Chapter 427 3rd Ring Star Gate
"Senior, I have something I wish to ask you. I humbly request that you appear before me." Shen Xu bowed respectfully to the surrounding void.
He wanted to ask the shadowy figure how he could enter the true spirit realm.
But after waiting for a while, he didn't see any changes in his surroundings, which made him feel a little discouraged. What could he do in such a space with nothing around him?
But he doesn't plan to go back so soon, as it's not easy to find a quiet place to be alone.
He stretched out his palm, and an irregular crystal radiating brilliant light appeared in his hand. He remembered that the shadowy figure had said that this crystal had many wonderful uses and that he should explore it carefully.
He released the crystal, and it slowly floated in front of him, a beautiful sight.
With his eyes closed, Shen Xu connected his consciousness to the interior of the crystal and instantly found himself in a virtual space. There was no matter around him, only emptiness.
"Have I moved from one illusory space to another?"
Looking at the surrounding emptiness, Shen Xu's expression couldn't help but become somewhat strange.
He stretched out his palm again, and a colorless crystal appeared in his hand. Then, it rapidly extended and expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, transforming into a huge and mysterious circular portal in the blink of an eye.
This portal, as if born from nothingness, floated silently in that illusory space, radiating a dazzling and mesmerizing light.
The circular portal has a three-tiered structure. The outermost ring is engraved with the positions of the stars in the heavens, the middle ring is filled with a dazzling galaxy, and the innermost ring is a constantly deconstructing and recombining void rune array.
At this moment, only the outermost stars are relatively clear; all other features are hidden in a hazy mist.
Beyond the portal, above the illusory Qinghai Sea, two golden-red suns soared in the sky, their blazing light spilling onto the sea's surface, where the shimmering waves reflected the magnificent silhouette of a five-colored crane.
"Holy crap! What is that?!" Shen Xu was stunned.
At this moment, many cultivators above the Transcendent Realm within the Seven Luminaries Sect suddenly felt a tremor in their hearts and immediately put down their affairs, arriving at the Seven Luminaries Sacred Realm located in the Spirit Domain.
All that could be seen was a triple ring radiating dazzling starlight, suspended in mid-air. The starlight spread throughout the sacred realm, immediately causing a tremendous tremor within it.
The Moon Fairy possessed a cool and aloof demeanor, her eyes gleaming as she gazed at the magnificent portal in the sky.
The outermost layer of silver sand, forming a star chart, was moving in reverse, defying the laws of nature. The trails of each star were leaving cracks in the sky that tore through space and time.
The second layer of galaxy is no longer a reflection; the liquid bands of light seem to be surging with the remnants of a collapsing star.
The moment her gaze fell upon the innermost rune array, she saw tens of thousands of void runes breaking down into light particles, which then transformed into new copper-colored patterns as they reformed. The rhythm of those runes flickering on and off resonated with her heartbeat.
The moment a stretch of Qinghai Lake emerged from behind the gate, her face instantly showed shock.
The surging waves of Qinghai almost broke through the shackles of illusion, and the halo of light cast by the golden and red suns left a burning mark on her pupils.
Just as she was struggling to look away, the reflection of the five-colored crane in the Qinghai Lake suddenly turned its neck, its glass-like gaze piercing straight at her, and five-colored light fell down as the crane's feathers opened and closed.
The crane's tail feathers swept across the Yuanhai Sea, stirring up thousands of waves. The moment the crest of the wave solidified, it transformed into a sky full of rosy light, each one reflecting her deathly pale face.
Just as the radiant light was about to touch her forehead, an old man with white hair and a youthful face appeared in front of her. The starlight instantly obscured the radiant light, and all sounds around her suddenly disappeared.
The triple rings were fixed at a mysterious angle, the Yuan Sea returned to calm, and the twin suns gradually dimmed.
Only the reflection of the five-colored crane still soars in the heavens above Qinghai, its wingtips dripping with multicolored light, gradually staining the blue seawater.
"Elder!" The two were startled.
"How is your mental state?" the old man asked.
"We've been hit a bit. This portal probably doesn't mean us any harm, but it's definitely not something we can access." Fairy Moon's voice was somewhat weak.
"Elder, what exactly is this?" Venerable Sunrise couldn't help but ask.
The old man gazed at the three gates in the sky and said in a deep voice, "I sensed changes in the Holy Realm, so I came back to take a look. I never expected to see a star gate."
The old man sensed the lingering aura emanating from the inner star gate of the holy land, only to find that it was not the aura of any holy land he was familiar with.
Looking at the strange phenomenon behind the star gate, it actually resembles the star gate of the demon race.
"What a turbulent time!" the old man couldn't help but sigh to himself.
"What is a Star Gate?" Fairy Moon frowned slightly.
"It is rumored that some peerless geniuses in the void can obtain the qualification to build a 'Star Gate' after gaining the approval of the Holy Temple, but the resources required are so vast that they cannot be obtained without the support of a Holy Land-level power."
"What exactly is the purpose of the Star Gate?" Venerable Sunrise asked.
"Not only can it traverse thousands of sacred realms in the Spirit Realm, but it can also bring terrifying bonuses to the holder. But most importantly, the Star Gate is related to the Emperor Realm."
If there is a Star Gate in the Holy Land, it can be passed on to successors after the fall of a prodigy.
There is a Star Gate within the Yuancang Sword Sect, but a suitable person has yet to be found to inherit it.
"Emperor Realm!" Venerable Sun Radiance stared at the portal in the sky, his voice filled with longing.
As the Moon Fairy pondered the meaning behind the Sun Venerable's words, the portal in the sky suddenly vanished into the void.
All the strange phenomena vanished without a trace, as if they had never been there at all.
"Has the Grand Elder arrived in Zhongzhou?" Venerable Sunrise asked respectfully.
"Still in Thunder Sea. I thought the Seven Luminaries Sacred Realm had been invaded, so I used a 'Two Realms Travel Talisman'. What's the situation with the Four Directions Sword Alliance?"
"The four-party auction has ended, and the results were very good. A lot of resources needed to build the boundary gate have been raised."
"The Xingchuan Domain only has the Seven Luminaries Sect, which is unable to completely get rid of external threats. Giving more benefits to the Four Sword Alliance now will benefit us in the long run."
Although Li Jianchong grew up in Zhongzhou, he still had feelings for the Xingchuan region.
"Rest assured, Elder, this disciple understands the implications," Venerable Sunrise said, bowing.
"Elder, what if that star gate comes again?" Fairy Moonlight couldn't help but worry, thinking of the star gate's power just now.
"Only the outermost star map of that star gate is relatively clear, so the owner behind it probably isn't too powerful."
Furthermore, he did not come here through a stargate, which means that this is not his destination; he must have just come to the wrong place.
However, I do hope he comes, after all, a peerless genius with a Star Gate is not someone we can usually get close to.
If they can establish a good relationship with them, it would be an invaluable opportunity for the Seven Luminaries Sect.
