Chapter 119 Experiment Subject No. 1, The Truth of the Pure Gate
The base of the White Pagoda.
Inside the sealed well.
The pale blue light and the dark gold energy kept colliding.
Lin Yuan gripped the fragment of the King-level gate bone with one hand.
The dark blue patterns on the surface of his palm seemed to writhe like living things, trying to burrow into his flesh and blood along his palm.
However, every time the azure pollution surged in, it was forcibly held back by the Extreme Star Furnace.
peel off.
Crush.
compression.
Then swallow it into your blood and qi.
System prompts kept appearing.
[Detected residual energy at the King-level gate bone]
[Remnants of the sect leader's will detected]
[Contamination being removed]
[Physical compression of Qi and blood is underway]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 652000]
Lin Yuan stood still.
The old school uniform fluttered in the wind.
The steps of the sealed well beneath our feet are sinking inch by inch.
He could sense that the energy within this fragment of the door bone was far greater than the overflowing source tide from the Star Source Pool.
It's not about the quantity.
Rather, it's a higher level.
Each wisp of energy seems to contain a miniature door.
If an ordinary martial artist were to inhale even a trace of it, their soul would likely be torn apart by the whispers behind the door.
But Lin Yuan is different.
He doesn't need to understand the rules behind the door.
There is no need to comprehend the so-called mysteries of the gate bones.
He only does one thing.
Press it in.
The fragments of the door bone vibrated violently.
Around the sealed well, the white ring-shaped runes crumbled one by one.
The afterimage of Experiment Subject No. 1 stood beside the well wall, staring blankly at Lin Yuan.
She has been trapped here for twenty years.
I've seen generations of researchers at the White Pagoda carefully observe the septum.
I've seen those high and mighty elders, both fearful and greedy, when faced with this fragment.
I've also seen people whose dreams collapsed and whose souls were distorted simply from being brushed by the aura of the door's bones.
But she had never met anyone like that before.
There are no instruments.
There is no formation.
There is no observation ring.
With just one hand, he grabbed the fragment of a King-level sect bone and forcibly swallowed and refined it.
It was as if this wasn't taboo.
It's just a piece of meat that's a little tough to chew.
"you……"
Subject Number One's voice trembled.
"Are you sure you won't get contaminated by it?"
Lin Yuan did not turn around.
"It's not enough."
not enough?
Subject No. 1 was temporarily rendered speechless.
She didn't know what to say.
That piece of bone ruined her life.
She was trapped for twenty years.
This prevented the White Pagoda from being made public.
The Resources Institute was made to cover things up.
This has made it a taboo for generations of people in Longyuan City.
But this boy only uttered three words.
not enough.
Deep within the sealed well.
The sect leader's will seemed to be angered by those words.
The pale blue light suddenly surged.
Countless whispers echoed simultaneously from behind the doors at the bottom of the well.
"Returning to the gate..."
"Returning to the gate..."
"Returning to the gate..."
The sounds overlapped, like countless doors opening and closing simultaneously.
Lin Yuan felt a buzzing in his ears.
Before my eyes appeared an illusion of countless overlapping doors.
Behind a door lies a wasteland piled with bones.
Behind a door lies an upside-down, blood-red city.
Behind a door, countless figures knelt in the black water, bowing their heads and chanting the same name.
These illusions tried to penetrate his consciousness.
But the next moment.
Lin Yuan's internal energy suddenly sank.
The Ultimate Star Furnace began to spin with a roar.
All illusions were instantly crushed.
Lin Yuan's eyes were cold.
"Quarrel."
boom!
Dark gold energy flowed down his palm and into his bones.
Inside the sealed well, the whispers behind the doors abruptly ceased.
As Subject Number One watched this scene, a sense of absurdity suddenly arose in his heart.
That voice that had terrified her for twenty years.
People actually complained that it was too noisy.
……
Starry Courtyard.
Lin Xiaoya fell into a dream once again.
This time, she did not appear in the white corridor.
There were no figures in white robes to be seen.
She stood in a space that was half-lit and half-dark.
The ground beneath my feet is covered with shattered white tiles.
In the distance was a huge door.
Behind the door, a ghostly blue light flickered on and off.
Subject One stood in front of her.
This time, her figure was much clearer than before.
Lin Xiaoya asked in a low voice:
"Sister, are you in a lot of pain?"
Subject One looked down at her.
She froze for a moment.
Perhaps for the past twenty years, everyone at the White Tower has only asked her if she can stabilize the door, if she can fit the door frame, and if she can complete the experiment.
No one ever asked her if she was in pain.
Subject One remained silent for a moment, then gently shook his head.
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
"You get used to the pain after a while."
Lin Xiaoya's eyes immediately reddened.
