The Tao is far away

"Brother Lin, this is the inner layer, what about the outer layer?"

"Haha, Brother Chi, I have already cleaned out the outer layer."

……

"Is this the door you were talking about?" Wang Chi looked at the huge door in front of him and said solemnly.

Lin Yi's face was full of excitement at this moment, and he urged Wang Chi impatiently to hurry up.

There was a gleam of desire in his eyes, as if he had seen the endless treasure behind the door.

Wang Chi fired a fireball at it, but Ju Men didn't move at all, not even a speck of dust was stirred up.

He felt that even ten more people might not be able to open it, and even using bombs would be a problem.

"Brother Lin, are you sure we can open it?" Wang Chi asked doubtfully.

"Oh, Brother Chi, look at my brain. Logically speaking, this kind of tomb door should have a mechanism. Let's look for it." Lin Yi slapped his head and said with sudden enlightenment.

They began to carefully examine the walls around the door, looking for possible hidden mechanisms.

Just then, a voice broke their concentration.

"Well, boy, have you gone in?" Situ asked. His voice was a little lazy, as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"You finally woke up!" Wang Chi said helplessly.

"Sleeping? Boy, if I hadn't consumed your cheap master's essence while treating him, how could you be so sleepy?" Situ defended.

"Okay, okay, see if there is any mechanism here that can open this huge door." Wang Chi changed the subject, hoping to find a solution to the problem.

Situ smiled when he heard this and said, "How can a cultivator's cave have such things as mechanisms? There are only formations."

"However, there might still be caves of low-level cultivators like this," Situ added.

There was a hint of joking in his words, which made Wang Chi speechless. Every time he asked something, Old Deng would talk about something else.

At this moment, Lin Yi's voice cut through the silent air: "Found it!"

So fast! Wang Chi was shocked and couldn't help but be shocked by Lin Yi's efficiency.

While he was still wondering why Lin Yi was so fast, a series of dull and ancient mechanical sounds interrupted his thoughts.

All that could be heard was the sound of the mechanism turning, accompanied by the heavy sound of friction against the stone wall. The huge door slowly rose, revealing a passage leading deep into the tomb.

Lin Yi looked excited. He took two steps behind Wang Chi and said excitedly while pushing Wang Chi: "Let's go, let's go in!"

"Wouldn't it be too abrupt to go in like this?" Wang Chi's tone was a little hesitant and cautious.

After all, they were standing at the entrance of an unknown ancient tomb, and who knew what kind of dangers or traps might be inside.

Lin Yi did not answer him, and continued to push Wang Chi, as if all his attention was focused on the secret behind the opened giant door.

It was pitch black inside, but Lin Yi seemed to be very familiar with the place. He snapped his fingers, and flames flew out, lighting the candlesticks in the tomb.

As the flames jumped, the dim light gradually filled the entire tomb, dispelling the suffocating darkness.

With the help of light, Wang Chi saw that the space in the tomb was not large, and the walls were engraved with dense symbols and patterns.

In the center there is a black coffin with intricate carvings on its surface, exuding a calm and mysterious atmosphere.

This scene made people feel cold on their backs, as if invisible eyes were watching them, which made Wang Chi shudder.

It's strange, I always feel like something is wrong.

Wang Chi carefully recalled the details before this. Lin Yi's excitement when he found the mechanism and the whole process of the tomb door opening flashed through his mind.

Everything seemed to be going too smoothly without any obstacles.

"Oh, could it be..." A terrible thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

With a "bang", the coffin lid was suddenly blown over and stuck straight into the wall. A pale, seemingly bloodless and fleshless human claw stretched out from inside.

This scene was like the most horrific nightmare, making one's heart shrink suddenly.

"Oh no, boy, run!" Situ's voice sounded in Wang Chi's ears.

Wang Chi glanced at Lin Yi and found that he was looking at him with a smug look on his face.

This shocked Wang Chi and he realized that all this might be a carefully planned scheme by Lin Yi.

"Damn it!" Wang Chi retreated quickly, trying to get away from the horrifying coffin and the breath of death it released.

However, he found that the huge door had been closed at some point and he was trapped in the tomb.

"Now that you're here, there's no need to leave in a hurry." As this deep voice fell, the figure in the coffin slowly emerged.

A shrunken corpse in a tattered robe floated up from the coffin. Its eyes were empty, but revealed a strange light.

Stepping on the void, it seemed to be walking on an invisible staircase, approaching Wang Chi step by step.

A cold breath spread in the tomb as it moved, making the temperature of the air seem to drop.

The corpse waved his right hand lightly, and a cage made of bones quickly formed, trapping Wang Chi inside.

The bone cage emitted a faint glow, obviously not an ordinary object, and the runes on it flashed ominously.

"The peak of the late foundation building stage, half a step to becoming a great power!" Situ spoke slowly, with a hint of solemnity in his voice.

With such a cultivation level, even in today's cultivation world, one would be considered one of the best masters, let alone encountering it in such a closed environment.

With Situ's cultivation level, even a single hair of a Foundation Establishment cultivator could crush a bunch of them to death, but in his current soul state, he had no idea where to start.

With Wang Chi's cultivation level at the Qi Refining Stage, he could only wait for death when facing such an existence.

It's not easy for a worm to shake a tree!

When the corpse raised its arms, it slowly sat down on a horrific bone chair that was carefully formed by countless white bones.

"After devouring you, I will be able to absorb enough strength to enter the coveted Jindan realm and break through the formations that bind me in one fell swoop!" The corpse's voice was filled with ecstasy and anticipation.

"Finally I can get away from this damn place."

Facing such a powerful enemy, Wang Chi seemed to have lost the will to resist. He looked dim and said to Lin Yi in a cold voice: "Brother Lin, since you can't escape death, at least let me understand the reason for all this!"

Lin Yi just laughed, his tone frivolous and disdainful: "Forget it, Wang Chi, there are some things that you'd better not know. Just be a confused ghost, maybe you'll be happier!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword in Lin Yi's hand stabbed towards Wang Chi with a sharp sword energy, and the speed was so fast that it was almost impossible for people to react.
