Chapter 412: Ninety-Nine Passages
The attacking crowd suddenly stopped, each frowning as they looked at the position of the altar.
"Is this the Great Formation?"
"No, I feel it's not the Great Formation."
"With so many of us attacking together, even if it were a Great Formation, it couldn't possibly block our attacks so easily. Not even a crack has appeared in the light curtain!
In this day and age, how could there be such a strong Great Formation?"
Someone quickly made a judgment, whispering: "It seems like it isn't a formation, but rather a rule, a rule of this small world."
"Passage, if we want to kill them, for instance, we could enter through those passages."
Everyone looked towards those transparent passages leading to the altar.
"Let's enter the passage and take a look."
A few anxious cultivators didn't wait for the sect hierarchs of the three great teachings to speak before they flew out first, entering the passage.
Suddenly, after ten people entered one passage, it automatically closed.
Subsequently, another passage also closed after ten people entered it.
"Can't enter anymore?"
"Each of these passages only allows ten people to enter?"
"There are a total of ninety-nine passages here, even if each passage can only accommodate ten people, we can still have nine hundred ninety experts enter. We still hold the advantage."
"Enter the passages."
"Let's have the Immortal Path Domain experts enter first, those in the Indestructible Period and Longevity Period should hold off for now."
Frost Fairy, upon learning that each passage could accommodate ten people, immediately flew out and entered a passage no one had yet traversed.
As Frost Fairy entered, three members of the Long Sky Sect also entered the passage, with Cao Zhen naturally following them.
Behind them, the Ghostly Fire sect hierarch and four other Ghostly Fire experts entered as well.
In the other passages, experts of the Immortal Path Domain also flew into them one after another.
After entering the passage, Cao Zhen proceeded forward along the path, which was actually a transparent light curtain.
The passage wasn't narrow, capable of accommodating five people side by side.
As Cao Zhen entered, he moved forward with Frost Fairy, but after a few steps, Frost Fairy suddenly halted.
In front of Frost Fairy, the end of the passage revealed another layer of light curtain blocking their advance.
The same situation occurred in the other passages; although everyone entered the passage, they still couldn't reach the altar.
They couldn't move forward, nor could they retreat; once ten people entered the passage, a light curtain appeared behind them too.
Now, it's as if everyone who entered the light curtain is trapped within it.
"This passage's light curtain similarly cannot be opened, it's indeed some kind of rule, one we cannot break with our strength."
"What is this now? Are we trapped in this passage?"
"We experts have all entered here; if they attack others or escape this small world, it would be a big problem!"
"Wait, look, they haven't moved yet. Is there a possibility they need to use the passage to leave the altar?"
"But why, when we entered the passage, it can't be opened?"
The people in the passage discussed among themselves; though the passages weren't soundproof, they could still communicate with each other across them.
"Passage, we haven't filled the passages yet."
From afar, someone in the passage shouted to the outside: "The passage only opens after every passage is occupied.
This altar represents certain rules, and regardless of what they are, there can never be a complete dead end; there will always be a way."
There are ninety-nine passages here, each one must have someone enter before they can open."
Once the words fell, the crowd reacted, shouting loudly: "That's right, since there are passages here, the rules won't simply trap people in the passages."
"Everyone, enter and fill these ninety-nine passages!"
With the three great sect hierarchs speaking out, experts from various great teachings entered the passages.
In a flash, all ninety-nine passages were filled with human experts.
As the final passage had ten people enter, suddenly, all ninety-nine passages shook.
Their faces lit up with joy.
"The passages have changed."
"Indeed, I said we couldn't all be trapped here."
As their faces brightened with joy, across from them, the remaining Prison clan members also showed smiles, one of them even laughed loudly: "You guessed right, ninety-nine passages need ten people each to open.
However, you were wrong about one thing; while the passages will open, they won't all open at once, but one by one.
And which passage will open depends on this side's small world, depends on how the altar chooses."
