Repugnant Gateway 3

by Zhi Bai

  After passing through the wooden bridge, they walked forward for about a few hundred meters, and a cave entrance appeared in front of them. Only when An Zheng and Chen Shaobai stood at the entrance of the cave entrance did he realize that the inside of the cave entrance was filled with cave entrances.

  "What is this place?"

  "A place of cultivation?"

  "That's it?"

  "That's it."

  "Didn't you say that it was dangerous?"

  An Zheng asked.

  Chen Shaobai suddenly pushed on An Zheng's back. "You'll know when you get in there that it's not dangerous anymore."

  An Zheng was pushed into one of the holes, and felt as if he had fallen into an abyss. His body kept falling straight down, deep and deep. Pa!! An Zheng's body heavily smashed onto the ground. Even with his reaction and cultivation level, he was unable to adjust his own body. The fall took more than a minute. Even an ordinary person would be able to adjust their body to keep from falling flat on the ground as long as they weren't frightened. But no matter how An Zheng tried, he couldn't control his body as he fell.

  After falling down for so long, An Zheng painfully moaned for a long time before he managed to recover. He looked up and saw a black dot rapidly falling.

  An Zheng dodged to the side, causing Chen Shaobai to fall flat on the ground. Originally, An Zheng had slapped a human-shaped hole into the ground. The area where Chen Shaobai had landed completely overlapped, causing the hole to sink even deeper, with the back of his head being level with the ground.

  Chen Shaobai struggled to stand up: "You … "Damn, why didn't you catch me?"

  An Zheng: "My grandpa said that you pushed and I didn't f * cking tell me. Let me fall down first, then you hit me again. It's really sinister."

  Chen Shaobai: "Sigh … If only he had jumped down earlier. "

  As they were speaking, they saw the stone essence spirit rapidly fall down from above. The two of them hastily dodged to the side. However, just as the stone essence spirit was about to reach the ground, it pressed down with its hands and a powerful force appeared, directly blasting a large crater in the ground. The rebounding force caused him to float less than half a meter away from the ground. Then, he looked at Chen Shaobai and An Zheng with disdain, as if he was very dissatisfied with their cultivations.

  Chen Shaobai laughed awkwardly: "Humans are not as good as monkeys."

  The Stone Essence was enraged, but only glared at him.

  Chen Shaobai patted the dirt on his body, and looked around. It looked like an oasis in a desert. Aside from the fact that the ground they landed on was solid, the surroundings were filled with water … This area only had a radius of three to four meters. As long as one jumped off at an angle, they would fall into the water, so they wouldn't fall so miserably. An Zheng looked at the surroundings and sighed: "The person who designed this place is really mischievous …"

  An Zheng and Chen Shaobai stepped onto the water surface and walked forward. The Stone Essence was sitting cross-legged, yet it was floating in the air and following them. As the two talked, the stone essence spirit floated about a meter high in the air, neither saying anything nor opening its eyes. But no matter which way An Zheng and the others went, he could still follow them.

  After exiting the lake, he saw an endless desert, without a single end in sight. An Zheng had been to the Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Regions before, so he was familiar with this environment.

  After walking for a good two hours, he saw buildings in the distance. The two quickened their pace, but the stone essence continued to drift along. As the saying goes, one can only look at the mountain and see a dead horse. The building was not far away, yet it took them a full two hours to reach it. The environment of this place was very special. No matter how the two of them tried to think of a way, they couldn't use the Cultivation Power, and could only walk forward step by step. As for the Stone Spirit, it seemed to be tired from sitting so it decided to just lie down. A transparent circle appeared on the outside of his body. He lay on his back with his hands behind his head, looking extremely comfortable.

  "This monkey is quite beautiful."

  Chen Shaobai sighed.

  An Zheng shook his head and laughed bitterly as he poured sand out of his shoes. After this point, even his body had become that of an ordinary person. He took off his socks and looked at them. The soles of his feet were already blistered from the wear. With his current cultivation level, he would be fine even if he were to walk on the edge of a blade. Everything here seemed so strange, the cultivator losing his strength.

