Lu An raised his head and looked at the city gate in front of him. Even if he closed his eyes, he could still remember the shape of the city gate in his mind. He tried his best to think. His divine sense had already reached a very high level, but he still could not figure out what to do.
What he was most worried about now was that opening the city gate required the power of a Level Nine Heavenly Master. If that was the case, he would have no chance at all. However, if he did not find the wrong place, this was the place that the head of the Fu Clan wanted him to come to. There should not be such a problem.
What should he do?
Lu An frowned and pondered. After a few breaths, he took a deep breath and opened his interspatial ring. He took out the water droplet from within. Lu An was very surprised that the interspatial ring could be opened here. However, he did not have the time to think about it. He focused on observing the water droplet.
Could this water droplet be related to opening the city gate?
Lu An looked at the changes inside the water droplet. It was the same as outside the deep pit. The water droplet had become extremely quiet. However, it was different from normal water. No matter how much he shook it, the water droplet was very calm. It was as if it was not affected by external forces. This made Lu An frown even more. He did not know what this meant.
After the water droplet appeared, the city gate in front of him did not have any reaction. It was obvious that there was no connection between the two. Lu An could only keep the water droplet and walk forward. He only stopped when he reached the city gate.
Lu An could touch the city gate by raising his hand.
Bang.
Lu An's hand touched the city gate. Immediately, he felt an ice-cold aura. The surroundings were filled with ice. This caused the metal to become extremely cold.
Ice cold?
Lu An's body shook. Could it be that he had to use ice to control the flow of the array within the city gate? This would reduce the power of the array to the minimum. This would cause the power of the city gate to be greatly reduced. Then, he would be able to open the door?
This method was worth trying. However, Lu An looked up at the metal gate. It was definitely not made of normal metal. Lu An had a feeling that his power was not enough to freeze the entire city gate. In fact, he was very far from being able to do so! He had to start from a part, not the whole thing!
Considering his strength, the easiest place for him to strike would be the deepest part of the statue. If this city gate wasn't intentionally making things difficult for him, and if the direction of his thinking was truly correct …. Immediately, a three-dimensional image of the entire city gate appeared in Lu An's sea of consciousness. The deepest parts of the statue were all found by him!
After finding it, Lu An took a deep breath and clenched his fists!
The possibility was increasing!
There were a total of 64 spots, and there were exactly that many of the deepest spots in the statue. Furthermore, they were all on the same plane! If these sixty-four points were to be singled out, they would form eight straight lines that were aimed at the center of the city gate!
Eight straight lines, each leading to the center. It was hard not to think that such a secretive and special scene was related to the opening of the city gate. Lu An was the same. He believed that this was most likely the method to open the city gate.
Lu An furrowed his brows as he pondered. The water droplet object was given to him by the head of the Fu Clan. If he didn't find the wrong place, it meant that this place was definitely related to the Hachiko clan. Furthermore, all the attributes he saw came from the power of the Hachiko clan. The eight straight lines all led to the center. From the numbers, it was more likely that they corresponded to the Hachiko clan. Could it be that each straight line corresponded to the ultimate power of each clan?
It wasn't that Lu An had never seen such a formation before. If this formation was compared to a large door lock, it meant that the door lock had more than one entrance that could be opened with a key, and each entrance had a different key. Eight different keys could open the lock, but the prerequisite was that the correct entrance had to be found. The center of these eight straight lines was most likely the entrance to the core of the lock, and the key was most likely the power of the Hachiko clan.
Lu An had the ice attribute among the eight ultimate attributes. If it was as he guessed, then he already had a key. The problem now was to find the correct entrance. In other words, he had to find the line that corresponded to the Deep Ice and pierce the ice into it to open the door.
This formation definitely couldn't use ice to inject all 64 points at the same time. The requirements for infusion were very strict. Not to mention infusion at the same time, even if the ice touched the surrounding metal, it could cause failure.
