Three days ago, spiritual beings from all over the world gathered at Zhu Lu Mountain and opened the legendary Door of Ascension.
Then, these spiritual beings rushed in impatiently and disappeared without a trace.
It's been three days and there's been no news. Nobody has walked out of the Door of Ascension. What's worse is that no matter how many messages were sent out or how many treasures were used, nobody could get in touch with the people who entered.
In other words, the outside world could not get any information.
This caused the two realms to fall silent.
Though nobody walked out, meaning those people may have ascended to the immortal realm, there was another possibility – they all died.
This possibility was, without a doubt, higher.
Because after those people stepped through the Door of Ascension, there was no sign of them ascending. It didn't look like they were ascending to immortality.
Though this doesn't mean anything, it was like a bucket of cold water that woke everyone up a little.
Therefore, the two worlds were silent. Everyone was in a state of struggle. They wanted to ascend, but they were afraid of falling into the abyss.
After Ling Xian heard this news, he too fell into silence. Then, he made up his mind to enter the Door of Ascension and find out what was going on.
Of course, he wasn't dumb enough to enter with his real body. After all, based on all the eeriness, the Door of Ascension could be a trap.
"I will enter with my clone. I sure want to see what happens after I step through the Door of Ascension." Ling Xian's expression was determined. He wanted to find out the truth.
To him, this was even more important than the Door of Ascension.
All because he felt like he had fallen into a trap.
The moment he acquired the Key of Ascension from the Shang Qing Sect, he had fallen into a trap. Or else how could it be so coincidental?
He appeared at Zhu Lu Mountain of the Futu Domain and coincidentally, the Door of Ascension appeared. Coincidentally, he had the Key of Ascension.
Everything was far too coincidental. Plus, someone spread the news that he had the Key of Ascension. This made Ling Xian even more suspicious.
"The legend of the Door of Ascension has been around for tens of thousands of years. It has left a deep impression in everyone's heart."
"Plus, the Qi that can increase a cultivator's cultivation level and lifespan, and the fact that I have the Key of Ascension, of course everyone believed in it. They all crazily wanted to step through the Door of Ascension."
"In this situation, if there is an ambush behind the Gate of Ascension, wouldn't it be able to bury the entire world?"
"If that's the case, then this plot is too terrifying."
"The purpose of the fusion of the two realms is self-evident. It must be to suppress the emergence of a top powerhouse in the Eternal World. Now, a Gate of Ascension has appeared. Does it really want to slaughter everyone in the world?"
Ling Xian made a bold assumption. Though he had no proof, he felt like his guess was correct.
There were too many strange things, and he knew some secrets that the world didn't know about. Naturally, he could look at the problem from the perspective of a bystander.
With that, he naturally saw a conspiracy.
"What a frightening plot. If it is truly as I have guessed, the two realms will be in danger."
Sighing, Ling Xian's gaze turned determined. No matter what the truth was, he had to go and find out.
Therefore, he made his move and headed towards Zhu Lu Mountain.
Three days later, Ling Xian passed through the endless darkness and returned to where he once bathed in blood.
There was still a sea of people here, and it was an unprecedented grand occasion.
Everyone's eyes were burning with passion, but there was also a bit of fear as they looked at the Gate of Ascension, not willing to leave, nor did they dare to enter.
"The temptation of becoming an immortal is far too great."
Ling Xian silently sighed and shifted his gaze towards the Gate of Ascension.
It stood proudly in midair and seven colors of light pierced through the sky. There was no trace of evil, only heavenly energy.
Especially after it was activated, the energy was getting more and more mysterious. The heavenly energy was getting thicker and thicker.
But when he looked at the Gate again, Ling Xian's gaze was no longer heated. All he had was determination.
For himself, and for everyone in the world.
At this moment, he no longer hesitated and formed a clone.
At his level, forming a clone was nothing. Though the clone wasn't as powerful as the original, it still had 70 percent of his battling abilities.
More importantly, everything the clone experienced could be instantly reflected back to the original. It was no different than experiencing it himself.
Therefore, Ling Xian's original body hid amongst the crowd while his clone leaped into the sky and arrived before the Gate of Ascension.
This action attracted everyone's gaze.
"Isn't that Ling Xian? He is entering the Gate of Ascension? "
"It looks like there's another missing person."
"Yeah, I wonder what happened to the people who entered the Gate of Ascension. Did they go to the immortal world or did they fall into hell?"
Everyone chimed in. Some were hopeful, some were pitiful.
It's been three days and there hasn't been the slightest movement. Even the omnipotent with their treasures couldn't sense what was going on inside.
Therefore, everyone thought Ling Xian had lost contact with them as well.
"Let me reveal the truth."
Staring at the seven-colored door, Ling Xian mumbled. Then, he slowly but determinedly stepped forward and walked into the Gate of Ascension.
Then, he felt like the world was spinning. It was as if he had entered a different universe and arrived in another world.
The immortal world!
Before him, birds were chirping and flowers were fragrant. It was extremely peaceful and the entire world was filled with heavenly energy. Even one breath could increase one's lifespan by 10 years!
This made Ling Xian excited. He suddenly felt like he was overthinking things. What conspiracy? What mastermind? It was all his own imagination.
Therefore, he was excited. He was even going crazy!
After cultivating for so many years, wasn't it to ascend to immortality and live forever? Today, he had entered the immortal world and obtained immortality. Why wouldn't he go crazy?
However, just then, Ling Xian suddenly felt a terrifying force wrapping around him. Under this force, all the bones in his body broke and blood began to pour out.
Immediately, Ling Xian shuddered and realized something was wrong. Then, he muttered the Incantation of a Calm Heart and saw through all the illusions.
The scenery of the immortal world disappeared in an instant. What replaced it was corpses and fresh blood. As far as the eye could see, everything within a thousand miles was dark red. It was as terrifying as hell.
This wasn't the immortal world, it was hell!
A true hell!
Instantly, Ling Xian shuddered. As if he had fallen into an icy hell, his entire body turned cold.
On his journey, he had seen far too many terrifying scenes and he had killed many people. But he has never seen such a horrifying scene!
The heavy smell of blood washed over him, making his stomach churn and nauseous.
"Just what is this place? These corpses … are they all the living beings who entered this place? "Ling Xian's entire body was cold. Even with his mentality, he was shocked by this scene.
It was far too terrifying. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe this place as a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses!
This meant Ling Xian's guess was correct. The Soaring Door was a trap.
As for those creatures, they were killed by that mysterious power and left here forever.
"They all died."
Ling Xian's eyes revealed his shock. As he fought against the mysterious force, he marched forward with difficulty towards the corpses.
Then, he saw the cultivators who forced him to hand over the key.
