Chapter 265 Pure Land! Pure Land!
After a fierce battle, everyone in the team was exhausted, but under the leadership of Tieyi, they did not stop and continued to move towards the sealed land.
Gu Yang felt that his hilt was covered with blood, sticky and warm, which was the proof of the battle and the medal of survival.
A faint dawn began to appear in the sky ahead, shining through the sparse woods on their scarred armor.
Gu Yang looked up at the sky, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
They passed through the vast darkness and finally ushered in the dawn.
Soon, the team came to a vast plain.
This place is different from other places in the Nine Netherworld. The air is filled with an indescribable antiquity and silence, as if even time has frozen here.
In the center of the plain, a huge stone tablet stands there, engraved with unrecognizable runes, emitting a faint light.
"We are here, this is the sealed place." Tieyi's voice broke the silence, and his eyes were as hot as torches.
The team stopped in front of the stone tablet, and everyone looked around vigilantly, fearing that something unexpected would happen.
Gu Yang walked forward and reached out to touch the runes. He could feel a powerful force flowing inside the stone tablet, as if it had life.
Suddenly, the runes on the stone tablet began to flicker, and rays of light poured out from the surface of the stone tablet, forming a halo that slowly rotated in the air.
These haloes gradually expanded and eventually formed a huge light gate.
"This is the entrance to the seal. We must go in and find the core of the seal before other teams arrive, and set up defenses there." Tieyi turned his head and said to everyone.
Gu Yang nodded, he knew this was the purpose of their trip.
They must ensure that the seal is stable to prevent the legendary space seal from breaking, thus causing chaos in the entire Jiuyou world.
The team walked towards the light gate together, and everyone's face was full of determination.
They knew that behind this light gate, there might be a more powerful existence than any enemy they had encountered before.
Gu Yang took a deep breath and smoothed the last drop of blood on the blade.
His eyes were firm, and the knife in his hand was as sharp as his will.
"Let's go." Tieyi took the lead and stepped into the light gate, followed by Gu Yang and other team members.
The moment they passed through the light gate, a strong vibration spread throughout everyone's body, as if they had passed through endless space and time.
Then, their vision was bright, and then an unknown area appeared in front of them.
This is the interior of the sealed land, the space is distorted, the light is refracted, everything seems distorted and mysterious.
The scene of the sealed land is beyond Gu Yang's imagination. It is unlike any place they have ever set foot on.
Space seems to have lost its conventional meaning here, and the surrounding scenery is distorted and deformed, as if it was kneaded and thrown at will by an invisible giant hand.
The ground is a hard substance condensed from dense fog. It is elastic and cool when stepped on, as if walking on the water.
The fog is constantly flowing, sometimes forming streams, and sometimes gathering into lakes, but there is no drop of water in the lake, just more dense fog.
In this twisted space, huge stone pillars stand tall, each of which is engraved with complex symbols. These symbols emit a faint blue light, and they seem to be the key to maintaining this space.
Between the stone pillars, there is an invisible force flowing, as if it is a huge net, firmly locking the power of the sealed land.
In the sky, the light presents a strange color, sometimes deep blue, sometimes warm orange-red, and the light and shadow are interwoven into a gorgeous picture scroll here.
These lights do not come from the sun, but from the energy inside the sealed land.
In the center of this space, there is a huge altar. Above the altar floats a huge crystal ball, and there is light flowing inside the ball. That is the core of the seal.
Around the crystal ball, there are countless tiny runes spinning rapidly, as if they are maintaining a fragile balance.
Gu Yang and other members of the team were shocked by the scene before them. They knew that this was the most mysterious place in the Nine Netherworld, and also the most dangerous place.
The power of the sealed land is strong and unstable. Once there is any mistake, the consequences will be disastrous.
Tieyi's eyes fell on the crystal ball, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
He knew that their task was to set up a defensive formation here to ensure that after the seal was opened, it would not cause strong impact and damage to the outside world.
Gu Yang held the hilt tightly, and his eyes swept over the teammates around him. Everyone was preparing in their own way.
They had no time to marvel at the wonders here, because they knew that time was the most precious to them.
Under Tieyi's command, the team members began to work together. Some began to set up formations around the altar, while others were responsible for patrolling the periphery to prevent sudden invasions by unknown creatures.
Gu Yang was no exception. Together with several team members, he began to carve runes on the ground around the altar. These runes were the key to their trip. They would form a powerful defense network to protect the sealed place from interference from the outside world.
As time went on, complex formations gradually took shape. Each time one was completed, the fluctuations in space would weaken.
But at this moment, Gu Yang suddenly felt a powerful wave. This wave did not come from them, but came from deeper in the sealed land.
He looked up at the crystal ball and saw that the light there suddenly became intense, and the entire sealed land seemed to be responding to this wave of fluctuations.
Gu Yang's heart tightened, he knew that they might be about to face the test of the Sealed Land.
He quickly put away the knife and reported the situation to Tie Yi.
Tie Yi's expression also became serious, and he immediately ordered everyone to speed up and complete the arrangement of the formation as soon as possible.
However, just when they were going all out, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the center of the sealed land, and then, a powerful force surged towards them like a tide!
"Boom boom——"
At this moment, a violent shock wave swept out from the center of the altar, and with the violent light inside the crystal ball, the entire space was shaking.
Gu Yang felt that the ground under his feet seemed to become unstable, and cracks began to appear in the hard substances condensed by the mist, as if they could not withstand the surge of internal power.
"Quickly, reinforce the formation!" Tie Yi's voice echoed in the space, and his figure looked extremely firm in the light.
