Chapter 71 - Gate of Heaven

Rumble rumble rumble!

A loud sound came from the distant sky! It was as if the thunder and lightning on a rainy day was particularly loud!

Above the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range, it was as if the tranquil water surface had suddenly exploded, and the ripples on the surface rippled like ripples on a water surface.

Suddenly, the most powerful part of the ripple in the sky began to collapse. A giant, square door appeared out of nowhere, shining with pure white light. The huge, tall door stood in the sky.

Bright white light, even brighter than the sun, illuminated the entire continent. A few weak and weak people with disabilities, after being illuminated by the white light, felt their bodies relax. Some of the people who were suffering knelt down towards the huge door in the sky, saying words of thanks to the gods.

When the Gate of Heaven opened, it immediately swept across the entire continent like a hurricane. A few experts rushed to the Gate of Heaven, and some old monsters that had been cultivating in seclusion all year round suddenly woke up. Their eyes shined for a few meters before they began organizing themselves to participate in the once in every five hundred years event.

The moment the Heaven Gate opened, Li Yi bid farewell to his family and teleported to a hundred thousand mountains below the Heaven Gate. Li Yi arrived at the peak of a mountain and observed the Heaven Gate in the sky with a serious expression!

The door was unexpectedly erected in the air. There was only the front door and no back. The front of the door seemed to lead to another space. From the door, one could see the clouds and the huge beasts inside. However, there was no one behind the door – it was still a high altitude!

Li Yi was extremely shocked. He had never heard of how much power it would take to open a gate in the sky that would lead to another realm, even in his previous life.

Li Yi guessed that even the power of an immortal did not have such a profound ability. At the same time, he was also confused as to who could have opened such a door to a foreign world.

Only through personal experience could one find any clues.

At this time, a few experts who had rushed over to prepare to enter the Heaven Gate had already gathered in front of the Heaven Gate. Li Yi calculated that there were already more than a thousand people.

What shocked Li Yi the most was that there were many experts that had surpassed Divine level, and there were even two that had reached the strength of the middle stage of the Void Level. How could this not shock Li Yi?

After the members of the family settled down, the white light shining from the door gradually dimmed down!

As the Gate of Heaven stabilized, these experts with the lowest strength of a Deity began to rush in.

Li Yi did not stop at all, following the crowd in, only then did Li Yi realize, what used to be a vast world.

After Li Yi entered the Illusory World of Heaven, he turned his head around only to discover that there was nothing behind him. Where did this Gate of Heaven come from, it was only a void, and only streams of people constantly appeared out of nowhere.

Some people who entered the Illusory World of Heaven immediately started flying away. It was clear that this was not the first time they entered the Illusory World of Heaven, and there were even some who, like this was their first time here, constantly patrolling the place from left to right.

Li Yi did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he stood in his original spot and observed his surroundings.

Li Yi realized that the spirit energy here was more than ten times thicker than outside. Just by relying on this, he was able to make the experts outside fight their way in, and cultivation here was ten times faster than outside.

Li Yi scanned the place with his consciousness, and was secretly shocked, there were actually this many strong existences here.

Looking at the surroundings from Li Yi's position, there were countless tall mountains, towering into the sky like giants standing on the ground, raising their heads to the sky! In the depths of the mountain, there were many Goblin Beasts. Yes, it was a Goblin Beast, and these Goblin Beasts generally had the strength of the Emptiness Realm, but in the hills surrounding the mountain, there were many Goblin Beasts, and even those on the continent could be found here. Li Yi was secretly surprised, what exactly was this place.

And what was even more surprising to Li Yi was that after entering the Illusory World of Heaven, there was actually an enormous sea of fire right in front of him. In the middle of the sea of fire was an enormous palace.

Li Yi observed the flames and was shocked to realize that it was the Samadhi True Fire, and it had existed for such a long time! The Samadhi True Fire could only be released when a cultivator reached the Aurous Core stage. It was also known as the Samadhi True Fire.

The Samadhi Fire could not only refine medicinal pills, it could also refine low-grade spiritual tools. If one wanted to refine high-grade top grade spirit weapon, then it would need the Six Concealed True Fire.