  Finally arriving at a place not too far away from the building, An Zheng saw half a stone tablet buried in the sand. He used his hand to dig out the sand. There were four words carved on the stone monument … All beings are equal.

  Chen Shaobai looked at the four words, then looked at the stone essence stones that were floating as he slept. He then spat at the stone tablet, and after taking a few steps forward, he felt that it was not enough, so he turned around and looked at the stone tablet. "Pei pei pei pei pei!"

  At this time, the Stone Essence suddenly sat up. Seeing the words on the stone tablet, a very complex feeling flashed through his eyes. There was anger and disgust in those eyes, and he didn't know why.

  The building was huge, beyond imagination. The main hall was at least a hundred meters tall, and it was unknown how it was built. However, it was incomplete, as if no one had come for thousands of years. An Zheng and Chen Shaobai walked into the great hall and turned back to look. The stone spirit was no longer floating around, but looked around warily instead.

  There were stone statues on both sides of the hall. They were mottled and incomplete, but one could still make out that they were Empyreans. According to the legends of the Buddhist Sect, there were nineteen Empyreans who were the disciples of the Buddha. There were nine stone statues on either side of him. In front of him, next to an enormous black jade lotus throne, stood a stone statue. Unlike the other statues, the statue that stood next to the Dark Jade Lotus was not ferocious at all, and it was a woman. He looked kind and dignified, his face not considered delicate and pretty, but he had an indescribable sense of beauty.

  Seeing these stone statues, the stone essence spirit's expression became even more complex.

  "Monkey, you've been here before?"

  Chen Shaobai asked, then left, not expecting the stone essence to speak.

  "I …"

  The voice that appeared behind Chen Shaobai startled him. He turned around and saw the stone spirit saying seriously, "I … "It's not a monkey. Call me Saint Lord."

  Chen Shaobai took a step back: "You can speak? "You scared me to death …"

  The stone spirit no longer paid any attention to him. It continued to observe those stone statues one by one, the emotions in its eyes becoming more and more complicated. When he arrived in front of the black jade throne, he stopped and looked first at the female statue beside the throne and then at the throne, "Back then... Why did you lie to me? "

  He suddenly waved his hand and a black metal rod materialized in his palm. He leapt high into the air and smashed towards the black jade throne. "Why are you lying to me!"

  BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

  An enormous wave of air appeared and directly blasted both An Zheng and his backwards. All the sand in the hall was sent flying, causing the sky to be filled with yellow sand.

  An Zheng coughed as he stood up. When the yellow sand completely settled, he finally saw the Stone Spirit standing in the hall with its back facing him. His hand, which held the iron rod, was shaking too, and it seemed impossible to calm down. But with that one swing of his staff, the black jade throne actually didn't suffer any damage. On the contrary, An Zheng saw that the stone spirit's hand that was holding the iron rod seemed to have been shaken to the point of splitting apart, fresh red blood dripping down drop by drop.

  "Why?"

  An Zheng heard that th
e stone spirit was still talking to himself. "Why … You want to lie to me? "

  Chapter 254 - So Ugly!

  When that stone monkey smashed down, it scared An Zheng and Chen Shaobai silly. They didn't know where this place was. They only saw the lonely and desolate back of the Stone Monkey and heard the muttering to himself … Why did you lie to me?

  In this place, he and Chen Shaobai could not use the Cultivation Power, they were just like normal people. Fortunately, the little guy's strength seemed to have been suppressed quite a bit, so he seemed to be rather savage. However, at least he didn't injure two people. Chen Shaobai crawled up from the sand, spit the sand in his mouth while saying in a slightly deep tone: "Looks like a monkey with a story."

  Shi Hou'er suddenly turned around, and Chen Shaobai immediately shut his mouth. It would be alright if he was outside, but he was definitely not a match for Shi Monkey here.

  Shi Hou'er turned around and pointed at the Dark Jade Lotus throne with the iron rod. "Back then, why did you intentionally help that fake when you talked about being the head of justice?"

