395: Enter Kunlun Xu!

“If you're referring to the low-grade Origin of a Divine Kingdom like Lucifer's, then I certainly don't have it. Michael, in your eyes, what does Hell represent?” Song Zhong asked.

“Hell, of course, is a symbol of evil and depravity. It's a breeding ground for demons and will lead the world to ruin,” Michael said.

Song Zhong smiled faintly, “You're not wrong to say that. That Lucifer fellow has limited capabilities, and he can only produce such low-grade stuff.”

Michael's expression changed slightly. Although Hell and the Heavenly Kingdom were natural adversaries, Lucifer was, after all, from the Heavenly Kingdom.

While disparaging Hell, Song Zhong also implicitly disparaged the Heavenly Kingdom.

“Then, in your eyes, what should Hell be like?” Michael asked.

“Actually, using the term 'Hell' isn't precise. I prefer to call it the Underworld.

Hell shouldn't be seen by the world as the end of life and the source of suffering. This place is actually where all things Reincarnate. It's the end of life, but also the beginning of hope.

Just as rotting fruit provides nutrients for seeds, people yearn for the Heavenly Kingdom, but they also need Hell.

The meaning of the Lycoris Radiata flower is 'endless life,' which aligns perfectly with my Divine Kingdom,” Song Zhong slowly began.

“Reincarnation and hope?” Michael murmured, seemingly lost in thought.

By the time he came back to his senses, Song Zhong had already vanished.

Michael looked at the moon in the sky, flapped his wings, and shot straight up into the heavens.

...

Great Xia, Mount Kunlun.

At this moment, Lin Qi Ye and the others had already arrived at the peak of Kunlun.

As the saying goes, 'it's cold at the top.' The wind howled on the mountaintop, and the sunlight, reflecting off the ice and snow, was incredibly dazzling.

The peak of Kunlun is covered in ice and snow year-round, and the surrounding mountain ranges stretch endlessly. But no matter how you look at it, this doesn't resemble the Yaochi Wonderland.

“Here, besides ice and snow, there are only rocks. The legendary Yaochi Wonderland is said to be filled with exotic flowers and plants. It can't possibly look like this, can it?” Cao Yuan said, crossing his arms.

An Qingyu carefully observed his surroundings, but after a thorough look, he didn't find anything unusual.

“How strange. According to that bald monk, Yaochi should be in Mount Kunlun.”

“Perhaps there was a mistake somewhere, but "Destiny" the monk would never lie to me. Yaochi must be here. Let's keep looking.” Lin Qi Ye's eyes were filled with determination. He absolutely had to find the Yaochi Wonderland.

Galan, standing to the side, hesitated for a moment before saying, “The Yaochi Wonderland is indeed here, but the entrance to it is hidden.”

Hearing Galan's words, Cao Yuan's eyes lit up with curiosity, “Galan, you know the entrance to Yaochi, don't you?”

Everyone's gaze focused on Galan. She seemed a little embarrassed. She didn't speak, only nodded.

Everyone tacitly refrained from pressing further. They knew that if Galan wanted to tell them, she would naturally do so.

If she didn't want to say it, there must be a reason.

Lin Qi Ye held Galan's hand and said, “Thank you.”

This thank you made Galan's face flush.

Lin Qi Ye's gaze already showed his attitude: no matter what relationship Galan had with Yaochi, Galan would always be the Galan of the Reserve Squad.

“Follow me!”

Galan said, then walked towards the other side of the mountaintop.

Lin Qi Ye and the others immediately followed, but no one noticed that on the ground not far from them, a rock suddenly sank into the earth and followed them.

Lin Qi Ye and the others followed Galan forward, circling around the peak and descending to the other side of the mountain.

As they went deeper, they arrived in front of a giant rock face.

The wind howled past, and the few of them instinctively Shrinking his neck.

“Galan, is this it?” Lin Qi Ye asked.

Galan nodded and said, “To enter Yaochi, you must find the Kunlun Void. This is the Kunlun Void.”

With that, Galan placed her hand on the giant rock.

Crack!

A faint sound came from within the rock, barely audible amidst the howling wind.

Immediately after, countless cracks appeared on the rock.

Lin Qi Ye and the others widened their eyes. Although they knew Galan wasn't an ordinary person, they hadn't expected her to be so strong.

Spiderweb-like cracks quickly spread across the rock's surface, and then, pieces of rock began to fall off.

“This won't cause a landslide, will it?” Cao Yuan was afraid that Galan's movements would be too large, causing the entire mountain to collapse.

Lin Qi Ye and An Qingyu shook their heads, their eyes fixed on the rock.

After the rock's surface peeled away, faint, mottled patterns were revealed inside.

They were bronze patterns.

Unexpectedly, such a secret was hidden behind this rock.

“Galan, what is this?”

The rock's surface had completely peeled off, revealing a giant bronze Formation Plate in front of the group.

“This is the Kunlun Void. In fact, it's a Formation. Only by activating the Formation can you enter Yaochi.” Galan's tone was calm, as if she was very familiar with everything here.

“Then how do we activate the Formation?” An Qingyu asked.

“Just follow me.”

After speaking, Galan extended her fair hand. A bracelet was on her wrist.

Among the beads on the bracelet, a blue jade bead suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

As the blue light flickered, the bronze Formation Plate seemed to react.

The patterns and profound symbols on it suddenly lit up, and the Formation Plate slowly rotated.

Rumble!

It seemed that no one had activated this grand Formation for too long, as a rough, grating sound emanated from the bronze Formation Plate.

It was like an old, dusty antique suddenly coming to life.

After about a few minutes, the light on the patterns and symbols suddenly extinguished, and then, a passage appeared within the Formation Plate.

Galan's eyes flashed with excitement when she saw the passage appear.

“Quickly follow me in, this Formation Plate is about to close.”

With that, Galan was the first to dive in.

Lin Qi Ye and Cao Yuan quickly followed. Just as Lin Qi Ye was about to turn back and pull An Qingyu in as well.

An Qingyu suddenly took half a step back.

Lin Qi Ye and Cao Yuan's faces were filled with confusion as they watched An Qingyu suddenly retreat.

“An Qingyu, hurry up, the Formation Plate is about to close!” Lin Qi Ye and Cao Yuan shouted.

But An Qingyu shook his head, “You go in. I'll stay outside and guard the door.”

Lin Qi Ye felt something was off, but the Formation Plate had already begun to slowly close.

“An Qingyu, is something wrong?” Lin Qi Ye shouted loudly.

“Don't worry, I just want to do some investigations in Mount Kunlun. I'll wait for your good news here,” An Qingyu said with a smile.

Lin Qi Ye and the others were very anxious, but they could only watch helplessly as An Qingyu's face disappeared with the closing of the Formation Plate.

After the Formation Plate closed, An Qingyu slowly turned around. His expression became very cold, and he shouted towards the mountains:

“Friend, you've been following us for so long, it's time to show yourself, isn't it?”