What truly shocked Li Yi was the palace that stood amidst the sea of flames. Li Yi carefully observed, and a burst of pressure that felt like the might of a Creation God blew over, causing Li Yi to want to kneel down. Li Yi was secretly shocked, just what kind of great ability was this, it was no wonder that none of the people who entered walked towards it.

Li Yi tightly held onto his imposing manner, and immediately felt his entire body lighten, Li Yi slowly walked towards the sea of fire. There was a stone bridge at the edge of the sea of fire that led to the central palace.

A stone tablet was erected beside the stone bridge near the sea of fire. On the stone tablet was written: "Life and death at first place is difficult, but the body of the person in third place is able to pass through the nine heavens."

Li Yi thought for a while and understood the meaning behind this action. That was to say that this bridge was the Heavenly Passage Bridge, and upon entering it, one's life and death was unpredictable.

The bridge was a heavenly bridge, and it stretched towards the palace in the sky diagonally. However, the distant part of the bridge could not be seen at all, as it was completely engulfed by the Samadhi True Fire. Li Yi wanted to use his consciousness to observe it, but discovered that his consciousness could not enter the sea of fire.

On the bridge, there was a faint layer of Samadhi True Fire, which was only just as thick as the sea of fire. Li Yi guessed that maybe the faint Samadhi True Fire outside could only be used for testing to see if it could withstand the test of Samadhi True Fire, and only if it could, would one be able to enter the bridge, so that there was a thread of possibility for one to pass the refinement of the Samadhi True Flame.

Li Yi couldn't suppress his curiosity and wanted to explore inside. He looked around, but he still held himself back as he had other things to do since he had come here, and thus, walked into the distance with a look at the stone bridge.

Those who entered the Illusory World of Heaven were basically all travelling together, and only a few super experts were traveling alone. Li Yi scanned his surroundings with his consciousness and discovered that there were some experts who had found a hidden place to meditate and were actually here to cultivate.

Li Yi realised, so the energy crystals were actually produced here. These experts were here to rob them, it was obvious that the spirit veins in the mountain were producing energy crystals, the God-ranked magical beast inside actually knew how to use the crystals to cultivate.

Maybe it was the first time that someone had discovered that this kind of energy crystal could be used for Divine Ranked Rankers to cultivate in, so every time the Illusory World of Heaven was opened, it would attract a large number of strong bandits. Killing these beasts would not only get a small amount of energy crystals, but also a magic core and fur.

There were also some people who wanted to look for the place where energy crystals were produced. It wasn't that the experts couldn't find the place where energy crystals were produced, but that they couldn't find the place where the energy crystals were produced either.

Therefore, snatching the crystal cores became everyone's occupation.

However, the people who came here weren't without danger. Some of them had intruded into the territory of the powerful magical beasts, so these people were naturally unlucky. There were also powerful magic beasts that roamed the area, and if they saw an intruder, they would mercilessly attack.

Fight!

The sound of swords clashing rang out as sword energy weaved through the air!

These Divine level experts no longer had their usual courteous and modest appearances. Each of them was even more of a bandit than the bandits, directly attacking and robbing other people's homes.

It was as if he had returned to his previous life where a few gangs were fighting over resources.

Li Yi who was walking ahead suddenly stopped, he raised his head and said to the left: "Brother, if you are interested, can we go together?!"

Li Yi had long noticed that there were people paying attention to him, and that he was a super strong expert who was in the middle stage of the Void Initiation Stage. For such experts, Li Yi had only noticed five of them, but this one had been observing since Li Yi entered the room.

When Li Yi talked to him, he was startled, then laughed bitterly and flew up to Li Yi: "Little friend, I have not been able to see through your cultivation, so I was curious, and asked you to forgive me!"

This person was about the same age as an old man. His hair and beard were all white, but his eyes would occasionally shine, and his complexion was like a baby's, radiating red light. He truly deserved to be called a supreme expert.

Li Yi cupped his fists, and said politely: "Senior, this child is too polite, how can this puny one compare with senior."

"You're too polite. I can see that you're quite young, yet you're actually able to arrive at this place. Also, I can't see through your cultivation as well. Can you dispel this old man's confusion?" Curiosity could be seen in the old man's eyes.

