"Second Senior Brother, tell us, what did you experience just now?" Chu Lingwei was very curious about what kind of inner demon her Second Senior Brother had just encountered.
From his expression earlier, it looked like he had been fighting.
"Nothing happened," Nangong Luo said with a wry smile, standing up and walking to the mural, studying it intently.
It seemed no one wanted to expose their inner demons to the public.
"Second Senior Brother, do you have any good methods to wake them up?" Chu Lingwei and the others had been sitting in the stone chamber for two hours. People were waking up one after another, but three of them were still not conscious.
"There's no method. Inner demons can only be overcome by themselves," Nangong Luo shook his head. In fact, there was a way to wake them up.
"Why don't we just kill them?"
At this moment, a cultivator of the Heavenly Transformation Realm from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect exclaimed loudly. They had been trapped here for too long. If others came in and snatched their opportunities, it would be truly unfair.
Upon hearing this, no one responded.
Those standing here were all powerful figures from various major sects, and there were interconnections of interests between these sects.
Privately, no matter how fiercely they fought, as long as it was not known to others, no one would interfere. But now, with people from all the major sects present, killing someone would mean being an enemy of all the sects on the Xuan Tian Continent. No one was willing to be the first to stick their neck out.
Seeing that no one responded, the cultivator from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect chuckled and found a corner to sit down.
Since no one was in a hurry, he would accompany them until the end.
An hour passed, and the three people still had not woken up.
"It seems none of you wish to leave this place?" The voice of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect cultivator once again entered everyone's ears. Chu Lingwei, listening to this voice, surprisingly felt a hint of agreement.
Chu Lingwei quickly shook her head. How could that be? How could she possibly agree with such a proposal?
"Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, this cultivator from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect has a problem." Chu Lingwei recited the Heart Cleansing Mantra silently for a while, letting her mind become clear, before realizing how soul-stirring the words of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect cultivator had been just now.
"Hmm, he is instigating everyone to kill each other." Su Yan's cold gaze shot towards the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect cultivator. Why was he doing this? Did he not want to leave this place at all?
"Fellow Daoist Su, why are you looking at me like that? Do you not agree with my idea? Do you not want to get out?" The Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect cultivator stood up. It was clear he recognized the cultivators from their Spiritual Cultivation Academy.
"Fellow Daoist, are you truly a disciple of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect?"
Nangong Luo stepped forward, blocking Su Yan, and examined him from head to toe. He shook his head, "You are definitely not a disciple of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect. I have once paid my respects to the Bodhi Relic of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, and there is no scent of the Bodhi Relic on you."
Disciples of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, upon formally entering the sect, would all go to pay their respects to the Bodhi Relic, and they would carry its aura.
This also allowed disciples of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect to easily recognize each other as fellow disciples when meeting outside.
The cultivator from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect's eyes flickered upon hearing Nangong Luo's words, "You are a disciple of the Spiritual Cultivation Academy. The Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect would never allow you to enter the Bodhi Relic."
Nangong Luo laughed, his gaze sharp as he swept over everyone, "Since you recognize me as a disciple of the Spiritual Cultivation Academy, you should also know that I am the young master of the Nangong family."
Upon hearing Nangong Luo's words, the cultivators standing there stiffened and unconsciously took a stance opposite to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect cultivator.
"Who are you?" A spiritual energy attack from a cultivator of the Divine Concealment Sect flew towards the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect cultivator. He dodged quickly, his movements not like those of a cultivator.
"Hahahaha."
The Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect cultivator laughed heartily, slowly retreated, leaning against the wall, and his body actually disappeared.
"He knows the way to leave this place," the Divine Concealment Sect cultivator grumbled inwardly, regretting not having captured him earlier.
"No need. Those three have already woken up." Su Yan looked at the three people who had been trapped in their inner demons. They were slowly opening their eyes, their bodies went limp, and they slumped to the ground.
"They've woken up, we should be able to leave now."
Unsure which cultivator spoke, the stone chamber that had trapped them began to slowly dissipate.
"Little Junior Sister, let's go."
Nangong Luo looked around. The walls had disappeared, but countless stone doors appeared before them.
Nangong Luo pulled Chu Lingwei to a stone door and said, "I suppose entering each of these doors will lead to a different scene."
"Yes, whether it's fortune or disaster depends on our destiny," Su Yan nodded. He glanced back. There were sixteen cultivators here, but only six stone doors.
This meant that several people would have to enter through one stone door.
"Little Junior Sister, you choose a door for us." Nangong Luo letting Chu Lingwei choose the door was also a way of telling the cultivators behind them not to follow them.
Chu Lingwei looked at the stone doors before them. They were identical, except for the numbers marked on them. She tried to release her divine sense to check the situation inside, but her divine sense was blocked by a barrier and bounced back.
"I want to choose this one," Chu Lingwei pointed to the last door. She liked the number six.
"Alright, we'll go through this one." Nangong Luo didn't even hesitate. He pulled Chu Lingwei into the stone door, and Su Yan quickly followed.
Stepping through the stone door, they found themselves in a similar stone chamber. There were no murals here, nor any barriers.
"Everyone be careful, this stone chamber moves." Nangong Luo opened his Warm Jade Haotian Fan, shielding Chu Lingwei behind him. The speed at which this stone chamber moved was very slight, but it seemed to be slowly retreating.
Chu Lingwei quickly summoned her Ice Jade Cold Frost Sword and stared at their surroundings.
The stone walls on all four sides were continuously moving outwards and then slowly retracting. Staring at them for too long would cause discomfort to the eyes.
"Second Senior Brother, if it keeps going like this, it won't work." Chu Lingwei closed her eyes. Her eyes were particularly uncomfortable now. If they stayed any longer, she felt she would go blind.
"Second Senior Brother, how about we try to force our way through?" Su Yan also felt a bit uncomfortable and suggested.
"Alright, I'll go first." Nangong Luo swung his Warm Jade Haotian Fan, hitting the wall heavily before falling to the ground.
It had no effect whatsoever.
Chu Lingwei activated her Ice Jade Cold Frost Sword and sent it into the air, unleashing ten thousand streams of spiritual energy that scattered in all directions.
"Where is it?" Chu Lingwei pointed to a spot ahead. That particular wall had not moved at all. It must be there.
Hearing his Little Junior Sister's voice, Su Yan leaped forward and struck the spot heavily with his artifact. Instantly, the wall broke open, revealing a stone table with three wooden boxes on it.
"There are three wooden boxes here, let's each choose one," Nangong Luo said, a smile appearing in his eyes as he looked at the wooden boxes. It was truly not easy to find a tangible object after coming here.
"Second Senior Brother, you choose first."
