Chapter 425: One Step, One Gate, Flicking Through the Heavenly Ladder (2)
Now, everyone in the myriad worlds was waiting for the next move from that supreme being who had reopened the Heaven Gate. Only then could they decide what they should do next.
At this moment, everyone’s gazes were focused on Cui Heng, waiting for his next move.
However, Cui Heng only stood on the Heaven Ascension Golden Platform without moving, as if he was lost in thought.
However, he quickly regained his senses and continued to stare at the Heaven Gate. He said in a low voice, “Hui Shi, it’s your turn!”
“Yes, Sir!” Hui Shi nodded and released all the power in his body. He no longer concealed the huge aura on his body, and endless light suddenly bloomed on his body.
A terrifying pressure that was like the descent of the Heavenly Dao runes suddenly enveloped the entire Taihong Star.
The wisp of soul that was originally entrusted to the void officially returned to Hui Shi’s body.
This made him complete, and the aura and pressure on his body became even stronger. Taihong Star began to tremble violently under his feet.
Many Sage Kings and Creators present were stunned.
They looked at Hui Shi, who was emitting endless light and intertwined with the Dao runes of the endless Heavenly Domain, in disbelief.
This follower who had been following Immortal Venerable Cui without saying much was actually an expert who stood at the Peak of the Nine Realms of the Immortal World.
It was too shocking.
At the same time, the three Lords of the Heavens in the Three Heavens also sensed the changes in Hui Shi.
They were also dumbfounded. They did not expect Hui Shi to be an Ascension Realm expert.
This was only a follower of Immortal Venerable Cui. Did a follower also need to reach the Ascension Realm?
Wasn’t this a little too much?
Even when the Heaven Realm was still around, Ascension Realm experts were enough to become famous figures in the Heaven Realm.
Now, he was actually just a follower of Immortal Venerable Cui.
Was this the type of strength needed to directly change the rules of the Heavens?
It was too powerful!
Boom!
Suddenly, an incomparably loud sound spread throughout the void. It sounded directly in one’s spiritual world. Even in the void of the universe, one could hear this loud sound.
Everyone subconsciously looked up at the sky and saw that Hui Shi, who had just soared into the sky, had actually reopened the illusory and real Heaven Gate.
The entire process was as effortless as pushing open an ordinary door.
At this moment, the golden light of the Heaven Gate had already enveloped Hui Shi’s entire body. He began to inherit the power characteristics of the Heaven Gate and obtained power that surpassed the Nine Realms of the Immortal World.
A moment later, Hui Shi absorbed all the Heaven Gate golden light and stored the first Heaven Gate power characteristic in his body.
However, he did not stop moving. He actually crossed the First Heaven Gate and ascended to a higher place.
Then, everyone saw the Heaven Gate behind him gradually disappear and fade. In front of him, an even larger golden door was slowly condensing, becoming more and more real.
The Second Heaven Gate!
Boom!
Hui Shi barged through again. It was still as easy as before. It did not take him much effort.
At this moment, even the three Heaven Gate experts were stunned.
The three of them were only at the Second Heaven Gate realm. Now, this fellow who was only at the Ninth Immortal World Realm just now actually wanted to break through the Heaven Gate twice in a row and to reach the same realm as them.
“There’s actually such a thing? What kind of existence is this Divine Lord?!” Chu Yao turned to look at Cui Heng, his heart shocked to the extreme.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, the sound of the Heaven Gate being attacked appeared in the sky again.
The Third Heaven Gate!
This time, everyone was already shocked to the extreme. Crossing three Heaven Gates in a row. How earth-shattering was this? It was unheard of since ancient times!
But this was still not the end.
After crossing the Third Heaven Gate, Hui Shi actually continued forward.
Such actions left everyone dumbfounded.
“What a joke. Is he trying to directly cross the First Heavenly Ladder?”
“How is this possible? How can someone directly break through to the Fourth Heaven Gate realm from the Ninth Realm of the Immortal World and cross the Heavenly Ladder!”
