Chapter 178 - 178: Opening the Gate of Heaven with a Single sword (0)
“Brother, I have a bit of information about the stone door for you.” At this moment, Xia Wuji, who had been beaten to the brink of death, returned, hobbling along. His breath was weak, but his spirit was intact. He held a miniature stone door and handed it to Li Qingshan.
Having been on the verge of death just moments ago, Xia Wuji now managed to walk with a limp. His body seemed to be evolving towards the direction of an undying warrior.
Li Qingshan extended his hand to take the stone door, then looked at the inscription on it.
“Gate of Immortality, above the heads of all living beings!”
This prompt plunged Li Qingshan into contemplation.
He raised his head, gazing into the boundless void. The skies were blue, adorned with white clouds, and there was nothing else.
He had recently flown into the high skies to inspect carefully, yet he found nothing.
“Why does it say that?” Li Qingshan asked, aware that the stone door possessed considerable knowledge, serving as the guardian of the inheritance left by the Kunlun Immortal.
Everyone was staring at the stone door. They were no strangers to this place. Ever since the battle at the center of the battlefield, Xia Wuji had told everyone frankly that he had obtained the inheritance of the Kunlun Immortal.
Thus, everyone was familiar with the stone door.
“Because the Gate of Immortality is not inferior to all living beings!” the stone door declared.
“It seems I’ve heard somewhere that the Gate of Immortality, being lofty and magnificent, is a path for all living beings to ascend. Thus, the stone door’s words make sense. The Gate of Immortality will undoubtedly not be inferior to all living beings, ” the Heavenly Emperor affirmed.
Sitting on a chair nearby, Xia Wuji, after just a short time, blushed and said,
“So, this means the Gate of Immortality must be above us.”
“But when I just ascended into the sky and carefully investigated, I found nothing!” Li Qingshan frowned and said.
He couldn’t help but suspect that he had been careless and missed something.
The stone door continued to reveal its inscriptions.
“Gate of Immortality, also known as the Heaven Gate. I once heard a saying from an Immortal from Kunlun.
“My heart is in the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, and my body is in the boundless mortal world!”
“Kunlun Immortal said, this is the Gate of Immortality!”
Everyone contemplated these three lines of text.
Especially Li Qingshan, who repeated, “My heart is in the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, and my body is in the mortal world!”
After repeating it a dozen times, an idea popped into his mind.
“I think my heart wants to go to the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace!” Li Qingshan suddenly said.
Everyone looked at Li Qingshan with confusion. How could one’s heart go anywhere?
Li Qingshan remained silent. He closed his eyes, and the primordial spirit in his Sea of Soul Consciousness suddenly bounced out of his Niwan Palace.
Then, he soared into the sky!
Everyone looked at Li Qingshan’s physical body, finally understanding what he meant.
His Divine Soul was his heart.
His Divine Soul soared into the sky, reaching the highest heavens. The biting cold wind, accompanied by frost, was intense enough to overwhelm ordinary Human Immortals. Exposure to such harsh conditions would result in damage to their Divine Soul, causing a fall in the cultivation plane. Recovery would be impossible for a lifetime.
The Divine Soul is inherently fragile, unlike the physical body.
Yet, Li Qingshan persevered. His primordial spirit ascended to the utmost heights, enduring the biting winds and icy snow, gazing into the distance with widened eyes.
At this very moment, the sun rose, heralding the beginning of a new day.
Boom!
In Li Qingshan’s perception, the newly risen sun cast its radiant light into the Human World, dispelling the darkness and awakening all living beings.
This was an extraordinarily splendid and awe-inspiring scene.
At this moment, Li Qingshan achieved what the Kunlun Immortal had spoken of.
His heart resided in the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, while his physical form existed in the vast mortal world.
He also beheld the Gate of Immortality!
High in the sky, within the sun.
The elusive Gate of Immortality, sought tirelessly by the world, was bound by ten massive chains, locked within the sun.
Li Qingshan smiled. His primordial spirit, facing the grand and imposing Gate of Immortality, issued a resounding command from the distant heavens.
