The great figures at the Guiyuan stage from the Seven Major Powers watched as their disciples vanished one by one into the Heavenly and Earthly Gates. The world gradually fell silent. Yet every one of these great figures understood that the real contest had only just begun. As for who would obtain the immense opportunities and unpredictable adventures within the otherworldly space of the Heavenly and Earthly Gates, only time would tell once these people emerged.
At this moment, young prodigies and seasoned elders at the Tiangang and Wanfa stages entered through the portal, traversed the long, dark passage, and emerged into unknown realms. After a long period of disorientation, Ye Wushuang set foot on the ground and immediately brandished the Tianya Sword, cautiously guarding against any threats around him. This was a somewhat dim world, with withered grass stretching across the land and dry fissures marring the earth. As far as the eye could see, it seemed endless. There was no sign of any other presence. Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief and slowly sheathed the Tianya Sword.
He was still uncertain whether this otherworldly space of the Heavenly and Earthly Gates was truly a void saint space formed after the death of a saint-level cultivator. However, it was undeniable that this place was filled with countless treasures and opportunities. In his previous life as the Heavenly Emperor, he would have paid no attention to such a place. But now, starting anew, everything he needed was worth striving for. His immediate priority was to reach the Wanfa stage and to determine whether this time the Heavenly and Earthly Gates still separated the spaces for Tiangang and Wanfa cultivators.
Ye Wushuang began to walk along the withered grassland, heading aimlessly towards the distance. After half a day of walking, he suddenly stopped. Three figures were approaching him, clearly other cultivators who had entered the Heavenly and Earthly Gates, also aimlessly searching for treasures and opportunities. However, upon seeing Ye Wushuang, their faces lit up with delight.
“Ye Wushuang!”
The man in the middle, who appeared to be in his thirties with a square face that looked somewhat honest, wore an expression of excitement as if he were a hunter who had just spotted his prey.
Ye Wushuang looked at the three men with a sense of helplessness. He didn’t recognize them, but he could tell that this time, the Heavenly and Earthly Gates had merged the spaces for Tiangang and Wanfa cultivators without any barriers.
“Such incredible fortune, to run into you as soon as we enter,” the square-faced man said with a laugh, brandishing a long sword. The other two men spread out to his left and right, clearly trying to prevent Ye Wushuang from escaping.
Ye Wushuang said with a hint of exasperation, “Who are you?”
“Hehe, Ye Wushuang, all you need to know is that we are from the Tianji Mansion,” one of them replied.
Tianji Mansion! It all made sense now. During the last Hundred Nations Martial Contest, the Tianji Mansion and Shengdan Sect had ordered their disciples to kill him. Now, his conflicts with the Tianji Mansion and Shengdan Sect had only deepened. There was no doubt that any cultivator from these two factions he encountered within the Heavenly and Earthly Gates would try to kill him if they had the chance.
“Ye Wushuang, we’ve also heard that you’ve defeated Jiang Yihan and Ji Ou from Lingjian Mountain. A cultivator at the second level of Wanfa should be no match for you,” the square-faced man continued.
“But I’m at the third level of Wanfa, and with these two at the second level, we can definitely take you down.”
“Moreover, we three are not those young prodigies. We’ve been through more life-and-death struggles than they have.”
Although the square-faced man was laughing, he was extremely cautious. Ye Wushuang’s reputation had grown significantly. The higher-ups at the Tianji Mansion and Shengdan Sect had ordered the assassination of Ye Wushuang, and they had also instructed that no one below the third level of Wanfa should engage him. After witnessing Ye Wushuang’s strength time and again, both factions had come to understand that only someone several cultivation levels above him could possibly defeat him.
With the Tianya Sword in hand, Ye Wushuang looked at the three men with a cold expression. For others, the journey through the Heavenly and Earthly Gates was merely a quest for opportunities and adventures. But for Ye Wushuang, it was an even greater trial that could elevate him through life-and-death experiences.
“Attack!”
With a low shout, the three men lunged forward. Clearly well-coordinated, their attacks were well-timed. The square-faced man took the lead, his sword swings gathering Wanfa energy and unleashing formidable power. The other two, on his left and right, executed rapid and explosive moves, focusing on speed rather than brute force.
Ye Wushuang’s expression turned even colder.
