“Reincarnation Gate can this gate really bring my son back to life?”
A woman hugged the memorial plaque tightly. The stele had writing engraved on it, but the writing was worn and blurry.
“Brother Daoist Li, you have lived for forty-eight thousand years, and your lifespan is about to end. Why not try your luck?”
A skinny old man pulled another equally old old man aside and persuaded him, “The Evil Path Palace has promised that as long as you do good deeds, you can enter the Gate of Reincarnation and obtain eternal life!”
“I have practiced for 50,000 years, and have been stuck at the peak of the ninth rank of the Heavenly God Realm for a full 20,000 years. There is no hope of breaking through the limit, and my lifespan is less than 100 years.”
The old man, who was addressed as Fellow Daoist Li, struggled for a moment before finally putting on a firm expression. “Okay, okay! Rather than die in obscurity, I would rather take this risk!”
Conversations like this constantly occurred among the crowd.
Suddenly, a long ringing bell sounded from the direction of the Evil Path Temple.
Hundreds of black-robed Soul Hunters emerged from the gray-white pillars of light, lining up on both sides to form a passage leading to the depths.
All refuge seekers were sorted according to their cultivation level and entered sequentially.
In front of the Reincarnation Gate, Zhan E sat high on a bone throne, with the Soul Devouring Puppet standing quietly beside him, expressionless.
The first group brought in consisted of three old monsters at the peak of the ninth rank of the Immortal Lord Realm, whose lifespans were almost over.
“Greetings, Palace Master!”
The three bowed in unison, their eyes filled with admiration and unstoppable longing.
Zhan E slightly raised his hand: “There is no need for formalities. Since you three fellow Daoists have come with sincere intentions, I will let you see for yourselves the power of the Reincarnation Gate.”
He turned around, made a hand seal, and sent a stream of gray-white energy into the Reincarnation Gate.
The door slowly opened a crack, revealing the gray and lifeless world inside.
But Zhan E had clearly tampered with it. As the door opened, a majestic ghost scene was projected behind it: jade palaces, cranes and auspicious clouds, as well as countless figures leisurely strolling within. The faces of those figures were none other than the faces of cultivators who had long since perished!
“That’s Brother Qingyun!”
Among the three old monsters, a green-robed old man exclaimed in shock, “Didn’t he already die under the heavenly tribulation five hundred years ago?!”
“Then what about Zixia Fairy, didn’t she die in the secret realm a thousand years ago?”
“My Taoist partner…he too…”
Tears immediately welled up in the three people’s eyes, and they trembled all over.
At that exact moment, Zhan E spoke, his voice containing an alluring magical power: “The Gate of Reincarnation connects life and death, spanning past and present. All who enter this gate can reunite their true spirits, reshape their physical bodies, and enjoy eternal life.”
“As for those who have passed away as long as you sincerely offer alms and do good deeds, God Almighty will bestow mercy on them and allow them to be reborn.”
“thud!”
The three old monsters knelt down in unison, their foreheads touching the ground: “Palace Lord’s great kindness! We are willing to die for the Evil Path Palace!”
“very good.”
Zhan E nodded with satisfaction, “From today, you will be the first group of elders of the Reincarnation Envoy. Go and tell the people out there what you have seen.”
The three excitedly stood up, turned around, and rushed out of the main hall.
Before long, their excited and trembling voices came from outside:
“That’s right! That’s right! I saw Brother Qingyun!”
“The Gate of Reincarnation can resurrect the dead! It can grant eternal life!”
“Join the Hall of Evil! This is our last chance!”
The refugees outside immediately cheered happily!
If there had been any doubts before, seeing those three highly respected elders so happy now had dispelled all my worries.
“I want to join! I’m willing to give up all my possessions!”
“I will do anything to bring my daughter back to life!”
“Give me immortality! Give me a chance to breakthrough!”
The atmosphere of enthusiasm spread like a plague.
In just half a day, the number of people seeking refuge doubled, including two medium-sized sects that were previously hesitant, who then moved their entire sect members to join them.
The news spread quickly throughout the twelve heavens.
However, what would truly shake the entire Twelve Heavens was still to come.
