Chapter 963 - 963 209 Heavenly Gate

963: Chapter 209 Heavenly Gate 963: Chapter 209 Heavenly Gate Gu Huaixin was indeed a True Man of the Age, with countless disciples.Why was he so optimistic about Ji Shaoqing, even considering him worthy of inheriting his mantle?

The Lou Family of the Diao Hai Building had a grand enterprise, and it was not that there were no cultivators who could master two Divine Skills, but why could Ji Shaoqing be called the pride of Qi Country?

Why did Ji Shaoqing dare to retaliate against Jiang Wang so recklessly—retaliate against one who had killed Granny Bizhu and slain over a hundred members of the Commander-level Sea Clan?

It was because of the Heavenly Gate Power!

The so-called Heavenly Gate, the gate of heaven.

This fearsome Divine Skill had two ways of activation.

When it opened from top to bottom, it created a no-fly effect, forbidding the opponent from flying.

It was as if the door to ascend to heaven had been sealed for the opponent.

You see, after a Transcendent Cultivator’s Dao Veins reached Teng Long, they obtained the ability to fly with their flesh body.

Afterward, all their battles unfolded by soaring into the sky and burrowing into the earth.

Once flight was forbidden, it was almost like a common man losing his legs.

When it opened from bottom to top, it could briefly breach a minor realm!

Of course, it had its limits; it could not break through major realms.

For instance, during the Five Mansions, it couldn’t leap to the Outer Building.

But it was already terrifying.

This ability became stronger later on.

Opening the Heavenly Gate during the Inner Mansion could grant one an extra mansion’s worth of strength over the opponent, and in the Outer Building, an extra building’s strength.

What about during God Arrives or even as a True Man?

The Heavenly Gate itself was already a top-notch Divine Skill, but it had an even more terrifying future.

In ancient records, there was another Divine Skill known as the “Earth Gate.”

The Earth Gate, the gate of earth.

When it opened from bottom to top, it forbid the deployment of God Soul Techniques.

When it opened from top to bottom, it drained the opponent’s Dao Origin!

The strength of these two effects need not be further explained.

The most terrifying aspect was—

When the powers of the Heavenly Gate and the Earth Gate combined, they could form one of the absolute summit Divine Skills, “Heaven and Earth Gate”!

It could even be completely understood as the door of heaven and earth that a Heavenly-Reaching Cultivator needs to push open when ascending to Teng Long Realm, because the Heaven and Earth Gate Divine Skill indeed could, to a certain extent…

forbid the Transcendent!

It was equivalent to closing the door of heaven and earth that you had struggled to push open while ascending to Teng Long Realm!

However, the Heavenly Gate Power was already a rarity in the world, and the Earth Gate Power had only sparse records in history.

Ji Shaoqing had been exploring the Fifth Mansion for a long time, chasing the legendary Earth Gate Power.

If he truly found it, he would instantly become the number one prodigy of the Diao Hai Building.

Even Chen Zhitao would have to bow his head unless he could maintain an absolute lead in realms.

Regrettably, Ji Shaoqing had already touched the threshold of the Outer Building Realm, capable of interacting with the Star Vault, but the legendary Earth Gate Power still cast no shadow, almost severing the possibility of achieving the Heaven and Earth Gate Power.

But just the Heavenly Gate Power alone was enough for him to be called the pride of the country!

Do we need to say more about the strength of this Divine Skill?

What kind of person was Jiang Wang, and how terrifying were his combat talents shown during battles?

Just as he was finally clawing out from a dangerous situation to gain the upper hand, during the display of his fierce demeanor, like a bird with broken wings, he helplessly plummeted in front of Ji Shaoqing.

This scene was too shocking.

Many people knew that Ji Shaoqing had obtained two Divine Power Seeds, but very few had actually seen these two Divine Skills in action.

One being the First Quarter Moon, already considered powerful.

But this Heavenly Gate Power, once unleashed, made almost everyone despair!

Forbidding flight might not seem too terrifying at first glance, but those truly skilled in combat understand what a huge disadvantage this is.

