Rebirth: Immortal Emperor Returns

eight gates

The direction that the complete map pointed to was at the northeastern part of Imperial City.

It was the deepest part of a chain of mountains. It was a very ordinary forest, and there weren't even any berserk beasts. So, that was also a place with very few people.

The distance to Imperial City was not that far, it was only about ten thousand kilometers. Therefore, even if one travelled at a normal speed that was at least ten times that of supersonic speed, it only took them about an hour to reach the place.

"According to the gathered maps, this is the nameless cave."

The central area of the mountain range was where the complete map eventually led to.

Everyone stopped in their tracks and their gazes gathered on the cave before them.

Looking at it from the outside, the entire cave was not very big. The entrance was only about ten square meters, and it did not look that different from the size of the cave entrance that the people of Shaanxi Province lived in.

"Could the map be a mistake?"

"That's right, such an inconspicuous cave doesn't even have any magical formations protecting it. How could there be any clues hiding to pinpoint the location of the strange fire?!"

"There's a mistake, there must be a mistake!"

Looking at the unremarkable and ordinary cave before their eyes, the experts from various powers shook their heads and voiced their doubts.

Almost all of them thought that the map must be wrong.

"Since you're here, why don't you go in and take a look!"

Lin Feng was not moved at all, and stepped inside after he finished speaking.

Bai Yu followed closely behind, followed by the eight experts from the Frozen Soul Sect.

"Let's go, this kid is right. We're already here, we still have to go in and take a look."

"Hurry up! If the map is correct, then we can't let this kid get on first!"

"Hurry up..."

The experts from the other forces hurriedly followed behind him as they urged him to enter.

Entering the cave, only then did the various powers and experts discover that, from the outside, it looked like a very ordinary cave with a different world inside.

As long as one passed through a short and narrow passage, they would be able to arrive at a wide and spacious area that was the size of a normal football field.

The several hundred experts from the various major powers were all gathered here, and there wasn't the slightest bit of congestion in their hearts.

"Look, there are eight light door s over there!"

"We can only choose one of the eight light door, and only one of them can lead us to the clue."

Directly in front of the wide area, there were eight tunnels: Gan, Sin, Kun, Li, Kan, Gen, Zhen, and Xun.

On top of it, a row of large words shining with light had appeared, clearly explaining the situation of the eight light door.

The eight gates represented eight different tunnels, each leading to different places in the depths of the cave. Only one of them led to the true interior of the cave.

"I wonder which one of these eight light door is the real passage?"

Powerful energy undulations surged on top of the light door. While everyone was muttering to themselves, there were experts trying to use the The Power of Spiritual Perception to look through the eight gates.

However, the moment his The Power of Spiritual Perception touched the roiling energy above the eight gates, it suddenly retreated.

Following that, as his entire body retreated, one mouthful after another of the dense blood s spat out.

"What a powerful recoil force!"

The faces of the experts from various forces abruptly changed drastically.

The person who had just made a move was a royal powerhouse. Even though he wasn't one of the ten royal powerhouse s, his strength was far beyond what people like them could compare to.

He never expected that such a powerful being would suffer such a terrifying backlash from a mere spiritual consciousness spying on him.

If it was them, then it would be alright for them to be slightly stronger. But if it was one of them who was the weakest, then the recoil force that was spying on them just now would be able to crush their The Power of Spiritual Perception in an instant.

Forget about the backlash, maybe the entire soul would receive a heavy blow.

"If the spiritual consciousness cannot be used to spy on us, does that mean we can only rely on luck?"

An expert sighed unwillingly.

"Eight light door, eight passages. If we rely on luck, the chances are too low!"

The other expert's words and expression were also filled with the same unwillingness.

"There should be a hint here, right?"

This was a meticulous expert. As he muttered to himself, his gaze began to scan his surroundings.

"Over there. There are a few large carved words."

After a moment of observation, this meticulous expert gained something.

Following the direction that he was pointing in, he was shocked to find four rows of large characters carved on the stone wall.

"Yao Zixue."

"A cup of pure jade."

"The soup is heavy."

"White Cloud Valley."

In an instant, everyone's attention was fully attracted by the sixteen big words written in four words.

He was sure that the 16 words carved on the stone wall would not be carved here for no reason. Perhaps it really had something to do with the secrets of the eight gates.

