This eerie scene tightened the young man's heart again, and he clenched his teeth, running past the stretch of bamboo forest to the sacrificial altar, where Black Cat and Liuli were already waiting.
Upon the stone wall, the Despair Sword, slanted and embedded within it, made him freeze on the spot.
"She... where is she..." the young man asked hoarsely.
Black Cat glanced to the side, where a colossal gateway nearly nine feet tall stood.
But that gateway seemed not to be passable—it was like an embellishment carved onto the stone wall—a massive stone, known as the Dragon Severance Stone, had sealed it shut. Intricate carvings adorned the stone door, and anyone who looked would not believe it could ever be opened.
"This is a connected formation." Black Cat touched the huge Fire mark on the stone wall, "Chi Fire is the source. Once this symbol is lit, Mysterious Qi will surge towards the patterns on the stone door, and the gate will open."