“Is Immortal Venerable Cui’s follower also so powerful? It’s too unbelievable!”
Amidst cries of surprise, Hui Shi stepped into the Fourth Heaven Gate.
Moreover, this time was completely different from the previous three times. The phenomenon was even more obvious. In front of this Heaven Gate, a staircase that seemed to lead to endless heights actually appeared. The Heaven Gate also became endlessly high, and the aura it emitted was far stronger than before.
Hui Shi stepped onto this staircase and ascended step by step. The aura on his body soared.
He was crossing the First Heavenly Ladder! The scene of Hui Shi crossing the Heavenly Ladder not only appeared near Taihong Star, but it also illuminated the myriad worlds of this Star Field. Almost all the living beings saw Hui Shi stepping on the Heavenly Ladder.
At this moment, a thought flashed through everyone’s minds.
How powerful was the existence standing behind this person who was crossing the Heavenly Ladder?!
Not only did he change the Heavenly rules to restart the Heaven Gate, but he also let a Ninth Realm cultivator break through to the level of crossing the First Heavenly Ladder!
Boom!
Amidst this loud bang that spread throughout the myriad worlds, Hui Shi successfully crossed the First Heavenly Ladder and stepped into the Fourth Heaven Gate realm. Then, the golden light of the Heaven Gate descended and the characteristics of its power began to condense!
At this moment, be it the Sage Kings, Creators, the three Heaven Gate experts of the Outer World, or the experts of the myriad worlds, they were all a little numb.
This series of breakthroughs had completely refreshed their understanding of the 12 Heaven Gate realms.
So it was so easy to break through the Heaven Gate?
So crossing the Heavenly Ladder was so easy?
As for the “mastermind” behind all of this, Cui Heng, he was still standing on the Heaven Ascension Golden Platform. His eyes were slightly closed, and his breathing was even. His entire body emitted a sparkling and clear light, as if he was comprehending something.
In fact, he was indeed comprehending.
Actually, just after Cui Heng changed the rules of the Heaven Gate and made it so that the Heaven Gate could be attacked, he realized that he had established a faint communication relationship with the Heaven Gate.
Through this communication relationship, his communication with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth became deeper and closer. This allowed his cultivation speed to increase greatly.
If he could continue this communication and maintain this speed of cultivation improvement, he would be able to break through to the Mid-stage Soul Formation realm in less than 10,000 years.
This was definitely an extremely huge gain.
Previously, he had spent a lot of effort and used many ways to establish communication, but he could only barely reduce the time to advance to the Mid-stage Soul Formation realm from tens of millions of years to millions of years.
Unexpectedly, he had actually shortened the time to about 10,000 years!
He had simply eaten a huge bag of experience in one go!
“If I’m not wrong, this should be because the Heaven Gate is essentially something that gathers the mysteries of all the Great Dao laws of the entire Star Field.”
Cui Heng thought to himself, “The communication relationship I established with it is equivalent to directly communicating with the source of the Great Dao of this Star Field. The speed of my cultivation improvement naturally increased.”
“But the problem is how did I establish communication with this Heaven Gate, and how should I deepen this communication? The rules I modified are targeted at the Door of Heaven, and they didn’t directly affect the Heaven Gate.”
“Or could it be that because the Door of Heaven is a treasure made based on some of the Heaven Gate characteristics, so affecting it and releasing its restrictions on the Heaven Gate is actually affecting the Heaven Gate and establishing communication?”
Hui Shi’s continuous attacks on the Heaven Gate did not affect the communication between me and the Heaven Gate. Looks like I have to influence the Heaven Gate or the Door of Heaven myself to make this communication deeper.
“Wait, the Heaven Realm is connected to the Door of Heaven. If I explore the Heaven Realm in depth, can I deepen this communication? In that case, it’s still necessary to open the Door of Heaven and make a trip to the Heaven Realm.”
“Heh, after all this, I’ve returned to the path of finding Zhou Juntian.”
