Full-Time Magister: Summoning Agumon at the Start

"This door is so big and so heavy, how am I supposed to open it?!" Zhang Xiaohou walked to the door.

He reached out and pressed his hand against the door, pushing it hard, but the door didn't budge.

"The steps here are a bit like the well paintings in our Weiju Village," Fang Gu said after a moment of silence.

"A well water painting?!" Su Xiaoluo was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and looked down at the long staircase, a look of surprise on her face: "It really is a well water painting, no wonder it felt so familiar to me the whole way up."

"Since it's a well water painting, I roughly know how to open it. I'll give it a try." Fang Gu said, taking out a very old bronze mirror from somewhere and looking at it against the bronze mirror on the door.

The bronze mirror on the gate, which resembled an evil eye, suddenly blinked, as if it were a huge eye.

His gaze reflected the five people: Lin Chen, Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, Fang Gu, and Su Xiaoluo.

"call!"

The white gate slowly opened, and the stone figures on both sides of the steps behind it were thus revived.

"Hurry up!" Lin Chen shouted and rushed into the gate first.

Lin Chen and the others entered through the gate and arrived at a gallery. On both sides of the gallery hung many ancient stone paintings from the personal collection of the king. The stone paintings contained traps of the mind and space. If one accidentally fell into the trap of a painting, one would be trapped in it and unable to extricate oneself until death.

After walking through the gallery for a while, the group realized something was wrong. Su Xiaoluo, following ancient teachings, found the key to unlocking the Mind Gallery and entered a stone painting.

As time passed, Su Xiaoluo's eyes regained their sparkle, and a bright light appeared a hundred meters ahead of the Endless Gallery, revealing the exit.

After leaving the gallery, Lin Chen and the others arrived at a palace. The entire palace, like the exterior, was made of white jade. There were pillars on both sides of the main hall, with mysterious patterns carved on them.

In the very center of the main hall stands a stone platform, upon which rests a crystal-clear enchanting lotus, emitting a captivating fragrance.

"This seems to be an immortal lotus. Ancient teachings say that the bridge leading to the altar will only appear when the immortal lotus dies," Fang Gu observed the demon lotus, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"That's easy, just destroy it. I don't believe it can really live forever," Zhang Xiaohou said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaohou began to act. His movements were extremely swift, and in just a few moments, he tore the demonic lotus to shreds.

Before Zhang Xiaohou could say anything, under everyone's gaze, all the fragments of the demonic lotus scattered on the ground floated up and flew back to the stone platform, gathering into a complete demonic lotus.

With Han Ji and Yao Ting's return, the super-level mages who were entangled with the various dead kings also learned that Mo Fan and the others had entered the Abyss of Fiends. They all shook off the dead kings and headed towards the safe barrier.

Before long, all the high-level mages returned to the safety barrier, while HolyAngemon and AncientGreymon stood outside the safety barrier, temporarily blocking the undead army.

Inside the clock tower, while the high-ranking officials were worried about whether Lin Chen and the others could survive and successfully meet the ancient king, Xie Sang, the village chief of Weiju Village, arrived at the Clock Tower Magic Association with a bronze mirror.

On an old table sat a small bronze mirror, about the size of a palm, around which a group of people stood, staring intently at the image reflected in the mirror.

"It really is them! Not only did they survive, but they also successfully reached the ancient king's tomb. It seems that Gudu is saved!" Han Ji shouted excitedly.

"What kind of plant is that that can't be destroyed and keeps regenerating?" the demon man asked anxiously. Judging from the image displayed in the bronze mirror, Lin Chen and his group of five were clearly stumped by this demonic lotus.

"This is the Immortal Lotus, which has been extinct for over a thousand years. To destroy it, you would need the power of a forbidden spell," Han Ji explained.

The front hall of the tomb palace.

Lin Chen frowned as he looked at the Eternal Lotus in front of him. When he first saw the Eternal Lotus, he thought that the treasures mentioned by the system included the Eternal Lotus.

However, when Lin Chen tried to contact the Eternal Lotus, the system ignored him, seemingly disregarding its power.

"Let me try," Mo Fan said, taking the Eternal Lotus in his hand.

Mo Fan did not process the Eternal Lotus in front of everyone. Instead, he led it to a corner of the palace, which made Zhang Xiaohou, Fang Gu, and Su Xiaolu very curious. As for Lin Chen, he already knew what Mo Fan wanted to do.

Not only the three of them, but also the group of mages surrounding the bronze mirror were completely bewildered as they watched Mo Fan walk out of the mirror's field of vision.

Did Mo Fan naively believe that throwing the demon lotus would break the mechanism that had been in place for over two thousand years?

But when Mo Fan reappeared within the range of the bronze mirror, the Lotus of Immortality had completely disappeared. Mo Fan had also successfully advanced to a high-level mage, and a stone door had appeared out of thin air in the palace, allowing Lin Chen and the others to proceed to the next level.

When the mages in the bell tower saw Lin Chen and his companions again, they had already arrived at the Bridge of Nine Deaths and One Life.

"What kind of place is this? There are ten arched bridges, and it seems to stretch on forever."

Zhang Xiaohou looked around and found that, apart from the area where the bridge was located, the surrounding area was filled with black whirlwinds. Anyone who entered it would die instantly. Obviously, only the bridge was safe.

Just as Zhang Xiaohou was about to walk onto the bridge, Su Xiaoluo stopped him and told everyone about the origin of these bridges.

"Nine out of ten chances of dying, that's a very small probability." Zhang Xiaohou felt a chill run down his spine.

"Should we go separately or together?" Mo Fan asked. In his opinion, they should go together. They all came down together, so they should live together or die together.

"Brother Fan, I'll listen to you," Zhang Xiaohou said after taking a deep breath.

"Let's split up. There are five of us, and there are ten bridges here. We have at least a one-in-half chance of reaching the other side," Fang Gu said calmly.

"I'll listen to you." Su Xiaoluo had lost her own opinion; this choice was indeed difficult for her.

"I also think it's better to separate. After all, the ancient capital is already in imminent danger. Having a choice increases the chances of survival. I choose this bridge." Lin Chen said, then selected a bridge in front of him and walked directly onto it.

In the original world, Mo Fan used his strength to open up a dead bridge. Lin Chen felt that his current strength was even stronger than Mo Fan's, so even if he chose the dead bridge, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to open it.

"Then I'll cross this bridge. Good luck to you all, and good luck to me too," Fang Gu said.

"Monkey, Xiao Luo, let's go together." Mo Fan also chose a bridge and walked onto it.
