Chapter 1521 - 1512: Entering the Cloud Sky Palace

Chapter 1521: Chapter 1512: Entering the Cloud Sky Palace

These nine people are the mighty ones from the Dao Saint Temple!

They are led by a powerful figure whose depth Qin Wudao cannot discern, along with eight young prodigies, blending into the universe and emitting a power distinct from countless other beings.

"What peculiar power!"

Qin Wudao scrutinized the group from the Dao Saint Temple, secretly astounded.

"That’s the power of the Great Dao!"

Little Seven explained, "The members of the Dao Saint Temple are all manifestations of the Great Daos from the vast cosmos. The leader is the Master of Reincarnation, and the eight behind her are newly born cosmic Great Daos!"

Qin Wudao nodded.

Speaking of the Great Dao, he thought of Luo Hou and Hongjun. Both had once transformed into heavenly and Daoic forms, standing atop the world, reaching a new height.

In terms of talent, the Great Daos are far superior to ordinary beings!

Take Luo Hou for instance, reincarnating as the Heavenly Dao of the primordial continent, forming a faction, gathering the continent’s prodigies, forging an ultimate physique, and nearly annihilating the Qin Dynasty.

To this day, the Qin Dynasty hasn’t found Luo Hou, who remains at large.

Then there’s Hongjun, originally an ordinary being across myriad realms. After transforming into the Great Dao, he became a Dao Ancestor of one world, his cultivation far exceeding other beings across realms.

Sadly, Hongjun was not favored by fortune and was slain by the Qin Dynasty.

Now, even the grass on his grave is several feet high.

In the following time, more high-level cosmic forces arrived, each escorted by several martial artists of the Three Knowledge Realm. They expended tremendous effort to reach here.

Many mighty ones found themselves exhausted, collapsed outside the Cloud Sky Palace.

They were the lucky ones.

At least they made it here.

Some forces, however, perished from exhaustion while crossing the ancient cosmic path.

Indeed, each time the Cloud Sky Palace opens, many lose their souls while crossing the ancient cosmic path. Yet this does not deter high-level cosmic forces; rather, it fuels their intense interest.

Opportunities!

A chance to ascend to the peak of the Great Dao!

Who would want to give that up?

As for the danger, as long as one exists in the world of martial arts, danger cannot be avoided.

After all, who knows whether danger or accident will arrive first.

What is the martial path?

In complex terms, it’s the pursuit of strength, the honing of oneself, the exploration of the cosmic Great Dao, the transformation from weak to strong, ultimately mastering power.

In simpler terms, it’s a gamble with the god of death!

I signed a pact with the god of death, betting on undefeated martial arts.

Every martial artist knows that to become strong, they must walk the razor’s edge, half relying on themselves, and half on fate.

They waited for about a night.

The leaders of the six major forces simultaneously flew to the front of the Southern Heaven Gate.

The Sect Master of the Azure Cloud Sect!

The Grand Elder!

The Great Hall Master!

Lin Emperor, the spokesperson of the Six Races of Eternal Blood!

The Master of Reincarnation!

The Dark God Master!

The most powerful individuals from the infinite universe gathered here, setting aside their conflicts, standing on a special formation, fingers pinched together, unleashing terrifying powers to open a spatial rift in the barrier of the Southern Heaven Gate.

Qin Wudao watched in astonishment.

Does it really take six mighty figures, each at least in the late Causal Realm, working in unison just to open a gap in the Cloud Sky Palace?

And this is even when the Cloud Sky Palace’s barrier is at its weakest.

Had he not seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to believe.

"The vast universe is indeed mysterious!"

Qin Wudao sighed.

"No matter how far the road, keep going, you’ll reach it! No matter how tall the mountain, dare to climb, you will summit! The universe may be mysterious, but one day, its veil will be lifted!" Little Seven remarked.

Qin Wudao paused, then said, "Little Seven, sometimes I think you’re a philosopher!"

"A philosopher???"

Little Seven’s small head was filled with big confusion.

