Time passed second by second during the tense key-switching process. From the first key that was opened to now, dozens had been replaced, yet none were useful! Not a single one could unlock the Sacred Geometry Gate.
Xianxian had gradually transformed from her initially confident self into a frustrated expression, mechanically repeating her actions while sighing, "No way, how many keys have we tried? Every one fits in, but why can't any of them turn?"
Seeing Xianxian on the verge of madness, I couldn't help but suggest, "Why don't you take a break over there and let me give it a try?"
"No way!" Xianxian firmly rejected my offer, stubbornly huffing, "This Lord doesn't believe it. Damn it, not a single one of these fifty-plus keys is real!"
The reality was disappointing; all the keys could fit, yet none could open this door.
At this point, we understood that the keys might just be a ruse. Of course, it was also possible that we hadn't found the real key yet. "What should we do now?" I slumped down onto the ground, feeling disheartened. We had worked so hard to find this place, only to be stuck at the door.
"Can't you get in either?" Xianxian asked Jiang Feng and the others.
Jiang Feng shook his head; all members of the Spirit Department looked equally dejected. It made sense—if this door could be easily opened, it wouldn't be hiding such a tremendous secret.
Throughout the process, every path and every Daoist Sect had been meticulously calculated. Even my father and his peers, who possessed such high cultivation levels, returned defeated without even knowing the existence or location of this tree. This indicated just how profound the secrets hidden within were.
"Fengfeng! You..." Xianxian suddenly called my name, startling me out of my thoughts. I quickly turned to her and asked, "What is it?"
"Your hand!" Xianxian stared at my hand in disbelief.
I instinctively looked down at my wrist and saw a green glow emanating from inside my clothing. I rolled up my sleeve and indeed! It was the light coming from the Green Cat's Eye Stone!
Except for Lime's expression, which seemed relatively normal, all of us were left with our mouths agape in disbelief. What was happening right now? I looked at Lime in confusion.
Seeing that I didn't understand what was going on, the others also turned to Lime. There was no other choice; after all, this person's experience and abilities far surpassed those of everyone else present.
Lime narrowed his eyes and took a deep look at the Cat's Eye Stone Bracelet on my wrist, then glanced at the door behind him. After a moment, when the silence became almost suffocating, Lime spoke, "Come here."
So, I hurried over. Xianxian followed me eagerly.
"Press it against there and give it a try," Lime instructed, pointing to two inconspicuous semicircular Trench areas.
Looking into his dark eyes that resembled obsidian, I nodded. Since the bracelet couldn't be removed, I placed my arm horizontally against the door, aligning the two circular Cat's Eye Stones with the holes.
At the moment of contact, nothing unusual happened. Just when I thought it was useless, a miracle occurred! The Cat's Eye Stone, radiating a soft Green Light, suddenly flashed brightly. Immediately afterward, the Sacred Geometry Gate lit up as well, emitting dazzling light that was beautiful like a starry universe, so bright that I could hardly open my eyes.
I closed my eyes and quietly felt its warmth. The light shining on me was very warm, like sunlight, almost making me feel like I could sink into it. How wonderful it would be if this could last forever...
As soon as this thought crossed my mind, I knew it was not good. I quickly opened my eyes; this light had a consuming effect on one's heart. Those with weak convictions could easily be "sucked" in. Fortunately, neither Lime nor Xianxian were ordinary people. After all the hardships we had faced to get here, even the most timid person’s Willpower would become strong enough.
However, Jiang Feng and the others seemed to be in poor condition! Not wanting to think too much about it, I waved my hand and they disappeared into The Dead. Although I didn't know what side effects this beautiful and dazzling light would have on them, it was better to avoid it.
"Creek—"
A distant and profound aura rushed toward me. It felt as if I had arrived at the beginning of the universe. This aura, mixed with the might of heaven and earth, made me feel an undeniable authority. The ancient presence made my heart feel as if it had aged many years in an instant; that feeling of desolation lingered for a long time.
I stared in shock at the slightly ajar Holy Gate in front of me, feeling a mix of emotions inside—neither advancing nor standing still.
Xianxian swallowed hard and murmured, "Wow, this is the first time I've seen something like this. It's just so damn spectacular!"
Lime furrowed his brows, deep in thought, seemingly pondering something.
Meanwhile, I remained in a state of indescribable shock. The door just opened like that? No need for those Black Keys at all? Why? Were those so-called scattered keys merely a ruse? Did they actually serve no purpose whatsoever?
Why? What was the reason behind their actions? Was this lie created by the God Alliance, or was it the work of the Demon Clan? Initially, we thought it was the Demon Clan, but back then, Divine Hand seemed to take it very seriously. Was he just pretending?
Countless questions faded away with a sudden "ouch," as I snapped back to reality. Turning to my side, I saw Xianxian holding his head, looking incredulous and conflicted, angrily cursing, "What the hell is going on? Why can't we get in?!" He then pushed against the already opened area, which was pitch black with nothing blocking the way, yet Xianxian's hand felt as if it were pressing against a transparent glass, completely unable to penetrate.
Seeing this, Lime also reached out to touch it, but met the same result—unable to pass through. This meant they couldn't enter!
I swallowed hard and hesitantly reached out, only to find nothing there; it felt like air. Seeing this, Xianxian yelled again, "Why can you get through?"
"It must be because of the Cat's Eye Stone Bracelet," Lime said optimistically, showing no signs of discouragement.
"Go inside," Lime instructed me. I looked at them with some hesitation and asked, "Just me alone?" To be honest, the thought of entering that pitch-black space where I had no idea what awaited was quite frightening.
In the end, under Xianxian's reluctant mutterings and Lime's heavy gaze, I pushed open the door and stepped inside. Just as I had seen from outside, it was desolate within! It was pitch black and nothing could be seen!
