Chapter 577 Behind the Door [Part 3]

in situ.

As soon as Hu Qi finished speaking, the air around the entire Jade Platform seemed to freeze.

All the Dao Lords felt a chill run down their spines, and none of them spoke. Their gazes were all focused on Hu Qi, with a hint of fear in their eyes.

The scene of Gong Shu, the Dao Master of the Dao Realm, being casually swallowed was still vivid in my mind.

A Dao Lord-level expert was wiped out like an ant with a flick of the wrist. How could they not be afraid?
Hu Qi took in everyone's expressions, smiled slightly, and said calmly:
"The first thing, as you have probably guessed, is that I have temporarily resolved the calamity of the source."

With a flick of his sleeve, a miniature, dark gold gate appeared out of thin air, standing majestically in the center of the jade platform. A hazy halo flowed over the gate, emanating a vast and powerful aura and pressure.

"The Gate of True Spirits!"

All the Dao Masters present became solemn, for they had all engraved their true names on this gate and were connected to it by their aura.

Naturally, one could recognize it at a glance.

Seeing the Gate of True Spirits regain its brilliance and the black, foul aura that had been corrupted by the Source Calamity disappear, many people felt a sense of relief.

However, no one was completely at ease.

Because they noticed what Hugh had said.

It's temporary, not permanent.
-
Think of this.

One of the people standing nearby spoke up.

"I wonder what you mean by 'temporary'?"

The young man was dressed in a blue robe, with an ordinary face, and a purple spider quietly rested on his shoulder.

Although his appearance was unfamiliar, Hu Qi was all too familiar with the mental fluctuations emanating from him.

It was Huo Yao who led him into the Boundary Tower back then.

I wonder what happened to him?
He had been given a different body, but his aura was weak, indicating that his injuries had not yet healed.

As someone who is only at the Spirit Earth Realm, he is the weakest among all the Dao Lords.

Surviving the onslaught of void creatures was not just a matter of luck, but came at a considerable cost.

At this moment, Huo Yao stood in front of Hu Qi, his posture already showing some respect.

He dropped the previous "Hu" character and simply called him "fellow Daoist".

The two are no longer on the same level.

This change in status stirred up some complex emotions in Huo Yao's heart.

Hu Qi didn't care about the other person's complicated feelings.

Once a company gains significant strength, old relationships often become distant, which is inevitable.

Like caterpillars and butterflies, they once crawled among the branches and leaves, and were considered to be on the same path.

But once one of them breaks free from its cocoon and takes flight, it becomes difficult for the two to return to the days when they crawled side by side.

Hu Qi had already understood this principle.

He didn't take it to heart.

Instead, he spoke calmly.

"The reason why this state is said to be temporary is because the source of the disaster itself cannot be completely eradicated."

The root of the calamity always lies within the Gate of the True Spirit.

Unless the Gate of True Spirits can be completely sealed…

Hu Qi then gave a general account of the current situation.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions gradually became extremely solemn.

Finally, everyone turned their attention to the gap between the two doors of the Gate of True Spirits.

Through the gap, one could vaguely see several thin, hair-like black threads clinging to the outside of the door.

Because it is so delicate, and because of the interlacing raised patterns on the door, it is obscured.

It is almost impossible to detect unless you look closely.

This situation is undoubtedly despairing.

The source of the calamity comes from within the Gate of the True Spirit.

Only by sealing the gate to the true spirit can this be achieved.

But this is simply impossible.

The Gate of True Spirits is like the source of a great river.

The Dao Lord, and indeed all living beings in the Origin Realm, are like the creatures that dwell within this riverbed.

If one day this source is sealed or blocked, the river will gradually dry up.

At that time, all living beings that depend on this place, whether they are highly cultivated or mere ants, will be subject to the law.

The final outcome is that all living beings within it lose the nourishment of their spirit, becoming like fish out of water or trees with broken roots, ultimately their spirits dissipate and their bodies turn to dust.

"You all don't need to worry too much. Although the problem of the Origin Disaster has not been completely resolved, it will not threaten the Origin Realm for at least ten epochs."

Hu Qi's voice rang out.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for everything you have done for the Spirit Realm!!"

As soon as Wan Gu spoke, he bowed to Hu Qi first.

The same applies to the other Dao Lords.

Hu Qi's actions can be described as seizing the power of nature and saving countless lives.

Ten eras, billions of years.

Even for immortal Dao Lords and True Gods, this time is definitely not short.

With this person present, even if the Source Disaster reappears, it should be able to be resolved.

However, this idea had only been around for a short time.

Hu Qi's voice continued to ring out.

"As for the second matter, I will leave this place, or more precisely, this dimension, after a period of time!"

Hear this.

