Poison God's Heritage Chapter 567 Gate

Chapter 567 Gate

Exhausted was one of the words I could describe my current self.
But never the less, I never would have expected that two against one would be this… pleasurable.
After all, they both wanted to one another and I ended up gaining the most.
Waking up with two ladies, one in each arm is something to brag about that's for sure. But we have more important things to do.
"We need to get moving," I said.
The two of them seemed to oppose the idea at first, wanting to snuggle even more, but we really had to go.
"People are waiting for us to leave," I reminded them.
Dao Shen and Zhang Tian are probably both anxiously waiting for our arrival, all of us need to leave at the same time to the gate of the beyond.
Soon, the two got up and dressed, which to my eyes was a feast and joy to enjoy.
I wanted to stay a bit longer contradicting my very own words, but we really had to go.
Soon we got out, and just as I went outside more eyes looked at us, some were respectful some were outright envious, those I could understand since I had the two academy's beauties all to myself.
Little Cabbage was waiting outside comfortably seated and enjoying a variety of spiritual ingredients that he was eating.
I suppose the heavenly academy spared no expenses when it came to feeding the Thunder Bull, some of the ingredients would make for potent and powerful pills, and the bull was casually munching on them as if they were carrots.
Using my Divine Sense, I found the location of Dao Shen and Zhang Tian both high above the Heavenly Academy.
"let's go," I said to Yuyu and Liang Yu.
The two of them rode behind me on the Thunder Bull chariot and we lifted off.
I noticed many eyes on us, among them eyes from the top of the tower. Master Rain, the Queen, and the king of the wind realm, are all looking at us, bidding us farewell.
As we arrived to meet the group I found a couple more people with them. Lin De, the daughter of the Earth King, and Yao Hua, the Demon Sect's sect leader. Yet those weren't the only people that came. A bit far away and probably out of respect to the two mighty cultivators such as Dao Shen and Zhang Tian a group of cultivators were sitting waiting for the opening of the Beyond.
I assumed that since it's a new world, with new opportunities a lot of people would want to venture out into it. But I didn't care enough so I ignored them and turned to my companions.
"What are you guys doing here?" I asked.
"I'm here on behalf of my father," said Lin De, he told me to thank you for your assistance in the fight against the Fire Lord. He couldn't come personally because he is still recovering from his wounds.
"You don't need to worry about that, I hope your father is doing well," then I turned to Yao Hua, "And you? What brings you so far?"
"Is that all you have to say to me, we haven't seen each other in ages…"
"…"
I couldn't answer, not because I didn't want to, or didn't find the words, but because of the scalding stares I was feeling on the back of my head.
"I should be thinking you for assisting us in the fight against the Fire Lord, sadly I had to go and manage some problems with the keys and didn't have the opportunity to talk with you more," I said as I tried to dodge the issue as much as I could.
"Who is this?" Liang Yu asked.
Before I could even answer, Yao Hua replied in my stead, "I'm his mistress," she said smugly.
'How can you even say those words without an ounce of shame! Woman you're gonna be the end of me!'
"I heard that you'll be going to the Beyond, I also want to join in," she said.
"There isn't enough space!" said Liang Yu.
Yuyu then added, "Yes, there isn't enough to share," she said.
"Who said anything about sharing?" Liang Yu said.
Zhang Tian and Dao Shen were holding their laughter as much as they could as they saw the three of them bickering among each other for possession of my poor ol self.
"ANYWAYS!" I said interrupting the conversation before things got more awkward.
?οm
"The gate! We need to go," I said as I pointed up.
The gate had manifested near the Heavenly Academy, it was absurdly huge, and one could barely see its end.
"Do you know how to open it?" asked Zhang Tian.
"I have no idea," I said and thanked Zhang Tian inwardly for switching the subject.
"But let's get closer and see," I said and our group headed toward the gate minus Lin who only came to relay her father's words.
Once we arrived at the gate I pulled out the five keys, trying to figure out how to use them, but the keys instantly reacted and flew out of my hand. Spreading into five directions each seemed to fly forward and grow in size.
At one point each key turned to the size of a gigantic mountain and implanted itself on the gate.
The gate seemed to split in the middle opening like a double door slowly and surely revealing its inside.
The inside of the gate was a swirling mass of darkness that seemed to be willing to consume any and all that would come even close to it, yet none of that darkness seeped outwardly.
And soon, two stone-made puppets came out, they were big enough that their size reached half the length of the gate. And they each had a spear in hand.
The power they emanated was beyond belief, and I could feel it, it was nearly comparable to the Primordial Serpent God, no it was probably more.
These two puppets, if they wanted could destroy the entirety of the vast expanse and no one could stop them.
One of the puppets moved and stood at one side of the gate while the other looked at us and approached us.
"Who opened the gate?" asked the Puppet.
Since there was no hostility in their words, I replied, "I did."
"Do you wish to cross?" he asked.
"Yes." 'Is there a condition to cross?'
His eyes then shone bright and scanned me from head to toe.
"Bone age two hundred and eighty. Cultivation Level, the third stage of Emperor Rank. Possibility of death crossing… thirty percent, admission…possible. You may proceed," he said.
"I also wish to cross," said Dao Shen.
The Puppet looked at Dao Shen, scanned him, and said, "Bone Age two thousand and three hundred years, Cultivation Level, second stage of the Emperor Rank, possibility of Death Crossing forty percent… Admission, is questionable, You may proceed on your own risk…"
The two of us were admitted, then Zhang Tian's turn came.
"Bone age, three thousand five hundred years, cultivation level, Sixth Stage of the Emperor Rank, Possibility of Death Crossing, 10%, Admission… commendable, you may proceed," he said.
"Wait so that means that we can't go? If even emperor ranks have such low odds and dangerous survival rate…" Liang Yu said.
I sighed and was about to speak before Yuyu said, "Don't… I'm almost at the King Rank, you should go… I'll grow stronger and follow after you," she said.
Liang Yu sighed as she realized the danger of moving through the gate. "If I had known that there was such a condition I would have tried to keep you away, but I can't stop you now that you're here."
Yao Hua could do nothing but sigh a sigh full of sorrow and regret.
Hearing the two puppet's words caused some sort of reaction from the loose cultivators at the back. Some of them rushed forward trying to bypass the guards but were instantly halted by a barrier that seemed to appear out of nowhere.
It was surrounding the gate and the puppets inside it, the barrier extended enough to separate me, Zhang Tian and Dao Shen from the rest of our group. Keeping us in, while the rest were out.
"What? But we're going with them, why are you stopping us?!" one of the people that were waiting for the opportunity to leave through the beyond said.
The puppet didn't care to explain and placed his hand inside the portal, grabbing a whip of the darkness that was swirling inside the gate and pulled it out.
It looked like a hair wroth of dark material that made the gate and then he presented it to the cultivators.
"If you can support this, then I shall allow you in," the puppet said.
The wisp hovered in space calmly, it didn't look like it would do anything, and one 'brave' cultivator went up to it and grabbed it, "See, I can…"
He didn't get to finish his words before his entire arm turned to ash.
There was no pain in his eyes, no suffering and no reaction as he perished almost instantly.
"It is not out of discrimination that we stop you, it is only for your own survival and safety, crossing such a vast distance needs a powerful body or a great cultivation, and you have neither. The Wisest Sun ordered us to only allow those who can and have the ability to cross. If you do not satisfy the condition to move forward, do not even bother coming here, we shall guard this gate until the end of times," said the puppet and went back to the gate.
Many cultivators debated between moving despite the warning, but the wisp remained there as a testament to the dangers of the Beyond.
