It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

They were arranged in a strange pattern in an area spanning several miles around the cliff.

"The material of these statues looks very ordinary, almost exactly the same as the mountains."

"Were they the ones who completed the restoration of the mountain?"

Jiang Li carefully touched the fox statue with her hand. It's no wonder that none of them had been able to discover its existence before.

No matter how you look at it, these statues are exactly the same as the surrounding rocks. Unless they are seen with the naked eye, it would be absolutely impossible for them to be found with their divine sense.

Perhaps the little fox was able to find it so accurately because it was a fox itself?

"ten.

Perfect?

This number looks a bit strange.

Hua Jingyun frowned. It could be more, or it could be less.

But there are only ten statues.

They had searched the entire surrounding area but found no more statues.

In formations or combinations of magical artifacts, three and nine are considered extreme numbers.

Ten represents a rare kind of perfection.

Those who cultivate themselves follow the principle that even if the Way of Heaven has flaws, one should leave a way out.

Even perfection in one's realm is merely the ultimate goal that can be pursued under the current circumstances.

In reality, compared to the perfection described in various cultivation methods, it still falls short by a hair's breadth.

It could be twenty or thirty, or even tens of thousands.

The number ten is the only one that all practitioners take very seriously.

"I don't think I've ever seen the placement of this formation before."

Su Chen pondered, considering whether he should smash the statue again to see the restoration process and the process of suppressing the demonic energy once more.

Just as Su Chen raised his hand, the statue in front of him suddenly trembled and then shattered into pieces.

Before Su Chen could react, a new statue appeared several feet away.

The positions of the other nine statues also changed accordingly.

The entire process was completely devoid of any energy fluctuations; it was as if spiritual energy, demonic energy, or anything else had never existed.

These statues seem to grow out of the cliff, collapsing here and being reborn here.

"It has nothing to do with the location of these statues..."

They should be something similar to the Heaven-Suppressing Stone.

Ten statues are pressing down on one spot; perhaps something extraordinary is hidden within this mountain.

However, Su Chen was in no hurry to start digging into the mountain. After all, he had just done something like this once before, and there was no guarantee that he would get the same result if he did it again.

Do you know what's hidden in here?

"Now that we've found these statues, why don't we open this thing and take a look?"

Su Chen picked up the little white fox. These fox statues must be very important to the Nanlang royal family.

Their existence spanning over five thousand years is enough to prove many things.

The Nanlang royal family may be a vassal of the demon race.

The little guy bit Su Chen's wrist, but Su Chen didn't feel anything, almost breaking the little fox's teeth.

Su Chen looked at the little guy with a pained expression, completely bewildered.

He didn't realize what was happening until the little white fox drew a simple pattern on the ground with its paw.

"You mean you want me to cut my wrists and draw blood?"

"Would it work if I just dripped it on these fox statues?"

After Su Chen finished speaking, the little fox immediately nodded.

"Jin Bufan, try getting some blood."

Su Chen didn't intend to use his own blood directly, but instead asked Jin Bufan to scout ahead.

Generally speaking, one way to make a magical artifact recognize its owner is through essence and blood.

Ordinary blood will have a similar effect, albeit slightly less. If one's own blood were to drip onto the person and something unexpected happened, others might not be able to save them.

The little white fox looked at Su Chen speechlessly after hearing this.

However, it did not stop Jin Bufan's actions, but simply stayed in place, waiting for Jin Bufan to cut his wrist to draw blood, which would then drip onto the statue.

"no response?"

"I didn't feel anything. Could it be that only your blood can do it?"

Jin Bufan shook his head, then looked intently at Su Chen in front of him.

"Only my blood will do?"

"I'll try again. Maybe Jin Bufan's skill level isn't high enough."

As Jiang Li spoke, she made a cut on her finger.

Her blood also dripped onto the statue.

The statue remained unresponsive, as if Jiang Li had only dripped a drop of rain onto it.

Are you sure it's only me?

Su Chen held the little white fox, staring directly at it.

The little white fox gave him a disdainful look, as if to tell Su Chen, "If you're not willing to bleed, you can leave now."

"Fine.

"Then I'll do it."

Su Chen sighed helplessly. What exactly was hidden behind this statue? Perhaps only a drop of his blood would reveal the answer.

Looking at the little guy in his arms, Su Chen inexplicably thought of the white fox in the game.

As Su Chen's blood dripped onto the statue, he clearly felt an attraction.

Su Chen subconsciously exerted his strength to resist, but to his surprise, the statue in front of him instantly shattered, and a small door appeared at the end of the spiritual energy.

That was the Tianzheng Gate he had been searching for.

The moment the main gate appeared that day, the other nine statues exploded simultaneously, and the original cliff suddenly disappeared, replaced by a bottomless black hole.

"what is this?"

Hua Jingyun tried to probe inside with her divine sense. However, to her surprise, her divine sense was immediately swallowed up the moment it made contact.

"The spirit isn't inside..."

Su Chen immediately confirmed the situation at Tianzheng Gate. The magic weapon was still the same, the only difference was that Lu Wuyai was gone.

"Now that Tianzheng Gate has been recovered, shall we leave?"

Jiang Li looked at the cave entrance in front of her, feeling somewhat uneasy.

No one can say for sure what's hidden inside this cave.

Whether it's spiritual energy, divine consciousness, or talismans and magical artifacts, once they enter this cave and don't go more than ten feet, they will completely lose contact.

"We can't leave."

The spirit of the Tianzheng Gate has disappeared; we must find it.

Tianzheng Gate was merely a shell that Su Chen prepared for Lu Wuyai.

What he really needs is Lu Wuyai.

The secret realm from back then hasn't been fully opened yet. If Lu Wuyai were to disappear now, it would be almost impossible to push back the limits of heaven and earth.

What Su Chen left in the game was only the approximate area; only Lu Wuyai and Hua Jingyun knew the specific coordinates.

Previously, Su Chen found it troublesome and did not ask Lu Wuyai for specific location information.

If Lu Wuyai isn't found now, his plans will likely have to be put on hold.

"A spirit?"

Has the spirit of Tianzheng Gate disappeared?

"But if the spirit of a magical artifact disappears, doesn't that mean it's directly dissolved?"

Hua Jingyun was stunned for a moment. Normally, a spirit of a magical artifact cannot survive on its own without the artifact.

The ability of a spirit to exist independently of a magical artifact for an extended period is itself a very rare thing.

He is different.

You all stay here; I'll go in and take a look by myself.

Su Chen put the little white fox down from his arms and turned to speak to the three of them.

“I’ll go with you. This place doesn’t look like a good place,” Jiang Li said in a deep voice.

"This hole opened because of my blood, so it might be related to me."

You all stay here and wait for me to come out.

Su Chen rejected Jiang Li's suggestion, but even now, that faint sense of connection still lingered.

Su Chen had a strange intuition that he was unlikely to be harmed here.

Su Chen turned his head and walked directly into the black hole.

After entering a distance of only a few feet, the light behind them completely disappeared, and Jiang Li and the others could no longer be seen.

Su Chen felt no panic, but rather an indescribable sense of calm.

Su Chen had been trying to use his divine sense or other means to probe the situation inside the cave.

However, no matter what method he tried, the feedback he received was almost non-existent.
