Chapter 708 - 351: The First Meeting with the Empress Dowager
Chapter 708: Chapter 351: The First Meeting with the Empress DowagerSince the Taoist Ancestor of Zhenxuan Mountain ascended, no cultivator has successfully stepped into the Heavenly Gate.
Not even the three great masters of the previous dynasty.
Back then, they signed an agreement with the court to hunt down the Asura Queen, partly to attempt using the "Borderless Soul" within her to fulfill their ascension dreams, but they failed.
Later, they turned their attention to the Demon Venerable, but nearly met their ends.
During this time, they sought other methods.
For instance, Kumu created a unique technique called the "Lotus Ascension Vein," which could potentially open the Upper Realm’s Heavenly Gate without needing to cross the Ascension Bridge.
Another example is Xuanyuan Shugui’s "Path of No Self," aiming to sense the Immortal Realm at close range.
And yet another is Heaven Master Chou’s intense re
By now, they had already noticed instability in the Taoist Ancestor’s Dharma Aspect; it could disperse at any moment.
This was a bad sign.
They had to enter the tomb chamber swiftly without interference, to question the Taoist Ancestor personally. If the Taoist Ancestor refused to answer, they would perform other secret techniques upon his remains.
After all, the down-to-earth Taoist Ancestor surely left traces of immortal qi remaining.
Blocking the others, Xuanyuan Shugui and Kumu tacitly charged toward Qi, who stood guard at the tomb chamber entrance.
Currently, only Qi posed a true threat.
As for Dugu Luoxue, though she appeared to be at the Feathered Transformation Realm, her shattered Tao Heart made it difficult for her to fully wield her cultivation, rendering her non-threatening—more than enough for Heaven Master Chou to handle.
"Girl, meeting me is your providence."
Heaven Master Chou placed a white Bone Bead into his mouth, saying to Dugu Luoxue, "You will understand that to seek the Tao lies in breaking before rebuilding, in letting go."
Heaven Master Chou struck at Dugu Luoxue with his palm.
A black-pink Yin-Yang Diagram manifested behind him, accompanied by an alluring melody.
Dugu Luoxue formed a spell to counter.
...
As the crowd descended into chaotic battle, the tomb chamber’s door subtly twisted. A gentle breeze passed silently, revealing two figures within the tomb chamber.
They were two women.
One was shrouded in black garments, only her sharp, radiant eyes exposed.
The other, though ordinary-looking, possessed a slinky and graceful figure. Her girded waist was slender, her curvaceous form mesmerizing—especially the region above her attire, full and lush.
These two were none other than Empress Dowager Xiao and her Ghost Guard Captain.
