Li Rui instinctively took a step back, only to lean against the wall. The door that had been there before had vanished.
"No, this is an illusion."
Li Rui told himself. At that moment, Mo Ruxi smiled and gracefully walked up to Li Rui.
Dressed in a flowing white gown, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and her charming smile was captivating—a truly stunning beauty.
This was the woman Li Rui had missed day and night.
Li Rui knew very well that this was an illusion, yet he still felt moved.
Mo Ruxi stepped closer to Li Rui, her slender fingers gently brushing aside the bangs from his forehead.
"Rui, I really miss you."
Her gentle voice was exactly like Mo Ruxi's.
An illusion, Li Rui reminded himself that this was an illusion, but he couldn't help but embrace the person in his arms.
Suddenly, Mo Ruxi pulled a knife from her pure white sleeve and thrust it directly at Li Rui's chest.
Li Rui seemed to have anticipated this; he instantly teleported behind Mo Ruxi, grabbing her wrist and pulling it back.
"Clang!"
The dagger fell to the ground as Mo Ruxi turned around and looked at Li Rui. "Rui, don't kill me!"
Li Rui's gaze was dazed as he stared at Mo Ruxi, a beautiful smile curving on his lips.
"Ha!"
Mo Ruxi widened her beautiful eyes, her pretty face filled with disbelief.
She looked at the bleeding Dantian lying on the ground.
Li Rui sniffed, and everything in the surroundings shattered again.
He continued walking toward the next door.
Time passed second by second, and after experiencing all sorts of chaotic tests, Li Rui finally passed the twelve trials.
The moment Li Rui stepped out, Old Monster raised an eyebrow. This guy, the Dragon Gate Candidate, was quite impressive.
Although he was indeed lagging behind this time, he knew that at his age, he had never been as fast as Li Rui.
"I just forgot to tell you that the real danger lies in what comes after the twelve trials."
Old Monster said this to Li Rui, who nearly spat out blood.
Wasn't the twelve trials dangerous? He almost thought he was over a hundred years old...
"Let's go, stop dawdling. There is a shocking treasure inside here; it's just a pity we couldn't find it back then and almost all perished here."
Old Monster's mind recalled scenes from back then, as his fellow disciples died one by one. The bloody images still made him feel a lingering fear.
"Let's go!"
After hearing Old Monster's words, Li Rui swallowed hard. It must be incredibly dangerous.
Old Monster and the others had come with thousands of people, but most of them died inside. In the end, only he remained.
Li Rui clenched his fist tightly; no matter how dangerous it was inside, that astonishing treasure, which could very well be something from Pure Yang to Pure Yin, might still be there!
There was no way he would give up, whether facing a mountain of knives or a sea of fire.
“Boom!”
The stone door opened, revealing an underground passage.
Old Monster's aged face furrowed in concern; the passage had changed again.
“Senior, what’s wrong?”
Li Rui sensed that Old Monster was feeling off and asked softly.
“I’m fine. Let’s go. This Heart Point passage is different from when we first entered, so I don’t know what we will encounter.”
Old Monster said, and the two of them proceeded into the passage one after the other.
It was pitch black, and occasionally a few Vampire Bats flew out of the passage, giving an eerie feeling. It felt lifeless.
Tick-tock, tick-tock; it seemed like water droplets were continuously falling from the walls on both sides.
Neither of them spoke, cautiously paying attention to everything in their Surroundings. Sometimes a few bats startled by them would also give them a fright.
Suddenly, Li Rui's hand touched a liquid.
In the dark passage, there was only a faint glimmer of light.
Through the dim light, Li Rui saw his own hand.
"Blood!"
Li Rui blurted out as he realized the liquid he had touched was blood, fresh blood.
Old Monster glanced around, and they both noticed that the walls on either side were covered in blood.
What they had previously thought was water turned out to be blood.
"Where did this blood come from?"
Old Monster exchanged a look with Li Rui; they didn't need words to understand the meaning in each other's eyes.
If this is blood, then something must be above this passage.
For example—Corpses, piled high with Corpses!
The two of them cautiously moved forward.
"Woo woo—"
The dark passage echoed with the sound of wind, which was quite unsettling.
Li Rui frowned; this passage led deep underground, very deep underground.
Old Monster walked alongside Li Rui.
As they went further, the light grew brighter, and the blood became more gruesome.
The entire air was filled with the stench of blood, making Li Rui feel somewhat nauseous.
The two of them walked for a very long time, yet they saw nothing else, just an endless corridor.
"Senior, have you noticed? It seems like we've circled back again?"
Li Rui realized that they seemed to have returned to a previous location.
"I noticed. Wait, make a mark so we can retrace our steps."
Old Monster looked at the endless corridor; he indeed had never been here before.
With a rip, Li Rui tore a piece of fabric from his clothing and left it on the ground as a marker.
The two continued walking, but after a while, they found themselves back where they started.
Looking at the fabric on the ground, Li Rui's mouth twitched; they couldn't afford to linger here.
They had to find a way out.
Old Monster attacked the wall fiercely, but it remained completely unyielding, still dripping blood steadily without any effect.
"Let's go, Senior. We must have entered an Underground Maze."
Li Rui observed that the path they had just taken was somewhat similar to the previous one, with some parts being unfamiliar. Therefore, he believed this was a Maze.
Upon hearing Li Rui's words, Old Monster waved his hand and then pulled out a counting chip from his pocket.
He began to manipulate it on the ground while Li Rui watched him work as time ticked away.
Finally, Old Monster looked at the counting chips on the ground and revealed a smile.
"I found the way out; let's go!"
Li Rui sincerely admired Old Monster and followed him. When they reached a certain place, Old Monster instructed Li Rui to input Source Qi against the wall.
Sure enough, after entering Source Qi, the area instantly lit up, and the two of them fell directly into an ancient Palace.
All around were Skeleton heads, indicating that many people had died here, which made Li Rui feel on guard.
Old Monster looked at the surrounding Skeleton heads, his emotions fluctuating slightly. "These are my fellow disciples who died back then."
Li Rui frowned. "Then how did they die, Senior?"
"Mutual slaughter."
"Huh?"
Li Rui was quite surprised; it was completely different from what he had imagined.
"In fact, a person's greatest enemy is not anything external but the greed and desires deep within their own heart."
