Chapter 385 - 171: In Ancient Times, One Crossed the Dragon Gate; Now, One Establishes a Grotto Heaven

The ancient lands reappear today.

"These extraordinary places, once nestled within that realm, are sealed within the Mountain and River Divine Cauldron, now seeing the light of day once again?"

"It shouldn’t be limited to just that..."

"Compared to the reappearance of such geographical environments, the Sacrificial Spirit Hall has also undergone changes, though to a lesser extent."

"Therefore, this divine light descending from the heavens is a combination of both; in some places, it’s the reappearance of the ancient lands, while in other regions, there are genuine changes happening, making them even more extraordinary."

Qin Jin’s thoughts became clear.

"Dragon Gate Peak."

His gaze landed on the stone stele, taking a few steps forward, arriving before it.

"An extraordinary place that can be preserved within the Mountain and River Divine Cauldron until now must be remarkable."

"Here, it’s highly probable that not only is Spiritual Power more abundant, there should also be other supernatural phenomena contained within."

His thoughts flipped, and Qin Jin’s inner Spirit Ruins surged with Spiritual Power, tentatively landing on the stone stele.

He prepared to try multiple approaches to see what makes this Dragon Gate Peak truly remarkable.

Spiritual Power descended upon the stone stele.

In silence, Qin Jin’s Spiritual Power vanished, seemingly absorbed directly by this Boundary Stele.

"It is indeed not an ordinary object."

Seriousness rose on his face; Qin Jin hesitated no more, with a surge of thoughts, Spiritual Power like waves swept towards the stone stele, pouring into it!

As Spiritual Power flowed, initially calm to the extreme, the characters "Dragon Gate Peak" began to glow, and amidst the flickering light, the entire stone stele radiated brilliance. Under Qin Jin’s gaze, the stone stele became the origin, and above it, a phantom stele appeared, enlarged countless times, suspended overhead.

Upon this expanded stele phantom were Celestial Cyan Characters; random and disordered, they were engraved at various places on the stele’s body.

With one glance, Qin Jin already comprehended their meaning.

Those inscriptions were names and messages.

His gaze swept across, there was quite a bit of information.

[Celestial Cyan Sealed Young God, crossing the Dragon Gate here]

[Jingcan Sword Sect Su Changqing, surpassing the Dragon Gate today, advancing further]

[Four Symbols Sacred Land Qin Feiyu, leaving a mark here]

[...]

The inscriptions varied, and Qin Jin could faintly sense the difference between new and old in the engraved texts above. Some inscriptions seemed quite ancient, while others appeared fairly new, as if they had been left not long ago.

"This Dragon Gate Peak, from ancient times to the present, countless years have passed."

"The difference in the inscriptions can only prove that within the sealing of the Mountain and River Divine Cauldron, it has remained in a state of complete stillness without any change."

Thoughts flashed through his mind.

Qin Jin’s expression grew increasingly solemn.

The content of the messages was not much, but it revealed extremely crucial information within.

[Dragon Gate Peak]

It truly seems to harbor a Dragon Gate that can be leaped through!

On the phantom stone stele, the inscriptions flickered with subtle light.

Qin Jin’s gaze focused above, his Spiritual Power expanded, sensing, and probing the specific situation.

At the moment of spiritual contact with one of the messages.

The text burst into light; in Qin Jin’s vision, that line of message text unexpectedly detached from the stele, alternating and transforming, forming a phantom screen, entirely blank without any content.

"What is this?"

Confusion arose in Qin Jin’s heart.

The screen hung empty before him.

Hesitating for a moment, Spiritual Power surged from Qin Jin’s fingertip, pointing at the screen.

The screen rippled.

Upon the screen, Qin Jin’s Spiritual Power truly formed a point, appearing above.

Witnessing this, Qin Jin’s eyes narrowed slightly, faintly grasping a conjecture.

Within the Spirit Ruins, the Thunder Marsh was activated, Qin Jin used his finger as a brush, manipulating power, and with a subtle movement of thoughts, a shape of a Qilin was carved with Spiritual Power.

This was a technique embedded within the Thunder Marsh Technique.

With an outstretched finger, the Qilin rushed forward, its inner power not abundant but exceedingly exquisite. At the moment of rushing toward the screen, waves arose, and this Spiritual Power Qilin transformed from three-dimensional to two-dimensional, imprinted upon the phantom screen.

In the next instant.

Radiance blossomed, and on the screen, the Qilin vanished, revealing a new scene.

In the scene, focus was on one of the peaks of Dragon Gate Peak, with clouds and mist lingering around the mountain. On a massive stone atop the peak, a figure with a long sword sat cross-legged above.

Judging by the appearance, it was quite young.

"It truly is like this."

The screen was evolved from the message; now seeing this, Qin Jin was thoroughly certain.

This scene was precisely a depiction of ancient people crossing the Dragon Gate here!

"So, this is one of the supernatural occurrences of Dragon Gate Peak, also a form of communication."

"If one presents themselves, displaying techniques, they might satisfy the conditions to witness the Dragon Gate scene of predecessors."

"Then..."

"During the true period of the Immortal Dynasty, would these techniques truly be acquired by those who leap the Dragon Gate?"

Thoughts flowed through his mind.

In the scene, the young man with a sword clad in cyan garments meditated with closed eyes, after a period of time, suddenly opened his eyes.

The gaze sharp, like a sword’s edge; he stood straight, subsequently, on Dragon Gate Peak, his momentum unreservedly displayed.

The storm roared.

He stepped upon the arch bridge between two peaks of Dragon Gate Peak, and on the sky-reaching pillars at both ends of Dragon Gate Peak, brilliant radiance spiraled upward, in the sky, a true Dragon Gate formed!

Those who left messages on the stele were all successful ones.

Under Qin Jin’s watchful gaze, he transformed into a Divine Sword, leaping through the Dragon Gate in a single sword stroke!

At this point, the scene abruptly ended.

The screen dissipated, returning to the stele, becoming the text engraved upon it.

Qin Jin exhaled a long breath.

"Humans during the Immortal Dynasty period possessed truly admirable qualities."

"Dragon Gate Peak harbors a Dragon Gate."

Qin Jin turned his form, gazing towards the arch bridge behind, and intense interest was born within his eyes.
