“Gate of Destinies? What kind of joke is this? This thing is but a legend,” Tang Xian said furiously.
The Gate of Destinies was a legend in this world. Based on an ancient legend, after the first batch of cultivators in this world reached tier nine of the Divine level, they gathered endless resources to create a Gate of Destinies in order to reach an even higher realm and break away from the world’s shackles.
As long as one passed through the Great Dao’s Testimony, they would be able to transform from humans into gods. They would be able to break away from the world’s shackles, reach the opposite shores, and achieve great Dao.
Therefore, the first reaction that Tang Xian had upon hearing this was that it was not reliable at all.
However, one of the ladies dressed in palace clothes said, “That might not be true. Rumor has it that Old Ancestor Zhai Xing has obtained the legacies from the ancient heavenly court and found the way to create the Gate of Destinies. Both the Longevity Palace and the Ascendant Heavenly Sect have ascertained this, so our Hundred Rivers Sect is planning to join in and be a part of this great work as well.”
As Gong Yuan—this female disciple from the Hundred Rivers Sect—said this, she carefully threw a glance at Tang Xian and Huang Shan. After some thought, she decided to remind them, “Seniors, Old Ancestor Zhai Xing has comprehended the destinies and attained remarkable cultivation. We offer our condolences and hope that you can be careful with your actions.”
She had wanted to advise them not to have any intentions of seeking revenge or else they would also be killed. However, when the words got up to her mouth, she still felt that it would be overstepping her boundaries as they did not have a close relationship. Instead, she changed to advising them to act carefully instead.
Huang Shan let out a snort and wanted to say out the truth. How could the Venerable Master Zhai Xing possibly be so strong to have defeated the other two tier nine Divine level experts? All three of them had been defeated by Fang Xingjian, with the Venerable Master Zhai Xing escaping back by himself. He then bullied the Heavenly Emperor and Immortal Yuqing whose main bodies had been defeated.
Right now, the Heavenly Emperor and Immortal Yuqing probably only had a hint of their clones left behind in the Ascendant Heavenly Sect and Longevity Palace respectively. This was why they could only bend before the Venerable Master Zhai Xing’s martial prowess.
However, Huang Shan was just about to say this when he was stopped by Fang Xingjian. Fang Xingjian was naturally unwilling to divulge his tracks so easily.
Tang Xian was the one who pulled himself together and said, “Miss, thank you for your reminder. We’ll be returning to our sect first. Goodbye.”
After saying this, the four of them left.
Gong Yuyan’s junior martial sister, who was standing next to her, sighed and said, “Senior Martial Sister, do you think that they’ll take to heart and seek revenge?”
Looking at the men who had left, Gong Yuyan shook her head and sighed, saying, “I only hope that they can be more rational. Even the Heavenly Emperor and Immortal Yuqing have been defeated. Right now, there’s probably no one in the higher realm who can be a match for Venerable Master Zhai Xing.”
Tang Xian and the other three quickly made their way to the Repose Palace. A huge city situated in a basin appeared before them. Each road and building was of a rectangular shape. It was clear that they had all been partitioned under strict regulations.
However, right now, there was no hint of liveliness in the Repose City at all. Everyone stayed indoors, and the streets were filled with white mourning clothes. The entire place gave off a sorrowful and dismal feeling.
Tang Xian frowned and immediately descended toward the center of the city. Before he landed, several martial arts cultivators headed toward him.
When the young man in the lead saw Tang Xian’s appearance, he immediately wore an agitated expression.
“Senior Martial Brother Tang, you’re finally back! Senior Martial Brother Huang, you’re back as well!”
Tang Xian looked at the young man in the lead, sighed, and asked, “Junior Martial Brother Ning, what happened here?”
Ning Chongxiao said sadly, “Senior Martial Brother, the Flying Celestial Sect wants us to hand over all of our sects’ manuals, open up the treasury, and share our resources. They say that after the Gate of Destinies is successfully created, they will allow us to enter the gate and reach the opposite shores.