Immediately, Lu An released eight streaks of ice, which surged toward one of the straight lines. Lu An concentrated on controlling the ice. In order to avoid touching other parts of the body, he controlled it very carefully. Finally, the eight streaks of ice arrived at the same distance above the straight line, waiting to be pierced. The diameter of each streak of ice was extremely thin. The diameter of each streak of ice was less than 1/100th of an inch. That's right, these deep points were very small.
In order to maintain stability, Lu An didn't even dare to breathe. After stabilizing his breathing, the eight streaks of ice immediately pierced through!
Bang!!
The eight streaks of ice pierced through the eight deep points on the straight line. Lu An's control was indeed strong. The process of piercing through was perfect and didn't touch any edges.
But even so … there was still no reaction.
Lu An didn't retract the ice. Instead, he observed the entire city gate. After a full ten breaths, the city gate really didn't react at all.
No, it was very likely that he found the wrong straight line.
There were only eight straight lines in total. At worst, he could try them one by one. It wouldn't take much time.
Immediately, Lu An began to test them one by one according to the order. Every one of them needed more than ten breaths of time to confirm that they were ineffective. At the same time, he had to make sure that none of them failed.
The second one … the third one … the fourth one …
Failure.
The fifth one … the sixth one … the seventh one …
Failure.
Lu An frowned. After taking out the ice, he looked at the last straight line.
There was only one left.
Could it be that his luck was so bad that he was the last one to open the city gate? Or could it be that … he had thought in the wrong direction. This deep point wasn't the key to opening the city gate?
It was meaningless to think about it now. No matter what, he would try the last straight line. He took a light breath and immediately pierced the eight ice towards this straight line!
One breath … two breaths … ten breaths …
Lu An's brows furrowed tightly. His heart sank completely, and the ice in his heart gradually dissipated.
No reaction.
The city gate didn't move at all.
Lu An stood at the city gate. Could it be that this deep point was really meaningless? Was he thinking in the wrong direction?
Three thousand meters away, in the darkness, only the eight heavily injured Dragon Kings released their power slightly, causing a trace of light to appear in the surroundings. Although they were injured, every Dragon King's eyes were staring at the ice three thousand meters away. The ice layer was translucent. They could vaguely see Lu An's figure, as well as the light emitted by Lu An every time he made a move.
Lu An tried several times but didn't move forward. This meant that the city gate wasn't opened. Burning Heaven Dragon King snorted and said, "He really thinks that he is invincible. It would be strange if he could enter without us!"
No Dragon King responded to Burning Heaven Dragon King. However, they more or less agreed in their hearts. This Lu An was thinking too highly of himself.
Within the ice layer, Lu An naturally wouldn't be distracted to think about what the eight Dragon Kings were thinking. Instead, he focused his attention on the sixty-four deep points. He still hadn't completely given up on this idea. He was trying to find if there was something he missed.
He had a faint feeling that the answer was clearly in front of him, but he was looking in the wrong direction!
Where did he go wrong?
Lu An frowned. After pondering for a while, he retreated three hundred meters away. He came to the edge of the ice layer and looked at the huge city gate.
In his eyes, there were no engravings at all. There were only these sixty-four deep points.
And at this moment … his body suddenly trembled! He knocked on his own head with force. He was angry that he didn't notice such an obvious pattern!
Sixty-four points. Every eight points on a circular pattern formed eight circles. What was even more coincidental was that these eight circles were all concentric circles!
That's right, the eight circles were all concentric circles. It was just that the radius of each circle was different. From the inside to the outside, the distance between each circle was exactly the same!
If each circle was considered as an entrance, then each circle was the key to stopping the city gate from releasing energy towards the center! It was extremely difficult for a single line to cut off the energy flow within the city gate. However, if it was a circle of eight points, then it was definitely possible!
According to the ranking of the Hachiko clan's strength, the Kang Clan who possessed the Deep Ice was the weakest clan. It was also corresponding to the outermost circle. Lu An immediately returned to the front of the city gate. He controlled the ice to appear and rush towards the eight outermost points. Moreover, it stopped at the top.
Lu An took a deep breath and held his breath. Following that, he pierced the eight ice with all his strength!
Boom!!!
A huge sound exploded from the city gate. Even the ground was shaken. It spread throughout the entire dark space!
