could only see within ten miles.This also means that Jiang Yun's divine sense is ten times stronger than that of cultivators of the same rank.As for the reason, Ginger Cloud might not know, but Bai Z...Although the thousand cultivators gathered before Tiangu had been waiting for its opening, at this moment, seeing the completely opened gates of Tiangu Palace, everyone remained standing still, not a single person rushing to enter.

Even, their faces were filled with calmness and vigilance.

As always, the cultivators who have made it this far are all formidable powerhouses.

How could they possibly venture in blindly without any knowledge of this celestial realm

If you step inside the palace gate, you will be ambushed or attacked by the guarding cultivators. If you die, it would be a terrible injustice.

Therefore, all the cultivators of the lower realms were patiently waiting, waiting for the guardian within this Heavenly Gate to appear.

As expected, moments later, figures began to swarm above the palace gate as a group of powerful beings emerged.

The middle-aged man at the front, with a look of arrogance on his face and a hint of disdain in his eyes, swept over all the cultivators from the lower realms before coldly saying: "The Heavenly Gate has opened, why haven't you entered yet!"

As the man spoke, he snapped his fingers, and suddenly a three-foot long incense stick appeared in mid-air. The incense tip was already lit, and wisps of blue smoke rose gracefully upward.

When this incense burns out, the Heavenly Gate shall be closed!

After uttering those words, the middle-aged man swept away in a huff!

Hearing the middle-aged man's words and looking at the three-foot-long incense burning in the air, many cultivators from the lower realms couldn't help but show a look of suspicion on their faces.

It is not difficult to see that the appearance of the middle-aged man and his attitude were meant to intimidate all the cultivators in the lower realms.

But he somehow managed to make such a long incense stick.

A three-foot long incense stick, burning it would probably take half a day. For such a long time, even if over a thousand cultivators from the lower realms crawled their way here, they would still have plenty of time to enter Tianque Gate!

What's going on

"Bang bang bang!"

Just then, a heavy tread echoed from within the open palace gates.

Twelve cultivators walked out from the inner chambers, standing on either side of the palace gate. They were expressionless and their cold gazes swept over all the present cultivators.

These twelve monks were the very ones who had stood at the palace gate earlier.

Seeing them appear, over a thousand lower realm cultivators looked at each other in surprise, but they secretly felt relieved.

Since they're all here, there shouldn't be any danger inside the palace gates.

Suddenly, a mocking voice rang out: "Just a First Heavenly Gate, and it has frightened you all"

"I'd like to see if this Tianque is really a dragon's lair!"

Among the sound of chatter, a young master with a black monkey perched on his shoulder walked with an air of confidence, striding majestically towards the open palace gates under the gaze of all present.

It is Shen Minglie!

All eyes naturally turned to him, wanting to see if the first person to enter the Tianque Gate would suffer an accident.

Only Ginger Cloud's gaze was fixed on the now empty palace gate, her brow furrowed slightly as if contemplating something.

"Master Jiang, what are you thinking about"

On the side, Huang Qiuyan asked in confusion.

Ginger retracted her gaze and smiled faintly. "Nothing, I just feel that the middle-aged man who appeared just now gave me a familiar feeling."

"Familiar"

This time, it was Xia Mo who spoke first. Her eyes twinkled as she excitedly said: "Brother Jiang, you wouldn't know that person, would you"

If you know him, could you please ask him to be more lenient with us!

Hearing Xia Mo's address to him and those words, Jiang Yun felt a bit of resistance in his heart.

It's obvious to anyone that the relationship between Xia Mo and Huang Qiu Yan is all superficiality.

But now, at the end of summer, he was acting as if they were old friends. Jiang Yun really couldn't stand people like this.

Therefore, Ginger Cloud's face remained expressionless as she said: "It's not that we know each other, but if I really went to ask him for help, then even if we were originally able to pass this level of Heaven's Gate, I'm afraid we would all die here."

Ginger Cloud felt that the middle-aged man's aura just now was a bit like that of the Eight 部 天眾.

