I have a city in another world

Chapter 6999 The Unopenable Passage Gate
During their journey, they encountered several explorers.

They looked at the Wrathful Flame Wizard, realized something was wrong, and all showed wary expressions.

Some explorers received advance notice but did not act rashly.

They remain on the sidelines, waiting for a decision from higher authorities.

Led by the Wrathful Flame Wizard, they finally arrived at a dead end, where a heavy runic gate blocked their path.

Dozens of large tents have been set up along this passage, housing explorers.

Judging from the signs of life, they had been staying here for a long time. There were also many sophisticated devices placed in the passageway, which were probably used to study how to crack the secret room.

When explorers are trying to unlock secret realms, they not only rely on experience and magic, but also need to use various specialized equipment.

The higher the level of the escape room, the more specialized equipment is required, and the higher the cost is often.

If a novice explorer encounters this kind of mystery, they are often at a loss.

When discussing compensation terms, Olivia's strongest desire was to obtain a set of professional tools.

For explorers, having a set of professional tools is what makes them true professionals.

"The exploration of the secret realm ends here. Since the gate ahead cannot be opened, we cannot go any further."

The Wrathful Flame Wizard's journey has been described throughout, but not in its entirety.

Answer only what is asked, and never say anything more than what is not asked.

He has been doing his best not to reveal important information about the secret realm, so he still has some conscience.

Little did he know that what he considered extremely important was insignificant in Tang Zhen's eyes.

With his extensive knowledge base, Tang Zhen was able to draw inferences from one instance to another, and his judgments were more comprehensive and accurate than those of the exploration team.

At this moment, he became even more certain that this secret realm contained important items, most likely the remains of a god.

Tang Zhen might not be interested in other items, but the remains of a deity are an exception.

By exploiting the rules to break the artifact, one can crush and decompose the remains of gods, extracting the precious divine essence from them.

This item is considered exclusive to gods and has no use for ordinary cultivators and mortals, but it is extremely precious to Tang Zhen.

He had previously researched how to obtain more source material to maintain the operation of the rule-breaking artifact.

After some analysis, finding the tomb of the gods and obtaining their remains is undoubtedly the most suitable method.

Like panning for gold in the sand, though it's tedious and yields little, it's still better than getting nothing at all.

For Tang Zhen, this is the best way to obtain the origin of the gods so far.

Before this, Tang Zhen had obtained the remains of a deity, but he had already used them up to almost nothing.

Having experienced the power of the artifact, Tang Zhen even became dependent on it, making it imperative to ensure its proper functioning.

As the driving force behind the rule-breaking artifact, the source is indispensable, and it is also what Tang Zhen needs most at present.

I came to this secret place to satisfy my curiosity, but I never expected to have such a pleasant surprise.

Since that's the case, we can't leave easily; we must find out the truth first.

The leaders of the accompanying exploration organizations stood aside, silently observing with gloomy expressions.

They had initially thought that the secret room they had painstakingly opened was going to be destroyed, and they were prepared to intercept and fight.

Unexpectedly, Olivia completely ignored those secret rooms and had no intention of entering them at all.

The leaders secretly breathed a sigh of relief; as long as the secret chamber remained intact, they wouldn't need to fight to the death.

However, the worries in my heart were not lessened much as a result.

If you're not interested in the secret room, then you must have a higher goal. Could it be something hidden in the deepest part of the secret realm?
The leaders felt a jolt of fear, a sense of unease that quickly turned into amusement.

Reaching the deepest part of the secret realm is a common goal of all major exploration organizations, and they have been trying to achieve it for many years.

However, despite their best efforts, the results were minimal, and every step forward was extremely difficult.

The gate to this passage has taken everyone several years to build, yet it remains stuck at fifty percent completion. If the other party's goal is to enter the depths of the secret realm, they're likely to be in for a major setback.

As professional explorers, they are confident enough that if they can't do it, no one else can either.

Although he didn't say it aloud, he was secretly watching and waiting to see Tang Zhen make a fool of himself.

Olivia stared at the gate before her, deeply shocked; it was the first time she had ever seen such a scene.

If one day I can stand here as an expert, it will be a reward for all my hard work over the years.

However, for a low-level cultivator with no background, reaching this point is extremely difficult.

As the thought crossed her mind, she saw the group of exploration experts from various organizations standing silently to the side.

At this moment, when facing themselves, despite their deep dissatisfaction, none of them dared to show it.

Those exploration experts who she admired and considered unapproachable had to swallow their pride when facing the strong.

Something deep within Olivia's heart seemed to be collapsing; the experiences she had in such a short time were enough to completely change her perception.

Olivia had no idea what to do next.

Fortunately, she didn't need to do anything; she could simply stand quietly and cooperate with Tang Zhen's performance.

Tang Zhen's attention was focused on the door in front of him, and his calm eyes seemed to sparkle like a galaxy.

In fact, at this moment, his vision had changed, and his eyes were filled with Heavenly Dao runes.

This passageway, which had been deciphered for a long time but had never been opened, was full of loopholes in Tang Zhen's eyes.

Cracking the passageway gate was not as simple as it seemed.

If the puzzle cannot be solved successfully, one will be unable to enter the passage and there will be no way to bypass it, which will only lead to a dangerous situation.

Thinking you're being clever by chiseling open the wall to bypass the main entrance and enter the back passage, you're likely to find yourself trapped in an unknown space.

In that situation, life and death would truly be uncertain.

The secret realm itself is a semi-independent space, so it is not difficult to create some spatial traps by utilizing the existing environment.

It's even possible that the passageway could be completely shifted, making it virtually impossible to find again.

If that were the case, it would be a case of trying too hard and making things worse.

The actions of that group of exploration experts left clear traces in the field of vision, which Tang Zhen could see clearly.

Although they have made some progress, they have actually chosen the wrong direction, which explains why they have made no progress for so long.

In fact, from the very beginning, the exploration experts chose the wrong direction, and no matter how much effort they put in, they got nowhere.

Perhaps one day they will realize their mistake, but everything will have to start all over again.

Activating the rule-based vision consumes precious essence, which is definitely not something done out of curiosity or play.

Tang Zhen was going to personally open the gate to this passage, leading all the way to the deepest part of the secret realm.

As Tang Zhen manipulated the portal, light flickered and various runes appeared.

The onlookers were immediately startled upon seeing this.

They immediately realized that this was likely Tang Zhen's doing, using an unknown method to break through the passage gate.

Cracking the secret realm is no child's play; the slightest carelessness can lead to problems and unpredictable, dangerous consequences.

The group of exploration experts were extremely annoyed, fearing that Tang Zhen's actions would affect the previous progress.

If years of hard work were to go down the drain due to an amateur's mistake, they would be truly frustrated and heartbroken.

"Stop it! Do you know what you're doing?"

One of the exploration experts couldn't help but shout out, trying to stop this reckless act of deciphering.

However, as soon as he said it, he looked astonished and stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

After years of hard work with no progress, the rune array has actually made a small step forward!
