Towards the Path of Heaven

Chapter 257

If they wanted to enter the altar after opening it, they would have to donate a portion of the power. Otherwise, they would be surrounded by everyone present.

Even Yan Chutian wasn't that arrogant until fighting with so many people. Speaking of which, he was the one with the lowest cultivation here.

Hence, Yan Chutian, Qiu Yu, and Luo Xue had to follow the crowd into the formation formed by the disciples of the Ice Region. Then, following the guidance of the disciple, they donated their own spiritual energy.

With the help of so many people, a stone hammer with a powerful light slowly appeared under the operation of the formation set up by the disciples from the Ice Region.

However, even though this stone hammer seemed powerful, it was in reality only mediocre. Wanting to use it to open a stone altar was no different from a fool's dream.

This was not because they were unable to gather a large amount of spiritual energy, but because everyone was selfish and wanted to save as much energy as possible.

How could they break the seal so easily if they were not as thoughtful?

Seeing this, the disciple from the Ice Region and Ye Xuan's face darkened. Then, Ye Xuan hurriedly said loudly, "Don't hold back. If the spring stops radiating, you won't be able to open the altar even if you try your best!"

Perhaps the words of the young master of the Ice Region were influential, but the amount of spiritual energy contributed by the crowd surged. Therefore, the stone hammer grew even bigger. The body of the hammer was emitting light and emitting a strong pressure.

However, while the others used a lot of energy, Yan Chutian still looked relaxed and did not use much energy.

Because even though spring did not gush, Yan Chutian was confident he could unseal it even without the help of so many people. However, it was obviously impossible for him to do so now, so he had to maintain his strength.

As the crowd continued to pour out their spiritual energy, the light of the stone hammer became even more dazzling. When the light reached a certain level, the disciple from the Ice Region suddenly pressed his hand down to control the large stone hammer and violently smashed it on top of the altar.

"Boom…!"

A deafening roar spread out, but one attack was clearly unable to open the stone altar. Instead, cracks spread in the stone hammer, as if it could break at any moment.

It is a difficulty breaking seals with violence. If there were only one or a few people, they would not be able to sustain such a large consumption. However, there were countless geniuses in this seal-breaking array. Thus, as they poured their spiritual energy into it, the crack on the stone hammer quickly healed. Then, it was lifted high up in the air and smashed on top of the stone altar!

"Boom…!"

Every time the stone hammer was crushed to its full strength, it required a lot of spiritual power to refine it. Under the enormous price, the seemingly indestructible ancient stone altar finally had a small crack on its top.

The appearance of these cracks undoubtedly made many people confident. As a result, they poured more spirit power into the hammer, making it stronger than before.

No matter how strong the seal was, it would not be able to withstand a series of violent attacks. In fact, ever since the crack appeared, the opening of the stone altar had already been a foregone conclusion.

Finally, after somehow how many times the stone hammer was smashed, the top of the stone altar continued to shatter. Then, amidst the rumbling, a huge crack appeared before everyone's eyes.

The seal has been broken!

Once the seal was opened, no one cared about the situation before them. They immediately rushed out of line and rushed into the crack without caring about anything else.

Seeing this, Yan Chutian and the other two naturally did not show any weakness. After all, they had participated in the operation of the seal-breaking array. Therefore, one by one, they rushed out and headed straight for the crack on the stone altar.

"Huussa...!"

The sound of the wind breaking continued to sound. Yan Chutian and the other two girls followed closely behind. Spiritual energy surged around their bodies as they rushed into the crevice at full speed.

However, when they had actually passed through that gap, Yan Chutian suddenly realized that the entrance was actually set up like spatial teleportation. In other words, if they rushed through here, they would not know where they would be sent.

However, since they had reached this step, Yan Chutian was naturally unable to retreat. He could only continue to rush forward. However, he thought that he would most likely be separated from Qiu Yu and Luo Xue for a short time in these ruins.

Right now, Yan Chutian also did not know where he had arrived. He could only see that this was a huge part. Moreover, there were many similar entrances around the passageway, like a labyrinth.

However, this was unable to stop Yan Chutian. After traveling extensively in the Heaven Realm, it was not difficult for him to discern that this should be a simple checkpoint.

From the looks of it, what was sealed under the stone altar was not a ruin, but a land of opportunity.

Such a first checkpoint might be troublesome for many practitioners, but it was not so for Yan Chutian as he had a pair of Spiritual Eyes. This is the benefit of too many people.

The vertical eyes between his eyebrows slowly opened, and Yan Chutian controlled the Spiritual Eye to continuously scan the surroundings.

Under the scanning of his Spiritual Eye, he discovered that the surrounding passageways were not simple. There were some unique auras attached to that passageway. They could not be detected with the naked eye, but under the observation of the Spiritual Eye, he was able to find that the aura was actually of a different color!

Each piece has only one color, and there will never be two colors. If there was a second color, there would definitely be a fork in the road.

Yan Chutian did not know what this meant, but almost instinctively, Yan Chutian felt that he should not walk around casually. Instead, he had to choose a certain color aura and move forward.

And he did not know if Yan Chutian's instincts were right, but as he moved forward along the purple aura, he discovered that this aura was constantly being severed. In other words, this purple aura guided him forwards!

From this, Yan Chutian could really make a reasonable guess. It may be the same for other colors as well. As long as he continued to move forward along the aura of a certain color, it was the right way to pass through the checkpoint.

Thinking of this, Yan Chutian could not help but worry about Qiu Yu and Luo Xue. If they had also experienced the same situation as him, he really did not know if they could find a way to pass through the checkpoint like him. After all, they did not have Spiritual Eyes …

However, Yan Chutian knew that no matter how worried he was, it was unnecessary. Anyway, he couldn't find them.

Therefore, with a hint of worry in his heart, Yan Chutian quickly calmed down and continued to focus on moving forward along the aura of color, looking for his own opportunities.

Following the aura of color and moving forward, if one did not possess the Spiritual Eye, Yan Chutian was like a headless fly running around randomly.

And after moving forward like this for about an hour, Yan Chutian finally found a difference in the surrounding situation. He had walked into a long passageway, and there was no longer a fork in the road, only a path in front of him.

Yan Chutian knew that he should have passed the checkpoint on the first day.

After moving forward for more than 15 minutes, Yan Chutian finally saw the end of the passageway in front of him. There's actually a stone door.

This stone door was also strange. On the simple and unadorned door, there was a striking blood red word that seemed to be carved with fresh blood.

Death!

For a moment, an extremely strong smell of blood flowed into his face. Even Yan Chutian felt nauseous.

He knew why such a blood red word could have such a strange side. That was because this blood red word was probably formed by the blood of countless people, and the owner of that blood must have tragically died.

The word blood red that was not even the size of the abbot could be said to be a river of blood!

Such a scene made Yan Chutian think of the ruins when he first entered the ancient ruins. There were many corpses there, and they were full of hatred. They do not want to die tragically.

Between the two, could it have something to do?

However, Yan Chutian knew that he could not think of anything by thinking like this, so he wasted no time thinking about it. Instead, he directly stepped forward and walked to the stone door.
