Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

At the end of the path is an ancient stone gate, covered with intricate runes.

These runes were shining with a faint blue light under the illumination of the flowers. It seemed that this should be the main gate of Tianyi Sect.

Gu Yang walked to the entrance and observed the situation inside, but found nothing.

Hu Qing huddled in his dantian, sensing the formation around him, but didn't find any clues.

"Brother Gu, let's break in. The formation should be between the entrance and the stone gate."

Gu Yang nodded. The sky was dim. If he delayed any further, it would be even more difficult to climb the mountain.

Gu Yang was about to take a step when he heard heavy footsteps behind him.

They looked back and saw a burly young man striding towards them.

The young man was over two meters tall, with muscles as strong as steel. He carried a huge axe on his shoulder, with a huge lion's head stuck on the axe blade, and blood dripped down his mane.

The lion's head was still emitting heat, obviously it had just been chopped off.

"Are you new here?" The young man's voice was like a loud bell, shaking the two people's eardrums.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked at each other and nodded. They couldn't actually see the man's strength.

He stood in front of Gu Yang, like a giant bear, majestic and imposing.

The young man grinned, revealing his white teeth: "My name is Fang Yu. I'll be waiting for you at the foot of the mountain gate. I'm rooting for you."

Then he stretched out his giant hand and patted Gu Yang. Gu Yang instantly felt a surge of energy in his body, and a huge force was destroying his thin body.

Fortunately, Fang Yu quickly withdrew his strength, carried the giant axe, and walked towards the entrance with big strides, humming a song, looking in a good mood.

The moment he stepped into the entrance, the two of them looked shocked and disappeared from their sight.

It seems that this formation is not as easy to break through as they imagined.

However, there is an old Chinese saying, since you are here, you have already arrived.

Gu Yang and Hu Qing smiled at each other. This Fang Yu was really interesting. They followed closely behind him and stepped into the entrance of Tianyi Mountain.

As soon as you enter the entrance, you will see a white fog in front of you, and your vision will not exceed three feet.

Gu Yang had no choice but to stop and wait for the fog to dissipate. Hu Qing didn't dare to act rashly, fearing that there were many people watching inside and he couldn't be exposed so easily.

"This fog... is so strange."

Hu Qing frowned. He felt that there seemed to be some kind of power contained in the fog that made his mental strength unable to penetrate.

Gu Yang closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He could feel the subtle flow of spiritual energy in the fog. This should be caused by the formation set up by Tianyi Sect.

Ever since his Dantian was destroyed, he has been trying to sense spiritual energy day and night, which has caused him to be extremely sensitive to the flow of spiritual energy.

Just as the two were waiting for the fog to dissipate, they suddenly heard a slight rustling sound in their ears, as if something was passing by.

"Someone is coming, and they are murderous!"

Hu Qing whispered. He sensed a strong murderous aura directed at both of them, and his expression became extremely serious.

Gu Yang immediately became alert. He tightly grasped the royal sword handed to him by Hu Qing, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

The fog gradually dissipated, and the scene before their eyes gradually became clearer.

They found themselves standing in a dense bamboo forest, with tall and straight bamboos and lush green leaves.

But the layout of the bamboo forest is extremely precise, and the road ahead cannot be seen at a glance.

"It seems that this should be the test set by Tianyi Sect."

Hu Qing looked around, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. The murderous aura was still nearby, but he couldn't see anyone.

Gu Yang nodded. He knew that as long as he passed through these bamboo forests, he would pass the test.

Gu Yang began to explore the bamboo forest, trying to find a way out.

But the formation in the bamboo forest seemed to be constantly changing. Every step they took, the surrounding bamboo would move accordingly, making it impossible for them to find the correct direction.

"Aqing, this is not a solution. We have to find a way to break this strange formation." Gu Yang said anxiously.

It was getting darker and darker, and the road was becoming increasingly difficult to see.

Hu Qing pondered for a moment and whispered, "We bought the lighting stone, don't worry, take your time, I'll show you the way, just follow it."

The lighting stone was bought by them in Hantian City. It is a completely white stone and can be regarded as an upgraded version of the night pearl.

Uses less spiritual power, is extremely bright, and lasts longer.

Soon, the bamboo forest became brighter, and Gu Yang placed a lighting stone under his feet.

He held up a lighting stone and began to move in the direction described by Hu Qing.

Hu Qing felt a strong murderous aura just now, but there was no other movement, only murderous aura.

After he realized that something was wrong, he felt that this was the right path, and he would take Gu Yang wherever there was murderous intent.

Sure enough, the surrounding bamboos stopped moving, and Gu Yang's steps became firm. He believed Ah Qing, and he was right.

Just when they thought they were about to find a way out, suddenly, a strong wind blew and the fog in the bamboo forest became thicker again.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang only felt a flash before their eyes and lost their way again.

When the fog cleared, Gu Yang's face turned pale. He pointed to the ground and said:

"Ah Qing, are we back? I was the one who buried that lighting stone."

Hu Qing looked in the direction of the finger, and sure enough, there was a lighting stone stuck in the ground, but it was dim, probably because its spiritual power had been exhausted.

"This..." Gu Yang was a little flustered. He looked down at Hu Qing, but found that Hu Qing's face was still as calm as water.

"Don't panic. Although this formation is complicated, as long as we focus on it, we will definitely find a way out."

Hu Qing's voice was steady and powerful, which encouraged Gu Yang and gave him great confidence.

The two calmed down again and began to try different methods.

From observing the growth patterns of bamboo to sensing the flow of spiritual energy, every attempt gave them a deeper understanding of the formation.

Time passed minute by minute, and after countless attempts, Hu Qing and Gu Yang finally found the pattern of the bamboo forest formation.

They discovered that whenever the wind blew, the spiritual energy in the bamboo forest would flow rapidly and drill into an inconspicuous dense forest.

That dense forest is where the greatest murderous aura gathers. According to Hu Qing's speculation, they should be moving towards that place when the wind blows.

Under the moonlight, the bamboo forest was silent. Gu Yang leaned against a bamboo, waiting for the wind to blow.

"call!"

The wind blew as expected, and the murderous aura became heavy again.

"Now!" Gu Yang rushed into the dense forest, and found a huge rock inside.

Without any hesitation, Gu Yang crashed straight into the boulder. After a dizzy spell, he fell under the stone gate.

A pair of warm big hands helped him up. It was Fang Yu who had been waiting for a long time.

"It came out in half an hour! Not bad, little brother, come and eat meat."
