Chapter 474: Open!

Jiang Feng looked at Duan Zhang with a cold gaze, then strode forward.

A white-robed person came up behind Duan Zhang and spoke in a low voice.

"Eldest Son, is this guy reliable? He looks so arrogant!"

Duan Zhang looked at Jiang Feng's back, the corner of his mouth curling into a cold smile.

"He is a Kunlun Descendant; if even he can't open this place, our Duan Family's plan of many years might come to nothing."

He paused, a flash of sharpness passing through his eyes.

"So you still hope he succeeds, right?"

As he said that, Jiang Feng had already walked far away, and now he turned his head, looking at Duan Zhang with a cold expression.

"Still not leaving?"

Duan Zhang immediately said to the white-robed person.

"Follow!"

Several white-robed people glanced at each other, followed behind Duan Zhang, and the group went deeper into the mountain top.

Passing through a patch of weeds, a cliff appeared ahead.

The cliff was very high, several tens of meters, bare, covered in moss, looking extremely ancient.

Jiang Feng looked around, slightly furrowed his brow, and said to Duan Zhang.

"Are you sure the Duan Family has something here? I don't feel anything special."

His perception far surpassed ordinary people, yet standing before this cliff he felt nothing unusual.

There was no spiritual energy fluctuation, no formation traces, just like an ordinary rock wall.

Duan Zhang grinned, his eyes showing a bit of pride.

"Mr. Jiang, please look."

As his words fell, several white-robed people glanced at each other, then four of them stood at the four directions, forming hand seals.

Their movements were slow, but each carried an ancient rhythm.

The air began to vibrate, the ground trembled slightly.

The cliff emitted a rumbling sound, as if something was awakening from slumber.

Not long after, a crack split open in the middle of the cliff!

The crack widened, eventually becoming a huge cave.

The cave mouth was pitch black, its depths unseen, and an ancient, vast aura poured out from within.

In an instant, Jiang Feng felt as if he were no longer in the original world.

The surrounding space seemed to warp, and time seemed to slow down.

His expression hardened, and a thought arose in his mind.

"To change heaven and earth…"

"This is definitely the work of a Great Martial Venerable!"

"Only a powerhouse of Martial Ancestor Level can leave such a means after death, altering the laws of a region of heaven and earth."

Duan Zhang looked at Jiang Feng's expression and smiled confidently.

"Mr. Jiang, please."

He made a gesture of invitation.

"From now on, it's up to you."

Jiang Feng glanced at him, said nothing, lifted his foot, and walked into the cave.

His steps were steady, but with each step he could feel countless mysterious lights flickering around him.

Those lights seemed alive, wandering beside him, as if examining him…

Duan Zhang followed behind, speaking as he walked.

"Our Duan Family has exhausted all efforts, yet we can only open this first door."

"According to our family's Great Being's deduction, there should be an underground palace inside, but the second layer already involves top-tier formations; our Duan Family even invited a Martial Venerable, to no avail."

Jiang Feng said nothing and continued forward.

The cave was deep and winding, its walls covered with ancient runes.

Those runes emitted a faint light, illuminating the path ahead.

After walking about ten minutes, a huge space appeared ahead.

The space was circular, covering several hundred square meters.

The surrounding walls were inlaid with countless star patterns, those patterns flickering with light, as if simulating a starry sky.

In the center of the floor was etched a huge formation diagram, its lines so complex they dazzled the eyes.

Jiang Feng stood at the edge of the formation diagram, looking around.

At that moment his eyes seemed to show an endless starry sky, the star patterns reflected in his pupils, as if resonating with him.

He couldn't help but frown and say.

"The master of this place is a Great Martial Venerable who wields the power of spacetime law."

"If he doesn't acknowledge you, even a Martial Venerable would find it hard to forcefully enter the underground palace."

Duan Zhang stood behind him, hearing this, he nodded.

"The Duan Family also deduced this, which is why we've never been able to enter."

Several white-robed people stood aside, one of them couldn't help but speak.

The white-robed man named Duan Ping lifted his hood, revealing a middle-aged man's face, his eyes showing a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Who can't say nice words? Are you only capable of empty talk?"

His Tone carried obvious doubt and contempt.

Duan Zhang's face sank, and he angrily rebuked.

"Duan Ping! Do not be rude to Mr. Jiang!"

Duan Ping snorted, but still closed his mouth, yet the unwillingness in his eyes did not fade.

Jiang Feng glanced at the other party.

He turned his head and continued to look at the Star Pattern above.

Those stars were twinkling, appearing chaotic, but Jiang Feng could sense that there was some connection between them.

He closed his eyes, opened his perception fully, to feel the pattern among those stars.

Time passed minute by minute.

The space was eerily silent, only the faint sound when those stars twinkled.

After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Jiang Feng suddenly opened his eyes.

His gaze swept over those Star Patterns, finally stopping on an inconspicuous star.

That star was very small, its light also very faint; if not looked at carefully, it would go unnoticed.

But Jiang Feng could sense that this star was the Core of the entire formation diagram.

All the stars were revolving around it.

A faint Cold Smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Feng's mouth.

"It's right Here!"

Saying that, he raised his hand and pointed a finger at that star.

Duan Ping stood at the Back, seeing Jiang Feng's action, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

He was about to mock Jiang Feng, thinking that just randomly pointing would work?

But the next moment, the entire space emitted a terrifying tremor.

The ground was Trembling, the walls shook, the Star Pattern above flashed wildly, the light blinding enough to make one unable to open their eyes.

Duan Ping's face changed dramatically, his body acted on Instinct, stepping back two paces.

Duan Zhang also turned pale, he reached out to steady himself against the wall before standing firm.

Several white-robed people became even more tense, assuming defensive postures.

The rumbling sound lasted about ten or so seconds, then gradually subsided.

The light faded, and the space was in Recovery.

But everyone saw that a huge bronze door appeared on the wall directly ahead.

The door was about ten meters high and five meters wide, its surface covered with ancient patterns and Runes.

Those Runes emitted a golden light, as if Breathing, alternating bright and dim.

Duan Ping stared wide-eyed in shock, his Tone changed.

"It actually opened?"

His Mouth opened wide, his jaw almost dropping.

Duan Zhang also froze, his eyes full of ecstasy.

He knew Jiang Feng was a Kunlun Descendant, and knew Jiang Feng might have a way to open the ruin.

But he never expected that Jiang Feng would actually find the solution so quickly.

Several white-robed people also looked at each other, their faces full of disbelief.

Their Duan Family had studied this ruin for decades, consulted countless experts, even invited a Martial Sovereign, yet they had never opened the Second Door.

Jiang Feng achieved it with only the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

Duan Ping's face flushed and paled, his lips trembling, wanting to say something but unable to utter a word.

Just moments ago he had been mocking Jiang Feng for only speaking empty words.

Now Jiang Feng had directly opened the door, his face burning with shame, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Jiang Feng lowered his hand, his expression calm.

He turned his head to glance at Duan Ping, saying nothing, but the meaning in his gaze was obvious.

Duan Ping lowered his head, not daring to meet his gaze.

Duan Zhang took a deep breath, suppressed his shock, and bowed his Fists.

"Mr. Jiang truly lives up to being a Kunlun Descendant; I, Duan, am impressed."

Jiang Feng said lightly.

"Cut the nonsense, let's go in and have a look."

Duan Zhang quickly nodded and waved at the several white-robed people.

"Let's go!"