He was just not quite sure. The host of the Heavenly Palace, wouldn't it be too coincidental that they were actually from the Eight Departments of Heaven

If that's the case, then myself and these eight heavenly departments truly are quite fated!

Wong Chiu-yin stood up and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's see if Shen Ming-lie can enter safely!"

If we could, let's get in too. There are so many people here, and an incense stick's time is a bit nerve-wracking!

This sentence made Ginger Cloud involuntarily turn her head to look at Huang Qiu Yan.

Including Jiang Yun, everyone felt that the time would be enough before the incense stick about three feet long burned out.

But Wong Chio-yan said it wasn't enough.

It seems Huang Qiuyan still knows some things and didn't tell me.

Facing Jiang Yun's gaze, Huang Qiuyan smiled but did not speak, clearly confirming Jiang Yun's thoughts. However, she was also not prepared to tell Jiang Yun.

However, Gingercloud didn't ask further.

Because he could also guess, although the Que Palace gates were wide open that day, it wouldn't be easy to enter smoothly.

At this point, Shen Minglie had already walked to the palace gate and deliberately stopped. He swept his gaze over the twelve cultivators, gave a provocative smile, and then continued his steps.

But just as Shen Minglie's figure stepped into the palace gate, a sudden change occurred!

"Boom boom boom!"

These twelve monks suddenly raised their hands simultaneously, each throwing out something like a jade slip. It exploded with a boom in front of Shen Minglie.

The sudden change caused the expressions of all the lower realm cultivators to shift almost instantly.

Especially Shen Minglie, his eyes flashed with cold light!

It seemed to everyone that these cultivators guarding the Heavenly Gate were indeed going to take advantage of the crowd entering the palace and launch a surprise attack.

Only those who can withstand the surprise attacks of their pursuers are eligible to proceed to the next level of this heavenly palace.

If you can't stop it, then you just have to accept your fate and be killed!

To be honest, Shen Ming's reaction was quite quick.

He didn't even bother to look at what had exploded in front of him. His advancing form immediately retreated backward, back to the palace gate, only then did he raise his eyes to look inside the palace.

Inside the palace gate, there were several rays of light shooting into the sky at this moment. These rays of light lingered in the air and intertwined with each other, forming layers upon layers of a luminous web!

The Lightnet, a total of twelve layers!

To truly pass through the palace gate, one must journey through these twelve layers of light.

Even those cultivators who had not entered the palace gates could clearly feel that every layer of light contained a powerful wave of energy.

Looking at these twelve layers of light nets, Shen Ming's face darkened. He looked at the twelve cultivators and said, "What do you mean by this"

Originally, he thought his question would go unanswered, but the lead monk, after glancing at him, calmly said, "The first heaven has twelve palace gates, which correspond to these twelve layers of light net."

The number of light nets you can break through determines the level of the palace you enter.

Only those who can enter palaces of the sixth level or higher are truly eligible to enter this Heavenly Palace.

Upon hearing the monk's explanation, all the cultivators from the lower realms instantly understood.

This is clearly another test for everyone.

This also means that, in order to pass through this celestial gate, the examination begins from the moment one steps through the palace gates.

Now everyone finally understood why the middle-aged man had left behind a three-foot-long incense stick.

Shen Minglie's eyes flashed as he said, "What are the consequences if one cannot enter the palace within the top six"

The head monk looked at him, gave a cold smile, and did not answer again!

At the same time, in a palace of the Heavenly Realm, a grand feast had been set.

Including the headmaster and Lord of the Zizai Hall, Dong Chengji, many cultivators sat in the lower seats.

And the Eight-part Heavenly Sovereign named Tenno was sitting at the top seat.

Tenmo, holding a wine glass, sneered: "These cultivators from the lower realms, do they really think it's so easy to enter this Heavenly Gate"ething they're not, hoping to join Lü Fengzong and see if they could get a spot.And another category of monks were true masters of the sealing arts, one could even say they were quite proficient.That...
