Chapter 519: Bronze Gate

Inside this underground palace, just past the stone gate, it was as Xiao Fan had previously guessed; even after ten thousand years, those walls could still emit a yellow light, which was in itself quite miraculous.

Yet this place clearly resembled a paradise, surrounded by plants, with a blazing sun constantly present in the sky.

Maintaining all this surely required a massive amount of energy as support, but what kind of thing could sustain it?

Their group could not figure it out, so they continued on their way…

They headed straight forward, because they all knew the passage they had come through was gone…

One day… Two days… Three days… The group traveled for seven days…

They were all exhausted; if not for the large amount of Yao Beast meat in Xiao Fan's Storage Pouch that could replenish their spiritual power, they would have perished long ago…

"If anyone else had come in, even those in the Pi Hai Realm, if their spiritual power were sealed, they would likely face certain death here!"

The Formation Master from the Treasure Pavilion in their group spoke up…

No one refuted this, because it was a fact. At the same time, everyone felt fortunate; if it hadn't been Xiao Fan who came in, and if Xiao Fan hadn't happened to have a pot of spiritual spring water on hand that wasn't placed in his Storage Pouch… they would likely all have died here…

"Alright, let's continue moving forward and see what's ahead!" Xiao Fan let out a breath; he had been traveling for about ten days since entering this place.

If they were just Mortals, anyone would have died here.

As for the surrounding plants and vegetation, they didn't touch any of them. Things in such mysterious places were highly suspicious; these things were prone to being highly toxic.

The others had no objections and continued forward. Right now, the most important thing was no longer discovering what was inside this underground palace, but leaving this place… After all, survival was the most important thing.

Experiencing a period of transformation into Mortals had allowed them to understand hunger, suddenly making them feel the preciousness of life! Such a realization was very rare among Cultivators.

The team continued forward… Another day passed…

"Look, what, what is that!" Qiao Rong exclaimed, and everyone looked up.

Faintly, they could see an ancient bronze gate ahead!

This bronze gate was shockingly large; compared to this bronze gate, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were like ants!

"This, this is…" Everyone was shocked. This bronze gate was too big; how large must someone be to pass through this bronze gate?

"Let's go over and take a look!" Xiao Fan said. The group quickened their pace.

After a full hour, the group finally reached the foot of the bronze gate. The massive bronze gate was ancient and heavy; standing at the foot of the giant gate, they felt like ants.

"Could the stone gate outside be this big too?" Xiao Fan said, looking at the bronze gate.

After entering the underground palace, it was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see how high the top of the stone gate was. But this bronze gate was too huge, too shocking; standing under this bronze gate… he felt like an ant.

"It should be." The Formation Master in the group replied, feeling equally shocked…

"What kind of powerful person could create such an underground palace?" Wu Qingyan's gaze was dazed.

Everyone was shocked. It was impossible to know how heavy this bronze gate was; trying to break it open with brute force was simply impossible.

Next, it could only be left to the middle-aged Formation Master in their group. Xiao Fan and the two women, Qiao Rong and Wu Qingyan, sat comfortably to the side, and Xiao Jin also lay lazily on the ground.

The other two hired hands in the group also had nothing to do and were sitting in meditation to the side…

Xiao Fan used his Divine Thought to ask Wanxiang in his mind, wanting to ask this little fellow if it could break open this bronze gate. The latter replied in a milky voice: "It can be done."

Xiao Fan was relieved and simply let the Formation Master busy himself; if it really didn't work, he would step in.

This Formation Master was named Formation Master Cong Wen, and he was working hard there…

At this moment, Xiao Fan was using the Azure Flame Art to roast Yao Beast meat, with several pots of spiritual spring water placed to the side…

Qiao Rong and Wu Qingyan also took out various delicacies from their Storage Pouches, including a large amount of spiritual fruits and desserts… there was even wine.

Thus, the three of them sat to the side, raising their glasses and drinking, feeling very relaxed… After all, they couldn't help with matters related to the Formation.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged Formation Master from the Treasure Pavilion, Formation Master Cong Wen, gritted his teeth, constantly studying the Restriction on this giant bronze gate. Breaking open this bronze gate was too complex…

If it were normal times, it wouldn't be a problem. Previously, when their group entered this Secret Realm to break Restrictions, the others would carefully stand behind him. He would break various Restrictions, and at that time, his sense of presence was extremely strong. But now…

He felt like cursing. Xiao Fan and these people, not helping was one thing, but they were actually roasting meat and drinking over there?! Had they considered the thoughts of the person currently busy working?

If it weren't for the sake of his own life, Formation Master Cong Wen would have wanted to quit.

Just like that, the Formation Master spent a full three days breaking it before he finally unlocked this bronze gate!

The massive bronze gate slowly opened, though not completely; it only opened a small gap! But this was enough; it could accommodate them passing through.

"It, it's a success!" Formation Master Cong Wen almost cried, sitting down on the ground, exhausted.

"Let's go!" Xiao Fan patted his bottom and stood up, putting away the remaining food.
