System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

“So…” Zhang Hao continued, “once those who are being controlled arrive here, they will be unable to move forward for some reason?”

The bronze door, then, became bait, misleading them into believing that they could achieve their goal simply by passing through it.

"Yes."

Wu Tianzhen nodded in agreement.

"What's even more ingenious is that this trap also has a self-repairing mechanism."

Anyone attempting to forcibly break down the bronze door or bypass it to find the true entrance will trigger a series of mechanisms and traps, paying a heavy price.

At this point, a serious expression appeared on Wu Tianzhen's face:

"This is precisely why we encountered so many dangers and difficulties before."

Those mechanisms and traps were not placed randomly, but were carefully designed and calculated.

Their goal is to ensure this secret is never leaked, and at the same time, to prevent those under their control from ever achieving their objectives.

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.

They finally understood why this bronze door was so mysterious and fraught with danger.

It turns out that all of this was to protect an even greater secret—the ultimate secret about immortality and about the world.

"So."

The fat man broke the silence again.

Should we continue searching for the real bronze door or leave this place immediately?

After pondering for a moment, Wu Tianzhen said:

"I think we should continue searching for the real bronze door."

Although this trap is extremely dangerous and complex, as long as we remain vigilant and act cautiously, we will surely be able to find a way through it.

"and."

He changed the subject.

“We are very close to Motuo from here. I guess the main purpose of this bronze gate is to hide the bronze gate in Motuo.”

Hearing this, Zhang Hao nodded in agreement.

Their original goal was the bronze gate of Medog, behind which was the lower limb of a Qilin. Perhaps it was because of the presence of the Qilin's limb that the Zhang family ancestors set up such a trap in the nearby Kham region.

……

With the bronze gate incident resolved, Zhang Hao, Wu Tianzhen, and the others returned to the village with the Khampa people, waiting for the exit passage to open.

three days later.

As night fell and the moonlight was thin, the villages of Kham were exceptionally quiet, broken only by the occasional howl of wolves in the distance.

The people in blue robes prepared a farewell ceremony for them using an ancient and mysterious ritual.

Zhang Hao and the others were all carefully blindfolded with special blindfolds. These blindfolds seemed to be made of some kind of soft and breathable material, which would not put too much pressure on the eyeballs and could effectively block out external light.

Although Zhang Hao was blindfolded, his mind remained exceptionally clear.

He possesses extraordinary perception; even in such an environment, he can sense subtle changes in his surroundings through his keen intuition and perception.

He seemed to be able to "see" the air flowing around him, feel the solidity and steadiness of each step he took on the ground, and even vaguely catch the faint sounds coming from the distant mountains and forests.

Led by the man in blue robes, they traversed the winding mountain path.

Despite his obstructed view, vivid images gradually formed in Zhang Hao's mind:

The rugged mountain path, the occasional cool breeze from the night, and the distant silhouette of overlapping mountains.

His heartbeat was in sync with his footsteps, and every breath he took seemed to be a mysterious exchange with this ancient land.

An hour or two later, they were led by the blue-robed men into a cave on the snow-capped mountain.

"Ok?"

"How could this be?"

Zhang Hao clearly sensed that he had reached the end of the cave, but he could still move forward. For a moment, he felt as if he had passed through a stone wall, but it was also like a phantom.

The two sides of the wall seem like two different worlds: one side is bitterly cold, while the other is warm as spring.

Two hours later, after they emerged from the cave and navigated the maze-like descent, the blue-robed man finally stopped and spoke:

"Alright, you can take off your blindfold now."
