The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

Li Muchen followed Gong Yuerong closely, passing through the mysterious passages of the Divine Palace. Strange runes were flashing everywhere, and some slight humming came to his ears, as if an ancient and primitive life was singing.

Suddenly, a magnificent gate appeared before our eyes.

Li Muchen was stunned for a moment, because this door was so similar to the door to the secret realm under the White Mountain.

“Shen Guang…”

He looked up and saw two words on the door.

Both doors lead to Shen Guang. Is this a coincidence or the work of a saint?

"What did you see?" Gong Yuerong suddenly asked.

"A door." Li Muchen said.

"A door?" Gong Yuerong's expression was a little strange. "How interesting!"

"Why do you say that? Isn't this the Gate of Trial? Isn't what you see a door?" Li Muchen asked curiously.

Gong Yuerong smiled and did not answer. She just said, "Then go in. But you must understand that once you step through this door, you will face the test of death. The loser will sink into the Dead Sea forever and never come out again."

The door is tall and heavy, like a towering mountain that stretches before your eyes, exuding an awe-inspiring atmosphere. The door is engraved with ancient seal characters - Chen Guang, the characters are vigorous and powerful, containing endless power, and every stroke is a mark of ancient times.

Li Muchen took a deep breath, reached out and pushed the door gently. The door made an ancient and heavy creaking sound, like the friction of rust that had been there for thousands of years.

A faint light shone through the crack in the door.

Li Muchen stepped in without any hesitation.

He couldn't help but wonder, would the back of the door also have the words "Ghosts and Gods are forbidden to enter" written on it, just like the back of the door in the Baishan Secret Realm?

So he turned back to look.

But when I turned around, I found that the door was gone.

Then, the light receded like a tide, the colors quickly disappeared from sight, and darkness surged in with an overwhelming attitude.

Li Muchen only felt that his eyes went dark, and his whole body was grabbed by an irresistible powerful force and dragged downwards fiercely.

At first, he could still clearly feel the weight of his body. Every inch of muscle and every bone was bearing the terrible pulling force, as if they were about to be torn apart alive.

But as he sank deeper, this sense of reality gradually disappeared, and he seemed to have turned into a light feather, helplessly floating in the invisible undercurrent. Everything around him became blurry, and he tried to grab something, but found that there was nothing in his hands.

He subconsciously wanted to circulate his true qi, using the power he had accumulated over many years of practice to resist this unknown force. However, the rules of heaven and earth seemed to be completely stripped away at this moment. His cultivation was like being bound by an invisible shackle, his breath became weak and disordered, and his soul seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, becoming sluggish and chaotic. Not only that, his five senses were gradually leaving him, vision, hearing, smell, touch, taste, all slowly dissipated in this endless darkness, he seemed to have fallen into a world that did not belong to him at all, an endless void.

Only some faint lights flashed by.

He looked down and saw a hazy halo. Countless points of light fell like a meteor shower and fell into the hazy halo.

When he looked up, the darkness was as dark as ink, so thick that he could touch it. There was no light, no sound, time and space had lost their meaning here, only an eternal and sinking darkness wrapped him tightly.

“Shen Guanghai?”

Li Muchen was not sure whether this was Shen Guang’s trial or if he had really come to Shen Guanghai.

He could not see his own body, nor could he feel his own existence. It was as if his body, his soul, and even his consciousness were being slowly swallowed up by this dimly lit space.

He frowned slightly, suppressed his fear and anxiety, and tried to let his consciousness go outward to perceive the essence of this world. He could only concentrate all his energy to follow the meteor-like light spots below, chasing them down.

There were more and more light spots, like twinkling stars, slowly surging on the bottom of the sea. However, the gathering of starlight did not illuminate the darkness as he expected, but instead appeared weaker against the backdrop of darkness. They were like stripped souls, struggling desperately to rise in the darkness, but were dragged by an invisible force and sank into the dark abyss bit by bit.

Li Muchen stretched out his hand, trying to catch a spot of light that flashed past him.

The moment his fingertips touched the light, a powerful force suddenly hit his sea of ​​consciousness, like a flash of lightning across the dark night sky, instantly tearing his sea of ​​consciousness apart.

Then, a strange and heavy memory rushed into his mind like a surging tide, throwing his consciousness into chaos.

"The Li family is guilty of eternal sins, and their evil deeds are heinous!"

A majestic, cold voice sounded in my ears.

Li Muchen found himself in a house with broken walls and ruins.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and burning, and the surroundings were in a state of devastation. Broken walls, broken tiles, and charred beams and pillars showed everywhere that this place had just experienced a tragic war.

He was suddenly startled. The courtyard wall, the rafters, the corner of the house, and the osmanthus tree in the yard... How familiar he was with all of these.

Isn’t this the Li residence in Beijing?

In the yard, many people knelt on the ground in unison.

Somehow, he had never seen these people before, but he could recognize them clearly——

Kneeling in the front was his grandfather Li Tiance.

Next to Li Tiance was his other grandfather, Li Youquan, who raised him.

Behind them were uncles, aunts, and cousins... as well as the family's servants and helpers. Hundreds of people were kneeling in the ruins-filled yard, with their heads down, their faces full of fear and despair.

Li Muchen searched the crowd, but couldn't find his father and mother.

Surrounding them were a group of ugly ghost officials with twisted bodies, hideous faces, and a disgusting smell.

In the middle of the courtyard stood a tall chair, on which sat a god dressed in black. The god had a stern face, and his eyes revealed endless majesty and cruelty, as if he was the judge of the world, holding the life and death of everyone in his hands.

The god spoke coldly, his voice echoing in the ruins:

"The Li family is guilty of eternal sins, and their evil deeds are heinous!"

"Sentence you to hell with blazing fire!"

As soon as the words fell, a raging fire suddenly ignited around him, and the flames shot up into the sky, enveloping the entire yard in a sea of ​​fire. Screams and cries intertwined together, as if it was a tragic song of a miserable world.

Seeing this tragic scene, Li Muchen felt heartbroken.

"stop!"

He wanted to argue with the gods. What crime had the Li family committed to deserve such suffering?

When the firelight illuminated the face of the god hidden in the darkness, Li Muchen suddenly recognized that this was Pluto.