Why would they do this to you?
Subject One looked at the door in the distance, his voice very soft:
"Because they are afraid."
"Afraid the door will open."
"I'm afraid something behind the door will come over."
"I'm also afraid I don't have the power to control the door."
"So they wanted to find someone who could hear the door, get close to the door, and stabilize the door."
"That person is the Pure Gate Master."
Lin Xiaoya said in a daze:
"What exactly is a Pure Gate Attendant?"
Subject One looked at her.
"It's not a disaster."
"It's not a key either."
"It's not the source of danger they're talking about."
She raised her hand and pointed to the door in the distance.
"The true ability of a purifier is to close the door."
Lin Xiaoya's heart skipped a beat.
"close the door?"
"Um."
Experiment Subject One:
"We can hear the door, not because we belong to the door."
"It's because we can tell where the crack in the door is."
"We are visible to the door, not because we are leading the way to the door."
"It's because we can lock the door to the eye that looks at reality."
"If used correctly, a door cleaner can stabilize door gaps, block contamination, and even close the door again as soon as it is opened."
Lin Xiaoya was stunned.
She always thought that the door was targeting her because she would bring danger.
That's what the White Pagoda said.
That's what the Resources Institute said.
The way those people looked at her was as if they were looking at something that could get out of control at any moment.
But now, Subject One tells her...
She is not the road.
She is the lock.
Subject One lowered his voice.
"But the White Pagoda used us in the wrong way."
"They brought my dreams closer to the door."
"Let me put on the observation ring."
"The observation ring will fix my dreams, turning them into an unbroken line."
"They thought that as long as I was there, they could keep observing the door frame and analyzing the power behind it."
"But what they don't know is that once a dream is fixed, the things behind the door can also see us along that line."
Lin Xiaoya trembled slightly as she thought of the observation ring in her dream.
"So they want to put a ring on me..."
"Not to check on me?"
Subject number one shook its head.
"no."
"The observation ring is not a detector."
"It's an anchor."
"It will nail your dreams to the ground."
"When you wear it, you will become a path between the White Tower and the gate."
"You can borrow the White Pagoda to guard the gate."
"You can also use the door to see reality."
Lin Xiaoya's face turned pale.
She finally understood why, in every dream, Subject One desperately tried to stop her from wearing the observation ring.
Subject One raised his hand and gently touched Lin Xiaoya's forehead.
But her hands were transparent.
I can't reach it.
You see it more clearly than I do.
"Your dreams are more easily captured by doors."
"If they really put the observation ring on you, the sect leader will follow your dream and lock onto the Dragon Abyss Main Star Sect."
Lin Xiaoya asked in a low voice:
"Is the sect leader... that scary?"
Subject number one remained silent.
A faint blue light suddenly flashed behind the door in the distance.
Her body trembled slightly.
"It doesn't exist behind an ordinary door."
"Those low-ranking disciples are nothing but worms crawling outside the door."
"The sect leader is something that can silence countless sects at the same time."
"Back then, it only asked me one question."
Lin Xiaoya asked subconsciously:
"What?"
Subject One's voice trembled:
"Could you take me there?"
In the dream, a chill spread silently.
Lin Xiaoya felt as if her heart was being squeezed.
"Did you agree?"
Subject number one shook its head.
I refused.
"So I was dragged inside the door."
She looked at Lin Xiaoya, her eyes suddenly becoming very serious.
"So you can't agree to that either."
"No matter what they say."
"No matter how much the White Tower pressures you."
"No matter what voices are calling you from inside the door."
"Don't agree to any of them."
Lin Xiaoya nodded vigorously.
"Um."
Subject One seemed to want to say something more.
But just then, a deep rumble suddenly came from the giant gate in the distance.
The entire dream space shook violently.
A faint blue light diffused from the crack in the door.
Subject Number One's expression changed instantly.
"It has found you."
Lin Xiaoya turned around.
Deep within the crack of the door, a huge, blurry eye, its outline indistinct, was slowly opening.
That eye is too big.
It was so large that the entire door seemed to be just a slit in its eyelid.
Lin Xiaoya froze.
The next moment.
The red lotus fire pattern on her forehead suddenly lit up.
A dark golden blood-red pattern descended from above the dream, like a hand, directly grabbing her consciousness and pulling her out of the dream.
Subject One stood still.
Watching Lin Xiaoya being taken away by the red lotus flames.
A hint of envy appeared in her eyes.
"very nice."
This time, someone can pull you back.
……
Inside the sealed well.
Lin Yuan's palm was still clutching the broken piece of the door frame.
He also heard the conversation in his dream.
It wasn't because he overheard Lin Xiaoya's dream.
Rather, the afterimage of Experiment Subject No. 1 was already connected to the portal bone.
