I searched for corpses in the Wuding River to extract entries

At this moment, in the blessed land of samsara, the spirituality of the animals, plants and creatures has greatly increased.
Countless weak wills resonated with the blessed land itself, forming a huge and gentle torrent of "the will of all living beings" which fed back into Xie Que's soul.

Time passes by quietly like a white horse flying by, and no one knows how much time has passed.

Just when the laws of the samsara paradise were finally completely stabilized, and the embryonic form of the way of heaven contained in it was perfectly integrated with Xie Que's martial arts will,

Suddenly, a pure golden light containing endless vicissitudes and the wishes of all living beings, ignoring the barriers of time and space, suddenly penetrated the void barrier.
Then, like a meteor, it penetrated directly into Xie Que's sea of ​​consciousness between his eyebrows with incredible precision!
The appearance of this spiritual light was so sudden that Xie Que had no time to react at all.

His body trembled violently, as if he had suffered a huge impact, and his eyes widened.
A "face" that is difficult to describe in words was reflected deep in the pupils.

The face was blurry, but it seemed to contain endless mysteries and power.

Just by taking a glance at it, one can seem to feel the vicissitudes of time and the wishes of all living beings contained in it.

Just as Xie Que was shocked by this mysterious "face", a vast, all-embracing torrent of consciousness, like a surging ocean, continuously poured into his sea of ​​consciousness.

This torrent of consciousness was so powerful that Xie Que felt that his soul was about to collapse under the impact of this force.

But he could not resist and could only watch this power wreak havoc in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Under the influence of this torrent of consciousness, an ancient and noble name was imprinted deeply in the depths of Xie Que's true soul like a brand - "Human Emperor"!
And this is exactly what the Heavenly Dao of the Earthly Immortal Realm bestowed upon Xie Que; it is the true orthodoxy of heaven and earth!

When the three demons were guarding the outer perimeter of the cave, suddenly a powerful and mysterious force swept in like a torrent.

This force directly impacted their blood, causing them to have an instinctive sense of submission.

The feeling was so strong that they were completely unable to resist it. Their bodies trembled involuntarily and they finally slowly fell to the ground.

At the same time, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, as if he understood the true meaning of this power.

"Human Emperor...Humanity..." He murmured to himself, with an indescribable shock welling up in his heart.

Xie Que realized that this power was the title of "Human Emperor" bestowed upon him by the Earthly Immortal Realm, as well as the process of infusing the "Great Way of Man" into his mind.

The so-called humanity is not just a kind of magic power or supernatural power. It represents the earthly immortal world and even the heavens and myriad worlds.

It is the ultimate manifestation of the collective will, civilizational heritage, survival instinct and development demands of the "human race" at the level of the rules of heaven and earth.

Humanity is an invisible and intangible existence, but it is everywhere.

It permeates every aspect of human society, affecting human thoughts, behaviors and destiny.

At this moment, Xie Que seemed to feel the history and culture of the entire human race unfolding before his eyes.

At first, a huge amount of information flowed into Xie Que's consciousness like a surging wave, almost drowning him.

He felt as if his consciousness was occupied by countless people at the same time, and as if he was standing on the long river of time, overlooking the historical evolution of the entire human race.

This feeling was both wonderful and palpitating. Xie Que struggled in this flood of information, trying to maintain his clarity and independence.

However, Xie Que's martial arts will is also extremely powerful, which enables him to quickly sort out and control the information he comes into contact with.

As time went by, he gradually understood the nature of humanity.

At this moment, Xie Que suddenly felt that there was a gap between him and all the humans in the Earthly Immortal Realm.
Even those human beings scattered throughout the heavens and all worlds have established a weak but clearly perceptible connection.

Although this connection is weak, it means that Xie Que has officially obtained the position of "Human Emperor" in heaven and earth.

In the world of earthly immortals, Xie Que's status is on par with the way of heaven, and his every word and action has supreme authority.

His words can turn into actions, and can directly affect the fortune of the human race in a world!

As long as the human race does not perish and civilization continues, Xie Que's true spirit can almost reach the realm of immortality!
Even if his body and soul were destroyed, his true spirit could still be re-condensed in the long river of human civilization.

However, because the information flow involved is so huge, Xie Que cannot fully wake up in a short period of time.

