Eternal Holy Emperor

Chapter 1113 - 1018: Tongxuan Ancient Sect, Heaven-defying Providence

"Bury an era, open a gate!"

As Di Wushuang’s words fell, they stirred a wave of astonishment across the hall.

What kind of gate is it, to require the sacrifice of an entire era as its price?

Moreover, it was the most prosperous and glorious era in the history of the Ancient Emperor Realm, where gods stood side by side, countless prodigies emerged, innumerable strong individuals existed, possessing the most flourishing destiny, beyond imagination.

Everyone was shocked, except for the contemporary leaders of the three mysterious Holy Lands, who remained unchanged, having long been aware of the insider information.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was deep in thought, immediately associating it with that ancient gate in the Divine Realm.

In the past, the Emperor Supreme Saint had entered, navigating the River of Time, carrying the remains of the Sun Monarch and the Dark Night King, through the gate.

Di Wushuang did not keep them in suspense and continued, "Perhaps all of you already know, in the Era of Gods, the Divine Realm was open, and the rules of the Ancient Emperor Continent did not interfere. Even some Saints had entered the Divine Realm, and surely know that at the end of the Divine Realm, there lies a mysterious Immortal Pass and an ancient stone gate."

This is not considered a secret, as it was recorded even during the Era of Gods. It is rumored that ever since the birth of the Divine Realm, it had existed, very mysterious; no one knows to where the ancient gate leads.

However, it was regarded as forbidden, a region all gods were strictly prohibited from entering, because the Immortal Heavenly Pass was deemed ominous, and had suffered warfare countless ancient times ago, with numerous battle scars, massive embedded stars, and dark red bloodstains.

In that era, it’s rumored that a Supreme Tyrant of Great Power Level had attempted to invade the Immortal Pass and the ancient stone gate but did not succeed. It was deemed a path to extreme danger, sealed personally by the Ancient Great Emperor, thus regarded as forbidden.

But now, all powerful figures present were astonished; through Di Wushuang’s previous words, it seemed the true reason for sacrificing the entire Era of Gods was to open that mysterious forbidden ancient gate at the end of the Divine Realm.

"A plan that sacrificed a glorious era just to open that gate at the end of the Divine Realm; for what purpose?" They could not understand why so much was sacrificed for merely opening a gate.

"To open that gate is to obtain against-the-heavens fortune." Di Wushuang said.

"What kind of fortune?"

"I don’t know, it’s unclear," Di Wushuang said, his tone heavy, "This originates from an ancient stone tablet of the Taichu Era, with an inscription, stating that behind the ancient gate is a land that seizes the fortunes of heaven and earth: capable of transcending past, present, and future; communicating with spirits and immortals, even resurrecting the dead, with limitless possibilities."

"Once the ancient gate is opened and entered, one can achieve eternal immortality, eternal life."

Everyone was shocked, could it be that to sacrifice an era, there were such heaven-defying fortunes within the ancient gate, allowing the dead to resurrect? Who wouldn’t yearn for it?

Unless one attains the status of Emperor, they can never achieve eternal life or eternal immortality.

He too had once been glorious, reached the absolute peak, but when loved ones and friends passed away, leaving him lonely, who would willingly accept solitude, who would wish for loneliness, even if they were invincible, they were still unrivaled and lonely.

Sometimes, even an Ancient Great Power would go mad in the face of such temptation.

Ye Chen’s heart was similarly shaken; he thought of the murals in the Dark Night Ancient Palace; was it for the resurrection of the Twin Kings that the Emperor Supreme Saint took their remains through the gate?

"Thus, the gate also has another name—the Tongxuan Ancient Gate!"

Di Wushuang continued, "However, the Tongxuan Ancient Gate is sealed, sealed by none other than my father using the Yin Yang Dao to perform a Taiji Seal, sealing this gate so it cannot be opened."

Everyone was shocked; a seal laid down by the Ancient Great Emperor, the ultimate seal, who could unravel it, unless they were of the Supreme Emperor status in the Emperor Domain, otherwise, no one could open it.

"In the Era of Gods, some Great Power Level Dominators coveted the ancient gate, seeking transcendence, eternal immortality, wanting to resurrect loved ones, believing there were greater fortunes within, all trying to uncover how to open the Tongxuan Ancient Gate, to break my father’s Emperor Dao Seal."

"Back then, some Supreme Great Powers came to our Emperor Clan, hoping for our intervention to reveal my father’s seal. They believed that since my father had laid down the Emperor Dao Seal, he would have left a way to undo it, and my clan would know how to break the seal. But my clan did not know and was unwilling."

"After all, this is my father’s seal, and since he did so, he must have had his reasons, thus my clan naturally refused."

Everyone nodded in agreement; the Ancient Great Emperor stood at the absolute peak of existence, the greatest, most talented of all, with every action carrying deep meaning.

If even the Ancient Great Emperor did not hesitate to personally place a seal on the Tongxuan Ancient Gate, it naturally had its true purpose.

Perhaps it was not a land of heavenly fortunes beyond, but a place of great evil, with countless crises, housing forbidden horrors, potentially affecting the entire Ancient Emperor Realm, even devastating the Emperor Realm, harming countless lives, hence it was sealed.

"Those Supreme Tyrants of Great Power Level were unwilling to give up on such fortunes that defy heaven and earth, once thought to force our clan by attacking, even several Great Powers personally came, gathered armies attacking our Emperor Clan Ancient Realm, resulting in great casualties for our clan at that time."

"However, eventually, an Ancient Great Power in our clan, who had been in slumber, was awakened, personally wielded my father’s Supreme Emperor Weapon, asserting Supreme Emperor Might, sweeping away all, almost annihilating all assaulting armies, blood-stained the Ancient Realm. Even pursued them beyond, chasing the several contemporary Great Powers into the starry sky, forcing them to pay a heavy price, blood-stained stars, only then were they forced to retreat, never daring to coerce our clan again."

Ye Chen understood; no wonder, upon entering the Emperor Clan Ancient Realm, there were Heroic Passes, traces of past battles, a clan so strong, who dared wage war?

It turned out there was such a secret past.

But it also proved the supreme strength of the Emperor Clan, possessing the Supreme Emperor Weapons of the Ancient Great Emperor, more so housing slumbering Ancient Great Powers, a shocking foundation.

Such Ancient Great Powers reviving Supreme Emperor Weapons, who would dare provoke, as mighty as the Supreme Tyrants of the Era of Gods avoided their edge.

"Later, those Supreme Tyrants began considering other plans, controlling heaven and earth, knowing the tremendous destiny of the Era of Gods, unprecedented, incredibly remarkable, hoping to leverage the vast destiny of the entire era, to impact the ancient gate, breaking the seal."

"The so-called plan to bury an era, open a gate, was this plan."
