Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 966 - 865: Thunder Sect Secret Hall

Duan Gujin, like the other Martial Artists, couldn't comprehend what the iron gate in front of them was all about.He began examining the runes nearby, and after a moment, a possibility suddenly struck him.

"Earlier, we were just trying to find mechanisms around here, but perhaps the mechanism is within these runes!"

He used Divine Sense to inspect the runes, but after a while, he realized the runes were meaningless.

Some Martial Artists noticed Duan Gujin was inspecting the runes and immediately came to a realization.

"The problem must lie within those runes; otherwise, these strange runes wouldn't be here."

Everyone focused their attention on the runes.

Soon, they saw that the stone walls with runes were anything but ordinary, extremely hard, and even trying to pierce them with their Dark Weapons was impossible.

"Why are these stones so hard!"

Many Martial Artists used Divine Sense to investigate, trying to find what was different about these stones.

Yet, after searching for a good while, they couldn't find any clues.

Eventually, a Martial Artist suggested, "Everyone, why don't we try pushing the stone walls?"

"Alright!"

Many Martial Artists responded promptly, frustrated that their Divine Sense couldn't penetrate the stone walls, which were so hard.

The reminder made everyone feel the necessity to try pushing the walls to see if it might work.

Collectively, they exerted force, and after a while, they discovered the ground indeed started to shift slightly.

Everyone was overjoyed, immediately using more force, soon pushing the stone wall half a meter forward.

"Haha, this is wonderful!"

Thrilled, they soon realized no matter how much force they applied, they couldn't push the stone wall any further and decided to stop.

Promptly, they heard a loud clattering sound surrounding them.

Then, the ground began to tremble violently.

People steadied themselves, nervously looking around.

Eventually, they saw the iron gate ahead slowly recede into the ground.

Upon seeing this, they let out a sigh of relief.

"It turns out the iron gate was supposed to recede underground, no wonder we couldn't push or pull it open no matter our efforts!"

Previously, everyone tried various Dark Weapons and Skills against the iron gate, only to find it incredibly sturdy and indestructible.

No one knew what material the gate was made of; their attempts to push or shatter it proved futile.

Seeing the gate finally subside, they all dashed inside.

They worried if they were too slow, the treasures inside might be snatched by other Martial Artists.

Using Divine Sense to scout ahead, Duan Gujin found the stone walls were evidently man-made, very smooth, laden with many runes.

They couldn't help but think that these runes, like the ones they've seen, possibly had to be pushed in.

Thus, they attempted to push the stone walls.

But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't budge the walls.

So, they continued moving forward.

Although all were eager to be the first to seize the treasures inside, they were unaware if there were any mechanisms within the chamber.

If mechanisms existed, the first one rushing in would be the first to fall victim.

Succeeding in claiming treasures was alluring, but none wanted to be the first casualty.

Moments later, they reached the exterior of a Space Crystal Wall.

After breaching the Space Crystal Wall, an eerie scene emerged before them.

In front was a massive palace, appearing ancient.

They were overjoyed, speculating the palace might contain numerous treasures.

Though eager to dash inside, they extended their Divine Sense to probe their surroundings.

Almost immediately, they detected many corpses scattered nearby.

The sight of so many alarming corpses made everyone gasp.

"This place is very dangerous!"

The same thought crossed their minds.

Though every Martial Artist present wished to claim treasures within the Treasure Hall, nobody wanted to rush and become a victim.

They exchanged glances, now showing remarkable unity.

"Let's not act recklessly; this place is dangerous. Once we spot the treasures, we should let the sect's elder decide their allocation. None of us should snatch them. Recall, our task is to find the Thunder Sect Ruins promptly! What if the Academy's elder wants to use this opportunity to test our character? So, my stance is, upon seeing treasures, don't be reckless or grab them! Agreed?"

Just then, one Martial Artist loudly voiced.

"Agreed, agreed!"

Many Martial Artists immediately shouted in agreement.

Their eyes flickered with desire; if possible, they obviously wished to possess the palace's treasures.

But should the test actually examine their character, them squabbling over treasures would be disastrous.

Initially, they tried the Flying Technique, realizing it couldn't be used here.

Moreover, strong forces obstructed Divine Sense probing, preventing them from examining further ahead.

Divine Sense probes were restricted to less than a hundred meters.

The stronger a Martial Artist's Divine Power, the further their Divine Sense could probe.

Among all present, Duan Gujin could probe the furthest.

After a while, discussion ensued over advancing together.

Moving cautiously, they worried about possible Mechanical Traps on the ground.

They even considered the corpses, suspecting past adventurers shared similar fate.

Those adventurers entered the area, accidentally triggering traps, and ultimately perished.

Such chilling thoughts sent shivers through the Martial Artists.

Duan Gujin advanced some distance, suddenly detecting faint Killing Array forces ahead, quickly halting the group.

"Stop; I sense something amiss ahead!"

Upon hearing him, everyone instantly stopped.

Recognizing his identity, some Martial Artists knew he ranked seventh in the Dimension Advancement Competition, quite a remarkable feat.

Those aware of Duan Gujin's identity trusted his words.

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, having sensed danger ahead.

To verify his intuition, he cautiously advanced forward.
