Chapter 3762: Chapter 1820: Ancient Door (Part 2)
The Chief Elder chuckled, "The Ancient Six Gates are things of ancient legends, rivaling supreme divine weapons, Great Psionic Weapons, and even surpassing them. If the Negative Clan Gate truly retrieves all ancestral artifacts, the demi-saint family may even have a chance to interfere, and Godhood-Sealing and Ancestor would not be mere dream..."
Li You turned his head and gave him a glance.
The Chief Elder’s voice faltered, and he awkwardly rubbed his nose, "I was just joking."
Over at the City of the Living Bodhisattva, the three demi-saints didn’t discuss Dai Xiu much either, just chatted for a bit before switching the topic to the Negative Clan Gate, which had been glorious in ancient times.
"Spacetime, reincarnation, guiding, Daoism, sub-plane, nihility... In my view, the Rong family is sensible; the only ’Gate of Taoism’ and ’Space-Time Gate’ that might still be in their possession may have long been given away," said Array Saint Shangfeng Taoist with a feeble smile, as if he had recalled something.
Tie Dameng was puzzled, "Why sent away?"
Dan Saint Lu Shiyu responded, "A common man without guilt, holding a jade with guilt; you’ve all seen the fate of the Lei family of higher void. What’s more important, the Gate or the Rong family’s bloodline?"
Shangfeng Taoist added, "It’s just as well they no longer have the ancestral artifact Ancient Door in their possession, otherwise destruction wouldn’t be avoidable."
Tie Dameng let out a long "Oh", then suddenly an "Aye", and patted Lu Shiyu on the shoulder, "But don’t we have a gate too?"
Shangfeng Taoist’s expression changed.
Lu Shiyu’s face instantly turned pale, "Shut up, Mengzi!"
Tie Dameng turned and glared, "The Nihility Tower, isn’t it said to have... hmm?"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Shiyu forcibly silenced him with Holy Power.
Shengshen Continent has two Cities of Floating Towers, divided into City of the Living Bodhisattva and City of the Dead Bodhisattva.
City of the Dead Bodhisattva is a gathering place for death apostles and abominators, with the Cross Corner Street at the center producing such extremely evil beings as Ye Xiao and The Divine.
This is not the focus.
The focus is the legend that City of the Dead Bodhisattva houses an ’Inverted Pagoda’, containing secrets of sanctification, semi-saint, and Godhood-Sealing and Ancestor.
City of the Living Bodhisattva likewise.
Opposite to City of the Dead Bodhisattva, City of the Living Bodhisattva brims with vitality, blessed by nature.
This used to be the headquarters of various major vice occupational associations in the five regions, with the renowned tranquil lake, Life Medicine Garden, and Great Spirit Ore Vein... It’s a land of abundant resources and fertility.
Of course, City of the Living Bodhisattva has its own legend.
At the center of this city’s holy land stands a tower, an airborne structure, visible to the naked eye, yet intangible upon touch, known as the ’Nihility Tower’.
Inside, it similarly contains secrets of sanctification, semi-saint, Godhood-Sealing and Ancestor, attracting countless to worship, seeking opportunities.
For centuries, no one has successfully entered the tower, let alone ascended to its peak.
But a few months ago, unbeknownst to outsiders, numerous demi-saints from City of the Living Bodhisattva received an unexpected guest.
He was a handsome scholar, gentle and refined, conducting himself with utmost courtesy, akin to basking in spring breeze.
He came to ascend the tower!
It’s rumored that at the top of the Nihility Tower, one of the Ancient Six Gates, the ’Gate of Nihility’ is hidden, whose specifics remain unknown but is sensed as immensely powerful.
City of the Living Bodhisattva seldom intervenes in worldly affairs and maintains an open attitude towards the Nihility Tower, avoiding becoming the next Lei family.
The Nihility Tower serves as a gimmick, drawing countless people for pilgrimage, boosting City of the Living Bodhisattva’s economy.
Over the years, the demi-saints have also received many Saint’s Envoy from the Holy Divine Palace, even beings from above the Stairway to Heaven.
They certainly wouldn’t refuse the request of the mysterious, powerful, strange handsome scholar.
The outcome, however, remains:
Visible yet untouchable, no one can enter the Nihility Tower, not even Ai Cangsheng!
"That guy, he did go in at last..." Tie Dameng murmured.
As soon as the words came out, it drew the angry glare from the two alongside him.
Yet as the chatter box opened, Lu Shiyu inexplicably wanted to join in the previously taboo topic in City of the Living Bodhisattva.
He discreetly extended his holy realm and used telepathic communication, "Going in doesn’t mean reaching the top."
Shangfeng Taoist nodded along, "Even if ascending to the top, it may not guarantee finding the Gate of Nihility, it’s merely a legend."
Tie Dameng looked left and right, hesitated a bit, then spoke again, "Do you both remember what he looked like?"
The two Saints wracked their minds, unable to recall details, vaguely remembering him as a handsome scholar.
Tie Dameng added, "But the necklace, you probably won’t forget that, right?"
The two Saints’ pupils contracted, locking eyes on him simultaneously.
Tie Dameng opened his mouth and held up three fingers, "He wore three necklaces around his neck, each inscribed with words, one said ’Spacetime’, one said ’Guiding’, and one said ’Daoism’..."
"Oh, just stop already, Mengzi!" Lu Shiyu interrupted him once more.
Shangfeng Taoist anxiously added, "It’s just a necklace, doesn’t mean anything. Just words, could be coincidental. Simply entering the Nihility Tower doesn’t imply gathering... uh."
Tie Dameng’s eyes brightened, "You also think he’s gathering the Ancient Six Gates, right? I think so too!"
Lu Shiyu opened his mouth, unable to restrain Mengzi’s reckless talk; is this really discussable?
He considered turning off the holy realm, invoking the Demi-Saint’s Mysterious Decree, and getting everyone to seal their lips.
Tie Dameng fixated on Shangfeng Taoist, who resonated with him, thoughts racing, speech unstoppable:
"If he succeeds, he’ll have four necklaces, right?"
"The secondary plane door is rumored to be with the Water Ghost or the Eighth Sword Deity; will he go for it? Does he dare?"
"If he dares and succeeds, then it’s ’six with five, just waiting for one’; where is the Reincarnation Gate, can he complete the collection?"
"Once completed, what will happen, will it be like the 21 Famed Swords? What will it be?" Tie Dameng’s eyes brimmed with a thirst for knowledge.
