Chapter 311: Immortal Gate And The Supreme Powerhouses!
Edited by: Mochiusagi
“The Ta– Tang Empire’s Celestial?”
The old Taoist turned stiff, and was full of bitterness.
He never thought that even the very famous Heaven Fate’s Gate Qi Concealment technique in the last Prosperous Era could not hide from Su Qin.
Even Earth Immortals wouldn’t be able to notice.
Yet, here we are. Su Qin not only detected it, the old Taoist was also approached by the former.
The old Taoist thought a lot in the short amount of time he had. Finally, he got up and gave a respectful bow towards Su Qin: “Heaven Fate’s Gate’s Tian Ji Zi greets the Celestial.”
“He is the Celestial of the Tang Empire?” The young Taoist felt his scalp tingle. Although he had seen Su Qin from a distance, standing on the palace wall just now, it was only a sneak peek. Now that Su Qin had appeared in front of them, he felt like a pile of mud when compared against the vast sky.
Even if Su Qin didn’t release any aura, the young Taoist couldn’t breathe. His True Essence and Spirit Sense had almost stagnated completely. It was as if he was not facing a Human, but a prehistoric beast that could devour the universe.
“Heaven’s Fate Gate?”
Su Qin casually sat on the sandalwood chair, as his eyes slightly narrowed.
Overseas, the Heaven Fate’s Gate was special. It does not belong to any Major Sect, nor do they have many disciples. Rather, they pursue divination.
It was precisely because of this, that the disciples of Heaven Fate’s Gate were basically addicted to the deduction techniques and not interested in fighting.
Decades ago, there was news of the emergence of the battlefield overseas. Ruan Qing came to Chang’an City because of this, and it was the Heaven Fate’s Gate Tian Ji Zi that predicted it.
“Interesting.”
Su Qin slightly smiled and tapped his right hand on the table. The people in the inn then recovered from the initial stagnation. It was as if they didn’t notice what just happened, as they simply continued talking and doing whatever they did.
“This is?”
When Tian Ji Zi saw this, he was shocked. Other Peak Legends might not see anything, but he noticed that at that moment, Su Qin used the power of his Primordial Spirit to forcibly suppress everything in the inn.
This led to the situation where time almost stopped.
However, time didn’t actually stop. Rather, it’s just the hearts of everyone that had froze. Though everyone’s blood still flowed, as their hearts were beating, to keep them alive.
To be able to silently do such a thing to at least hundreds of people, Su Qin’s Primordial Spirit Strength was simply incredible!
This was 100 times harder than simply killing them.
“Tell me, why are people from the Heaven Fate’s Gate here?”
Su Qin asked.
If Tian Ji Zi came to Chang’an City in a transparent manner, Su Qin naturally won’t bother them. But this Tian Ji Zi had restrained his Qi and spied on Su Qin.
Naturally, Su Qin was ‘interested’ in their purpose.
“I just want to see if the Celestial came from ‘that’ place…” Tian Ji Zi hesitated for a bit, before immediately saying: “If it offended the Celestial, the Heaven Fate’s Gate is willing to appease you…”
Tian Ji Zi’s tone was extremely sincere.
He had no choice, as Su Qin had even killed seven Half-Step Earth Immortals. If Tian Ji Zi dared to provoke Su Qin, the Heaven Fate’s Gate would end up just like the Myriad Sword Sect.
“‘That’ place?”
“What place?”
Su Qin’s eyes flashed.
Hearing this, Tian Ji Zi cautiously asked, “Does the Celestial not know about the Immortal Gate?”
“Immortal Gate?”
Su Qin’s eyes flickered.
This was the second time that Su Qin had heard about the Immortal Gate. The first time was when he destroyed the Myriad Sword Sect, where Fei Yu informed him about its existence.
According to Fei Yu, the Immortal Gate contained the secret of the further breakthrough for the Earth Immortals. In the thousands of years overseas, every Earth Immortal would search for this place upon nearing their death.
According to Su Qin’s guess, the Immortal Gate should be related to the last Prosperous Era. As for the specific connection, it was not clear what kind of existence the Immortal Gate was. After all, even Fei Yu knew little about it.
“Does the Celestial really not know about the Immortal Gate?”
“Did the Celestial really come from there?”
Seeing Su Qin’s reaction, Tian Ji Zi’s eyes suddenly lit up, and his tone showed a hint of excitement.
