We stopped and stared ahead, and saw a tall black stone door slowly appearing in front of us.
The stone door was engraved with complex runes and patterns, exuding a palpitating aura.
"This is...?" I asked in surprise.
"This is one of the portals to hell, and it is also a place where the Sky Burial Technique may exist." Qin Wuyan's voice contained an unconcealable excitement.
We stood quietly in front of the huge black stone door. Countless complex runes and patterns seemed to tell an ancient and mysterious history, and every mark contained profound power.
I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in my heart. This place was undoubtedly the boundary connecting the two worlds.
Qin Wuyan took a deep breath, then slowly stretched out his hand and touched the cold and hard stone door.
His eyes shone with a complicated light, as if he was talking to every rune on the stone door.
"Every rune here contains powerful power. We need to find the right way to open this door." He turned to me and said with a hint of unquestionable determination in his voice.
We began to carefully study the runes on the stone door, trying to find the key to open it.
Time passes quietly, the shadows around us seem to be observing our every move, and there is a suffocating pressure in the air.
Just when we were at an impasse, the girl who mysteriously disappeared before appeared next to us again, with the light of wisdom shining in her eyes.
"Let me help you." She said softly, then walked to the stone door and gently put down her palm.
As the girl's hand touched the stone door, a strange light flowed from her body, along her arm, and slowly integrated into the stone door.
Those complex runes seemed to be activated and began to shine with a blue light.
We held our breath and watched this scene intently.
Suddenly, a dull roar sounded, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing the world on the other side.
There was a strong smell of yin and decay, and even the air seemed black.
"Go in, the answer you are looking for is inside." The girl turned her head and said to us with a smile.
Her voice is full of mystery and depth, making it irresistible.
Qin Wuyan and I looked at each other, then clenched our weapons and took steps forward.
We know that entering this door means that we will face countless unknowns and dangers.
But in order to find the Heaven Burial Technique and save Grandpa's soul, we have no choice.
With a dull roar, we stepped through the ancient stone door, and a completely different world appeared in front of us.
The air here is thick and muggy, smelling of sulfur and scorched earth, surrounded by twisted rocks and barren landscapes, and distant cries of chaos and pain.
We realize that we have entered limbo.
Everything here seems so strange and terrifying, and every place has an aura of danger.
Qin Wuyan and I looked around vigilantly, ready to respond to possible threats.
We continued to move forward, and the deeper we went, the weirder the scenery around us became.
From time to time there are some vengeful spirits and evil things that appear. Their eyes are full of madness and cruelty, as if they will pounce on us at any time and tear us apart.
We can only rely on the Taoism and magic weapons in our hands to protect ourselves, and move forward while fighting.
At this moment, Qin Wuyan suddenly stopped, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"The soil and rocks here are somewhat different from the hell scenes recorded in our Dao Sect." He whispered, frowning.
I walked up to him and observed my surroundings.
Indeed, everything here is more dangerous and chaotic than imagined, and every place is full of unpredictable dangers.
We continued to move forward cautiously, paying attention to what was going on around us every step we took.
Although the limbo area is vast, every inch of the land is full of deadly threats, and we must remain highly vigilant at all times.
As time goes by, we gradually feel tired and depressed.
The air here seems to be getting heavier and heavier, and every breath becomes difficult.
However, we know that we cannot stop. Only by continuing to move forward can we find clues to the Sky Burial Technique and save grandpa's soul.
Just when we were exhausted, a wide area suddenly appeared in front of us. There were deep cracks on the ground, and hot breath continued to pour out of the cracks.
We stopped and looked around cautiously.
Suddenly, there was a violent vibration, and then, a huge monster slowly crawled out from the cracks in the ground. Its body was covered with thick scales, and its eyes were like burning flames, full of violence and bloodlust.
There was a violent vibration beneath our feet, and the entire ground seemed to tremble under its weight as the giant monster slowly crawled out of the cracks.
This monster is called the "Nightshade Beast". Its skin is covered with thick scales, and its eyes are like burning coals, exuding a ferocious and wild light.
It is one of the guardians of Limbo and is said to have intelligence similar to humans.
"Who dares to step into this land of immortality?" The Nightshade Beast's voice was like an ancient roar, and there was a strange humanity in its words.
Qin Wuyan and I looked at each other and realized that we couldn't reveal our identities easily.
I quickly recited a Taoist spell to hide our two auras, making us look like wandering spirits here.
"We are just two lost souls, looking for a way across this land." I tried to make my voice sound hollow and trembling, like the undead.
The eyes of the Nightshade beast stared at us closely, as if to see through our disguise.
Its gaze made people feel a deep chill, but in the end it seemed to believe our words and slowly moved away to make way for a path.
"Pass it, but remember, this land is not friendly to any living thing, especially to wandering souls like you." There was a hint of warning in the voice of the Nightshade Beast.
We cautiously walked along the path vacated by the Nightshade Beast, full of anxiety about the unknown we were about to face.
The edge of hell is a strange and huge world.
I discovered that it actually has its own ecosystem. Every piece of land and every hill here is composed of undead and resentment.
Soon, we came to a desolate village. The buildings here were old and dilapidated, and there was a cold atmosphere surrounding it.
Walking into the village, we saw the so-called residents - all undead, with transparent bodies and no luster in their eyes, as if they were forever trapped in their own world.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, we still maintain the disguise of Taoism.