However, no matter how many experts from various forces tried to figure it out, they couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they tried.

"Ma De, I don't know what these four sentences mean either."

"Forget it, I won't guess anymore. I can just find a random light door and enter. If I'm lucky, maybe I can be faster and find the real clue to where the Mysterious Flame is."

An expert from the Barbarian Sect was known for cultivating the body, and his temper was the most irritable of all the strong warriors.

Amidst the impatient shouting, ten An expert from the Barbarian Sect s strode towards a nearby light door.

"Fuck, we won't be looking anymore, let's go!"

"Let's go, let's go. We can't figure it out anyway, so we can only delay them a little longer!"

"Let's take a gamble and see how lucky I am this time!"

"..."

With the departure of the An expert from the Barbarian Sect, the patience of the experts from various powers started to dry up. Other than that, they were also worried that An expert from the Barbarian Sect would be lucky enough to accidentally choose the right path and get there first.

The various factions continuously gave up on studying the four lines of sixteen characters one after another and used all sorts of weird methods to choose a light door to enter.

After only a dozen breaths of time, the only ones left standing were the Frozen Soul Sect, royal and the Four Great Families of Imperial City.

"A bunch of trash!"

From the beginning to the end, the attention of the Imperial City's Four Great Family powerhouse s and the royal powerhouse's dozens of people were completely focused on the four rows of sixteen big words without the slightest bit of hesitation.

After a short disdainful smile, the experts from the various powers turned their attention back to Chu Feng.

"Lin Gongzi, which direction should we go?"

Bai Yu asked.

The other Frozen Soul Sect disciples cast similar gazes of anticipation when they finished speaking.

In this mission, none of the various forces sent their helmsman and top rankers. After all, the Fiendgod Domain was already starting to make their move, and more rankers needed to stay behind to guard against the invasion of the Fiendgod Domain.

Moreover, this time around, they were only searching for the exact information regarding the astral fire. They were not searching for the true origin soul astral fire.

In the hearts of the other disciples of the Ice Soul Sect, Bai Yu was their pillar of support. Now that their pillar was being questioned by Lin Feng, they naturally viewed him as their pillar of support.

"Let's keep watching."

Lin Feng turned his head and said a few words before his line of sight fell onto the side of the wall, where a few lines of big words were carved.

After a long while, Lin Feng finally came to a realization and nodded his head:

"So that's how it is!"

Hearing this, Bai Yu's mood suddenly became incomparably agitated, "Lin … Young Master, did you find any clues? "

Her voice was loud and echoed through the cave.

Not only that, but because of the special dreamland of the cave, within a short period of time, the entire cave was filled with that extremely excited shout from earlier.

"Hmm?"

royal powerhouse and the Four Great Family powerhouse s were all alarmed by Bai Yu's shout. After a thoughtful "En", they all retracted their attention from the four lines of sixteen big words, and landed on Lin Feng's body.

"Ai!"

Lin Feng helplessly sighed, and slowly nodded his head:

"I'm not sure. It's just a guess."

"According to the meaning of these four lines of 16 words, behind this light door, is the true path to the depths of the cave."

As he spoke, he slowly pointed his finger at the carved word "Xun" on the light door.

"Sunset Gate?"

royal powerhouse frowned and muttered to herself.

After a few breaths, he seemed to have understood something and nodded his head, "So that's how it is!"

The reaction of the rankers from the Imperial City's four great families were basically the same as theirs. It was just that the time they had been quiet for was obviously longer.

The four lines and sixteen characters were actually a guessing game. If the strokes of the sixteen characters were disassembled and combined according to a certain pattern, it would become a big 'Xun' character.

"Let's go!"

royal powerhouse's movements were very fast, and she went through the light door at the first possible moment.

Following closely behind them were the experts from the Imperial City's Four Great Families.

"Let's go as well!"

When Lin Feng's gaze descended, he brought Bai Yu and the others in from the Sunsunda Sect.

"Boom, boom boom …"

"Rumble …"

Just as they passed through the Sunflower Sect, Lin Feng and his group sensed numerous berserk auras that fluctuated.

As the power surged, there were continuous, sky-high explosions, as if the One Heaven and Earth behind the Sunset Gate was on the verge of collapse.
