Tian Yuan

The huge bronze gate is tall and majestic, its surface covered with traces of ancient Taoism, and it occasionally flashes a faint luster.

As the huge door opened, everyone present was excited.

Hundreds of great practitioners walked slowly to the vicinity of the bronze stone gate. Their hearts began to tremble violently, and every inch of their skin felt cold. They couldn't help but shiver, feeling both fear and excitement.

The first bird to stick its head out gets shot, so no one dared to walk to the entrance of the stone gate.

The Eye of the Great Dao that just appeared here has given the world a great deterrent. Even if one has a strong character, it will take some time to calm down, stop for the time being, adjust the spirit, and observe for a while.

"Where will we go after entering this door?"

"According to ancient records, the path to enlightenment lies inside the gate. Only those with the strongest strength can reach the end of this path, gain the opportunity of destiny, and ascend to the supreme throne."

"The legendary road to enlightenment is just around the corner."

“Although I know I don’t have the qualifications to compete for it, being able to go in and take a look and become a witness of the new era is worth my life.”

There were discussions in every corner of the Liuchen Star Region.

Such an earth-shattering event happened. Except for the group of strong men who went to the Tomb of the Emperor of East Land, 99% of the other top beings rushed here just to witness it with their own eyes.

Many flying treasures cut through the starry sky from different directions, with various styles and scattered all over the place.

No matter who sees this stone gate surrounded by the laws of time, they will exclaim in amazement, saying that they have witnessed history and ushered in a new era of great contention.

"There are few records about the path to enlightenment in the ancient history books. I don't know what it is like inside."

The powerful men stared at the thousand-foot-high bronze stone gate with reverence and did not dare to blaspheme.

"I am willing to go ahead and explore the way for you fellow Taoists."

There was an old man with weak blood and energy, who was leaning on a cane. He walked very slowly, and each step seemed extremely difficult.

He was emaciated, his skin was dry and black, his blood was no longer flowing, and there was only a wisp of life left, which was about to dry up.

If nothing unexpected happens, this old man will only live for three to five years at most.

It is a blessing to be able to see the rumored path to enlightenment before death!

Many people recognized the cloth-clothed old man with a cane. They looked at him and spoke respectfully, "He is the founder of Feng Yan Sect, Taoist Meng Xiao. Twenty thousand years ago, he swept away countless geniuses of his generation, and even overshadowed the princes of the Zi Lian Dynasty. Unfortunately, he met the wrong person when he was young, and was plotted against by his confidante. His natural thunder spirit heart was taken away, and he almost died."

"It turns out to be him!"

When this widely circulated gossip was mentioned, many cultivators who grew up in Luoshen Ruins suddenly realized the identity of the old man who was walking towards the stone gate.

"This big guy is still alive."

Everyone looked over and couldn't help but exclaim.

“If it weren’t for the betrayal of his beloved, with Taoist Meng Xiao’s talent and perseverance, he would have a great chance of reaching the ninth step of the Divine Bridge, or at least the eighth step. But he lost his Dao heart, and his foundation was irreparably damaged. Until today, he has only reached the fifth step of the Divine Bridge. It’s a pity.”

The current leader of the Zi Lian Dynasty came here in person, looked at the lonely figure of the old man, and expressed his emotion.

The emperor showed a complicated look. The reason for this was that he had been defeated by Taoist Meng Xiao and accepted the defeat sincerely.

They are the pride of their generation. Originally, Taoist Meng Xiao had unlimited possibilities, but fate played tricks on him.

"From what I know, Taoist Meng Xiao was not angry about losing Lei Lingxin, but about the betrayal of the person beside him. Many years later, Taoist Meng Xiao had the opportunity to take revenge, but chose to give up and never meet again."

I never thought that the love I had when I was young would ruin my life.

Taoist Meng Xiao did not regret becoming a Taoist partner with that woman. He only blamed himself for being unlucky and destined to live out his life alone.

Ten thousand years ago, the previous Taoist companion went astray in his practice and became possessed, embarking on the path of evil cultivation, causing great bloodshed. Later, the Zi Lian Dynasty sent strong men to suppress it.

After capturing the woman, the imperial high-ranking officials specially sent someone to inform Taoist Meng Xiao and explain the reason, in order to avoid causing any misunderstanding.

Taoist Meng Xiao did not plead for the woman. This was a big mistake she had made herself and she should bear the corresponding consequences.

Afterwards, the Zi Lian Dynasty executed the woman who became an evil cultivator and put an end to the matter.

Some powerful and terrifying beings vaguely remembered that on the day of the woman's execution, Taoist Meng Xiao stayed on a distant mountain and watched. He drank a lot of wine and did not say a word. He only let out a long sigh when he left.

“The scenery along the road to enlightenment should be very beautiful!”

With this glimmer of hope in mind, Taoist Meng Xiao walked towards the stone gate step by step.

The closer you get, the greater the pressure.

"Master, come back!"

The elders of Feng Yanzong stood far away, looking worried and calling out loudly.

If this continues, Taoist Meng Xiao will have no choice but to forcibly consume the little remaining energy and blood in his body and exert a certain level of strength in order to withstand the pressure of the laws above the stone gate.

