Chapter 463: The Name That Surfaced in the Broken Memory (1)
In the Ten Realms Rift, Li Yu and the others arrived at the so-called Heroic Spirit Peak without any obstructions.
Of course, their success was not because the Ten Realms Rift was peaceful, but because they were too powerful.
On the way, they encountered ignorant creatures who basically died in the hands of Changjiang No. 7 and Huang.
Even those terrifying spatial storms and chaotic laws were no threat to Li Yu and the others.
Furthermore, many cultivators who had always been hidden in the Ten Realms Rift and specialized in hunting outsiders were so frightened by the powerful auras of Li Yu and the others that they did not dare to show their faces, much less provoke them.
Therefore, even though it was a crack in the Ten Realms for Heavenly Venerable experts, it was like walking on flat ground for Li Yu and the others.
When Li Yu and the others arrived at Heroic Spirit Peak, many people were gathered there, including the Heavenly Venerables who had entered before Li Yu a few days ago.
However, most of them had been cultivating here for countless years or had never left since the last time they entered.
They only had one goal to ascend the Heroic Spirit Altar and enter the Heroic Spirit Temple to obtain the inheritance.
Even though they had failed time and time again, they were still persistent in believing that they could understand the mysteries and find a way to achieve their goal.
They were the same as those who had once guarded the Gate of Fortune. They treated these mysterious, unknown, and extraordinary ruins as their faith and a platform to defy the heavens and change their fate.
It was like the Luo River and the unknown place on the other side, attracting countless people to want to cross the river and even risk their lives.
Of course, as the third-ranked grotto-heaven, Heroic Spirit Peak was definitely a cultivation Holy Land. Even though most people could only stay at the bottom of the peak, far from the altar at the top.
Only a small number of people could withstand the pressure emitted by the altar and cultivate near it.
However, this place was still superior to most grotto-heavens. Even the bottom edge of the mountain contained rich Dao runes.
This so-called Heroic Spirit Peak was indeed an extremely magnificent and beautiful mountain. However, its mountain seemed to have penetrated the spatial barrier and entered the Ten Realms Rift.
No one knew which world was connected to the bottom of the mountain, nor could anyone pass through the spatial barrier.
On Heroic Spirit Peak was the Heroic Spirit Altar that everyone was fascinated by.
From afar, the Heroic Spirit Altar looked like a majestic pyramid with more than ten thousand steps.
The top of the pyramid was enveloped by seven-colored light, and no one could see what was inside.
“That’s the Heroic Spirit Altar!” Tai Ri pointed at the pyramid-shaped building on the Heroic Spirit Peak.
“The Heroic Spirit Altar we’re looking at now is only its external appearance and not its true appearance.”
“Only those who have truly ascended the Heroic Spirit Altar will know the true scene on it. Only then will they be able to see the Heroic Spirit Temple floating in the seven-colored auspicious clouds above the altar,” Tai Ri continued.
“The moment you step onto the Heroic Spirit Altar, you seem to have entered another world. The surrounding scene has changed completely. You seem to be on a battlefield. The flames of war burn the sky, and blood stains the ground. Countless corpses lie under your feet, and the smell of blood and charred earth fills your nose. Wails and roars fill your ears.”
“The path in front of you is the altar stairs that look like a staircase to the sky. At the end of the stairs is the Heroic Spirit Temple floating above the seven-colored auspicious clouds, emitting a dazzling light.”
However, below the temple, countless ancient gods and soldiers stood in the clouds.
The pressure they emitted was like an invisible and bone-chilling hand that held one’s body tightly in its hand. It squeezed one’s body, organs, meridians, dantian, and even soul.
It was also like a mortal facing the torrential tsunami wave that was rolling towards him.
Furthermore, the higher the altar went, the greater the gravity, and the more compressed the space was, making every step difficult.
When he reached two-thirds of the way, he felt as if he had to use his body to forcefully pass through the thick stone wall.
Furthermore, from the middle of the altar, there would be a powerful heroic spirit or a terrifying primordial murderer guarding every ten steps. You had to defeat them before you could continue forward.
On the last third of the journey, there might be your obsession, desire, greed, seven emotions, six desires, and all the inner demons manifested by fear.
That was the truly terrifying existence and the most difficult one. Of course, the challenges everyone encountered in the last third might be different. In fact, the situation every time the same person encountered it was different.
However, as long as he turned around slightly or took a step back, he would fall from the altar and return under it!
Of course, if he did not turn around and retreat, he might be killed by the guarding heroic spirit and his inner demon.
“Back then, I reached the point where there were only five steps left. I could no longer advance and almost died there…”
At this point, Tai Ri seemed to have some feelings. His expression became complicated, and he even had a lingering fear. However, he did not say what inner demon he had encountered at that time.
Li Yu did not intend to ask further as his attention was almost focused on the altar.
