After the ascent failed

Chapter 357 The Gate of Life and Death

A storm eventually died down.

What is surprising is that even though it is believed that the Tianyuan Spiritual Tree fell into the hands of Jiuyan, no one in the Yaoshenzong said anything, and went about their own business as usual.

Ye Chunyang has been watching the changes in the situation until the Tianyuan Spiritual Tree is a foregone conclusion, and finally uses the reason of visiting to meet Fang Yu and Zhong Ming and express his intention to go.

Everyone thought that the Tianyuan Spiritual Tree was taken away by Jiu Yan, which was a good thing for Ye Chunyang, at least no one would pay attention to him because of it.

Hearing his intention to leave, Fang Yu and Zhong Ming were a little surprised at first, but they didn't stop him. Obviously, Ye Chunyang's intention to leave the island was already in their expectation.

Even before Ye Chunyang left, he told him to be careful of Jiuyan.

Regarding this, Ye Chunyang seemed a little stunned. Although he didn't take Jiu Yan too seriously, he didn't refute their good intentions either.

After everything was ready, Ye Chunyang stayed on the island for another two days. It was not until dawn on the third day that he and Yu Guzi escaped from the barrier without disturbing anyone and disappeared into the vast sea.

……

A majestic giant mountain, towering and majestic.

Standing on the top of the mountain, you can go up to the sky and down to the mountains.

Looking at Zhongzhou, only the inner gate of Kunlun Ruins can have such a scene of swallowing mountains and rivers.

However, what is surprising is that there is nothing on this magnificent mountain, only a dilapidated Taoist temple, which seems to be old.

All Kunlun Ruins disciples know that this is the place where Supreme Elder Hao De Zhenren practiced, and all those who pass by here salute solemnly.

However, most of the disciples know better that the reason why Master Haode meditates in this dilapidated Taoist temple is actually another reason.

This is not only a Taoist temple, but also the entrance to the Gate of Life and Death, which is guarded by Daoist Haode himself.

Today, there are many people outside the Taoist temple. From the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, disciples from all peaks gather, but there is no sound. Everyone is looking forward to it, as if waiting for something.

In the front, Master Haode and Taoist Dengxuan are playing chess, looking indifferent as usual, without any signs of anxiety.

Taoist Yichen and Elder Jiufeng stood beside him in silence, sometimes paying attention to their chess game, sometimes looking at the top of the mountain, but no one spoke.

After an unknown amount of time, Taoist Dengxuan looked up at the sky and suddenly said, "Senior Brother Haode, how long have they been in?"

"It should be three days." Master Hao De gave a son and replied like this.

"Three days, if there are no accidents, there will be a result soon." Taoist Dengxuan's eyes flickered slightly, and no one could see what he was thinking.

Master Haode said: "Junior brother, you lost this round."

Daoist Dengxuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the chessboard. There was no way out, and it was a dead end.

"After all, senior brother is superior in chess, and Deng Xuan is willing to bow down." Taoist Deng Xuan said without losing grace.

Master Hao De said with a smile: "Junior brother is undecided, so he naturally lost this game, but it seems that junior brother is very concerned about the results of the trials of those two juniors."

Taoist Dengxuan didn't answer, but his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Everything is determined by God. It depends on the luck of the two of them who will pass through the gate of life and death." The real Haode smiled unabated, and said: "You don't have to worry too much, junior brother. , but behind the foundation, although the gate of life and death is dangerous, it may not be difficult for them."

Taoist Dengxuan frowned, and after a long silence, he suddenly said: "Although that is the case, senior brother, you also know that in recent years, there have been frequent visions and many changes in the Life and Death Sect. I am afraid that some unexpected accident may happen."

After these words came out, Taoist Dengxuan's expression became obviously gloomy.

"That's their fate, you and I can't reverse it." Master Haode shook his head, "What's more, you and I let them in this time not only for experience, but also to find out this matter?"

Taoist Dengxuan pondered for a while, and stopped talking.

As the conversation of the two giants fell, there was a silence beside them.

Elder Jiufeng stood still, looking at the top of the mountain all the time. They had been waiting here for three days and three nights, without moving a single bit.

In the rear, many disciples were also waiting, with fanaticism in their eyes.

"Daddy, do you think Senior Sister Gu will win?"

Among the crowd, a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old asked a middle-aged man in a black robe.

The middle-aged man in black frowned slightly, but did not answer.

Seeing his dignified expression, the girl wanted to ask something more, but the words finally came to an end.

"Ruo Ruo, don't worry, Senior Sister Gu has advanced to the Spirit Transformation Realm and cultivated mana, so she will be safe and sound in this life and death gate experience." A glamorous woman in her early twenties said next to her.

"I hope so." Guan Ruoruo pursed her lips and said, "Although who is the leader has little to do with us, but sister Yu, you have also seen that what Zhang Wuchen has done these years makes people uncomfortable. Next time, I would rather see Senior Sister Gu as the leader."

The glamorous woman's expression was slightly stagnant, and she remained silent.

"Zhang Wuchen has indeed gone too far in recent years, but it is just for his own competition for the position of leader and to win over influence. It is not out of line. The two grand elders have not stopped you. You two should not discuss lightly." The middle-aged man in the black robe said Youyou Voice.

"But daddy, Zhang Wuchen secretly suppressed his disciples and did everything possible. Now many disciples are forced to support him. The means are too despicable." Guan Ruoruo refused.

