Bai Changxing, a huge planet full of white sand and white rocks, is located in a strange starry sky far away from the Kunlun Realm, adjacent to a vast and mysterious Yellow Spring Galaxy.
The space teleportation array that had been silent for an unknown amount of time suddenly burst out with a bright white light, and then two figures appeared.
After many transfers, Zhang Ruochen and Xiao Hei finally came to Bai Changxing again.
At this moment, it is daytime, and when you look up, you can see the giant light gate that is as dazzling as the scorching sun.
Zhang Ruochen raised his head and stared at the light door. He was now many times more powerful than before, and he could already see something unusual about this starry sky.
Logically speaking, given the specialness of the Light Gate, one should be able to see the light blooming from it even in the Kunlun Realm.
However, the Kunlun Realm has been a battlefield of merit for such a long time. The worlds of heaven and hell, and countless gods, are all staring at the Kunlun Realm. This place has not been discovered, which is obviously very unreasonable.
The only explanation is that someone has used all-powerful means to hide the starry sky so that even the gods cannot perceive it.
The person most likely to do this is undoubtedly Saint Monk Xumi.
For Saint Monk Xumi to expend great efforts in setting up, this place must contain a shocking secret, which may be related to the war a hundred thousand years ago.
With the experience from the last time, Zhang Ruochen adjusted the spatial coordinates and activated the formation.
Nearly 20,000 miles away from the light gate, ripples appeared in the space.
Zhang Ruochen and Xiao Hei walked out from the center of the ripples, stood in the void, and looked forward.
Although he had already seen it once, but looking up at the light door at a close distance again, Zhang Ruochen still felt violent waves in his heart, and he felt like he was suffocating.
"It's such a huge door. The stars in front of it are like dust. It's really a miracle." Xiao Hei couldn't help but exclaimed.
Its former cultivation strength was infinitely close to that of a god, and its methods were superb, but it could not accomplish such a grand feat at all.
The Light Gate stands quietly in the void, and no one knows how long it has existed.
Because they were so close, both Zhang Ruochen and Xiao Hei felt a heart-stopping aura emanating from the light door, which almost made their bodies and holy souls break into pieces.
"What a complicated space structure, endless layers of void, all of this is actually caused by the power of Guimen Pass. Could it be that Guimen Pass was refined by Saint Monk Xumi?" Zhang Ruochen whispered.
Saint Monk Xumi's cultivation is unpredictable, and he is good at refining various treasures, such as the Divine Wood Map of the Universe, the Chaos Time and Space Lotus, etc. It is not impossible to refine the Gate of Hell.
In particular, the space teleportation array here was also arranged by Saint Monk Xumi, and everything seemed to match.
Xiao Hei shook his head and said: "Probably not. I can feel that the aura emanating from the Gate of Hell is extremely ancient. It is no worse than the "Lights of Ten Thousand Houses". It is probably a product of ancient times. At that time, Xumi
The old bald donkey hasn't even been born yet."
"In addition, I just used the Eye of the Great Sage to vaguely see some patterns when the ghost gate was closed, which made me feel a little familiar. It seemed that I had seen it somewhere. Let me think about it carefully."
Unable to help, Xiao Hei held the cat's head with his wings and thought seriously.
Zhang Ruochen did not bother him, but opened his eyes between his brows and carefully observed the gate of hell, but he was not in a hurry to get closer.
Even if he really wanted to break into the hell gate, he had to understand it clearly first.
There are indeed many patterns on the gate of hell, which are complex and mysterious, and seem to contain various principles of heaven and earth.
Such a huge door, just to carve so many patterns on it, is undoubtedly a huge project that cannot be completed by ordinary people.
Even with Zhang Ruochen's current level of cultivation, looking at these lines, one can't help but feel dizzy and unable to understand them at all.
"I remembered it. There are similar patterns in the Netherworld Dungeon and the Sword Pavilion. Could it be that these three artifacts were all refined by the same person?" Xiao Hei suddenly shouted.
Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen's heart suddenly moved, and he quickly recalled in his mind that he had entered both the Netherworld Dungeon and the Sword Pavilion before, and was no stranger to them.