During the time when Xie Que was in seclusion, the three demons did not waste their time.

They used this free time to begin to comprehend the part of "Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Demon" bestowed by Xie Que.

Time passed quietly and no one knew how much time had passed.

Finally, Xie Que slowly opened his eyes.

His aura became unusually restrained, like an abyss with no bottom, making it difficult to gauge its depth.

And when his eyes open and close, people can see the rise and fall of civilization and the vicissitudes of humanity.

At this moment, Xie Que's control over his own power has reached a new level.

His martial arts and humanity began to merge, forming the "Human Emperor Martial Arts".

Although Xie Que's strength has improved significantly, his realm still remains at the fifth step of the Half-Step Dao Lord, the "Robbery Realm", and has not advanced any further.

Xie Que stood up, stretched his body, then waved his hand and called the three demons not far away to his side.

After the three demons arrived, Xie Que began to think.

He currently has no idea about the whereabouts of Dazhu Tianjun.

In that case, I might as well go to the three thousand passes and see if I can find some clues there.

As soon as these words were spoken, the three demons were struck by lightning, and their faces instantly turned as pale as paper, completely bloodless.

Seeing this, Xie Que couldn't help but feel very surprised. He really couldn't figure out what kind of terrible things these three monsters had experienced in the Three Thousand Gates.

Just hearing his own proposal resulted in such a horrified reaction.

However, Xie Que did not care about this, because he had already left a mark in the souls of the three monsters.

This means that the three demons are completely under his control, and no matter how reluctant they are, they cannot go against his will.

Therefore, even if the three demons were resistant to his proposal, they had no choice but to accept it at this moment.

According to the three monsters, the Three Thousand Gates are extremely far away from here. Even if one uses the Rainbow Transformation Technique to continuously travel through the void, it will probably take tens of thousands of years to arrive.

This was undoubtedly a long journey, but Xie Que did not feel anxious about it.

To him, ten thousand years is just a fleeting moment.

However, to some extent, this was also the first time in Xie Que's life that he had traveled such a long distance purely in a hurry.

During this endless journey, he constantly witnessed the birth and destruction of the world, and the raging and calming of the void storm.

Every birth of the world is like the blossoming of life, brilliant and dazzling.

And every time the world disappears, it seems like the end of life, bleak and silent.

Xie Que observed all this quietly, imprinting these scenes deeply in his mind, turning them into his understanding of the Tao.

In the void, most areas are eternally dark and cold, with nothing in them but faint starlight twinkling in the distance.

The huge, dead star debris floated quietly in the darkness like tombstones. Occasionally, they would encounter some floating, huge biological skeletons, which exuded an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

In some areas, the flow of time is abnormal. One day in the outside world may be a hundred years inside.

The three demons relied on their rich experience and successfully avoided many known Jedi.

According to rumors, these Jedi were desperate places formed from the corpses of those who were about to achieve enlightenment but failed.

These places are full of endless dangers and strangeness. If you are not careful, you may get lost forever.

During this long journey, time seems to become slow and long.

The three demons traveled with Xie Que, and the communication between them became more and more frequent.

The three demons talked incessantly to Xie Que about all the things they had seen and heard during their millions of years in the void.

These stories are rich and varied, some of them are about their free travels before being enslaved by the Immortal King Wu Tian,

Some are thrilling experiences of being trapped in the secret realm of time and space, and some are the void legends they have heard and the strange customs of different worlds.

Xie Que listened quietly and occasionally asked some questions.
He was like a sponge, constantly absorbing this knowledge and broadening his horizons.

At the same time, Xie Que did not forget to hone himself during the journey.

He incorporated the principles he had realized in the void into his own martial arts, trying to take his strength to a higher level.

The three demons, under the protection of Xie Que, took the time to practice.

They know very well that in this dangerous void, only by constantly improving their strength can they survive better.

In this way, more than eight thousand years passed quietly.

Finally, one day, Xie Que saw the legendary three thousand passes from afar.

It was a pillar of light that reached the sky, made up of countless colors!

These pillars of light towered into the clouds, as if connecting the passage between heaven and earth.

At this moment, the energy in the originally calm void began to gradually become agitated, as if awakened by an invisible force.