"They’re very wise people who always say things that make others ponder!" Qin Wudao explained.

"Of course!"

Little Seven lifted her head, clasping her hands arrogantly behind her, "I am your senior sister after all, surely smarter than you. I want to be a philosopher someday!"

Qin Wudao chuckled, his eyes fixed on the Cloud Sky Palace.

Bang!

A moment later.

A dull sound echoed.

The barrier outside the Southern Heaven Gate was opened, revealing a spatial vortex, emitting fluorescent light, exuding a mysterious pressure, enveloping everyone present.

Qin Wudao’s expression changed slightly, forced back a few steps by the pressure.

He then glanced around.

Many weaker prodigies were crushed in the void, continually prostrating themselves.

Little Seven, not as strong as Qin Wudao, trembled within the pressure, her knees bent, almost kneeling on the ground.

Qin Wudao hurried forward, shielding Little Seven in front of him, releasing a majestic imperial pressure to resist it.

Little Seven quickly straightened up, looking at Qin Wudao’s back with a carefree grin.

The pressure came quickly and dissipated just as fast.

Soon, it vanished.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the passage to the Cloud Sky Palace is open. Apart from the disciples of the six major forces, other forces must pay a tribute of one hundred thousand veins of origin mines to enter the Cloud Sky Palace!"

At this moment, the Master of Reincarnation from the Dao Saint Temple turned around, her red lips slightly parted, speaking softly.

She wore a white dress, with three thousand strands of green silk draping to her waist, emanating a terrifying aura, distorting the surrounding space-time, causing everything in the world to undergo reincarnation.

One hundred thousand veins of origin mines!

Qin Wudao was taken aback.

He scanned the surroundings, seeing at least several hundred forces. If each paid a hundred thousand veins of mines, it would not be a small amount.

Even the Qin Dynasty couldn’t produce that sum at once.

"Master of Reincarnation, this is too expensive! Could it be cheaper?"

A strong figure from one force spoke with difficulty.

"Enter if you will, leave if you won’t!"

Before the Master of Reincarnation could reply, Lin Emperor from the Six Races of Eternal Blood impatiently said, "You wish to enter the Cloud Sky Palace but won’t contribute, how could there be such good things in this world?"

"This..."

The force’s strong figure awkwardly smiled and stepped back.

He dared not offend the Six Races of Eternal Blood.

Among the six top forces of the infinite universe, the Six Races of Eternal Blood are the most untouchable, being a proud and domineering power. Once in conflict, even a verbal spat could lead to a bloody battle.

Mighty bloodline.

Comparable to invincible power.

This allows them to always approach the forces of the infinite universe from a superior stance.

"The prodigies of the six major forces can enter now!"

The Sect Master of Azure Cloud Sect said.

Upon these words.

The eight prodigies from the Dao Saint Temple were the first to enter, followed by the Six Races of Eternal Blood, Immortal Treasure Pavilion, Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall, Azure Cloud Sect, and lastly the Dark Saint Temple.

"Qin Wudao, we’ve met again!"

In the Dark Saint Temple’s camp, a black-robed figure, cloaked in a blood-colored cape, murmured to himself.

He wore a skull mask, concealing his visage.

Only his eyes were visible, surrounded by demonic Qi.

...

After Qin Wudao and Little Seven entered the Southern Heaven Gate, they arrived at a grand corridor stretching ten thousand feet, the ground paved with jade stones, flanked by four magnificent statues brimming with divine might.

Qin Wudao examined the statues, each unique.

The first statue wielded a Cyan Peak Treasure Sword, its face crab-like, its beard like copper wire.

The second statue held a battle spear, a jade pipa on its back, bearing four strings symbolizing earth, water, fire, and wind.

The third statue brandished a whip with both hands, a pouch at its waist containing something resembling a white rat, known as the ’Purple Gold Flower Fox Mink’.

The fourth statue wielded a Primordial Pearl Umbrella, adorned with emeralds, matriarchal seals, matriarchal jades, Luminous Pearls, Nine-Curved Pearls, Beautifying Pearls...
