Leaping over the Celestial Gate

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

This kind of hunger was not fatal, but it would not go away, and he would always feel uncomfortable.

Now, a large amount of mystical power was endlessly filling into the dimensions inside his body, naturally making Ling Han feel like he was finally going to eat something.

The Cleansing Pool had only opened after waiting for more than 2000 years. Just how powerful was its accumulation?

Ling Han remained calm and collected, silently making a fortune.

A day passed, and seven of Ling Han’s dimensions had been filled up. During this period of time, he had also used the power of the Cleansing Pool to connect to all the dimensions in his body.

This was a small matter. He only needed to pull the strings, and there was no need to open up a space.

However, Ling Han was also unable to absorb the slightest bit of energy. It was very simple. The energy in the Cleansing Pool had already been exhausted.

This was too terrifying. It had only been a little over a day, and the Cleansing Pool had already dried up?

The other nine stood up in confusion. What was going on here? Wasn’t it agreed that they could cultivate here for three days? It hadn’t even been a day and a half yet.

“What’s going on?”

“Why can’t I absorb any energy?”

“Me too.”

“The same.”

The nine of them all wore blank expressions. Ling Han also stood up, joining the ranks of “I’m also very confused”.

None of them were willing to give up, and continued to sit in the pool waters, waiting for the Cleansing Pool to glow with a “second spring”, but no matter how much they waited, the pool waters were the same. There was no more energy supply.

Three days had passed, and the chief eunuch, Zhu Qi, appeared, leading everyone out.

Everyone hurriedly asked about the situation, but Zhu Qi had never entered the Cleansing Pool before, so he naturally couldn’t answer. He only said that he would report this to His Majesty.

After returning to the Foreign Affairs Department, Ling Han began his final preparations. He was going to leap over the Celestial Gate and step onto the Celestial Path.

Ling Han gave himself three days to examine himself again. After taking this step, he would have left the mortal level and in the future, and it would be impossible for him to make up for the shortcomings of the mortal level.

Of course, if he could obtain the Saintly medicine, he would be able to compensate a little, but Saintly medicine? Heh.

Three days passed, and Ling Han no longer hesitated. He began to break through to Celestial Path.

In the current world, without the power of Celestial Path, it was difficult to travel anywhere.

The first step of Celestial Path, Foundation Building Tier.

However, the reason why the Celestial Path was so difficult to advance into was because this first step actually contained two steps. The first was to leap over the Celestial Gate, and the second was to build the Celestial Foundation.

Ling Han didn’t know how long his breakthrough would take, nor did he know if anyone would cause trouble for him during this process. Moreover, he didn’t know if he would cause any great commotion, so he didn’t break through in the Foreign Affairs Department. Instead, he arrived in a forest.

This was still within the boundaries of the Imperial Capital, so there was no need to worry that outsider cultivators would behave atrociously here, and Ling Han also chose a very hidden place.

He released his spirit, and he was only left with blankness. Then, he began to stimulate the great improvement of his level of being.

From mortal to Celestial, this was a qualitative change, and the gap was boundless.

Thus, Ling Han didn’t feel the bottleneck in his cultivation level loosen for a long time.

He was not in a rush. This was very normal. It would not be strange for an ordinary person to be stuck for eight to ten years, or even hundreds of years.

Although he hadn’t been a Mystery Realm Tier for a long time, this cultivation level was very special in the first place. There were two main points, and that was to shatter as many shackles as possible and accumulate enough mystical power. Otherwise, it wouldn’t even be enough to leap over the Celestial Gate.

For Ling Han, the shackles in his body had been fully unlocked, and the level of being in his body had already reached the pinnacle of the mortal level. As for the reserves of mystical power in his body, it had indeed been a weakness in the past, but after entering into the Cleansing Pool, he had already completed this portion.

Thus, he was already fully qualified to attempt breaking through to the Foundation Building Tier.

Ling Han accumulated appreciation, preparing for the impending explosion.

To his surprise, this moment had not come for a long time.

Two days, three days, four days… Ling Han was already feeling hungry. This time, it wasn’t that his mystical power hadn’t been filled, but that he was truly hungry.

He endured it, and did not destroy the mental state that he had painstakingly formed. Once it was destroyed, all his previous efforts would be wasted.

With his current cultivation level, not drinking water for ten days, and not eating for twenty days would not be a problem.

Five days, six days, seven days, hong, a drastic change suddenly took place in Ling Han’s body. The power of life exploded, and every cell was trembling, as if they were about to explode.

‘It’s here, it’s here, it’s here!’

Ling Han only felt his body tremble. It was as if his soul had exited his body and flown into the galaxy, instantly traversing an endless distance.

Where was this?

He finally stopped, and saw that his surroundings were pitch-black, and ahead of him was a massive bronze door.

The bronze door was three hundred meters tall and mottled all over, covered with veined patterns, as if it had experienced too many years.

This was… the Celestial Gate!

Ling Han was astonished. Right now, he was definitely in a soul state. However, was there truly such a place in the galaxy? Did a Celestial Gate exist?

He was not in a rush to leap. Instead, he walked closer, wanting to take a good look at this bronze door.

However, a force instantly repelled him. It was too powerful, and was not something that Ling Han could contend against at all, so he could not approach.

Ling Han focused his gaze, wanting to see clearly. However, no matter how hard he tried, he was still unable to see the veined patterns on the door. It was as if there was an invisible power blurring his vision.

He tried to activate his eye technique, but he was only a spirit form now, so how could he possibly use it?

He watched for a very long time, and only then did he reluctantly give up.

Forget it, he had best just directly leap over the Celestial Gate.

—If this was known to others, they would definitely find it inconceivable. Why are you so curious? Don’t you think that you should be doing proper business?

Ling Han leaped with all his might. In his spiritual soul state, he was very special, and was far taller than usual. Thus, the Celestial Gate that was 300 meters tall was easily leaped over by him.

Yi, then I am now a Celestial, and can build a Celestial Foundation?

He had not even finished this thought, when Ling Han felt that power come again, dragging him as he continued to soar through the dark galaxy.

After who knew how long, he appeared in a new place.

It was still dark all around them, but another door had appeared ahead of them.

After circling around for half a day, he had returned to the original spot?

No, the door ahead of him was not only 1500 meters tall, it was also white and silver in colour.

First, it was bronze, then it was silver. Could it be that there was a gold door after this?

Ling Han recalled what Princess Bixiao had said. She had crossed two Celestial Gates, but at the time, she had not explained in detail. If he had known earlier, he should have investigated in more detail.

Who cares? He would just continue to leap.

Ling Han still wanted to carefully observe this silver door first, but there was also a force stopping him from doing so.

Sigh!

Ling Han leaped over, easily crossing over this silver Celestial Gate.

However, his soul had not returned, when his soul was once again grabbed by a powerful force, and roamed through the galaxy.

When he stopped, a Celestial Gate appeared in front of him. Ling Han only gave an “oh”, and wasn’t so surprised.

Could it be that the higher one’s talent, the more Celestial Gates one could cross, and then the stronger one’s abilities would be?

However, Ling Han decided to try to get closer first. After discovering that he couldn’t, he would leap over. In any case, this wouldn’t take much time.

The golden Celestial Gate was unfathomably tall, but Ling Han still barely managed to leap over with a leap.

It should be about time, right? It should be time for his soul to return, right?

However… he did not..
