Chapter 156 Sendai and Different Gates

The search for the Holy Body Boy ended tragically with heavy losses for all the major powers, resembling a farce.

As the matter subsided, people gradually discovered that both the Holy Body and Qi Zhe had completely disappeared without a trace, and no news of them emerged for a long time.

However, it can be guessed that Qi Zhe has now cultivated to the Ninth Transformation of the Dragon, and is only one step away from the Sendai Secret Realm, so he must be in seclusion.

"When he reappears, he will surely be on par with the older generation," some predicted, feeling that it wouldn't be long before they would see Qi Zhe again.

And that is indeed the case. Qi Zhe is currently in seclusion and is very close to breaking through to the Sendai Secret Realm.

Sendai Secret Realm, as the fifth major secret realm of the Secret Realm Method, has a total of six levels, and each level has nine small steps, making the cultivation difficulty comparable to a major secret realm.

Upon ascending to the first level of the Sendai Heaven, one will begin cultivating and strengthening one's divine consciousness. At this level, one will have the initial ability to control the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, which can be considered a significant achievement in cultivation.

There were quite a few cultivators on the first level of the Eastern Wilderness Immortal Platform, but most of them were stuck on the ninth small step of the first level of the Immortal Platform.

The difficulty of cultivating this realm is not high; anyone who sets foot in it can become a half-step great power. However, it is not easy to surpass it.

After Qi Zhe secluded himself in the village for more than a month, he sensed that he was about to break through and had to leave to undergo the tribulation.

He traveled thousands of miles eastward and found a deserted mountain range, where he began to trigger a celestial calamity, intending to set foot in the secret realm of Sendai.

"Rumble"

A deafening roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, the world changing color in an instant. Terrifying lightning bolts came from the void and fell from the sky in a flash.

This was an immense calamity that covered vast mountain ranges. Lightning bolts as thick as mountains descended from the sky, and lightning of various colors engulfed the heavens and earth.

In this calamity, chaos and yin and yang both appeared, and the power of the five elements permeated the heavens and earth. Large swaths of phantoms emerged from the depths of the sea of ​​thunder, as if the gods had appeared in the world.

"No tribulation or hardship can stop me from attaining enlightenment."

Qi Zhe began his tribulation amidst the roaring sounds, bathed in the boundless sea of ​​lightning, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

His resolve to pursue the Dao is unwavering and cannot be shaken by a mere tribulation. At this moment, nothing and no one can sway him.

Although this is a great tribulation for entering the Sendai Secret Realm, its intensity and scale are far beyond what we have seen before, it is still not enough.

As bolts of lightning from the heavenly tribulation struck Qi Zhe's body, even someone as sturdy as him bled profusely, with wounds constantly appearing.

"Far surpassing the past!" Qi Zhe could sense the intensity of the heavenly tribulation; this kind of tribulation light was beyond the capabilities of ordinary cultivators.

Each bolt of chaotic yin-yang lightning contains the power of the Great Dao, and comes solely to obstruct the Dao. Without a body like his, it would be impossible to pass through.

And this was just the appetizer. In this heavenly tribulation, there were large areas of phantom images, which were not palaces or weapons, but extremely special creatures.

The phantoms were of various shapes and sizes. Some were humanoid creatures with three heads and six arms, while others were tall with wings on their backs and were shrouded in chaotic energy.

At this moment, there were countless such phantoms, at least hundreds. Qi Zhe counted them carefully and found that there were as many as one hundred and eight phantoms.

“The manifestation of ancient imprints!” Qi Zhe said solemnly.

At this moment, he was undergoing tribulation in the sea of ​​lightning, healing his body while observing the strange phantoms deep within the sea of ​​lightning.

He felt that these things were manifestations of ancient imprints, which had become connected to him when they collided with the Great Dao, and could be considered his karmic tribulation.

The mystery of cause and effect is like a thread that wraps around the world, connecting time and space and ancient history. If the cause is disturbed, the consequences will inevitably be chaotic.

