Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 132 The Core Secret of the Reversal Ruins

The image of sealing the forbidden gate kept flashing through Zhang Peng's mind. The ancient runes and the placement of the artifacts seemed to hint at something. While fending off the attacks of the black-robed man, he carefully observed the environment of the stone chamber, trying to find clues related to the image. Suddenly, he discovered that the runes around the crystal ball on the stone platform had a subtle connection with the arrangement of runes when the forbidden gate was sealed in the image.

"Could it be..." A bold guess surged in Zhang Peng's mind. He concentrated his mind, mobilized the power of the four divine artifacts, and tried to inject the power of the artifacts into the runes on the stone platform in the way shown in the video. In an instant, the runes shone brightly, and a powerful force surged out from the stone platform, resonating with the spiritual power of Zhang Peng and the others.

The black-robed men sensed something amiss, and their attacks became even more frenzied, attempting to halt Zhang Peng's movements. The leader of the black-robed men rapidly formed hand seals, summoning a black light barrier that enveloped Zhang Peng. Zhang Peng felt the immense pressure contained within the light barrier, but he did not retreat. Instead, he unleashed the power of his divine artifact to its fullest extent, using its multicolored light to counter the black light barrier.

Li Ming was engaged in fierce combat with the other men in black robes. Although his swordsmanship was sharp, the constant stream of enemies was gradually making him feel overwhelmed. "Zhang Peng, hurry up! I can't hold on much longer!" he shouted.

Lin Wan'er and Su Yao were also locked in a fierce battle. Their spells were constantly draining the black-robed man's power, but their own spiritual energy was also rapidly depleting. "We can't hold on much longer!" Su Yao said anxiously.

Zhang Peng gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength to activate the resonance between the divine artifact and the runes. Just as the black light curtain was about to envelop him, the runes on the stone platform suddenly burst out with a dazzling light. This light, like a sharp sword, instantly pierced through the black light curtain and shot towards the man in black robes.

The men in black robes watched in terror as the light approached. They tried to dodge, but the light seemed to be locked onto them, following them like shadows. When the light struck the men in black robes, it produced a violent roar, and their bodies dissipated, turning into wisps of black smoke.

"We did it!" Li Ming shouted excitedly.

With the disappearance of the man in black robes, the tense atmosphere in the stone chamber finally eased. Zhang Peng and the others collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"Zhang Peng, how did you do that?" Lin Wan'er asked curiously.

Zhang Peng wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained, "I discovered that the runes on this stone platform are related to the runes used to seal the Forbidden Gate, so I tried to activate them with the power of the divine artifact, and I didn't expect it to actually succeed. The power in these ruins seems to be the key to maintaining the seal of the Forbidden Gate."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood. They stood up and looked at the crystal ball on the stone platform again. This time, the crystal ball's light had softened, as if it were waiting for their next move.

Zhang Peng stepped forward and gently touched the crystal ball. Suddenly, an image reappeared in the crystal ball, and this time, the image revealed an even more astonishing secret.

In the video, a mysterious woman appears in a dark space, holding an ancient book that emits a faint glow. She opens the book, revealing the true secret of the Forbidden Gate: it is not merely a gate connecting different worlds; it also seals an evil will capable of overthrowing the entire cultivation world. This will originates from a great war in ancient times, and the cultivators of that era used four divine artifacts to seal it behind the Forbidden Gate to prevent its spread.

However, as time went by, the power of the seal gradually weakened, and the mysterious organization discovered this secret. They attempted to gather the divine artifacts, open the forbidden gate, release the evil will, and thus rule the entire cultivation world.

"So that's how it is..." Li Ming said in shock. "We must find a way to strengthen the seal and not let the mysterious organization succeed."

Zhang Peng nodded, his gaze resolute: "That's right, we need to find a way to strengthen the seal. There must be other clues in these ruins."

So, the group began to search the stone chamber carefully. They discovered that the walls were covered with ancient characters and patterns, which seemed to record information related to the seal. Zhang Peng and the others gathered around the walls, studying the contents intently.

After much effort, they finally found a key passage: to strengthen the seal, they needed to use the four divine artifacts as a conduit to inject pure spiritual power at the summit of the mountain where the forbidden gate was located, thus activating the ancient rune array.

"It seems we'll have to go to the Forbidden Gate," Zhang Peng said.

Everyone was well aware of the dangers of this journey, but they did not hesitate in the slightest in order to protect the cultivation world. After packing their belongings, they left the ruins and headed towards the mountain where the forbidden gate was located.

Along the way, they traversed dense forests and climbed steep mountain peaks, finally arriving at the foot of the mountain where the Forbidden Gate was located. Looking up, the mountain peaks soared into the clouds, shrouded in mist, and the Forbidden Gate was hidden atop the peaks, exuding a mysterious and dangerous aura.
