Chapter 252 - 249: The One-horned Demon and the Floating Cloud Finger
After the surprise, Ye Zhen looked at the colored light gate at the end of the path and calmed down.
The reason Ye Zhen had blurted out "Secret Realm" was mainly because this colored light gate greatly resembled the one in the Universe Stone Forest Secret Realm within the Qiyun Sect.
According to the Qiyun Sect’s texts, such colored light gates are usually created by powerful beings who forcibly gather the Power of Earth Vein to condense them, or they could be formed by skilled Array Masters using formations.
The former was very likely an entrance to a Secret Mansion Remnant Realm, while the latter, in most cases, served as transportation portals.
If it were a transportation portal, Ye Zhen felt the likelihood was very small. Normally, the operation of a formation needed the support of Spirit Crystals, and with Floating Cloud Cave being abandoned for so long, even the energy within High Grade Spirit Crystals must have been depleted.
"Nine out of ten, it is a Secret Realm!"
Convinced of this, Ye Zhen threw a large number of Low Grade Spirit Crystals into the colored light gate. It absorbed the energy from nearly a thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals, and the light gate brightened, revealing a slowly rotating vortex.
With one step, Ye Zhen’s figure vanished within the vortex of the light gate.
Behind the vortex light gate was a squarely shaped stone chamber. Inside the chamber, other than a statue of a martial artist in the center, there was nothing else.
The statue was very heroic, with its right hand holding a sword hanging low and its left index finger pointing diagonally downward, exuding an imposing aura that looked down upon all surroundings.
