Chapter 1031: The Barrier Opens, The Mysterious Path
Editor: Henyee Translations

After hearing Qin Shenwu’s words, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan immediately thought of the Dao rules of Life and Death that they had comprehended within this immortal cave abode.

From the inheritance of the Life and Death rules, they knew that the realm of life and death was a chance left by the creator of the cave.

The Life and Death rules and the master of the cave undoubtedly shared a mysterious connection.

They recalled that the location where they had obtained the Life and Death rules was not overly demanding in terms of strength for its trials.

Instead, it focused on the innate talent and wisdom of those destined to discover it, giving Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan the impression of selecting disciples or heirs.

Now, if anything could prove that they were fated individuals connected to this immortal cave abode, it was undoubtedly the Life and Death rules.

A spark of enlightenment flashed through them, and without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan manifested their powers. Immediately, the Life and Death rules, half pure black and half pure white, soared into the sky like a dragon.

In an instant, it enveloped the area behind them, emitting an ancient and majestic aura.

Driven by Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, the tremendous forces of the Dao rules slowly spread toward the unbreakable barrier.

At that moment, everyone present held their breath, their hearts strung tight with tension.

Although Qin Shenwu and the others were unclear about the relationship between the Life and Death rules and this barrier, they knew that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan would not act without reason.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were extremely cautious. While operating the Life and Death rules, they were acutely aware of any potential outburst of the barrier.

After all, the power of this barrier was extraordinary, far surpassing the level of a Mahayana Daolord.

If the barrier interpreted their probing with the Life and Death rules as an attack, it could trigger severe consequences.

However, the worst-case scenario that everyone feared did not occur.

The Life and Death rules gradually covered every inch of the barrier, turning it entirely into shades of black and white.

Yet, the expected reaction from the barrier did not occur.

“There’s no response… Could we be wrong?” Jiang Chengxuan pondered, causing everyone to furrow their brows, just as they were about to sigh in resignation.

But then, unexpectedly, the change occurred.

Boom!

Suddenly, the previously silent barrier began to tremble. Under its influence, the black and white Life and Death rules rippled like water on a drum, starting to boil and leap.

A sense of recognition and peace burst forth from within the barrier.

This transformation turned everyone’s silence into joy, their eyes lighting up with excitement.

Previously, no matter what methods they used, this barrier had remained silent, like an eternal mountain.

But now, it finally showed activity, displaying a very lively scene.

Clearly, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s guess was correct—this barrier was indeed linked to the Life and Death rules they had comprehended.

This revelation undoubtedly accelerated the manifestation of the Life and Death rules by Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

As the Life and Death rules penetrated deeper, the aura within the barrier became clearer and more distinct.

Boom!

Accompanied by a muffled sound, dazzling treasures lights suddenly illuminated this part of the world.

The barrier had weakened significantly, and countless colorful mists of light leaped out, transforming the surrounding area into a scene resembling celestial mountains.

The barrier had finally opened completely!

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan immediately retracted their Dao rules, descending from the sky to join the others.

At this moment, what unfolded before them was an endless undulating sea of colorful clouds and an extremely simple, ancient winding path.

This sight momentarily stunned everyone, including Qin Shenwu, who widened his eyes in astonishment.

They had anticipated finding incredible treasures or something akin to supreme spiritual fruits inside the barrier.

At the very least, they expected a cave or inheritance that could greatly enhance their strength.

Yet, no one had ever seen a mere simple path, so ordinary yet guarded by such a high-level barrier, covered in dazzling light and colorful mists.

This path, aside from its unseen end, was indistinguishable from a normal mountain trail, like those trodden by sheep in the mundane world of the Haoran Sect.

“This… it’s just a path, truly unprecedented and unheard of,” Qin Shenwu exclaimed, his experience in the cultivation world making this discovery all the more astounding.

Perhaps, only those legendary immortals with eccentric personalities would enjoy playing such a joke on those fated to find them.

Yet, despite their shock at the appearance of this winding path, no one felt disappointed or doubtful.

In their eyes, though the path seemed ordinary, it felt endlessly extending forward as if leading to infinity. This subtle sense gave everyone a strong impression that, while unassuming, the path held genuine mystery.

Intuitively, they sensed that this meandering path, which led forward without a clear destination, likely held the true secrets of this place.

“How about it, Shifu, Senior Sister Xie, Senior Brother Zhao, shall we walk this path?” Jiang Chengxuan gathered his thoughts and calmly turned to the others for their decision.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Xie Xiangyao and Zhao Tianfan both nodded slightly.

“The secrets of this immortal cave abode, I believe, undoubtedly lie within it,” Qin Shenwu stated gravely.

The immortal cave abode was replete with mysteries. Who its master was, why it appeared in this foreign realm, where the master had gone, and why it was created—all these unanswered questions perhaps could be unraveled at the end of this winding path.

Everyone shared a strong feeling that if they embarked on this path, the true secrets of the immortal cave abode would unveil themselves to them.

Such allure was irresistible to the cultivators who had ventured to this cave, coming specifically for this kind of discovery. Now that the opportunity lay before them, how could anyone think of turning back?

Moreover, their collective strength had significantly improved compared to when they first arrived.
