Golden.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, You know who are you talking to BraT???!!" The aura being released from Xian'ge intensified as almost everyone in this room kneeled except for Alex...

"Forgive us, Elder Ling Xing, we are here to ask for permission to enter the Permission..." Old Chang was the weakest one here but he didn't kneel, he never kneeled to someone except for Sect Master Lin...

"Hm? It's you Huanglong, it's been a long time since i saw you, in the past you were weak..." Ling Xing said this and looked at Alex.

Alex, completely absorbed in staring at the statue of Xian'ge, didn't notice Ling Xing's gaze.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Ling Xing, the Guardian of Permission... Who are you?" Ling Xing directed his question to Alex.

"My name is Ale--- Zhi Li, and I am just a normal guy..." Alex replied absentmindedly, still fixated on the statue.

Chang Li wanted to facepalm at the blatant lie. The future Sect Master of the sect calling himself a "normal guy" seemed ludicrous.

"You are bringing a normal disciple to the permission, Huanglong? Are you out of your mind???!!" Ling Xing yelled, surprising everyone with his reaction.

"Wow..." Alex said looking at the Statue...

"I will say this again Elder Ling Xing, we need to go to permission..." Old Chang said this, he didn't want to say anything to this guy anymore, in the past he almost fought against him for his snarky remarks and annoying personality, it was so incredibly dumb that Sect Master Lin almost destroyed this thing in the past when he got mad...

"Then i w---" Ling Xing was about to ask for permission before he stopped and looked down, there was a hot Aura around him that was going up...

Alex didn't care about the warning; he smiled, his eyes filled with interest.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

The Statue of Xian'ge looked like it came alive but Alex noticed there was a circular platform that was on the floor moving, it was like choosing something from the video games and swiping it away...

BANG!!! 

As the statue moved away, a wooden door came into view. It looked ancient, with countless scratches, a door that had witnessed thousands of years. the door was extremely enticing for most people to touch, it was like having an attraction to something, Door had to seem many years of history, and it was an artifact on its own, there were not many artifacts in this world that could say they have witnessed Eras and this door was exactly something like that, Everyone would seem to appreciate this Door and it would attract many people if it was revealed to the world but of course, nobody would do that this was the Secret of the Sect and nobody would go risking their secrets for some popularity if Sect didn't already have that, Door was extremely cool and everyone knew when they saw it for the first time, Anyone that came here became enthralled as they saw this piece of actual history, the piece of actual history, something that survived most destructive Era of the entire world. it was extremely cool, cool enough to be protected by something like the Ling Xing, and of course, he wasn't protecting the door, he was protecting something else they would now see for themselves secrets that this sect.

"This wooden door was put here by Ancestor Carnage..." Old Chang explained, his eyes gleaming with a touch of reverence.

"Wow... This is fascinating..." Chang Li grinned, appreciating the historical significance of the door.

"This is cool," Alex commented, reaching out to touch the door.

"Please..." Chang Li urged Ling Xing.

Ling Xing snorted and extended his hand toward the door.

Plop!

As his finger touched the door, ripples spread like dipping a finger into the water. In a few seconds...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

As they entered the door, everyone felt a strange effect, making them vigilant. However, when they stepped inside...

"Oh my god..." Gasps echoed as they beheld an enormous, brilliantly lit core with golden threads converging into it. The threads depicted the life stories of everyone in the sect, forming a mesmerizing golden river that flowed out from the core.

Alex, however, was focused on something else. Looking down, he nearly jumped back in surprise. The floor beneath them was made of metal, appearing modern and out of place in contrast to the ancient setting.

"The effect can be described by the olden records of our sect. It is a very powerful formation that doesn't let you keep your guard down. In the future, whoever was invited to this place would not get complacent if they did something, and they wouldn't get surprised if there was a fight here," Old Chang explained.

"So, this is the Permission?" Chang Li asked.

"Yes, this is the Permission, the biggest secret of our sect. The circular white light you see there is not something tangible; it is a conglomeration of every little golden thread in the sect. This golden river represents new disciples, and the white light rolled like a ball, represents disciples who have been in the sect for a long time. It's more like a protection device; if someone entered this place, they would have to spend time searching for someone in the golden threads. It is practically impossible to find someone in the golden light without special tricks. The deeper you are in the center, the more people's threads protect your secret," Old Chang elaborated.

Alex smiled at the genius simplicity of the protection system. He was sure Ancestor Carnage was not as foolish as he had seemed. This was indeed fascinating.

"Alright then, tell me now who you want to find..." Old Chang said.

Hong Xuanli stepped forward and said, "Grand Elder Chang... Zhang Sanfeng... I want to find him."

"You want me to... find a dead person?" Old Chang's lips twitched, unable to believe they had come to one of the most important places in the entire sect to find someone who didn't exist.

"Well... it's complicated."
