Chapter 970 - 869: Purely Luck?
Certainly! Here's the translated text:```html
Each martial artist held their breath as they watched Baili Fox lead them quickly past, bypassing the piles of corpses that appeared nearly every ten meters.
Looking at those corpses, fear gripped each of their hearts.
However, the martial artists did not ponder what made those corpses different.
Each martial artist present was extremely cautious; they didn't want to lose their lives here.
At this moment, Ling'er informed Duan Gujin with good news; she sensed an extremely powerful Divine Weapon power nearby.
But that great power was inside the stone wall to the left, and Ling'er couldn't pinpoint its exact location.
Duan Gujin had previously tried with all his strength, but couldn't push open the stone walls with the runes.
Now, hearing Ling'er's words, he suddenly felt he had been too focused on advancing, forgetting to pay attention to the runic stone walls.
"What kind of array is this exactly?"
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, and he immediately conducted a Divine Sense inspection into the Luminous Pearl he had taken from above the corridor.
He inspected its interior with Divine Sense, and after a while, his eyes suddenly brightened.
"I remember now, this array seems to be the Ten Thousand Soul Gathering Array, which collects the soul power of living creatures to create an independent space! This independent space can be compared to a Secret Realm!"
Duan Gujin suddenly understood, recalling the Death Sky Formation he had encountered earlier.
Both the Death Sky Formation and the Ten Thousand Soul Gathering Array were designed to devour the soul power of living creatures.
"No wonder the iron gate had the words Thunder Sect Secret Hall written on it; this really is the secret hall!"
Duan Gujin realized, now understanding the true meaning of the words 'secret hall'.
"Is there a Secret Realm inside this place?"
His eyes gleamed as he considered this possibility.
After a while, he sensed the runes around the corridor dimming down, and creaking sounds echoed in the corridor.
He frowned, realizing something might be wrong here.
He quickly tried to run out of the corridor at high speed, but the next moment, he noticed the runes on one side of the stone wall starting to disappear.
After the runes vanished, he saw a huge Space Crystal Wall appear in front.
Along one side of the corridor, the runes disappeared revealing a long and narrow Space Crystal Wall.
Seeing that narrow Space Crystal Wall, Duan Gujin immediately considered a possibility.
"Could it be that inside this Space Crystal Wall is the Secret Realm?"
He exhaled a deep breath of foul air, viewing the interior of the Space Crystal Wall with his Divine Sense.
After a while, he sensed that the interior of the Space Crystal Wall was a stable independent space.
"I'll go in and take a look!"
He took a deep breath and quickly used a Secret Technique to break open the Space Crystal Wall.
A moment later, he broke through the Space Crystal Wall ahead and entered the world inside.
He opened his eyes, seeing a majestic city appearing ahead.
It was a city with white walls inside and out, surrounded by various plants and a giant lake.
Duan Gujin looked around and quickly saw other martial artists.
Initially, he suspected those martial artists ahead could be transformed by Illusion Technique.
But after a while, he realized they were not transformed by Illusion Technique.
"Mo Yan, Mo Yan, how did you guys get in?"
Duan Gujin shouted loudly.
Mo Yan and the others heard Duan Gujin's shout, each looking serious. They extended their Divine Sense outward to confirm whether the Duan Gujin in front of them was real or fake.
After confirming Duan Gujin was not an illusion, they replied to him, "We saw the runes in the corridor disappear and then came in! Brother Duan, did you unlock the mechanism inside the corridor?"
"You could say I unlocked it unintentionally; I took down the Luminous Pearl from above the corridor."
Duan Gujin showed them the Luminous Pearl he had taken down.
Seeing that Duan Gujin really had taken down the Pearl, the martial artists immediately thought it was truly he who had unlocked the secret of the corridor.
"Turns out the eerie corridor was all about removing a single Luminous Pearl!"
They had traveled a long way, only to see piles of corpses along the way.
When they thought they had entered an Illusion Array, suddenly, they saw the runes on the stone wall around them disappear.
After the runic stone walls disappeared, a narrow Space Crystal Wall was exposed ahead.
The crowd immediately thought they should pass through the Space Crystal Wall and explore the world inside.
Once inside, they saw a giant white city ahead and heard Duan Gujin's shouts nearby.
"Who would have thought, to break the array here, one must remove the Luminous Pearl from above the corridor!"
On hearing this, the group thought for a while and felt Duan Gujin was truly lucky.
"Damn! He's really lucky to have solved the mystery of the corridor this way!"
Many martial artists thought to themselves.
They attributed the unlocking of the Thunder Sect Secret Hall by Duan Gujin to luck, not connecting the Death Sky Formation and the dead bodies seen earlier.
They did not realize that Duan Gujin's unlocking of the corridor was not purely due to luck.
"Then let's proceed; ahead, the white castle should be the Thunder Sect Secret Hall!"
Many martial artists cried out excitedly.
"Yes, yes!"
The crowd immediately moved towards the direction of the castle ahead.
They released their Divine Sense, discovering they couldn't use it for inspection here.
Though wanting to fly, they realized there was strong Forbidden Space Power present.
They could only be doubly cautious, not daring to be negligent, as no one wanted to end up like the corpses they had seen before.
They advanced five kilometers before approaching the white castle.
Outside the white castle, they saw many white statues, resembling various Demon Beasts.
Initially worried the statues might be connected to an array, they inspected them thoroughly and only exhaled a sigh of relief once confirmed they were merely statues standing there.
"This place is very eerie!"
A martial artist remarked.
The martial artists present nodded, all aware they were in a very peculiar independent space.
Evidently, to uncover the truth, they must enter inside to find the treasures hidden within.
Just as the crowd was about to enter, suddenly, they heard a commotion behind them.
"Something's up!"
The crowd immediately felt fear, preparing for battle to ward off potential attacks.
After a while, they clearly saw what was causing the commotion behind them.
It was another group of Ascension Academy disciples searching for treasures.
"Hey, people ahead, are you Ascension Academy disciples?"
A martial artist shouted loudly.
"Yes, we are. Friends ahead, when did you come in?"
Another martial artist responded.
"We just came in; what's your situation?"
A martial artist from Duan Gujin's side inquired.
"We were transported here by a transmission energy; we don't know what exactly happened."
The martial artist responded.