He didn't pay too much attention to it before, but now after listening to Xiao Hei's words, it seems that there are indeed complicated patterns in the Netherworld Dungeon and the Sword Pavilion, which are natural.
Zhang Ruochen stared at the Guimen Pass and said: "The Guimen Pass has eighteen floors, the Netherworld Dungeon also has eighteen floors, and it is rumored that the Sword Pavilion also has eighteen floors. Is there really some connection between the three?"
There is only one Hell Gate in front of us, but the mysterious gatekeeper said that there are eighteen levels in the Hell Gate, and only by going all the way through can you finally enter the realm of hell.
Both the Netherworld Dungeon and the Sword Pavilion are extremely mysterious, and no one can tell clearly what their origins are.
According to legend, even gods can be suppressed by the Netherworld Dungeon.
After all, powerful men like Pluto who are infinitely close to gods are only imprisoned in the seventeenth level of hell.
The Sword Pavilion stores the "Wordless Sword Manual" and is the supreme holy place for sword cultivators.
In addition to the same number of floors, the Netherworld Dungeon and the Sword Pavilion have another similarity. They are both space treasures, containing the universe. Even the Sword Pavilion also contains the power of time. The higher the number of floors, the greater the ratio of the time flow rate to the outside world.
"To be able to perfectly combine the power of time and the power of space and refine it into a magical and unpredictable treasure, I'm afraid only the master of time and space can do it." Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.
Counting Zhang Ruochen, only three space-time controllers have been born in the Kunlun Realm from ancient times to the present.
According to Xiao Hei, Saint Monk Xumi is not good at refining weapons, so the person who refined the sword pavilion is most likely the mysterious first controller of time and space.
Even though he is a descendant of time and space, Zhang Ruochen still knows nothing about the first controller of time and space, because the era of his existence was too long ago, leaving only sporadic legends in later generations.
The only thing Zhang Ruochen knew was that the first controller of time and space, known as the ancestor of time and space, was one of the oldest powers in the Kunlun world.
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Ruochen used spatial movement and took Xiao Hei quickly towards the gate of hell.
In a short moment, Zhang Ruochen and Xiao Hei were less than a thousand miles away from the gate of hell.
Facing the gate of hell at such a close distance, the psychological impact is undoubtedly more intense.
"Huh? There is actually a palace here. Zhang Ruochen, does that mysterious gatekeeper you mentioned live in it?"
Suddenly, Xiao Hei discovered the tiny palace in the lower right corner of the Gate of Hell.
Of course, the so-called small is in relative terms. The palace is actually very majestic, thousands of feet high, like an ancient divine beast, entrenched in the void.
Zhang Ruochen also set his sights on the palace. Last time, he wanted to force his way into the ghost gate, but as a result, a large hand thousands of miles long stretched out from the palace and slapped him back to Bai Changxing.
Now that I think about it, to have such a terrifying method, the other party's cultivation level must be terrifyingly high.
"Young man, you're here again."
Just as he was thinking about it, a wave of mental power came from the palace.
Receiving this familiar mental power fluctuation, Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but smile and said: "After so many years, I didn't expect that the senior could still remember the junior."
At that time, he was still very weak and had not even reached the holy realm. However, the other party could remember him, which really surprised him.
"Although I have lived for a long time, my memory is very good. Young man, in such a short period of time, it is very good that you can reach the peak of the Holy King Realm. Are you planning to break through the ghost gate when you come here?" That spiritual power
Came again.
Without waiting for Zhang Ruochen to answer, Xiao Hei asked first: "Who are you? Why do you want to stay here?"
"I'm just a forgotten person. Even if I tell you, it's meaningless. Do you want to break through the ghost gate?" The hermit who claimed to be the gatekeeper asked again.
Zhang Ruochen's mind turned and he said: "With my current cultivation level, am I qualified to know some secrets about the Gate of Hell? I would like to ask my senior to clear up my doubts."
Last time, Zhang Ruochen asked a lot of questions, but the hermit who claimed to be the gatekeeper didn't tell him anything because his cultivation was too weak.
Although he already had some guesses in his mind, he still wanted to know the specific answer from the hermit's mouth.
