Chapter 535: Reunion with Old Friends

The appearance of Tianmen heralds the arrival of a new era.

At first, there was panic in the Xuanlong Realm regarding the opening of the Heavenly Gate. Ordinary cultivators did not understand what the opening of the Heavenly Gate meant, but the families and sects who knew about the great dark turmoil three thousand years ago knew what the opening of the Heavenly Gate meant - that was the invasion of the great beings.

What are Dao living beings? Ordinary cultivators don't know, but the big families and sects that belong to the Tiandao League in the Tianmen Domain know it very well. Most of them are wealthy families that flourished three thousand years ago and have not disappeared until now, so naturally there are secrets that have been passed down. Ordinary cultivators don't know these things, and the big sects and families don't want them to know. Even Shi Yan, who was born in the Shi family of the Twelve Great Immortal Sects, only knew this secret after Shi Canglan told him in the Zimu Liuhua Domain.

Could it be that the creatures of the Great Dao have once again invaded the world of cultivators?

Could it be that the great dark turmoil three thousand years ago will occur again?

Could it be that this is really God's will to kill the cultivator?

All the major sects were preparing for a bloody battle as if they were facing a formidable enemy. There was no way to retreat, so they could only move forward bravely.

Three thousand years ago, there were many saints and immortals, and there were also celestial beings. The dragons transformed the world and protected the cultivators. But now there are only a few immortals, not even a saint, let alone celestial beings. If we couldn't resist it then, wouldn't we be even more unable to resist it today?

All the major sects looked towards the huge door in the sky with great nervousness.

However, the first and second sects of the Twelve Great Immortal Sects seemed very quiet. There was no movement of battle groups or scouts. What was even more puzzling was that there was no tension in the two sects before the disaster. Although the Tiandao League in the Xuanlong Realm was an alliance, they had their own spies and naturally knew about the abnormality of the two sects.

"Could it be that they already knew that the great beings were about to arrive?" someone speculated.

If the two families had not behaved as usual without any abnormality, everyone would have thought that they had packed up and fled. Didn't they say they were going to find the Qiankun World? There was no guarantee that the two families had already found it together.

The gate of heaven opened wide, and the Dao creatures finally appeared. However, they did not come with an overwhelming army as they had imagined. Instead, the Dao creatures appeared in the Tianmen area without any hostility, just like tourists going out for an outing. Although there were many of them, they did not seem to want to attack the Tianmen area at all.

"What's going on?"

"Let's observe first."

No one wants to strike first. It's a blessing that they don't take action. Why are you still trying to stir up trouble? Are you looking for death?

Time passed quickly, and a week passed. The Dao creatures still had no hostility, and no intention to attack. Instead, they bought manors everywhere like cultivators and lived in them. The reason why they did not buy cave paradises and fairyland mansions was not because of insufficient resources, but because these places were useless to them. After all, they did not rely on spiritual power. Although these places were full of spiritual power, they were not comfortable. On the contrary, manors and mansions had little spiritual power but were very comfortable and suitable for living.

Seeing that they didn't make any unusual moves, the major families finally put their minds at ease.

Compared to their peace of mind, Gao Qiu and his companions, who were also creatures of the Great Dao, could not feel at ease.

Because they knew very well that this Heavenly Gate was the so-called Gate of Destiny, and it was not the Cangtian Realm that opened this Gate of Destiny, but the Huangtian Realm and the Qingtian Realm. Now, the Huangtian Realm and the Qingtian Realm have found a way to open the Gate of Destiny for a long time and reach the Xuanlong Realm, but there is no news from the Cangtian Realm. Although there are tools in the Taixuan Immortal Gate that can communicate with the Cangtian Realm, since the Gate of Destiny was opened, the attitude of the Taixuan Immortal Gate has undergone some subtle changes, and the relationship between the two has become a little unpredictable.

Feng Hongwen had been out to observe the situation. Now that he had come back, he analyzed, "I didn't see them make any big moves. Maybe they didn't come for us. But this is all superficial. I have no way of knowing what's going on behind the scenes."

"Where are those slave cultivators from Taixuan Immortal Sect? Why don't we ask them to help keep an eye on them for us?" Gu Tai shouted.

