Chapter 9 Tianmen's Power

The Nine Heavens Gate was originally the supreme treasure of West Kunlun. Later, it secretly coincided with Kai Ming's power to observe all directions, possessing the mystical ability to simultaneously perceive everything happening within the ten directions. Now, Wei Yuan was using karma to drive this divine weapon, so theoretically, anyone within the ten directions with karmic ties to Wei Yuan would be within his perception.

Of course, the theory was correct.

A sense of the ethereal did indeed arise.

However, weren't there a few too many responses? Kai Ming's mouth twitched as he looked at the layers of flowing light that lit up in front of him. His speech was a bit clumsy as he said, "This, so many… was Hou Tu killed and directly shattered? That shouldn't be. If that were the case, the rules of heaven and earth would have feedback, but there clearly hasn't been any!"

"And Hou Tu, the virtue of the earth, even if she died, even if she were truly scattered, the earth would gather her into one."

"Hmm? Wait, this is…"

Kai Ming's scalp tingled with shock. He spun around in place, and then seemed to realize something, his expression freezing.

Could this be… could this guy…

He rushed out a few steps, reaching out to press down. The numerous laws in the air suddenly changed and intertwined, instantly becoming even more dim, reflecting off the entire room as if it had fallen into the depths of the galaxy, mysterious beyond compare. Kai Ming's mouth twitched as he said, "It's not just one reaction, which means there are this many people with heavy karma with you now?!"

"Damn it, Wei Yuan, what kind of promiscuous Heavenly Venerate are you?!"

"How many people have you formed karmic ties with over the years???"

Wei Yuan had reincarnated countless times in the mortal realm, and the number of people he had formed karmic ties with was so vast that Kai Ming's scalp tingled just thinking about it. The number was probably greater than the number of life-saving, heart-protecting golden pills consumed by the Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain. He watched as the Nine Heavens Gate, which had been painstakingly repaired, seemed unable to withstand this overload of power and began to tremble slightly, even developing cracks.

It was as if it was bearing a burden that did not belong to it.

It looked like it was about to go on strike.

Kai Ming's face darkened. He shouted, "Damn it, Wei Yuan, calm down!"

"Don't spread all your karma out! Find, find the one with the heaviest karmic connection to you at this time. Also, keep Hou Tu's name and aura in your mind, and then be precise!"

"Restrain your aura!"

"Don't spread out all your karma in one go!"

"Yes, like that, hold back, hold back!"

"Don't use it like a brute!"

Accompanying Kai Ming's almost trembling voice, Wei Yuan restrained most of his karma, but even so, there were still three strands of karmic energy spreading and flowing, still present in this room. One of them was particularly rich, while the other two were much dimmer, much more ethereal, but they stubbornly refused to sever.

"That is Hou Tu's aura."

Kai Ming stared intently at the most central karmic connection. Wei Yuan also sensed the aura of Hou Tu emanating from behind this karmic connection. Even now, his heart was stirred, recalling his old friend and the promise to save her. These promises seemed as if they were made just yesterday.

It was as if that woman with the gentle face and the man with the simple demeanor were still drinking tea and discussing Daoist arts with him yesterday.

But that was really thousands of years ago.

"I'm coming…"

The remaining two strands of karmic aura also broke off instantly. The Nine Heavens Gate instantly merged together, transforming into a single heavenly gate, emitting extremely powerful divine fluctuations. A wisp of Wei Yuan's consciousness instantly passed through this Nine Heavens Gate, which was radiating a rich spiritual aura. In an instant, he 'saw' Hou Tu.

Wei Yuan saw a woman in a yellow dress sitting quietly on a stone platform.

He saw that her complexion was not as good as it used to be, but instead revealed a sense of extreme paleness. Her eyes were closed, stabilizing her true spirit. Wei Yuan tried to call out to her with karma, but received no response. It seemed that everything from the outside could not be transmitted. Beside the woman, two extremely pure auras were swirling around.

