Chapter 217: Soul Binding Star Array
Be it, Lin Hao or Ye Xiao, they could not understand what was going on. Why they could not get near the Golden Gate no matter how much they walked.
He tried to investigate many times with his divine sense but failed to find anything that could help him solve the strange thing that was happening with them.
"Sigh! Young people these days are really anxious to solve everything in hurry!"
Suddenly, Ye Xiao heard a very familiar voice in his mind. It was the voice of Divine Soul Emperor Dragon.
"Do you have any idea what is going on here? Why can"t we get near the Golden Gate?" Hearing the voice of Divine Soul Emperor Dragon, Ye Xiao immediately asked about the solution.
From the tone of Divine Soul Emperor Dragon, Ye Xiao knew that it had some idea of what was going on here and why he and Lin Hao could not get near the Golden Gate?
"If it was anyone here who is not an Immortal, they could not get near the Golden Gate no matter how much they would have tried! But it is different with you being here!"
Divine Soul Emperor Dragon started to tell Ye Xiao how to get near the Golden Gate. It said, "This place had a law supporting it. I will not tell you what laws are because they can only be comprehended by an Immortal. If you can become an Immortal, you will know about laws on your own."
"Now, let me tell, how to get near the Golden Gate. If you continue to walk, you will never get near the Golden Gate no matter how much you walked. It is fortunate that your soul has evolved and you have the divine sense now."
"There are only two ways following which you can get near the Golden Gate. The first one is that you must have comprehended any type of law and the second way is to must have divine sense."
"You just need to release your divine sense and push open the Golden Gate. If you do this, the law here will be broken and you can easily get near the Golden Gate. The law here is only to restrain people from getting near the Golden Gate, but it can not restrain one"s divine sense!"
The Divine Soul Emperor Dragon explained to Ye Xiao how to open the Golden Gate. Ye Xiao took a long breath and said with a sigh, "So that"s how it is!"
"What?" Lin Hao was confused when he heard Ye Xiao sighing.
"I think I know how to get near the Golden Gate and open it!" Ye Xiao replied to Lin Hao while looking at the Golden Gate.
"How?" Lin Hao again asked.
"You will know in a while. Wait here!"
Saying this, Ye Xiao sat down cross-legged and released his divine sense and extended it toward the Golden Gate. To his surprise, he felt his divine sense getting near the Golden Gate. There was no obstruction, his divine sense immediately reached the Golden Gate and enveloped it.
With a slight push, the Golden Gate started to open slowly with a cracking sound. Not long after, it was completely opened.
With the opening of the Golden Gate, Ye Xiao and Lin Hao both found themselves in front of the gate. Turning their head, they found no long straight road.
It was surprising but now, they were used to it. both of them looked at each other and entered the Golden Gate.
After entering the Golden Gate, both of them saw a big altar. An old man was sitting on his knees at the center of that alter with his eyes closed. Both of his hands and legs were chained with some sort of red energy. There was also a thick strand of red energy coming out from the old man"s heart that was connected to an array above his head.
This array was very big and each thick strand of red energy was connected with this array. This array was in the shape of a star.
"Soul Binding Star Array!"
Ye Xiao was shocked when he looked at this array. It was one of the most horrifying arrays that he knows.
This array was specifically used to bind a person"s soul and not only this, but this array also tortures the soul of the corresponding person for the period of time they were sealed.
According to the old man, he has been sealed here for hundreds of thousands of years already. It means he was also tortured for hundreds of thousands of years.
What was more terrifying was that his soul was actually being tortured for all these times.
Even after this, he managed to remain alive till now. It could be seen that this old man was no normal person.
"Hehe, I never thought that a little brat like you from the lower realm can recognize the array that is sealing me here for hundreds of thousands of years. It is really surprising!"
When Ye Xiao said out the name of the array, the old man slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ye Xiao in surprise, then he started to laugh.
Ye Xiao looked at the old man. He felt although the old man was sealed here, he was still powerful enough to kill him and Lin Hao with a single move. Lin Hao also felt the same.
"I am familiar with this array because I have seen it before. But this Soul Binding Star Array that is binding the soul of senior here is much more profound than the Soul Binding Star Array I have seen!"
Ye Xiao immediately made an excuse so that the old man can not see through him.
This array was the same as the Illusion Formation he had seen before. It was more profound than what he got from the memories of the Ancient Formation G.o.d.
According to him, this kind of arrays or formations were still locked and will be opened only when he will achieve the required cultivation level.
