Chapter 248: Surprising appearance of the World Gate
[Originally, you had planned to face those Saint realm experts of the Immortal Realm directly, to show Shen Wutian a trick or two in exchange for the secrets he knew.]
[But things developed in an unexpected way.]
[You hadn't even taken Shen Wutian out of the ancient relic.]
[Shen Wutian started shouting that he was willing to tell you the secrets of this place; as long as you didn't take him out of the ancient relic!]
[Hearing this, you stopped in your tracks.]
[You looked at Shen Wutian with a face full of suspicion.]
[It was hard to believe.]
[The Shen Wutian who originally wouldn't reveal secrets even in the face of death was now willing to speak so easily.]
[It didn't make sense, right?]
[Could it be that the control of those Saint realm experts from the Immortal Realm is more terrifying than death?][Suddenly, you recalled the scene when you tortured Shen Wutian before.]
[His calm demeanor seemed accustomed, even numb.]
[You suddenly thought, could it be that the control of those Saint realm experts from the Immortal Realm included some kind of torture?]
[Is that why he was indifferent when you punished him before?]
[Because he had experienced something even more brutal?]
[For a moment, you thought of many things.]
[Of course, these are just your speculations; you don't know the real situation.]
[One thing is certain, though, when Shen Wutian was under the control of the Saint realm experts from the Immortal Realm, it was miserable.]
[Miserable enough to make someone unafraid of life and death fear experiencing it again, to feel terror!]
[However, those Saints from the Immortal Realm now let Shen Wutian roam free in the ancient relic, temporarily escaping control.]
[This proves that those Saints don't care about completely controlling him.]
[After all, if they really cared, they could come here themselves and take Shen Wutian away.]
[This ancient place, although it can block probing and control, cannot stop the Saints from entering directly.]
[Thus, it can be seen that what the Saints of the Immortal Realm want is just the normal operation of the Immortal Arrival Sect.]
[As for Shen Wutian?]
[He is dispensable!]
[You think that even if Shen Wutian were to leave the ancient relic now, it might not be a big problem.]
[Such a simple truth, could Shen Wutian really not think of it?]
[No, he can think of it!]
[But he is still afraid, too scared to act.]
[You think Shen Wutian might be trapped in his own inner demons.]
[Suddenly, you feel a bit of sympathy for Shen Wutian.]
[Who would have thought that such a ruthless person would be played by the Saints of the Immortal Realm like this.]
[If it weren't for the forced control by those Saint realm experts from the Immortal Realm, perhaps he wouldn't have practiced Dark Arts.]
[Perhaps he would have been a spirited Chosen!]
[Your sympathy lasted for about two seconds.]
[Then you grabbed Shen Wutian, threatening him to quickly reveal the secrets of this place.]
[Otherwise, you would throw him out of the ancient relic; let him be controlled by the Saints of the Immortal Realm again.]
[Afterwards, under Shen Wutian's guidance, you arrived at a hidden building at the headquarters of the Immortal Arrival Sect.]
[You looked at the building and frowned slightly.]
[You had scanned this building with your Divine Sense before.]
[And hadn't sensed anything particularly unusual.]
[Could it be that Shen Wutian was trying to play tricks before?]
[Unlikely, right?]
[After pondering for a moment, you followed Shen Wutian into the building.]
[Any conspiracy or trick is worthless in the face of absolute power.]
[You now possess this absolute power.]
[Not worried at all, right!]
[After entering the building, Shen Wutian operated something and opened a secret passage.]
[You weren't surprised by this.]
[You had discovered this secret passage before.]
[Moreover, you knew this passage was very long, extending tens of thousands of meters underground.]
[Could there be something else hidden in this passage?]
[Soon, you and Shen Wutian reached the end of the passage.]
[At this moment, you were completely baffled.]
[There's nothing here, where's the secret?]
[Just then, Shen Wutian pointed to a wall not far away and said, "There's a space inside, but I can't open it!"]
["I guess the secret is in there."]
[Hearing this, you were also stunned.]
[So Shen Wutian didn't know the real secret of this place either.]
[He only knew there was a secret here, but couldn't open the wall.]
[But how did he know there was space behind that wall?]
[You should know, even with your Divine Sense, you hadn't discovered any space behind the wall.]
[Soon, you understood the reason.]
[Shen Wutian walked to the wall and punched it.]
[With a "thud," a resonant sound echoed.]
[The sound was wrong.]
[The wall behind was hollow.]
[What kind of principle is this?]
[Using the most primitive method could detect it, but Divine Sense couldn't.]
[And why couldn't even a Quasi-Saint like Shen Wutian break this seemingly ordinary wall?]
[It seems there really is a big secret here!]
[You didn't directly break the wall with force.]
[Instead, you walked up to the wall and carefully observed it.]
[After a long time, you noticed something amiss.]
[This didn't seem to be just a wall.]
[You swung your fist, shaking off all the dirt around the wall.]
[Then, you saw a giant door appear before you.]
[A door, it was actually a giant door!]
[Suddenly, you recalled the World Gate destroyed in the last simulation.]
["No, it can't be!"]
[At this moment, you were a bit startled.]
[The more you thought about it, the more likely it seemed.]
[Although you didn't know why there was a "World Gate" here.]
[But the special power of laws in this place could be explained.]
[Because after you revealed the entire giant door, you could already sense an unusual power of laws seeping in from outside.]
[This seeping power of laws was very weak.]
[If you weren't right in front of the giant door, it would be hard to sense.]
[Suddenly, you also thought, if this is the "World Gate," then why didn't it appear when the Southern Regions were destroyed?]
[Can the Saint realm break this gate?]
[No, that's not right, the destruction of the Southern Regions was never said to be complete annihilation, but fragmentation!]
[This gate buried deep underground might not have been destroyed!]
[You kept pondering.]
[You think there's an eighty percent chance this is the World Gate!]
[However, if that's the case, then things get complicated!]
[Was it during the ancient times that the World Gate wasn't destroyed?]
[But that doesn't make sense either, the location is wrong!]
[The World Gate was outside the world barrier.]
[And this gate is in the ancient place suspected to be the "Azure Flood Dragon Tribe" ruins.]
[Could it be that every timeline has a World Gate?]
[But if that's the case, then why did destroying the World Gate from ten billion years ago disrupt space? Preventing the black-robed man from accurately tracking you?] ř
[Could the information from the Divine Tortoise be wrong?]
[But through previous simulations, it was already known that the black-robed man indeed couldn't lock onto you.]
[Your thoughts were quite chaotic at this moment.]
