As the mechanisms continued to turn, the door of the small stone gate began to sink inward in circles from the position where the Tai Chi Xuantian Formation Token was embedded. The sight of the door opening was identical to the changes that occurred when the two tokens were combined yesterday. It seemed that the creator of this door had an enigmatic obsession with the seal module. With such intricacy in both the door and the token that opened it, what kind of scene awaited inside? Before the stone door was fully opened, Mo Wen stood at the entrance, imagining the treasures that lay beyond. Who would have thought that such a grand stone door concealed itself in this unremarkable corner?
With a final clang, the stone door was completely open. Looking at it, Mo Wen nearly dropped his jaw in disbelief. He had originally thought that what he saw as the Small Door was the true entrance, but what lay before him was merely a part of that door's imprint. The actual opening stood only half a person tall, barely enough for someone to crouch and squeeze through. Gazing into the dark opening, Mo Wen took out his Lighting Pearl, holding it in one hand while gripping a dagger in the other as he crouched and ventured into the cave. After his experience in the lava caves beneath Cloud Mist Forest, entering dark unknown caves had become a standard procedure for him.
Inside the cave, Mo Wen couldn't help but shiver; this cold felt eerily familiar, reminiscent of his time in the misty mountains. He paused, feeling a cold sweat on his back. Taking a deep breath to steady himself, he pressed on. The Lighting Pearl shone brightly within the narrow stone cave, illuminating several yards ahead. At that moment, there was nothing else in sight except for the surrounding stone walls; it was as if those vanished stone modules had never existed.
After advancing for a quarter of an hour without seeing an end to the passageway, Mo Wen heard a "crackling" sound behind him. He stopped to listen carefully and quickened his pace; he realized that sound was from the stone door closing behind him. This time he sensed it clearly: stones were emerging from the walls around him, assembling to seal off the passageway at a rapid pace. Reality urged him forward as he began to run; with half an hour gone by, light appeared at the entrance of the cave again, prompting him to sprint toward it.
Standing in the corridor, he noticed that the stone path behind him had not yet fully closed off. This was a Mountain Body cavern, its ceiling adorned with countless Lighting Pearls that illuminated the interior brilliantly. However, the opulence he had imagined did not materialize. The corridor was situated halfway up within this cavern; besides the embedded Lighting Pearls, there were also numerous stalactites hanging down from above. Under their refracted colors in the light of the Lighting Pearls, they added a touch of grandeur to this cave.
The walls of the cavern were lined with stalactite formations as well. The corridor where Mo Wen stood spiraled downward through these stone formations until it reached a low hill covered with stalagmites at its base. Atop this hill stood a simple Siheyuan nestled among these stone pillars. A winding path extended from its entrance toward one of the cave walls; it surely connected to that grand stone door outside which bore the plaque inscribed with "Gate of the Xuantian." In Mo Wen's mind, he could not reconcile the scene inside with that majestic stone door he had seen outside.
