However, he quickly restrained himself and smiled: "It seems this battle won’t happen now, so we’ll settle this account later. Yu Jian, Qing Xii, next time we meet, you won’t be so lucky."
"Next time, I will surely cut you down with my sword," Qing Xii responded defiantly.
Seeing this, many faces from other factions showed signs of disappointment.
They realized the anticipated battle would not occur.
But soon, they had no time to concern themselves with this matter.
Because suddenly, the Immortal Palace shook once more, emitting dazzling light, making everyone’s vision turn blank.
Even their Primordial Spirit Sense was blank and couldn’t perceive anything.
Fortunately, since a similar event happened earlier, they weren’t flustered; they just kept their guard up silently, patiently waiting in place.
Soon, the light receded, and when all the strong individuals regained their sight.
They found significant changes ahead.
The vast walls that spanned before them suddenly transformed into multiple giant gates.
Each gate bore a spatial vortex.
Above the vortex, many words floated.
Among them were Physical Body, Elixir, talisman, Array, Sword Dao, Mana, Divine Soul, Law, and so on, a total of eight gates.
Upon seeing such changes, although surprised, the strong individuals weren’t too shocked.
Because they knew from the records left by their ancestors or founding masters about the changes when the Immortal Palace opens.
It is said that when the Immortal Palace opens, eight gates appear, each corresponding to a path of Immortal Dao.
Each gate is filled with numerous trials.
By overcoming those trials, one can receive rewards from the Immortal Palace.
If one can traverse the entire gate, they can truly enter the Immortal Palace and accept the great inheritance within.
Unfortunately, according to records, the Returning Ruins Secret Realm has opened twice, but no one has ever cleared any gate and truly entered the Immortal Palace.
"Just as the records left by the founding master indicated, there are indeed eight gates."
Mo Tushan looked at the revealed eight spatial vortexes, understanding in his heart.
Without hesitation, he directly led the disciples of the Black and White Temple towards the vortex marked by Physical Body.
Seeing Mo Tushan and others vanish within the spatial vortex, Yu Jian and others were somewhat surprised.
They did not expect Mo Tushan and others to choose the gate representing Physical Body.
One must know that although the Black and White Temple’s cultivation method is of the Demon Path, the cultivated Physical Body is quite formidable.
But it also has distinct advantages in other aspects.
Unexpectedly, they ultimately chose the gate representing the Path of the Body.
"Brother Yu Jian, which gate will you choose?" Hei Ming asked.
Yu Jian did not answer but looked at Qing Xii: "Junior Sister Qing Xii, which gate will you choose?"
"Naturally, it’s Sword Dao." Qing Xii smiled slightly, "Most of the disciples we brought from Kongming Sect this time are skilled in Sword Dao, there’s no other choice."
"Then that’s perfect. We can support each other a bit." Yu Jian nodded.
If Kongming Sect had other choices, their Sky-breaking Sword Sect had only Sword Dao to choose from.
At once, the disciples of Sky-breaking Sword Sect and Kongming Sect headed toward the Sword Dao gate.
"As expected, they chose Sword Dao."
Hei Ming showed no surprise, shook his head, and looked at Peach Fairy.
"Fairy, what about you? Which gate does your Pavilion of the Enchanting Immortal plan to take?"
Peach Fairy laughed charmingly: "Our Pavilion of the Enchanting Immortal has some insights in the path of Divine Soul."
"Then it seems we’ll have to temporarily part ways." Hei Ming smiled.
"That’s not necessarily so. Rumor has it that these eight gates aren’t completely isolated; at certain junctures, they will intersect. At that time, Brother Hei Ming, please be merciful and don’t harm me," Peach Fairy teased.
"Of course, we’ve sworn with our Primordial Spirit,"
Hei Ming turned and headed forward, but his choice of gate surprised everyone.
Because he actually headed toward the gate of Law.
"He actually chose the Path of Laws?"
"Is Hei Ming skilled in the Path of Laws?"
"Even for an Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirit, shouldn’t there be few Laws they can comprehend?"
"No wonder he’s the Young Palace Master of the Netherworld Palace!"
The group of strong individuals saw Hei Ming’s choice and immediately began to discuss.
Even Peach Fairy saw this; her eyes flickered slightly.
