Gate of Chengtian

Chapter 211: Gate of Chengtian

Qin Mu taught Hu Ling'er how to control the mechanism. He left a control panel on the chest of Dutian Demon King. With a gentle push on the secret compartment on the chest, the control panel would pop out automatically.

The statue of Demon King Dutian, made of cold iron and golden crystal, is extremely large, about 28 feet high. Qin Mu also spent a lot of money on it. The purchase of cold iron and golden crystal alone cost him 10,000 Dafeng coins.

The statue's mechanism consists of tens of thousands of components, with eight or nine hundred gears alone, making it extremely complex.

Even if Demon King Dutian is unwilling to move, he can be controlled to act by sitting in the control console. The statue has eight arms and is very powerful in a fight. Ordinary people with magical powers will find it difficult to break the defense of the cold iron gold crystal.

There is also a small alchemy furnace in the heart of the statue's mechanism. Its structure is similar to the one he built for the fire bandit Fan Yunxiao, but the furnace on Fan Yunxiao's broken ship was his first time refining it, and he did not have much experience. This time, the furnace was not only much smaller, but also more sophisticated.

Sitting at the control console, Hu Ling'er can throw medicinal stones into the small alchemy furnace and use her vital energy to control the firepower of the alchemy furnace. Even without the Demon King Dutian, she can use this statue mechanism as a heavy armor mechanical weapon.

If the Demon King Dutian regards the statue's mechanism as his body to help him fight, then the power he unleashes will be extraordinary. I'm afraid that even ordinary masters of the Six Harmonies realm will not be his match, and masters of the Seven Stars realm cannot say for sure whether they can win.

Pastor Qin created such a statue mechanism from the dumb, the deaf and Master Ma. For him, it was just a matter of integrating the knowledge passed down to him by the dumb, the deaf and Master Ma, and he did not make much innovation himself.

The only innovation is integration.

However, for others, this statue mechanism is definitely at the level of forging masters, mechanical masters, and rune masters, creating another unique form of combat.

Hu Ling'er was in high spirits. She ignored the Demon King Dutian in the statue's body and immediately sat on the small control panel, controlling the statue's mechanism to run out.

Qin Mu hurriedly said: "Long Da, follow her and don't let her get into trouble!"

The dragon unicorn responded and walked out, following the snarling statue and the yelling fox Ling'er. Qin Mu stared at the dragon unicorn's back, only to see that its belly was almost touching the ground.

"This guy really should reduce his food intake."

Qin Mu shook his head. This dragon unicorn used to be very strong. Although it was often hungry, it looked majestic and no one dared to approach it when it was guarding the mountain gate.

However, since following him, she never missed a bucket of Red Fire Spirit Pill every day, and she drank the water from Yulong Lake without hesitation, which caused her to get fatter and fatter, and her body size grew a lot.

If it continues like this, the Dragon Qilin will sooner or later turn into a big meatball, with only its belly supporting the ground, and its claws will never be able to stand on the ground again.

"The food that our ancestor gave him in the past was definitely not a bucket of Red Fire Spirit Pills, otherwise this guy would have become fat as a ball. This guy lied about his food, so I'll just give him half a bucket of Red Fire Spirit Pills from now on."

Qin Muping concentrated his mind and activated the Three Dan Techniques of Tyrant Body again, transforming into the form of Zhenxingjun, a figure with a human head and a snake body, holding a scroll in his hand. Behind him, a portal gradually emerged.

Qin Mu turned around, his soul was shaken and he made a strange sound. It was the Youdu language taught to him by the Demon King Dutian. The Demon King Dutian called it the Gate of Kun Yuan. Although the real meaning was not sure whether it was the Gate of Kun Yuan, he did not learn it wrong.

He recited the words on the door, and suddenly the Kunyuan Gate slowly opened, revealing an endless dark space.

Qin Mu was stunned and walked around the portal, but he still saw his own yard. The portal was incredibly thin, as if it had no thickness at all. From his perspective, he could only see an extremely thin darkness standing there.

But when I stood in front of the door, I saw endless dark space.

"Is this a portal that can connect to another world?"

Qin Mu was stunned. He stretched out his hand and carefully reached into the door, but found nothing unusual.

"Is this the secret of the Five Lights Realm? Does anyone else have this portal in their Five Lights Realm? Has anyone ever opened it and entered it?"

He was a little hesitant. What would he encounter if he entered this portal? Could this darkness be the legendary Netherworld?

After going in, can you come back alive?

At this moment, Qin Mu saw a ray of light coming from the dark world behind the door. It was a boat with one person and a dim light hanging on the bow. The light was dim, and the boat was floating towards this side.

Under the light at the bow, there was an old man sitting there making paper people and paper horses. The light was swaying, and it seemed very quiet.

He tried to lean his head into the door, but saw the old man raised his hand to take down the lantern, and shone the light in his direction. Qin Mu was illuminated by the light and suddenly felt as if his soul was frozen and he could not move.

