Two thousand years ago, a strand of sword light flashed across the nine heavens, tearing through the sky.
The world recovered, and martial arts began to revive.
Two thousand years later...
Three days later!
The Southern Heavenly Gate finally emerged completely from that black hole, standing tall in the vast starry sky, radiating dazzling divine light and celestial brilliance, just like a gate to immortality.
At this moment, countless powerful figures had gathered throughout the entire Yunlan Starfield. The weakest among them was a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, as those below the Grand Luo level were simply not capable of existing in this region. The emergence of the Southern Heavenly Gate, carrying earth-shattering power, not only reduced the entire Yunlan Starfield to dust but also affected several surrounding starfields.
Most importantly, the divine radiance and celestial light emanating from the Southern Heavenly Gate contain boundless power. It distorts the entire spacetime of the Cloud Ripples Starfield, causing the space of this starfield to infinitely overlap and twist.
What appears to be calm is actually fraught with danger.
If any martial artist below the Great Luo level comes over, they could very well be reduced to ashes in a single encounter.
The closer one gets to the South Heavenly Gate, the stronger this power becomes. Lin Xuan even suspects that even an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal might not be able to pass through the South Heavenly Gate and enter the Ancient Heavenly Court.
"The South Heavenly Gate is indeed magnificent..."
Lin Xuan stood in the vast void, squinting at the portal that stood like a chasm across the starry sky, and felt a deep sense of awe.
Even the Southern Heavenly Gate in the myths and legends of the Great Xia Dynasty couldn't compare to this!
"Could there really be some connection?"
Lin Xuan muttered to himself, thinking that the possibility was not low. Perhaps in a certain era, the ancient Heavenly Court was born in the star field where Xuanhuang Star is located, and even some martial arts experts entered the ancient Heavenly Court, which is why so many myths and legends were left behind.
Lin Xuan shook his head, trying to stop thinking about these things. Whether it was mythology or reality, it didn't really matter. The most important thing was that if the Chaos Bell truly existed in the Ancient Heavenly Court, he absolutely had to obtain it.
He didn't do it to return to the ancient era to help the human race defy fate, but only because the Chaos Bell was a supreme treasure. Moreover, according to the information about the Chaos Bell provided by the Xuanhuang Ancient Emperor, this thing was very compatible with the Ten Directions Path he cultivated.
Whoosh whoosh...
At that very moment, from all over the Yunlan Starfield, countless figures transformed into long rainbows and shot straight toward the South Heavenly Gate.
"Haha... The Southern Heavenly Gate has opened, the ancient Heavenly Court has been born, everyone... I'll take my leave first."
"The South Heavenly Gate is right in front of us. Passing through the South Heavenly Gate will allow us to enter the ancient Heavenly Court and search for the legendary Eternal Heaven, where there is an opportunity to transcend into sainthood."
"Transcending the sainthood, ascending to heaven in one step, and from then on achieving true immortality."
"Such an unparalleled opportunity requires unparalleled fortune; not just anyone can enter. I am a person of great fortune, and this opportunity is destined for me."
...
After the South Heavenly Gate was fully revealed, a brief silence was followed by chaos throughout the Yunlan Starfield. Figures pierced through the sky and flew straight toward the South Heavenly Gate.
The weakest of these people were all Great Luo Golden Immortals, because below the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, no one could even get close to the South Heavenly Gate.
Within the Cloud Ripples Starfield, at least half of the powerful beings above the Great Luo level from the vast universe had gathered. It was a grand feast, and everyone wanted a piece of the pie. Seeing the emergence of the Ancient Heavenly Court and the official opening of the Southern Heavenly Gate, these people finally couldn't hold back any longer. One by one, they transformed into long rainbows and immediately flew towards the Southern Heavenly Gate.
In an instant, the world was enveloped in flowing light.
"Let's go! It's time for us to set off."
At this moment, Gu Shenyue looked at Lin Xuan and said in a deep voice, "Go in first, and then search for the whereabouts of the Chaos Bell. You will come with me."
"good……"
Lin Xuan nodded slightly, and his eyes immediately shone with spiritual light as he activated his Spiritual Eyes to their fullest potential.
The two moved at incredible speed, forcibly tearing through space and time to teleport.
Arriving at the South Heavenly Gate before many others, he stepped through without a word.
Buzz... Boom...
With one step, the world spins and the stars shift.
The South Heavenly Gate contains astonishing power. Lin Xuan's previous prediction was correct. Ordinary Grand Luo Golden Immortals probably couldn't even enter the gate because they couldn't withstand this terrifying pressure. At least a Grand Luo Golden Immortal of the seventh level or above would be needed.
The next moment!
The light is dazzling, and the stars shift and the constellations turn.
Once everything stabilized, the light before Lin Xuan's eyes dissipated. He subconsciously looked around and found that he was no longer in the same place, but had come to an independent space.
There was no one around.
Gu Shenyue was gone, and so were the others who had entered the South Heavenly Gate with them; there wasn't a single person left.
"What's going on? Could it be an illusion?"
Lin Xuan was stunned and greatly surprised. He squinted and looked around. With his spiritual eyes activated, he saw through all the illusions in the world.
"It really was an illusion!"
Lin Xuan's pupils contracted sharply. Then, with a wave of his hand, a wisp of sword energy swept across the sky like a thunderbolt, instantly splitting this illusory world in two. Heaven and earth shattered in an instant, and the surrounding illusions vanished without a trace.
The next moment!
Lin Xuan appeared on a pile of ruins. It should be the ruins of a huge palace complex. Most of the buildings had collapsed, and even those that had not collapsed were in a terrible state of disrepair.
A number of people were already standing around Lin Xuan.
Not only was there the ancient god Yue, but there were also nearly fifty other people, each of whom was a saint.
hiss!
Lin Xuan was secretly shocked. He knew that these people were all powerful figures from the Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom who had been asleep until this life and had only been revived. Their purpose was the same as that of the Ancient God Moon: to seize the Chaos Bell.
"This is the power of our Xuanhuang Ancient Kingdom."
Gu Shenyue glanced at Lin Xuan, chuckled, and said, "Including me, there are fifty people in total, and each of them is a Saint Realm expert."
As she spoke, Gu Shenyue looked at the others and introduced them: "Everyone, this is Lin Xuan, the one I mentioned before. After we obtain the Chaos Bell, we must hand it over to him, because only he can send the Chaos Bell back to the ancient era."
"Lin Xuan...you can really travel through time and space? How is that possible? Even the Emperor doesn't have such a method."
Someone raised a question, looked at Lin Xuan, and said, "I don't believe it unless you can prove it to us."
How do you prove it?
Lin Xuan's lips curled up slightly, a broad smile spreading across his face. He wasn't angry at all because of the other party's rude words.
"It's very simple. You just need to travel through time and space once in front of us."
The man immediately spoke.
“That’s right. If you can travel through time and space in front of us, then we’ll believe you have that ability and that you’re the person we’re looking for.”
"I'm sorry, I may not be able to meet your request." Lin Xuan sneered, "As for what I say, whether you believe it or not, it has little to do with me."
