Chapter 665 Ancient Gate Trial (Instance Opened)
As soon as Yun Yao's fingertips touched the bronze gate, an overwhelming force surged in, as if an ancient beast had opened its huge mouth to swallow the sky and the earth. The turbulence of time and space was like a furious dragon, instantly dragging her into an unknown chaotic space. Chu Mochen was furious and flew forward, but was severely bounced back by an invisible barrier. He flew backwards several feet and fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
"Yao'er!" Chu Mochen shouted, his voice becoming hoarse due to anxiety, but the only response he got was the gradually closing giant door and the breath of Yun Yao fading away inside the giant door. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white, his joints creaked, and his eyes were fixed on the closed door, wishing he could penetrate it with his eyes.
Yun Yao steadied herself in the chaos, and before she could see clearly around her, twelve phantoms appeared before her eyes like ghosts. These phantoms were dressed in simple robes, with mysterious runes around them, and their faces were solemn and dignified, and their eyes seemed to contain endless stars. They were the ancestors of Hongmeng.
"Saint, only by passing the 'Trial of Origin' can you be qualified to open the ancient door." A voice as powerful as a bell rang in Yun Yao's ears, as if it came from the ancient times, shaking her eardrums and trembling her soul.
Yun Yao took a deep breath, suppressed her anxiety, and nodded with a firm gaze. She understood that this was a challenge given by fate, and it was also the only way to solve the mystery of her life and save the people.
The first level is "Cause and Effect Mirror". Yun Yao felt a flash of light before her eyes, and the scene suddenly changed. She was in a familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard. There were flowers blooming, grass was green, and the air was filled with a faint floral scent. However, this seemingly beautiful scene made Yun Yao's heart sink suddenly.
Because she saw the original owner, Lin Yue. That weak woman was cowering in a corner, her clothes ragged, her face covered with tears, bruises and scars all over her body. Liu Yan'er stood aside, her face twisted, her eyes full of malice and pleasure, and the whip in her hand whipped Lin Yue again and again like a poisonous snake.
"Bitch, you dare to argue with me, this is what happens to you!" Liu Yan'er's curse was sharp and piercing.
Lin Yue's painful groans pierced Yun Yao's heart like needles. Yun Yao subconsciously wanted to rush forward to stop her, but she found that she couldn't get close at all, as if there was an invisible wall blocking her.
Yun Yao was extremely anxious, and her eyes were eagerly searching for a way out of the situation. Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, and she remembered everything she had experienced and everything that had changed since she had traveled through time. She realized that although this cause-and-effect mirror reflected the past, it was also connected to the present.
Yun Yao closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and mobilized the power of Hongmeng in her body. A soft light appeared in her palm, and countless stars seemed to twinkle in the light. She slowly pushed this power towards Lin Yue, muttering to herself: "With the power of today, change the results of the past."
As the light enveloped Lin Yue, a strange scene occurred. The scars on Lin Yue's body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her originally dull eyes gradually regained their spirit. The whip in Liu Yan'er's hand seemed to have lost its power and fell limply. The viciousness on her face was replaced by horror, and she seemed to not understand why things had suddenly turned around.
At this moment, the scene changed again, and Yun Yao knew that she had passed the first level.
The second level, "Dao Heart Tribulation". Yun Yao felt a blackness in front of her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a dark void, with only a flickering light in front of her. She ran towards the light, and when she got closer, she found that there were two people standing in the light - Chu Mochen and an old man with a haggard face and desperate eyes.
Beside the old man were countless suffering people. They were ragged, pale and thin, and their cries were deafening.
"Yao'er, today the only way to save these people is to kill this man and take his heart blood." Chu Mochen's voice was icy cold, completely different from usual. He pointed the long sword in his hand at the old man, with blood dripping from the tip of the sword, as if he had already killed him.
Yun Yao's eyes widened in disbelief. "Chen Lang, how could this be? There must be other ways to save the people, how can you use such a cruel method!" She tried to persuade him, her voice trembling.
"There is no other way. This is destined by heaven. If you don't make a choice, these people will die because of you!" Chu Mochen's eyes were determined and he pressed on step by step.
Yun Yao was torn between her own thoughts and her own desires. On one hand, there was her beloved, and on the other hand, there were the people of the world. No matter which one she chose, it would be like being pierced by thousands of arrows. But she knew very well that this was a test of her heart. If she was easily deceived by appearances, she would fall into the devil's way.
She calmed down, closed her eyes, and put aside all distracting thoughts. The power of Hongmeng slowly flowed through her body, and her consciousness seemed to have transcended her body, overlooking everything. Gradually, she discovered a flaw - in this void, there was a faint evil aura controlling everything, distorting the image of Chu Mochen and the people.
