Five Immortals Gate

Beneath Li Yan and Mei Hongyu's feet was the Fuxi Plate, with the Kui-Yi Dividing Water Stinger transformed into scissors in the middle, and the two of them at the very top.

At this moment, the Fuxi Plate had already reached the black light vortex in order to withstand the attacks of the violent force below, and the Kui-Yi Dividing Water Stinger was also at the very edge of the black light vortex.

Seeing that they were about to fall, a sharp light burst out from Li Yan's eyes, and he suddenly stomped on the scissors formed by the Kui-Yi Dividing Water Stinger.

"Boom!"

A powerful rebounding force instantly arose from the soles of his feet. He turned around and grabbed Mei Hongyu, using the momentum to shoot out like lightning.

The scissors formed by the Kui-Yi Dividing Water Stinger, under Li Yan's stomp, fell even faster into the vortex below.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound rang out, and the scissors suddenly sank, crashing into the rapidly rotating Fuxi Plate.

With the extreme rotational force of the Fuxi Plate, there was a moment that allowed the scissors, upon contact, to escape the tearing force below and be bounced back up.

Just then, Li Yan, who had shot out, had reached the edge of the cave wall. Before his feet touched the ground, he flicked his sleeve backhanded.

The long sleeve seemed to cross thousands of mountains and rivers, instantly wrapping around the scissors that had just bounced up, and was pulled back violently.

Li Yan's body, due to the rapid momentum, also pulled Mei Hongyu forward, causing the sleeve to be pulled back again.

"Shua!"

Amidst the sound of silk tearing, Li Yan's sleeve, under the suction of the black light vortex and the lateral pull, was torn apart even though it was a magical artifact-grade garment infused with the magic power of a Void Refinement cultivator.

However, this section of the sleeve was not completely broken, barely withstanding the instantaneous suction force. Under Li Yan's mental control, the scissors instantly transformed into a sharp arrow and shot out.

"Boom!"

Li Yan's rolling body crashed into the rock wall first, because he wanted to protect Mei Hongyu from also hitting the stone wall.

So, when pulling her just now, he deliberately pulled her behind him, and Mei Hongyu only had time to let out a soft moan.

Li Yan then gently lifted Mei Hongyu with his body's magic power. The next moment, the two stood up, and the scissors inserted into the rock wall instantly returned to being two Kui-Yi Dividing Water Stingers.

While hovering in front of him, they also transformed into a black light shield!

However, apart from some falling gravel from the air, there were no attacks following from the black light vortex in front.

The rock walls of the cave were very hard and did not collapse as a result. Moreover, Li Yan had deliberately controlled himself just now, reducing most of the power from himself and the scissors.

He was afraid that after the cave collapsed, or because of his charge, he would directly destroy the only bit of ground at the edge, causing a change in the central black light vortex.

But the rock walls here were very hard, and the scissors formed by the Kui-Yi Dividing Water Stinger only slightly damaged some of the rock walls when they struck it.

Mei Hongyu looked at the tall figure in front of her. She felt that everything was like a dream, and she only felt herself flying up just now.

Then, with just a flash before her eyes, she fell back from the air, and the surrounding situation had changed.

"Young Master Li, are you... alright!"

Although Mei Hongyu reacted much slower, she knew how dangerous it was just now, and her heart was still pounding wildly.

"It's okay! It seems we can't fly here."

Li Yan didn't care about the small stones still falling around him, but focused his attention on the black light vortex in front.

The Fuxi Plate there had disappeared, completely swallowed by the vortex, and had completely lost contact with Li Yan's mind.

In just a few breaths, Li Yan lost a small piece of Blood River Water and five grains of Silver Sand, which made him feel very pained.

However, in the extremely urgent situation just now, he couldn't control other magical treasures as smoothly.

He had to react in such a short time and make the most correct response. If there had been a slight mistake just now, he and Mei Hongyu would have fallen into the black light vortex together.

Among Li Yan's integrated offensive and defensive magical treasures, only the Kui-Yi Dividing Water Stinger and the Fuxi Plate were the most familiar. Li Yan's reaction was also unbelievably fast, and he made the most correct response in an instant.

Letting the Kui-Yi Dividing Water Stinger carry him and Mei Hongyu away, while letting the Fuxi Plate resist the violent force, was also an instinct for him, to keep his natal magical treasure away from the black light vortex.

Fortunately, Li Yan didn't fully use the Blood River and Silver Sand, otherwise his heart would have been bleeding non-stop.

After Li Yan and the others moved away, and the Fuxi Plate in the air was sucked in, the rotation speed of the black light vortex in front immediately began to slow down, and it had returned to normal in just a few breaths.

