366: Dragon Gate Experience

Upon arriving in the East Sea, the members of the Special Affairs Handling Bureau were astonished by the scene before them.

The sea was turbulent, with waves crashing and splashing, and amidst the waves, thousands of carp were leaping out of the water, attempting to jump over the Dragon Gate.

These carp were agile, their scales shimmering with golden light, and their eyes revealed determination and persistence.

Each leap was like a challenge to their limits, as they exerted all their strength, rushing towards the Dragon Gate.

Lan Kun, Qin Zhe, Jin Meiting, Hu Bingbing, Xin Mulan, and others were all drawn to this magnificent sight, stopping to watch.

Their hearts were filled with awe and admiration, impressed by the courage and perseverance of these carp.

Among them, Jin Meiting couldn't help but exclaim, “This is the most magical sight I have ever seen in my life. These carp are willing to put in every effort to achieve their dreams.”

Qin Zhe echoed, “Yes, this scene is truly shocking.”

Xin Mulan, with a bright smile, pointed at the Dragon Gate before them and crisply said, “Don't you think this place is a fishing paradise?”

Upon hearing this, Hu Bingbing's eyes lit up, and she quickly pulled out her treasure from her embrace.

Opening her beloved bag, it revealed a crystalline fishing rod and some dried Yao Beast meat as bait.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she muttered to herself, “No doubt, no doubt, it's simply a fishing paradise!”

With that, she grabbed her fishing rod and her beloved bag, impatiently pulling away from the crowd and walking towards the highest point of the Dragon Gate.

Lan Kun, standing beside them, watched their actions and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He suppressed the urge to strike Xin Mulan and Hu Bingbing, and said, “Everyone, let's put these matters aside for now. Have you forgotten why we came here?!”

Xin Mulan blinked, her eyes wide and adorably clueless, and asked doubtfully, “Huh ~ Isn't it just to catch fish and seafood to eat?”

At this moment, Linglong was also captivated by the scene before it.

It was overjoyed to see the various fish and shrimp in front of it.

It wagged its tail, thinking to itself, “There are so many new companions here, I wonder if they will like me.”

Jin Meiting rubbed her forehead and said faintly, “Let's go, we should go see the East Sea Dragon King first!”

Upon hearing this, the others also temporarily put aside their lively thoughts; serious matters were more important.

Xin Mulan crossed her arms when she heard about seeing the East Sea Dragon King.

“Hmph, he even had people beat us up last time. I'm going to give him a super incredibly awful nickname, like Big Earthworm.”

Hu Bingbing glanced at Linglong unintentionally, but said nothing.

The group met Ao Guang and explained the purpose of their visit.

Ao Guang casually swept his gaze over them, but then fixed his eyes on Linglong, who was standing beside them and making friendly exchanges with its new companions, observing it several times.

“I understand your intentions. I will arrange for someone to take you to the Dragon Gate shortly.”

“Thank you, Dragon King.”

After obtaining the Dragon King's permission, the group, led by a Dragon Clan envoy, arrived at the base of the Dragon Gate.

Looking at the Dragon Gate, which soared into the clouds, a sense of awe welled up in everyone's hearts.

“Alright, go on up,” the envoy gestured.

Lan Kun took a deep breath and was the first to step onto the stairs.

The others followed closely, climbing step by step towards the top of the Dragon Gate.

Along the way, Linglong curiously looked around, occasionally playing and frolicking with the surrounding fish and shrimp.

When they finally reached the top of the Dragon Gate, a strange light descended from the sky, enveloping them.

In the blink of an eye, everyone disappeared from their original spot.

Only the envoy remained, faintly saying, “I wonder why Lord Dragon King allowed humans to enter the Dragon Gate?”

Another said, “I don't know, but since the Dragon King arranged it, he must have his own profound reasons!”

As the light dissipated, everyone found themselves in a mysterious space.

Dense Spiritual Qi permeated the surroundings, and ancient runes could be faintly seen flickering with a faint glow.

In front was a massive, tightly closed door, carved with mysterious patterns.

Lan Kun stepped forward and tried to push the door, but it remained motionless.

“This door seems to require a certain kind of power to open,” Jin Meiting said, observing the runes on the door.

Everyone began to search for clues, while Linglong tilted its Jiao head in confusion.

Why is there its master's aura here?

Suddenly, Linglong discovered a raised stone slab on the ground, inscribed with some strange symbols.

It gently touched it with its claw, and the stone slab actually emitted light.

As the stone slab was activated, the door slowly opened, revealing a passage leading downwards.

A strong Qi permeated the passage, giving off an inexplicable sense of oppression.

“It seems this is the path to the interior of the Dragon Gate,” Lan Kun said with firm eyes.

Everyone exchanged glances, then entered the passage together.

At the same time, sensing the activation of the Formation on the other side, Li Mu knew that Linglong had led Lan Kun and the others into the Dragon Gate.

He smiled; everything was proceeding smoothly according to plan.

Li Mu opened the System and then clicked on the screen of one of them.

The screen immediately displayed the person's situation inside the Dragon Gate.

He saw them diligently Cultivating and practicing, every movement and expression clearly visible.

Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, secretly praising, “These people's talents are indeed good. As long as they are given enough time and opportunity, the challenges within the Dragon Gate shouldn't be a problem.”

To ensure they would have the best Cultivation experience in the Dragon Gate, Li Mu had specifically set up several Formations beforehand.

These Formations could not only protect the Dragon Gate's safety and gather more Spiritual Qi, but also increase the difficulty and challenge of their Cultivation.

At the same time, he also meticulously designed the Cultivation path of the Dragon Gate, making them exert more effort to Breakthrough each challenge.

Watching them struggle forward in the Dragon Gate, Li Mu couldn't help but smile.

He looked forward to them passing the trials of the Dragon Gate and gaining more powerful strength and abilities.

As for which challenge they would ultimately pass in the Dragon Gate, that would depend on their own strength and luck.

Thinking of this, Li Mu closed the System interface and continued to focus on other matters.

… … … …

Inside the Dragon Gate.

Lan Kun was gasping for air, his face pale. He sat exhausted to the side, trying to adjust his breathing and physical state.

After a while, he looked up, helplessly gazing at the challenge before him, and sighed, “I truly can't do anything about this challenge; I can only rely on you all.”

His eyes revealed a hint of powerlessness and frustration, as if he felt at a loss as to how to approach this challenge.

Every challenge here was completely perplexing; they had already passed through blade Formations, sword Formations, illusion Formations, snake bone Formations…

The key was that before each Formation, there was a giant stone door. After having Breakthrough the previous giant stone doors, they knew they had to use Spiritual Qi to push them open, and only then would the actual Formation begin.

However, the further they went, the more strenuous it became to use Spiritual Qi to push open the giant stone doors. Now, Lan Kun had expended a large amount of Spiritual Qi and still couldn't push it open. This left them feeling very confused and exhausted.

Moreover, the Cultivation environment here was very strange, leaving people bewildered.

After each use of Spiritual Qi, they could only recover by relying on Medicinal Pills and could not absorb Spiritual Qi from the outside world.

However, just when they thought they could only rely on their original strength, they unexpectedly discovered that whenever they successfully passed a challenge, their Spiritual Qi would not only instantly recover, but their own Cultivation also showed a subtle upward trend.

Although they were not clear about the specific Cultivation situation inside the Dragon Gate, they realized that as long as they could successfully pass each challenge, the Spiritual Qi consumed previously could be replenished, and their Cultivation could also be improved.
