Chapter 105: The Stone Gate

Although there was a glimmer of light within the cave, the area beyond the Fruit Tree remained shrouded in gloom.

The group exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of how to proceed. Huang Li examined the stone door, feeling along its surface in search of a mechanism to open it, but he found nothing.

"Do you think this pattern could be a talisman?" Huang Li pondered aloud, stroking his Ghost-Beating Staff.

"Unlikely. I recall seeing similar motifs on ancient pottery from foreign lands. They weren't shaped like birds, but they were said to represent worship, and the designs even appeared in some paintings," Bo Ji said with an air of certainty.

Hearing Bo Ji’s explanation, it was…

Observing Ye Zhen’s reaction, Su Hong’s expression eased significantly. She glanced at Bai Zihua, a flicker of relief crossing her eyes. However, Bai Zihua caught that look, and Su Hong hurriedly lowered her head, avoiding his gaze. Secretly, she felt annoyed with herself—why was she so afraid of Bai Zihua’s eyes?

It was said that Tang Li had offended Yi Fan’s fiancée, who then whispered poison into Yi Fan’s ear, making a scene with tears, tantrums, and threats of suicide until Tang Li was finally transferred.

Seeing this, the three-headed giant purple-gold ant grew anxious, squeaking out frantic commands to order the eerie giant ants to retreat to the Bone Mountain.

Others who harbored similar intentions, seeing how easily the path was cleared, immediately followed suit.

And so, the tense atmosphere of infighting was finally resolved. Having buried the hatchet, the group began to discuss once more how to cross the lava lake and escape the Burning Immortal Terrace, which stood isolated between heaven and earth.

"You didn't drink it either! You fight with your Zanpakuto, why can't I do the same?" she added suddenly, as if just recalling something.

This girl never did anything unnecessary. Yi Fan had always been the one serving her; this was the first time she had proactively poured him tea. As the saying goes, "When things are abnormal, there must be a demon afoot"—it seemed she definitely needed his help with something.

Mihawk continued to sip his coffee, a look of relief finally touching the corners of his mouth. Hanabi had voiced the complaints he had been suppressing in his heart.

"Tsk tsk, one with multiple personalities, the other schizophrenic—you two are truly a match made in heaven." In a flash, Kong Lu was reminded of Ju Liuli, who had split into two Menos Grande.

"You won't get that chance. But Zuo Yan is lucky to have a sister like you," Ye Kaicheng said with a smile.

For decades, there had never been a case of a popular star clashing with a major commercial conglomerate.

"Was this here when you came last time?" Ye An pointed to a line of text at the front and asked President Niu.

Taking the Great Daos they mastered as their foundation, they integrated various divine laws, gaining an increasingly profound evolution and understanding of the Five Elements Dao.

Just as he was contemplating his acting technique, he received a call from Ma Cheng, saying that Master Guo was filming a television series in the next few days and had specifically requested him for a supporting role.

Immediately after, a hand clutching a black longsword was seen severed from its owner’s body, flying high into the air.

This strike was not as simple as a standard hidden weapon launch; he had imbued the short blade with a sufficient amount of wind-attribute chakra, creating a surge of air pressure upon release.

"Alright, alright, your word is enough for me. It’s rare for your family to be reunited, so I won’t disturb you. Come over to my place for a meal another day," the uncle said, nodding and bowing as he took his leave.

The tribal sacrificial ceremony proceeded as scheduled within the Temple of the Feathered Serpent. Liu Wancheng and his three companions did not attend; they stayed holed up in their room for several days, discussing how to explore the temple and the sacred well.

"By the way, let me video call you guys so you can see. Open your chat app," Lan Haichen suddenly suggested.

"If it weren't for you, the Heir and I would never have reached this point!" Ru Yan gritted her teeth.

In such a situation, despite his cultivation being at a mediocre level, the boy remained fearless and domineering, even daring to bid farewell before leaving! A typical cultivator would not have even dared to think of it, let alone say it aloud.

I should call Chen Xi and ask if he has arrived. Just as Su Xiaoran picked up her phone, she realized Chen Xi should still be on the plane, so she lowered her hand.
