Murong Yin wanted to step forward and argue: "You..."
"That's enough."
Su Murong suddenly spoke, his voice stern, "We were the first to strike. Zhulong, as a mountain guardian demon, is innocent. If it hadn't wanted to kill me in the end, I wouldn't have killed it."
He looked at Zhao Heyang, Murong Yin and others, and ordered in a cold voice: "Don't hinder Su Yao anymore. As a doctor, she is doing her job."
Everyone had different expressions, but no one dared to say anything.
Su Yao put away the dragon bone umbrella, his eyes cold: "Even if you enter the secret realm, you may not be able to obtain the fountain of life."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Heyang frowned.
Su Yao didn't answer, only Su Murong's eyes darkened slightly, his expression complicated. "She's right. The Fountain of Life is not ordinary water. It has intelligence and soul consciousness. It is a divine object conceived by heaven and earth. It only saves those who need to be saved."
In a flash, a faint space crack slowly opened up in the air, and divine light poured down from the crack, as if a portal to another world had opened.
The door to the secret realm appears.
Behind the door was a dreamlike world with golden light floating and colorful mist swirling.
On the ground grew spiritual herbs as pure white and transparent as magnolia, and in the air floated ethereal butterflies.
In the distance, the mountains are undulating, like the reflection of a fairyland; the springs are gurgling, emitting a faint light.
Everyone seemed to have stepped into a phantom land in the sky.
Leng Zhiruo and Zhou Lingyu, who had just stepped into the secret realm, suddenly stopped.
"Zhiruo!"
Murong Yin noticed something strange and turned around suddenly, only to see that the two men had blank eyes and dazed expressions, then knelt on the ground and fainted.
"Illusion." Su Yao said it in one word.
"Those whose Tao hearts are unstable will be trapped in illusions." Qingcheng said slowly.
Su Murong waved his hands expressionlessly and formed a seal, temporarily sealing Leng Zhiruo and Zhou Lingyu in the barrier, and ignored them.
The rest of the people continued to move forward. Soon, a long corridor made of gold, jade and bluestone appeared in front of them. At the end stood nine gates. The gates were tall, and each emitted a different light, like gods guarding the gate.
"Nine heart gates." Bai Ze murmured.
"Every door is the entrance to the fountain of life. Whether you can pass through it depends entirely on your heart."
Murong Yin was the first to step forward.
She was seen standing in front of the third door. Divine light was fluctuating in the door, and a shadow slowly emerged: it was the back of a tall and slender man, who gently held her hand.
His figure resembles Su Murong.
Murong Yin's expression wavered instantly, her eyes flushed red, and she reached out to touch... "Swish!"
Her heart trembled, and a divine power surged out like a raging tide, violently shaking her out of the secret realm and disappearing from everyone's sight.
"Failure." Su Yao said calmly: "Love and obsession cannot be tolerated by the heart."
Zhong Xuanji then walked to the sixth heart gate, and the mirror light flickered slightly.
His mind moved, and the door reflected the scene of him ascending to heaven and the people worshipping him, and his face showed longing.
The next moment, the golden light condensed into a cold light and suddenly burst out.
"puff!"
Zhong Xuanji vomited blood and flew backwards, and was expelled from the secret realm by divine power.
"He is obsessed with becoming an immortal, and his merits are not complete." Bai Ze said.
Zhao Heyang walked forward and arrived at the seventh gate.
Emerging from the door were dozens of dead little demons, their eyes filled with resentment.
He frowned and was about to suppress it forcefully.
"Bang!"
A flame transformed into a spear of judgment, piercing through the void and blasting him directly out of the secret realm.
As Wu Tiejun approached the heart gate, the divine power sensed his violent nature and did not let him get close, but directly repelled him.
The four elders failed one by one.
Qingcheng walked to the first door. There was no illusion inside and no sound or movement.
He stood quietly, and the divine door opened by itself.
But he did not step in.
"I have no demands and no desires." He looked calm.
Bai Ze did the same, opening the door but not entering, only saying softly, "It's not my destiny."
It's Su Murong's turn.
The long-legged man walked heavily to the ninth door. There was no illusion in the door, only a golden mirror that shone directly into people's hearts.
"puff……"
He was spitting blood, half-kneeling on the ground, his face pale.
Su Yao approached, looked at his miserable appearance, and sneered: "Tsk, seeing that you have committed many sins, you must have done a lot of immoral things."
The evildoer had a wry smile on his face, but a hint of calmness appeared in his eyes: "Yes. Before entering the secret realm, I knew I couldn't pass it."
"Then why are you here?" Su Yao raised his eyebrows.
"I'm not doing this for myself," Su Murong whispered. "I'm doing this for my son, Su Wentian. He's been suffering from a congenital heart disease since birth. All the famous doctors I've consulted say he won't live past ten."
He looked up at her, his voice choked with sobs: "The Fountain of Life can save him."
Su Yao was stunned, with a complicated expression.
"Can you save him?" Su Murong asked with difficulty.
She didn't answer, but just looked towards the heart door.
At that moment, the fifth door quietly opened.
Su Yao stepped into it, and the view before his eyes suddenly opened up.
This is a clear and holy space. The spring water is like a mirror, emitting a golden glow, and the spiritual energy is so rich that it is almost tangible.
She approached the spring, and saw a female figure reflected in the water... wearing a phoenix coronet and a red bridal gown embroidered with blood.
The woman was bleeding from her mouth and fell into the arms of a man in wedding clothes. The man's face was blurred.
The bride is Su Yao from the previous life.
The identity of the groom is unknown.
Immediately afterwards, a crying baby emerged from the water. The baby's heart seemed transparent and was beating slightly.
An old voice echoed: "Your Majesty, children born to demons violate the laws of nature. I'm afraid the young master won't survive..."
The sound stopped abruptly and the picture disappeared quickly.
The spring water was still, and only Su Yao's face at the moment remained on the surface: stunningly beautiful, cold and elegant like frost.
