Linlong smiled calmly. "It's just a gate of runes. You don't have to worry."
"Junior brother Linlong, you can open this gate? That's great!"
When they heard Linlong's words, they immediately went wild with joy. They'd already been prepared to stay here, but who would've thought that Linlong didn't care about this gate at all?
Given the strength that Linlong had just displayed, they naturally weren't worried about being tricked by him.
"Senior brother Linlong, can you really open it?" Murong Xue's eyes widened.
She naturally didn't doubt Linlong's words. She just didn't dare to believe it. After all, Ye Zhuangya had already said that it would be very difficult to open a gate like this once the runes were damaged.
"Of course," Linlong nodded at Murong Xue.
His knowledge of runes was many times greater than Yang Jian's. He could already tell what this gate of runes was when he saw it from afar.
As soon as he finished speaking, he strode towards the rune door.
When they saw Linlong walk over, they hurriedly moved to the side, making a path for him.
However, Linlong did not approach the rune door. Instead, he stopped a few feet away from it.
"Junior brother Linlong, what are you doing?" The others were somewhat confused.
If they wanted to open the gate, they should've approached it.
Linlong didn't answer. Instead, he said, "All of you, stand behind me."
Since Linlong had already said so, how could they dare to ask any more questions? They looked at each other, then walked behind Linlong.
Murong Xue also followed behind them.
When they were all behind him, Linlong once again took out the Violet Sun Divine Sword.
He then infused his profound energy into the sword. After a breath's time, he suddenly raised his hand, and an incomparably powerful sword aura immediately shot towards the gate of runes like a bolt of lightning.
Boom ….
Amidst the explosion, the sword aura smashed fiercely against the gate of runes. In an instant, the runes on the gate began to jump wildly. Even the entire cliff was shaking.
When they saw this, their faces couldn't help but twitch. They didn't think that Linlong would actually use such a method.
Most importantly, such a method was completely useless, because the runic array that relied on the entire runic array would have a stronger counterattack and defensive ability the stronger the enemy it encountered.
In other words, even a Martial King Realm or a Martial Royal Realm expert who was stronger than a Martial Overlord Realm expert would be helpless against such a runic door.
They had thought that Linlong had some understanding of runes. Who would have thought that he didn't even know such basic knowledge? They all shook their heads inwardly.
He was even more disappointed in his heart right now. If even Linlong could not open up this door, they would be stuck here forever.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened. Not only did the runic gate not retaliate, it suddenly exploded.
"Rumble …"
Amidst the loud noise, a formless and powerful energy radiated outwards from the rune gate.
Oh no!
Those few people's faces immediately changed because they felt that the energy was so powerful that they couldn't resist it at all.
Even so, they didn't sit still and wait for death. Instead, they all activated their own defensive martial arts skills.
However, they quickly heaved a sigh of relief because the energy was completely blocked in front of them. The reason for this was because Linlong had activated a wall of Celestial Qi.
Although the wall of Celestial Qi didn't cover a large area, it just happened to block the energy that was coming towards them.
That was close. If they hadn't listened to Linlong and hid behind him, they would have been seriously injured even if they didn't die from the wave of energy. The few of them still had lingering fear in their hearts.
This Linlong was actually so powerful. He was probably about the same level as Instructor Ye Hongyi and the others. Apart from being frightened, the few of them exclaimed in their hearts.
As the few of them exclaimed in surprise, the smoke from the explosion had already dissipated. When they saw the situation in front of them clearly, they were dumbfounded because the runic gate had actually disappeared.
In other words, Linlong's attack had actually pierced through the runic gate.
How was this possible? Could it be that Linlong's strength was so powerful that even the runic formation couldn't withstand it? The few of them couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.
They had originally thought that the explosion was a form of self-defense for the runic gate. Who would have thought that it was because it couldn't withstand Linlong's attack?
Murong Xue cried out in shock, "Senior brother Lin, how did you do that?"
"The runic gate's activation rune has already been damaged. It has lost most of its connection with the runic formation, so its defensive abilities have naturally been greatly weakened. That's why my sword qi was able to pierce through it," Linlong said with a calm smile.
"After the activation rune was damaged, it lost most of its connection with the runic formation?"
The few of them were at a loss when they heard Linlong's explanation. Even Murong Xue's expression was the same.
"That's right," Linlong nodded.
"Senior brother Lin, you really know a lot." Murong Xue couldn't help but gasp in admiration when she saw that Linlong actually knew something that even she didn't.
If she knew that even Ye Zhuangya didn't know about this, she would definitely be even more shocked.
The others' expressions were a little unnatural, because they realized that they were the ignorant ones.
Of course, there was another reason why Linlong was able to break through the runic gate with a single blow. It was because he understood the structure of the runes on the runic gate very well, and he knew where the weakest point was. Otherwise, even a more powerful attack might not be able to break through the runic gate in one go.
However, he didn't plan on explaining this to Murong Xue and the others, because the structure was rather complicated. It wasn't something that could be explained in a short amount of time.
"Let's hurry over there."
After coming to their senses, one of them hurriedly spoke up. With that, he immediately strode towards the metal chain bridge.
They'd been in the secret realm for so long that they'd already guessed that there was an eighty percent chance that there was some sort of treasure inside. They naturally didn't want to fall behind.
After one person took the lead, the other three followed closely behind.
On the other side, Murong Xue looked at Linlong and said, "Senior brother Lin, let's head over as well."
Linlong nodded, then followed Murong Xue towards the metal chain bridge.
He didn't care who went first. From the looks of the runic gate, he could tell that Sir Pei must have set up some obstacles ahead to protect the spiritual fire inside. How could he possibly obtain the fire by going first?
If that wasn't the case, he definitely wouldn't have let Yang Jian leave just now because of the Glacial Ice Sword.
Behind the metal chain bridge were several connected mountain peaks. The group originally thought that these rather sinister peaks would definitely contain some sort of dangerous object. To their surprise, they didn't run into any danger along the way.
When they reached the end of the last mountain peak, they discovered a plaza the size of a city in front of them.
Soon, they grew excited because they saw a flickering flame of many different colors burning in the center of the plaza.
This flame was extremely strange. Even though they were so far away, they could clearly sense its existence. Furthermore, they had a feeling that the entire plaza existed because of this flame.
"Spiritual fire! This is definitely spiritual fire!" someone cried out in joy.
"That's right, it's spiritual fire."
