333 Any Ideas? (1/2)

This time, it was an enormous mountain that extended for several hundreds of kilometers. Around the mountain, there was nothing more than emptiness, it was obvious that this Realm only extended that far.

When Krune's group passed through the door, they noticed that behind them, there was no opening anymore. Still, cultivators and demon beast kept appearing one after another. Krune tried to go back through the location that he came, but there was nothing but the air there.

”It is as Ricarte mentioned, the realms wouldn't allow you to go back at some point. I just didn't expect it to be this soon.”

Everyone also noticed something else.

”Divine Sense is being extremely restricted in this place.”

Krune nodded.

”Indeed. I can't see more than 3km around me. Also, we better be prepared because there is a chance that several Realms, if not all of the next ones, will have the same effect.”

Krune's group and everyone else then started to explore the mountainsides without entering the void. But the outside of the mountain seemed to be completely empty. A few minutes earlier, they received the information that a cave entrance was found not too far from where they are.

Arriving there, Krune noticed that all cultivators and demon beasts were gathered once more. It's not that they were afraid of entering, but because they couldn't. In front of the cave, there was a seal preventing anyone from passing through.

Krune asked everyone to take a safe distance to try to use his Jade Slip once more. But then one of the cultivators waiting said.

”I think it is not the issue. This Seal will be opened in another way.”

Krune and the others looked at him, puzzled.

”Well, touch the seal, and you will understand what I mean.”

Krune noticed that a few of the earlier ones were also doing that. His group then touched the Seal, and sure enough, a stream of information flowed inside their soul.

”Only once everyone in this Realm is gathered, shall this Seal be removed.”

They immediately understood why the Jade Slip would be of no use here.

Joiu pondered a bit and then said.

”That makes sense. There are only 18 Jade Slips, but there are a lot more realms than that. How would the cultivators and demon beasts that don't have a Jade Slip proceed forward? The Realm also has its own ways to allow everyone to pass through since it was obviously created to support a lot of them.”

Krune nodded.

”Indeed. That house that exploded before. Maybe there was another way to activate that explosion as well. It's just that since I had the Jade Slip, it opened straight away. Let me see if this Seal can be opened with the Jade Slip as well.”

Krune brought his Jade Slip forward, but this time, the Seal had no reaction what so ever.

”Seems like we need to wait for the rest to gather here, then.”

The information soon spread to the others who were exploring outside. More and more cultivators and demon beasts started to gather in front of the Seal. Around one hour later, just when a solo demon beast arrived, the Seal started to shine.

Everyone felt a chill of their backs and immediately ran far away from the Seal. No one wanted to be close if this thing decides to explode as well. But in the end, the Seal in front of the door disappeared. Krune's group and the others came back once more... slowly. When then finally got in front of the cave, no changes happened at all.

”Well, I guess we can just enter.”

Usually, the greed ones would have rushed inside, but it seems that the last house explosion helped them to cool down their heads.

The cave entrance was enormous, so everyone could pass without any struggle. All the teams continued forward until they reached a bifurcation. There were no Signs, Seals, Formations, or whatever. But everyone soon noticed another thing.

”The Divine Sense is even more restricted here, I can't see more than a single kilometer ahead now.”

Obviously, the cultivators and demon beasts would need to choose their own paths without the Divine Sense help.

Rarol then sent a Divine Sense message to their group.

”Right side. I feel like the left will not have a nice outcome.”

No one asked any questions, and they immediately entered the right entrance. The majority of the Demon Beasts and Cultivators ended following Krune's group, but a few decided to try their luck and entered left.

Krune's group continue forward for a few minutes when suddenly, they felt the cave tremble! Everyone immediately raised their energy barriers and got ready for any situation. However, nothing happened after that.

Dilo looked at his group and the commented.
