Just as the rotating nebula in the center of the white jade portal was taking shape, a figure dressed in black broke through the air.
The person was facing away from Shenqian, and his appearance was initially obscured until the surrounding black mist automatically dispersed. Just before he disappeared into the vortex, the person seemed to sense something and turned around.
His features were familiar, except for a menacing mark between his brows that made his face look sinister.
"Wang Shuo!"
Shen Qian's body trembled. He never expected that the person Wu Jingcai had mentioned who had entered this "door" first was actually Wang Shuo!
But his surprise didn't stop there.
Because shortly after Wang Shuo's figure disappeared behind the "door," a stunningly beautiful woman in a black dress floated in.
Her expression was complicated. She stood in front of the "door" for a long time before finally making up her mind and disappearing inside.
boom!
Lightning could be faintly seen flashing within the vortex, but her figure still disappeared into it without hesitation.
"Tantai..."
The image then completely disintegrated after a period of shaking.
"Unfortunately, our live video feed only recorded these parts before it completely crashed due to interference from the black fog, and it wasn't until yesterday that it was finally repaired."
Wu Jingcai said calmly, "Now, Shen Qian should understand what I'm saying, right?"
Shen Qian was shocked that Wang Shuo and Tantai Qin had both entered this "door" one after another. No wonder he hadn't been able to contact Tantai Qin recently. At the same time, he was also a little confused.
"Why?"
It's hard to say whether Tantai Qin is a clone, but Wang Shuo is definitely the real one. Shen Qian, who had just dealt with him, was confident that he would not mistake him.
However, Wang Shuo's cultivation level had already surpassed the Mountain and Sea realms.
This is not scientific.
Shen Qian was certain that only martial artists below the Mountain and Sea level could enter this "gate" not only because it was Tantai Qin's statement, but also because he himself had stepped into the Heavenly Realm and knew what existed in the outer area of the Heavenly Realm.
Scales!
To be precise, it's the weight part of the balance scale!
That was a divine artifact that surpassed ordinary psionic weapons. With Shen Qian's current knowledge, it could be classified as an extremely powerful "star-level weapon".
The Scales of Heaven altered the rules of the Celestial Realm, and anyone below the level of mountains and seas who enters will be suppressed.
When Jiang Chengye fought him, he had no choice but to forcibly seal away a portion of his own strength.
Could it be that something went wrong with the scales?
"The 'door' standing before you is particularly peculiar. Based on the information we currently have, we can conclude that it doesn't restrict cultivation levels, but rather..."
Wu Jingcai frowned and thought for a while before carefully saying, "It's more like it's calling."
"Summoning?" Shen Qian, who was deep in thought, looked up in surprise.
"Perhaps this wording isn't quite accurate, but the martial artists who can enter this 'door' all have some kind of connection with it in some mysterious way."
Wu Jingcai paused and then added, "This speculation also comes from the minister's guidance. One of the reasons we approached you is because of the minister's subtle recommendation."
"Minister Wu?" Shen Qian had no choice but to believe it now.
As the head of the martial arts department, Wu Wei must have more secrets to know, and he must have some basis for saying this.
"Although the footage was destroyed, judging from various signs, Tantai Qin and Wang Shuo are very likely not the only two people who have entered this 'door'."
Wu Jingcai added, "In fact, just two hours ago, someone tried to cross the mid-air defense line to approach this 'door'."
"Who?" Shen Qian was startled.
"I don't know, that person is also an extremely powerful expert in the mountains and seas."
Wu Jingcai shrugged, looking somewhat troubled, and said, "Every time the 'door' opens, it triggers many unknown variables. The Martial Arts Department isn't omnipotent either; there are far too many martial artists who have escaped control, even..."
Wu Jingcai didn't say anything, but he did make a gesture of looking up.
Shen Qian didn't reply, but he already understood what the other person was saying.
In fact, the group that the Martial Arts Department has the least control over is precisely the group of people at the very top of China.
Your Majesty!
When they reach a certain level of enlightenment, what they pursue is completely different from that of ordinary people.
Let alone Wu Jingcai in front of him, even Shen Qian, who has had extensive contact with princes and nobles, is not sure if he can guess what the princes and nobles are thinking.
"Jiang Xuan is also connected to this 'door,' so does that mean she's also someone who can enter this 'door'?"
He looked up and gazed at the ancient gate again, murmuring to himself.
Besides Wang Shuo and Tantai Qin, who else has tried to enter or has already entered this "door"?
Is Wu Wei's real reason for wanting to enter this "door" truly, as Wu Jingcai claims, simply to investigate the truth?
...
The howling wind and snow whipped up a sky full of white fog, creating a strange contrast with the black fog drifting high in the sky.
Between that line of black and white, stands a vast mountain range.
It meanders and creeps, with the deepest canyons and the most beautiful edges. Even the extremely harsh environment of the forbidden zone cannot conceal its majestic grandeur.
It stands in this uninhabited area, its age unknown, perhaps tens of thousands or hundreds of millions of years.
If you were to vote online for the most worthwhile "tourist attractions" in restricted areas, it would definitely be in the top three.
It is the Kunlun Mountains, located in western China, which single-handedly support the main trunk of the western mountain system.
Since the resurgence of spiritual energy, Kunlun Mountain has become a forbidden zone within a forbidden zone. Not to mention its environment, which is a thousand times worse than before, the ubiquitous roars of beasts in the mountains also serve as a warning that "living people must not enter."
