#2825 - Inside the Asgard

The Dao patterns on the Bronze Gate…

Strictly speaking, they should be rune Dao runes.

It's just a disguise evolved through rune Dao methods, making them look like Dao patterns, but they are not.

Others may not be able to see it, but it can't deceive Jun Wuxie's discerning eyes.

Those forbidden runes and the killing array runes arranged underground near the Immortal Palace are clearly from the same person.

In other words, the restrictions that the disciples of various Dao lineages are currently obliterating were actually left by that mastermind behind the scenes.

This involves several questions.

First, the reason why the mastermind behind the scenes did this is definitely not superfluous.

Most likely, it's because the original restrictions on the Bronze Gate were too strong. He was worried that these inner disciples wouldn't be able to break them, and he couldn't determine whether the true inheritor disciples of the various Dao lineages would forcibly intervene.

Therefore, he replaced the original restrictions on the Bronze Gate with his own rune Dao restrictions.

This extends to another point, which is that the mastermind behind the scenes is very familiar with the trial rules of the various Dao lineages this time.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have worried about whether the true inheritor disciples would break the gate.

In order to ensure complete success, he used this method.

Second, how did the mastermind behind the scenes make the original restrictions on the Bronze Gate dormant?

This can't help but make people associate it with the Immortal Palace.

There must be some connection between the mastermind behind the scenes and the Immortal Palace, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do this.

Is he a descendant of the Immortal Palace Lord, or has he been recognized by the Immortal Palace and become its inheritor?

The former is fine, but if it's the latter, it would be troublesome.

However, what reassures Jun Wuxie is that since the mastermind behind the scenes replaced the original restrictions of the Immortal Palace's Bronze Gate with his own restrictions, it also illustrates a problem.

That is, even if he is the inheritor of the Immortal Palace, he cannot completely control the Immortal Palace.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to set up restrictions superfluously. He could have completely controlled the original restrictions of the Bronze Gate, causing them to deliberately become dormant during the bombardment, letting people in.

He didn't do this, not because he didn't want to, but because he obviously couldn't.

Thus, it can be basically determined that he cannot use the various remaining methods inside the Immortal Palace, and cannot actively use the power of the Immortal Palace Lord.

Jun Wuxie is becoming more and more curious about the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Who exactly is this person?

He knows everything about the trial of the various Dao lineages this time, even knowing that the true inheritor disciples, who are not allowed to accompany them by the higher-ups of the various Dao lineages, cannot intervene.

In that case, he is either from a certain Dao lineage among the four major Dao lineages, or there is a traitor in a certain Dao lineage who colluded with the mastermind behind the scenes and informed him of this information.

"The restrictions have been obliterated!"

"They've finally disappeared!"

…

Excited voices came from some inner disciples in front of the Bronze Gate.

At this time, the last wisp of Dao pattern on the Bronze Gate also dimmed down, and then lost all its light.

"Try it!"

An inner disciple took a deep breath, condensed two immortal Dao power palms, stuck them on the Bronze Gate from a distance, and then pushed it hard.

Rumble!

The Bronze Gate moved, slowly opening amidst the roaring sound with a hint of metallic tone.

At that moment, it was as if a time and space, an era, had been opened!

The moment the Bronze Gate opened a gap, a rich aura of years surged in like a tide.

Everyone's minds were greatly shaken, as if they were enduring the scouring of time, seeing the light and shadow passing quickly on both sides of their bodies, like walking against the years in the long river of time, heading towards that distant era that had passed away.

Everyone was a little lost.

At this moment, in the aura of years, they only felt as if they had transformed into witnesses of history, witnessing the changes of the vicissitudes of life.

Anyone who was scoured by the aura of years had a different expression than usual at this time.

Their expressions and eyes had obvious vicissitudes, even the few true inheritor disciples were the same.

It wasn't until the Bronze Gate was completely opened that everyone gradually came back to their senses.

"So this is the sense of precipitation of time, the sense of thickness of the years…"

Someone couldn't help but sigh and sigh.

There was an unspeakable feeling in their hearts, and even their state of mind had undergone some subtle changes.

"We were only scoured by the aura of years, and we already have such feelings.

What kind of state of mind do those who have lived for a long time have?

Some things, without experiencing them, cannot be empathized with at all.

But today, I seem to understand something."

Many of the disciples have changed compared to before.

They looked much calmer than before, as if they had become more mature in a short moment.

"This feeling… it's like experiencing a period of time…

Just the aura of the opening of the Immortal Palace Gate has had such an impact on our state of mind.

What realm was the Immortal Palace Lord in back then?"

They were very clear that the changes in their state of mind were not just because of the aura of years.

In this life, they have felt the aura of years many times, but it cannot make them feel like they do at this moment.

The aura of years in this Immortal Palace contains the Dao rhythm of the Immortal Palace Lord, which has such an effect.

Standing outside the Immortal Palace and looking inside, inside the wide gate, both sides are a vast expanse of white light.

Because the light is too strong, nothing can be seen clearly. Only a flat and wide road in the middle can be seen leading to the depths of the Immortal Palace.

The road is paved with bluestone, very flat, with some patterns or patterns engraved on the bluestone, very ancient.

The inner disciples of the various Dao lineages stared blankly at the scene inside the gate.

Afterwards, they turned around and looked at their respective sect's true inheritor senior brothers and sisters.

"You must remember to be careful and cautious when you get inside.

Don't touch the things inside randomly. Even if you encounter an opportunity left by the Immortal Palace Lord, you must carefully confirm that there is no danger before you touch it.

Go, enter the Immortal Palace.

We will follow you closely behind to protect your safety as much as possible.

But you must not lose your vigilance because of this.

After all, even we have to be careful in this Immortal Palace."

"Yes!"

The disciples of the various Dao lineages responded one after another, and then walked towards the Bronze Gate, entering the Immortal Palace one after another.

After everyone entered the Immortal Palace, the several true inheritors also followed in.

In a short moment, there were no figures near the Immortal Palace.

Jun Wuxie came out of his hiding place, but he did not reveal his figure. He still hid with the Minor Void Art, silently passing through the Bronze Gate.

When he got inside, the scene he saw was very different from what he saw outside before.

Under his feet was the bluestone road he saw when looking in from the outside.

The road was very wide.

The difference was that there were many mottled blood stains on the ground, not knowing how long they had existed.

There were many corpses lying flat or sideways on the ground.

There were fewer in the middle of the road and more on both sides of the road.

Especially under the stone sculptures or trees on both sides of the road.

Those corpses retained intact bodies, only their bodies were slightly shriveled.

Having died for countless ages, under the influence of the field in this Immortal Palace, the corpses had become somewhat blackened, their flesh and blood had shriveled down, looking only a little better than dried corpses.

Jun Wuxie observed his surroundings.

Undoubtedly, a fierce battle had taken place inside the Immortal Palace, and many people had died.

This was very different from what everyone imagined before the Bronze Gate opened.

They originally thought that the Immortal Palace must be a pure land of immortals, with opportunities and good fortune left by the Immortal Palace Lord.

But they didn't expect that what they saw when they came in was such a scene.

"Why do I feel something is not quite right!"

Seeing so many corpses, as well as the battle marks left on the ground and the various buildings in sight, the disciples of the various Dao lineages faintly felt a trace of unease in their hearts.

This Immortal Palace has its own small world. It is not just the Immortal Palace as seen from the outside. The internal space is very wide.
