After the appearance of the ghost gate, the cultivators gathered outside the city wall showed excited expressions.
Behind this city wall, there was a relic of the Yellow Springs Old Immortal, rumored to be capable of cultivating to the level of an eight-stage scattered immortal with the Yellow Springs Scripture, as well as the experience of crossing the ninth scattered immortal tribulation in the Yellow Springs Old Immortal's lifetime.
At this moment, a simple and ancient gate emerged from the black stone, covered with dark red spots that resembled human blood.
Ding Yan, hidden in the crowd, watched the sudden appearance of the ghost gate. The silent circulation of the Heart Formula of the Heaven and Earth Daoying within his body caused two qi, one yin and one yang, to converge in his eyes. A illusory yin-yang symbol flashed in the depths of his pupils.
This method was not any kind of magic or Daoist art, but a use of the Heaven and Earth Daoying. The previous life's Ding Yan had spent a thousand years steeped in the Heaven and Earth Daoying, and there were very few people who were more profound in this technique than he was.
However, what Ding Yan did not expect was that even under the influence of the Heaven and Earth Daoying, he still could not detect any traces. The entire ghost gate was like a bottomless abyss, swirling.
Crack, crack, crack...
The door ring of the ghost gate trembled, emitting a muffled sound. The heavy iron gate slowly opened without anyone controlling it.
"Younger generations of the Qi Refining stage, step back!" Widow Old Taiyue slammed her dragon-head staff on the ground.
The unique immortal energy of the thunder tribulation scattered immortal emanated from the bottom of the staff, radiating out in a circular wave. The Qi Refining cultivators who were unable to avoid the onslaught were swept away like fallen leaves under this aura, leaving only a few scattered immortals standing in place. Ding Yan stood at a distance, his robe rustling, and the array surrounding his body had long been removed.
Looking at Widow Old Taiyue in front of him, Ding Yan remained silent. Even though he could drive away all those Qi Refining cultivators himself, he knew that he couldn't do it as easily as Widow Old Taiyue.
The Qi Refining cultivators who had been driven out also had pale faces, and there was a hint of fear in their eyes when they looked at Widow Old Taiyue.
Boom! The heavy iron door slammed against the city wall, emitting a deafening sound.
Before Ding Yan could see what was inside the door, an incredibly strong force of attraction burst out from within, its might causing even Ding Yan to feel awe. It was only then that he understood why Widow Old Taiyue had expelled those Qi Refining cultivators. This terrifying force, even he had to be careful dealing with it, let alone those Qi Refining cultivators who had not undergone the tribulation of casting off mortal life.
The huge entrance was like a devouring demonic den, and combined with the seductive plaque on the door, it was even more frightening.
Many of the Qi Refining cultivators who had harbored resentment before, after seeing this scene, all revealed a grateful expression.
"Thanks to that senior..."
"What exactly is inside this door that it can erupt with such terrifying power?"
"Without the cultivation of a scattered immortal, going in is no different from seeking death."
The mood of these Qi-refining cultivators is not to be mentioned. The black-robed Jinjiu faction stood up at an unknown time, standing side by side with the old lady Wumie, and the Five Source Wanderer, standing at the forefront of the ghost gate. The terrifying attraction coming from inside the gate had no influence on him.
"Be careful, the monster is about to appear," Jinjiu faction spoke for the first time.
His voice was extremely hoarse, like that of an octogenarian.
"Wuyuan old ghost, how are you recovering?" Wumie glanced at the Five Source Wanderer and asked.
"It's almost done," the Five Source Wanderer took out a magical weapon at some point and held it in his hand.
It was a disc-shaped magical weapon, with five colors on it, each representing one of the Five Source Wanderer's origins.
The Five Source Heavenly Art, the cultivation method of the Five Source Wanderer, started with the crossing of the mortal tribulation, attempting to condense five original sources. After going through the baptism of the immortal tribulation, the five original sources became more perfect. It is said that when this art is cultivated to its peak, it can reach the level of a five tribulation immortal.
"You young ones, come and help, regardless of your intentions. We must go all out to deal with the monster later, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless." Wumie nodded and then turned to scold several scattered immortals like Ding Yan and Yunmo wanderer.
He looked down on Qi-refining cultivators, but scattered immortals were still acceptable.
After all, the scattered immortals have all gone through the tribulation, and their bodies contain immortal energy. If they go all out, it will be a great help.
"Since the seniors have invited, how can we not comply." A handsome scattered immortal stepped forward, respectfully.
Seeing this, Ding Yan didn't say anything, but also took a few steps forward.
Wumie nodded in satisfaction, preparing to say something else. Unexpectedly, a strong scent of blood suddenly emanated from within the ghost gate.
The ground shook.
A glamorous skeleton emerged from the ghost gate.
The skeleton was extremely gigantic, with its skull almost touching the top of the city gate. It is worth mentioning that the ghost gate can be ten meters high. As the glamorous skeleton walked out step by step, the smell of blood around it became stronger, as if the skeleton had just crawled out of a sea of blood.
Giggling...
After the glamorous skeleton appeared, its jaw moved, as if speaking, but to everyone else, it sounded like an eerie sound of bone rattling.
"Be careful of the iron chain in its hand," Jinjiu faction reminded.
The last time the ghost gate opened, he almost suffered a great loss from the iron chain in the skeleton's hand. If it weren't for his profound cultivation, he probably would have perished that time.
Ding Yan followed his gaze and found that the glamorous skeleton was holding an iron chain as thick as a waist in its bloody bone claws. The iron chain was covered in runes, but due to the distance, Ding Yan couldn't see clearly.
"Attack!" Wumie took the lead in attacking.
Through the previous probe, she knew clearly that this monster would not retreat no matter what. If they want to get in, they can only force their way in.
With a step, Wumie's dragon-headed staff spun around as she stood in mid-air, shouting. A snake spirit soared out of the dragon-headed staff and rushed towards the skeleton, which was also a magical weapon.
The Five Source Wanderer took a step back and pointed at the disc. With the activation of the elemental force, the disc rapidly spun.
"Monster!" The Five Source Wanderer spat out a word.
Behind him, five specters emerged, one of which flickered and dived into the disc.
In an instant, a huge monster appeared on the disc, and together with Wumie's snake spiritual, it attacked the glamorous skeleton.
A purple fire flashed in the gigantic eyeholes of the skeleton.
Without using the iron chain, it only raised its left arm, and the bloody bone claws covered the sky, reaching towards the snake spirit and the monster. The Five Source Wanderer and Wumie split up, each casting their spells. The snake spirit and the monster twisted in the air, entangling the glamorous skeleton.
Their goal was not to fight the skeleton, but to entangle it for a moment, creating an opportunity for themselves to enter the inner city.
The glamorous skeleton's jaw moved again, and five blood-red auras appeared on its bloody bone claws.
Like a demon.
Like a spider web, it spread out and completely blocked the way into the city.
