186: Chapter 184: He Qiang opens the sky gate!

Gu Shengge's seclusion did not last long; after all, it wasn't a complete Dao rule, and being able to comprehend even a part of it was considered fortunate.

Most of the complex runes were unclear to him, and he could only faintly discern the character for 'fate' among them.

After Gu Shengge left the small space he had constructed, he appeared outside. Beiliang City was already in chaos. Jun Mengqing had left a Qi mark and departed with He Qiang.

Gu Shengge stood on the city wall, looking down at the disorder within the city. The Old King of Beiliang was in the capital. When news of his son's death reached him, he seemed to age decades overnight, and three days later, he suddenly fell ill and died.

At the same time, the Dasheng Dynasty quickly dispatched a large army to take over Beiliang City. They were also full of disbelief when they saw the tragic state of Beiliang City.

Beiliang received military stipends every year, and they were always full. During wartime, there was even more support. How could Beiliang City have fallen into such a terrible state?

They quickly reorganized the city. Thanks to most of Beiliang's generals being killed, they smoothly took over Beiliang City and restored order.

Gu Shengge merely glanced at it, then activated his Cultivation and instantly moved away, arriving at the spatial Domain set up by Jun Mengqing.

Jun Mengqing had thrown He Qiang into an independent space, while she herself landed in one of her Magic Treasure. Upon sensing Gu Shengge's aura, she guided Gu Shengge into the Magic Treasure.

"Jun Mengqing, where is He Qiang?"

Gu Shengge did not find He Qiang's figure under the scan of his heavy pupils and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"He is stabilizing his Realm alone. He is at the Realm of a Land Immortal, just one step away from Ascension. We will be able to leave this place very soon."

As Jun Mengqing said this, she pointed a finger, and an image of He Qiang Cultivating in a space appeared before them.

After absorbing Di Shitian's Internal Energy, He Qiang had become even more formidable, even capable of drawing upon the power of heaven and earth.

This was truly terrifying, posing a threat to ordinary Cultivators.

Gu Shengge's eyes held no emotion as he asked in confusion, "How can I make him Ascend quickly?"

Jun Mengqing's gaze was profound: "One way is to Cultivate slowly, which might take a while but is more stable. The other is to sacrifice himself to the Dao, forcefully breaking through the Heavenly Gate with a Mortal body, which might attract Heavenly Tribulation and is somewhat dangerous."

Gu Shengge's eyes flickered: "Then let's take the second Dao! You inform him and teach him."

Jun Mengqing's eyes flickered: "You... are so cold. If it were me, would you abandon me so easily too?"

Gu Shengge said speechlessly, "Can't this Lord save him?"

Jun Mengqing's gaze dodged: "Uh... well, I guess he can, right?"

"Enough, this Lord will definitely not abandon you. Quickly have him come see us. After we explore the Zhongtian Star Domain, we still have to go back! Don't forget the threat of the Corpse Puppet in the Qiongsang Domain!"

When Jun Mengqing heard about the Corpse Puppet, her expression became much more solemn, and she said in a deep voice, "Alright, immediately."

Soon after, He Qiang appeared here. He knelt down straight, heavily kowtowing to the ground.

"Benefactor! My affairs are settled. Now, it's your turn!"

He Qiang was self-aware, knowing his place, and did not resist, awaiting his fate.

"You don't need to worry. This Lord will naturally protect you completely!" Gu Shengge said.

He Qiang took the Magic Treasure given by Jun Mengqing. The jade slip, upon contact with his hand, instantly merged into his head, and all the scriptures integrated into his brain.

He fell into a daze, apparently having begun his comprehension.

Jun Mengqing moved them out of the inner heaven and earth, placing them on the Tianwu Continent outside.

This was a desolate area, with yellow sand filling the sky.

Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing moved away from He Qiang, watching his Internal Energy slowly rise, forming a pillar of light connecting heaven and earth.

"Buzz!"

When the light pillar extended into the sky, it emitted a roar, dispersing the clouds in the sky.

As he comprehended, an energy vortex gradually condensed in the sky, growing larger and larger. Dark clouds were drawn in from all directions, rotating continuously around the vortex, and Lightning energy began to appear, flickering behind the clouds, dazzlingly bright.

"Rumble..."

In the sky, thunder rumbled, awakening He Qiang below. He was now at the Realm of a Land Immortal, but facing the vast might of heaven, he was still somewhat fearful.

"Don't be afraid, continue!" Gu Shengge said.

He Qiang immediately began to comprehend the power of heaven and earth again, merging his own power with it.

Accompanied by muffled thunder growing stronger with each boom, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and endless black clouds completely obscured the firmament.

At this moment, within a radius of a hundred thousand miles, the entire Dasheng Dynasty felt an invisible pressure. Stepping out of their rooms, they saw nothing but black clouds filling the sky, as if the world was about to end.

"Rumble!"

With one violent explosion after another, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in He Qiang's eyes: "I, He Qiang, shall open the Heavenly Gate with this body today!"

His voice was not drowned out by the thunder; instead, it seemed to possess a certain power, echoing for tens of thousands of miles, reaching the ears of every living being.

"Open!"

"Open!"

He urged repeatedly, stepping into the sky. Lightning flashed in the vortex, and the next moment, violent Lightning struck, all hitting him.

Under the tearing of the violent Lightning, He Qiang's body almost disintegrated, but at the moment of collapse, it suddenly healed again.

He Qiang was overjoyed and continued to ascend into the sky.

"Heavenly Gate, open!"

He formed hand seals, casting out incantations, proving the Dao through martial arts.

The Lightning surged, becoming even more violent, and Gu Shengge also had to act, helping him resist the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.

The difficulty of proving the Dao through martial arts was too great. Many unparalleled Prodigies throughout history had fallen at this step, and now He Qiang was no exception.

After blocking dozens of Lightning Tribulations, a golden radiance appeared above the firmament. Amidst auspicious clouds, two towering jade pillars stood above. On the archway above, the golden characters 'Heavenly Gate' were inscribed, carrying a profound pressure, glittering with golden light, dazzling and eye-catching.

Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing both showed joy. The Heavenly Gate had appeared, welcoming Ascenders. They could pass through this gate and enter the Upper Realm!

This Minor Thousand Worlds belonged to a small star world within the Zhongtian Star Domain. After Ascension, it should lead to the Zhongtian Star Domain!

"Rumble..."

Inside the Heavenly Gate, a sudden loud noise erupted, and then a golden city wall slowly rose, replacing the area where the Heavenly Gate was located. On the high city wall, there were Heavenly Soldiers guarding it. They exuded a sharp aura, and their profound Cultivation emanated, revealing them to be Soul Transformation Heavenly Beings!

Gu Shengge looked at Jun Mengqing next to him with a bewildered expression: "Is the Zhongtian Star Domain that powerful? Even the gatekeepers are Soul Transformation Heavenly Beings?"

One must know that in the Qiongsang Domain, a Soul Transformation Heavenly Being could completely serve as the ancestor of a sect.

Jun Mengqing was also very puzzled: "How is that possible! Perhaps this place is special! Let's go and see."