One of them was vast and surging, like an abyss from the deepest night, a pure darkness that did not allow light to pass through. The other was an equally pure light. The two auras represented [Yin] and [Yang] in the rules of the world, and they were extremely pure. The two energies of Yin and Yang, swirling and entwining, should have been in a state of balance.

However, the Yin and Yang energies that trapped Hou Tu were revealing an extremely strange sense of violence.

Faintly, even the Yin-Yang cycle, which should have been the ultimate truth, showed signs of instability and collapse. This state of Yin and Yang out of order caused the surrounding vitality to become extremely violent, making Wei Yuan subconsciously think of the several manifestations of the great tribulation that Di Jun had mentioned when they were talking before.

One of them was that the laws and order that had been recognized as the ultimate truth, such as the balance of Yin and Yang energies and reincarnation, had changed, leading to extreme situations such as life not being life and death not being death, resulting in a chain reaction that led to a series of laws collapsing, eventually returning the world to the order of chaos and extinguishing all things.

How similar was this to the environment Hou Tu was in now! So, the future from before was when I was looking for Hou Tu and directly stepped into the great changes of the world that were brewing, and then managed to kill my way out, only to encounter the ambush of the Great Venerable of the World of Turbidity. In a state of exhaustion, I encountered a siege of multiple Dao Fruit Realm experts, and finally perished.

Well, Wei Yuan suddenly understood the Great Venerable of the World of Turbidity's thoughts.

If he had an enemy who was subjected to such a series of events, he would probably only have one thought left in his mind—you're not dead after all that?! You can still fight back?! This always reminded Wei Yuan of the scene that was spread everywhere as a meme when he was a student: Can you kill me in seconds??? If you can kill me with seventeen cards today, I'll eat this computer screen on the spot!!!

That was probably what the Great Venerable was thinking back then! Not knowing how many times he had sighed, the Dao Fruit of Karma was indeed extremely strange.

Fate did not die unjustly—Huantian back then should have seen something, so he participated in the great battle to kill Fate! Wei Yuan abandoned his distracting thoughts. He wanted to transmit his voice again, but still did not receive any response. His friend, with her gentle face, was still quietly closing her eyes, her temperament as soft as a girl sitting on a faded park bench in a forest park with falling leaves in late autumn, quietly reading a book. The changes and flow of the Yin and Yang energies were like the afterglow of the setting sun shining on her face.

"I will save you."

Wei Yuan vowed softly in his heart.

I will wait for you to save me.

And the words Hou Tu said to him during their last parting seemed to echo in his ears again. She seemed to have never doubted that Wei Yuan would come to save her, nor did she doubt that Wei Yuan did not have the ability to save her.

Wei Yuan took one last look at Hou Tu, and his consciousness quickly retracted from within the Nine Heavens Gate.

After all, this was just a connection completed by relying on the Nine Heavens Gate. It was not stable enough, nor safe enough. Kai Ming was sitting on the sofa, tossing a bottle of Happy Water in boredom, and then discovered that he had learned how to concoct a special drink based on Happy Water, decorated with candied haws, using a bartender's technique without being taught.

Just as he was having a great time playing, he saw Wei Yuan open his eyes.

The layers of flowing patterns on the Nine Heavens Gate stopped moving in an instant. The brilliance that seemed like a living thing began to converge from the outermost edge towards the center in an instant, gathering into a small speck of light in just a moment. Then, this wisp of dust also dissipated, and all the surrounding laws disappeared, as if the scene that had just appeared was just an illusion.

"Hmm? Hey? Why are you back so soon?!"

"Were you unable to find Hou Tu?"

Kai Ming asked in surprise.

Wei Yuan shook his head and said, "I found her."

"Hmm? You found her, but you're back so early?"

Kai Ming was even more puzzled.

He had already found the main person! Given Wei Yuan's relationship with Hou Tu, given this guy's usual style…

Shouldn't he just barge through the world and be done with it? Forget about the consequences, just barge in first! Then he saw Wei Yuan reach out his hand, and the tall and simple Nine Heavens Gate silently shrunk down, eventually transforming into a delicate object the size of a palm, slowly rotating on Wei Yuan's palm. It was more obedient and docile than when it was in Kai Ming's own hands, making Kai Ming feel a pang of jealousy in his heart. His mouth twitched.