Taoist Meng Xiao seemed to be deaf to the calls of the younger generations.

The road to enlightenment has come to the world, and I am willing to use the last three to five years of my life to see the scenery along this road.

If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening.

"call--"

In an instant, Taoist Meng Xiao activated the forbidden technique that consumed his own essence and blood, and in a short period of time he recovered to his best mental state, with his long robes fluttering and his white hair dancing.

He threw away the crutches in his hand and strode forward with great momentum.

Countless people looked at his back with awe.

After a while, he walked to the stone gate, and with the power of the ancient laws to suppress the world, he stepped in without caring about the consequences.

I was able to see the view inside the gate, although only for a moment, it was worth it.

"boom!"

As his own qi and blood were depleted and his last bit of vitality was consumed, Taoist Meng Xiao could not hold on any longer. The forbidden technique backfired, and his internal organs exploded instantly, and he died.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

I successfully saw the scenery inside the stone gate, and I am content with my life without any regrets.

The weird thing was that although a huge hole was blown out of his chest, not a single drop of blood flowed out. It was like a pitch-black, rotten, dead tree, filled with death.

Seeing this scene, the people of Feng Yanzong were heartbroken and cried out in sobs, "Grandmaster!"

They had originally planned to bring back the ancestor's body, but because the rules of the stone gate were too powerful and the Feng Yanzong's top leaders were not very strong, they were unable to do it.

At this time, the leader of the Zi Lian Dynasty appeared in front of everyone, and made a move from a distance, bringing Taoist Meng Xiao to a safe place.

Take out a fine coffin, put the corpse in it, and let it rest in peace.

"I lost to you several times when I was young. I thought you would reach a height that I couldn't reach, but I didn't expect this result. Sigh!"

The emperor lowered his brows and looked at the corpse in the coffin, sighing.

The current emperor is already an unrivaled power at the eighth step of the Divine Bridge. If he gets some more opportunities in the future, there is a good chance that he can enter the ninth step of the Divine Bridge and become a quasi-emperor.

"Give him a good burial."

After sighing for a while, the emperor handed the coffin to Feng Yanzong's people.

"Thank you, my Lord."

How could Sect Master Feng Yan not recognize the monarch of the Zi Lian Dynasty? He was particularly surprised. He bowed and then took the body of his ancestor back.

It is a pity that a generation of genius came to an end like this.

Everyone discussed it for a long time and expressed their sincere respect.

There are many similar things in the world.

This little episode passed quickly, and everyone stopped sighing. Their attention was once again focused on the stone gate, ready to take action.

Time passed slowly, and the power of the laws above the stone gate was also weakening.

"In five years at most, once the passage is stable, even monks who have transcended tribulation can enter."

Situ Lin made a judgment after observing for so long in a certain corner of the starry sky.

"Grandmaster, how much do you know about the path to enlightenment?"

After all, Nangong Ge’s years of cultivation were too short, and his vision and experience were far inferior to Situ Lin’s. He was not very clear about the path to enlightenment.

Although it is possible to infer and find a way to obtain information, Situ Lin is right next to him, so it is better to ask directly and there is no need to waste energy.

"To prove the way, there are nine heavens." Situ Lin answered patiently: "Each heaven is equivalent to an independent world, with three boundary markers. Only by passing the test of the boundary markers can you enter the next heaven. Only when you reach the ninth heaven, you will be qualified to fight for the opportunity of destiny and touch the throne of the world."

“Has it always been like this?”

Nangong Ge asked again.

"In my understanding, it has always been the Nine Heavens Road."

After thinking for a long time, Situ Lin said seriously.

“I hope this era won’t change!”

Nangong Ge has this worry because the process of the opportunity for enlightenment coming to the world is not going smoothly.

A few days later, someone else lost his patience and strode towards the stone gate, deciding to take the risk.

At the same time, there were more than a hundred people from the immortal ancient clan, carrying top-notch Taoist tools and fully prepared, just to enter the stone gate and embark on the road to heaven.

The ancient clan has an extremely strong heritage. Apart from the pillars who must guard the clan, some of the top leaders are searching for supreme fortune in the Emperor's Tomb in the East, while some have come to the Ruins of Fallen Gods.

"boom--"

Faced with the turbulent power of the law, the elders of the ancient clan controlled the Taoist soldiers and dispersed it without stopping for a moment.

“A powerful person in the Divine Bridge Realm should be able to enter smoothly.”

Countless practitioners in the Tribulation Crossing and Mahayana stages were in a very distant position, watching from afar with awe-filled expressions.

In half an incense stick of time, some strong men had successfully stepped into the stone gate without being repelled.

Seeing this, the heroes no longer had any concerns. They emerged from every corner in a huge crowd with the same goal.

It seemed that all the top powers from all over the world had gathered here. Any one of them, if placed in the sect or territory to which he belonged, would surely be the unrivaled existence. A stomp of his feet could shake the stars and intimidate billions of lives.

Most of the big figures who are unattainable in the eyes of the world will become stepping stones once they embark on the road to becoming successful, unable to make even a single wave.

"go!"

Nangong Ge and Situ Lin stopped standing by and decided to investigate further.