“Sword!”
This powerful cry reverberated throughout the cosmos.
In the Dimensional Battlefield, everyone heard it. All eyes were drawn upward in astonishment, yet they couldn’t discern the source.
However, only one person could shake the entire Dimensional Battlefield, the God of the Human World, Li Qingshan.
The father and son, who had just spent 20 million immortal crystals to enter
the Immortal World to quietly eliminate the Human Immortal, now looked at
each other upon hearing this cry.
Gazing upwards, they were left in awe.
“Father, is that the primordial spirit?” The young man’s mouth gaped open, finding it incomprehensible.
The middle-aged man sucked in a breath, expressing his astonishment. “The primordial spirit has left the body and remains high in the sky, enduring the onslaught of gales, ice, and snow, yet it remains unaffected. How formidable is this person’s primordial spirit?”
“Father, could this be the Human Immortal we are seeking?” The young man asked softly.
“It seems so.” The father nodded in amazement.
“Father, our cultivation is suppressed to the Human Immortal stage. Can we defeat this formidable individual?” The young man suddenly inquired. For reasons unknown, he lacked confidence in himself at this moment.
The middle-aged man hesitated, initially intending to mention that although they were Human Immortals, their cultivation had been suppressed to the peak. Why were they so fearful?
“Let’s observe first. Why did he let his primordial spirit leave his body?” he whispered.
The father and son immediately fixated their gaze without blinking.
Li Qingshan’s resounding cry shook the world. Simultaneously, in the boundless mortal world, his physical body trembled, and a colossal sword flew out from his Dantian.
This gigantic sword was a gift from Qingqing. Usually aloof and indifferent, she disregarded Li Qingshan.
Yet, at this critical moment, it materialized.
Clang!
Then, the giant sword suddenly expanded, swiftly thrusting into the firmament. The terrifying sword qi it carried shredded through space and air, leaving behind a trail of black chaos.
And it continued to grow!
By the time it reached halfway, it had already reached a length of three thousand meters, persistently piercing into the sky.
Rumble!
At this moment, the giant sword displayed unparalleled momentum. As Li Qingshan gazed upon it, it seemed as if he could see the girl wielding the enormous sword smiling at him.
Li Qingshan’s eyes gradually turned icy as he extended his hand.
The onlookers, comprising top experts, were astonished. They recognized Li Qingshan’s primordial spirit, each of them shaken to their core. Then, a realization struck them.
“This is the creation of a new path!”
“Li Qingshan is true to his word. He genuinely intends to forge a new path for
humanity.”
“The God of the Human World deserves this praise!”
The top experts wept bitterly. They understood too well the agony of a severed future. Despite being in the prime of their lives, they were trapped in the Human World, unable to witness the splendors of the immortal realm. For them, this was an unbearable cruelty.
Now, with the arrival of the God of the Human World to fulfill his promise, how could they not be stirred with excitement?
Every gaze was filled with boundless hope as they focused on Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan reached out and firmly grasped the oncoming giant sword.
Standing high above the Nine Heavens, Li Qingshan, who was only as tall as an ordinary person, swung his sword towards the sun in the presence of the world!
This single sword eclipsed all the brilliance of the Human World.
This sword directly penetrated the sun.
The only sounds heard were cracks and snaps.
Subsequently, everyone witnessed a gate soaring out of the sun.
Rumble!
The emergence of this gateway triggered jubilation in the Great World Path, exuberance in the Human World Spiritual Qi, and tears of awe from the populace.
The Gate of Immortality!
After tens of thousands of years, it had returned to the Human World!
The entire Human World erupted into fervor.
“Father, I find this Human World very turbid. I don’t want to stay any longer,” the young man suddenly remarked.
“Good son, you’re right. Let’s return now,” the middle-aged man promptly responded.
They had come and departed silently.
“Father, what if Grandfather inquires?”
“Are you daft? Just casually kill a Human Immortal in the Immortal World, bring the corpse, and present it to your grandfather,” the middle-aged man retorted..