These energies are no longer surging in a disorderly manner, but begin to show regular fluctuations, as if they were directed by an invisible hand.

Xie Que stood quietly in the void. Although his body seemed calm, his mind was actually highly concentrated.

He could clearly feel the changes in the surrounding environment, especially the auras coming from different directions and of varying strengths.

These auras are likely to come from powerful beings from other worlds.

Like himself, they had traveled through the endless void and arrived at this place.

Thinking of this, Xie Que couldn't help but feel excited.
After all, it is a rare thing to be able to gather together with so many powerful people.

After passing through a barrier made of distorted starlight, Xie Que finally saw the legendary three thousand gates.

These three thousand passes were much larger than he had imagined. From a distance, they looked like an insurmountable mountain stretching across the void.

However, when Xie Que gradually approached the Three Thousand Gates, he truly felt its shock.

It was a "pillar" so huge that it could not be described in words. It stood in the center of the void, as if it was the core of the entire void.

The colors of this "pillar" are extremely diverse and dazzling, and it is impossible to tell how many colors there are in it.

Moreover, this "pillar" is not a physical substance, but is composed of a collection of laws.

These laws seemed to be solidified together, yet seemed to be constantly flowing, containing within them the brilliance of the three thousand origins of the great ways.

The diameter of this "pillar" is measured in "light years", and its height is immeasurable.

It extends upward, all the way to the end that cannot be reached by sight or divine thought, as if it runs through the entire dimension of the void.

Standing in front of this "pillar", Xie Que felt like an insignificant speck of dust, looking up at the vast galaxy.

On the surface of the column, countless mysterious Taoist patterns flickered, sometimes turning into flowing stars, sometimes turning into undulating mountains and rivers, sometimes turning into phantoms of living beings, and sometimes returning to chaos.

When gazing at the pillar, one gets the feeling of being watched by some unimaginable supreme being.

Especially in the core area of ​​the column, the light is the most profound and restrained, indeed like an incomparably huge "Eye of Heaven" that is indifferent to all living things.

At the "bottom" of the giant pillar, there is a relatively small "gap" or "portal", through which light flows, forming a curtain of light.

This is the entrance to the "Three Thousand Gates".

The area near the entrance was empty and deserted.

There was no expected scene of immortals coming to pay homage or powerful people gathering, but only the eternally flowing light of Tao and the dead silence of the void.

The blue lion's tone was filled with awe and a hint of fear: "My Lord, this is the true entrance to the 'Three Thousand Gates'."

"The emptiness you see is normal. Once all the challengers step through that door, they enter the complex time and space that is independently developed within the gate."

"Their figures, auras, and even battle fluctuations are all isolated by the power of the Dao Gate itself. They cannot be sensed from the outside."

“Immortal King Wu Tian… entered this gate with high spirits back then… but ultimately fell here.”

Bai Xiang and Dapeng looked at the light gate with complicated expressions, obviously thinking of their old master.

After thinking about it, Xie Que asked the three demons to wait outside.

He stepped into the light curtain and his figure disappeared in an instant.

After entering, what comes into view is not the dangerous environment or powerful enemy as imagined.

Instead, it is a vast, pure white space that is so silent that it is suffocating.

In this pure white space, countless huge, translucent "cocoons" are suspended.

These cocoons vary in size and shape, emitting auras of varying strengths and properties.

There is a figure sealed in each cocoon!
Some are similar in form to humans, some are strange aliens, and some are even just energy bodies or mechanical structures.

They all maintained the same posture they had when they entered, either sitting cross-legged, standing, or in a fighting position, with frozen expressions, like amber specimens frozen in time.

Xie Que could clearly feel that among the beings sealed in these cocoons, none was weak!
The weakest one is far superior to the ordinary Heavenly King, and is at least in the Rong Dao realm!

There were many that exuded a terrifying aura that made him feel palpitating!
Moreover, the number of these powerful people is as numerous as the grains of sand in the Ganges, with no end in sight.

At this moment, Xie Que suddenly remembered what Qingshi said.

The "ocean of cocoons" before our eyes are the seekers who have tried to enter the first level but failed over many epochs!
They were trapped by the Dao Gate, and thus locked in the power of the long river of time. (End of this chapter)
