"Gate of Destinies? What kind of joke is that? This thing is just a legend, "Tang Xian said furiously.
The Gate of Destinies was a legend in this world. According to ancient legends, after the first batch of cultivators in this world stepped into tier nine of the Divine level, they gathered endless resources to create a Gate of Destinies in order to reach a higher realm and break through the world's restraints.
As long as one passed through the Gate of Destinies, they would be able to turn from a human into a god, break through the world's restraints, reach the other shore, and attain the Great Dao.
Therefore, Tang Xian's first reaction when he heard this was that it was unreliable.
However, the lady in palace attire said, "That might not be the case. It's rumored that Old Ancestor Zhai Xing has obtained the legacy of the Ancient Heavenly Court and found the method to create the Gate of Destinies. The Longevity Palace and the Ascendant Heavenly Sect have both confirmed this matter. Therefore, our Hundred Rivers Sect plans on joining in as well."
With that, the Hundred Rivers Sect's female disciple, Gong Yuyan, carefully threw a glance at Tang Xian and Huang Shan. After giving it some thought, she still reminded them, "Seniors, now that Old Ancestor Zhai Xing is comprehending destinies and his cultivation is exceedingly high, please restrain your grief and be careful."
She had wanted to advise them not to harbor any thoughts of revenge. Otherwise, they would still be beaten to death. However, when the words reached her lips, she still felt that they were not close enough. Therefore, she ended up advising them to be careful instead.
Huang Shan let out a cold laugh and wanted to tell them the truth. How could that Venerable Master Zhai Xing be so amazing as to be able to defeat the other two tier nine Divine level experts? He had clearly been defeated by Fang Xingjian together. He had escaped back alone and then bullied the Heavenly Emperor and Immortal Yuqing whose main bodies had been defeated.
Right now, the Heavenly Emperor and Immortal Yuqing were probably only left with a hint of their clones in the Longevity Palace and the Ascendant Heavenly Sect. That was why they could only submit to Venerable Master Zhai Xing's martial prowess.
However, just as Huang Shan wanted to say this, he was stopped by Fang Xingjian. Fang Xingjian was naturally unwilling for his side to expose their tracks so easily.
Tang Xian composed himself and said, "Thank you for your reminder, miss. We'll be returning to the sect first. Farewell."
With that, the four of them left.
Gong Yuyan's Junior Sister sighed and said, "Senior Sister, do you think they will take things too hard and seek revenge?"
Looking at the three people who had left, Gong Yuyan shook her head and sighed, saying, "I only hope that they can be a little more rational. Even the Heavenly Emperor and Immortal Yuqing have been defeated. Right now, there's probably no one in the higher realm who can go up against Venerable Master Zhai Xing."
On the other hand, Tang Xian and the other three hurried over to the Repose Palace and saw a huge city situated in the basin appearing before their eyes. Every road and every building was squarish. Clearly, they had been strictly divided.
However, there wasn't any liveliness in Freedom City at the moment. Everyone shut their doors tightly, and the streets were filled with white mourning clothes. It gave off a gloomy and gloomy feeling.
Tang Xian frowned and immediately descended towards the center of the city. As he was descending, several cultivators came up to him.
When the young man in the lead saw Tang Xian, he immediately revealed an excited expression.
"Senior Brother Tang, you're finally back! Senior Brother Huang, you're back too! "
Tang Xian looked at the young man in the lead and sighed. He asked, "Junior Brother Ning, what's going on?"
Ning Chongxiao had a sorrowful look on his face as he said, "Senior Brother, the Flying Celestial Sect wants us to hand over all the manuals in the palace, open up the treasury, and share the resources. They say that once the Gate of Destinies is completed, they will allow us to enter and reach the other shore. How could Master and the others agree? He immediately rejected their request. In the end, Old Scoundrel Zhai Xing personally made a move and completely shattered the martial wills of Master and the others. He did not even leave a single clone behind! "
Hearing Ning Chongxiao's words, Tang Xian's countenance turned livid. "You're going too far."
Another Junior Brother advised, "Senior Brother Tang, be careful with your words. Now that the Flying Celestial Sect is powerful, and Master and the others have all passed away, we have no choice but to lower our heads. Otherwise, the Repose Palace's thousand-year foundation will be destroyed in our hands."
Ning Chongxiao said bitterly, "Senior Brother Tang, Junior Brother Song is right. Although we have an irreconcilable feud with the Flying Celestial Cult, we can only lie low and bear with it for the time being. "Thankfully, Senior Brother, you managed to avoid this calamity and have returned. You can once again support our Repose Palace. "The Flying Celestial Sect's Hundred Sects Grand Ceremony will be held in a few days' time. Venerable Master Zhai Xing will officially become the Alliance Chief of the higher realm's immortal sects' Hundred Sects. "I was worried that there would be no one in the Repose Palace and that we would be bullied. It's good that you're back now."
"Hmph, Hundred Sects Grand Ceremony?" Tang Xian felt a surge of resentment in his chest. However, when he looked at the calm and collected Fang Xingjian, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He felt extremely thankful that he had brought Fang Xingjian along. With such a great character around, he could take care of Venerable Master Zhai Xing.
At the thought of this, Tang Xian instructed Ning Chongxiao, "Alright, Junior Brother Ning, these two are friends I got to know outside. Arrange the best guest rooms for them. We'll be participating in the Hundred Sects Grand Ceremony in a few days' time."
Just at this moment, a cold snort rang out. Then, several old men leaped through the air and stood before Tang Xian, coldly sweeping their gazes over him and Huang Shan. These few old men were dressed in luxurious clothes, and their auras soared into the sky. Their faces were filled with insufferably arrogant expressions. When they saw Tang Xian and Huang Shan, they also had a slightly judgmental gaze.
The white-haired old man in the lead said slowly, "Tang Xian, Huang Shan, I didn't see you guys during the sect's calamity. Why are you back now?"
Ning Chongxiao frowned and secretly sent a voice transmission, "Senior Brother, Elder Di and the others have always been in favor of joining the Flying Celestial Sect. When the Sect Master died in battle, all of them chose to surrender. They've been promoting the benefits of joining the Flying Celestial Sect. They were supposed to be the ones leading the team for the Hundred Sects Meet this time around. Thankfully, Senior Brother, you're back. "
Hearing this, Tang Xian's eyes narrowed, and there seemed to be a flash of killing intent. These few Elders were clearly from the side of surrendering. They might have even been bribed by the Flying Celestial Sect a long time ago.
"What do you guys think?"
Ning Chongxiao said seriously, "Our Repose Palace is inferior to them. In order to preserve our foundation, we can submit to the Flying Celestial Sect." Although Ning Chongxiao and the others hated the Flying Celestial Sect, they were not brainless fools. They only knew that if they were to stubbornly resist now, they would only be exhausting the sect to death. They already had plans for the future development.
"However, even if we submit, we can't completely lean toward the Flying Celestial Sect without any bottom line. The Repose Palace must maintain a certain degree of autonomy to ensure the integrity and independence of the legacy."
"I understand. Seems like Elder Di and the others don't think this way?" Tang Xian said.
"That's right. Elder Di and the others are in favor of leaning toward the Flying Celestial Sect completely.
Hearing that, Tang Xian let out a cold snort but did not say anything. However, his expression toward the few Elders became even more hostile.