Every word she utters echoes within this sealed well.
Those who seek purity are not on the right path.
It's a lock.
The observation ring is not a detector.
It is an anchor.
The White Pagoda was not built to protect Experiment Subject No. 1.
Instead, she wanted to use her dream to control the fragments of the King-level Gate Bone.
Lin Yuan's eyes turned cold.
If Qin Yue were still alive.
He will die a much worse death.
Deep within the sealed well, the vibrations of the remaining door bone fragments grew increasingly intense.
The oppressive force of the sect leader's will is becoming increasingly clear.
The deep voice sounded again:
"Those who are pure in their ways."
"Lock."
"pity."
"Locks can also be melted down into keys."
Lin Yuan looked up.
"You talk too much."
The sect leader's will seemed to pause for a moment.
Lin Yuan's five fingers tightened suddenly.
The Ultimate Star Furnace roared.
More of the remains of the King's Gate could be forcibly dragged into the body.
The system is displaying a notification.
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 655000]
[Increased interference with the sect leader's will detected]
[Increased pollution intensity]
[Contamination being removed]
[Physical compression of Qi and blood is underway]
The blue pollution began to become even more violent.
It no longer simply burrowed into Lin Yuan's palm.
Instead, it attempts to erode the soul, dreams, hearing, and sight from multiple angles.
Countless double images appeared inside the sealed well.
Qin Yue's body.
The observation ring of the White Pagoda.
The image shows Experiment Subject 1 being locked on a white platform.
Lin Xiaoya was given the illusion of being placed under an observation ring.
These images pressed down on Lin Yuan, trying to disturb his mind.
Lin Yuan's eyes remained calm.
"Fake."
boom!
The blood and qi in the body surged.
All illusions shattered.
The sect leader said in a low voice:
"You have no dreams."
Lin Yuandao:
"Dream?"
He raised his hand and channeled more dark gold energy into his bones.
"Only the weak escape through dreams."
"I don't need it."
The sealed well suddenly trembled.
For the first time, that fragment of a king-level bone finally emitted a clear cracking sound.
Click.
A new crack spread from the surface of the door frame.
The afterimage of Experiment Subject No. 1 suddenly looked up.
She saw that the bone that had trapped her for twenty years had actually been cracked open by Lin Yuan's forceful pinching.
Her eyes were vacant.
"He... he really is eating a bone..."
……
The outer layer of the White Pagoda.
The open battle continues.
Qin Xuanxiao's Mountain and River Marquisate was completely suppressed.
The Blood Shadow Extreme Forbidden Domain was compressed to only three meters.
Everyone thought that Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator was about to collapse.
Within the Elder Council's observation array, several elders had already begun discussing how to handle the aftermath of Qin Xuanxiao's suppression of the Blood Face and the White Pagoda.
"If the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator is defeated, he must be sealed away."
"The Institute of Resources must also be held accountable for Qin Yue's death."
"Lin Xiaoya still needs to be retested."
"But the seal at the bottom of the White Pagoda must be investigated first."
As Zhenxing Hou listened to these words, his gaze grew increasingly somber.
He did not look at the blood shadow.
His gaze remained fixed on the bottom of the White Tower.
There, that extremely heavy aura became increasingly clear.
Qin Xuanxiao seemed to have sensed something as well.
While suppressing the Blood Shadow, he frowned and looked down at the White Tower.
What's down there?
Blood Shadow did not answer.
He shattered the barren mountain that was pressing down on him with just one punch.
Qin Xuanxiao's eyes turned slightly cold.
"Are you trying to drag this old man down?"
Beneath the blood-red mask, those eyes remained as cold as ever.
Qin Xuanxiao finally realized something was wrong.
Blood-faced Ancient Cultivator was clearly being suppressed by him.
But he never really put in his best effort.
It doesn't seem like they're trying to win.
It's more like they're stalling for time.
Whose time are we wasting?
The moment this thought crossed Qin Xuanxiao's mind, his heart sank.
He raised his hand, and the weight of the Marquis of Shanhe suddenly increased.
"Then let's end it here."
The dim, yellow sun sank once more.
The Blood Shadow had even more cracks on its body.
At the same time.
The base of the White Pagoda.
Lin Yuan grabbed the broken piece of the door frame and tore the crack open.
The pale blue light surged.
The system notification reappeared.
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 660000]
[The door frame sealing structure is broken]
[The Sect Leader's Will Channel Expands]
[Danger Level Increased]
The afterimage of Experiment Subject No. 1 changed its expression drastically.
"It's coming!"
The deepest part of the sealed well.
That enormous, dark blue eye finally peered into reality through the cracks in the door frame.
The sect leader's first wisp of will.
It is coming soon.
