Chapter 1045: Hesitance
"What do you have to declare, Fellow Daoist Jin?" Yu Kuohai asked.
"If we want to enter the pagoda to access the treasures inside, then we have to bypass this stone gate, which would require us to unravel this restriction. If I were to do that on my own, it would take at least two days, but if I can have all of your help, then perhaps the restriction can be overcome in an instant," Jin Liu said.
Wary looks immediately appeared on everyone's faces upon hearing this. The memory of what had happened to the cultivators in the Bipolar Yin Yang Array was still clear in their minds, and they were terrified of repeating their mistakes.
With no one answering his call, Jin Liu's expression instantly darkened slightly, and he said, "So all of you want to only reap the benefits without putting in any work. Surely that's too much to ask for, is it not?"
"Fellow Daoist Jin, please elaborate on how you plan to break this restriction. That way, we can all be mentally prepared and react accordingly if any unforeseen mishaps occur," Elder Yang said.
"The array on this gate is called a Yin Yang Latch Array, and all that's required is for all of us to inject our immortal spiritual power into the gate at once to create an imbalance in the yin and yang doornails. That will be enough to unravel the restriction and allow us to open this gate," Jin Liu explained.
"That certainly sounds very simple, but is there any potential for backlash from the restriction? Do we run the risk of meeting the same fate as all those fellow daoists in the Bipolar Yin Yang Array?" Yu Kuohai asked.
"This array is different from the previous one, and I can assure you that there's no risk involved here. In order to allay everyone's concerns, I'm willing to join all of you in this effort. If something happens, then I'll have to suffer the consequences as well," Jin Liu replied.
Even after this attempt at reassurance from Jin Liu, there was still no one willing to heed his call, and Su Anqian's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this.
"Is there anyone willing to volunteer themselves?" she asked.
Everyone remained silent, pretending not to have heard her.
