Outside the Abyss of the Restricted Zones, the higher officials of the academy looked into the distance.
In the canyon at the end of the plains, they could see the black Qi surrounding it.
"I'm afraid very few would be able to make it out live this time." A high-level official sighed.
"This is the what the Sacred Lands have all decided on. As disciples of the Sacred Lands, they should all put in some effort in return for the resources and benefits they have received from the Sacred Lands. Besides, it's also an opportunity for them, if they are not even daring enough to take risks, how could they become champions?"
"That's true. The cultivators of our generation have been fighting the Heavens for the whole of their lives."
"The Original Qi, the Qi of the Metaphysics bloodline! Anyone who can possess and master it shall have a dominant position in the future!"
The higher officials of the academy looked towards the mountain valley that was shrouded in black Qi, their eyes burning with passion.
Within the Restricted Zones, a group of people entered the opening in the wall of the mountain. The space within the crack was extremely large.
Everyone rushed into it while gasping for breath. At that moment, there were only about seventy people left from the original hundred.
All parties of the Sacred Lands suffered heavy casualties.
The Sacred Sons and Maidens looked terrible, especially Govind. Due to being unfit and hungry, only three out of the ten disciples of the Sacred Land of Nine Palaces Land remained.
"Senior Brother from the Taoist Jade Virtual, thank you." Bethany said as she cupped her fist.
The other disciples of all the other Sacred Lands expressed their gratitude. If it had not been for the Sacred Son of the Taoist Jade Virtual, they would not have been able to find any hope of survival.
After taking a short break, the Sacred Son of the Taoist Jade Virtual pulled out his compass. He looked at it for a while before letting out a sigh of relief.
"It's temporarily safe here. Let's take a break."
Upon hearing those words from the Sacred Son of the Taoist Jade Virtual, everyone was finally relieved. They all began resting and slowly restored their strength.
Henry looked around the space in the mountain, it was damp and smelled musty. There was no obvious source of water, yet it smelled that way. Simply with that information, Henry could confirm that a dense forest lay at the other end of the mountain.
Henry looked at the surrounding stone walls again. The surface of the walls were uniform, and they all appeared smooth and shiny, but the gaping hole seemed irregular.
"They're not man-made, but if they're all naturally formed, how could they all be so smooth?"
Henry thought for a while and came up with an answer.
Gravity!
The force of gravity would appear in the interior of the mountain, and the internal gap was caused by gravity, so the pressure on the surface was the same, resulting in the texture of it to be exactly the same.
Due to the different angles of the mountain, the gap was completely irregular!
Henry took a deep breath. Since gravity existed there, it would not be much safer in any way.
While everyone was resting, Henry had already begun investigating around for an exit.
The inside of the mountain was completely silent. The incident earlier had caused many of their comrades to be sacrificed, everyone was in low spirits, none of them had the desire to say anything.
Only Henry's footsteps could be heard throughout the inside of the mountain.
"What are you doing!? Be quiet!" Govind roared. He was already extremely agitated.
Henry glanced at Govind, but ignored him and continued with his search.
The interior of the mountain was dark, and the visibility within it was very low. Even Henry could only fumble around. The space inside was extremely large, he groped little by little to find a way out.
The space within the mountain was formed by gravity, and it was very irregular. There were many dead ends to it.
Henry would leave a mark on every wall he arrived at.
Time passed by slowly.
"Six thousand three hundred and twenty seven."
Henry silently counted the seconds in his heart.
