Chapter 437 Stepping onto the Great Wall of China
Above the Nine Heavens Continent.
The majestic Imperial Pass Great Wall, which had been standing for so long, had begun to gradually become illusory after the fall of the Azure Nether Quasi-Emperor.
The tangible presence that suppressed eternity is fading, transforming back into countless Dao runes, preparing to dissipate into the world.
Most of the quasi-emperors watching from the sidelines shook their heads and prepared to leave.
"Let's call it a day, let's call it a day."
"This attempt at proving the Dao has come to an end. I never expected that not a single one of the hundreds of Quasi-Emperors would be able to achieve it."
"The Imperial Pass has disappeared, and it will probably be at least several hundred years before it reopens."
"Indeed, this golden age belongs to the young people; we are all old."
......
Just when everyone thought everything had settled down.
An aura even more domineering than the combined power of the previous hundred-plus quasi-emperors suddenly erupted from the far end of the star field!
boom---!!!
The aura was so strong that it turned the entire starry sky gold!
"roar!!"
Accompanied by a roar from a Qilin that shook the universe.
The Great Wall of Diguan, which was originally dissipating, seemed to have been stimulated by some strong force and instantly stopped its decline!
Click click click—!
Countless runes re-condensed, and the once illusory city wall became incredibly solid again, even stronger than before!
"What?!"
"The Imperial Pass... has solidified again?!"
"What kind of aura is this?! Such terrifying bloodline power!!"
"That's... the aura of an ancient Qilin?!"
Before anyone could react, the others realized what was happening.
A golden meteor, carrying a world-destroying force, blasted open the bronze gate that had just closed without any pause!
That's Mo Linyu!
His body was engulfed in golden divine fire, making him resemble a war god, and he charged directly into the Imperial Pass!
"Who is this guy? Didn't he see that the Azure Nether Quasi-Emperor just failed to attain enlightenment? How dare he go up there?"
"You don't even recognize this person? This is the son of the ancient Qilin Emperor!"
"My God! The legendary second-generation emperor has been born?!"
"Hasn't he always been self-proclaimed?"
The crowd erupted in cheers.
But this is not the end.
The very next second that Mo Linyu rushed in.
A seemingly inconspicuous black figure, devoid of any radiance, followed closely behind like a ghost and drifted into the Imperial Pass.
That figure was too fast, too eerie.
So much so that many people didn't even see how he appeared.
Only a few sharp-eyed quasi-emperors caught a glimpse of a fluctuation that made their hearts tremble at that moment.
"Who is that?!"
"How dare they follow Qilinzi inside?!"
"Are you looking for death?"
"No...that's not right!"
An old quasi-emperor who had lived for a very long time had a drastic change in expression, staring intently at the slowly closing door.
"That man in black..."
"His aura... though restrained, gave me a sense of fear, like facing an abyss."
"The other party is definitely one of the best among quasi-emperors, but I wonder which former prodigy they are."
"In this life..."
"I'm afraid something really bad is about to happen!"
"Two unparalleled geniuses are attempting to pass the level simultaneously..."
"It seems this section of the Great Wall at the Imperial Pass is about to be breached!"
……
Light and shadow shift, stars and constellations change.
As Lin Hanzhou's figure passed through the heavy bronze gate, the noise from the outside world vanished instantly.
Instead, there was a deathly silence and an ancient, suffocating sense of desolation.
This is the inner world of the Imperial Pass Great Wall.
It is neither a narrow passageway nor a dark maze as people imagine.
What appeared before Lin Hanzhou was a vast void that seemed to exist independently of the universe.
Beneath their feet lay black stone slabs covered with fragments of stars, above them was a sky filled with chaotic energy, and all around stood towering bronze pillars, each engraved with the insights and traces of the Dao left by emperors of past dynasties.
Directly in front of him, at the end of this void, five incredibly wide ancient Great Wall passages stretched out.
These five passages are like the spines of five giant dragons, winding their way into the unknown depths of darkness.
"The five elements exist separately, yet their paths converge..."
Lin Hanzhou stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the five passageways.
He already knew the rules regarding the Imperial Pass Great Wall from that red jade stele.
The Great Wall at Diguan Pass is divided into five sections.
These five roads are also known as the "Five Dead Ends".
Every road has layers of obstacles and guardians.
Those who enter will not only face the trials of the checkpoints, but also the fierce battles with their fellow cultivators.
Because the rules are cruel: at the end of each path, there is only one teleportation slot.
In other words, no matter how many people flock to the same path, only one person will ultimately survive to reach the end and step onto the final stage to compete for the Heavenly Heart Mark!
This is why the vast majority of the hundred-plus quasi-emperors who went in died inside.
They didn't die at the checkpoint, but in the infighting for that one and only spot.
"interesting."
Lin Hanzhou's gaze shifted slightly as he looked towards the leftmost passage.
The passage was now radiating intense golden light, and the faint echo of the Qilin's roar could be heard.
Clearly, the Qilin named Mo Linyu chose this path.
Given that guy's personality and strength, he's probably already wreaking havoc on that road, sweeping away all obstacles in his path.
"Since you've gone to the left, I won't join in the fun."
Lin Hanzhou shook his head and turned his gaze to the middle passage.
This passage looked the most ordinary, even somewhat dilapidated, covered with dark red moss, exuding a chilling, deathly aura.
"Let's take this one."
Without any hesitation, Lin Hanzhou transformed into a wisp of wind and stepped directly onto the dilapidated Great Wall passage.
The moment I stepped into the passage, the surrounding scenery changed abruptly.
The once vast emptiness vanished, replaced by towering city walls on both sides, firmly locking the view ahead.
A heavy sense of oppression washed over him, as if the weight of the entire Great Wall was pressing down on his shoulders.
If a cultivator at the Saint Realm were here, they would probably have their bones crushed and kneel on the ground instantly by this pressure.
But for Lin Hanzhou, it was nothing more than a gentle breeze.
He strolled forward leisurely, even taking the time to observe the ancient sword marks on the wall.
Not long after.
A majestic pass appeared ahead.
Before the pass, a tall guard clad in dark gold heavy armor and wielding a halberd stood silently.
He was not a living person, but a puppet formed from the laws of the Imperial Pass. His eyes held only cold killing intent, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
First guard.
Lin Hanzhou briefly sensed the other party's aura.
"Quasi-Emperor Level One".
He raised an eyebrow slightly, looking somewhat bored.
"No wonder those quasi-emperors who hadn't even reached their peak dared to come in and try their luck."
"The first half of the journey wasn't too difficult, and you could quit at any time."
"Unfortunately..."
Lin Hanzhou shook his head, and without pausing, walked straight toward the guard.
