Chapter 809 - The real cemetery
Everyone blankly looked at each other, their faces filled with surprise.
What was going on? How did a door appear?
“You Yue, just now… it seemed like… it’s because your blood dripped on the surface that this happened.” Kong Xiang Yi looked at Sima You Yue with wide eyes, “Could it be that your blood has some special properties?”
“What kind of special properties could it have? Maybe the door just needs blood to activate.” Sima You Yue denied it, “Since we managed to find the door, we might as well head in.”
She didn’t want them to linger on this question. This was because, when she saw that black lotus earlier, she felt a kind of scorching heat on her back. It was as if it was on fire.
However, she subconsciously did not want anyone to find out about this.
“That’s right.” Han Miao Shuang agreed, “We couldn’t find the door earlier, and now that the door has opened, we should go in for a look.”
Su Xiao Xiao and Ximen Feng stepped forward, each pushing one side of the door. However, it seemed like the apparently open door wouldn’t budge.
“Sigh, this is really strange.” Su XIao Xiao siad, “Could it be that we’re not strong enough?”
“Xiang Yi, let’s try as well.”
Han Miao Shuang and Kong Xiang Yi stepped forward, each supporting one of them. The four of them pushed together, but it was useless.
The four of them tried a few more times, but each result was the same.
They ended up retreating, staring speechlessly at the huge panel door.
“Too damn weird. It’s obviously unlocked? Why isn’t it opening? Could it be like the panel doors outside, having some kind of mechanism?” Han Miao Shuan touched her chin, “Xiang Yi, why don’t you give it a try? See if there’s any mechanism.”
“Alright.” Kong Xiang Yi changed her approach. She began to inspect the door, searching to see if there was any kind of mechanism. However, even after searching for half a day, she was unable to find anything special about it.
“It can’t be pushed, and there are no mechanisms. Could it be a fake door?” Su Xiao Xiao postulated.
“It really can’t be opened?” Sima You Yue siad, “Could it be because your bodies are weaker than chicken legs? Let me try.”
She walked over and placed her hand on the panel door. The instant before she touched the door, the searing heat on her back turned cool, as if it had never burned before.
Because the four of them didn’t push, she placed both hands on the two panel doors. She didn’t even use any strength as the door opened with a click, revealing a road ahead.
Brilliant white rays of light streamed through the doors, and she subconsciously squinted. At this moment, she seemed to have seen an immortal lady standing amidst the blanket of white.
However, she was dazed for only a short moment. Once her eyes adjusted to the bright light, she opened them again only to find that there was no lady there. She gathered her strength and pushed the door, opening it.
As for her, she was stunned when she saw the scenery that greeted her from behind the door.
“You Yue, you’re so powerful! You…” Kong Xiang Yi hopped over and was stunned when she saw the sight before her.
“What? Are there any treasures in there?”
Han Miao Shuang walked in as well, followed by Ximen Feng and JIang Jun Zhe. Although their reactions were not as exaggerated as Sima You Yue, they were stunned too.
There were no stone houses behind those doors, neither were they still in a cave. Instead, there was a patch of sky. They were sky and land, mountains and rivers, flowers and grass. There were even two houses halfway up a mountain, not too far from where they were.
“You You…”
A faint sound was heard from far away, as if it had passed through time, drifting close to You Yue’s ear.
That greeting was light and airy, but it gave her heart a huge shock.
Who was calling out to her?
Was it really calling out to her?
She wanted to locate the one who had called out to her, but she found that there was nobody inside at all.
“This… this is too beautiful!” Kong Xiang Yi regained her senses and cried out with both hands clutched to her chest.
Han Miao Shuang and the others walked inside in a daze, wondering whether or not they were hallucinating.
“This place is truly beautiful. But it shouldn’t be real.” Jiang Jun Zhe said.
“That’s right. We’re obviously underground. How could we possibly enter a beautiful and luscious place like this in an instant.” Ximen Feng agreed.
“This should be an illusion array. The person who created it must be really powerful to conjure this kind of environment.” Han Miao Shuang sighed.
“This place isn’t an illusion array either.” Sima You Yue said.
“It’s not? Don’t tell me this is reality?”
Sima You Yue gave a deep breath and stepped inside. Then, she stretched out both hands, saying, “Can you feel me?”
Han Miao Shuang stretched forth both hands to hold onto her. However, although she was clearly only a step away from her, she could not grab on to her. Her outstretched hands phased through Sima You Yue’s palm.
“This is… two spaces?!”
“If I’m not wrong, this should be a little realm.” Jiang Jun Zhe said, “Azure Emperor placed a little realm in here, and this door is precisely that door that opens up to this little realm. The door functions as the last part of the cemetery.”
“So powerful?!” Su Xiao XIao was incredibly surprised, “The real cemetery is actually a little realm!”
“It was no wonder that there were not that many mechanisms and arrays. It was just a smokescreen. This is the real place.” Sima You Yue sighed.
When they saw the little realm, she finally understood what she’d been puzzling about before. She kept thinking that there were too few mechanisms inside the cemetery, which totally didn’t seem like it was protecting the cemetery at all. Although the qi spirit had given rise to many creatures, there were just too little mechanisms and arrays.
However, the suspicions in her heart had yet to completely fade away. There was still a little bit lingering on.
“That lady’s cemetery should be here.” Jiang Jun Zhe stepped inside, coming beside Sima You Yue.
“Eldest Senior Brother, you’re very sure that this is the cemetery of the Azure’s Emperor’s beloved?” Sima You Yue asked.
“I was not completely sure at first, but now that I’ve seen the little realm, I am more certain.”
“Why so?”
“Because that text said that the Azure Emperor had a few little realms. In one of those realms, he placed the lady’s body. He used that little realm as her cemetery, which is in line with what was passed down. Isn’t this enough proof?” Jiang Jun Zhe said.
“What about that crystal coffin? Will it be in one of these houses?” Han Miao Shuang was rather curious about that lady, wondering whether or not there was anything left behind.
“Let’s take a look inside those houses.” Kong Xiang Yi felt the same as the others. The two of them sang the same tune and flew towards the house.
“Really impatient. They could take a slow stroll there, but they had to run.” Jiang Jun Zhe said with a smile, “We should go as well.”
Ximen Feng and the others walked in, and that door closed on its own.
Sima You Yue turned around to take a look, and that door had already vanished. Only an endless patch remained.
“How could we have entered so easily?” She pondered secretly. Looking at everyone else, it seemed like they didn’t think of this.
They must have been muddled by the surprise that the little realm and the Azure Emperor gave them, which was why nobody thought about it.
“Ah-”
Kong Xiang Yi’s cry suddenly sounded from inside the house.
