"Do you know about the Azure Dragon Tomb?" At this moment, Li Rui couldn't help but ask a question.
This question startled the Old Monster; he had never considered that Li Rui would inquire about this location.
"How do you know about this place?" The latter's pupils constricted as he turned to look at Li Rui, asking in return.
"I'm going there, and I must find what I'm looking for," Li Rui replied with a calm smile.
"By what right?" the Old Monster murmured, his eyes filled with some anger. For some reason, it gave Li Rui a special feeling, as if this Azure Dragon Tomb was a place he shouldn't go, yet he had to!
"Have you heard of the Dragon Gate Candidate?" Li Rui asked with a smile. Perhaps he knew or didn't know what the concept of "Dragon Gate Candidate" was, but some people were quite familiar with it.
"You... you are..." The Old Monster was once again stunned. His previously frozen expression suddenly brightened up, and the words "no wonder" hung on his lips, but he never articulated what the "Dragon Gate Candidate" meant.
Li Rui was also somewhat confused; he didn't really understand the concept of "Dragon Gate Candidate," and every time it came up in conversation, it seemed to have a different meaning. The only consistent thing was that the "Dragon Gate Candidate" was very powerful!
"Now you believe me, right?" Li Rui said with a smile, then asked the question again.
But frustratingly, the Old Monster waved his hand, signaling Li Rui to leave. He wouldn't reveal even a hint of information, which left him feeling quite vexed; he had never thought such a situation would arise.
"Then I'll be on my way!"
Li Rui felt a bit disappointed but still wanted to look back, hoping to find some clues!
But in reality...
"Why did you just mention 'Azure Dragon Tomb'? And it seems like he knows something; why don't you press him for more information?" Ruo Xin murmured.
Li Rui, however, smiled wryly. He had grown accustomed to this; perhaps it was simply destined to be! The latter, however, was skeptical and knew that only strength could carve out a path for oneself.
Suddenly, a strange phenomenon occurred that hadn't been there before. As they walked back to the position of the seven stones, it was odd that the positions of these seven stones had changed. Even more strangely, the central stone had transformed into another stone!
There were now a total of eight stones, arranged in pairs, creating a path. What was even more bizarre was that "he" sat in the middle, eyes tightly closed, showing no signs of change, as if an Old Man were sitting still in place!
"How did you end up here? It's only been half a year!"
The First Sect Master smiled but did not speak. Instead, he grabbed Ruo Xin's hand and abruptly vanished.
"What are you doing?" This scene startled Li Rui greatly. Was there really such a method? He stood there in shock and asked.
"If we go back to where he is, you'll understand."
"'He'? Are you talking about that Old Monster?"
With a sound of "hm," two figures disappeared before Li Rui!
The latter sighed wryly and then returned to his original spot. This time he was stunned; the path they had just taken had vanished, and now he had to start over again...
Li Rui didn't think too much about it; the First Sect Master must have his own purpose. Moreover, as the latter left, the surroundings began to revert to their original state!
When the latter once again stood at that Heart Point, just like before, a path opened up for him! But what was strange was what those red dots in the surroundings were?
"Why are you back again?" This voice sounded once more, and Li Rui was left stunned on the spot, unsure how to respond. Could it be that the First Sect Master sent him here? Moreover, he didn't even know what the latter's name was, leaving him feeling quite frustrated.
"It was him who told you to come, right?"
Li Rui thought for a moment, nodded slightly, but did not speak. Strangely enough, he received a sigh in response!
"Senior, why do you..."
But Old Monster urged Li Rui to sit down. The latter took a deep breath, his calm face slightly furrowing in concern.
"He told you that I had been to the Azure Dragon Tomb, didn't he?"
Li Rui was taken aback. Wasn't it the First Sect Master who had gone there himself? Why was this Old Monster involved? And hadn't he just dismissed it? Now it seemed different...
At this moment, Li Rui felt confused. He had indeed seen many things in his consciousness last time, but now he was being told that those experiences were not from the First Sect Master. He really needed to take a moment to collect himself!
However, from Old Monster's words, he learned that he had also sought out that place in his youth. But could one truly find it? Moreover, the latter had planned all the routes meticulously, and the Azure Dragon Tomb was not even located in this world.
More precisely, there were no Humans within the Azure Dragon Tomb; even if there were Humans, the creatures there were quite hostile towards them!
Don't be fooled by their frail appearances; when they attacked, even a True Essence Realm cultivator would struggle to withstand them.
"Is it really... that terrifying?"
"Do you think so? Do you still want to go?"
"Um? Once a man decides on something, there is no turning back. A few years ago, I was just at the third level of body refinement, and now I have only Transformation left. This journey has been paved step by step by me; turning back? That's not an option."
However, Li Rui couldn't help but think of a question. Given the situation, First Sect Master should be someone he knew, but why wouldn't the latter rescue him? Did they have some deep-seated grudge?
"This is something I brought upon myself; I can't blame anyone else. And now he wants to let a 'child who repeats my mistakes' enter this place? I won't do that." Old Monster said with frustration, his pupils reflecting a hint of helplessness, as if he had gone through something life-threatening.
"Could it be that entering the Azure Dragon Tomb requires your consent?" This time, Li Rui felt even more frustrated and asked again.
The result this time seemed somewhat promising, but it was only "seemed." This Old Monster was stubborn and had no intention of letting Li Rui enter! Resolving his inner conflict seemed to require...
"How about this? Let's both enter together and explore a bit?"
A loud laugh echoed in the air. The Old Monster had never considered that Li Rui would think this way, and he had never thought about entering that place again!
As he laughed, the name "Dragon Gate Candidate" suddenly came to his mind, and his entire expression darkened.
"Perhaps it really could work?" he murmured softly.