"Tell me quickly, what is the origin of the Gate of Hell? Who created it? I have never heard of it in the Middle Ages." Xiao Hei said eagerly.
It thinks that it is well-informed and knows many secrets, but it knows nothing about the gates of hell.
The hermit pondered for a moment and said: "The peace in the Kunlun world has been broken again. Many secrets will be known to others sooner or later. There is no harm in telling you."
"Have you seen the galaxy behind the gate of hell? There is the hell realm, a powerful civilization that aims at destruction. One hundred thousand years ago, the Kunlun realm was almost destroyed by the hell realm."
"Back then, the gods of the Hell Realm used their supreme magical powers to control the entire starry sky and crush the starry sky where the Kunlun Realm is located. If not for a critical moment, a powerful person sacrificed a supreme divine weapon and turned it into a ghost gate.
Blocking the void, Kunlun Realm and many other big worlds may have been swallowed up long ago."
Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen felt a sense of suffocation and was extremely shocked. The collision of stars in the sky was incredible even when he thought about it.
And who is the powerful person who blocks the void? Ten Tribulation Asking Heavenly Lord? Death God Island Lord? Dragon Lord Jiwang? Or someone else?
"Which of the ten artifacts is the Gate of Hell? Who is that powerful person?" Zhang Ruochen asked quickly.
Although he didn't know much about the top ten artifacts, he also knew that there didn't seem to be any artifacts in the form of gates.
At the same time, he was also very curious about the powerful person who blocked the void. This person's strength must be earth-shattering and he must have a great reputation.
Unfortunately, everything about a hundred thousand years ago has been erased by an invisible force. Even the gods of Kunlun Realm are mostly unknown to future generations.
After waiting for a long time, no more words came from the palace.
Since the other party was unwilling to answer, Zhang Ruochen naturally stopped asking questions to avoid making the other party dissatisfied.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Ruochen stretched out an index finger and tapped it lightly in the void. Suddenly, the front of the fingertip condensed into a shadow of yellow smoke and asked: "Senior, has she been here before?"
"I've been here before, and after entering the gate of hell, I never came out again." The mysterious hermit said.
Zhang Ruochen was slightly shocked. It seemed that his guess was correct. All the changes in Huang Yanchen were indeed caused by the ghost gate.
However, he vaguely felt that things here were by no means that simple. Huang Yanchen could not be thrown into the hell world for no reason, and with her original strength, how could she break through the eighteenth level of hell?
After all, the mysterious hermit once said that one needs to at least reach the realm of the Holy King to be qualified to break through the ghost gate.
"After asking so many questions, are you going to go through the ghost gate?" the mysterious hermit asked.
Zhang Ruochen came back to his senses and looked at the palace, with strange lights flowing in his eyes. Where did this gatekeeper come from? Why did he guard the gate of hell? Are everything he said true?
Thinking of this, Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but said: "Actually, the junior is more interested in the senior than the ghost gate. The junior wants to ask the senior something in person."
Having said that, Zhang Ruochen made a bold move, unfolding his body skills, transforming into a stream of light, and flew towards the magnificent palace in the lower right corner of the Ghost Gate.
"boom."
When he was still five hundred miles away from the palace, Zhang Ruochen was blocked by an invisible barrier and had to stop.
"Young man, this is not the place you should come. If you don't want to go through hell, just leave." The gatekeeper said calmly.
Xiao Hei also flashed over and said, "Why are you pretending to be mysterious? I want to see who you really are."
The ninth-grade formation was in motion, condensing into a holy sword that was ten thousand feet long, emitting billions of sharp sword energy, slashing towards the palace like lightning.
"Click."
A terrifying force was transmitted from the palace, directly causing the holy sword to shatter, and all the sword energy was instantly annihilated.
The ninth-grade formation also disintegrated in an instant, cracks appeared on some of the formation flags, and Xiao Hei himself also fell backwards.
But Xiao Hei didn't pay attention to this. He stared at the palace with his eyes full of shock, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Ruochen asked in confusion.
Xiao Hei said excitedly: "What he used was the power of God's Fall. Only by practicing the "God's Fall Sutra" can this kind of power be cultivated."