He guessed that he had cultivated a Daoist technique that did not belong to this era, which could be considered as setting a cause, and the phantom in the Heavenly Tribulation was a result. "It's a pity that I don't believe in cause and effect." Qi Zhe slowly said, and then moved in the sea of ​​lightning, killing his way to the deepest part of the Heavenly Tribulation.

These phantom images are all marks he touched, and now they have manifested their past forms during the heavenly tribulation, possessing astonishing power.

But Qi Zhe has always been pursuing the path to ultimate strength, and now he doesn't find these phantoms particularly frightening, treating them only as whetstones.

"boom!!!"

As Qi Zhe moved, lightning surged continuously within the heavenly tribulation, and a humanoid phantom suddenly appeared in front of Qi Zhe, unleashing a powerful punch.

At this moment, Qi Zhe did not back down. He threw a powerful punch, shattering the illusory figure in front of him, and shouted, "So what if it's Qi Zhi!"

As Qi Zhe shouted, the phantoms that he had blasted reassembled and joined forces with many other phantoms to attack Qi Zhe.

At this moment, the sea of ​​thunder that had spread for thousands of miles was in an uproar, and countless loud noises began to emanate continuously. Qi Zhe fought against many phantoms all by himself.

This was an unprecedented battle. These phantoms carried the power of heavenly tribulation, and even without any special power, they were terrifying.

"I will not lose!" Qi Zhe shouted.

At this moment, he used all his means, and countless divine gates appeared around his body. From within his sea of ​​consciousness, a Daoist figure holding a Great Dao Treasure Bottle slowly emerged.

He then summoned the Chaos Stone Gate, and the invisible, terrifying force field froze the void, slowing down the movements of these phantoms.

He then swung the stone staff forward, and illusory runes flew out from the many divine gates, then blessed him.

At this moment, Qi Zhe was surrounded by divine light, and his body manifested countless Dao patterns, forming illusory three heads, six arms, wings, and many other supernatural powers.

He was like a war god, his stone staff flying and shattering phantoms, while illusory heads and arms continued to strike, with divine light and wondrous techniques constantly appearing.

At this moment, Qi Zhe gained the upper hand, single-handedly suppressing numerous illusory figures amidst the heavenly tribulation, rendering them utterly unable to resist.

"Pfft!" One after another, the phantom images were shattered by Qi Zhe, making a series of shattering sounds. Even when they were rebuilt, they could not resist Qi Zhe.

Qi Zhe's extraordinary Dao Body was destroyed several times, but he still managed to wield the Great Dao Treasure Bottle and obliterate many illusory figures, refining the bottle once with a heavenly tribulation.

This great battle lasted for most of the day, and although it was nearing its end, it had exhausted Qi Zhe's divine power.

"It's over."

Qi Zhe watched the lightning in the void gradually weaken and sensed that the phantom could no longer draw power from the heavenly tribulation and began to dissipate rapidly.

Qi Zhe has made great progress, officially entering the Sendai realm. His realm and combat power have both risen significantly, making him a prominent figure in the Eastern Wilderness.

Moreover, his weapon had finally come into its own, and intricate Dao patterns had emerged inside the Chaos Stone Gate, about to intertwine with Dao and reason.

Now, Qi Zhe shrank the chaotic stone gate and held it in his palm. Staring at the stone gate, he sighed, "It wasn't easy. Today, we can finally say we've succeeded!"

Although this stone gate is merely Qi Zhe's weapon, it embodies his Dao, and today Qi Zhe has gained some understanding of it and is preparing to formally embark on his path.

At this moment, the heavenly tribulation was about to end. Qi Zhe sat cross-legged in the void, bathed in the last lightning, and illusory doors began to appear around him.

"The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth has a gate, and the physical body has a gate. Now that I have opened the gate of Heaven and Earth, it is time for me to open the gate of the physical body!"

The gate to heaven and earth is in the Dao, and the gate to the flesh is in the blood. Qi Zhe knew that he was not originally a being of this world, so his gate should also be different from others.