Li Yi gestured with his hand: "Senior, we are walking and chatting, I am only cultivating a technique to conceal my own aura, there is nothing special about it."

"So that's how it is!" The old man seemed to have suddenly realized something, and then he said with some doubt, "Hm, that's not right. You shouldn't be more than 30 years old, how can you have such a high cultivation level!"

"Senior has good eyesight. I am twenty years old and am only cultivating faster!" Li Yi replied indifferently, Li Yi realized, although this person had an extremely high cultivation, he did not understand the ways of the world, how could he ask about the background of others on his first meeting, it must be because he was a martial fanatic who only knew how to cultivate. Li Yi had seen this kind of person too many times in his previous life, so he did not mind them.

"Twenty years old?!" The old man was surprised, he stared at Li Yi and asked curiously: "You really only have twenty years?"

Li Yi did not know whether to laugh or cry. Since he was not in a rush, he might as well let this expert chat as he pleased. "Why would I lie to you?"

The old man laughed awkwardly, then his expression changed: "Could it be that you are the Li Family's famous Li Yi?!"

"That's him! I didn't expect that even the old seniors would know of this lad's name. It is truly an honor! " Li Yi nodded.

Seeing Li Yi nod his head, the old man's eyes immediately lit up, he became agitated and spoke to Li Yi: "It really is you, tell me what your cultivation level is, to be able to release an ultimate move that will cause the world to lose color, and that Nan Gong Family brat is actually not your opponent."

Li Yi laughed bitterly, if he met such a person, he would have to answer honestly. Although with his current strength, Li Yi could easily fight against a middle stage Void Initiation Stage expert, Li Yi did not want to deny the old man's respect.

Walker was the name given to breaking through Divine level experts on the continent. Every time a person broke through, they would gain another level. For example, Li Yi currently had the strength of a late stage Void Stage, which was also stage three. The old man's cultivation was at the Mid Void level, which was also the fifth level of the Wanderer Stage.

"The old man's body suddenly trembled, as though he was looking at a demon, he stared at Li Yi, although he guessed that Li Yi had such power, but hearing it with his own ears, it was still unbelievable, after all, Li Yi is only so young! If the old man knew that Li Yi had the power to fight him, who knew what he would think.

The old man felt a bit dizzy and then said, "When you unleashed that terrifying sword strike, I was in seclusion, but the shocking power of that sword strike brought me back to reality. I almost had a Qigong deviation." When the old man said Li Yi's sword, his eyes flashed with a trembling light, "With the power of that sword, your cultivation was no weaker than mine, and might even be higher."

After that, the old man stared at Li Yi and circled around Li Yi. He muttered: "What a little pervert, how did it cultivate?"

Li Yi laughed bitterly, he really should not be ignoring the old man, he had truly picked up a rock and threw it at his own foot!

Suddenly, the old man turned to face Li Yi. He stared at him with blazing eyes and said emotionally: "Kid, do you have a cultivation technique?!"

Li Yi was a little doubtful, but asked him a question: "How do you cultivate?!"

After the old man heard Li Yi's question, his eyes immediately revealed a lonely expression. His eyes squinted to the sky, sinking into endless memories, and slowly said: "It's been more than five thousand years, ever since I've broken through the divine stage, I've been trying to figure it out bit by bit. How many times I've been caught in cultivation crises, how many times I've had my cultivation deviation and almost died. Sigh! There is no God Tier cultivation technique on this continent. Everyone has been trying to figure out how many talented geniuses have died because of this! "

Although his words were soft, how many moments of life and death could be seen in them? The old man didn't have any pride in his current strength, instead, he had endless helplessness. He yearned to be a martial artist, but he didn't have a goal in front of him.

Li Yi could understand the helplessness the old man was feeling. Five thousand years of cultivation was extremely rare in the cultivation world, not to mention the fact that the warriors here relied on their own exploration.

After a long while, the old man came back to reality, he stared at Li Yi and asked passionately: "Do you have a cultivation technique?" No wonder the old man was so anxious. After all, this was a hope.

Looking at the fervent expression in the old man's eyes, Li Yi nodded his head. With the old man's warrior's heart, Li Yi would tell him everything.

To give others hope was to give oneself a hope.
