After Mo Rongzhan activated the formation, there was a dazzling light in front of him, so dazzling that he couldn't open his eyes. After a long time, he felt the shaking stop.
When he opened his eyes, his surroundings had completely changed. It was no longer the desolate hell from before. He stood beside a small lake that was so clear that he could see the bottom. There was nothing around him except a hazy fog. There was a small island in the middle of the lake, and on the island was a long ladder that extended into the sky. He did not know where it led to.
"Is this the Ninth Heaven? Why does it look different? "Quan Xian asked in a low voice.
"Have you been here before?" Mo Rongzhan asked lightly.
Quan Xian was stunned for a moment, "No, but my sister said that above the Ninth Heaven, there are mountains and rivers where the sun and moon never sleep. There are layers of treasures, the four seasons are beautiful, the golden pot contains the wine of immortality, the glaze contains the elixir of life, the peach trees are fragrant, and the flowers wither once in a thousand years. Look, where are the mountains and rivers that never sleep, where are the layers, not even a peach tree."
"What you said is just the speculation of the mortal world about the Ninth Heaven." Mo Rongzhan glanced at him. These were all descriptions passed down by the ancient people. No one knew whether they were true or not.
"What speculation? My sister will not lie. What she said must be true." Quan Xian snorted.
Mo Rongzhan looked at the long ladder, picked up Quan Xian and flew to the center of the lake. If he guessed correctly, this should be the Weak Water Abyss below the Ninth Heaven. To reach the Ninth Heaven Gate, he had to pass through this Heaven Ladder.
"I … I'm not going!" Quan Xian cried, "I'll wait for you here."
"It's not up to you." Mo Rongzhan said lightly and walked towards the Heaven Ladder.
They had only taken a few steps when Quan Xian's face turned pale and he gasped, "I … I'm really out of strength. The Heaven Ladder consumes spiritual power. I'm just a little sea monster. I can't go up the Heaven Ladder at all."
Mo Rongzhan frowned and glanced at him. He didn't feel anything on the Heaven Stairway, every step was light and quick. However, Quan Xian didn't look like he was faking it. His demonic power was almost depleted.
They had only taken a few steps on the Heaven Ladder when Quan Xian was so tired that he collapsed.
"You … why don't you feel anything?" Quan Xian looked at Mo Rongzhan and asked. Even if Mo Rongzhan wasn't a demonic beast, as long as he wasn't a god from the Nine Heavens, walking the stairway would consume spiritual power.
"Why do I have a feeling?" Mo Rongzhan asked coldly.
Quan Xian took a deep breath. "This is the Stairway to Heaven. Even I know that the Stairway to Heaven will consume spiritual power. Don't you know that?"
Mo Rongzhan lifted his eyes and looked at the Sky Stairwell. He had heard of the Sky Stairwell of the Nine Heavens. Each step represented a cultivation level. Hence, if one did not cultivate to the highest cultivation level, it would be impossible to ascend to the Nine Heavens.
"Wait for me here." Mo Rongzhan said indifferently. Without his array, Quan Xian would not be able to leave.
Quan Xian heaved a sigh of relief and slid down two steps. "Sir, take care."
Mo Rongzhan glanced at him indifferently and continued to walk forward.
He walked up step by step. The Sea of Qi was spinning faster and faster, but his spiritual power was not affected. It was different from what he had heard before.
The stairway to heaven had a total of 9,999 steps. When Mo Rongzhan reached the middle, he could no longer see the lake at the bottom when he looked back. There was only a hazy mist.
It seemed like the spiritual power in the Sea of Qi was not affected at all.
Mo Rongzhan frowned slightly. Was the legend wrong, or … was there another reason?
Above the Nine Heavens, there were hundreds of gods and all living things. It had a circumference of 800 miles and a height of 70,000 feet. There were nine doors on each side. Each door was guarded by an Enlightened Beast. Below it was the Abyss of Weak Water. Outside it was the Mountain of Fire. From afar, it was radiating light …
If there was a flash of red light, it was probably the Mountain of Fire.
When Mo Rongzhan reached the last step, a different scene appeared in front of him.
In the distance, there were many mountain peaks. On the mountain peaks, there were majestic palaces and beautiful gardens. The surroundings were filled with exotic flowers and trees, rare birds and auspicious beasts. In front of him was a majestic and sacred door. In front of the door were two Qilin beasts. They noticed Mo Rongzhan and stared at him fiercely.
The Earth Gate! This was one of the Nine Gates above the Nine Heavens.
Once he entered this gate, he would have truly arrived at the Nine Heavens.
Mo Rongzhan took a step forward. The two Qilin beasts let out deafening roars, but they didn't move forward. They just laid their front paws on the ground and sized him up.
"I have something to ask of the Grand Emperor," Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice. He didn't want to fight the gatekeeping beasts right after arriving at the Nine Heavens.
"Who are you?" One of the green Qilin circled Mo Rongzhan. It felt a familiar aura from this person, but it wasn't sure. Normal martial arts practitioners couldn't come here without a change in expression. He actually didn't use any spirit energy at all.
"Emperor Mo," Mo Rongzhan said.
The red Qilin shouted, "I've never heard of a high god called Emperor Mo in the Nine Heavens."
"I'm not a high god. I'm from the human continent," Mo Rongzhan said.
"Human continent?" The green Qilin looked at Mo Rongzhan in confusion. "You can actually come here. You can't be a mortal."
The red Qilin blocked in front of Mo Rongzhan. "Your cultivation is already at the sacred emperor level, but you still don't have the right to enter the Nine Heavens. Go back!"
"I want to see the Grand Emperor," Mo Rongzhan said solemnly. The highest god in the Nine Heavens was the Grand Emperor.
"The Grand Emperor isn't someone you can see just because you want to!" the red Qilin shouted.
Mo Rongzhan frowned. Did he have to force his way into the Nine Heavens?
He wondered how long it would take to deal with these two Qilins.
"I thought you would come back from the Gate of Hell." Suddenly, a gentle voice came. "Green Qilin, Red Qilin, step back. Don't you recognize who he is?"
Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows slightly and turned his head to see a white figure floating over. It was a young woman who was as beautiful as the autumn moon. Her posture was light and graceful, and she had an aura of an immortal.
"Exalted Immortal Frostless." The two Qilins bowed to the woman and retreated to the side. However, they were still sizing up Mo Rongzhan. This man … Was he really a high god from the Nine Heavens?
His aura was strange yet familiar …
"You're finally back. I've been waiting for you here." Exalted Immortal Frostless raised her head to look at Mo Rongzhan with a faint smile and a gentle gaze.
Mo Rongzhan frowned. "I don't know you."
"I know." Exalted Immortal Frostless nodded. "That's because you reincarnated and lost all your memories."
"Can I go in?" Mo Rongzhan pointed at the door. He was here to find the Grand Emperor. As for other things, he didn't really care.
His previous identity in the Nine Heavens wasn't important.
Exalted Immortal Frostless nodded. "This is your home."
"Are you the high god here?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
"… Yes." Exalted Immortal Frostless looked at Mo Rongzhan with a faint gaze.
"Don't you know what's happening down there?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a deep voice.
Exalted Immortal Frostless was stunned. "What's wrong?"
"The ancient blood devil has awakened, Wen Tian has been resurrected, great demon beasts are causing havoc in the human continent and Xuantian Continent, and High God Jun Qian is missing. Don't you know?"
"It's not that we don't know, but we can't do anything," Exalted Immortal Frostless said in a low voice.