Everyone's expression changed.

The resurrection of the spirit world is all the work of Hu Qi alone.

If it weren't for the other side, they would probably still be hiding somewhere, barely clinging to life.

Although there shouldn't be any major problems within ten eras.

But as an immortal being.

No matter how long it takes, this day will eventually come.

If it weren't for Hu Qi.

Even if everyone breaks through to the Dao Fruit realm, and the number of Dao Lords increases several times over, it probably won't change anything.

"You don't need to worry too much. Before I leave, I will wipe out all the void creatures. Even if the Source Calamity breaks out, with your strength, it won't be difficult to stop it."

Hu Qi seemed to notice the expressions on the faces of these Dao Lords and spoke up.

This isn't exactly comforting.

While the threat of the source invasion itself certainly exists, its spread is more akin to a slow, insidious erosion, and it will not cause a devastating blow in an instant.

What truly matters are the void creatures born from the convergence of the Source Cataclysm and the Void Sea.

They view all living beings as prey and food.

Once they appear, they will indiscriminately slaughter and cause serious damage.

Without powerful void creatures, this dimension can withstand the attack for longer.

Although new void creatures will continue to be created afterward.

However, this move will undoubtedly greatly delay the process.

If handled properly, it is not impossible to continue resisting indefinitely.

Wan Gu Yi on one side seemed unsurprised by this, as if he had expected it.

He looked at Hu Qi, his eyes shining.

"Fellow Daoist, do you perhaps wish to embark on the path of transcendence?!"

Hu Qi nodded, admitting it directly.

"Indeed! I wonder how much Fellow Daoist Wan knows about this matter of transcendence?"

Wan Gu Yi is an existence whose lifespan is unknown.

Knowing about transcendence is not a strange thing.

Wan Gu frowned slightly and shook his head gently.

"That road is not easy to travel, and I have very limited information about it."

It is said that one might be able to reach a higher dimension through the Gate of True Spirit.

But whether it's true or not, I can't be sure. However, throughout history, many Daoists have embarked on this path, yet none have ever truly succeeded.

In the end, a sigh escaped Wan Gu Yi's lips.

It was a sense of bewilderment arising from the uncertainty of the future and the lack of clear direction.

Hu Qi had it before.

But now he has a new goal.

He had originally thought that Wan Gu Yi might know something else.

It now appears that although the other party knows some information, it is very limited and far less clear than what Takashi knows.

But this is normal.

If everything Takashi said is true.

The existence of this dimension in the real world is like a swaying bubble that could burst at any moment.

So how could the creatures inside, no matter how powerful, possibly know what kind of world lies outside those bubbles?
Like a frog at the bottom of a well, its eyes are only on the small patch of sky at the well's opening.

They never realized that the outside world was far more vast than they imagined.

As for the fact that no one can succeed, that's perfectly normal. Without genuine qualities, no matter how strong one is, it's useless.

Entering reality, it's like a bubble, bursting at the slightest touch. Regarding this point...

Hu Qi did not elaborate.

Even if you speak up, there will be no solution; it will only add to your despair.

Since that's the case, let's leave a glimmer of hope.

Not all Dao Lords knew about transcendence. The other Dao Lords, upon hearing what the two said, all had different expressions, not expecting such a secret to exist.

"Before that, there is one more thing I need your help with!"

Hu Qi spoke gently.

"Fellow Daoist, please speak freely. If there is anything we can do to help, I will do my best."

The one who spoke was an old woman with a gray robe, deep-set eyes, a high nose, and a gaunt face.

Her eyes were deep and unfathomable, and a cold, austere air hung between her brows. In her withered hand she held a black staff, the top of which was inlaid with a crystal that faintly seemed to emanate the aura of destiny.

This person is none other than the Lord of Destiny, who holds the reins of the Great Dao of Destiny.

Hu Qi was no stranger to the concept of fate.

The spirit creature named Zhiming that he killed in the Cangyuan Realm before.

The other party possesses the ability to manipulate fate, making them truly unpredictable.

It can manipulate the fate of all living beings in the world, making someone fall in love with someone, or hate someone.

Furthermore, they will only assume that all their actions are what they think, without ever realizing it themselves.

The Lord of Destiny before us is also someone who walks this path.

The only difference is that, compared to that Weaver of Fate, the Lord of Fate before them is far more powerful.

Like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.

However, at this moment.

The Lord of Fate, who could manipulate destiny as a plaything, looked toward Hu Qi, but his eyes were filled with only a blurry haze.

She had a premonition that if she forced herself to look, she would suffer a terrible backlash.

Her words of agreement at this moment were merely an attempt to gain some favor with Hu Qi.

This is her way of survival.

