The Gate of the Mysterious Realm

Summary

Shu You Jin and his companions, Shi Mu and Cai Er, find themselves at the entrance of a dark passage, confused about what lies ahead. Shi Mu attempts to use his supernatural sight but discovers that the passage is protected by runes and a strange force. Cai Er, however, sees a light at the end, indicating a stone chamber where the treasure vault is likely located. As they cautiously proceed, they realize they are trapped in a formation, having only moved a short distance despite their efforts. Shi Mu deduces that they cannot escape by brute force without sealing the treasure away. He notices engravings on the blue bricks that hint at a way out, linked to Lord She Jun, an ancestor of Shu You Jin's clan. Following these engravings, they manage to reach a layer of light that leads them into an octagonal chamber with eight stone doors. Cai Er cannot discern which door leads to the treasure, but when Shu You Jin uses his blood to open one door, it triggers a mechanism that opens the other doors, revealing a figure that turns out to be Lord Ye Mo Zi, causing panic among the group.
