The Gate of Life and Death has its peculiarities.
Upon entering, one will be randomly teleported to a location inside the palace tomb.
Therefore, even if people enter together, they will not end up together.
It was all carried out precisely as the Three Sages Emperor had said.
Once inside the Emperor's tomb, everything depends on oneself.
Ning Tian slowly approached the stone door, which bore no hint of life or death, took a deep breath, and stepped inside.
"Master."
Seeing Ning Tian slowly walk into the stone door, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi's beautiful eyes were filled with worry.
Behind her, the women of Yaochi tightly clenched their small hands, all showing an anxious look.
Seeing this, the Three Sages Emperor felt somewhat surprised in his heart.
In his time, he was known as the most handsome man of the Spirit Realm of the last century, loved by countless women.
Despite this, when he got to the gathering of women at Yaochi, he only managed to win the heart of the Holy Maiden Yao Xuan.
After all, the Purification Spell of the Holy Land of Yaochi wasn't simply for show.
But now.
Looking at this scene, that young man didn't just win over the heart of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, but he didn't let go of the other maidens either.
"Good lad, a resolute man."
The Three Sages Emperor sighed secretly to himself.
"Three Sages senior, will our master make it out of the trial?" The Holy Maiden of Yaochi asked the Three Sages Emperor, the worry practically written on her face.
"That depends on his destiny," said the Three Sages Emperor lightly.
Once inside the Gate of Life and Death, representing the start of the trial, he couldn't intervene; everything depended on personal strength.
"However."
At this moment, the Three Sages Emperor seemed to think of something, frowning and looking towards the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.
"Why do you all call him Master? I see he is young and his strength is only at the level of an Earth King; he shouldn't have the qualifications to be called Master, right?"
"Well…"
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi seriously said, "Because he is the husband of the Female Emperor of the Heavenly Demon Sect."
"The Heavenly Demon Sect?"
"So this boy is from the Heavenly Demon Sect."
The Three Sages Emperor nodded understandingly.
"Wait a second."
Suddenly, he froze, and quickly looked towards the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, "Little miss, what did you just say? Female Emperor? Doesn't that mean a powerful Emperor? Is that young man the husband of an Emperor-level mighty figure?!"
"Yes."
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi seriously nodded her little head.
"…"
In an instant, the Three Sages Emperor petrified, standing still as if he had turned to stone.
In his lifetime as an Emperor, he only managed to marry Yao Xuan, who was also an Emperor. He hadn't expected that this lad, merely at the Earth King level, already had an Emperor for a wife!
This…
This must be a unique case throughout the endless ages!
"Lad, you better not die in there, I am still counting on this small tomb to lay my remnants to rest."
The Three Sages Emperor prayed in his heart.
After all, once inside, it could not be interrupted, which was also a rule he had set back then.
If Ning Tian were to die inside the tomb, it was likely that his Empress wife would turn his tomb upside down.
When Ning Tian stepped through the Gate of Dreams, he felt a fluctuation in his body, followed by a blinding white light before his eyes.
The next moment, he appeared in a dark space.
Surrounded by absolute darkness, he could not see his hand before his face as if there was no light at all.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, with a whooshing sound.
Then, a green ghostly fire began to appear around him, looking extremely eerie.
Whoo!
Whoo-whoo!
Bursts of chilly wind kept attacking Ning Tian.
"What is this place?"
Ning Tian furrowed his brows, his eyes filled with solemnity; he quietly circulated his spiritual energy, ready to walk into the darkness to investigate.
But just as he was about to act, the green ghostly fire unexpectedly rushed towards him without warning.
Swoosh!
Swoosh Swoosh!
The ghostly fires were strange, and before Ning Tian could strike them down with his palm, they passed through his body.
"Is this…an illusion?"
Ning Tian paused, frowning.
At this moment, the ghostly fires that seemed like apparitions began to circle him faster and faster.
It became so dark that even the surrounding scene started to change.
Seconds later, the original darkness began to transform!
The next second, Ning Tian found himself leaving the darkness and entering a forest.
"Hm?"
Witnessing this bizarre scene, Ning Tian's brow tightened.
Something felt off.
It was much too strange.
Looking around, Ning Tian suddenly realized that he was in the forest of Yin Feng Mountain Range!
Could it be that he was teleported out?
Whoosh.
Whoosh-whoosh.
The chilly wind stirred the surrounding leaves and brushed against Ning Tian, whose strong sense of reality made him doubt deeply.
Was he in a dreamscape?
Or had he really been teleported out?
"No matter, let's just move forward and then come to a conclusion."
Ning Tian muttered to himself.
Immediately, he took a step and walked into the forest.
All along his way, chilly winds blew constantly, causing the leaves to rustle.
He even saw a few demon beasts.
To verify whether this was a dreamscape or not, Ning Tian even went so far as to kill a few demon beasts.
The sense of impact felt completely real.
It didn't seem like a dreamscape at all.
Suddenly, a light ahead in the forest and the sound of shouting could be heard.
"Hm?"
He frowned slightly and decided to go over to have a look.
With the agility of the You Long Step, Ning Tian turned into a shadow and disappeared into the woods.
Before long, he saw a city illuminated by firelight.
"This place is…"
Seeing the three characters written on the city gate, Ning Tian's heart shook fiercely!
It was Tian Feng City!
The city in front was actually Tian Feng City!
How did he end up here?
"Ah!"
Just then, a scream sounded, breaking the silence of the dark night sky.
"Worthless trash of the Heavenly Demon Sect, go die!"
A voice that was almost cold echoed.
Ning Tian sharply looked over, only to see a bloodied figure thrown down from the city wall.
Upon closer inspection, he saw that the bloodied figure was wearing the clothes of the Heavenly Demon Sect!
"A disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect?"
Ning Tian's heart shook, what on earth was going on?
He was utterly confused.
But before he could contemplate further, continuous screams erupted from within the city.
Immediately, he no longer hesitated and shot towards the city wall.
Whatever the situation, he would find out after investigating!
With the You Long Step flashing, Ning Tian leaped up onto the city wall and looked into the city, his eyes flashing with shock.
Demon beasts and people were fighting amidst the firelight.
Blood spattered continuously as screams rose from inside the city.
"Ah!"
"Ah-Ah!"
"Kill! Kill all those bastards from the Beast Taming Sect!"
"Ga ga!"
"Trash of the Heavenly Demon Sect, go die!"
The voices seemed to be ringing in Ning Tian's ears, and without meaning to, a hint of red flickered in his eyes.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Is this an illusion created by the Gate of Dreams?"
Ning Tian furrowed his brow.
If this were an illusion, it was far too realistic!
