The Gate of Life and Death is a trial place in the Yunlan Sect. Every successor to the Sect Master must enter the Gate of Life and Death to be tested before becoming the Sect Master. It is also the resting place of all previous Sect Masters after their death. To enter the Gate of Life and Death safely, one needs to have at least Dou Ling-level strength and also need to resonate with it in order to successfully step into this moment, Yun Yun brought Yao Yan to a canyon. The valley is shrouded in clouds and mist, which makes it look hazy and dreamy. If you look closely, you will see a portal deep in the clouds. The space inside is slightly distorted, as if it leads to another world. Yun Yun looked at the gate in the distance, her cold eyes turned to Yao Yan, and she said softly, "Sir, that is the gate to the Gate of Life and Death, but if you want to step into it, you have to resonate with the Gate of Life and Death." "The power of space... It seems that the ancestors of the Yunlan Sect also produced strong people." Yao Yan scanned the soul and sensed the powerful force of space, and couldn't help but speak. In order to utilize the power of space to such an extent, one’s strength cannot be lower than that of a Seven-Star Dou Zong. He had fought with the Seven Star Dou Zong before and could roughly feel the strength of the force of space. The force of space contained in the Gate of Life and Death in front of him was far beyond what the Seven Star Dou Zong could control, not to mention that the Gate of Life and Death was also connected to a secret realm for training. This method alone is not something that an ordinary Dou Zong can do. "I once heard from my teacher that the founder of the Yunlan Sect was an unrivaled powerhouse at the Dou Zun level." Yun Yun's eyes revealed a hint of emotion as she spoke slowly. After all, the Dou Zun level was too far away from her. Dou Zun... Yao Yan was stunned when he heard this, and then he looked at the Gate of Life and Death in the distance. After a moment of hesitation, he looked at Yun Yun and asked, "Have you been in there before?" With Yun Yun's identity, she should have been in there before.
“Yes, all the previous sect leaders and candidates have been in there… This is also a way to select the successor of the Yunlan Sect.” Yun Yun nodded slightly, and then floated towards the Gate of Life and Death with Yao Yan, and continued: “If you want to go in, you can try to see if you can resonate with it.” As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the gate of life and death. It was an ancient portal. The space in the center was slightly twisted, swallowing and exhaling the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth. The mist was transformed from this energy of heaven and earth. Next to it, there was a tall stone wall with three ancient characters "Gate of Life and Death" engraved on it, which exuded a magnificent momentum. Obviously, the person who wrote these words was no ordinary person. "How to try?" Yao Yan looked at the large gate in front of him, with some interest in his eyes, and asked curiously. “Just put your hand on it.” Yun Yun pointed to the stone wall not far away with the words "Gate of Life and Death" engraved on it. Upon hearing this, Yao Yan walked over. He was a man of great skill and courage, so he didn't worry about anything unexpected happening. He just stretched out his hand and put it close to him. As the two of them came into contact, a wonderful wave instantly swept through his body, as if measuring his talent. The next moment, the entire Gate of Life and Death began to tremble, and at the same time, the slightly twisted space portal expanded instantly, and at the same time, a strong suction force instantly covered Yao Yan. Yao Yan frowned slightly, and the strength of his body burst out instantly, directly blocking the suction force. At the same time, his figure flashed and he hugged Yun Yun who was about to be sucked in. The blue-red bone wings appeared behind him and trembled slightly, resisting the strong suction force. At this moment, Yun Yun no longer cared about being hugged by Yao Yan. She looked at the scene in front of her in shock. Such a change had never happened before. "It seems that this is not the resonance of the Gate of Life and Death~" Yao Yan looked at Yun Yun's expression and chuckled softly. Yun Yun frowned slightly, her eyes like autumn water were a little solemn, and she said in a deep voice: "Such a change has never happened before, it is better not to take risks, young master. There are many strange places in the Gate of Life and Death, and there may be some unknown dangers." "This is the Yunlan Sect's training ground. If there is no danger, how can the training be effective? I want to go in and take a look. Do you want to go?" Yao Yan asked, looking at the cold and beautiful woman in his arms. Looking at Yao Yan's casual yet resolute attitude, Yun Yun did not say the words of dissuasion after all. After a moment, there was a hint of determination in her eyes and she nodded heavily. "Brush~" After receiving a positive reply, Yao Yan no longer hesitated. The bone wings behind him moved slightly, and he hugged Yun Yun and flew towards the Gate of Life and Death. The next moment, the two of them disappeared from the spot.