Gu Yang and other team members acted quickly. They inserted the magic weapons in their hands tightly into the ground and released powerful streams of Nine Netherworld forces in an attempt to stabilize the runes.
But the explosion of the power of the seal far exceeded their expectations, and the runes carved on the ground began to shatter one by one, turning into little bits of light and dissipating in the air.
At this moment, the light inside the crystal ball suddenly condensed into a beam of light, soaring straight into the sky, tearing a huge crack out of the top of the sealed land.
From the cracks, countless strange energy fluctuations surged out, carrying chaos and violence as they spread to the outside world.
Gu Yang's heart sank, and he clearly realized that if this power could not be controlled as soon as possible, their group would be in danger.
"Use your power to block it!" Tie Yi's voice revealed a trace of anxiety.
The team members did not hesitate. They poured their own power into the magic weapon, trying to use their own power to complete the broken runes and stabilize the space.
Gu Yang was no exception. He closed his eyes, focused his will and strength on the blade, and then thrust the blade into the ground.
The sword energy swirled around him like a tornado, echoing the strength of other team members, forming a temporary defensive barrier.
At this time, facing his own crisis, he couldn't care less about his goals and ideas.
No matter what we face next, staying alive is the most important thing now.
However, to the surprise of everyone in the team, the power of the sealed land was too powerful. The barrier only barely maintained for a moment before cracks began to appear.
Gu Yang felt a huge suction force, which seemed to suck them all into the broken space crack.
"No, we have to go in!" Tie Yi suddenly made a decision, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Go in? Where is..." Before Gu Yang could finish his words, Tie Yi had already taken the lead and rushed towards the crack.
Gu Yang and the other team members looked at each other. Although their hearts were full of uncertainty and fear, they knew that now they had no other choice. The best way was to choose to believe in Tie Yi.
They followed Tie Yi's footsteps and rushed towards the unknown and dangerous crack.
The moment they were about to touch the crack, an even stronger force erupted, swallowing them whole.
Gu Yang only felt the world spinning for a while, his consciousness seemed to be dissociated from this force, and then everything fell into darkness.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was already in a completely different space. There was no distorted scene here, only endless darkness and flickering light spots, as if he was in a vast universe.
In front of him was a dazzling white light.
Gu Yang blinked, trying to adapt to this sudden change.
The whispers of his teammates rang in his ears, as if everyone was confirming each other's safety.
Their figures seemed particularly isolated in this light and shadow, but the white light gave them a glimmer of hope.
Tie Yi stood at the front, his figure appearing unusually tall in the light.
He turned around and glanced at each team member, as if to confirm that everyone was ready.
"This should be the place behind the seal, where the real seal is." Tie Yi's voice was low and firm, "We must guard the seal here and deploy defenses to block the danger here."
Gu Yang nodded, and the rich power of the Nine Nethers quickly condensed in his hand, turning into a long knife again.
The team moved forward slowly, and everyone's footsteps were extremely heavy, as if every step was stepped on under the weight of time.
They looked around and saw those flickering lights gradually becoming brighter, as if they were beacons guiding them forward.
As they went deeper, the surrounding darkness began to change, and the light spots gradually converged into a path of light, guiding them toward the unknown depths.
Gu Yang walked along the path, his heart full of vigilance.
He knew that in such an unknown place, any small oversight could lead to catastrophic consequences.
They continued to move forward, and the path of light seemed to have no end, but as time passed, they finally saw new changes ahead.
As the saying goes, there are twists and turns, and there is a bright future.
After they passed through a long canyon, they found that they were standing on a bright land.
The air here was fresh, the sky was blue, and the sun was warm and bright.
The sun shone through the sparse clouds and sprinkled on this unknown land, forming mottled light and shadow.
The air was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, which came with the breeze, making people feel relaxed and happy. Gu Yang took a deep breath and felt relaxed and calm like never before.
In front of them was a vast grassland, with colorful wild flowers dotted on the green grass, swaying in the wind, full of vitality.
At the end of the grassland, a series of small hills rose gently, with green trees and birds singing on the hills, like a paradise.
Everyone in the team was shocked by this clean land. They slowed down and walked carefully on this land, fearing that they would disturb the tranquility here.
Tieyi walked in front, his eyes scanning around, as if looking for something.
His brows were furrowed, and he was obviously puzzled by the sudden appearance of this land.
Gu Yang followed behind him, his hand still tightly grasping the hilt of the knife. Although the scene here made people feel peaceful, his intuition told him that there might be unknown dangers hidden here.
They continued to move forward, and the wild flowers on the grassland seemed to welcome their arrival, swaying in the wind, as if dancing a happy dance.
Not far away, a clear stream flowed slowly, the stream gurgling, and the water reflected the light of the sun, shining brightly.
By the stream, several deer lowered their heads to drink water. The quiet and harmonious picture made people stop and watch.
However, Gu Yang and others did not relax their vigilance. They knew that the beauty here might be just an appearance, and the real danger is often hidden in the most inconspicuous place.
At this moment, Tie Yi stopped and pointed to a flower bush in front of him, whispering: "Look there."
Everyone looked along his finger and saw a stone tablet vaguely in the flowers, and some words seemed to be engraved on the stone tablet.
Gu Yang and other team members walked over carefully, cleared the wild flowers and weeds around the stone tablet, revealing the words on the stone tablet.
The text is ancient and obscure, but these people are the elites in the Nine Netherworld and have a certain understanding of ancient texts.
After some research, they finally deciphered the text on the stone tablet: "Younger generations, please remember that you are the last hope of the Naxi people!"
