NOVPUBSeeing this, Xu Zimei smiled.
Creation Force permeated from his hands as he threw a punch that shattered the red light, taking the Heaven-reaching Record into his grasp.
With the Heaven-reaching Record in hand, he felt an ice-cold yet blazing sensation.
The book’s cover was extremely hard, etched with many dense patterns, through which an invisible Spiritual Energy flowed quietly like water.
In the very center of the book, only the two characters for "Heaven-reaching" shone faintly, drawing attention.
Xu Zimei slowly opened the cover, and at that moment, a pale blue light shone out from within, enveloping his entire figure.
Immediately afterward, Xu Zimei felt his vision change, and he found himself in another space.
This was a quiet space suffused with a pale blue color, where pale blue and translucent Spiritual Energy floated languidly all around. 𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Gleaming like countless stars scattered across the sky, strands of the Milky Way hung upside down, spanning three thousand miles, cascading down in a vertical fall.
Xu Zimei slowly extended his hand, watching the starry blue air float past it.
Before he had the chance to look around, he heard a loud "bang."
In the surrounding directions, three doors suddenly opened without warning.
Inside these doors, blue Spiritual Energy floated, and a bright light obstructed everything, making them seem mysterious and irresistibly alluring.
The three doors floated around the perimeter of this space, at times to the left or right, at times above or below.
With a sense of curiosity, Xu Zimei slowly walked into the first door, and the scene before his eyes suddenly expanded.
...
The Heaven-reaching Record, also known as the Heaven-reaching Trilife Gate.
What are the Three Gates? The Gate of Death, the Gate of Life, and the Gate of Immortality.
Anyone who practices the Heaven-reaching Trilife Gate, through the Gate of Death, can resurrect the dead, albeit for a limited time, but being able to disregard the rules of life and death is already a remarkable feat.
The Gate of Life can greatly enhance the practitioner’s strength, reaching the limit that their body can withstand.
The Gate of Immortality, when open, renders the user invincible and indestructible within the timeframe.
These three gates, whether for battle or survival, are almost invincible choices.
Xu Zimei felt as if he were immersed in a silent starry sky, with many abstruse and obscure Cultivation Techniques flooding into his mind.
With the three gates open, his strength leaped qualitatively.
The Heaven-reaching Record in front of him was an essential item for learning the Heaven-reaching Trilife Gate.
Xu Zimei did not know how much time had passed before he awoke in this silent starry space.
The Trilife Gate had to be cultivated, and of them, the Gate of Life and Death was manageable, but the Gate of Immortality was the most difficult one.
When he opened his eyes, his mind had gained a set of memories.
Those were the secrets of how to cultivate the Heaven-reaching Trilife Gate, and Xu Zimei’s consciousness returned from the starry space to the room of bones.
He sat with eyes closed, not speaking, and only after a long while did he let out a deep breath.
Xu Zimei put away the Heaven-reaching Record and slowly stepped outside.
At that time, Qiong Qi was still fighting with Chaos, and it seemed his Seven Fears Technique had reached the level of four tails.
Moreover, the Gate of Life and Death had already been fully opened, though it was likely that he had not yet learned the Gate of Immortality.
Even though Chaos had the innate advantage of a Monster Beast’s body, he was still getting pressed and beaten by Qiong Qi.
Seeing this scene, Xu Zimei chuckled lightly, waved his hand, and signaled for Chaos to stop.
After the two separated, Qiong Qi looked at Xu Zimei angrily and said, "Since you’ve already learned the Heaven-reaching Trilife Gate, you should give the Heaven-reaching Record back to me."
"Sorry, but I’m rather greedy. I want it all," Xu Zimei said with a smile as he shook his head.
"You’re seeking death," Qiong Qi glared at Xu Zimei, his voice filled with anger.
"I also understand the Heaven-reaching Trilife Gate, and I estimate this state of yours won’t last much longer.
Do you think you can slay my Vein Beast before the Heaven-reaching Trilife Gate ends?" Xu Zimei said with a smile.
Hearing Xu Zimei’s words, the ferocity in Qiong Qi’s eyes gradually subsided.
He said, "Do you know what the ten great Divine Methods signify? You will visit our world in the future as well.
When that time comes, what awaits you will be relentless pursuit."
"I’ll be waiting. I hope your Sect of Seven Fears won’t disappoint me," Xu Zimei replied with a smile.
"I’ll remember you," Qiong Qi said as he gave Xu Zimei a look before his figure gradually vanished into the void.
He dared not protract the battle with Xu Zimei, for once the state of the Trilife Gate vanished, he would be like meat on a chopping board, with no chance to resist.
"My lord," the massive figure of Chaos turned to face Xu Zimei.
"What is it?" Xu Zimei asked.
"When will you initiate the Great Era of Immortal Cultivation?" Chaos asked with a simple smile, rubbing his head.
"What? What are you scheming now?" Xu Zimei inquired.
"I was hoping to teach the Beast Race some cultivation methods before you start it," Chaos replied.
"There’s no rush. Once I return to the Yuan Central Continent, I’ll inform you before it begins. Besides, we’re not ready yet," Xu Zimei said.
"But I must remind you of one thing: You can give the Beast Race some preferential treatment in the early stages, but once the world is fully developed, no one may intervene."
"I understand that," Chaos hastily nodded.
Xu Zimei waved his hand, signaling Chaos to return to the True Fate World.
Long ago, when Chaos had first followed him, Xu Zimei had promised to restore the Beast Race’s glory.
There was no doubt about it, for Chaos had been following him for so long.
The Great Era of Immortal Cultivation would surely begin. Once the current state of the Divine Continent had stabilized and all beings could survive, Xu Zimei would enable these people to cultivate.
After all, if he did not initiate the era of cultivation, these humans would probably lean towards a technological era.
But the problem at hand was that the advent of the cultivation era required a sufficient amount of Spiritual Energy, continuously generated, sustainable, and unending.
Otherwise, to support the practice of all beings in a world, no other method could be feasible, so Xu Zimei was also making continuous preparations.
...…
The core area of this Immortal Path ruin has now completely fallen.
Probably only when Qiong Qi returns to his own world will the evil qi of this world dissipate.
However, this didn’t concern Xu Zimei much; he was also preparing to set off for the Divine Demon Battlefield. Once the matters of the Divine Demon Battlefield were dealt with, it would be time to return to the Yuan Central Continent to prepare for Destiny.
Emerging from the Immortal Path ruin, Jiuyou had been waiting outside early on.
Seeing Xu Zimei unharmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The North City District was now under the control of the Eternal Ancient Divine Sect, and all people had been captured.
It’s likely that these remnants would undergo a significant purge this time.
"To the Divine Demon Battlefield," Xu Zimei said to Jiuyou with a smile.
The two arrived in front of the Teleportation Array in the Southern District, where Xu Zimei took out the Token given by Gong Chuhe, bypassed the queue, and walked directly into the Formation.
The journey from Eternal Ancient City to the Divine Demon Battlefield was after all a crossing between two realms, and thus consumed considerably more time.
