Chapter 279 - 279 River of the Dead
279 River of the Dead
The nine jade keys were placed into the grooves, and the huge “nine” word that protruded between the two bronze doors suddenly shone with a dazzling white light.
Then, the bronze door that had been closed all this time suddenly opened.
As the nine Jade keys were in place and the huge “nine” word in the middle of the two copper doors gradually separated and directly split the shining “nine” word.
The bronze door seemed to have not been opened for a long time. When it suddenly opened, it let out an ear-piercing sound.
However, this voice was not long. It only caused people to frown for a short while before it disappeared without a trace as if it had never appeared.
Then, darkness came into everyone’s eyes.
At this moment, the bright “nine” character, the bronze door emitting a faint green light, and the gentle white mist that filled the entire space all seemed to have disappeared. All that was left was darkness.
It was so black that it was strange and terrifying.
It was the scene behind the bronze door. It was the only scene that everyone could see after the bronze door opened.
A black light flashed. The jade key suddenly shot out from the split “nine” word and flew rapidly towards Gu Mingzhou.
Before Gu Mingzhou could even react, the jade key he had just placed in the groove had already flown back to him.
Then, the black jade key floating above Gu Mingzhou’s head suddenly dropped a light screen, directly enveloping Gu Mingzhou.
“Oh no…”
Before Jing Wudao could finish his sentence, his body suddenly turned into a red light and quickly entered Gu Mingzhou’s body.
The next moment, the jade key and Gu Mingzhou entered the pitch-black bronze door.
Immediately after, three more jade keys flew out and enveloped Gu Mingzhou, who still had a look of surprise on his face. Without waiting for him to react, the light screen lowered and instantly disappeared into the bronze door.
After that, the remaining five Jade keys flew out of the “nine” groove and also flew toward the grim-looking Shangguan Fei.
However, unlike Gu Mingzhou and Gu Mingzhou, Shangguan Fei had already reacted when the jade key flew to him.
He scuttled to He Youliang, Wu Ji patriarch, and Wei Lin’s side instantly. He reached out with both hands and grabbed their shoulders.
“Don’t move!” Shangguan Fei said in a deep voice. His words were firm and unyielding, causing the three people who were about to resist to stop.
The next moment, the five jade keys suddenly arrived, and the light curtain descended pitifully, directly enveloping He Youliang, Wei Lin, and the Wu Ji patriarch and instantly entering the bronze door.
The wide-open bronze door shook slightly before closing.
The darkness that seemed to devour the world also disappeared.
The thick white mist and the faint green glow returned to the area in front of the bronze door. As for the huge “nine” word that had been reassembled, it appeared extraordinarily dim, and its light had disappeared.
In the darkness, one could not even see one’s fingers. Gu Mingzhou only heard the sound of the wind in his ears. The scene in front of him suddenly changed. It suddenly brightened, and Gu Mingzhou had no choice but to close his eyes.
Splatter!
The sound of the river water reaching the shore entered his ears, causing Gu Mingzhou, who had his eyes tightly shut, to open them again slowly.
The hundred-meter-long river was in front of him.
The blood-Yellow River water churned endlessly, setting off wave after wave and gradually forming ripples. Although it was beautiful, it was also strange.
“This is the River of the Dead?” just as Gu Mingzhou was feeling puzzled, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
Gu Mingzhou quickly turned around.
What he saw were Shangguan Fei, Wu Ji patriarch, Wei Lin, and He Youliang. Jing Wudao was nowhere to be found.
The person who spoke was Gu Mingzhou, who looked very strong.
“Where is the Corpse flower?” He Youliang almost ignored Gu Mingzhou and walked past him.
He walked to the riverbank excitedly and looked into the distance.
Not only He Youliang, but Wei Lin, Gu Mingzhou, the Wu Ji patriarch, and even Shangguan Fei behind him also looked excited. They ignored Gu Mingzhou and walked toward the river ahead.
“Hall Master Liu, where’s Brother Wudao?” Gu Mingzhou didn’t notice everyone’s abnormality and was only concerned about Jing Wudao’s situation.
He immediately stopped Gu Mingzhou and asked.
After all, everyone was here except for Jing Wudao.
“Isn’t fellow Daoist Wudao with you? Just now, when you were brought in by the jade key, Daoist Wudao turned into a red light and entered your body.” Hall Master Liu looked at the river and replied with excitement.
He seemed to be a little impatient. He walked around Gu Mingzhou and followed the crowd to continue walking toward the long river.
“Inside me?” Gu Mingzhou couldn’t care less about his excitement. He quickly looked inside his dantian and spread out his spiritual sense.
As expected, Jing Wudao was sitting in front of the stone table, sulking.
“Brother Wudao!” Gu Mingzhou called out to her via voice transmission.
“Gu Mingzhou! Are you alright?” Jing Wudao suddenly raised his eyes and replied.
“I’m fine. Why did you return to my alternate dimension?” Gu Mingzhou asked via voice transmission.
“I don’t know either. I saw you being enveloped by the light curtain hanging down from the jade key just now. I was worried that something might have happened to you and was about to save you, but the body of my soul dispersed uncontrollably and pulled me directly back to the alternate dimension.” Jing Wudao explained gloomily.
“I see. Come out first. We seem to have entered this ancient alternate dimension.” Gu Mingzhou immediately had an idea.
Jing Wudao instantly appeared beside him.
“This place is a work of art that seizes the good fortune of heaven and earth!” as soon as Jing Wudao appeared, Shangguan Fei’s sigh came from behind the two.
Gu Mingzhou and Jing Wudao didn’t even have time to talk before they looked in the direction of the voice.
He saw Shangguan Fei and the others standing on the riverbank, looking at the rolling river and sighing.
Gu Mingzhou quietly gave Jing Wudao a look and walked toward the crowd.
Just like Gu Mingzhou, Wei Lin, and the others, Jing Wudao’s eyes were filled with surprise.
He couldn’t hide his excitement as he walked quickly towards the river.
“Yellow blood forms a river, and the heavenly Dao reincarnates for life. Yellow spring River, so this is the River of the Dead! Haha, it seems that the legends are true!” He Youliang said excitedly as he stretched out his hands.
“Not bad! This is definitely the legendary River of the Dead. I didn’t expect we would be so lucky to encounter this mysterious River of the Dead as soon as we entered!” Gu Mingzhou couldn’t hide his excitement as he looked carefully at the bloody Yellow River and couldn’t help but say.
“Since the River of the Dead really exists, doesn’t that mean that the Corpse flower, which is said to be able to reincarnate people, also exists?” Wu Ji patriarch also looked at the river in excitement.
“With the River of the Dead, the corpse flower must be here as well!” Wei Lin continued the patriarch’s words and said happily.
Before he could finish his sentence, the three quickly walked along the riverbank. Their eyes kept looking around as if they were looking for the legendary Coprse flower.
“It’s really the River of the Dead!” Jing Wudao, who was the last to arrive at the shore, looked at the river and said in surprise.
