Five Immortals Gate

In the pitch-black passage, Li Yan was "crawling" forward little by little in a strange posture, with one hand raised above his head and the other hand hanging down to his leg.

Li Yan didn't dare to retreat, nor could he do it. The entrance he had just entered seemed to be blocked.

Li Yan kicked back a few times before, and the feeling from behind was just like the wall beside him, which was motionless at all.

He could still move back and forth in the passage after crawling forward, but he would definitely not do that.

In the pitch-black and hot passage, it seemed like there was no end to moving forward. A person was crawling slowly, and the space around him where he couldn't move freely brought psychological depression and eternal loneliness.

It's not that Li Yan didn't want to use his spiritual power and move forward quickly. It would take a lot of physical strength to move forward a little distance here. He couldn't waste spiritual power without knowing the specific situation ahead.

In a dark and narrow space, a person will slowly lose the sense of time. You don't know how long it has been. Maybe it's just one day, but you think it's many days and nights.

In the end, even if it is just a moment, it will become as long as decades in your heart, so helpless and tormented.

In this environment, the best thing to do is to calm yourself down and slowly seek a way out.

Unfortunately, the narrow dark passage where Li Yan is will not let you calm down at all, because it has a temperature that can melt mortals in an instant.

The suffocating heat continues to come from the passage. Even if the immortal cultivators resist, they will become more and more anxious and oppressed because of the constant consumption of spiritual power and physical strength.

Here, you can't see a trace of light, hear no sound from the outside world, only your heavy breathing, and every breath of turbid air like fire that accompanies you.

Li Yan has been counting his heartbeats silently. He needs to roughly calculate how long he has been here.

Two hours have passed, and he has crawled forward less than 20 feet, which is not much faster than a snail.

The black robe on his body was wet and dry, dry and wet again. Li Yan had to stop occasionally and perform the "Yunyu Jutsu" so that he could catch some water drops in his mouth, but this way, his spiritual power was consumed faster.

Although the dark passage tightly imprisoned his body, fortunately, it did not isolate the spiritual energy, so the immortal arts could still be performed.

Li Yan also wanted to try to perform the "Earth Spike Jutsu" on the wall of the passage, and then use the spiritual power to turn into a long rope to wrap around the protruding earth spikes in front, and use the force to pull himself forward quickly.

But unfortunately, even with his current cultivation, after the spell was cast, except for a rumbling sound, not even a small hole could be left on the wall of the passage.

The Bright Fire Kirin looked at the black passage in front of him in disbelief. This was the fifteenth time it had tried to enter in three days, but each time it was directly pushed away by an irresistible repulsive force.

\u003c/di\u003e

"It's been three days, why hasn't that kid died yet? This is unreasonable!" The Bright Fire Kirin was a little anxious and crazy.

There are two passages behind the red gate. Although the pitch-black passage will not cause any attack after entering.

But anyone who can come out of the black passage alive would rather enter the golden passage and fight continuously than enter the pitch-black passage for the second time. The most terrible thing is that it leaves an eternal fear experience for the living.

The black passage makes you have no hope of survival. You have lost the cultivation of qi and mind in decades or even hundreds of years. It will only make you despair in helplessness and lose your life in despair.

Although the constant fighting in the golden passage will make people feel extremely tired and weak, there will always be intermittent rest. The most important thing is that there is a wide space, so that the cultivator knows in his heart that he is still alive, his body is free, and his senses are free.

The Bright Fire Kirin is the gate guarding here. It can easily enter the two passages. There is no special reason. It is that the original refiner allowed it to enter.

But there are still special circumstances. Only one living body can enter the passage at a time. As long as he is not dead, even the Bright Fire Kirin cannot enter.

Therefore, there are countless "fire eyes" on the mountain of "Huoyan Palace" for many people to enter at the same time.

"Damn human boy, I want to see how long you can hold on. When the elixir on you is used up, see if you have any way to survive." The Bright Fire Kirin looked at the dark passage and thought bitterly in his heart.

In its opinion, Li Yan who entered the passage must be the core disciple of that big sect, otherwise why could he come here with such a low cultivation level.

Of course, he has a protective magic weapon like the pale yellow folding fan. Any magic weapon needs to consume spiritual power, not to mention that the passage is not suitable for cultivation and recovery, so he can only use elixir to replenish spiritual power.

If you want to break through here, the price is life. After all, a cultivator's storage bag is limited, and it must not be filled with only elixir.

…………

Li Yan felt abnormally uncomfortable. He has maintained this strange posture for five days. The two arms up and down have limited bending arc. He can only rely on bending his legs slightly and moving forward a little bit.

The speed was extremely slow, and he had to stop to rest frequently. This seemingly easy movement of pushing off the ground to move forward was actually extremely exhausting.

In the past five days, he estimated that he might not crawl more than 500 feet. At first, Li Yan was still thinking about his mistakes and how to get out. Various thoughts came to him.

He did not regret his choice, nor did he hate the Bright Fire Kirin too much. He was able to live to this day because he was careful.

Although he was sometimes too careful,

Li Yan did not think he was a god. He was a human after all. People would make mistakes. It was impossible that he was the only smart one in the world and everyone else was stupid.

