Chapter 343 Hell
"Senior Sister, I'll wait for you to come out." Xu Youan looked at Jiang Liqian steadily and said softly.
Jiang Liqian tapped his nose in amusement: "How did you know I would come out later than you?"
Xu Youan's ears turned red, and without saying anything, he walked into the halo door opened by Xin Suo first.
Jiang Liqian, Shui Lian'er and the others followed in.
The white light around her gradually disappeared, and Jiang Liqian was the only one left in the entire world. In front of her, thousands of wooden doors were lined up in a row, stretching endlessly, with no end in sight.
The appearance of each wooden door is exactly the same, and it looks no different from the ordinary doors in the small courtyard. You can't even feel the slightest spiritual power on the doors.
It is so natural, as if heaven and earth coexist.
It is worthy of being a sacred artifact left by our ancestors, which makes people feel awe and amazed.
Jiang Liqian thought about it and couldn't tell the difference between these wooden doors, so she planned to push one open at random and go in. But just as she was about to push the door, a strange and eerie feeling suddenly rushed up her spine. She almost instantly determined the direction of the source of this strange feeling and chased after it without hesitation.
From a distance, she saw a faint black gas enter one of the doors.
Jiang Liqian was absolutely certain that the feeling this wisp of black air gave her was the same as the strange feeling she had noticed in the Jianfeng Forbidden Land and the small secret cave yesterday.
It was very cold and eerie, with absolute deathly silence.
It doesn't look like demonic energy, but rather like...devil energy!
In her previous life, traces of magical beasts suddenly appeared all over the world overnight. They wreaked havoc everywhere, slaughtered cities and ate people. After the incident of the magic stone attacking people in this life, she believed that the sect must have investigated it.
But - why does this evil energy always target her?
Thinking back to her previous life when she was accused of colluding with the demons...
His eyes turned slightly cold, and without any hesitation, Jiang Liqian raised his hand and pushed open the door through which the evil energy had entered.
She didn't believe that there was no one behind this. What was their purpose?
If there were more clues, could the subsequent tragedy have been avoided?
On the viewing platform, Qingzhi, who had been staring at the viewing sphere, frowned slightly.
Master Zhongdao also felt something was wrong and muttered to himself: "How could she push open that door? Strange..."
Since the founding of the Tiangan Sect, there has never been a disciple who pushed that door first.
Although, it is not impossible to push that door. The rule of the Heart Comb Refining is to open a door at will according to your own will. After entering, continue to look for another door, and repeat infinitely until you can no longer bear it and take the initiative to break away from the Heart Comb.
"What's wrong? Are you worried about her?" Madam Qiu immediately sensed that Chongdao was uneasy and couldn't help but ask him in secret.
Chongdao couldn't say anything and shook his head.
There was no sign of black gas on the viewing sphere. They only saw Jiang Liqian pause in front of a door, then pushed it open and walked in.
The first door she opened was met with a raging volcano of magma, its scorching heat cascading down onto her delicate body. The magma, meandering downward, formed the shape of a massive skull, its mouth gaping ferociously as it charged towards her.
Jiang Liqian's expression remained unchanged. The spiritual energy around her body spread out, isolating all the heat. Then she raised her foot and walked straight towards the lava skull. The hem of her snow-white dress dragged across the ground where sparks were flying. She stepped into the lava river without fear and climbed up the crater that was still erupting.
She lowered her head, not caring at all that the flames had turned her into a fireball. A row of wooden doors lay quietly in the crater, beneath the boiling hot magma.
After looking around, he saw the faint black gas again.
Jiang Liqian jumped directly from the crater as if she was not afraid of the pain of the burning flames.
Even the elders and peak masters who were sitting on the viewing platform and watching from the sidelines couldn't help but tremble with fear. Some timid disciples and guests even covered their eyes and cried out.
On the other hand, Jiang Liqian herself was very calm, so calm that it seemed as if she was not the one jumping into the volcanic lava.
The state of mind she was in seemed both real and fake. To others, her calmness was beyond the ordinary.
But it’s not Jiang Liqian’s fault that she is too calm. She has even passed through the Demonic Abyss, so the volcano is really not worth mentioning.
Push open the second door, and behind it are endless icebergs.
As soon as her body fell in, her feet froze to the ice below.
Jiang Liqian used her spiritual power to shatter the ice under her feet and walked forward. Every time her shoes touched the ice, they would freeze. She kept using her spiritual power to shatter them.
As her spiritual energy was consumed, her body became colder and colder, and even frost formed on her eyebrows.
As if the roof was leaking and it was raining all night, a strong wind suddenly blew between the sky and the earth, and countless snowflakes wrapped in ice particles fell down with a crackling sound.
The strong wind blew up the snow, and a blizzard that was strong enough to engulf the entire mountain hit the thin girl in white.
Jiang Liqian's eyes were clear and firm. Even in the bitter cold of winter, with strong winds and snow, she did not stop for a moment.
Everyone in the square couldn't help but focus their attention on her.
Unlike others, she is a test that is enough to destroy people's will from the first door.
A world of ice and fire, wind, frost, thunder, lightning and rain, each one more cruel than the last.
It was as if she had not gone to temper her mind, but rather entered a torturous hell, each level more terrifying than the last.
Compared to other people, there were even those who didn't eat properly and were pulled by their mothers' ears; those who teased cats and dogs and were chased away by three calamities; those who refused to practice and were beaten by their fathers...
A valley of terror, a joy for the whole family.
Qingzhi, who was sitting in the main seat, had a look in his eyes that became increasingly cold, gradually covered with a layer of frost.
Master Chongdao's palms were sweating. He told himself again and again that this was all coincidence. There were so many doors, it was impossible for him to hit all of them by chance. This was simply impossible.
Besides, there is a seal on the last door!
It's okay, it's okay...
Madam Qiu sensed his uneasiness and subconsciously reached out and gently placed her hand over his, interlocking her fingers with his, just like every time before, silently giving him strength.
Zhongdao unconsciously held her hand tightly, but immediately let go after realizing what was happening.
Noticing the other person's trembling fingertips, his breathing slowed down, and he took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the stains on her fingers.
Move carefully.
And restrained alienation.
It was as if he didn't want her to be contaminated by dust, and it was also as if he didn't want her to have any entanglement with him.
Madam Qiu endured it again and again, but finally she couldn't bear it anymore. She shook off his handkerchief, pulled back her hand, and suddenly stood up and left.
Master Chongdao looked at her departing back, opened his mouth, and countless emotions flashed through his eyes, eventually turning into a silent bitter smile.
