The Return of Stars to the Jianghu

Chapter 133 Encountering the Demon Clan's Guardian Beast Again, Working Together to Kill It

Near the forbidden zone of death in the central area of ​​the Hundred Thousand Mountains of the Xuan Tian Continent.

"Heavenly Gate, this is Heavenly Gate!" He Shihui said excitedly. The last time he saw Heavenly Gate was when he was a teenager.

"One sword opens the gates of heaven." Bi Li subconsciously uttered these five words, which were widely circulated in the Floating Life Continent.

“That’s right. Back then, I was fortunate enough to watch the battle between the Sword Saint and the Sword Demon with my master. When the Sword Saint and the Sword Demon’s swords clashed, the Heavenly Gate opened. My master, who is now the Sword Immortal Duan Xiuzhang, slashed out with his sword and closed the Heavenly Gate.” He Shihui said with emotion.

"One sword opens the Heavenly Gate, one sword closes the Heavenly Gate, and each sword is stronger than the last. From then on, no one on the Floating Life Continent could open the Heavenly Gate again," Bi Li sighed once more.

"Beyond the Heavenly Gate lies the Path to Immortality, but beyond that lies the Forbidden Land of Death for the Demon Race. I believe the Heavenly Gate opened within this Forbidden Land of Death," Shen Lixi said.

“Last time, Shi Hao, Han Yue, and I narrowly escaped death in the Forbidden Zone of Death. Fortunately, Shen Lixi appeared in time and helped us escape. The Forbidden Zone of Death is just past that mountain,” Luo Yifei said.

"Now that the entrance to the Path to Immortality has been opened, there's no need for us to hold back anymore. Let's head straight for the Path to Immortality. Since it's the Heavenly Gate, the dangers within the Forbidden Land of Death shouldn't affect us anymore," Song Han said calmly.

Everyone nodded and followed Song Han toward the Heavenly Gate. Their hearts were filled with anticipation and excitement, as if they could already see the end of the path to immortality, where everything they longed for lay.

Passing through the Heavenly Gate, they arrived at a strange space. Everywhere was shrouded in white mist, as if they were in a sea of ​​clouds. They felt as if they were in a giant maze, surrounded by a thick white mist, making it impossible to see the path ahead.

"Is this the Path to Immortality? Why is it all foggy?" Shen Lixi asked in confusion.

"This should only be the entrance to the path to immortality. The real path to immortality is probably deeper inside. This mist is likely a test for us. Only by passing the test can we continue forward," Song Han explained.

Everyone nodded in agreement. They knew the journey ahead would be even more difficult, but they were prepared.

They began to proceed cautiously through the white fog, each step fraught with uncertainty and danger. However, they did not falter; instead, their determination to move forward only strengthened.

As time went by, they gradually adapted to the environment in the fog. They began to discover that there seemed to be some kind of pattern hidden in the fog, and that as long as they mastered this pattern, they could easily pass through the fog.

After a period of exploration and experimentation, they finally found a way to pass through the fog. They began to speed up their journey, hoping to reach the depths of the path to immortality as soon as possible.

However, just as they were about to pass through the fog, a sudden, violent tremor struck. The entire space began to shake violently, as if something terrifying was awakening.

"Oh no, danger!" Song Han shouted, simultaneously activating his inner energy to prepare for the impending danger.

Everyone prepared for battle, knowing that what followed would be a life-or-death struggle.

As the tremors intensified, a colossal figure gradually emerged from the mist. It was a gigantic demonic beast, radiating a terrifying aura that seemed capable of devouring everything.

"This is... the guardian beast of the demon race!" He Shihui exclaimed.

"A guardian beast? It seems that passing the path to immortality won't be easy for us," Song Han said in a deep voice.

They knew that this guardian beast would be the greatest obstacle in their path. Only by defeating it could they continue on their way.

Everyone channeled their inner energy, preparing for a life-or-death battle with the guardian beast. Their eyes were filled with determination and courage, as if they were ready to face any challenge.

The battle was about to begin when the guardian beast let out a deafening roar and pounced towards the group. It was incredibly fast, like a bolt of lightning streaking across the sky.

Song Han and the others dared not be careless, and they all activated their true energy to meet the attack of the guardian beast. In an instant, the entire space was filled with powerful true essence and true energy, as if it would tear this world apart.

After a fierce battle, the group finally found the guardian beast's weakness. They combined their strength and struck its vital point. The guardian beast let out a piercing scream, and its massive body began to dissipate.

"We did it!" Luo Yifei shouted excitedly.

"Don't be too happy yet. This is just the first test on the road to immortality. There are many more challenges waiting for us," Song Han reminded him.

Upon hearing this, everyone's smiles faded, and they became serious again. They knew that the journey ahead would be even more difficult, but they were prepared.

They continued onward, passing through the vast white fog. Within the fog, they saw many strange sights, as if they were in a mysterious world.

The group passed through the mist and arrived at a valley surrounded by ten great mountains, which was the forbidden land of death for the demon race.

Looking up, an oval-shaped door stands upright in the sky. Through this heavenly gate, you can see islands floating in the air in another world.

"Look quickly, aren't there two figures on either side of the Heavenly Gate? Look closely, the light from the Heavenly Gate is too bright, obscuring their figures," Ji Mi said.

“Look, there seems to be a cloud of black mist on the ground in the middle. Could it also be a portal to another dimension?” Bili said.

"Don't get excited, there's no one there, you might be mistaken. And you, there's no black mist, it's so far away, it might just be a puddle of water," Song Han said to Ji Mi and Bi Li.

The others remained silent, clearly having also seen the figures beside the Heavenly Gate and the black mist in the center of the valley.

Song Han's words did not dispel the doubts of the crowd. They all focused their gaze, trying to see more clearly. Sure enough, as their vision gradually cleared, the two figures became more and more distinct.

"There really is someone!" Luo Yifei exclaimed.

“Moreover, that black mist is definitely not water,” He Shihui said with certainty.

Seeing this, Song Han stopped insisting on his opinion. He took a deep breath and said, "It seems our previous guess was right. The path to immortality is indeed full of unknowns and dangers. Those two figures and that black mist may be obstacles on our way."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. They knew that the journey ahead would be even more arduous, but they also understood that only by forging ahead could they realize their dreams of cultivating immortality.

“Let’s go. Whatever lies ahead, we’ll face it together.” Song Han took the first step forward, his voice firm and powerful.

Seeing this, everyone followed suit. They knew that only by uniting as one could they overcome the difficulties ahead.

As they moved forward, the two figures and the black mist grew closer and closer. They could clearly see that the two figures appeared to be a man and a woman, standing there silently, as if guarding this forbidden land of death.