He learned a lesson from his mistakes. As long as he did not lose his life immediately, there was a chance to remedy everything.

In his consciousness, there was still no end in front of him. He could hear his own clear breathing in his ears. In the intervals between breathing, Li Yan could also hear his "booming" heartbeat, which was so loud that it even felt a little deafening.

Of course, all this was a feeling. The heartbeat could be heard, but it was not as loud as this. It was just that there was no day or night here, and the high temperature and sultry heat never stopped. In addition to listening to his heartbeat and breathing while moving forward a little bit, nothing else happened.

At this time, if someone could use great magical powers to cut open the passage, looking from above, Li Yan was lying in a coffin, and then trying to move out of the coffin bit by bit.

Li Yan felt that he was lucky to be practicing the Guishui Sutra. Under the cycle of the five elements, he could still use it in this way, so that he would not be exhausted of spiritual power too early.

Li Yan's forward dawdling movements had become mechanical and numb. In the darkness, he repeated a simple and boring single movement, and his thinking was easily stagnant.

And the stagnation of thinking means that he will slowly lose consciousness. Li Yan has had hallucinations several times. Sometimes he doesn't know whether he is crawling or has stopped.

Only when he realizes this, his mind will suddenly wake up and know what state he is in.

But then he will slowly lose consciousness in the boring crawling, and many confused and complicated thoughts and strange ideas will surge into his mind, and even the thoughts of the last moment and the thoughts of the next moment have no connection at all.

Sometimes he would wonder how long the road ahead would be, and whether something unexpected would happen here. Before he could imagine what would happen, his parents might appear at the table eating and chatting.

And when he wanted to take a closer look at what his parents were talking about, the scene in Qingshanai City appeared before his eyes again. In the swaying of the wine shop, why did Li Yu stick his head out of the building again...

Daqingshan, Wuliang Sect, Senior Brother, Seventh Senior Brother, Zhao Min, Gong Chenying..., and even Master Tianbei in the back mountain of Xiaozhu Peak..., it was a mess, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Suddenly, Li Yan was startled, and his eyes returned to the endless darkness. This was his brief recovery of consciousness. He was still crawling slowly... Soon, he would fall into confusion again.

Just like this, Li Yan gradually lost the concept of time, not knowing the sun and moon, not knowing the length of time, just going back and forth between confusion and clarity, and his mind began to fall into a vague state, and finally forgot where he was and why he came here in part of the time period.

His heart became more and more agitated, and he kept the same posture for a long time, and his body was extremely uncomfortable. Sometimes he even had the terrible idea of ​​cutting off his arms to make his body freer.

…………

The bright fire unicorn outside also gradually fell into a frenzy. It had been waiting outside for twenty days.

Now every half an hour, it would crash into the black passage, and then it would be thrown back high, falling to the ground outside the red gate, and then climb up again with red eyes.

After the red flame was refined by it, what made the bright fire unicorn excited was that its soul power had improved a little, which caught up with the previous months of hard training.

The soul and consciousness are equally difficult to cultivate, and the natural treasures that can improve them are extremely rare. Even if there are, they are usually only possessed by cultivators with great supernatural powers.

This kind of stimulation is huge, and the Bright Fire Kirin is even more eager to let Li Yan die immediately. Now it has regretted it. It should have killed that kid regardless of everything at the beginning, instead of suffering like this now.

…………

Li Yan didn't know that everything he had experienced was the reason why many fake pill cultivators came here. To be promoted to the fake pill realm, most of the spiritual power condensation has reached the requirements of forming a pill. What they lack is the understanding of the state of mind and the breakthrough between life and death.

The two passages in the "Huoyan Palace" have these two functions. The dark passages temper the cultivator's state of mind and rebirth in the midst of the demons in the heart. This is similar to the effect of "Wuchen Pill".

It's just that this kind of tempering is more overbearing and more thorough. You won't die after taking the "Dustless Pill", but it's extremely dangerous in the black passage of the "Fire Palace". The destruction of the Tao and the death of the body are the lightest. Struggling in pain and struggling to survive is the psychological shadow of a lifetime.

Monk Yiming finally chose to enter here after swallowing the "Dustless Pill" several times without success.

There is endless fighting in the golden passage. You can't stay where you are. Even if you kill all the fierce souls nearby, more fierce souls will be regenerated soon. What the monk has to do is to keep moving forward and keep fighting until you finish the golden passage.

…………

In the eternally silent world, depression and darkness always lingered around Li Yan. Finally one day, Li Yan stopped moving forward, and his consciousness became chaotic. Anyone who lives in the darkness for an unknown number of days will eventually have his psychological state completely destroyed. Losing balance, Li Yan is a human being, and he is no exception.

Listening to his soft and heavy breathing in the darkness, unable to feel whether his arms were still feeling, Li Yan's eyes suddenly no longer seemed dark.

Pieces of crystal snowflakes bloomed in the sky, making the world bright. Among the snowflakes, many familiar faces suddenly appeared far and near. They seemed to be saying something to themselves. Their expressions ranged from anxious to helpless, but Li Yan couldn't hear clearly, there was only a hum.

Suddenly, Li Yan had a moment of clarity. This was a dream, as messy as the dreams he had had many times during this period, but this time the dream was more real and very close.
