Chapter 310: Chapter 306: Dark Gate

SIZZLE! SIZZLE!

This was the Thunder Light Tunnel. Flashes of electricity danced around, shrouded in a hazy purple mist, and Ye Xing found himself standing right in the middle of it.

"Wh-where is this?" Ye Xing was completely dumbfounded; he’d even jumped in fright when he first arrived.

In the past, stepping through the Purple Light Teleportation Gate from the Martial Arts Continent always sent him directly to Earth. The reverse was also true; going from Earth would take him straight to the Martial Arts Continent.

In other words, the Purple Light Group originally just transported him between the Martial Arts Continent and Earth. But now, after stepping through the Purple Light Group Teleportation Gate, he had appeared inside this Thunder Light Tunnel.

The Thunder Light Tunnel seemed to be an independent space, belonging to neither the Martial Arts Continent nor Earth.

’This change must have been caused by me refining the Purple Light Group.’ A glint appeared in Ye Xing’s eyes as he quickly scanned his surroundings. He soon spotted two Light Gates nearby and let out a huge sigh of relief. ’Thank goodness it’s not a sealed space. You scared me for a second—I thought I was going to be trapped here!’

Inside the Thunder Light Tunnel, there were two Light Gates, one blue and one green. The closer one was an Aqua Blue Light Gate, and Ye Xing could sense it led to Earth. The slightly more distant Forest Green Light Gate led to the Martial Arts Continent. Having these two Light Gates meant Ye Xing could still travel between Earth and the Martial Arts Continent. On top of that, he now also possessed this independent space, the Thunder Light Tunnel.

The Spiritual Qi within the Thunder Light Tunnel was incredibly abundant, clearly far more potent than a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure like the Thunder Heart Spring Wood. If he were to practice his Cultivation here, his Cultivation would definitely advance by leaps and bounds.

’I really want to sit down and start my Cultivation right now, but I should go back first. I need to let Mom and Dad know I’m safe.’

With that thought, Ye Xing immediately started walking toward the Aqua Blue Light Gate.

Just as he was about to step into the Aqua Blue Light Gate, Ye Xing’s gaze shifted. He suddenly sensed something and looked toward a spot not far ahead.

One look was all it took. He froze, his eyes widening as he stared blankly ahead, his gaze filled with utter shock.

There, in the hazy mist at the far end of the Thunder Light Tunnel, a third Light Gate had appeared.

Yes, a third Light Gate!

It was a Dark Light Gate, pitch-black and gloomy, as if it were a terrifying black hole in the Cosmos, swallowing all the light around it.

’Wh-why did a third Light Gate suddenly appear?’

After snapping out of his daze, Ye Xing’s eyes filled with astonishment. He felt both pleasantly surprised and deeply apprehensive. ’The first Aqua Blue Light Gate leads to Earth. The second Forest Green Light Gate leads to the Martial Arts Continent. This... this third Dark Light Gate looks terrifying. Where could it possibly lead?’

Ye Xing was overcome with curiosity, an itch he couldn’t scratch. He impatiently started walking forward along the Thunder Light Tunnel.

As he continued forward, the pressure from the lightning grew stronger and stronger, forcing Ye Xing to use his True Essence Power to resist it.

The lightning’s pressure inside the Thunder Light Tunnel was not uniform. At the tunnel’s starting point, near the Aqua Blue Light Gate leading to Earth, there was almost no pressure at all. Then, by the second gate—the Forest Green Light Gate leading to the Martial Arts Continent—the pressure was slightly noticeable. The further he went, the greater the pressure became. By the time he reached the third Dark Light Gate, Ye Xing had to circulate his Innate Skill at full power just to withstand the immense force.

"Haha, almost there!"

He kept pushing forward, his steps growing heavier. With great difficulty, he finally made it to the Dark Gate.

Just as he was about to enter, a terrifying aura washed over him. Ye Xing’s expression changed drastically. He slammed on the brakes, his eyes filled with terror as he stared at the Dark Gate before him.

The Dark Gate was pitch-black and profound, radiating an aura of deathly silence. It was like a slumbering primordial beast, exuding a terrifying danger that made one’s heart pound.

From a distance, he hadn’t felt much. But now, standing right before the Dark Gate, Ye Xing felt a chill run up from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. His heart began to pound in his chest.

’What’s going on? Why does this Dark Gate exude an aura of deathly silence, without the slightest hint of life-giving Spiritual Qi?’ Ye Xing’s brows furrowed, his expression turning solemn.

There were three Light Gates in the Thunder Light Tunnel. The first, the Aqua Blue Light Gate, emanated an aura of life-giving Spiritual Qi. The second, the Forest Green Light Gate, also radiated life-giving Spiritual Qi, as well as Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. Furthermore, its aura was vaster and purer than the first, likely because the environment of the Martial Arts Continent was much better than Earth’s. However, the third gate, the Dark Gate, had no life-giving aura at all. It didn’t even have the slightest fluctuation of Spiritual Qi. There was only an aura of deathly silence, like a slumbering Demon, filling one with dread.

’Damn it, where in the world does this Dark Gate lead? Should I go in or not? This is killing me! Should I go in?!’ Ye Xing scratched his head, completely torn.

’If I go in, this Dark Gate has a terrifying, deathly aura. God knows what dangers are inside. I can’t just gamble with my life. But if I don’t go in, this fire of curiosity is burning so brightly. The itch is unbearable; I can’t just walk away.’

"Forget it, I’ll flip a coin. Whether I go in or not, I’ll let fate decide! If it’s heads, I’ll go take a look. If it’s tails, I won’t." Ye Xing immediately took a coin out of his pocket.

He placed the coin on his fingertip and flicked it with his thumb. With a DING, the coin spun into the air before landing back in his palm. Ye Xing opened his hand to look.

"Huh, it’s heads. I guess that means I’m going in to take a look!" Ye Xing’s gaze shifted to the Dark Gate and its terrifying aura. He couldn’t help but shrink back and mutter sheepishly, "Ha, that one didn’t count. One more time. This one will be for real!"

So, Ye Xing tossed the coin into the air again. He opened his hand and looked.

"Tails! Haha, it’s tails this time. See? Why should I go in? It’d be terrible if I lost my life over it. Besides, even without the Dark Gate, I can still travel between Earth and the Martial Arts Continent and do just fine. Why take the risk?" Ye Xing immediately turned to leave. Yet, he kept glancing back every few steps. Eventually, he stopped walking away and just started pacing around the Dark Gate.

He paced back and forth, unable to bring himself to leave.

This was the most conflicted Ye Xing had ever been in his entire life. He paced for more than half a shichen.

"The Aqua Blue Light Gate leads to Earth, the Forest Green Light Gate leads to the Martial Arts Continent! Aaargh! Where the hell does this damned Dark Gate lead?!"

"I just have to know where this damn Dark Gate goes! Forget it, I’m going for it! I’ll just go in and take a peek! If there’s danger, I’ll retreat immediately. That should be fine, right?" Ye Xing took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and shouted, "Hiyah! Hah! I’m not scared!"

After shouting, he felt a little goofy, but he was also fully pumped. His courage had swelled considerably, so he puffed out his chest and strode boldly toward the Dark Gate.
