What is a barrier?
Before the Realm of Transcendence, he would think of it as obstacles before ascension.
Starting from the initial Celestial and Human Connection, breaking through the Celestial Being—Opening Divine Spring—Building the Divine Bridge—Reaching the Other Shore—Seeing the Self—Divine Gaze—Transcendence, step by step, barriers have always been obstacles preventing forward progress.
But now, he has a different perspective.
A barrier is a door, a door that must be cleverly opened to reveal a new world beyond.
At this mont, he was undoubtedly knocking on this mystical door he had never seen before.
Moreover, this door had already opened slightly, and the power pouring out was srizing, making him eager to push the door fully open and glimpse the full view behind it.
What lies beyond Transcendence?
It’s the grim faces of seven old fellows!
Listen to what he’s saying, hold on, with what?
With your head?
Elder Luo began rummaging through his belongings in exasperation; it’s a matter of life and death, so hiding things certainly leads to doom.
The six others with similar thoughts were also tinkering, becoming more frustrated as they fiddled.
"Who the hell goes out carrying a bunch of magical treasures!"
The Great Elder of the Unparalleled Tower’s face turned dark, having made no preparation.
No one was prepared.
The wine-loving one from Langya Mountain was already pouring out wine; at this stage, even the wine gourd had to be thrown in.
The old monk from Galan Temple looked miserable, taking off his robe, with a wooden fish in one hand and the robe in the other.
And those who had nothing to remove could only stare blankly.
Boom! Boom!
The sound of two consecutive muffled thunders ant the Tribulation Thunder was about to strike.
It’s here!
Eight streaks of blue lightning, each a yard wide, fell together.
Hang on!
The old monk from Galan Temple threw the wooden fish into the sky, braving the lightning head-on. At this mont, the Brahma sound echoed in the world as the old monk finally fought for his life.
The wooden fish emitted light and stood up to the lightning, but unfortunately, within a few breaths, it shattered on impact.
The robe!
In the next mont, the robe sparkled with colorful light, taking the place of the wooden fish and withstanding the Tribulation Thunder.
The Great Elder from Langya Mountain hugged the wine gourd, feeling as if his heart was bleeding, but he had to throw it out at once.
The enormous gourd spun and flew up, continuously swelling, resembling a small mountain.
"Receive!"
The mouth of the gourd opened wide, and a trendous suction began devouring the Tribulation Thunder.
The Blade and Sword strike together!
The Great Elder from the Unparalleled Tower, with tears in his eyes, pushed them both to their utmost limits, crossing the void like the Celestial Blade and Heavenly Sword.
Dragon and Phoenix soar together!
The Great Elder from the Dragon and Phoenix Palace hesitantly took off the Dragon and Phoenix Bracelet from his hand, using the cultivation technique. Instantly, the image of a dragon soaring and a phoenix dancing appeared, flipping towards the Tribulation Thunder.
The Great Elder from the Qinglan Sect gritted his teeth, frustrated as he took out a copper mirror from his bosom, pointing with two fingers to form a circle.
The mirror surface expanded continuously, and after a ripple, it beca as deep as the water, directly capturing the Tribulation Thunder within it.
The Great Elder from the Star Moon Pavilion tossed out a chessboard with chess pieces, which ford an array as they separated, guiding the Tribulation Thunder into it in an instant.
When it was Elder Luo’s turn, he was sowhat clueless; damn it, each one had been hiding so deeply, all possessing treasure troves, yet he had none.
The best magical treasure had already been passed down to You Li, and what’s left wasn’t enough against the Tribulation Thunder.
"Old fellow, you’re killing ."
Helplessly, he threw out all the usable magical artifacts he had.
"Explode!"
His idea was the simplest, directly using the magical artifacts and treasures as single-use items, combined with secret techniques to explode them all.
Little did he know that although his magical treasures were not the best, the commotion they caused was the greatest.
The last remaining Great Elder of the Piaomiao Sect was neither joyful nor sad, and the incomplete scroll once again headed towards the Tribulation Thunder, followed by an item not of gold or iron, entirely black, forming a token.
The token was engraved with three words: Mountain Driving Order.
As the token gradually expanded in size, its shape began to reveal enormous changes.
And this change was incredibly peculiar, revealing its original form, which was a mountain.
One mountain, one scroll, single-handedly bearing the weight of a thousand lightnings!
At this mont, everything outside was hard to capture his attention. From the mont he infused his spirit into the barrier, everything behind the door had completely imrsed him.
What’s behind the door?
There’s nothing behind the door!
Only an incense burner and a divine altar.
The Great Elder of the Piaomiao Sect looked as though he had seen a ghost. How could this be what was behind the door?
He road inside like a thief who had pried open the door, only to find no "treasure."
This door allowed him to enter, but he hadn’t truly entered because he hadn’t obtained the things inside.
An incense burner, a divine altar, what on earth did this an?
Offering? ditation?
He envisioned all the portraits of the ancestors in his mind, but the divine altar remained motionless.
"You said to hold on for a while, but I’m about to lose it,"
Elder Luo, with the most spectacular display, was the first to falter, having the least magical treasures, carrying injuries, and almost everything usable being exhausted.
He shouted angrily at this mont.
You really tricked ; at this critical juncture, you still want to screw over.
Elder Luo felt sorrowful.
In truth, it’s not just him; the others were hardly in a better condition.
Langya Mountain’s wine gourd had already cracked, with thunder light flickering through the fissures. If it exploded, he might not die, but he’d shed a layer of skin.
The Great Elder from the Star Moon Pavilion’s array was teetering; chess pieces exploded one after another, and the chessboard creaked ominously.
The old monk’s robe was torn, the Qinglan Sect’s copper mirror lost its luster, the Star Moon Pavilion’s Dragon and Phoenix were listless, and the Unparalleled Tower’s Blade and Sword were riddled with gaps...
Even the Great Elder of the Piaomiao Sect’s magical treasures were nearly destroyed; the scroll already tattered, with the position of the mountains left blank, and the mountain ford by the Mountain Driving Order had been chopped off at the peak.
It was too hasty; he anticipated that the barrier needed external force, that breaking through required Tribulation Thunder, but he hadn’t foreseen that a riddle would be left after opening the door.
Divine altar, divine altar...
He envisioned every idol worthy of veneration but that divine altar didn’t respond at all.
Dazed, he unwittingly placed himself on it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the heavens and the earth, it seed as if the sky and earth were collapsing, and the Tribulation Thunder besieging everyone had stopped.
"Is it over?"
Before a single breath could be caught, they each turned pale as sheets.
The Thunder Pool woven in the sky seed to be about to crash down entirely, just like when Han Yu had faced it.
"What the hell did you do?"
Elder Luo cursed, trembling, knowing that this situation was definitely related to that old fellow.
Naturally, it was related. The Great Elder of the Piaomiao Sect suddenly snapped from his stunned state, having been shocked by the myriad lightnings. The divine altar collapsed with a crash, and the door had disappeared again...
He had successfully learned everything about what was behind the door.
But he couldn’t grasp any of it!
anwhile, because of him, the Tribulation Thunder had now led to the final phase.
"It’s over!"
"Hide if you can!"
The group looked at the Great Elder of the Piaomiao Sect’s ashen face, having roughly guessed what it ant, and could only flee for their lives.
It all ended in a disastrous failure!
