After the perfect opening, I joined the chat group

Chapter 285, Section 294: Arriving at the Imperial Pass, Preparing to Begin the Great Purge
Shi Jian and his companion were not particularly interested in the Heavenly God Academy.

However, they definitely had to go to the Imperial Pass.

Therefore, the two of them eventually boarded the Purple Gold Warship.

The warship pierced through the void and arrived in Zhongzhou.

The gods from the upper realm brought them before the three middle-aged men.

The three middle-aged men were like supreme beings enshrined in a palace, their appearance solemn and dignified, their bodies surrounded by chaotic energy.

These people are quite skilled in cultivation.

"You're connected to that willow tree? Your strength is terrifying!"

The three middle-aged men looked at Shi Jian and his companion with unusual seriousness.

It's unclear whether they valued Liu Shen or Shi Jian and his companion's strength.

"Since you are the descendants of that willow tree, we will not force you to make a decision. Now that a great calamity is about to begin, if you want to go to fight... then go, go to that ancient city!"

"Beyond the three thousand provinces, in the deepest part of the boundless forbidden land..."

A middle-aged man spoke, his face revealing some emotion.

He seemed somewhat pessimistic.

Clearly, the situation in the Imperial Pass is not good.

It's normal when you think about it.

Without the intervention of the Immortal Realm, these people from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths alone are fighting against the immortals from another realm.

What's the difference between that and courting death?
There are countless immortals and immortal kings in that other realm.

The strongest person on the Imperial Pass is only a Supreme Being. How can we compete with that?
It's understandable that this middle-aged man in front of me is pessimistic.

It's already good enough that they didn't give up.

……

After Shi Jian and his companion confirmed their trip to Diguan, the three middle-aged men gave them some time to prepare.

Let them handle things properly in the Three Thousand Provinces.

Shi Jian had nothing to deal with, so he only left a clone of Liu Shen in the Sinful State.

Shi Hao, on the other hand, ran around for several days, and no one knows what he was doing.

A few days later.

As agreed, the two arrived at the no-man's-land.

Ready to step

This ancient road has become widely known thanks to visitors from outside the region.

If we can find that ancient city by following this ancient road.

Even if you pass the level.

When the people in the upper realms learned of this news, they were immediately in an uproar.

Many geniuses were tempted and hoped to go to that city.

However, that road was not easy to travel.

Only the most exceptional genius among geniuses can reach the Imperial Pass via that path…

Strength and opportunity.

Indispensable.

Shi Jian arrived here and looked out over the road.

The mountains along this road are very tall and imposing, dark and majestic.

Many people come to this road.

Yuechan of the Patching Heaven Sect.

The witch of the Heaven-Slaying Cult...

Many people came.

In the Immortal Ancient Era, Shi Jian also killed a large number of people.

Otherwise, there would probably be even more people coming here.

After everyone had arrived, the three supreme beings stood up and then cast a spell to send everyone onto that path...

Many people have dispersed.

Shi Jian stepped into the ancient land. It was very quiet, like a desolate Gobi Desert.

Shi Jian opened his Eye of Domination and cautiously surveyed the scenery. The no-man's-land was dangerous; in such a place, even a drop of water could kill the cult leader.

His chat group's storage space still contains a drop of seven-colored water.

Just like the water droplet in The Three-Body Problem...

There is no friction, so it seems to be able to penetrate everything.

Even in this place, Shi Jian dared not be careless...

However, he wasn't worried.

You might be able to kill the cult leader, but you might not be able to kill him.

not to mention.

He's almost a cult leader now.

Shi Jian has now stepped halfway into the Void Dao realm.

The Void Dao Realm is a state of merging with the Dao. Using the Perfect Seed as a medium, one touches the Great Dao and can comprehend the profound principles of heaven and earth. It is the first time one has fully contacted the Dao, and it even gives the illusion that one has transformed into the Great Dao of heaven and earth, touching the source of the Dao...

Shi Jian is now making his first contact with the Dao.

Under normal circumstances.

A Celestial God realm expert breaks through to the Void Dao realm and comes into contact with the Dao.

It would only take a moment to shiver.

but.

Shi Jian has never followed the usual path...

Perhaps it is because he has cultivated the laws of many worlds.

His shiver lasted a little longer than usual...

He has been in contact with the Dao for a very long time.

This is also why he only ran the All-Heavens Dungeon once and didn't continue.

Whether you're using physical armor or soul-transmigration in dungeons...

All of these will disrupt his current state.

Break his state of contact with the Tao.

To merge with the Tao, to touch the Great Tao, and to comprehend the profound principles of heaven and earth—this is an extremely precious opportunity.