  He turned his iron rod around and pointed it at the female sculpture. "Back then, you said that as long as I was sincere, you would wash away the malicious energy that had accumulated in my body for ten thousand years. But you used the ruthless aura on me to create a fake me … Why? Tell me why! It wanted to kill me, but not only did you not stop it, you even joined hands to suppress my cultivation. I can only return to the stone embryo … Not to mention ten thousand years, even if another ten thousand years had passed, I would still not have forgotten. "

  went over and pulled him: "It's just a stone statue, what's the use of hitting it?"

  Shi Hou was stupefied for a moment. It seemed as if his hand had lost all of its strength in an instant, and the iron rod dropped onto the ground with a pa da sound.

  "F * ck …"

  Chen Shaobai who was just walking over held his feet and squatted down.

  Shi Hou'er sat dejectedly on the ground, and two streams of tears unexpectedly flowed down from her red eyes.

  An Zheng: "Hate liars?"

  Shi Hou'er looked at An Zheng, and then nodded.

  "I hate it too."

  An Zheng sat down next to Shi Hou and thought about how he had also been tricked out of Ming Fa Si, and out of Da Xi. Then, he was almost killed by someone he trusted. Although he did not know much about the past of this Stone Monkey, An Zheng could understand its anger and sorrow.

  "So you're useless."

  An Zheng patted Shi Hou'er's shoulder, "Can you beat people who lied to you?"

  Shi Hou'er thought for a while, then shook his head: "I couldn't beat him ten thousand years ago, but ten thousand years later, I still can't beat him."

  An Zheng said: "I also can't beat the person who lied to me, the person who lied to me almost got rid of me as well. It seems that I am even closer to death than you, because I truly experienced death … I can't beat the person who lied to me right now, so I came here. The difference between you and me is that if I want to become strong, I still have to protect the people I care about. And you don't have anyone who wants to protect you, someone who's been strengthening to protect you for so long. If one day you meet the person who lied to you again, they will still be able to easily humiliate you … What can you do? "

  Shi Hou was stupefied. After being silent for a while, he nodded.

  An Zheng helped Chen Shaobai up, and lowered his head to look at Chen Shaobai's feet: "All of them are swollen …."

  Chen Shaobai: "You just remembered to help me up?!"

  An Zheng released his hand, "I said thank you."

  Chen Shaobai sat on the floor and stared at An Zheng. Then he sighed: "Relying on yourself is better than relying on others."

  He reached out to grab the iron rod for a crutch and used it to prop himself up, but the grip did not budge. After a long victory, Chen Shaobai tried to lift the iron rod by force. After trying three times, the iron rod still hadn't moved, "How can it be this heavy?"

  Shi Hou'er looked at Chen Shaobai with contempt, and then, he stretched out his hand to grab at the air. That metal rod flew back into Shi Hou's hands. He looked at Chen Shaobai and said seriously: "I am not a monkey, I am a stone monkey. My name is not Monkey Child, I am Qi Tian. "Please remember, I'm not a monkey, Stone Monkey!"

  Chen Shaobai looked at An Zheng for help, then reached out his hand towards An Zheng: "I'm heavily injured, quickly help me to the brothel …"

  An Zheng rolled his eyes and helped him up.

  "Qi Tian, no matter if you are a monkey or not, you only need to have a name."

  "Do you know where this is?"

  "I don't know."

  "This is the Lei Chi Temple."

  "What kind of place is the Lei Chi Temple? How do you know?"

  "I said yes."

  Qi Tian looked around, then walked behind the Dark Jade Lotus Seat: "However, this place is obviously not the real Thunder Lake Temple, it is an imitation. If I remember correctly, there should be a lightning pool behind it. To imitate the temple, one did not even need to think to know the reason. There are secret realms in this world that can help people cultivate. However, the number of true secret realms could be counted on one hand, and they were all occupied by supreme experts. The secret realms that your world of cultivators has been discovered are mostly fake. It can't all be fake, because it's completely copied, but it's just not as useful as the real secret realms. "

  An Zheng supported Chen Shaobai as they walked towards the back. As soon as they walked out of the great hall, they discovered that there was indeed a large pond in the backyard, which was several hundred meters long. The interior was empty. It seemed to be constructed from the same material as the Dark Jade Lotus. It was dark and gave off a deep black light.

