Battle Through The Heavens Season 5
Ch. 50 - Mysterious Guard Hall

Hu Gan's voice slowly disappeared from the mountain valley. However, there was not the slightest movement from those two gray-robed human figures. As if they didn't hear it.

Although he saw no answer to his words, Hu Gan also did not speak anymore. He maintained his posture by cupping his hands together as he waited quietly.

Behind Hu Gan, Xiao Yan, and the others faced each other after seeing this scene. Even Hu Jia, who had an ungodly character, also wisely shut up. He had never been here before, but he knew that with Hu Gan's status in the Outer Academy of the Jia Nan Academy, there was almost no one who could compare to him. However, he was now courteous in front of these two gray-robed human figures. From here, one could see how terrifying the two grey-robed human figures guarding this ‘Book’ Collection Hall were. He may be breaking the law, but he's not a fool. He knew who he could provoke and who he could not.

In silence, the finger under Xiao Yan's arm suddenly rubbed the dark and black ancient ring gently. His drooping eyebrows could not help, but fused together. This was because he had discovered that ever since the two gray-robed mysterious people appeared earlier, the thread representing the relationship between Yao Lao and himself had completely disappeared. This kind of situation was the first since he came into contact with Yao Lao.

This kind of relationship happens between both sides. However, Xiao Yan did not take the initiative to disconnect. In that case, it was clear that it was Yao Lao who took the initiative to cut him off. Yao Lao had never done such a thing before. Now, however .. Xiao Yan blinked his eyes. He looked at the two gray-robed people in the pavilion as he exhaled calmly in his heart. By being able to cause Yao Lao to become fearful enough to sever all connections, these two people were indeed terrifying. This was worthy of being the Jia Nan Academy, a place where tigers and dragons hid.

The calm atmosphere in the mountain valley continued for nearly ten minutes before the robes of the two gray-robed human figures sitting cross-legged at the main entrance of the hall moved slightly. Immediately, two pairs of calm, old eyes, similar to an old monk, were slightly raised. They indifferently swept Hu Gan and the others one by one before finally and suddenly stopped on Xiao Yan's body. Their gray robes trembled slightly and there was a soft hoarse cry emitted calmly, "Heavenly Fire?"

That soft voice slowly reverberated through the quiet mountain valley, and also clearly entered the ears of Xiao Yan and the others.

"May I know what this young friend's name is?" The gaze of one of the gray-robed men remained fixed on Xiao Yan. There was an accumulated change with time seeping out from within his hoarse voice.

Hearing that the gray-robed person had completely gotten rid of Hu Gan and questioned Xiao Yan instead, everyone in the valley was shocked. Immediately, they turned their heads and looked at Xiao Yan with a strange look. From the respectful attitude that Hu Gan used to treat the two gray-robed men, it was clear that these two people had outstanding positions within the academy. However, Xiao Yan was able to make the two of them slightly interested in him. This kind of treatment caused Hu Jia and the others to be secretly envious.

Xiao Yan was also surprised by the question of the gray-robed person. He immediately and hurriedly cupped his hands together as he spoke respectfully, "This little boy, Xiao Yan, greets the two Elders."

"The fire tends towards greenish color. The flame was like a lotus and a volcano. If I'm not mistaken, the ‘Heavenly Fire that young friend controlled should be the ’Green Lotus Core Flame‘ that ranked nineteenth in ’Color‘ Fire Rank. " The old voice echoed beside Xiao Yan's ear, causing his calm heart to suddenly stiffen. There was an additional fear in his eyes as he looked at the two gray-robed people. This grey-robed mysterious person was the first to manage to see through the exact details of his fire even before he showed the ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’. This guy is really scary!

Xiao Yan's throat slightly rolled over as he nodded slightly. His gaze glanced at Xun Er and the others around him before he realized that they were as if not hearing the words that the gray-robed person had said earlier. He could not help but become stunned. His heart suddenly understood. This seemed to be a trick from the two gray-robed mysterious people.

"To be able to control ‘Heavenly Fire’ at such an age, is really very talented ..." The gray-robed person on the left side softly sighed. There was admiration in his voice. Immediately, he turned his gaze towards Hu Gan and said in a hoarse voice, "The big five this time is much better than the previous five."

Hu Gan heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing these words. He smiled as he said, "Since that's the case, can I ask the two Elders to open Space Lock."

"Space Lock?" That foreign name caused Xiao Yan and the others to become empty.

"Xiao Yan ge-ge, look at the place in front of Vice School Head Hu Gan." Xun Er's soft voice was suddenly transmitted into Xiao Yan's ears. He lifted his head and looked around. At first, there was still doubt on his face. A moment later, the doubt gradually disappeared and was replaced by a grim expression.

Xiao Yan's eyes stared intently at the spot about half a meter in front of Hu Gan. A moment later, he realized that if he were to carefully observe the space there, one would actually be able to find a very shallow fold. These folds are hidden in the air and are very hard to find. Xiao Yan's gaze followed the movement of the folds that appeared and disappeared before he suddenly realized that this space fold almost became something like a wall – protecting the entire ‘Book’ Collection Hall behind him!

