He flicked his fingertips lightly, and streams of spiritual energy transformed into golden runes, landing precisely on specific locations on the stone gate.
As the runes were embedded, the patterns on the stone gate seemed to be activated, bursting out with dazzling light.
"open!"
Chen Yang shouted softly, and the last rune struck into the stone gate.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the stone door slowly opened, and an ancient and vicissitudes of life breathed in, as if a giant beast that had been sleeping for thousands of years had finally awakened.
"It's done!"
Li Qingge cried out in surprise, her beautiful eyes shining with excitement. She quickly walked to Chen Yang's side, eager to see what secrets were hidden behind the stone gate.
"Be careful, follow me closely." Chen Yang reminded and stepped into the stone gate first.
In front of me is a deep passage with ancient murals carved on the walls on both sides. Although the colors are mottled, you can still vaguely see the grandeur of the past.
The content of the mural seems to be telling a story, a story about the battle between heaven and earth.
In the picture, the evil demons and humans were shouting and killing each other, magic weapons were colliding, and spiritual energy was surging, rendering the entire world in chaos.
It’s clearly just a mural, but it feels as if it’s alive.
It was as if the great battle recorded in it was still happening before everyone's eyes!
“Wow… so amazing…”
Li Qingge was shocked by the grandeur of the mural and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"The content on this mural seems to be a scene of a great battle between evil spirits in ancient times."
Chen Yang observed the mural carefully, frowning slightly.
"It seems that the owner of this tomb is probably not a simple person."
As the one who finally defeated the evil demon, he has a very deep memory of that battle!
The murals in front of him were exactly the pictures that matched everything that happened that day.
The passage was deep and winding, and the contents of the murals became increasingly shocking. Evil spirits were rampant, and countless lives were lost. The once celestial mountain and pavilion had been reduced to a scorched earth, leaving Li Qingge trembling with fear.
"These evil demons deserve to die!" Li Qingge couldn't help but curse.
Chen Yang smiled faintly: "It's all in the past. There's no point thinking about it now."
Although he said it calmly, he was slightly surprised in his heart.
The content of these murals was almost identical to the battle in his memory.
Could it be that the owner of this tomb, like him and those powerful people in the holy land, also survived the catastrophe?
But if that were the case, why would such a strong man who survived the catastrophe build such a strange place here?
"Chen Yang, look!"
Li Qingge suddenly pointed forward, with a hint of fear in his tone.
Chen Yang followed her gaze and saw a white mist at the end of the passage.
The fog rolled around, vaguely visible, as if something was moving in it.
"Be careful, there's something strange about this fog."
Chen Yang grabbed Li Qingge's hand and protected her behind him.
A sudden warm touch on the little hand made Li Qingge's heart move slightly.
But the situation was urgent at the moment and she didn't have time to think too much.
Chen Yang didn't notice the girl's thoughts and looked carefully, only to see that the mist was not ordinary.
Instead, it is composed of countless tiny runes that exude a strange aura, as if they will come alive at any time.
"Is this...an ancient forbidden technique, the Soul-Bewitching Mist?"
Chen Yang frowned slightly. Although this bewitching fog was not a very powerful restriction.
But it is weird and difficult to deal with. Once you get caught in it, it is easy to lose your mind and eventually become a walking corpse.
"Then...then what should we do?"
"Aren't there too many strange things about this place?"
"You and I are only Foundation Establishment cultivators after all. How about we... withdraw first?"
Li Qingge was a little panicked. She held Chen Yang's hand tightly as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
The journey, which had not even started for two hours, had indeed frightened the little girl who thought she was fearless.
Li Qingge always thought that he was quite brave.
But today there are two large formations here, and there are also murals recording the ancient war.
Even the corpses of Nascent Soul masters were turned into dry bones here. This was far beyond their ability to intervene in the Foundation Establishment stage!
Chen Yang patted her hands and gestured to her to be at ease: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Seeing Li Qingge's pale face, Chen Yang found it amusing. He gently pinched her soft and boneless little hand and smiled.
"What are you afraid of? It's just a little fog. How can it eat you up?"
Li Qingge's pretty face flushed, and she came back to her senses from her fear of the unknown. She quickly pulled her hand back and said stubbornly.
"Who... who's scared! I just think this place is weird, so it's best to leave as soon as possible!"
Chen Yang didn't expose her, but just looked at her with a smile, which made Li Qingge feel uneasy and she couldn't help asking.
"You...what are you looking at?"
"I was thinking, if you are really scared, just say it directly. I won't laugh at you." Chen Yang teased her deliberately.
"Who... who said I was scared!" Li Qingge suddenly became anxious and said with his neck stiff.
"I just think that the purpose of our trip is to seek opportunities, not to die. There is no need to take risks for these inexplicable things!"
"Okay, okay, whatever you say is what it is." Chen Yang smiled and shook his head, pulling her back.
Although this bewitching fog posed no threat to Chen Yang, Li Qingge was only at the Foundation Establishment stage after all. If he got caught in it, it would be no joke.
It’s okay to tease the younger generation, but there has to be a limit.
Chen Yang pulled Li Qingge's arm and retreated all the way back to the entrance of the passage.
"This ghost place is very weird. I'll take you out first, and we'll come back to come back when we have a chance." Chen Yang said.
Although Li Qingge was afraid in his heart and had just thought about leaving, when he really wanted to leave, he said stubbornly and curiously.
"Since you're here, are you just leaving like this? I really want to know what's hidden behind this enchanting fog!"
Chen Yang knocked her head and scolded her with a smile: "It's already late, and you're still thinking about adventure? Your life is more important. Be obedient and get out first."
After saying that, he was about to pull Li Qingge away.
But at this moment, Chen Yang suddenly trembled all over, as if he had realized something, and suddenly turned his head to look into the depths of the fog.
"What's wrong?" Li Qingge was startled by his sudden action.
"Wait, I sensed something." Chen Yang frowned, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"You sensed something?"
Li Qingge was confused by his question.
"This fog is so thick, what else can it feel like besides being cold and gloomy?"
Chen Yang didn't say anything, but just stared at the depths of the fog, as if he wanted to see through the layers of fog.
"Something's wrong! It's definitely wrong!"
