Just as Yu Luo had anticipated, the vermilion palace gates were enveloped by a formation. To her surprise, however, this formation was based on the arcane arts of the Eight Gates, expanding from eight gates to sixty-four, and then further multiplying into four thousand and ninety-six. Each layer grew exponentially, nested a full nine layers deep. For Yu Luo, this was far too simple; yet the fact that such a simple formation appeared in an extraordinary place reeked of bizarreness on every front. Holding the Invoking Moon Sword in her hand and still feeling uneasy, she had Liuli, Yuliu, Xiaoxie, and Kun Sang guard her flanks, and stepped directly into the Gate of Life.
The next instant, Yu Luo found herself in a stone chamber. The room was completely empty, with the door standing wide open to reveal eight identical stone chambers outside. They shared the same grey-white floors and walls, yet their exteriors boasted magnificent glazed eaves, tiles, and deep crimson, translucent pillars.
Just as Yu Luo wanted to closely study this unprecedented type of stone, a wave of dizziness suddenly washed over her. Looking up, she saw the architecture outside the door slowly beginning to move as if alive. To be precise, the stone chamber she was in was rotating to the right, and its speed increased with every building it passed. At the same time, the Eight Gates represented by the eight buildings in front of her were constantly shifting.
