Immortality Cultivation: I can use my clansmen’s energy and blood to add points.

He paused, his eyes sweeping over the shadow where the mantis monster had just appeared. "Those monsters were probably attracted by the energy fluctuations before the star crystal's upcoming 'pulling' or the 'world gate' opened. This means that this process will never be peaceful, and may even be accompanied by huge risks."

Lin Wan'er also calmed down and agreed, "Senior Brother Luo is right. We can't just see the hope and ignore the potential dangers. Moreover, even if the gate to the world is opened, how can we ensure that it leads to where we want to go?"

Su Xiaowan's face also fell: "Ah? So complicated..."

Luo Qingchen pondered, his fingers unconsciously stroking his chin, his brain working rapidly.

"Xiao Wan, try again," Luo Qingchen looked at Su Xiao Wan again, "Can you get more specific information from that 'whisper'? For example, about the specific direction of the 'coordinates'? The specific time and place of the opening of the 'World Gate'? Or... is there any way to influence this process?"

Su Xiaowan said with a bitter face: "Brother Luo, my head almost exploded when I heard it just now, as if countless needles were stabbing me. If I hear it again... I'm afraid..."

Luo Qingchen looked at her pale face and the fear in her eyes, and his heart softened. Indeed, forcibly interpreting such a vast amount of energy information would be a huge burden on the soul, and it was already very difficult for Su Xiaowan to hear those key words.

"Sorry, I was impatient." Luo Qingchen slowed down his tone, "You should take a rest first and recover your spirit."

He turned to look at Lin Wan'er and said, "Wan'er, let's find a more secluded and safer place nearby. Since this place may become the center of the opening of the 'Gate of the World', I'm afraid things will not be peaceful in the future. We need a temporary base for observation, recovery, and response to possible changes."

"Okay." Lin Wan'er nodded and began to carefully search the surrounding terrain.

Soon, they found a naturally formed cave under a mountain wall a little further away from the lake. The entrance of the cave was covered by dense vines, and the interior was dry and ventilated, with enough space to accommodate several of them.

After settling the still unconscious Bailing'er on the soft hay laid out deep in the cave, the three of them took turns guarding the cave entrance, regulating their breathing and recovering while paying close attention to the movements in the direction of the lake.

Time passed slowly, and the light in the forest flowed with the brightness and darkness of the luminous plants, as if experiencing a unique alternation between day and night.

During this time, Luo Qingchen tried to use his spiritual sense to detect the "whisper" of the star crystal again, but the result was the same as Su Xiaowan's. He could only feel a vast and chaotic torrent of information, which he could not effectively interpret. It seems that in order to understand this level of energy communication, he either needs a specific medium, such as Su Xiaowan's tortoise shell, or a spiritual power far beyond his current realm.

After Su Xiaowan regained some energy, she reluctantly tried to "listen" a few more times. However, perhaps because of the wrong method or because of too much energy consumption, she failed to obtain any useful information. Instead, she exhausted herself and finally fell asleep hugging the turtle shell in a huff.

Lin Wan'er carefully treated their wounds and tried to use Tianyuan spiritual power to stimulate some harmless plants nearby to build a more concealed defense. She found that the wood spirit here was unusually active, and her magic was more effective.

In the seemingly calm waiting, the three people all have a heavy heart. Hope is in front of them, but the unknown and danger are also around.

After about one "day", that is, after the light in the forest completed a complete cycle of light and dark, the energy fluctuations in the direction of the lake began to show obvious changes!
The originally regular and gentle "starlight whisper" suddenly became rapid! The light emitted by the huge star crystal in the center of the lake became brighter and brighter, and the stars inside it flickered violently as if boiling!
The surface of the entire lake began to ripple with circles of energy, and the surrounding star energy was madly sucked into the crystal!
"It's coming!" Luo Qingchen suddenly opened his eyes, stood up with a serious expression, and looked towards the direction of the lake.

Lin Wan'er also immediately stood up and woke up the sleeping Su Xiaowan.

"Woo...what's wrong? Is dinner ready?" Su Xiaowan asked in a daze, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"No! Look over there!" Lin Wan'er pointed in the direction of the lake.

