Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence - Chapter 288

Chapter 288: Chapter 141: The One and Only in This World, The Three Gates of Heaven, Earth, and Man_3

Everyone could see that the visible gap couldn’t be filled by a few self-consoling words.

None of the cultivators present held any real respect for the Lingxu Market. However, those who chose to stay were usually representatives of smaller sects and loose cultivators from the lower levels of the cultivation world.

Seeing such a significant gap between themselves and the true disciples of major sects, they felt a bit lost.

At that moment, Shen Yuan, who had been staring at the towering Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, finally made a move.

He first walked down the stairs to return a rented room in the main hall of the Welcome Immortal Inn, and then he took to the deserted streets.

As Shen Yuan strolled around looking at the various stalls and headed towards the end of the street, he posed a stark contrast to the hurrying cultivators.

Once he emerged from the long street, he finally popped into the air and flew towards the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda.

The four Spirit Refining Stage princes and the Sacred Sages had already reached the ninth floor. But as soon as they stepped into the ninth floor, their speed finally slowed down.

The Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda tested more than just martial strength and cultivation base. The Spirit Refining True Beings could overpower the earlier floors with their cultivation prowess, but they would also need some time to break through the more advanced ones.

As for the cultivators of lower cultivation bases, they usually needed to spend more than ten days studying how to break through each trial layer.

Shen Yuan finally arrived at the base of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda.

The towering pagoda that reached the clouds had already closed off the Primal Chaos energy, but humans under that colossal tower seemed no more significant than ants.

Shen Yuan took a step and entered the first floor of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda.

In an instant, the spatial movement changed. Shen Yuan, on the verge of entering the Third Stage of the Pot’s Heaven Divine Power, couldn’t sense the spatial rhythm here. It was like all the spaces fused into a single whole.

The next moment, Shen Yuan appeared before a cold stone platform. In front of him were three giant gates, each labeled with different characters for Heaven, Earth, and Mortals.

The Heaven Gate was pure white, like auspicious clouds, depicting the faces of various gods and Buddhas.

The Earth Gate was a bright yellow, representing mountains, lands, rivers, lakes, and seas.

The Mortals Gate was inky black, illustrating kings, generals, laborers, and soldiers. It captured the faces of all sentient beings.

The Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda had been open for tens of thousands of years, but very little information remained about its interior trials.

The only thing Shen Yuan knew was that inside the Mortals Gate, it recorded the history of the Primal Chaos Realm, which seemed inextricably linked to the nurturing process of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda.

By choosing the Mortals Gate, a random part of history would appear. Completing that part of history would allow for entrance to the next level.

As the cultivation base of the historical characters that appeared at lower levels wouldn’t be too high, the Spirit Refining powerhouses could directly kill everyone and forcefully break through that part of history.

Only at higher layers would the cultivation base of the appearing historical characters gradually increase. Some were even at the Spirit Refining Realm or above, and therefore tasks could only be completed through proper procedures, resulting in a gradual extension of passage time.

This gradual slowdown in speed was precisely the reason for the slow progression of the Princes and Sacred Sage after breaking into the ninth level, since history from the ninth level onwards featured Spirit Refining True Beings. It became impossible to use forceful methods to complete trials.

The Lingxu Market only held information about the Mortals Gate. However, the Earth Gate and the Heaven Gate remained a complete mystery.

Only within the major sects with tens of thousands of years of Taoist traditions might one record information on the Earth Gate and the Heaven Gate.

Shen Yuan stood in front of the three gates and didn’t immediately choose to enter the Mortals Gate.

Although the Mortals Gate held the history of the Primal Chaos Realm, to complete that history, certain degrees of power are required. According to the speculation of the cultivation world, if one wished to reach the top through the Mortals Gate, a cultivation base of the Returning Void Great True Human must be achieved.

Since Shen Yuan’s goal was the highest level, it was clear that he could not reach the top through conventional means and therefore had to forge an alternative path.

With this in mind, Shen Yuan turned his gaze to the Earth Gate on his right and pushed open the bright yellow door depicting mountains and rivers.
