“Gate of Destinies? What kind of joke is this? This thing is but a legend,” Tang Xian said furiously.

The Gate of Destinies was a legend in this world. Based on an ancient legend, after the first batch of cultivators in this world reached tier nine of the Divine level, they gathered endless resources to create a Gate of Destinies in order to reach an even higher realm and break away from the world’s shackles.

As long as one passed through the Great Dao’s Testimony, they would be able to transform from humans into gods. They would be able to break away from the world’s shackles, reach the opposite shores, and achieve great Dao.

Therefore, the first reaction that Tang Xian had upon hearing this was that it was not reliable at all.

However, one of the ladies dressed in palace clothes said, “That might not be true. Rumor has it that Old Ancestor Zhai Xing has obtained the legacies from the ancient heavenly court and found the way to create the Gate of Destinies. Both the Longevity Palace and the Ascendant Heavenly Sect have ascertained this, so our Hundred Rivers Sect is planning to join in and be a part of this great work as well.”

As Gong Yuan—this female disciple from the Hundred Rivers Sect—said this, she carefully threw a glance at Tang Xian and Huang Shan. After some thought, she decided to remind them, “Seniors, Old Ancestor Zhai Xing has comprehended the destinies and attained remarkable cultivation. We offer our condolences and hope that you can be careful with your actions.”

She had wanted to advise them not to have any intentions of seeking revenge or else they would also be killed. However, when the words got up to her mouth, she still felt that it would be overstepping her boundaries as they did not have a close relationship. Instead, she changed to advising them to act carefully instead.

Huang Shan let out a snort and wanted to say out the truth. How could the Venerable Master Zhai Xing possibly be so strong to have defeated the other two tier nine Divine level experts? All three of them had been defeated by Fang Xingjian, with the Venerable Master Zhai Xing escaping back by himself. He then bullied the Heavenly Emperor and Immortal Yuqing whose main bodies had been defeated.

Right now, the Heavenly Emperor and Immortal Yuqing probably only had a hint of their clones left behind in the Ascendant Heavenly Sect and Longevity Palace respectively. This was why they could only bend before the Venerable Master Zhai Xing’s martial prowess.

However, Huang Shan was just about to say this when he was stopped by Fang Xingjian. Fang Xingjian was naturally unwilling to divulge his tracks so easily.

Tang Xian was the one who pulled himself together and said, “Miss, thank you for your reminder. We’ll be returning to our sect first. Goodbye.”

After saying this, the four of them left.

Gong Yuyan’s junior martial sister, who was standing next to her, sighed and said, “Senior Martial Sister, do you think that they’ll take to heart and seek revenge?”

Looking at the men who had left, Gong Yuyan shook her head and sighed, saying, “I only hope that they can be more rational. Even the Heavenly Emperor and Immortal Yuqing have been defeated. Right now, there’s probably no one in the higher realm who can be a match for Venerable Master Zhai Xing.”

Tang Xian and the other three quickly made their way to the Repose Palace. A huge city situated in a basin appeared before them. Each road and building was of a rectangular shape. It was clear that they had all been partitioned under strict regulations.

However, right now, there was no hint of liveliness in the Repose City at all. Everyone stayed indoors, and the streets were filled with white mourning clothes. The entire place gave off a sorrowful and dismal feeling.

Tang Xian frowned and immediately descended toward the center of the city. Before he landed, several martial arts cultivators headed toward him.

When the young man in the lead saw Tang Xian’s appearance, he immediately wore an agitated expression.

“Senior Martial Brother Tang, you’re finally back! Senior Martial Brother Huang, you’re back as well!”

Tang Xian looked at the young man in the lead, sighed, and asked, “Junior Martial Brother Ning, what happened here?”

Ning Chongxiao said sadly, “Senior Martial Brother, the Flying Celestial Sect wants us to hand over all of our sects’ manuals, open up the treasury, and share our resources. They say that after the Gate of Destinies is successfully created, they will allow us to enter the gate and reach the opposite shores.