Li Yan hadn't expected such a thing to happen. He previously thought that the black light vortex here wouldn't actively attack like the vortexes in the Void River.

The only similarity between the two was their terrifying ability to kill. At the same time, the black light vortex here lacked that tearing force. He didn't expect it was just because the triggering conditions were different…

“Young Master, look over there. It seems like there have been some changes. Could we go up from there?”

Li Yan was staring ahead, afraid that the black light vortex in front would suddenly undergo further changes, but he heard Mei Hongyu's voice again.

However, what she said surprised Li Yan. Mei Hongyu had already walked to his side, her gaze shifting from the front to the side.

At this time, while speaking, Mei Hongyu had also raised a jade hand, pointing to a certain place.

“Oh?”

Li Yan immediately followed Mei Hongyu's direction, turning his head to look, and his gaze immediately sharpened.

Mei Hongyu was pointing to the stone wall on her right. At this time, a winding mountain road spiraling upwards had appeared on the stone wall, as if someone had carved it out of the rock.

The mountain road was very narrow, and it seemed to only allow half a person to pass, or rather, only allow one person to walk sideways.

The direct width of this cave was tens of miles, which meant that the spiraling mountain road could only be longer. It followed the cave wall and quickly entered the darkness in the distance in a circular fashion…

And the starting point of this mountain road was next to the gap with the cyan light, where they had come from before.

Because Li Yan had fallen from the air in a hurry just now, the two of them were no longer at the previous entrance, but they were not too far away.

Li Yan's divine sense probed into the darkness where the distant mountain road extended, and found that this mountain road spiraled around the rock wall circle by circle, and then went diagonally upwards all the way.

Finally, the other end of the mountain road led to the cyan light in the center of the cave roof, and the end point also disappeared into the cyan light at the top…

Li Yan remembered that when he was observing before, this mountain road had not appeared. He certainly wouldn't remember that wrong.

Now, it might be due to the falling rocks on the rock wall in the cave, but it suddenly appeared, and the situation seemed a bit sudden.

After Mei Hongyu finished speaking, she didn't immediately approach out of curiosity, but stood quietly beside Li Yan, also observing carefully.

This place was full of unknown dangers. Mei Hongyu had experienced too many dangers, and her vigilance was no less than Li Yan's. She had always been equally cautious in dealing with things.

Even now that Li Yan was protecting her, a sudden change might occur, and he wouldn't even have time to help.

“…Such an obvious mountain road, ultimately leading to the cyan light on the cave roof, could it be a trap?”

Mei Hongyu's divine sense quickly searched the mountain road, but she didn't find anything wrong, which made her unable to judge for a while.

However, this situation should have been triggered after the two of them touched some kind of restriction, which gave people the feeling of a series of traps.

“There's a 50% chance it's not, and a 50% chance it is. Fairy Mei has been in the cyan light space longer, maybe she can have more basis for judgment!”

Li Yan was also investigating, but he quickly replied.

“Why does Young Master have such a statement?”

Mei Hongyu was a little puzzled. Li Yan directly divided the judgment result into half, which seemed completely like nonsense, but he had actually given a relatively clear measure.

“There are no other creatures in the cyan light space, and it's barren and the spiritual energy is not good, so it can't be considered a secret blessed land.

Therefore, in terms of value, this cyan light secret realm doesn't have anything worth guarding. If someone sets up such a trap with so much effort, what would they do it for?

And I have also seen similar vortexes in a chaotic space. Their attack methods are somewhat similar, but the vortexes there are more violent and can't even be approached.

That is a Void River that seems to have no end, with countless vortexes of all sizes inside, and it's so similar to the strange black light vortex here.

So it shouldn't be a man-made trap, but more like it was born and appeared under the laws of heaven and earth. Otherwise, if you have seen that river, you will understand what I said.

No cultivator can have such means to form so many terrifying vortexes. I estimate that even a True Immortal can't do it. This is also the reason why I judge that this is not a trap.

It's just…the two ends of this mountain road are too strange, just at the two cyan light spots, giving people the feeling that someone deliberately did it.

So, regarding this last point, I can't figure out why it's like this, so I said it's a 50-50 chance!”

Mei Hongyu now understood Li Yan's basis. What he said was right. If this place was not a place of great treasure or a blessed land, what would be the use of setting up such a trap?

Moreover, Li Yan also said that he had seen very similar vortexes, and there were countless vortexes there.

Just looking at this one vortex, you know how terrifying it is. Maybe even if a True Immortal takes action, they can't form so many vortexes in an endless river.

Then there is a high probability that this kind of vortex was generated by the laws of heaven and earth, but the appearance of this mountain road seems too strange, and it really looks like a trap.
