted by it."
"Oh, so your system is used to being above all living things and can't accept anything getting out of control, so you have to seal the Ghost Gate? According to this line of thinking, you also plan to kill Bing Nandong. Do you also think that Bing Nandong will pose a threat to your authority in the future?"
Baibai remained silent. When Fan Zhiyi thought it was going to play dumb as before, Baibai finally spoke: "Host, I think your guess is correct."
Fan Zhiyi pursed his lips, said nothing, and looked at the thunder in the sky.
Bai Bai continued, "Host, the system cannot enter the Ghost Gate. Therefore, once the host enters the Ghost Gate, the system cannot guarantee whether it can still maintain contact with the host, synchronize the host's information, and ensure the host's safety."
"Guarantee my safety?" Fan Zhiyi smiled sarcastically, "Forget it." He would be thankful as long as the system didn't cause him any trouble next time.
"Host, I still think your best option is to complete the mission."
"I don't want to talk to you."
"Host, if you get entangled with Bing Nandong, you will either die or be injured."
"If you don't want to help, then shut up! Didn't you hear what Mr. Cen just said? The system's ultimate goal is to solve the Ghost Gate, right? If it succeeds, it will be the same end result."
"Not entirely." Bai Bai tried to persuade Fan Zhiyi to change his mind. "Suppose it fails, host, can you bear the consequences of failure?"
Fan Zhiyi: "...Shut up."
Cen Jun put away his flying sword and protected Fan Zhiyi to land. They found that this place was actually near the snow-capped mountains.
Xu Qing came forward and said, "The Ghost Gate has opened a little more now. He An and Xiao Man are both guarding the front, ready to respond at any time, but there has been no news from Master Zhuang and the others until now."
Cen Jun asked, "Why are the thunders piling up more and more?"
Xu Qing shook her head. "I don't know. If it comes down, I don't think it will last long. I won't be able to keep this piece."
"Master Jinwu said that we must control Senior Brother in the Ghost Gate before the thunder dissipates." Cen Jun said, "I will go in with Yi Zhifan now, and I will leave the outside to you."
"Don't worry." Xu Qing frowned as she looked at the dark mass, which was so oppressive that it made her breathless, as if it wanted to swallow all hope in the darkness. "We have to hold on even if we can't! Behind us are the lives of countless innocent people! As cultivators, since we have chosen this path, we should shoulder the responsibilities that come with it! Some independent cultivators and sects have also sent me messages and are on their way."
"Okay." Cen Jun nodded and looked at Fan Zhiyi, "Zhifan..."
"Let's go." Fan Zhiyi interrupted Cen Jun without hesitation. He knew what Cen Jun wanted to say. It was nothing more than to confirm whether he was really determined to enter the Ghost Gate. "How do we get in, and how can we accurately find Bing Nandong and the others?"
"The space inside is unstable, and it's easy to get lost. Only by being resolute can one avoid being lost in fear." Cen Jun emphasized, "Also, ghost energy can corrupt cultivators, so once you enter the Ghost Gate, you'll need to constantly use a barrier to protect yourself. Do you know how to use barrier techniques?"
"I can."
