Outside the Void Sky Realm, at the end of the Sky Split Valley, the two ancient stone gates on the stone wall were already showing signs of closing. Although it was very slow, the two stone gates, which emitted an aura of infinite antiquity, were indeed closing.
Ancient divine patterns could be seen on the stone gates from time to time, and then dissipated into the void. The power of the seal was growing stronger and stronger, to the point that even the primordial Qi of Heaven and Earth gathered by the ancient grand formation could not hold the two stone gates in place.
The master of the Void Sky Realm had left a channel that connected to the outside world, and the energy channel that had been opened was closing at an extremely slow speed.
If one did not pay attention to it, they would not have noticed it at all.
However, all the people guarding the end of the Sky Split Valley began to grow nervous. They knew that tonight would be the time when the stone gates would completely close.
It was noon on the tenth day. Nothing unusual happened in the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range, except, of course, in the Sky Split Valley. The ancient grand formation in front of the stone wall at the end of the valley was exerting great power, and the power of the grand formation had been activated to its peak state.
The huge formation on the ground had almost materialized, and numerous mysterious lines seemed to be rushing out of the ground. The entire grand formation was giving off a terrifying energy fluctuation that made even heaven and earth pale.
This energy fluctuation could be sensed even from a thousand miles away. It was a fluctuation of power that could destroy heaven and earth.
Fortunately, the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range was vast and boundless. A thousand miles of land in the endless mountains was like a sesame seed falling into a sea. If one wanted to find the Sky Split Valley, they would have to be as lucky as the Demon Emperor of Six Paths, who had accidentally stumbled into the range of this energy fluctuation.
Endless Essence of Heaven and Earth madly converged towards the grand formation from all directions. Daoist Li Shang, who was originally sitting cross-legged in the center of the formation's altar, had already stood up and was staring nervously at the ancient stone gate on the stone wall in front of him.
Inside the altar's center of the formation, there was an ocean-like energy fluctuation around him. If he was not careful, he would be torn to pieces by the terrifying energy outside the formation, and both his body and soul would be destroyed.
Even an expert of Daoist Li Shang's level would not be able to escape.
On the cliffs on both sides of the valley stood no less than a hundred cyan-robed high-ranking disciples. Among these high-ranking disciples, there were young men and white-haired old men.
The age at which they attained the Dao usually determined the appearance of these cultivators. Very few people would change it. A Transcending Mortality Stage cultivator's appearance wouldn't change much.
None of the high levelled disciples guarding the Sky Splitting Valley had cultivation lower than the Transcending Mortality Stage.
At this moment, all the disciples in the Sky Splitting Valley had gathered at the end of the valley. No one spoke as everyone was extremely nervous.
The tenth day was the last day of the Ruin Heaven Realm's opening. It was also the most important day. Nothing could go wrong. Otherwise, the people inside would be trapped in the Ruin Heaven Realm.
None of the disciples of the three great Daoist sects who had been trapped in the Ruin Heaven Realm had ever come out alive the next time it opened.
In other words, once the stone gate was closed, only death awaited those in the Ruin Heaven Realm.
The two old Taoists who were guarding the Sky Splitting Valley, whose hair and teeth were almost all gone, also came to the top of the cliff at this time. The two old Taoists' eyes, which were originally cloudy, were now as bright as the stars in the sky.
The two old Taoists looked at the two stone gates on the cliff. At this moment, they could no longer keep their calm, and their faces were filled with nervousness.
Even the two old Taoists' Grandmasters, Daoist Kurong, who had destroyed Demon Monarch of Six Paths' first clone with just a raise of his hand, was hiding in the sky, closely watching everything happening below.
Daoist Kurong's wide right sleeve glowed with a blood-red light, and an evil and ferocious aura was vaguely seeping out of it.
Daoist Li Shang, who was standing in the eye of the altar's formation, looked up at the blazing sun hanging high in the sky and muttered to himself, "It's time!"
With that, he sat cross-legged in the eye of the formation and began to perform incantation gestures. As one mysterious incantation gesture after another emerged on his hands, he gradually seemed to have become one with the altar under him.
Daoist Li Shang carefully guided the altar's power, which then drove the power of the entire formation, causing the whole formation to gradually shake.
The endless power gathered by the formation finally condensed into eighty-one balls of light that emitted dazzling light, hovering around the altar.
Daoist Li Shang had a grave expression on his face. Bean-sized beads of sweat flowed down his face, and his white Taoist robe was soaked with sweat. He seemed to be very strenuous.
"It's finally the last step!" The two old Daoists on the cliff looked at the scene happening in the diagram below and said such words.
"Go!" Daoist Li Shang performed an incantation gesture and pointed at the two ancient stone gates on the cliff in front of him. The 81 light balls that lingered around the altar immediately flew toward the stone gates.
