Chapter 324 – Endless Glacier
More and more people started arriving. The gates of life and death caused everyone to furrow their brows. Everyone could clearly see behind what laid behind the Gate of Life, it was full of vitality. Green hills and clear waters were everywhere, and bright light shone in all directions. The atmosphere seemed peaceful and calm.
As for the Gate of Death, dead spirits and ghosts wandered about. The eerie aura leaking out from the Gate of Death was enough to frighten everyone. Just looking at it made most feel as if they were having a nightmare.
In order to proceed further, they had to pass through either the Gate of Life or the Gate of Death, it resembled the nine paths before this.
The nine paths had stopped all warriors under 30, who would this Gate of Life or Death stop? Or, were there any dangers behind each gate? No one knew.
“The atmosphere behind the Gate of Death is austerely eerie, it’s really frightening. In such a situation, the Gate of Life is the obvious choice. My guess is, there will be some surprise treasures behind the Gate of Life. As for the Gate of Death, it will definitely lead us to an extremely dangerous situation. I’ll choose the Gate of Life!”
Some warrior said. After that, he started sprinting towards the Gate of Life. He passed through the gate in the blink of an eye, and disappeared from everyone’s eyes.
“I choose the Gate of Life as well. The Gate of Death looks incredibly terrifying, I can even feel my soul trembling when looking at it. If I pass through that gate, those dead spirits will most likely tear me apart.”
“Precisely, it must be the Gate of Life! With such a vibrant energy, I’m sure there are some treasures lying around.”
Many peoples started walking toward the Gate of Life.
“I’m sure it isn’t as simply as what we see. Sometime, life means death and death means life. It’s just a difference in thought, perhaps the more dangerous path is the Gate of Life. I’ll choose the Gate of Death.”
A daring man passed through the Gate of Death, and he too disappeared from the eyes of everyone present after passing through the gate. Looking at it from the outside, the eerie atmosphere was extremely power, and dead spirits were still lingering around. The man, however, was nowhere to be seen.
Many people had already made their choice. Most of them picked the Gate of Life, and only a handful of daring warriors passed through the Gate of Death.
“Little Chen, which gate are we choosing?”
Han Yan looked at Jiang Chen.
“These gates aren’t as simple as they look. Honestly, this Island of Ice is a training ground for warriors of the younger generation. Therefore, both gates are sure to have a certain degree of risk and opportunity. A Buddhist once said, ‘place someone on a field of death and he will fight for his life; to experience a true transformation, one mustn’t be afraid of the slightest thing; he has to experience life and death.’ If my guess is correct, this is the true meaning behind the gates of life and death. Therefore, I think we should choose the Gate of Death.
Jiang Chen said.
“Precisely! If a warrior has no fear of death, there is nothing else he would have to fear in this world; this is a profound mentality. I agree with what Little Chen said; place someone on a field of death and he will fight for his life, this is the true meaning of the gates. Furthermore, I don’t think the Gate of Death will lead us to death, and I don’t think the Gate of Life will lead us to a good life.”
Nangong Wentian nodded his head. He sincerely agreed with Jiang Chen’s opinion.
“Let’s choose the Gate of Death then.”
Big Yellow said, tail wagging. He was someone who feared absolutely nothing, so he was not scared of the Gate of Death.
Right before the group were about to step into the Gate of Death, Jiang Chen threw his glance next to the Gate of Death. To his surprise, he found that another illusionary gate had suddenly appeared. The gate hovered in the air, and was barely visible. Above it was a huge illusionary character, 【虚 - Void】.
“Gate of Void, there is another gate here.”
Jiang Chen said in a surprised tone.
“Another gate?”
Nangong Wentian and Han Yan looked in the direction Jiang Chen was looking, but, they saw nothing. Not even a strand of hair could be seen, let alone another gate. Big Yellow too couldn’t find anything; it was just an empty space. There were only two gates in front of them, not three.
“Little Chen, is something wrong with your eyes? Where is the third gate?”
Han Yan said in a sarcastic manner.
“You guys can’t see it?”
Jiang Chen stared blankly at the, he was seriously shocked. He could clearly see the Gate of Void in front of him, but Han Yan and Nangong Wentian couldn’t see it. Even Big Yellow couldn’t see it, why was that?
“Little Chen, did you really see another gate?”
Nangong Wentian was surprised.
Jiang Chen nodded his head in a serious manner.
“Why can only you see it, but not us?”
Big Yellow was puzzled as well.
Buzz…
When Jiang Chen looked at the Gate of Void, he could clearly hear a buzzing sound coming from it. An ice-cold aura was being emitted from beyond this gate, which caused him to tremble. But at the same time, Jiang Chen sensed the ice-cold aura calling for him.
“I’ve sensed this calling even before I came to this Island of Ice… what exactly is calling for me?”
Jiang Chen was really surprised. He made up his mind, he wanted to enter this Gate of Void. He was the only person who could see this gate, that’s why he had to enter it and find out exactly what had been calling for him all this time
Nangong Wentian, Big Yellow, and Han Yan were still trying hard to find the gate. But, none of them could find anything. In the end, they concluded that if Jiang Chen was the only person who could see this gate, then it must be because there was a problem with his eyes.
But all of them knew Jiang Chen had an eagle sharp eyesight, therefore, there really was a gate of void here, and Jiang Chen was the only person who could see it.
“Little Chen, don’t tell me you’re going to enter the Gate of Void?”
Han Yan asked.
“Precisely what I’m going to do.”
