The old monk, leading Ye Wutian, made their way deep into the monastery. After traversing several halls, passing a forest of pagodas, and entering a remote valley, they soon came upon a majestic structure.
Two towering cliffs tightly flanked the building, resembling a gate. The three-meter-tall door in front of them was the sole entrance through this narrow gorge.
The old monk halted in front of the gate, turned back to Ye Wutian, and said, "This door is the only entrance to the Inner Hall. Beyond it lies the Formation of Eighteen Bronze Figures. Only by breaking through this formation can you proceed further. Clan Leader Ye, please think it over carefully before acting."
Ye Wutian glanced inside and replied, "Understood, you may go, old monk." With that, he stepped through the gate.
The moment Ye Wutian entered, the doors closed behind him with a creaking sound, and the surroundings turned pitch black.