Since it's impossible to refuse anyway, speaking up first can earn you goodwill, so why not?

Seeing this, the others did not hesitate at all, indicating that they would do their best as long as Hu Qi asked.

"It's nothing, just a small matter!"

Hu Qi slowly swept his gaze over everyone present and said:

"Fellow Daoists, you only need to demonstrate the Great Dao that you have comprehended."

Before he finished speaking, a golden cloud pattern suddenly appeared on his forehead.

The moment the Eye of Truth appeared, all the Dao Lords felt a tremor originating from the depths of their souls.

The feeling was like a mortal facing the eyes of the heavens, feeling small and powerless, unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

However, revealing one's own path is not a problem in itself.

In some ways, this can also be considered a form of discussion and exchange between each other.

Now, Hu Qi has spoken out himself.

Without much hesitation, everyone revealed the Great Dao they wielded.

The Great Way of Time, the Great Way of Cause and Effect, the Great Way of Truth, the Great Way of Painting...

As Dao Masters, their understanding and mastery of the Great Dao far surpasses that of true gods.

Although his strength is not as good as Hu Qi's.

However, everyone has a unique understanding of their own path.

Hu Qi analyzed and absorbed all of these.

It has become the resources for my own growth.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Eye of Truth.

In just a short time, one can absorb all external information and quickly become stronger.

half an hour.

The golden cloud pattern on Hu Qi's forehead disappeared.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. Even with his current level of understanding, he still felt he had benefited greatly after analyzing these great principles one by one.

After getting what you want.

Hu Qi then made an excuse that he had other things to attend to and asked everyone to leave first. Before leaving, he offered to give them a gift in return for showing them the Great Dao.

Hu Qi took action and healed all the injuries on the Dao Lords.

This tactic startled the other Dao Lords, excluding Wan Gu Yi and the other two.

I felt that Hu Qi was becoming increasingly unfathomable.

They could even heal Dao injuries that would normally take them a long time to heal with ease.

……

Wait until everyone has left.

Hu Qi's heart skipped a beat.

The Crimson Panel was brought to the fore.

Ignore the densely packed handwriting on it.

My gaze fell directly on the modified value column.

-

[Modified value: 97918784 (51%)]

At this moment, after absorbing the Palace Technique and numerous Void Royals comparable to Dao Lords.

The modified value reached an unprecedented level of over 90 million.

This is only because Takashi didn't kill him; if he had, the number would probably have immediately broken the 100 million mark.

Look at this line of modified values.

Hu Qi spoke directly.

"Crimson! Modify and deduce a secret technique that can steal true attributes!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scarlet panel did not react at all.

See this scene.

Hu Qi frowned slightly.

"Is it not working?! Or is the modification value insufficient?"

In this case.

He had anticipated this.

He had tried it before, and it was the same.

However, he knew that this kind of deduction and modification, apart from the modified value, was still based on itself.

The more you know, the fewer modifications you need.

I originally thought that analyzing the nine Dao Lords would satisfy the modification requirements.

In retrospect, he was being too presumptuous.

However, Hu Qi was not too disappointed by this.

Since that didn't work, he decided to harvest some more modified values.

It can also be used to repair the Black Spirit Banner.

Think of this.

Hu Qi moved swiftly, like a phantom shattering the void, and in an instant stepped out of the Boundary Tower.

It appeared in the vast void.

The Void Sea was still shrouded in mist, vast and boundless, but the primordial calamity mist that had shrouded it for eternity was much thinner than before.

Hu Qi's eyes flashed like lightning, piercing through layers of mist and revealing countless void creatures lurking deep within.

Their shapes are bizarre, grotesque, and twisted, and they roam among them.

However, due to the continuous shrinking of the Source Disaster Mist, coupled with the disappearance of Ryuji, the King of the Void.

The deaths of numerous Void Royals caused some unrest among these Void creatures.

See this scene.

Hu Qi indifferently raised his hand, and the black spirit banner appeared, rising in the wind.

Hu Qi's current strength, enabling him to wield this black banner, is completely different from what he did before.

Once activated.

The banners fluttered in the wind, like clouds hanging from the sky, spreading out in all directions.

A wisp of incomplete true pattern emanates from the flag.

Though it is only a single strand.

But it is extremely terrifying.

As the true patterns flowed, the entire boundless void sea suddenly trembled violently.

The countless void creatures hidden in the mist were instantly frozen in place.

His eyes, gleaming with a fierce light, shone with an instinctive fear, and he trembled all over.

Even the remaining members of the Void Royal Family, whose strength was comparable to that of a Dao Lord, felt a sense of impending doom.

Everyone involuntarily looked up.

hum!
at this time.

A glimmer of light appeared above the Void Sea.