"So what?" Taoist Yichen said calmly.

Personally, he doesn't quite agree with Zhang Wuchen's behavior, but from the perspective of the superior, if he doesn't have this bit of courage, even if he wins in the gate of life and death, he is not a leader.

Guan Ruoruo opened his mouth and muttered something to himself.

She could understand what Daoist Yichen said. Although both Gu Qian and Zhang Wuchen had advanced to the spiritual realm, judging from the different performances of the two in the past three years, Zhang Wuchen was obviously much more active, while Gu Qian was mostly practicing outside. , After returning, she retreated alone, and did not think of winning people's hearts, which made her a little worried.

"Ruo Ruo, you don't have to think too much. In fact, in my opinion, Gu Qian is indeed more suitable to be the head of Kunlun Ruins than Zhang Wuchen. Zhang Wuchen is cruel and extreme. It may not win people's hearts." Taoist Yichen was silent for a while, and sighed softly.

"That's natural. Sister Gu's talent is outstanding, and she has made great contributions in repairing the seal of Tianxuan Mountain. Who should she be the head of the sect?" Guan Ruoruo said proudly, obviously supporting Gu Qian.

Taoist Yichen laughed helplessly, and said: "Although that's the case, it still depends on the results of this experience. If Gu Qian can't win, she will never be the head of the sect."

At this point, he looked towards the top of the mountain and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Moreover, there have been frequent changes in the Gate of Life and Death recently, I'm afraid their experience will not be so smooth this time."

"Father, what is so mysterious about the Gate of Life and Death?" Guan Ruoruo asked in surprise.

Lin Yu on the side also looked curiously.

The disciples of the Kunlun Ruins only know that the Gate of Life and Death is a place where candidates for the head of the past must go through experience, but ordinary disciples are not qualified to know what is inside.

Even so, there are still a few rumors spreading, which seems to be extremely dangerous, and a little carelessness may lead to death.

Taoist Yichen's eyes flickered slightly, and he said after a long time: "It's okay to tell you, the gate of life and death is formed by the gathering of the negative energy of the Kunlun Ruins.

"Aura of Negative Vein?"

Guan Ruoruo and Lin Yu looked puzzled, they had never heard of such news.

"Heaven and earth have pros and cons, and everything has yin and yang. We cultivators cultivate pure aura, and there are naturally negative auras in the world. Where the aura is stronger, the negative aura is proportional to it. The huge mountain gate of Kunlun Ruins, negative The qi of the meridian has been accumulated all year round and has nowhere to be released, so the ancestors tried to trap this qi in the gate of life and death."

Taoist Yichen said slowly.

"The spirit of negative veins will give birth to all kinds of demon spirits. They have been trapped for many years. Like human monks, they also know the method of cultivation. The candidates for the head of the past generations have entered the life and death gate to practice, and they are responsible for killing these demons. The number of demons hunted It will be recorded in their immortal cards."

"but……"

Having said that, Taoist Yichen paused slightly.

"Father, but what?" Guan Ruoruo couldn't help but asked in surprise.

Taoist Yichen looked at Taoist Haode and Taoist Dengxuan who were still playing chess in front of him, and said: "Some time ago, the two grand elders called the elders of Jiufeng to have a meeting. Absorb, fear that a big monster will be born, and Gu Qian and Zhang Wuchen will be more dangerous if they go in this time."

Guan Ruoruo's face changed slightly.

"I've heard Daoist Ye say about the withering of the spirit grass in the medicine garden. At that time, it seemed that the sect also caused a shock. Could it be that the two are really related?" Suspicion flashed in Guan Ruoruo's beautiful eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Ye? That kid Ye Xiaobao?" Daoist Yichen's expression changed.

"Exactly." Guan Ruoruo smiled wryly.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen that kid a few years ago. Could it be that he's not in the sect?" Daoist Yichen recalled certain scenes, and his face was a little gloomy.

"Ye Daoyou has always been in the sect, but he usually takes care of the spiritual herbs in the medicine garden, and he didn't even come to the fight for the head of the sect." Lin Yu interjected.

Taoist Yichen nodded when he heard the words, and didn't say anything, just thinking of the intersection with "Ye Xiaobao", his complexion couldn't help turning ugly.

Suddenly, a throbbing came from under his feet.

From the initial gentleness to more frequent, the whole mountain range began to tremble.

Everyone's eyes narrowed.

Daoist Haode and Taoist Dengxuan, who were playing chess in front of them, also stopped suddenly, and then, as if they had a premonition, they raised their heads and looked towards the top of the mountain.

"Are you going out?"

A gloomy look flashed in the eyes of Master Haode, and he muttered to himself.

Taoist Dengxuan put down the chess pieces, stood up straight, and stared at the mountain top with his hands behind his back, with anticipation on his face.

For today, he spent a lot of energy on Zhang Wuchen, and hoped that he would not let himself down.

Elder Jiufeng also realized something, and they all took a step forward.

The tremors in the mountains were still going on, but no one paid attention to them, their eyes only focused on the top of the mountain.

At this moment, a beam of black and white intertwined light shot out of thin air, straight into the sky, and then a wave of light like a scorching sun swept across all directions, and everyone saw a huge yin-yang fish pattern across the void, and two figures faintly appeared inside!