This state may not be comparable to the [100x Comprehension] state of the power of the Heavenly Dao.

But it's not that bad.

Moreover, his current state is completely a free gift.

Naturally, it should last as long as possible.

While a hundredfold increase in comprehension is powerful, it consumes the power of the Heavenly Dao.

The power of Heaven also requires him to spend time running dungeons...

Super beautiful women who cost money and super beautiful women who are free...

Which one is more important?

Shi Jian could still tell the difference.

However, Shi Jian also sensed that he couldn't maintain this state for long.

Because he is about to enter the Void Realm.

The realm of emptiness resonates with heaven and earth.

Normally speaking...

He should have reached the Void Realm a month ago.

However, his resonance lasted a bit too long.

It's been dragged on until now...

Only when the resonance between heaven and earth ends will he be considered a true Void Dao Realm cultivator.

……

The journey was fraught with danger but ultimately safe. Although the road was strange, it was nothing special for Shi Jian.

He doesn't intentionally break any taboos.

Some things on this road were just trouble for him.

after a while.

He arrived in a city.

Along the way, on the plains, there were ancient trees, but they were sparse. The earth was dry and hard, and the view was unobstructed.

A city was built here.

It is very magnificent.

It is majestic and imposing.

However, this place is not yet the Imperial Pass...

It's just a small town in the middle of a desolate battlefield...

come here.

It can only be said that we are getting close to the Imperial Pass.

Shi Jian continued forward, heading towards the final forbidden city.

That is the true location of the imperial city, a magnificent and grand city that suppresses the entire borderland and protects the peace of the nine heavens and ten earths.

This time away.

Even with Shi Jian's cultivation level, it still took him more than half a month to travel there.

In this process.

He had been in danger several times...

There are too many inexplicable things here: the spirits of fallen heroes, the horns that sound like the collapse of heaven and earth...

However, these things were not enough to pose a life-threatening danger to Shi Jian.

On the contrary, he gained some opportunities along the way.

This day.

Shi Jian finally had a premonition. He sensed an indescribable aura permeating the air, which was awe-inspiring and shocking.

At the edge of the earth.

It was as if something was calling to him.

A grand aura seemed to be forming around Shi Jian. He took a deep breath and looked into the distance.

A desolate atmosphere swept over us from the horizon.

The surrounding area was filled with an aura of killing intent, as if countless powerful figures were engaged in a fierce battle...

He saw the city. It was a gray expanse filled entirely with buildings, seemingly connected to the sky and occupying all the space.

The city was unbelievably large.

Even the all-seeing eye of Shi Jian could not see its full picture.

Countless stars surround this city, which has stood there for countless ages without falling.

Shi Jian's aura resonated with the city.

At this moment.

He ended his contact with the Tao.

He finally broke through to the Void Dao realm.

This time.

There were no fancy breakthroughs or extraordinary phenomena.

Only the Way!
"The Imperial Pass?"

Feeling the power surging within me, and sensing the terrifying aura emanating from this city.

Shi Jian smiled.

The closer you get to this city, the more you realize how insignificant you are.

Like ants gazing up at the sky.

They're not even in the same league.

There was an inexplicable pressure, difficult to resist...

It was as if he were being gazed upon by a group of great emperors.

Those who are weaker will likely be crushed if they get close to this city...

Shi Jian knew that this was the true world of Perfect World.

Nether.

Three thousand prefectures.

Those were all just jokes and pranks.

This is the real stage!

Without a doubt, Shi Jian was the first person from the Three Thousand Provinces to arrive here.

As he ascended the city gate, a divine voice echoed from the void, and a middle-aged supreme being whom he had previously met in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces appeared before Shi Jian…

"You came?"

The middle-aged man looked Shi Jian up and down, seemingly surprised that he had arrived so quickly.

And more importantly.

The aura emanating from Shi Jian seemed even more terrifying.

It made him feel a subtle threat.

"You broke through so quickly? To the Void Dao Realm?"

His emotions were somewhat fluctuating.

"The great war is about to begin, and that day will inevitably come... If one day the Imperial Pass falls, I hope you will join the battle as a hero, or retreat to another place, instead of letting wolves into the house... and turning around to slaughter your own kind!"

The middle-aged man said something extra, and clearly, he was somewhat surprised...

When we last met, Shi Jian was in a state of harmony with the Dao.

Under those circumstances.

This middle-aged man couldn't see through him at all.

At that time, the middle-aged supreme master did not investigate further, only assuming it was due to the Willow Goddess...

However, Shi Jian has now broken through, and he has no intention of pretending to be weak while actually being strong, so he has not concealed his aura.

The middle-aged sage easily discerned his strength.