“Why do you think so?”
Su Qin asked.
“The Celestial suddenly appeared. After all, Cultivation during a drought in vitality is hard and even if it’s recovering, the process is gradual. Except for the legendary Immortal Gate, I really can’t think of any other reason…”
Tian Ji Zi honestly replied.
Of course, Tian Ji Zi didn’t mention the most important point and that was: When Su Qin appeared, he and the Major Sects were at odds with each other, so Su Qin couldn’t possibly be from one of them.
“I’m not from the Immortal Gate.”
Su Qin shook his head and said. With his current strength on par with Earth Immortals, he didn’t need the support of the Immortal Gate.
“The Celestial is not from the Immortal Gate?”
When Tian Ji Zi heard these words, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.
Tian Ji Zi never doubted what Su Qin said. After all, with Su Qin’s strength, there was no need to lie to him.
“Tell me about the Immortal Gate.”
Su Qin looked at Tian Ji Zi and said.
“Yes.”
Tian Ji Zi thought for a while and organized his thoughts. He said in a deep voice: “The Immortal Gate was left by several Supreme Powerhouses in the last prosperous era to fight against the silence of vitality and other Cultivation detriments.”
“It’s left by the Supreme Powerhouses?”
Su Qin had a thoughtful look on his face, but this was in line with his guess. Originally, Su Qin suspected that the so-called Immortal Gate was similar to the War God Temple and was related to Supreme Powerhouses.
“Above the Earth Immortals are the Supreme Powerhouses, but this is not the name of the realm. It is simply a description of the realm. For example, the Buddhist Arhats are called Venerables, and Earth Immortals are called Celestials.”
When Tian Ji Zi reached this point, his face became solemn: “The Realm after the Earth Immortal Realm is called the Broken Void.”
“Broken Void?”
Su Qin’s expression remained unchanged, but there were waves slowly rising in his heart.
A Broken Void Realm expert could shatter the void with their every gesture, like a God destroying things at will.
Broken Void Realm Experts had begun to comprehend the power of space, and it was by the power of space that they could break the void.
This was why only Supreme Powerhouses could create spatial artifacts.
“The vitality is like a wave, it rises and falls from time to time. Since the Supreme Powerhouses understand the power of space, they naturally realized this early. Therefore, in the last prosperous era, the few remaining Supreme Powerhouses joined forces in creating a world where their descendants can take shelter…”
“The small world created is independent of the Human World, so it is not affected by the wave of vitality in the Human World. Hence, it can avoid the silence of vitality…”
Tian Ji Zi said with awe in his voice.
Compared to the sky-reaching means of creating a small world, Earth Immortals were as small as specks of dust. In some respect, a Broken Void Realm expert was considered a ‘true’ immortal.
“So that’s how it is.”
Su Qin nodded slightly. Some doubts in his mind were finally resolved.
Su Qin had always wondered why there was almost no information about Supreme Powerhouses, even overseas.
It seems that it was not that the Major Sects were deliberately concealing the information, rather they had little relationships with the Supreme Powerhouses and had no means of contacting them.
After all, the Supreme Powerhouses brought their descendants and related people into the small world.
As for the small world called the ‘Immortal Gate,’ even if it couldn’t maintain the concentration of the same amount of vitality and Spirit in the last Prosperous Era, it would not be far behind. It would be enough to maintain the breakthrough of Earth Immortals and even Supreme Powerhouses.
This was also the reason why Earth Immortals searched for it, as it’s only there could they meet the conditions of a breakthrough.
Further, because the Supreme Powerhouses had placed all of the related people into the Immortal Gate, they naturally wouldn’t leave any inheritance on the outside, since it would be useless in the silence of vitality.
“The Immortal Gate…”
Su Qin repeated these two words in a low voice.
Originally, Su Qin thought that the Immortal Gate was the name of a sect, or faction. He did not expect it to be a small world opened up by the joint efforts of the most powerful people.
“But.”
Tian Ji Zi hesitated for a while, and continued:
“Although the Immortal Gate is a small world opened up by the Supreme Powerhouses, it is, after all, only a small world and isn’t completely disconnected from the Human World. According to our Heaven Fate’s Gate’s Sect Master’s speculation, when the wave of vitality recovers, the Immortal Gate will reopen.”
“By that time, the beings in the Immortal Gate would once again set foot into this world.”