Feng Hongwen glared at him and said, "Don't be so stubborn. Whose territory do you think we are on? After Zhang Zicong and his men came, Taixuan Xianmen's attitude towards us changed. Didn't you see that? Huangtian Tian Realm and Qingtian Tian Realm have found a way to open the Gate of Destiny for a long time, but our Cangtian Tian Realm has not. It is obvious who is more in line with their interests, so how could they help us?"

Gu Tai said angrily, "Damn it, these ungrateful bastards, they didn't even see who helped them repair the things, and now that the things are repaired, they are crossing the river and destroying the bridge! Huang Tiantian Realm and Qing Tiantian Realm opened the door of destiny, are they simply trying to force us to death? Damn it, do they really think we are easy to bully? We are disciples of the world's number one pavilion, who are we afraid of? Lao Feng, are you afraid?"

Feng Hongwen snorted, "Don't call me that! Why would I be afraid? I also came from the No. 1 Pavilion in the world. The reason why our Yunhai Pavilion is called the No. 1 Pavilion in the world is that we are the best in the world. Why would I be afraid of this or that?"

"Haha, good job, Lao Feng." Gu Tai laughed, "Let them come, I, Gu Tai, am not afraid of them!"

"I told you not to call me that!" Feng Hongwen roared.

Compared with the military commanders led by the two, the civil officials led by Gao Qiu were much quieter. They were not like those warriors, and they thought more deeply. Gao Qiu was originally a minister in the palace, so he looked at things more comprehensively and was more worried.

The gates of destiny had been opened for a long time in Huangtian Realm and Qingtian Realm, but there was no movement in Cangtian Realm, which made him worried. Could it be that the situation in Cangtian Realm in the Three Realms had become so dire?

You should know that Huang Tiantian Realm and Qing Tiantian Realm have formed an alliance, but there are only a few war zones opened up. It will take time to expand the war zones, so Cang Tiantian Realm can completely use the narrowness of these war zones to resist. If Huang Tiantian Realm and Qing Tiantian Realm want to suppress Cang Tiantian Realm, they must send more troops. Qing Tiantian Realm already has few troops, most of which have been consumed in the battle with the Eight Tribes of the God of Fire, so it stands to reason that the situation of Cang Tiantian Realm is still quite optimistic.

In this case, where do the Huangtian Realm and Qingtian Realm get the time, energy and resources to study the Gate of Destiny? Unless something unexpected happens, the situation of Cangtian Realm is very difficult now.

The more they thought about it, the uglier the faces of the officials led by Gao Qiu became.

"It seems that we have to think of a solution." Gao Qiu's eyes gleamed, "We have to do something here."

Shi Yan was not in a hurry to meet his old friends. They had just entered the Xuanlong Realm, and it would be bad if he contacted them rashly. On the contrary, if he concealed his relationship with the Dao creatures, he might be able to get some unexpected information.

For example, many sects have come into contact with them recently, and the most surprising one is Taixuan Xianmen. Shi Yan knew that there were Dao creatures in Taixuan Xianmen, and those were all people from Cang Tiantian Realm. He didn't expect that Taixuan Xianmen would form an alliance with Cang Tiantian Realm and come into contact with Huang Tiantian Realm and Qing Tiantian Realm. "They are really two-faced. It's really pitiful that Cang Tiantian Realm came to them. I'm afraid that nothing will be left of them." Shi Yan sighed sympathetically.

Hearing his sigh, Mo Zixuan, who was reading a book nearby, raised his head and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Shi Yan smiled and shook his head. "Nothing. I just felt sorry for some of these guys."

Mo Zixuan covered his mouth and laughed secretly, "You can also feel pity for others? I think you are gloating over other people's misfortunes."

Shi Yan laughed, "Zixuan is the one who understands me." Then he stood up and walked over. Amid Mo Zixuan's exclamation, he picked her up, laid her horizontally on his legs, and kissed her fiercely.

Mo Zixuan let out a moan and his whole body went limp.

"Cough, cough, cough." A dry cough was heard, and Xiang Zijin and Ning Xinyi appeared here together, holding a plate with something on it.

