Chapter 2415

The entrance to the Immortal Artifact Space actually had two openings, and this discovery left everyone feeling quite surprised and confused.

They carefully observed the two entrances, yet found that they were identical in appearance, and even the aura they emitted was exactly the same.

Faced with this situation, everyone was at a loss, not knowing how to tell which was the Life Gate and which was the Death Gate.

Just as everyone was racking their brains, an Elder of the Wushen Palace suddenly put forward a guess.

"These two entrances, one is the Life Gate, and the other is the Death Gate."

His words drew everyone's attention, and people began to discuss it.

"But these two entrances look completely the same, and there is no difference in their aura—how can we tell which is the Life Gate and which is the Death Gate?"

Someone raised the question.

Indeed, judging by appearance, these two entrances are practically identical, with no obvious features to distinguish the Life Gate from the Death Gate.

This left everyone feeling quite embarrassed, and for a moment no one knew what to do.

However, after a moment of silence, an Elder of the Ultimate Bliss Palace suddenly flashed a hint of ruthlessness on his face, and he said calmly.

"If you want to determine it, the only way is to let someone go in and try it themselves."

His words were like a stone dropped on a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves.

Everyone present was shocked by this remark, for it meant using living human lives to test the truth of these two entrances.

After all, if someone entered and unfortunately encountered the Death Gate, it would be a dead end, resulting in death and the disappearance of their Dao; but if luck favored them and they hit the Life Gate, they could successfully enter the Immortal Artifact Space.

But who should be sent to take the risk? This question left everyone silent.

After all, nobody wants to gamble with their own life on such a life-and-death trial.

Upon hearing the words of that Elder of the Ultimate Bliss Palace, everyone present remained silent, each falling into silence.

They were just worried about being selected.

Moreover, it was obvious that the choice could not come from the three Heavenly Family Elders; anyone could see that it would have to be selected from among them.

As expected, just as the words fell, everyone noticed that the Heavenly Family Elder and the Wushen Palace Elder had no objections, apparently acquiescing to this decision.

Seeing this, the Elder of the Ultimate Bliss Palace slowly swept his gaze over the crowd, his eyes cold and indifferent, as if the lives and deaths of these people had nothing to do with him.

After scanning the circle, he finally spoke, his voice so calm it was somewhat surprising.

"Ladies and gentlemen, is there anyone willing to volunteer to go inside and investigate?"

This is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous task, almost tantamount to delivering oneself to death.

Yet, faced with this demand, everyone chose silence, and not a single person stepped forward to respond.

It was clear that nobody was willing to risk their own life.

Seeing this scene, the Elder of the Ultimate Bliss Palace also appeared rather straightforward.

He then declared that whoever voluntarily entered, regardless of whether they lived or died, would receive a generous reward.

Furthermore, if unfortunately they selected the Death Gate, one of their junior descendants could still be chosen to cultivate in the Ultimate Bliss Palace and directly become an Inner Door Disciple.

Such a reward is certainly not light, after all, being able to cultivate in the Ultimate Bliss Palace is a dream opportunity for many.

Yet even with such tempting conditions, the crowd remained unmoved, still silent.

Just as the words of that Elder of the Ultimate Bliss Palace fell, the Heavenly Family Elder and the Wushen Palace Elder also promptly expressed their stance.

The rewards they offered were equally generous; moreover, they promised that anyone willing to enter could select one of their junior clan members to become their disciple.

This undoubtedly provided those present with an opportunity to risk their own lives to secure a bright future for their descendants.

After all, if one could cultivate in such hegemonic powers as the Heavenly Family, the Ultimate Bliss Palace, or the Wushen Palace, setting aside other matters, the cultivation resources alone would surely make countless people envious.

Know that hegemonic powers like the Ultimate Bliss Palace and the Wushen Palace have extremely strict requirements for recruiting disciples.

For an ordinary person to join them through normal channels is practically harder than ascending to heaven.

However, as the saying goes, 'under a heavy reward there must be a brave man'; after a period of silence and inner turmoil, someone finally could not hold back and stepped forward voluntarily.

This person was an Elder of a small sect, perhaps for the sake of his family's future, or perhaps lured by the generous reward, he resolutely chose to risk his life, hoping to win a splendid future for his descendants.

After someone took the lead, several more people stood up one after another.

These people all shared the same purpose: to secure a future for their descendants.

They deeply understood that they had little room for development left in this life and could not achieve much more.

Therefore, they would rather sacrifice themselves to strive for an opportunity for their juniors.

In the end, a total of five people stepped forward, and this number was already sufficient.

Seeing this situation, the Heavenly Family Elder nodded in satisfaction and said.

"Good, ladies and gentlemen, for this journey, regardless of life or death, the rewards previously promised by my Heavenly Family will certainly not be broken in the slightest."

Upon hearing the Heavenly Family Elder's words, the other two Elders also expressed their agreement.

"My Ultimate Bliss Palace is the same."

"My Wushen Palace is likewise."

These rewards, while indeed very generous in their view, are actually nothing for a great family like the Heavenly Family, and there is absolutely no need to damage their own reputation over such a trivial matter.

Regarding the promises made by the Heavenly Family and others, these five people had no doubts; they respectfully nodded to the crowd to indicate their acceptance.

Immediately afterward, under the gaze of everyone, they hesitated not at all and prepared to head to the entrance to investigate.

The five people split into two groups, each entering a different entrance.

However, three of them had chosen the left entrance, but when they tried to step inside, they found themselves seemingly blocked by a mysterious force.

They simply could not enter; even if they tried to force their way in, they could not move an inch.

The left entrance, these three could not enter at all.

Watching the three being barred outside the entrance, even after exerting all their strength, they could not take a single step forward.

The three Heavenly Family Elders who had been closely observing nearby also furrowed their brows slightly.

From beginning to end, the three never took their eyes off the entrance, missing no detail, and the current situation is indeed strange—could this entrance have some other restriction?

Or are you saying that of the two entrances, only one is real, and the other is completely useless?