Su Xiaowan looked in the direction she pointed, and immediately all sleepiness disappeared!

Above the lake, the originally dense star mist began to roll and rotate violently, forming a huge vortex! In the center of the vortex, the space began to twist and wrinkle, presenting an extremely unstable state!
Tiny space cracks constantly appear and disappear in the center of the vortex, emitting heart-pounding space fluctuations!

At the same time, the light of the star crystal reached its peak! It suddenly emitted a humming sound that seemed to come from the ancient times! An extremely bright and condensed column of starlight shot up from the top of the crystal and fiercely slammed into the space vortex above!
Boom! ! !
A loud noise like the creation of the world was heard! The space vortex suddenly expanded under the impact of the starlight column! A circular light gate with a diameter of dozens of feet and flashing colorful lights slowly condensed and formed in mid-air!

Inside the light gate, there was deep and boundless darkness, and countless stars could be vaguely seen speeding through it, as if it was connected to the other end of the universe! An indescribable, vast and desolate aura of space permeated from it!
"Gate to the World!"

This thought flashed through the minds of the three people at the same time! It really opened!

However, along with the opening of the world's door, there is not only the dawn of hope, but also... the increasingly intensive roars and howls coming from all directions of the forest!

Roar! Ouch! Chirp!
Various strange and violent roars came one after another, and the ground began to shake slightly! Countless figures, big or small, emitting strong or weak fierce auras, were pouring out from the shadows of the forest, underground caves, and even some twisted energy nodes!
Their target was the newly opened World Gate that was emitting a great deal of spatial energy! And the Star Crystal located below the World Gate, which served as the energy source and beacon!

"Not good! It's a beast tide!" Luo Qingchen's face changed, "The energy fluctuations caused by the opening of the World Gate have attracted all the ferocious beasts and monsters in this area!"

The area around the lake was filled with darkness! The mantis monsters we encountered before were just minor characters. At this moment, there were even larger and more terrifying creatures everywhere!

There are four-legged beasts as big as hills, covered with thick rock shells, and breathing sulfur with every breath! There are invisible ghosts floating in the air, their bodies are like twisted shadows, constantly sending out mental attacks!

There were even some deformed monsters with chaotic star energy wrapped around them, which were obviously the result of erosion and mutation from the energy in Guixu!

Thousands and thousands of them! Covering the sky and the earth! They rushed towards the lake like a tide, with greed and madness flashing in their eyes, wanting to rush into the Gate of the World or devour the Star Crystal!
"Oh my god! So many monsters!" Su Xiaowan was so scared that her face turned pale. She hugged the tortoise shell tightly and hid behind Luo Qingchen, trembling. "We...we will be crushed, right?"

Lin Wan'er also had a solemn expression, and the hand behind Bai Ling'er subconsciously tightened the hilt of the sword. Even if they were in their prime, they would probably find it difficult to confront such a large-scale beast tide head-on, not to mention that they were now in a foreign land and their strength had not yet fully recovered.

"We can't let them get close to the World Gate!" Luo Qingchen's eyes were determined. "Once we let these monsters rush in, the consequences will be disastrous! Moreover, if they destroy the star crystal, the World Gate may close immediately or even collapse!"

That door is their only hope of returning home! They must not lose it!
"But... so many..." Lin Wan'er looked at the herd of beasts that were surging like a black wave, her voice a little difficult.

Luo Qingchen's eyes quickly swept across the battlefield, his brain working rapidly. Fighting head-on is a dead end, we must find a way! His eyes fell on the star crystal that was still continuously supplying energy to the World Gate.

"Got it!" Luo Qingchen's eyes flashed, "Wan'er, Xiaowan, listen to me! Although these monsters are attracted to the World Gate, they seem to be afraid of the power of the Star Crystal itself! Especially those monsters that are obviously dark in nature!"

He pointed to the center of the lake: "Let's go to the Star Crystal! With the help of the pure star energy emitted by the crystal, we may be able to form a barrier to block the impact of most monsters! Then, find a way to enter the World Gate as soon as possible!"

"Go to the crystal?" Su Xiaowan looked at the crystal that exuded a vast pressure and felt a little scared. "Will it not knock us away too?"