Get your priorities straight, Heavenly Gate, he's the one who dismantled you! How can you still be so obedient to him? Kai Ming frantically winked at his magic weapon.

Wei Yuan held the Nine Heavens Gate in his hand and said slowly, "I have basically found her location, but I am not confident yet. After all, I have fallen here once. I have to finish the matters at hand first, and then go to Fuxi to tell him, and also, spar with Yuan Jun."

Wei Yuan was from the past and had experienced many things. Wei Yuan felt that if he sparred with her, he could at least figure out whether he could get away from [finding Hou Tu] unscathed.

Kai Ming opened his mouth, looking at Wei Yuan in front of him, his eyes widened.

It was as if he had seen a dog suddenly stand up and make four dishes and a soup, and then point at his forehead and say, "Zhang San, you're breaking the law, you know?" In short, it was extremely contrary to common sense. Kai Ming blinked, took a sip of the Happy Water in his hand, and confirmed that it tasted like ginger. He said, "That's not right, you, this, how did you become so cautious?"

Wei Yuan said lightly, "Naturally, a scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes."

The truth was that he had fallen once.

Even the fiercest brute would have to carefully detour.

If he lost this game, Jue would become a widow.

Wei Yuan's mouth twitched.

Could he endure this? He couldn't endure this! However, the Primordial Heavenly Lord, the Dao of Karma, was theoretically the hardest to kill. He would probably have a chance to come back alive in a few hundred or thousands of years. Well, karma or something, even if he was beaten into slag, he could rely on the connection between karma, and atoms and atoms, to reassemble into a body.

Kai Ming reluctantly accepted this explanation.

Because he felt that if he dared to refute, he might be beaten up by this increasingly violent Primordial Heavenly Lord.

Alright, alright, you can fight, everything you say is right. Kai Ming took a sip of Happy Water: "Then what do you want to solve?"

Wei Yuan's voice was calm: "Naturally, it is the matter of the Ruins of Return."

"Before I go to find Hou Tu, I must completely eliminate the Lord of the Ruins of Return!"

"Only then can I go with peace of mind."

Even if he was accidentally trapped there for a short time, he could still be slightly at ease.

Although the Lord of the Ruins of Return was also an enemy of the Great Venerable of the World of Turbidity, he had done a lot of things in the past thousands of years in order to step into the level of Dao Fruit. The Four Fiends were his handiwork. Apart from Taotie, who was a mixed bag, the other Four Fiends committed a lot of sins in ancient times.

The Overlord of the Ruins of Return, Kai Ming grinned.

He began to mourn for the Overlord of the Ruins of Return, who was lurking in one place, trying to swallow the world.

Who did you have to provoke, but you provoked this brute?

"However, before that, I have to go to Longhu Mountain. Yuan Jun is there."

"I also have to see Nuwa."

The look on Wei Yuan's face softened. He said, "Her birthday is coming."

"I happened to think of a magic weapon when I was chatting with the Heavenly Emperor that I can give her for self-defense."

At the same time, Fuxi had already brought Wuzhiqi, who had been reborn, to Longhu Mountain.

Looking down at this holy land of Taoism, sensing the existence of those two auras, a look of joy appeared on Fuxi's face. Then he reached out his hand and pressed his chin, coughing, secretly warning himself:

Be reserved, be reserved. Don't be too happy. Calm down, calm down. You can't embarrass A'wa.

Fuxi took a deep breath, grinned, and then the next moment, a wild laughter resounded throughout the holy land of Taoism.

"Ah ha ha ha ha, A'wa, your kind, respectable, and most reliable elder brother is here!"

"Are you happy?"

"Are you happy? Elder brother, I'm here…"

Before the sound could fall, a fierce and grim sound of breaking through the air suddenly exploded, and then roared into the sky.

Geng metal carries baleful energy! A golden spear directly pierced towards Fuxi's forehead!
