The old man stretched, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and then yawned several times in succession.

after.

He just looked around, and the blank look on his face was gradually replaced by surprise.

Especially when the old man saw the stone tablet at his feet, he subconsciously jumped back half a step and rubbed his eyes hard several times, for fear that he might have seen it wrong.

"This entrance No. 35 has been opened again after being closed for tens of thousands of years!"

"In Taiwei Realm, is there finally a successor?"

The two sentences the old man muttered to himself allowed Chen Qiang to decipher a massive amount of information.

First of all, this should be an entrance to some lost land, and this entrance has been closed for tens of thousands of years.

Secondly, the reason for the closure is most likely related to the fracture of the stone monument.

Finally, according to what the old man said, this entrance belongs to the Taiwei Realm, so its original closure was most likely related to the fall of Emperor Qing.

Thinking of this, Chen Qiang could no longer hold back and asked directly to the old man: "Old man, excuse me."

"Who, who is there?" Unexpectedly, the old man was so frightened that he jumped three feet high, and then squinted his eyes and looked around.

After a long while, it seemed that Chen Qiang was finally discovered, and he said with an embarrassed look: "Oh, it turns out there is someone."

"I'm still wondering why the entrance is open but there's no one challenging it."

"Hey, little guy, did you start the challenge?"

Chen Qiang nodded subconsciously and said, "It should be me. So, what kind of challenge is this?"

"Also, I don't know how to call senior?"

"Hahaha!" The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "I haven't used my name for a long time. Please call me..."

The old man's slightly aged eyes revealed a look of reminiscence, and he said, "Just call me, Taoist Master Taixu."

Chen Qiang was startled when he heard this. He dared to call himself Taixu, and he didn't know who this old man was.

It's a pity that this old man is obviously not here in his true form, so Chen Qiang's Cave Vision Spirit naturally loses its effect.

"It seems it's time to upgrade the Dongxu Wangling." Chen Qiang felt a little regretful, and made up his mind to upgrade the Dongxu Wangling first as soon as there is available experience.

Then he nodded again, cupped his hands and said: "Senior Taixu, this is my first time here too, I would like to ask for some advice from you."

"It's easy to say that everyone who comes here is the first time, and only those who have the key can come here, and they can only come once." Taoist priest Taixu touched his beard and said with a smile: "You are lucky, kid.

A little fox is the one who holds the key."

"What key?" Chen Qiang raised his eyebrows slightly and asked subconsciously.

"Of course it's the key to the entrance. Entrance No. 35 has been destroyed. It seems that those guys still left some backup for their descendants. It's interesting." Taoist priest Taixu was in high spirits.

, seems to have thought of something interesting.

"Okay, let's get down to business!" Taoist Master Taixu looked serious and did not give Chen Qiang a chance to ask questions again. He continued: "The challenge is very simple. As long as you can reach the end alive, it will be considered complete."

"As for the end point, if you can get there, you will know it. I can't say more."

"When you are ready, enter the building complex and the challenge begins."

"Um..." Chen Qiang was speechless. What he said was too simple. It felt like he said a lot, but he didn't seem to say anything.

"Senior, I would like to ask, does this challenge have anything to do with Qingdi?" Chen Qiang asked unwillingly.

"What Qing Emperor?" Taoist Taixu looked confused, and it didn't look like he was cheating.

"Okay, all your questions will be answered after you pass the level." Taoist Taixu smiled mysteriously, waved his hand, and prepared to disappear.

"Wait, senior!" Chen Qiang asked hurriedly: "The last question, how can she wake up?"

After saying that, he gently lifted Hu Xiaoyou in his arms to indicate that she was still unconscious.

"This little fox will wake up after leaving here." The figure of Taoist Taixu has almost disappeared, and only the voice still echoes in the wide square: "I wish you good luck, little guy."

Following Taoist Priest Taixu's disappearance, the stone tablet emitting golden light collapsed suddenly, then turned into pieces and completely dissipated in the air.

Chen Qiang tightened his arms around his lover. Of course, he would not naively think that what Taoist Taixu was talking about was referring to the square.

"Obviously, Xiaoyou will not wake up until he leaves this lost place."

"Then let me protect you on the next journey, Xiaoyou."

Looking at Hu Xiaoyou's charming face in his arms, Chen Qiang lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently, murmuring in his mouth.

Then he hugged Hu Xiaoyou tightly, Chen Qiang's eyes were determined, and he walked firmly towards the ancient buildings pointed by Taoist Taixu.

This seems to be a huge abandoned ancient city, covering an area of ​​about a hundred acres. From a distance, it looks desolate and sad, like a terrifying monster with its mouth wide open, waiting to devour people.

Not only that, after getting closer, Chen Qiang discovered that in front of the gate of the ancient city, there was actually a stone sculpture of a monster as tall as a person.

They may have their eyes wide open, or they may roar, or they may show their teeth and claws.

Every stone sculpture exudes a terrifying aura, shocking everyone.

Although they looked very old, Chen Qiang could still faintly feel a powerful wave of energy from them.

The degree of fluctuations in this aura is enough to make ordinary fusion cultivators tremble with fear.

"Hey, what on earth is this? How can it be so powerful!"

"And I've never seen the appearance of any of these monsters?"

There are a total of twelve stone sculptures, distributed in pairs on both sides of a marble road. Walking along this road among the stone sculptures, Chen Qiang couldn't help but take a breath.

Finally, on this road filled with stone carvings, Chen Qiang came to the end, which was also the gate of the abandoned ancient city.

At this time, the city gate was closed, but after arriving, Chen Qiang discovered that the city wall was more than twenty feet high and flying was prohibited.

As a result, it is obviously unrealistic to jump over the city wall and enter the ancient city.

The only way is probably to find a way to open the city gate and enter the ancient city through the main entrance.

Chen Qiang looked around and determined that there was no other place to enter the city except this city gate, so he turned all his attention to the city gate.

"Is this city gate the first test?" Chen Qiang pondered for a moment, stepped forward, and reached out to push the city gate.

But this push could not shake the huge city gate at all.

It didn't even sway.

"Huh? Such a thick material?" Chen Qiang frowned.

Although he had not tried his best in his tentative attempt just now, it could not be stopped by a mere city gate.

But the result failed to shake the slightest bit.

I can only say that it is indeed a forgotten place, it is indeed extraordinary.

Just as Chen Qiang was thinking this, the thick city gate retreated to both sides little by little, gradually opening a gap.

Gradually, the gap was enough for one person to pass through, but Chen Qiang's expression was completely stunned.

Not only because the city gate was pushed open by him, but also because he saw through the gap the city, bustling with traffic and bustling with people, but not as decayed and dilapidated as it looked from the outside.