“How could Master and the others possibly agree to this? They immediately rejected their request.

“That old b*stard Zhai Xing came personally and crushed Master’s and the others’ martial wills completely, not even leaving a hint of their clones behind!”

Hearing Ning Chongxiao’s words, Tang Xian’s countenance turned extremely grim. “He’s gone too far.”

Another junior martial brother persuaded, “Senior Martial Brother Tang, please be careful with your words. The Flying Celestial Sect wields great influence now, and Master and the others have all passed away. We have no choice but to bend and submit to them. Otherwise, the Repose Palace’s thousand-year legacy will be destroyed in our hands. ”

Ning Chongxiao said bitterly, “Senior Martial Brother Tang, Junior Martial Brother Song is right. Although we have an unresolvable feud against the Flying Celestial Sect, we can only choose to lie low now that things have come down to this.

“Moreover, thankfully, you’ve managed to avoid this tribulation. Now that you’re back, you can support our Repose Palace again.

“The Flying Celestial Sect will be holding the Hundred Sects Meet in a few days’ time. Venerable Master Zhai Xing will officially become the Alliance Chief over all the immortal sects in the higher realm.

“I was worried that there w’s be no one capable of standing up for our Repose Palace and that we would be humiliated. It’s good that Senior Martial Brother is back now.”

“Hmhmph, Hundred Sects Meet?” Tang Xian felt a surge of resentment seething in his chest. However, after he took a look at Fang Xingjian who appeared calm and composed, he sighed inwardly. He was very thankful that he had brought Fang Xingjian here. With this great master here, they would be able to take care of the Venerable Master Zhai Xing.

At the thought of this, Tang Xian instructed Ning Chongxiao, “Alright, Junior Martial Brother Ning, these two are friends I made when I was outside. Arrange the best guest rooms for them. We’ll participate in the Hundred Sects Meet in a few days’ time.”

Just then, a cold snort rang out. Then several old men crossed the air and stood before Tang Xian, scanning his and Huang Shan’s bodies coldly. These few old men were dressed extravagantly and had soaring dispositions. Their expressions were insufferably arrogant and when they saw Tang Xian and Huang Shan, their gazes had a hint of judgment as well.

The white-haired old man in the lead said slowly, “Tang Xian, Huang Shan, you guys were nowhere to be found when the sect was facing trouble. Why did you choose to come back now?”

Ning Chongxiao frowned and secretly communicated via voice transmission, “Senior Martial Brother, Elder Di and the others have always been supportive of being integrated into the Flying Celestial Sect. When Sect Master died in battle, they all chose to surrender. They’ve also been proclaiming the benefits of joining the Flying Celestial Sect all this while as well.

“They were supposed to be the ones to lead everyone to attend the Hundred Sects Meet. Thank goodness that Senior Martial Brother is back now.”

Hearing this, Tang Xian’s eyes narrowed, and there seemed to be killing intent flashing past his eyes.

These few Elders were clearly the group that was supportive of surrendering. They might even have already been bribed by the Flying Celestial Sect since a long time ago.

“What are your opinions on this?”

Ning Chongxiao said seriously, “Our Repose Palace is inferior to others. In order to protect our legacies, we can submit to the Flying Celestial Sect.” Although Ning Chongxiao and the others bore a huge hatred for the Flying Celestial Sect, they were not brainless fools. They knew that if they were to insist on fighting back at this moment, their sect would only suffer. Therefore, they were already prepared for the future developments.

“However, even if we submit to them, we mustn’t fully stand on their side without any bottom line. The Repose Palace must still have a certain amount of autonomy to ensure that our legacies are completely and independently passed down.”

“I understand. It seems that Elder Di and the others don’t think the same?” Tang Xian said.

“That’s right. Elder Di and the others are for the idea of complete submission to the Flying Celestial Sect. The Repose Palace would not exist anymore in the future.”

Hearing that, Tang Xian let out a cold snort but did not say anything. However, looking at the few Elders, his gaze became increasingly unfriendly.