Under Daoist Li Shang's control, the 81 light balls rushed into the spatial passage behind the stone gates one after another and disappeared inside in the blink of an eye.
In the Void Heaven Realm, in an area that had already been explored, a terrifying energy fluctuation suddenly spread out over a quiet valley. A part of the space suddenly shook violently, and ripples spread out in all directions.
Then, the space above the valley seemed to suddenly collapse and shatter. A spatial passageway with a diameter of about 30 feet appeared in the void.
The same thing happened on a barren mountain somewhere in the Ruins Heaven Realm. A ball of light suddenly appeared over the top of the mountain as if it had shattered the void. Immediately afterward, a spatial passage appeared in the sky.
Such an anomaly only appeared in the explored areas of the Ruins Heaven Realm, and there were not only two such spatial passages, but a total of 81 of them.
All 81 spatial nodes had been opened, and every disciple of the Three Great Taoist Sects who entered the Ruins Heaven Realm knew where the spatial nodes were.
There were even some people who had been waiting at the places where the spatial nodes had appeared. The moment the spatial nodes were opened, several people immediately rushed into the spatial nodes.
Soon, the spatial passage that connected the Ruins Heaven Realm and the macro world behind the stone gates flashed repeatedly, and the few Dao disciples who had rushed into the spatial nodes from the Ruins Heaven Realm walked out from behind the stone gates.
The hundreds of Dao disciples on the cliff immediately burst into cheers, and the wrinkled faces of the two old Daoists also bloomed with joy.
At noon, Gu Fei and the old turtle finally walked out of the Heaven Burial Valley. Just as the 81 spatial nodes appeared one after another, the jade slip in Gu Fei's storage bag began to vibrate and emit bursts of light.
The jade slip was not as simple as a map of the Ruins Heaven Realm, but also served as a warning, reminding every Dao disciple who had entered the Ruins Heaven Realm that it was time to get out of the Ruins Heaven Realm.
"The spatial nodes have been opened, so we still have 12 hours! We must find the location of a spatial node before midnight tonight, "Gu Fei said indifferently, his expression somewhat unsightly.
Because they had just walked out of the Heaven Burial Valley, according to Gu Fei's estimation, they were thousands of miles away from the nearest spatial node.
First, they had to pass through the endless wilderness, then bypass the Primordial Ominous City, pass through the primeval forest, and find the small valley in the mountains.
The spatial node was in the valley.
"Haha! I can finally leave this damn place! " The old turtle, who was carrying the black stick, was stunned at first when he heard Gu Fei's words, then became excited, and shouted in ecstasy.
The old turtle seemed to have gone mad. It was no wonder that he was like this. After being trapped in the Primordial Ominous Formation for countless years, an ordinary person would have had a mental breakdown even if they did not die. The old turtle wanted to leave this False Realm even in his dreams.
Gu Fei did not bother to pay attention to the old turtle. Instead, he immersed his mind in the jade slip that was emitting a misty glow in his hand, searching for the most convenient way to the spatial node in the mountains thousands of miles away.
After a while, Gu Fei's mind withdrew from the jade slip. He let out a long sigh. There seemed to be no shortcut to the nearest spatial node, which made Gu Fei very depressed.
"Let's go! If we can't get there in time, you'll be crying! "Gu Fei glanced at the crazy old turtle and said unhappily.
The location of the spatial node was marked on the map in the jade slip, but even with the map, it was not easy to find the spatial node in the mountains.
However, there was no other way. The other spatial nodes were located further away, and the places where some spatial nodes appeared were not good places.
Gu Fei no longer paid attention to the old turtle and walked straight ahead. Soon, his figure disappeared into the jungle. The old turtle, who had sobered up, quickly chased after him.
"Brat, wait for me!"
When Gu Fei entered the Ruin Sky Realm, a spatial node with a diameter of thirty feet also appeared in the sky above the Divine Eagle Ridge. When this spatial node appeared, the disturbance caused by it immediately alarmed the countless Steelback Goshawks that were resting on the Divine Eagle Ridge.
In the sky above the Divine Eagle Ridge, there was a dense mass of Steelback Goshawks circling in the sky. More and more Steelback Goshawks swooped down from the sky and flew into the spatial node.
From time to time, ferocious Giant Goshawks rushed out of the two ancient stone doors on the stone wall at the end of the Rift Valley. Then, with a flash of sword light, a mist of blood erupted in the air. The Giant Goshawks that rushed out of the stone doors were instantly killed, their mangled corpses falling from the sky.
The corpses of nearly a hundred Giant Goshawks had piled up below the stone doors. Their blood had dyed the stone walls red, but not a single drop of the blood had splashed onto the two ancient stone doors.
The power of the seal emanating from the stone doors had blocked the mist of blood that had erupted when the flying sword had killed the Giant Goshawks.