Yun Yao suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes gleaming like torches. She formed seals with her hands, chanted an ancient spell, and the power of Hongmeng rushed towards the evil aura like a surging wave.
"The Eye that breaks illusions, see through illusions!" With Yun Yao's cry, the dark void was like a broken mirror, peeling off piece by piece. The evil aura dissipated into nothingness, and the phantoms of Chu Mochen and the people also disappeared, replaced by a peaceful light.
Yun Yao's forehead was covered with sweat, her face was pale, but she was smiling. Although this second level was extremely difficult, she passed it.
However, the following levels became increasingly difficult. Yun Yao overcame all the difficulties, but she was also covered in wounds.
Finally, they came to the most dangerous ninth level, "Time and Space Paradox". Yun Yao had just stood firm when she heard a sound of machinery running. She looked closely and saw that it was "another self" - the scientific research subject when Su Yao was there, wearing a white lab coat, with a cold and distant look in his eyes, like a machine without emotions, holding a "quantum wave gun" in his hand, with the black muzzle pointing directly at her.
"Yun Yao, do you think you are the darling of fate? You are just the little white mouse number 007 in the laboratory!" The voice of mechanical Su Yao was cold and seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell.
Before Yun Yao could respond, bullets were already coming at her like a storm. She dodged with a flash of her body, but the bullet grazed her cheek, leaving a bloody mark.
Yun Yao thought to herself: "This quantum wave gun is the project I participated in the research and development of in my previous life, but now it has become a weapon against myself." She steadied her mind, circulated the power of Hongmeng, and tried to sense the surrounding time and space.
Suddenly, she discovered that this seemingly desperate space actually contained countless tiny cracks in time and space. These cracks were like spider threads hidden in the darkness, which were difficult for ordinary people to detect.
Yun Yao smiled and thought of a plan. When the mechanical Su Yao fired again, she did not dodge, but rushed towards the bullet. Just when the bullet was about to hit her, she performed a modified version of "space folding technique", instantly expanding and distorting the cracks in the surrounding space and time.
The moment the bullet touched Yun Yao, it seemed to fall into an endless maze, its speed suddenly slowed down, and its energy was quickly dispersed. Yun Yao took the opportunity to push back, absorbing all the energy in the bullet and converting it into her own spiritual energy. Then she waved her hands, and runes flew out like spirit snakes, interweaving into a tight net in the air, covering the mechanical Su Yao.
A trace of panic flashed in the eyes of Mechanical Su Yao. She tried to break free, but found that she was firmly trapped and could only struggle in vain in the three-inch small world.
The twelve ancestors' phantoms witnessed this scene, nodded slightly, and praised in unison: "Only those who can integrate the wisdom of the two worlds can be called the Saintess of Hongmeng."
Yun Yao did not relax because she knew that there were still a few levels waiting for her. The next levels would either test her exquisite control of the power of Hongmeng or make her face her past fears, but Yun Yao relied on her tenacious will, extraordinary intelligence, and persistence in justice and love to overcome all obstacles.
When she passed the twelfth level, an "Origin Order" appeared in her palm, and the ancient door was completely opened. Yun Yao looked at the slowly opening door, tears flashing in her eyes, which was the relief after the hardships, and also a firm response to the unknown challenges in the future. She took a deep breath, took firm steps, and walked behind the door, knowing in her heart that a more difficult mission was still waiting ahead...
During Yun Yao's breakthrough, Chu Mochen was anxious outside the huge bronze door, but he could do nothing. He tried to hit the closed door again and again, but was ruthlessly bounced back every time. The pain in his body was far less than the worry in his heart. He could only pace outside the door, staring at the huge door, mumbling a prayer, hoping that Yun Yao would return safely.
At this moment, in the distant secular world, Liu Yan'er was secretly proud of herself after learning that Yun Yao had entered the ancient sect's trial. She thought that Yun Yao would be in danger this time, and that her chance to seize the power of Hongmeng had come. So, she intensified her collusion with the Blood Evil Sect and planned the next conspiracy, but she didn't know that Yun Yao was breaking through the limits step by step in the sect and growing into a more powerful existence, which was about to become her and even the entire Blood Evil Sect's nightmare...
As Yun Yao stepped into the open ancient door, a dazzling light flashed, and her figure disappeared behind the door. And this ancient door, which carried countless secrets and hopes, slowly closed behind her, as if waiting for her to open it again, continuing the legendary epic of the Hongmeng Clan and Yun Yao. A magnificent journey concerning the order of heaven and earth and the fate of all living beings has just begun...