Mo Zixuan's face flushed, and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to hide in the ground. Shi Yan was not embarrassed at all. How could he feel embarrassed when he was as thick-skinned as him? He was just a little scared when facing Ning Xinyi.

"Really, Brother Shi Yan, you are such a pervert. You do this kind of thing in broad daylight. You have no shame at all." Xiang Zijin wrinkled her nose and said cutely.

"Haha," Shi Yan laughed and reached out to hug him, "Come, give Brother Shi Yan a kiss."

Xiang Zijin cleverly turned a circle, got rid of Shi Yan's clutches, and snorted, "Only Sister Zixuan would listen to you. If I were you, I'd say you're a heartless guy."

Mo Zixuan nodded on the side, and Shi Yan's expression fell.

"Why, you still don't admit it? Think about it, you and I have been childhood sweethearts, but you left without saying a word. Isn't that a betrayal?"

Shi Yan smiled bitterly, "I didn't mean to do that."

"No matter what, I heard from Sister Zixuan that you also suddenly disappeared when you were in a deep relationship with Sister Zixuan, is that true or not?"

"That was an accident."

"You just have to say yes or no."

When Yan heard “Yes, yes, yes”, he had no choice but to surrender.

"There are a few sisters I'm not familiar with, so I can't say much, but what about sister Xinyi? I heard her say that she pestered you in every way at the beginning, but when sister Xinyi was concerned about you, you withdrew from her. If you're not a heartless person, what is that?"

Shi Yan then realized that Zi Jin had been going on for so long just to stand up for Ning Xinyi.

This little girl is good in every way except that she is too soft-hearted. She was probably moved by Ning Xinyi's experience and regarded him as a big sinner.

Ning Xinyi stood behind him with a red face, looking a little at a loss.

Shi Yan pointed at the food on the plate and asked, "What is this? Is it brought here especially for me to eat?"

Xiang Zijin handed the bowl to Mo Zixuan and said, "Come, Sister Zixuan, this is the thousand-year-old snow lotus soup, try it."

Shi Yan was delighted to see that the topic had been successfully changed. "It turned out to be snow lotus soup, and it's a thousand-year-old one. I remember that I loved it when I was a child, but I haven't had it for more than ten years. Zi Jin understands me and knows that Brother Shi Yan likes it, so he made it for me."

"Hmph, who is eating this? I made it for Sister Zixuan. Your portion? It's with Sister Xinyi. But it depends on whether Sister Xinyi is happy or not."

Shi Yan laughed and put Mo Zixuan down, not knowing what to do. It was obvious that these three girls had formed an alliance just to fight for Ning Xinyi. It was a headache.

Suddenly, a familiar yet unfamiliar breath came. Shi Yan's expression froze, and then he was ecstatic and ran out without caring about anything else.

"Hmph, you're lucky you escaped quickly!" Xiang Zijin snorted.

Mo Zixuan also snorted a little, thinking that he had forcefully possessed him like a pervert at the beginning, so why was he behaving so reserved now?

As Shi Yan ran, the familiar feeling in his heart became clearer and clearer.

"Is it you? Is it you? Is it really you?" Shi Yan roared in his heart.

Finally, I arrived at the exit of Fengling Fairyland and finally saw the figure.

His posture was still upright, his figure was still aloof, quite different from what he remembered, except that his originally handsome face now looked a bit weathered.

"Brother Gongyang!" Shi Yan shouted happily. Yes, this person was Gongyang Zhongyu.

After Hongyu pacified the Shi family, she went out to look for Gongyang Zhongyu. Unexpectedly, she actually found him.

"Haha, I was just wondering if the Shi Yan in the rumors was you. Seeing you again today, I'm sure that Shi Yan is you!" Gong Yang Zhongyu seemed to be in a good mood as well, laughing loudly, "Shi Yan, when will you fulfill your promise?"

"A sword fanatic is a sword fanatic. We have not seen each other for a long time. It is so hurtful to talk about this." However, Shi Yan's eyes were sharp and he said, "It has been so long, and you haven't changed at all. But I have changed."

"You have indeed changed. In the past, you were strong but your aura was weak. Now your aura is as strong as a god." Gong Yang Zhongyu said, "But the stronger you become, the more my waiting is worth it."

"Fight!"