The old man on the boat hung the lamp on the bow, and the light no longer fell on Qin Mu. He then breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Qin Mu felt a chill down his spine. He looked down and saw that he was standing on the boat, next to the old man!

The boat slowly turned around. Qin Mu looked back and saw a light coming from a gate in the distance. In front of the gate, he was standing there, leaning his head and looking over here!

In front of the gate, his body seemed to be frozen there, motionless.

I am still in front of the portal, so who am I here?

He looked around and saw darkness all around, with only the lights on the ship and the light coming from the Kunyuan Gate.

His heart felt cold. The old man on the boat who made paper people and paper horses shone the light on him, and took away his soul and brought it onto the boat!

He in front of the portal was already a soulless body!

"I'm not dead yet, why are you taking my soul?" Qin Mu asked the old man.

The old man turned a deaf ear to him and continued to concentrate on making paper figures and horses.

Qin Mu looked back and saw that the Kunyuan Gate was getting farther and farther away, which made him more and more frightened. The Demon King Dutian was indeed hiding something. That gate might not be the Kunyuan Gate, otherwise the old man would not have taken away his soul!

He jumped off the boat. Now he was not too far from the portal. Maybe he could return to the portal and return to his body!

However, after he jumped off the boat, he did not fall into the water as he had imagined. Outside the boat was darkness, endless darkness.

He was like a drowning man, his hands and feet tumbling around, but he had nowhere to gain leverage. He could only watch himself sink deeper and deeper into the dark.

He looked up and saw that the small boat was getting farther and farther away from him in the dark. The light on the bow was getting smaller and dimmer, until it was barely noticeable.

"That bastard Dutian Demon King still plotted against me..."

Qin Mu felt like he had fallen into a nightmare of endless darkness. There was no way to escape the darkness that was getting darker and darker, no way to struggle or save himself.

This is a despairing darkness and a hopeless sinking.

And the ship that could carry his soul has sailed away.

Suddenly, Qin Mu used all his strength and shouted with his soul, shouting out the Youdu language that the Demon King Dutian taught him. The obscure tone was gentle and rugged, and extremely difficult to pronounce, but it could only be shouted out by the soul!

After he finished speaking, suddenly an equally obscure, ancient and vicissitudes of life voice came from the boundless darkness. This voice also spoke the language of Youdu. It sounded like chanting, and also like ancient ancestors were holding a sacrifice, using their lives and blood to sacrifice to a heavy god who bore everything.

Qin Mu immediately felt his body slowly floating up, the speed getting faster and faster, and finally turned into a stream of light.

He saw the ship in the stream of light, and then he saw the portal.

The stream of light whistled, flew out of the darkness, and rushed into Qin Mu's body in the portal.

Qin Mu's body shook violently, he gasped for breath, and was covered in sweat, as if he had just crawled out of the water.

Behind the gate, the boat was floating slowly again. The old man on the boat looked at him, but this time he did not hold the lantern to shine on him.

Qin Mu stood in front of the portal, ready to disperse his Star-Suppressing Lord form at any time to make the portal disappear, and said loudly: "Brother Dao, what do you mean by that sentence?"

The old man's eyes fell on him, and the boat turned and sailed into the darkness.

"Great is Kun Yuan, all things are born and live in harmony with Heaven."

"Kun is thick and holds all things, and its virtue is boundless. It is broad and glorious, and all things flourish."

"A mare is like the earth, she travels without boundaries, she is gentle, smooth and steadfast. When a gentleman travels, he first loses his way, then finds his way..."①

"What you said is the most profound Kun Yuan. If you had said it earlier, your soul would not be imprisoned."

The boat went farther and farther away, and gradually disappeared. The old man's voice came, becoming fainter and fainter: "This door is the gate of Youdu Chengtian, Kunyuan Chengtian. Ghosts and gods can enter, but you can't enter..."

"The Demon King Dutian really did harm me!"

Qin Mu was furious, then he laughed out loud: "But fortunately he didn't lose his life, I will slowly deal with him. Hey, my soul seems to have changed a little bit..."

He felt that his soul had become much stronger after the trip to Youdu. Qin Mu was stunned and activated the Three Dan Technique of Tyrant Body. He immediately felt an indescribable power coming from the Chengtian Gate, nourishing his soul!

He couldn't help but be stunned. Although the Demon King Dutian lied to him, he didn't lie to him completely.

Demon King Dutian was right. If he could recognize the Youdu characters on the portal and open it, he would indeed have no shortcomings in his practice and would be better than National Master Yankang in this realm!

The Zhenxingjun form in the Five Stars Realm is of vital importance to him, and is the key to soul cultivation!

After a long time, Qin Mu felt that his soul was becoming more and more stable. He looked at the book in his hand and saw that the words on the book gradually became clearer. Strange words in the shapes of birds, beasts, insects, fish, sun and moon appeared on it.

Although he did not recognize these words, he seemed to understand their meaning. As his eyes swept over them, the mysteries of the words in the book automatically turned into knowledge in his mind.