The Realm of Emptiness!

The battle where Shi Jian emerged from the Immortal Ancient City was one that even middle-aged people had seen.

Those at the Heavenly God realm can fight and slay me.

now.

He has reached the realm of solid emptiness.

So what would his combat strength be like?

Escape to Oneness?

Is he still able to fight the Supreme Being?
I dare not even dream of reaching middle age and old age.

He no longer treated Shi Jian like a junior.

He already seemed to regard Shi Jian as a peer.

A great calamity is about to begin.

A person like Shi Jian suddenly appeared out of nowhere...

This is the opportunity in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

However, if such a person were to seek refuge in a foreign land, it would be a huge disaster.

That's why he said those things.

Shi Jian did not answer the Middle-Aged Supreme's question. The Middle-Aged Supreme sighed and said again, "When the apocalypse comes, many people only think about surviving... It's not surprising that all sorts of people will appear, even... immortals... I just hope you will guard your true heart and not become a sinner..."

Shi Jian nodded this time.

"Come with me into the city... People from the Three Thousand Provinces originally had to pass an examination to join the Heavenly God Academy... It's the same in other places, but with your strength, none of that matters to you!"

The middle-aged emperor spoke again, and without waiting for the others, he led Shi Jian directly into the imperial city.

This city is very large.

The outside world cannot see inside, so they don't know how many masters are here, or whether there are any ancient beings still alive here.

Shi Jian stepped directly into this place.

There are many tall and magnificent buildings here, and even stars with diameters of tens of thousands of miles on the ground.

These stars were all cut down from beyond the realm.

There is an invisible, majestic atmosphere throughout the city.

Within the city walls.

It wasn't very lively; in fact, it could be described as quite desolate.

Only some people sit here cross-legged; some sit cross-legged on the bluestone, and some sit cross-legged on the big star.

They all looked like they had passed away peacefully.

There was not a trace of life.

They were covered in a thick layer of dust... as if they hadn't moved for tens of thousands of years.

"Maintaining a cross-dimensional teleportation array requires a lot of rare and precious materials. You should cultivate first and wait for the other selected people to arrive... Then you can go to the Heavenly God Academy!"

After the middle-aged man led Shi Jian into the city, he spoke.

Shi Jian nodded, then asked, "Where are the Shi Clan people?"

The middle-aged sage frowned upon hearing this. He had investigated Shi Jian and naturally knew his identity: "The Shi Clan... they are not having an easy time in this Upper Realm... you'd better not have too much contact with them right now."

The status of a middle-aged man who has reached the highest level is not low.

Therefore, he knows a lot of things.

but.

Know it and know it.

At the Imperial Pass.

Targeting the Stone Clan has become a politically correct stance.

If you don't target them, it makes you seem like you're not fitting in.

Why did the people of Sanqiandao Prefecture target the Stone Clan in that way?
Besides the Demon Dragon Dao Sect and the Immortal Palace and other forces.

The others.

They don't even know what wrong the sinners committed...

Purely just following the trend.

Or rather...

It has become a custom.

This is a custom, originating from the Imperial Pass...

Imperial Pass, Nine Heavens and Ten Earths...

There is no place that is not targeted at the Stone Clan.

The middle-aged emperor recognized Shi Jian's talent and understood his feelings.

However, he did not want to see Shi Jian and the Shi Clan have too much involvement.

The water here.

Very deep.

It is so profound that even the most powerful beings cannot grasp it.

Making the Stone Clan ordinary is no easy task.

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian remained calm: "Just tell me where they are... You want me to stay true to myself and not become a sinner? Have the people of Diguan stayed true to themselves?"

"The Seven Kings of the Borderlands are still fighting... but their descendants have become sinners. Who is the real sinner?"

When Shi Jian arrived at Diguan, he was ready to begin the purge.

He knew that within that ancient imperial pass, there were still people holding it up...

The current Imperial Pass was established later...

That ancient imperial pass blocked ninety percent of the pressure from the foreign lands.

But they were abandoned.

If we give it up, so be it.

They were prepared to sacrifice themselves, and they are still fighting today.

But their descendants are treated this way.

Shi Jian doesn't care about political correctness; he wants to bring back the original imperial capital and then carry out a major purge.

Oh shit.

The land conquered by the Seven Kings of the Borderlands will still have to shed blood and tears for their descendants.
What the hell kind of logic is this?
What was it like before?

Shi Jian ignored it.

Now that he's here, we must do things according to his reasoning...

The remnant immortal has not appeared!

He is the king of the Imperial Pass.

Shi Jian wasn't sure if the Void Dao Realm was a match for the Supreme Being.

but.

Did he invite a god to possess him?