"There's no time to hesitate now!" Luo Qingchen said in a deep voice, "Trust me! Follow me!"

After saying that, he no longer hesitated, and the power of chaos was running to the extreme. His body was as fast as lightning. He was the first to rush out of the cave and flew towards the center of the lake!

Lin Wan'er gritted her teeth, carried Bai Ling'er on her back, and followed closely behind!

"Wait for me!" Su Xiaowan held the turtle shell and rolled and crawled to catch up.

Their actions immediately attracted the attention of the beast tide! Some of the monsters that were closer immediately turned around and rushed towards the three of them with roars!
"Get out of here!" Luo Qingchen didn't even turn his head back and slashed with a sword!
The gray chaotic sword energy was like the scythe of the god of death, instantly chopping the flying monsters in the front into nothingness!

Lin Wan'er also took action at the same time. Several emerald green vines broke out of the ground, like flexible tentacles, entwining and binding the monsters that tried to approach from the ground, buying them time!

Su Xiaowan followed suit, raising the tortoise shell again and shouting as she ran: "Turtle Shell Divine Light!"

call out!call out!
Several beams of light intertwined with ochre and silver light were shot out. Although their power was not enough to instantly kill those thick-skinned big guys, they successfully hindered the steps of several monsters and disrupted their formation.

The three of them were like a small boat in the raging sea, dangerously weaving and advancing through the gaps between countless monsters!
The closer they were to the center of the lake, the stronger the energy pressure from the star crystals became! The pure and vast star power washed over their bodies like a substance. Luo Qingchen's chaotic power was fine, and it was tolerant. Lin Wan'er's Tianyuan spiritual power was wood, and it was also friendly to this pure energy. However, Su Xiaowan felt a little uncomfortable, as if she was in a huge purification array, and even the tortoise shell in her arms was flickering.

But at the same time, they also clearly felt that the monsters chasing them, especially those emitting a dark and chaotic aura, slowed down significantly after getting close to a certain distance, and there was obvious fear and disgust in their eyes. They no longer dared to attack as frantically as before!

"It really works!" Luo Qingchen was delighted.

Finally, after paying the price of a few not-so-serious scratches, the three successfully broke through the outer perimeter of the beast tide and arrived at the surface of the lake, only a dozen feet away from the star crystal!
The star energy here is extremely dense, like a viscous liquid! An invisible energy barrier spreads out from the crystal, blocking most low-level monsters with incompatible attributes! Only a few powerful monsters, or monsters whose attributes are not purely dark, can withstand the huge pressure and slowly advance inward!
It's safe for now!
The three of them landed on a reef close to the crystal, barely above the water. They were gasping for breath, and looking at the herd of beasts outside that were charging and roaring like a black tide, they were all still frightened.

“So... so many monsters…” Su Xiaowan patted her chest, her little face still pale.

"Senior Brother Luo, what should we do now?" Lin Wan'er looked at Luo Qingchen, then raised her head to look at the slowly rotating world gate above her that was emitting an alluring glow.

Luo Qingchen's eyes were also fixed on the door. The door had already stabilized and the space channel inside seemed to have been connected, but they didn't know how long the door would be open, let alone where it led to.

"We must find a way to confirm the destination of this door!" Luo Qingchen said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, rushing in rashly may be more dangerous than staying here!"

But how to confirm it? They had no information about the "Gate of the World" and no tools to explore the way.

At this moment, Bai Ling'er, who had been carried on Lin Wan'er's back and in a coma, seemed to be strongly stimulated by the dual energy of the World Gate and the Star Crystal. Her frown suddenly relaxed!
Her tightly closed eyelashes trembled slightly, and the originally dim Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass leaf between her eyebrows actually began to emit a faint and soft golden light!

Immediately afterwards, an extremely pure and noble aura containing the origin of life and the majesty of a true dragon slowly spread out with Bailing'er as the center!
The moment this aura appeared, the beasts that were frantically attacking the energy barrier froze in their tracks! Many low-level monsters even whimpered in fear, crawling on the ground and trembling! Even those powerful beasts showed a look of doubt and fear in their eyes!
Dragon Might! This is the supreme pressure that comes from deep in the blood! (End of this chapter)
