Chapter 1706 Preparing to Enter the Bronze Door
Long Zhentian said, "We sent people into the Bronze Door to pursue the members of the Dragon Gate. Daoist Fahua also entered. Later, we discovered a decayed corpse. Judging by the clothing, it should be Daoist Fahua."
"So that's what happened..."
Chen Xuan sighed, feeling a sense of self-blame.
Since Daoist Fahua was dead, he no longer wished to pursue the matter.
"Mr. Chen, this was all Daoist Fahua's decision. Perhaps it was his fate, and you shouldn't blame yourself," Daoist Qianyuan sighed.
"Daoist Qianyuan, please take this scroll back,"
Chen Xuan said.
"What?"
Chen Xuan shook his head, "This is fake, it's not the 'Picture of Freely Roaming the World.' Even if it were real, I don't want it anymore."
"This? Fu Yu, did you do this?"
Daoist Qianyuan looked at Fu Yu and questioned.
"Hmph, he's a big villain, why should the 'Picture of Freely Roaming the World' be given to him?" Fu Yu snorted coldly.
"You scoundrel!"
Daoist Qianyuan was so angry he wanted to slap Fu Yu, but he held back, as Fu Yu was Daoist Fahua's sole successor.
"Alright, we need to discuss important matters. What should we do next?"
Chen Xuan spoke.
Long Zhentian nodded, "Let's discuss the main business first. Your personal affairs can be handled privately."
The East Sea Divine Nun immediately said, "What else is there to discuss? The Dragon Gate has entered, and we can't let them get there first. Naturally, we must rush into Wuwang Mountain!"
This East Sea Divine Nun had a fiery temper.
However, what she said made sense. Of course, they had to enter the Bronze Door first before entering Wuwang Mountain.
"Except for Daoist Qianyuan, none of you have entered the Bronze Door before. However, you should know that inside the Bronze Door, most of you will not be able to rapidly recover your internal energy or spiritual energy, and will have to rely on rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures."
Long Zhentian said, "Is it not appropriate to rush in like this? If we are ambushed by the Dragon Gate members, once we enter, we might face disaster."
Daoist Qianyuan said solemnly, "Mr. Long is correct. When we entered the Bronze Door back then, because we didn't have enough rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures, we faced perilous situations and great danger. Half of our people were seriously injured before even reaching Wuwang Mountain."
"I've also heard my elders mention it," Daoist Tianyi said.
Although Daoist Tianyi was not young, one of the people who entered the Bronze Door back then was his martial uncle.
The East Sea Divine Nun's expression changed, "Then what do you suggest we do?"
"Gather a large quantity of rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures to prepare for emergencies!" Long Zhentian said.
"Good, let's do that then." The East Sea Divine Nun nodded.
The others also agreed.
Long Zhentian said, "My Dragon Soul Team's treasury, as well as my private treasury, contain many rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures. I am willing to contribute them all, but we are still short of some. I ask everyone to contribute a little of your strength."
"We will definitely rush to gather rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures."
"Give us a day, and we can enter the Bronze Door tomorrow!"
Everyone stood up one after another, preparing to gather rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Chen Xuan said, "Actually, everyone doesn't need to collect too many rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures, because behind the Bronze Door is the intersection of Yin and Yang, a place rarely visited by humans, filled with wandering souls. Many rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures are like wild grass, found everywhere."
"You've been to the area behind the Bronze Door?" Daoist Jingyin asked in surprise.
"Yes!"
Chen Xuan nodded.
"What? You went behind the Bronze Door and managed to come back alive?"
"Is this true?"
Everyone stared at him intently, their gazes like they were looking at a ghost.
They couldn't believe that Ye Bufan was still safe and sound.
"The area behind the Bronze Door is not as terrifying as you imagine," Chen Xuan smiled.
As for whether the area behind the Bronze Door was that terrifying...
"As expected of someone from the Chen family, they are truly fierce."
Everyone exchanged glances.
Because according to their elders, the intersection of Yin and Yang was extremely terrifying.
"It's alright outside, but within Wuwang Mountain, there are no rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures. We still need to prepare some, preferably a lot, for emergencies," Daoist Qianyuan suddenly said.
"Good, then there's no time to lose. Let's go prepare,"
"Then we'll head out too."
The various factions stood up and walked out.
As for Chen Xuan, being from the Chen family, he could still move freely and recover his spiritual energy in the intersection of Yin and Yang, something others couldn't do.
Moreover, Chen Xuan had the World Tree in his dantian.
Therefore, Chen Xuan did not move.
Those who had not yet departed were Daoist Qianyuan and the black-stockinged Daoist nun, Daoist Jingyin.
"Wait for me in your room later, I'll give you my gift."
Daoist Jingyin walked over and whispered into Chen Xuan's ear.
The warmth brushed against Chen Xuan's face, making him feel ticklish and have a special sensation.
This woman...
Daoist Jingyin smiled, swung her long legs, and walked outside.
At this moment, Daoist Qianyuan came to Chen Xuan's side and said earnestly, "Mr. Chen, I have something to discuss with you."
"Is it about what's inside the Bronze Door?"
Chen Xuan asked back.
"Indeed!"
"Alright, I also have some things to discuss with you."
Chen Xuan had just learned that Daoist Qianyuan had also entered the Bronze Door, but Daoist Qianyuan seemed to be unharmed.
Seeing this, Long Zhentian pulled Fu Yu and walked away, "Daoist Qianyuan has something important to discuss. I'll take you to see my treasury. There are many good things inside."
After Long Zhentian left, Daoist Qianyuan said, "Do you want to know why I went into the Bronze Door and came back unharmed?"
Saying this, he took off his Daoist robe.
His back also bore many runes, identical to the curse on Su Gan's back.
"You have it too, but why are you fine?"
Chen Xuan said.
Su Gan, due to the curse, had to rely on rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures to supplement his lifespan, and his father had turned into a zombie. Yet, Daoist Qianyuan was completely unharmed.
Daoist Qianyuan said, "My Daoist sect has a Heavenly Scripture, rumored to be a scripture created by the heavens. I was fortunate enough to comprehend a part of it, thus allowing me to resist the curse. Otherwise, I would have probably gone to see the King of Hell."
"So that's how it is."
Chen Xuan said.
Some might ask why others didn't learn it. That was the Heavenly Scripture of the Daoist sect, and it wasn't something ordinary people could comprehend.
Daoist Qianyuan asked, "Mr. Chen, did you discover anything unusual in the intersection of Yin and Yang inside the Bronze Door?"
"No."
Chen Xuan shook his head.
"That's good, then we still have a chance to enter Wuwang Mountain."
Daoist Qianyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because when we entered Wuwang Mountain back then, we touched the Heavenly Dao, and the intersection of Yin and Yang was on the verge of collapse, and a curse appeared on our bodies."
"Heavenly Dao curse? Could it be a curse from the Heavenly Dao?"
"Perhaps..."
"No wonder it's so powerful,"
Chen Xuan exclaimed.
He continued, "Daoist Qianyuan, you're not just asking about this, are you?"
