Chapter 230: The Golden-Brick Passage
"Upon entering the stone stele, you’ll encounter trials left behind by the master of the ancient estate. The specifics remain unknown. Based on previous clues, it’s certain there will be dangers, but not to the extent of a life-threatening trap. As long as you remain cautious, you should be fine. Those who successfully pass the trials will gain access to the ancient cultivator's estate. Aside from a few perilous locations, the estate will be open for exploration. How much you gain will depend on your luck and capability. However, if you notice signs of anomalies within the estate, retreat to the entrance immediately. Otherwise, even I may not be able to save you…"
These were the parting words transmitted by Che Yutao to Qin Sang before they entered the black hole.
The presence of dangerous areas within the ancient estate was something Qin Sang had anticipated. Though their exact locations were uncertain, one could sense their presence from the power of the barriers and protective arrays guarding them.
What, then, did Che Yutao mean by "anomalies"?
Perhaps even he wasn’t entirely sure.

Once all the Foundation Building disciples were sent into the black hole, the five Core Formation Realm cultivators exchanged glances. Sikong Muyue spoke firmly, "The barriers we encounter differ from those faced by the younger generation only in strength. The principles governing the barriers’ changes remain consistent. By now, everyone should be familiar with the array we just used, correct?"
The elder Di Que chuckled hoarsely. "No need to trouble Fairy Sikong further. The Nine Radiant Galaxy Array is hardly a challenge for us old folks."
Ignoring Di Que’s laughter, Sikong Muyue cautioned, "Our trials will differ from those of the juniors, and the difficulty will match the strength of Core Formation Realm cultivators. According to the clues, the trials won’t be simple. I urge everyone to remain vigilant."
