Chapter 1022: Chapter 1019: Choice
When Yang Fei arrived in front of the Fluorescent Gate that attracted him the most, his powerful will brought him back to some clarity.
Something’s strange!
After the appearance of these four Fluorescent Gates, it was as if they were imbued with magic, causing each of the four people to make their own choices.
Even Qin Yanyang let go of his hand and walked toward one of the Fluorescent Gates. Could this be another powerful trap formation?
He was suddenly startled, breaking out in cold sweat all over. With great willpower, he controlled himself, not to step through that Fluorescent Gate, and with difficulty, turned to look at Qin Yanyang.
Only to see Qin Yanyang already beside the gate she chose, reaching out to touch the gate.
Yang Fei exclaimed in surprise, "Yanyang, don’t..."
Qin Yanyang seemed unable to hear him, completely ignoring, and directly touched the Fluorescent Gate with her hand, watching as her entire palm disappeared.
In the next moment, an extremely strong force behind the Fluorescent Gate pulled Qin Yanyang’s body into it instantly.
Yang Fei was shocked and rushed over in an instant.
Although the Fluorescent Gate behind him attracted him the most, at this moment he resisted that huge temptation and decided to follow Qin Yanyang into the gate she chose.
In this place full of unknown dangers, he felt that the couple being together was the only safe option, even in death, they should die together.
However, when he reached the side of this Fluorescent Gate, the light flashed and the gate vanished.
His hand touched the moist cave wall, searching for a while, there was no passage at all.
The Fluorescent Gate was like a portal across a dimensional void, and when Qin Yanyang stepped in, she entered another space dimension.
Yang Fei’s heart was hanging high.
He looked around, only to find that Li Yue and Sun Lei had also disappeared, along with their two Fluorescent Gates.
Originally, the four Fluorescent Gates that appeared in the cave, now only one remained.
Yang Fei took a deep breath.
This scene was truly too abnormal.
When the four of them first arrived here, it was a dead end, without any exit, even the passage they came through had disappeared.
Then the cave seemed to sense the arrival of four people, hence the appearance of four gates.
And each Fluorescent Gate seemed very specific; the four were only interested in one gate each, feeling nothing for the other three.
Now that Qin Yanyang, Li Yue, and Sun Lei have each chosen a gate and stepped through, only he remains, and only one Fluorescent Gate remains.
Yang Fei took another deep breath, his gaze once again fixed on the gate.
The Fluorescent Gate was still there.
When Yang Fei looked at it, the gate stirred a strong desire deep in his heart, making him irresistibly forget everything, just wanting to get close, wanting to step in.
It was as if a voice in the void was constantly calling out from deep within his soul, urging him to hurry inside.
Yang Fei’s body involuntarily moved closer, the worry for Qin Yanyang within him vanished, at this moment, he seemed to have only one thought—to enter the gate that could change the fate of his future.
He moved closer step by step, his gaze gradually became blurry, as if he was losing himself.
Suddenly, the Fluorescent Gate flickered.
Then, the flickering became more frequent, as if urging Yang Fei to quickly enter, or else it would disappear.
Yang Fei instinctively quickened his pace.
But deep in his Sea of Consciousness, there was a final strand of reason telling him that something was wrong.
He mustn’t enter.
The Fluorescent Gate flickered faster.
And the light grew dimmer.
Yang Fei’s entire body trembled.
His body intensely desired to enter this eerie Fluorescent Gate, but the last strand of reason deep within his soul stopped him.
He struggled intensely.
He knew that this was a gamble.
Perhaps entering the Fluorescent Gate would bring a great opportunity awaiting him, enough to change his future fate.
And only by entering this Fluorescent Gate could he find an exit.
Yet he vaguely felt that this was a trap.
A maze set deliberately by the master who established this powerful formation.
Among the four people who entered, he was the only one who understood formations and Rune Tao. So, at the crucial moment, he sensed that there might be issues with the four Fluorescent Gates and tried to stop Qin Yanyang but was too late.
Now, only he remained, unsure of whether to stay or go.
At this moment, a silhouette suddenly appeared on the gate.
"Second Uncle!"
Yang Fei’s pupils shrank as he exclaimed in shock, and his body, trembling from inner struggle, involuntarily rushed a few steps toward the Fluorescent Gate.
"Second Uncle, how can you be here?"
Yang Fei called out to the image of his second uncle appearing on the Fluorescent Gate.
Second Uncle Yang Changjin smiled slightly at him, without saying a word.
But Yang Fei seemed to hear Second Uncle saying, "Come quickly, by coming here, you can make up for the regret of my death because of you."
Immediately, a voice echoed deep within Yang Fei’s soul.
Second Uncle died because of me. He should have lived safely with his family, waiting for Yang Hao and Huang Qiaoqiao to marry and have children, enjoying life with his family in his old age. But because of me, he was killed by Duanmu Yun and Duanmu Hai from the Hidden Sect Duanmu Family.
Though I later killed Duanmu Yun and Duanmu Hai, and even went to the Hidden Sect Duanmu Family to kill their father, avenging Second Uncle’s death.
But deep inside, Second Uncle shouldn’t have died prematurely, even if the entire Duanmu Family is exterminated, Second Uncle won’t come back to life.
But now, I see the hope of Second Uncle being resurrected.
If I step through this Fluorescent Gate, I can save Second Uncle.
His breathing became heavy, and his steps grew firm toward the gate.
Yet, just as his hand was about to touch the gate, he broke out in cold sweat again.
He hastily withdrew his hand.
The dead cannot be resurrected!
Second Uncle has been dead for over a year, with almost no remains left, how could he possibly come back to life?
He steeled his heart, suddenly closed his eyes, and his steps retreated continuously, moving away from the Fluorescent Gate.
Finally, the Fluorescent Gate flickered weakly one last time before disappearing.
The entire cave reverted to its previous state.
There was no exit.
Like a dead place.
Yang Fei broke out in a shower of sweat, his face showing a complex expression of conflict.
He didn’t know why he chose to stay at the critical moment.
Now, trapped alone in this cave without any exit, he suddenly felt a pang of regret.
Did I choose wrong?
He immediately shook his head.
There’s no reason for regret.
Life is like this, do not regret any choice you make, for every choice is the decision you believed to be the most correct after careful consideration at the time.
Regret is denying your life.
He glanced around, discovering that indeed there was no exit in the cave, so he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and prepared to practice cultivation to reduce energy consumption.
Just as he sat down and entered cultivation, his state of mind at its most peaceful, the entire cave suddenly emanated a golden light.
Yang Fei sensed something and abruptly opened his eyes.
He saw around the vast cave, the cave walls adorned with golden inscriptions leaping into his sight.
