Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence - Chapter 296

Chapter 296: Chapter 144: The First One for Ten Thousand Years_3

After various conjectures, it was determined that the cultivator had entered the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains during the Earth Gate Trial. However, his memory had been erased due to his failure in the trial,” Hea Zhen commented.

This caused Shen Yuan’s eyes to light up slightly.

Hea Zhen’s statement confirmed Shen Yuan’s previous suspicions, reaffirming that he had indeed been present in some part of the Primal Chaos Realm. His experiences assimilating the Earth Demon Fetus were indeed real.

After three people had spoken, Yu Ke, in a green Taoist robe, suppressed his internal injuries, wiped away the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and said coldly:

“I don’t know much about the Earth Gate, but there are records of the Heaven Gate within my sect.

There are some secrets involved that cannot be told, but what I can tell you is, even if you are extraordinarily talented, you are destined to fail if you walk through the Heaven Gate.

Common folks are absolutely forbidden from touching anything within the Heaven Gate.”

Everyone present looked stunned, they hadn’t expected such hidden secrets about the Heaven Gate.

Ji Zhaoyang, standing in the center of the platform, knitted his brows and asked:

“Does this mean… the only option is to choose the path of the Earth Gate?”

At this moment, Yu Ke suddenly turned his gaze towards Shen Yuan and said in a cold voice:

“We have all shared crucial information about the trials of the Heaven and Earth Gates, and yet here you are reaping the benefits without contributing. Where in the world does such a good thing exist?”

Upon hearing this, Ji Zhaoyang bristled with anger and yelled:

“Yu Ke, shut up!

We need to solve the Earth Gate trials right now! We have no time for you to stir up trouble!”

Contrarily, Hea Zhen stepped in to defend Yu Ke, saying:

“Yu Ke’s words aren’t nonsensical. Even though this information is basic, it pertains to the Heaven and Earth Gates of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda. Even in the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, it could be considered a secret.

If it’s a secret, it shouldn’t be obtained effortlessly by outsiders.”

Dong Youzi, who had been silently observing all along, didn’t say anything. However, his nod towards Hea Zhen indicated his agreement.

Ji Zhaoyang’s face turned sour. He had never heard of the Falling Clouds Sect, where Shen Yuan came from. He feared it was probably some obscure little sect, incapable of accessing the secrets of the Heaven and Earth Gates.

Given these circumstances, it was nearly impossible for Shen Yuan to reveal a secret of equivalent value.

With Hea Zhen and the others clearly taking a stand, he was certainly hard-pressed.

Just as Ji Zhaoyang was brainstorming ways to resolve the situation, Shen Yuan suddenly spoke up.

“The Earth Gate trials are connected to wide-scale calamities in the Primal Chaos realm, and there are two ways to eliminate their source.

The first method is to suppress it with force, the second is to seek the assistance of the landscape to mitigate the disaster.”

“After completing the Earth Gate trials, one doesn’t immediately ascend to the next level. Instead, depending on the level of difficulty, you can break through several trials at once.”

“Even though the Earth Gate Trial occurs within the Primal Chaos realm, it masks the location’s Tianji, making it impossible for you to identify the place.

From a certain perspective, this is the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda’s way of preventing trial participants from seeking external assistance.”

These words left everyone on the platform stunned.

Although they had withheld some information about the Earth Gate trials, none of them could provide such detailed information.

Yu Ke was the first to recover. He shook his head vehemently, glaring hatefully at Shen Yuan.

“How come you, a country bumpkin from a minor sect, know so much about the Earth Gate trials?

Could it be that you’re just making up stories based on the information we provided?”

Hea Zhen and Dong Youzi frowned at Yu Ke’s words. Despite some possible falsehood, Shen Yuan’s information seemed credible enough.

It was Yu Ke’s accusations that came across as nitpicking.

On hearing Yu Ke’s words, Shen Yuan turned his gaze towards the young Taoist. He took a step forward ominously.

“You want to know on what grounds?”

Yu Ke felt a shudder run down his spine. The power that Shen Yuan had displayed in his fight against the Sun God Dharma Image made him instinctively want to back away, but Shen Yuan was already behind him. There was Primal Chaos Energy converging into a mountain-river landscape, nearly identical to the image associated with the Earth Gate.

Each of Shen Yuan’s steps made the mountains of Primal Chaos Energy seem more substantial, as if they were about to suppress the space within the thirteenth layer. The oppressive force falling onto Yu Ke was endless and terrifying.

The platform collapsed, and the humongous Sun God Dharma Image emerged again. But the image was already flawed, no longer capable of resisting the weight of the mountains. The shattered Dharma Image stirred up the Spirit Energy.

Amidst the chaos, only Shen Yuan’s voice, resonating like a Great Resounding Bell, echoed in the thirteenth layer.

“I am the first individual who has passed the Earth Gate trials in the tens of thousands of years!”