"This is Space Lock. An extremely powerful mirror knot that only a strong Dou Zun could possess. This Space Lock was abandoned by the academy's predecessor several hundred years ago. If we don't have two Elders inside to use a special method to open it, even a strong Dou Zong won't be able to break through." Hu Gan, who was at the front, seemed to clearly understand the loss that Xiao Yan and the others felt as he smiled and explained.

Xiao Yan and the others nodded their heads due to the sudden understanding. However, their hearts were a little surprised. A mirror knot that even a strong Dou Zong could not destroy. This is too scary.

The two gray-robed people outside the pavilion slowly extended their wrinkled hands from within their sleeves. Immediately, they began to use their fingers and palms to slowly form hand seals. As the seal was formed by their hands, Xiao Yan could clearly sense that there were two extremely powerful and formless ripples being emitted from their palms, like waves.

The formless ripples gradually disappeared and finally came into contact with that fold in space. When the two came into contact, the space in front of Xiao Yan and the others immediately became like a mirror that seemed to be formed by water as circles of ripples repeatedly appeared. A moment later, the ripple stopped and something like a door was slowly pulled open by a large, shapeless hand.

After taking one step through the formless door, Xiao Yan realized that the scene before him had become much brighter. His eyes, which he used to see into the pavilion had also become a little clearer. They had actually entered this Locked Space.

"Ke Ke, we've troublesome the two Elders." Hu Gan smiled and said to the two gray-robed people sitting cross-legged outside the hall.

"It's just our job." The two mysterious human figures wrapped in gray robes did not even move their bodies as a slow hoarse voice sounded.

"You can all go to ‘Buku’ Collection Hall now. Remember, whatever you want to get, you cannot force and try hard to get it. That was because there was a layer of energy added to everything that was here. If your hand is able to break through the energy layer without any hindrance, you can grab the thing inside. Of course, no matter how much you can take, you can only bring one of them from ‘Buku’ Collection Hall. Don't greedy. Otherwise, you won't get anything in the end, like if you try to fetch water with a bamboo basket."

"If you can't get through the energy layer, then you have to give up. With your current strength, you cannot destroy it. There are quite a number of people among them who enter ‘Buku’ Collection Hall every year who eventually return empty-handed. So leave everything to destiny. Don't try to take away things you can't do. " Hu Gan pointed to the ‘Book’ Collection Hall with his finger as he explained the situation to Xiao Yan and the others.

Xiao Yan and the others nodded upon hearing this. They exchanged glances with each other before finally and slowly raised their legs and walked towards ‘Buku’ Collection Hall.

Only the sound of footsteps could be heard in the desolate mountain valley. Xiao Yan and Xun Er walked behind the group. Some of them passed through a patch of grass in front of the pavilion. They finally stepped onto the green rock stairs, which had been broken by time to the brim with holes.

There was a green layer covering the stone stairs. When one stepped on it, one would feel somewhat slippery. However, fortunately it did not pose much of a hindrance to Xiao Yan and the others. They followed the green stone stairs and walked for a while before arriving in front of ‘Book Collection Hall. When they raised their heads to look at the ancient horizontal signboard, a feeling of desolation spread from it, clinging to everyone's heart and not disappearing for a long time.

"Uhukkis..."

A hoarse cough suddenly rang out, waking the five of them from a daze. The five of them were empty before they hurriedly and immediately turned their gaze away from the horizontal signboard.

"A strange horizontal name board. It actually has the demonic power to attract people's minds. Why is every part of the ‘Buku’ Collection Hall filled with this mysterious aura? " Xiao Yan lowered his head and sighed while muttering in his heart.

"Come in. The door will only open for an hour. After an hour, you must come out regardless of whether you have gained something or not."

The sleeves of the gray-robed people on their left five of them were blown away until they fluttered. The tightly shut main door immediately let out a creaking sound as it opened slowly, revealing a dark tunnel behind.

The moment the main door opened, an ancient and gloomy aura pounced towards them. It caused Xiao Yan and the others to hastily tighten the defenses of their minds, not daring to think of anything else in the slightest.

Hu Jia, who led them in a deep breath of air and took the initiative to get into ‘Buku’ Collection Hall. Behind him, Bai Shan and Wu Hao hesitated for a moment before following closely.

"Let's go, Xiao Yan ge-ge." Xun Er withdrew Xiao Yan's hand and spoke with a smile as she looked at Hu Jia and the other two, who had disappeared in the black tunnel.

"Yes. Careful." Xiao Yan nodded. The corner of his eyes passed through two mysterious gray-robed human figures beside him. He immediately pulled Xun Er and walked to ‘Buku’ Collection Hall. Finally, they disappeared silently due to their gentle footsteps.

After the five of them entered ‘Buku’ Collection Hall, the main door, which opened, started creaking as it closed slowly. They were finally closed.

As he once again looked at the tightly shut main door, Hu Gan let out a soft sigh and said with a smile, "Hopefully these little friends can find things they like. This is a very rare opportunity to be able to enter the ‘Book’ Collection Hall at Jia Nan Academy. They can't waste it."
