The Unspeakable Black Curtain Behind the Tribulation

Lin Xuan, the main culprit at this moment, felt no sense of urgency after killing Old Ancestor Ming He and disrupting the heavenly secrets. Instead, he rode a white auspicious cloud and arrived at the ancient Demon Race's Heavenly Court once more.

This was the area that Haotian had now usurped.

Lin Xuan's next plan was to pay a visit to the legendary Haotian.

He wanted to see what qualifications this attendant by the Dao Ancestor's side possessed to be designated as the Heavenly Emperor by Old Daoist Hongjun.

And because he was looked down upon by the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Heavenly Origin Sect, he directly reported it to the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

This directly triggered the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation that followed!

Or rather, the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation in his previous life, which caused the five Saints to directly fight each other, even drawing real fire and nearly forcing a remaking of the Primordial World by resetting the elements of earth, water, wind, and fire, was all caused by a small report from Haotian?

Upon considering this possibility, Lin Xuan's expression couldn't help but turn a bit strange.

Of course, he also knew that this was just a bored and idle speculation of his own.

Looking back at every tribulation since the creation of the Primordial World, there were always many reasons behind their eruption.

Moreover, Lin Xuan vaguely thought of another possibility.

After the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, the Dao Ancestor attained sainthood and preached the Great Dao in the Primordial World.

Three thousand guests of the mortal world gathered at Zixiao Palace, listening to the Dao Ancestor impart the profound Xuanmen Great Dao.

The subsequent Witch-Demon Tribulation swept away all obstacles in the Primordial World.

The Dao Ancestor's lineage produced six Saints.

The Xuanmen Great Dao they imparted flourished in the Primordial World.

Then came the current Investiture of the Gods Tribulation. Thinking of this, Lin Xuan immediately stopped the thoughts in his mind.

So many events were enough to prove that the waters in every tribulation were very deep.

It wasn't as simple as it appeared on the surface, merely a tribulation affecting the entire Primordial World triggered by a few conflicts.

A moment later.

Lin Xuan's figure appeared outside the South Heaven Gate.

Lin Xuan looked at the three characters "South Heaven Gate" written in ancient demonic script and couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.

Haotian's vision was still too narrow.

Since he was re-establishing the Heavenly Court, he was still using remnants of the ancient Demon Race to adorn the facade.

He had completely disgraced the Dao Ancestor's reputation.

After this sigh, Lin Xuan prepared to walk directly into the South Heaven Gate.

Just as he raised one foot, a shout came from nearby.

"Halt! What rogue immortal dares to approach!"

"Are you blind! Is the South Heaven Gate a place you can just enter as you please!"

"Get out quickly, don't obstruct the sight of the Heavenly Origin Sect immortals inside!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

As soon as this voice fell, a Heavenly General clad in ornate armor walked up to Lin Xuan, looking at him with disdain.

He expected Lin Xuan to leave with a fawning apology.

In his opinion, a Daoist like Lin Xuan, who had no auspicious signs accompanying his journey, no mount, and no attendant, was at best a rogue cultivator who had learned some unorthodox skills from an unknown source.

He probably came to the South Heaven Gate following the trend, knowing that the Heavenly Court was recruiting immortals from all over the Primordial World.

But he didn't open his eyes to see if this was a place he could come to?

This place was specifically for welcoming Saints' lineages like the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Western Sect, as well as the mighty ones of the Primordial World.

And a mere mountain hermit rogue immortal wanted to enter?

If it weren't for the fact that a Heavenly Origin Sect immortal was visiting today, and he didn't want to disturb the immortal, he would have persuaded Lin Xuan kindly.

Otherwise, he would definitely make Lin Xuan understand why the flowers were so red!

Lin Xuan, an ordinary disciple of the Intercepting Sect who had personally slain Old Ancestor Ming He, annihilated the Asura tribe in the Sea of Blood, and had already attained the fruit of a Great Dao Saint, achieving the true form of a Chaos Demon God.

Upon hearing this, his eyebrows twitched slightly.

Then, he casually released a wisp of his pressure.

Instantly.

All the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals guarding the South Heaven Gate froze as if they were insects trapped in amber.

They couldn't even move.

Then, Lin Xuan smiled at the Heavenly General and said:

"You are very good."

After speaking, Lin Xuan walked straight into the South Heaven Gate.

A long time after he left.

The Heavenly Generals and soldiers outside the South Heaven Gate finally recovered from the oppressive pressure.

"That mighty one who just walked in... so terrifying!"

"This guard duty is too dangerous. It feels like we could lose our lives at any moment."

"From now on, we need to keep our eyes wide open. Not everyone can be offended."

"By the way, how's Old Qian? Why hasn't he said anything for so long?"

The Heavenly Soldier's words immediately drew the attention of the Heavenly Generals and soldiers present. They curiously looked towards the Heavenly General who had spoken disrespectfully to Lin Xuan earlier.

They saw that the Heavenly General's eyes were wide open, his face frozen in an expression of extreme shock.

But there was no life left in him at all; even his Primordial Spirit had begun to dissipate.

Clearly, he had been scared to death.

Seeing his state, the remaining Heavenly Generals and soldiers couldn't help but subconsciously swallow.

They secretly vowed in their hearts never to guard this damned South Heaven Gate again!

Whoever wants to guard it can have it!
