Fairy bestows immortality

Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief; his guess was correct.

In about ten seconds, the two iron gates completely disappeared into the mountainside.

Ahead, it was still pitch black.

Ding Qian'er turned around and looked at Su Yun, saying, "Young Fellow Daoist Su Yun, you are truly skilled. How did you know how to open the mountain gate?"

Su Yun remained calm after hearing this and said, "It was just luck."

Upon hearing this, Ding Qian'er knew that Su Yun didn't want to say more.

Since that's the case, she stopped asking.

All she knew was that Su Yun was far more unfathomable than she had imagined!

"But why is it still so dark?"

The fat monk looked into the doorway, his brow furrowed.

He carried the iron pestle in his hand and went inside.

Su Yun and Ding Qian'er followed.

The moment the fat cultivator stepped into the door, several bright lights suddenly appeared!

The surrounding walls were still made of brick and stone, but now there were a few torches hanging along the sides.

As they entered, it spontaneously burst into flames.

All three of them frowned inexplicably. Was there something more to it?

"Two stone statues?"

Su Yun noticed this keenly.

The space inside the door is quite large, with two stone statues standing in the middle.

The stone statue is as tall as a person, and the details are very well carved. It is lifelike, like a door god standing in place.

His face was fierce and menacing; he did not appear to be a kind person.

"These Buddhist people are really interesting. What are they doing?"

The fat monk was puzzled and stepped forward to examine the stone statue closely.

Su Yun noticed a mysterious circular pattern on the ground, directly beneath the two stone statues.

At both ends of the circle are two lines that connect to the iron gate.

Instantly, he had a bad feeling!

The next moment, two streams of spiritual energy suddenly extended from the iron gate and rapidly entered the formation.

In an instant, the entire formation lit up, and all the spiritual energy eventually entered the bodies of the two stone statues.

This scene made all three of them freeze in shock.

The fat cultivator was so surprised that he took a few steps back and left the formation area.

"Click~"

A faint sound came out, like the sound of something rubbing together.

Right before the three of them, the two stone statues actually moved after absorbing spiritual energy!

"This……"

Ding Qian'er was surprised.

The two stone statues have completely changed their appearance; their original gray-white exterior has now turned into a golden one.

His entire body was covered in mysterious characters, like those found in Buddhism!

As light swirled around him, he exuded a powerful aura.

His eyes were also golden, staring at Su Yun and the other two.

Su Yun frowned and said in a deep voice, "This is a backup plan of the mechanism. We have no way to break it. The spiritual energy just now activated the formation. There is a mark left by the original owner inside the stone statue. Now that the stone statue has been activated, it will probably attack us."

The three of them unconsciously moved closer together.

Because the aura emanating from these two stone statues is not weak; it has already exceeded the ninth level of Body Refinement!

The next moment, the two stone statues swung their stone staffs and suddenly attacked the three of them.

"boom!"

Two astonishing beams of divine light flew out from the stone staff, seemingly transforming into Buddhist divine runes and killing seals, enveloping the three of them and intending to suppress and kill them on this spot.

"They're just stone statues, why would I, Fatty, be afraid of you?!"

Immediately, he swung the iron pestle and launched an attack at the divine rune killing seal.

Su Yun and Ding Qian'er also made their moves. The divine runes enveloped them, and they had to all attack, otherwise they would not be able to escape.

In an instant, terrifying power erupted.

With the three of them attacking simultaneously, the suppressed divine rune seal was shattered, turning into specks of light and dissipating.

However, the three of them also felt its astonishing power, which made their blood and qi surge.

"This is the power of the Qi Sea Realm..."

Ding Qian'er said solemnly.

Su Yun, with his keen senses, said, "Don't be afraid. The mark inside the stone statue is very strong, but since it's not a true Qi Sea Realm cultivator, its power cannot be fully unleashed."

"Moreover, it's just a mark as a backup plan, and its energy can be exhausted quickly."