With their disappearance, the strange phenomena at the Gate of Life and Death also stopped, and everything returned to normal. …… …… The space in front of his eyes kept distorting. The next moment, Yao Yan and Yun Yun appeared on a barren mountain. The light around them was dim, with only a few flashes of fluorescence. Looking closely, one could find that the source of the fluorescence was tiny insects, creatures similar to fireflies. "Sir, you can let me go now." At this time, Yao Yan heard Yun Yun's slightly awkward voice. It was obvious that this was the first time in her life that she had such close contact with the opposite sex. Upon hearing this, Yao Yan loosened his hand and did not say anything teasing. He looked around, and the soul power between his eyebrows surged out, covering the surroundings in an instant. A three-dimensional picture soon emerged in his mind. A cave with many paths and exits, and in the center, there is a coffin, with many dry bones sitting around it. "Have you been here before?" Yao Yan asked. Yun Yun tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, looked around with her beautiful eyes, and said with some suspicion, "This seems to be the place where the past sect leaders are buried, but I have only heard of this place and have never been here." "Let's go and pay homage to the ancestors of your Yunlan Sect." Yao Yan's eyes flashed with a faint light, but there was a faint smile on his face, and he spoke softly. Yun Yun nodded without refusing, and immediately followed Yao Yan, following the mountain path that led in all directions, towards the deepest part... The light around was extremely dim, and even the air was filled with a cold force, which made Yun Yun involuntarily approach Yao Yan, because around Yao Yan, the cold force was like a mouse seeing a cat, and did not dare to get close. "Many people died here. If a few hundred years pass, perhaps a bone spirit cold fire can be bred." Yao Yan looked at Yun Yun, who was folding her arms on her side, first glanced at her eyes with his peripheral vision, then stayed at a certain place for a few seconds, and then talked nonsense seriously. "Bone Spirit Cold Fire? Strange Fire?" Yun Yun didn’t know too much about strange fire. Apart from alchemists, other practitioners were obviously not very interested in it. "Yeah." Yao Yan nodded. He said this just to bring up a topic. There are no conditions for the birth of strange fire here. On the contrary, it seems that many ghosts are born here. If the guardian of the Soul Clan is here, he will definitely be ecstatic. He suddenly understood why the Eagle Protector in the original novel would set his sights on the Yunlan Sect. Such a precious place is an excellent place for training for a Soul Palace Protector who is between life and death. As everyone knows, whether it is a soul body or a ghost, it is all the nourishment for the cultivation of the people in the Soul Palace. "In that case, it seems that you came at the wrong time." Yun Yun blinked, and then seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Yao Yan with a half-smile and said with a smile. Yao Yan is an alchemist. If the Bone Spirit Cold Fire really was born here, then Yao Yan would definitely be able to gain something from this entry. But now, it seems very likely that he has made a wasted trip. Although the Gate of Life and Death is somewhat special, the things and opportunities in it are obviously useless to Yao Yan, who is half a step away from becoming a Dou Zong. Otherwise, her teacher would not have chosen to keep her in seclusion outside. "That's not necessarily true." Yao Yan said softly, and then looked at the coffin guarded by many bones in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "You have invited me in, how long are you going to hide?" At this moment, the two were not far from the coffin. After walking through the cave that stretched in all directions, they saw a very vast world in front of them. The layout of the entire Gate of Life and Death is extremely interesting. The interconnected caves are connected to the coffin in the center, forming a natural extremely yin formation that can be used to raise corpses or to nurture evil spirits. "Haha, I didn't expect that Yunlan Sect would have a younger generation like you. I am very pleased..." Along with a low and hoarse laugh, an almost tangible soul floated out of the coffin. The figure was very old, with white hair and beard, and his eyes were kind as he looked at Yun Yun and Yao Yan. Yun Yun opened her lips, shocked by the scene before her. She didn't expect that the ancestor of the Yunlan Sect was still alive. The soul of the person in front of her was exactly the same as the portrait in the Yunlan Sect. "Come closer and tell me what's going on with the Yunlan Sect." The old man waved his hand with a smile. Just as Yun Yun was about to step forward, her hand was held by Yao Yan, and at the same time, her ears could be heard from him, "Pretending to be a ghost, when did a vicious spirit learn to play this game? I'm very curious, are you the soul of the old ancestor of the Yunlan Sect, or are you the aggregation of the residual souls of the past sect masters after their death?"