  "This is the lightning pool."

  Qi Tian said: "The real Lei Chi Monastery's one is ten times bigger than this."

  An Zheng asked: "What's the effect of the lightning pool?"

  "Tempering the fleshly body."

  Chen Shaobai said: "As long as you reach the Refinement Realm, you will be able to rely on cultivation to temper your body. There is nothing in this pool, not even water, how can you temper it?"

  Qi Tian laughed coldly: "The initial stage of your cultivators, is also called tempering the body? If I am not wrong, you have already reached the Captive Stage and you are already at the ninth stage of the Sumeru Stage. But what difference is there between your physical bodies and that of an ordinary person's? The sand can also grind out blisters on the bottom of my feet. After being smashed by my steel rod, my bones almost shatter … Weak to the point of being a complete mess. The body tempering you all are talking about is just child's play. "

  Chen Shaobai said, "Your background is really amazing."

  Qi Tian said: "My injuries have not healed yet, so I have to pretend to be pitiful in front of your father, but do you think that just because I don't dare to hit you? Back then when I was at my peak, even ten of your fathers weren't my match. "

  Chen Shaobai: "Little one! No! "Little Monkey!"

  Qi Tian ignored him and pointed to the pond. "Go in."

  "Why?"

  Qi Tian did not care about it anymore, as he grabbed An Zheng and Chen Shaobai with one hand and threw them in. The two of them were just like ordinary people who could not even fight back and were thrown inside. Just as An Zheng was about to stand up, he suddenly felt an electric current appear from the pool and instantly run through his entire body. Just as he fell down, and just as his body came into contact with the bottom of the pool, an electric current appeared at the bottom of the pool and directly sent An Zheng flying.

  He flew over, and Chen Shaobai flew over. The two of them were sent flying as soon as they hit the ground. When they hit the ground, they were sent flying like a ball. In just a short moment, both their clothes were charred. Not only their clothes, but their skin was also charred black by the electricity. No matter how
hard they tried to stop, they were completely out of control. As long as one came into contact with the pool, they would be electrocuted and be continuously sent flying up and down.

  "Weak!"

  Qi Tian, who was standing beside the lightning pool snorted coldly, "This is only an imitation lightning pool. If it really was a lightning pool, all of you would have been burnt to ashes just by going in. I really don't know where you get the courage to enter the secret realm to cultivate with such a weak cultivation. With your strength, you can only barely trigger this lightning pool. It was called Lightning Pond — Gravity... The power of the lightning pool had a total of nine layers. You all have some experience with the first stage, but if you want to trigger the second stage of gravity, I'm afraid you will need another ten years to do so. "

  An Zheng had almost fainted from the lightning, as he was barely able to speak while he was in the air: "So called... Is this how lightning strikes one's body when tempering the body? "

  With a 'swish', he flew up again.

  Chen Shaobai continued to ask for him in midair: "What's the use of it?"

  Sizzle, Chen Shaobai landed on the ground and was sent flying again.

  Qi Tian said: "A true Ranker does not need to use the Cultivation Power, just their body can become a saint. I didn't expect that after so many years, you cultivators would have fallen to such a state. Even if it's your father, he isn't a powerful expert in my eyes. Ten thousand years later, there isn't even a single saint in this world … "It's chilling."

  Chen Shaobai flew up: "If you have the ability, say it in front of him."

  Sssii! *

  An Zheng flew up: "When …"

  Sssii! *

  Chen Shaobai flew up: "Can we stop?"

  Qi Tian said with a disappointed look, "How long has it been since you can't take it anymore? I truly am looked down upon. When I entered the lightning pool back then, I felt as comfortable as bathing in a hot spring. "
