The thought of crossing the city wall while flying did come to his mind but most of the cultivators standing outside the gate could also fly so there definitely was some kind of restriction around the city.

There was a similar pillar beside the entrance where rules and information were written just like the ruins so he decided to read them first.

When he came down, various gazes landed on him.

"Damn... what is a late-stage Core Formation realm cultivator like you doing here?" One of them immediately asked.

It definitely was surprising for them to see such a low-realm cultivator here. Only those who entered at the early stage might be late-stage now and this masked cultivator was definitely one of of them.

Lin Feng didn't pay any attention to the cultivator. This cultivator wasn't from the Yin Yang Harmony Sect or Crimson Flame Palace but nonetheless since he wasn't fond of casual talk, he just ignored these situations.

He made his way to the pillar and read only one line...

'Welcome to the City of Resilience, open the gate to enter inside'

Quite interesting, so to enter you had to open the gate. It didn't seem tough though as there wasn't anything mentioned about the fact that you had to do it alone.

Multiple cultivators might work together to open it easily and it seemed that this group of six cultivators was standing here to gather enough people to open it.

It really was the City of Resilience huh, even six cultivators consisting of early-stage Soul Sea realm weren't able to open it. Well the main ruin was made for mid-stage Soul Sea realm so it was given that other tests were meant for them.

If he thought about himself then his strength was around mid to late-stage Soul Sea. If he had refined his body with chaos qi till now then he would have been even stronger.

He made his way towards the entrance, it wouldn't be a problem for him to open this gate.

When the other cultivators saw this, they just smirked and waited for a good show. They themselves had tried it out of curiosity and none of them were able to even shake it a little much less open it.

There was one thing none of them knew just by reading the pillar, it was that if you failed then you would be struck with lightning, it didn't injure you much as its strength depended on your cultivation realm but it definitely made you numb enough to not even move.

They had fallen into this trap and fallen on the spot after getting struck by it, it was humiliating to say the least but since they all had gone through it, they didn't make fun of each other.

Nonetheless, they would love seeing some more cultivators fall into this trap, it would decrease the shame they were feeling.

Lin Feng arrived in front of the entrance, it was huge to say the least. He put his hand in the middle, where the two parts of the gate met each other and pushed.

He used only half of his strength. Sure enough, the door didn't even budge, he doubted even a mid-stage cultivator could open it alone.

Slowly he started to increase his strength, his viens bulged. This was the first time he was going to use his physical strength to this extent.

He took a small breath and immediately focused his blood qi in his arms and pushed...

TREKKKK

A crisp sound echoed as the gates parted and slowly began opening.

Just hearing that sound was already enough to make the others' jaws drop, they couldn't believe what they had just seen.

Even mid-stage cultivators had to pair up to open it but this late-stage Core Formation realm cultivator opened it alone. Not to mention he only used pure physical strength as they only sensed blood qi. It was also late-stage Bone Reinforcement Stage.

After some time of opening, the gates suddenly stopped moving as if they wouldn't open further, Lin Feng understood that it really wouldn't open even if he applied more strength.

The gates had opened enough to let him pass, so he just entered inside and when he went in, the doors closed shut once again.

The others didn't even try to enter inside as there was another hidden mechanism where only those who had pushed the door were allowed to enter.

They looked at each other for a moment and one of them pointed towards the gate, "Should we try, maybe it has become loose, it might be a hidden benefit we didn't know about..."

Another cultivator thought and nodded, "Let's try together, if it opens then everyone can enter easily, if not..." He didn't finish the last sentence as it was embarrassing.

The others thought for some time and nodded, in the end they all came to the entrance and touched the gates at the same time and started pushing. They all exerted their whole strength but the gate didn't even budge.

They became bitter inside and after looking at each other once again they let go of the gate and the moment they did, the gate lit up with lightning arcs and hit every one of them.

ZAP

"nghh..."

"Mmmm.."

....

All of them fell down like stone statues and stayed on the ground for a few breaths...

Lin Feng turned back when he heard lightning strikes but nothing was visible from this side, he shook his head and looked towards the city.

The houses in the city were quite lavish even in the outer area, it was definitely a prosperous city in past times.

There were fine cuts in the houses as if someone had used a sword to carve on them, outside same cuts were present on city walls . Each and every house he could see had these cuts and they also seemed corroded.

Seeing them he came to a single conclusion that this city belonged to the central region. And it had been shifted here after it had gone through the destruction of spatial and darkness laws.
