When the golden doors appeared before the City Lord's Mansion, Shiuse Qiangwei's members were astonished.
It wasn't as if they hadn't seen huge city walls and tall towers that reached into the sky before.
However, the sight before them gave them an indescribable sense of awe and holiness.
Although the golden doors were only eight meters tall, the sacred aura they radiated made the surrounding Mana indescribably gentle. The sacred aura even seeped into their bones. Meanwhile, the many divine runes and diagrams carved on the doors seemed to be trying to say something. However, if players paid close attention, they would quickly discover that these runes and diagrams blurred. They couldn't see anything tangible at all.
However, these blurred words gave everyone a feeling of great importance. They couldn't help but want to know what they were, yet they couldn't find it.
Between what they could see and what they couldn't see, it was as if the golden doors were the only thing in the world.
"What's on these golden doors? I've only been looking at them for a moment, yet I feel more tired than if I had used several Advanced Combat Techniques in a row? " After staring at the golden doors for a moment, Shiuse Qiangwei hurriedly shifted her gaze away from them, shock filling her heart.
She had seen plenty of frightening and powerful items in the past.
However, just looking at the golden doors had drained her Concentration. She had never heard of such a thing in God's Domain.
If she continued to look at the doors, she would most likely enter a mental exhaustion state.
At this moment, aside from Shiuse Qiangwei, even Ke Le, Fire Dance, and the others didn't dare to continue looking at the doors. They were afraid that they would faint if they did.
Fainting in God's Domain was practically impossible. However, if it did happen, it would be even more troublesome than exhausting one's Stamina.
After exhausting one's Stamina, at most, players wouldn't be able to move. However, if they exhausted their Concentration, they would forcefully exit the game and enter a Hibernation state.
To the players on the frontlines, this was fatal.
"It's normal. The doors contain Legacies left behind from ancient times. Moreover, they are relatively complete. These Legacies are far more complex and detailed than combat techniques. They aren't something players can casually look at." Shifeng smiled bitterly when he saw everyone's curious expressions. "If you look at them for too long, you won't be able to recover even if you rest for three to five days, much less one or two days."
The Legacy Doors left behind in ancient fortresses were divided into three ranks.
They were the Bronze Gate, the Silver Gate, and the Gold Gate.
Each of the three gates' Legacies was more powerful and complete than the last. Similarly, each gate was more difficult than the last. Just the Bronze Gate's success rate alone was enough to make many Tier 3 experts bemoan their inadequacy.
On the other hand, the Golden Doors that only appeared at the Asura and Heavenly God Tiers were enough to make any top-tier expert despair.
Originally, Shi Feng had thought that the Legacy Gate the Starlight Fortress's Fortress Lord's Mansion would be a Legacy Gate of Gold. The difficulty of controlling the Legacy Gate was no less than that of controlling a large-scale fortress from ancient times.
"Could it be that the difficulty has been raised because we are the first to take control of the Ancient Fortress?" Shifeng looked at the golden door, his heart filled with doubts.
Normally, an ancient Small Stronghold's Legacy Gate would at most be a Silver Gate. Only a Medium Stronghold would have a very small chance of obtaining a Gold Gate. As for a Small Stronghold, he had never heard of a Gold Gate.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time!"
Shaking his head, Shi Feng decided not to dwell on the matter any further. Gritting his teeth, he led his team through the golden gate.
Now that he had activated the Fortress Lord's Token, regardless of whether he participated in the trial or not, he would have to wait until the token's Cooldown ended before he could activate it again. Moreover, the appearance of a Golden Door wasn't particularly bad. In fact, it was a good thing for them.
The higher the rank of a Legacy Gate, the more difficult it would be to clear it. However, it would also be more helpful to players in controlling their Mana Bodies.
This was because the Legacy Gate was the most valuable treasure in an ancient fortress. It was also the greatest benefit of controlling an ancient fortress. Only, the various major powers hadn't known about the Legacy Gate during the early stages of the game. Instead, they had treated the Legacy Gate as a simple Team Dungeon Raid Guide to improve the fortress as much as possible.
Only later did the various powers realize that the greatest value of an ancient fortress was the Legacy Gate. It was also the fastest way for players to unlock their Mana Bodies' full potential. Otherwise, players would've had to rely on themselves to explore and adapt to their Mana Bodies. It would've taken them years to fully unlock their Mana Bodies' true potential.
After Shifeng and the others passed through the golden door, the scene before them changed.
Immediately, Shifeng's team arrived before a sacred golden mountain. The mountain was several thousand meters tall, and its peak stretched as far as the eye could see. The mountain's aura rivaled that of the Tower of Four Gods, and even from a distance, it felt as if their bodies had been filled with lead. Moving around was extremely difficult.
So, this is the Golden Door's trial? Shifeng was just as shocked as he was when he saw the scenery before him.
In the past, the Legacy Gate he had entered had only been a Bronze Gate. Moreover, he had paid a hefty price for the entry slot. Otherwise, he would've had no choice but to try and adapt to his Mana Body like other independent players. Who knew how long it would've taken him to fully unlock his Mana Body?
Moreover, the more powerful one's Mana Body was, the more difficult it would be to unlock its full potential. This was why independent Tier 3 experts had struggled to surpass the various superpowers' Tier 3 experts.
However, this couldn't be helped. This was the power of a Guild's resources. Otherwise, so many experts wouldn't have joined the various superpowers.
Now that he had entered the Golden Door, however, he realized that the gap between him and Tier 3 experts was much larger than he had imagined.
When he had entered the Bronze Door, his mental state hadn't changed at all, but now that he had entered the Golden Door, he could clearly feel a trace of emptiness. This would be of great help to them, who were in a space devoid of Mana.
After all, in a space devoid of Mana, even with a Mana Body's buff, players' mental state would suffer a significant decline, which would affect their learning and development.
While Shifeng and the others quietly observed their surroundings, the phantom of a goddess in dark-blue armor suddenly appeared above them.
"I am Eliadi, the creator of this Legacy Gate. Challengers, you have two days to complete the trial and ascend the Sacred Mountain. If you fail or die within two days, you will be teleported out of this place. Only three or more of you can reach the Sacred Mountain's first floor and obtain the Bronze Mark to take control of the fortress. Remember, you only have one chance. If you wish to enter again, wait one month," Eliadi said quietly as she looked down at Shifeng and the others.
As soon as Eliadi finished speaking, the illusory image disappeared as if it had never existed.
"Thank goodness we have two days." Shifeng breathed out a sigh of relief when he heard Eliadi's explanation.
Previously, the Bronze Door had only given them one day to ascend the Golden Door. Now that they had two days, they had plenty of time. This would also allow Shiuse Qiangwei and the others to adapt to the environment. After all, this was the first time Shiuse Qiangwei and the others had visited such a place.
However, before Shifeng could rejoice, three Level 110, Tier 3 Knights in exquisite armor emerged from the Sacred Mountain. These Knights all wielded weapons, and the weakest among them was a Level 110, Tier 3 Knight. These three Knights then charged at Shifeng.
These three Knights moved swiftly. Despite being in a space devoid of Mana, they seemed to be constantly surrounded by dense Mana. Every one of their attacks contained frightening Mana fluctuations.
Three Knights with fully unlocked Mana Bodies? Shifeng could not help his surprise when he saw the three Knights charging at him.
