Ascension failed, the system took me away

Mount Tai.

This famous mountain has a different status in Kyushu.

It was the place where the emperor held ceremonies to worship heaven and earth, also known as the Fengshan Ceremony at Mount Tai.

"Feng" means offering sacrifices to heaven, which is held on an altar built on the top of Mount Tai, and "Chan" means offering sacrifices to the earth, which is usually held on a small hill at the foot of Mount Tai.

After the emperor accomplished great achievements, he would hold a grand ceremony here to report his great deeds to heaven and earth.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, including Shun and Yu, all performed the Fengshan ceremony.

However, in the cognition of later generations, the most representative one is the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai held by the First Emperor who unified the country.

This large-scale event was regarded by later emperors as a sign of outstanding achievements.

After the First Emperor of Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Guangwu, Emperor Gaozong of Tang, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang all held Fengshan ceremonies at Mount Tai.

When they were in power, the country was at its peak, shocking all directions and attracting tributes from all nations.

In history, only six emperors have performed the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai.

It’s just that the first five are real top students, while the sixth is not so good.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the third emperor, Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng, signed the Treaty of Chanyuan with the Liao Kingdom, exchanging great gifts for peace.

This compromising approach shows the weakness of the current dynasty, which is far different from that of previous emperors.

In order to whitewash the situation and elevate his own status, Zhao Heng fabricated auspicious signs from heavenly books and forcibly performed the Fengshan Ceremony on Mount Tai.

This move was highly controversial, and it also lowered the status of the Fengshan Ceremony at Mount Tai, so that emperors of later generations were unwilling to associate with it.

Therefore, after Zhao Heng, no emperor ever held the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai.

In addition to its symbolic significance, this special mountain also has a special status in the world of spiritual practice.

It is said that the top of Mount Tai is the place closest to heaven. In the past, practitioners who had reached the pinnacle of Taoism would come here to perform the ascension ceremony.

Trying to survive the heavenly tribulation, open the gate of heaven, enter that heaven and become one of the immortals.

However, over the years, not many practitioners have been able to successfully ascend to heaven.

Long ago, it was still possible to see people ascending to heaven in broad daylight, but nowadays they are extremely rare and have almost become a legend.

Nowadays, human practitioners no longer pursue ascending to become immortals because this path is too ethereal.

Most of them just want to avenge their enemies, ride the wind with swords, slay demons and monsters, and live a wonderful life.

Then, when their life ends, they will rely on the connections of their own Taoist lineage to go down to the underworld to work, or directly enter reincarnation.

This is an era that values ​​techniques more than moral practice.

Bai Qin came to the top of Mount Tai, holding an illusory compass in his hand, with dense array patterns interweaving and flowing.

This is the formula for calculating the celestial coordinates that Black Cat gave him.

You only need to input the human world as a reference system, and then you can calculate the location of the heavenly world according to the formula.

According to Black Cat, calculations at the top of Mount Tai are the most accurate and fastest.

Because a gate to heaven was once opened in this place, and some practitioners successfully ascended to heaven in broad daylight from here.

However, the Heavenly Gate can only be opened from the heavenly realm. In the human world, let alone opening the door, you can’t even find where the door is.

Only those who have ascended are qualified to knock on the door, trigger the ascension ceremony to make the Heavenly Gate appear, and successfully enter the heaven after passing the heavenly tribulation.

"So that's how it is. This is a bit troublesome!" Bai Qin figured out the location of the heaven based on calculations and also saw some things.

"Contractor, what's wrong?" 5677 was confused.

Bai Qin took back the compass, stood with his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky. His eyes penetrated the void and saw the faint remains of Tianmen.

But it is just a trace of ancient times.

Just like the indentations left by wheels on the sand, they are of no use other than determining the direction and load of the vehicle.

"The ascension ceremony in this world should not be set up by the gods in heaven, but by the will of heaven."

"These gods just took advantage of the situation and entered the heavens to form cliques and factions, set up the heavenly court, and establish order."

"The gods cannot interfere with the opening of this gate, but they can choose who to let through. The so-called heavenly tribulation is probably their work."

Based on the remaining remains of Tianmen, Bai Xin observed some pitifully little information.

Combined with the traditional cultivation system of the human race, some information was inferred.

"It's the rich ones suppressing the latecomers again!" 5677 has become accustomed to it.

The reason why the development of the world is stuck at a certain stage is largely due to the existence of those vested interests at the top and their lack of ambition to make progress.

The person in front doesn't want to move forward, but instead stays in a comfortable position.

The people behind who wanted to move forward were blocked, unable to move forward, and gradually gave up the hopeless climb.

The occasional climbers are no match for the lagging mainstream and are drowned in this world, unable to make any waves.

"The ascension ceremony is equivalent to a program set by heaven. It can be triggered when the conditions are met, but now it has lost its due function." Bai Yin inferred as he looked at the remains of Tianmen.

5677 scratched his head, gloating a little: "This means that the path to ascension is cut off. The evil demon in the west who wants to ignite the divine fire and ascend is doomed to fail!"

Bai Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, with deeper speculations in his mind.

The triggering of this ascension ceremony should be automatic, and it is a rule written in the world by God.

This means that even if the will of heaven disappears, the ascension ritual will not lose its effect.

But now it has no effect.

Bai Xin guessed that it was destroyed by God before he disappeared, in order to prevent the living beings on earth from ascending to die.

Or perhaps the calamity that made the gods and Buddhas invisible affected the operation of the ascension ceremony.

But no matter what, he still had to go to that heaven to see what was going on.

According to the information revealed by Black Cat before, the rift that runs through the world spread from the heaven.

Faced with unknown dangers, he didn't dare to go over at all. He just wanted to use the Jedi Tiantong formation to isolate the heaven.

Bai Qin raised his hand and formed a sword seal. A sharp edge appeared between his fingers, carrying the aura of tearing the world apart.

He was about to stretch out his hand, tear open the space according to the coordinates of the heaven, and open the portal to the heaven.

However, he stopped just as he started to move, clenched his hand to dissipate the sharpness between his fingers, and took back the rune that divided the two worlds.

"I almost acted carelessly again!" Bai Qin rubbed his eyebrows and became alert.

Thinking that this world involves the laws of nature, other methods must be used.

Back when he was on Blue Star, he plunged headfirst into the Heavenly Dao realm without knowing anything and ended up losing half of his body.

We don’t know what’s going on in the heaven of this world right now, so it doesn’t feel right to open the portal directly.

After all, the crack spread from the heaven. It would be troublesome if the channel connecting the two realms was opened and the crack expanded.

So he chose to take a safer approach.

"5677, divide a subsystem, and we will use the world shuttle function to go there."

"okay!"

5677 also knew that he might encounter big trouble, but since he was already here, he could only go and take a look.

Go through fire and water!