Being forbidden from flying means that your maneuvering space is greatly locked down, confined to the ground.

In a clash of the strong, it’s almost as if…

you’ve already lost your space to dodge.

Because the possibilities are so few, every step you take could be predicted and countered.

A Heavenly-Reaching Cultivator wanting to challenge an Ascending Dragon Realm Cultivator would often rely on ambushes, approaching the opponent before they have ascended, or luring the opponent to drop their form.

This is because the disparity between being able to fly and not being able to fly, in battle, is indeed too great.

Cultivators from Diao Hai Building outside the arena were indeed excited, while Jiang Wang’s friends were nervous.

In the crowd, someone transmitted a message asking, “That door is…”

The person asking the question wore a cloak and a black robe, shrouding their entire presence in mystery.

Next to him, another similarly dressed person replied, “Heavenly Gate.”

It was a woman’s voice, chilling to the bone.

“I see…” the first person nodded, then suddenly said, “Let’s go.”

“Not watching anymore?” the cold female voice asked, “You specifically came here, just to watch this briefly?”

“Watching more is meaningless, regardless of the result, this battle isn’t something we can intervene in.

Thus, having the opportunity to hear about the outcome later is enough,” the man’s voice transmitted, seamlessly withdrawing from the crowd.

This chilling voice seemed to lack curiosity, yet she was indeed curious and so she asked, “Meaning if you could intervene, you would actually want to help him?

You don’t seem the type to care about such relationships.”

“Helping him would be worth it,” the man replied curtly.

The two then silently left the place.

Silent in their arrival, silent in their departure.

Meanwhile, on the End of the World Platform, Ji Shaoqing unleashed the power of the Heavenly Gate, instantly suppressing Jiang Wang so much that he fell close in front of him.

There was no reason for him not to pursue his victory; he immediately raised a finger, pointing to the sky.

The first quarter moon was influenced again.

Just as the endless Arrow of the Moon was about to be released, Jiang Wang abruptly moved!

Beneath his feet, the Qingyun Mark flashed and disappeared; his falling body suddenly stopped, rushing back up even closer than before!

Everyone, including Ji Shaoqing himself, was stunned.

Jiang Wang was actually unaffected by the Heavenly Gate’s no-fly effect!

The no-fly effect of the Heavenly Gate Power was tantamount to pulling back the step of a cultivator breaking through the Heaven and Earth Gate, retracting the ability to fly physically, and forbidding Dao Technique flight.

However, Walk in the Sky, which relies neither on physical floating nor on common Dao Techniques, belongs to a unique Immortal Technique System from the era when the Nine Great Immortal Palaces dominated; it relies on Technique Introducers!

Perhaps if the Heavenly Gate Power was developed to a more profound realm, it might lock down all possibilities of flight, but at least at Ji Shaoqing’s current level, he could not suppress the Technique Introducer as well.

To put it simply, breaking both legs would prevent running, but it doesn’t stop one from riding a horse at full speed.

The Technique Introducer is like that horse, carrying the “legless” Jiang Wang in flight, and thus not subject to the current Heavenly Gate Power’s prohibition.

Jiang Wang immediately felt the effects of the Heavenly Gate Power, but did not resist and instead used the opportunity to fall.

Because, a Divine Power like “Heavenly Gate” is undoubtedly the caster’s trump card, meant to be decisive.

Ji Shaoqing must have great confidence in it.

His falling was to let Ji Shaoqing confirm the effect of his Divine Skills, to hold the sensation of having the upper hand, prompting him to attack rather than defend.

Astray Path could have achieved this purpose more simply; however, in this highly scrutinized moment, he did not want to reveal Astray Path.

Because once a Divine Power like Astray Path is exposed, it loses its most terrifying property.

Even if the execution of Astray Path is traceless, it’s uncertain if someone could see it clearly.

However, through his own “performance” in the battle, he caused Ji Shaoqing to miscalculate.

Without using Astray Path, he also gained the benefits of Astray Path!