"Young man, you are being too presumptuous!" Upon hearing this, the old man's expression instantly stiffened, and then a fierce look appeared in his eyes, and he scolded angrily. “Can’t suppress the murderous nature in your body? With such a complicated soul body, it seems that you have devoured many souls over the years. No wonder there are so many skeletons around. It seems that the ancestor who founded the Yunlan Sect was not a good person.” Yao Yan looked around and gave his evaluation. As he spoke, he clearly felt Yun Yun's body stiffen. Apparently, his words also irritated the leader of the Yunlan Sect. "I wanted you to die without pain, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant!" The old man's originally kind expression disappeared in an instant, his eyes instantly turned as dark as ink, his soul turned black, murderous aura lingered, and his expression became ferocious and fierce. A murderous aura swept over, and the terrifying pressure instantly made Yun Yun's face turn pale. It is obvious that the strength of this evil spirit in front of him is far superior to Yun Yun. "Brush~" Yun Yun's reaction was not slow. She quickly adjusted her mood. The ring on her finger flashed, and a long sword appeared in her palm. Dou Qi flowed around her body. She stared at the fierce spirit in front of her with cold eyes and said in a deep voice: "You devoured the souls of the past sect masters?!" The evil spirit was in no mood to pay attention to Yun Yun. His eyes were fixed on Yao Yan, because both his soul and body exuded an indescribable temptation. He had a hunch that if he just swallowed the other party, he would most likely be able to get rid of his current situation, directly leave the formation here, and gain complete freedom! This made his greed continue to grow, to the point where he could no longer control himself. He is an evil spirit, so how much rationality can you expect from him? "Let me do it, you are no match for him." Yao Yan exerted a little force with his palm and pulled Yun Yun behind him. As he turned his palm, a sky-blue flame rose. The next moment, the sky-blue flame turned into three different colored flames. At the same time, a wisp of dark white flame floated out from between his eyebrows. The next moment, under Yun Yun's gaze, the four kinds of flames that floated out turned into four fire spirits between the seals in her palms, and rose with the wind. In the blink of an eye, they turned into four huge monsters. The scorching temperature instantly swept across the entire cave. The cold and gloomy air brought by the evil spirit was instantly destroyed under the scorching heat of the four kinds of fire. At the same time, the originally arrogant and domineering evil spirit suddenly became like a quail, and even showed fear in his eyes. Yao Yan didn't even need to condense the fifth kind of fire spirit and perform the Five-Wheel Fire Separation Technique. With his current strength, it was too easy for him to suppress an evil spirit that had just entered the Dou Zong realm. He could just crush it head-on. The strange fire has a restraint on it, let alone the superposition of four kinds of strange fire. It can only be said that the evil spirit in front of him has provoked someone he shouldn't have provoked. If he faces the Eagle Protector and says a few nice words, he may even become his henchman. But Yaoyan obviously doesn't need this so-called evil spirit as his henchman. "boom!" The four fire spirits instantly suppressed the evil spirit on the ground. The horrifying temperature burned it until it started to smoke. A voice begging for mercy instantly came out of the other party's mouth, but it was soon covered by the rising flames. The four kinds of strange fire blended with each other, and the temperature was hot and violent. All the bones around were burned to ashes. The coffin even exploded directly, and a large amount of cold power surged out of it. The moment it intertwined with the power of the strange fire, a violent roar was produced. Yao Yan raised his hand and waved it gently, blocking all the waves that were sweeping over. Although he had not yet entered the Dou Zong realm, it was not difficult for him to use some of the power of space. He had accidentally fallen into the Tagor Desert that year, and his body was badly damaged by the power of space. However, this suffering is not without benefits. It has made his perception of the power of space particularly keen. "Do you want to spare his life?" Yao Yan looked at Yun Yun, who had a complicated expression on her face, and asked in a very considerate manner. Yun Yun witnessed all this and sighed in her heart. After a moment, she slowly said, "Since it is a nuisance, there is no need to keep it." "As you wish." (End of this chapter)
