NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1311: Hall Master!
The so-called Wutong Enlightenment Platform is an incredibly perilous gorge.
When Zhou Yu followed the Pill God Temple disciple here, even he was stunned by the scene before him.
What lay before them was a massive gorge, a hundred meters wide.
As if it had been split open by some kind of world-shattering force.
Scattered across the gorge were various weapons; though none were divine weapons nor sharp tools, each one bore the passage of time, instilling a sense of reverence.
The walls on both sides of the gorge were covered with marks of varying depths.
Seemingly hacked open by some kind of weapons.
The entire gorge gave off a feeling of desolation and mystery.
Seeing Zhou Yu's reaction, the Pill God Temple disciple proudly said:
"Mr. Zhou, this is the Wutong Enlightenment Platform."
"You must be curious why this place is called an enlightenment platform, given that it's clearly a gorge, right?"
Zhou Yu nodded.
"I am indeed very curious."
The disciple said excitedly:
"That's because there was once a gigantic Wutong tree here, beneath which lay a Mystic Jade Platform. Ten thousand years ago, a predecessor of our Pill God Temple secluded himself for cultivation on that Mystic Jade Platform, ultimately breaking through the Emperor Realm to reach the legendary Ancestor Realm."
"At the moment he broke through to the Ancestor Realm, he casually swung his hand and slashed this bottomless gorge."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu's eyes were filled with deep shock.
Ancestor Realm?
This was the first time he'd heard of an expert at such a terrifying realm.
Unexpectedly, the Pill God Temple had once produced an expert of the Ancestor Realm level.
It was truly incredible.
Seeing the shock on Zhou Yu's face, the disciple became even more excited.
"Later, that Ancestor Realm expert from our Pill God Temple sat here and passed away. Before his death, he dissolved his physical body and merged his Primordial Spirit into this gorge."
"In the ensuing ten thousand years, every expert from our Pill God Temple above the Emperor Realm who sat or died would choose the same method."
"Over time, within this gorge, countless Emperor Realm level divine souls have condensed into various martial arts concepts, making it the best trial ground for young Martial Artists to comprehend the Emperor Realm."
"In nearly a thousand years, only the top disciples of our Pill God Temple have had the chance to enter here, and without exception, they all became Emperor Realm Martial Artists."
"Therefore, this Wutong Enlightenment Platform ranks within the top three blessed sites among all hidden world forces."
Hearing the disciple's introduction, Zhou Yu immediately showed intense interest, and deep anticipation arose in his heart.
Soon, under the disciple's lead, Zhou Yu arrived at the entrance of the gorge.
Upon reaching here, the disciple stopped.
"Mr. Zhou, here's the entrance. Beyond this, I cannot enter."
"You must proceed on your own."
"How much martial arts intention you can comprehend depends on you."
Zhou Yu cupped his fists and said:
"Thank you."
The disciple smiled slightly and retreated.
Zhou Yu stood at the entrance of the gorge, gazing at the misty gorge. Then he adjusted his state, lifted his foot, and stepped inside.
Boom!
At the instant Zhou Yu stepped into the gorge.
He felt as though a gigantic wave, hundreds of feet tall, was crashing fiercely toward his Sea of Consciousness.
The terrifying impact almost made Zhou Yu kneel immediately.
Although Zhou Yu barely managed to stay standing, more terrifying waves came one after another.
Zhou Yu felt like a little stone on the beach, about to be swept away by the surging waves at any moment.
This terrifying pressure left Zhou Yu's entire body tense, with joints cracking audibly.
This kind of pressure would crush a typical Third Grade King Realm expert into oblivion.
But fortunately, Zhou Yu's physical body and Primordial Spirit were strong, so he withstood this first wave of impact.
Subsequently, he was immersed in some kind of wonderful intention.
His expression changed from difficult and painful at the beginning to becoming gradually peaceful...
Meanwhile, outside the gorge, atop a high building.
An ancestor and a young woman in a black robe stood on the rooftop.
They were looking in the direction of the gorge.
From their perspective, they could just see Zhou Yu stepping into the gorge step by step.
At that moment, the ancestor expressionlessly asked:
"Hall Master, the Wutong Enlightenment Platform is the core secret location of our Pill God Temple. Why are we allowing an outsider to enter it this time?"
The black-robed young woman, who was the hall master of the Pill God Temple.
Her face was hidden by the large black robe, making it impossible to see her appearance.
Although her figure was petite.
She exuded an aura that made people feel awed.
The hall master said calmly:
"Ancestor, I've already spoken to you about this."
"Now is not the time to disclose; eventually, you will know."
The ancestor, seeming not to hear, continued.
"Hall Master, could it be that you have some connection with this Zhou Yu?"
"Or, do you know his teacher or elder?"
"If so, you can say it outright, and I will fully support you in bringing them all into our Pill God Temple."
"After all, Zhou Yu is indeed a rare genius."
Upon hearing this, the hall master suddenly turned her head to look at the ancestor with icy eyes.
"Ancestor, there's no need for probing!"
"Some things cannot be known to you now."
The ancestor took a deep breath and said:
"Hall Master, it's not that I'm being troublesome."
"It's just that Zhou Yu's entry into the Wutong Enlightenment Platform has caused significant dissatisfaction within the hall."
"If there isn't a reasonable explanation to quell this discontent, what actions they may take are uncertain."
Upon hearing this, the hall master coldly laughed.
"Are you threatening me?"
In an instant, a terrifying killing intent from the hall master enveloped the ancestor.
The ancestor's expression changed, then he bowed deeply and said:
"I dare not."
"Better not."
"Go down; don't worry about matters here. As for anyone wanting to stir up trouble, let them try, if they dare!"
The hall master's tone did not fluctuate at all.
Hearing this, a faintly discernible coldness flashed in the ancestor's eyes, then he retreated.
The hall master looked at the figure within the gorge, murmuring:
"After all these years, you... finally arrived..."
