Lin Feng and the others followed the increasingly deep path as they ventured further into the core area of the Mysterious Forbidden Land. The scenery around them grew more and more bizarre; the once-cracked earth was gradually covered by a layer of shimmering black crystals. These crystals emitted wisps of dark power, yet they trembled slightly as the group approached, as if filled with dread.
As they pressed on, a massive stone gate appeared ahead. The gate was covered in intricate Demon Clan runes that flickered with an eerie light, as though whispering ancient and sinister secrets. Lin Feng stepped forward and tried to push the gate open, only to find that it did not budge at all.
After carefully examining the runes, the Elder took the Dark Codex out from his arms to study and compare them. After a long while, he slowly said, "These runes are a type of combination lock. According to the records in the Codex, we should crack them like this." With that, the Elder formed hand seals, and streams of Spiritual Power shot out from his fingertips, landing precisely upon the runes.