"The Meteor God Sutra" is one of the six great books in the Kunlun Realm. It is an untold secret of the Meteor God Island. Under normal circumstances, only the Meteor God clan can practice it.
In the Middle Ages, the Meteor God Clan was extremely powerful, with one of the most powerful people in the Kunlun Realm, the Death God Island Master, and the Thousand Bones Empress was also from the Meteor God Clan.
The Lord of the God of Death Island is so powerful that he can be as famous as the Ten Tribulations Wentian Lord, the Holy Monk Xumi, the Dragon Lord Ji Wang and other peerless figures. He has mastered powerful mysteries and has the power to kill the gods.
Unfortunately, since the Middle Ages, the Meteor God clan has retreated to Meteor God Island and disappeared. Many people have long forgotten their existence.
Only Xiao Hei was extremely familiar with the Meteor God Clan, and was able to find the Meteor God Island in the vast sea, and took Han Xue to accept the inheritance of the "Meteor God Sutra".
"Who are you? Why did you receive the inheritance of the God of Meteor Sutra? What is your relationship with the Meteor God Clan?" Xiao Hei asked eagerly.
Now it wants to rush into the palace more than Zhang Ruochen and find out the identity of the mysterious hermit. It involves the Meteor God Clan, so it has to take care of it.
"Could it be that the one who left behind the gate of hell is the owner of the God of Death Island?" Zhang Ruochen guessed in his mind.
The mysterious hermit said: "It doesn't matter who I am. Don't make trouble here and leave quickly."
Obviously, the gatekeeper was a little displeased with Zhang Ruochen and Xiao Hei's offense.
Zhang Ruochen was about to say something, but suddenly he had a feeling and couldn't help but turn his head and look towards the distant sky.
"What is that? A person?"
A blurry figure came into Zhang Ruochen's eyes.
She carried a sword on her back, stepped on the void, and walked, seemingly very slowly, but one step at a time, one step at a time, as if she was walking from the edge of the universe to the other side of the universe.
This figure is walking along a straight line, as if it is walking, enlightening, and searching for the truth and mystery between heaven and earth.
A huge star appeared in front of this person, blocking her way. However, before she could get close, the star was penetrated by an invisible force and spread apart. It was unable to reveal the direction in which she was going.
The slightest deviation.
Zhang Ruochen's heart trembled, and he vaguely sensed that what penetrated the stars seemed to be...a sword energy. However, when he sensed it carefully, it seemed that there was no sword energy at all. Everything seemed like his illusion.
In the Saint King Realm, Zhang Ruochen had already practiced the art of swordsmanship to great perfection and considered himself to have a deep recognition of the art of swordsmanship.
But now, he felt as if he didn't understand swords at all and was far from being exposed to the essence of kendo.
There was only one thing that Zhang Ruochen could be sure of, and that was that the other party must have practiced the "Wordless Sword Manual", but had already reached a state that he could not understand.
In the blink of an eye, the figure crossed the boundless void and entered the palace where the mysterious hermit lived.
"Roar."
At this moment, Xiao Hei suddenly howled, looking extremely excited, and rushed towards the palace desperately.
Strangely enough, at this moment, that obstacle no longer exists.
"Empress, is that you? I am Tu Tian, don't you remember me?" Xiao Hei shouted loudly.
Zhang Ruochen immediately chased after him, with a strange expression on his face, and said: "Xiao Hei, your real name is actually Tu Tian, hehe... wait, the Empress? You said she is the Thousand Bones Empress?"
Zhang Ruochen suddenly reacted.
"Although I didn't see her appearance clearly, I will never mistake the empress's temperament. She must be the empress. I know that the empress must still be alive." Xiao Hei became more and more excited.
Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly. Could that person just now be the legendary Empress of Thousand Bones? He was undoubtedly skeptical in his heart.
The Empress of Thousand Bones has disappeared for a hundred thousand years and entered the depths of the underworld. Even if she is still alive, how could she appear here?
It is obviously inaccurate to judge a person's identity based on temperament alone.
What's more, given the relationship between Xiao Hei and the Thousand Bones Empress, if the person just now is really the Thousand Bones Empress, there is no reason to ignore Xiao Hei.
