My disciple's cultivation returns ten thousand times, so I have to be invincible.

Zhong Qing frowned.

"Does this so-called deception really make sense?"

"To be honest, when I was in the outside world, almost all the powerful people at the top of the star region knew that the Ninth Heaven was within our Abyss."

"Even after all these years, many people have come here, right?"

"You told me this at the beginning."

Bai Ze chuckled: "It's not surprising that people outside know about this."

"When all the races followed the Twelve Immortal Lords and migrated together, it was such a big commotion. How could it be hidden from everyone?"

"Let alone the mighty ones from the pinnacle of power, any descendant of the myriad races that survived back then would have probably heard of the legends here, right?"

Zhong Qing nodded and could only say that it was true.

Not to mention Cang Xuanzi, the Divine Ancestor, and the Original Spirit Saint Master.

Even those from the Minghai Sect, and even many prisoners on the Prisoner Star, had heard about Xu Yuan.

Bai Ze smiled and said, "Whether these people know it or not is not important."

"Because this deceptive trick is not meant to hide it from them."

"In fact, the original intention was not to hide this matter from the Starry Sky Myriad Clans."

"Instead, I thought that if anyone from the outside world survived the catastrophe and heard about what happened here, it would be great if they could rush to the Ninth Heaven to seek refuge."

"Of course, that's assuming they can find a way in."

"Zhong Qing, you seem to have misunderstood something."

Bai Ze's eyes flickered. "The catastrophe we had to guard against back then wasn't caused by a specific person or individual."

"It won't go around the stars asking which abyss we have escaped into."

"It targeted all races in the starry sky at that time."

"This is because Xu Yuan's special nature will cause it to interfere with the Wuji Realm."

"If only a single abyss suddenly appeared here, and a large number of life forms disappeared into it, it would be as obvious as a torch in the darkness."

"That's why we created hundreds of Void Abysses and placed them around. From the perspective of the Wuji Realm, it's like there are a large number of blind spots here."

"From a big picture perspective, it's difficult to pinpoint just one of these blind spots that suddenly appeared."

"And the Great Tribulation never pursues a single person or a group of people. Since there are many blind spots here and it's difficult to explore, it won't focus on this area."

"So we 'escaped' the catastrophe, rather than hiding it from the public."

"The entire star region, including this Urobuchi, is a place of refuge."

"Only within the Ninth Heaven is it absolutely safe."

"So, I'm not surprised when you say that the outside world is thriving with immortal cultivation civilization. Most likely, among those who rushed to this star region back then but didn't make it to the Ninth Heaven, a considerable number survived and, over the past hundreds of millions of years, have flourished again and spread far and wide."

Zhong Qing seemed to understand what was said.

"In short, you're saying that it doesn't matter even if the cultivators from the outside world know that the Ninth Heaven is here?"

"Of course it doesn't matter."

Bai Ze took a sip from his wine glass and said with a calm smile, "If there was a connection, the Twelve Immortal Lords would not have spread the news of the Nine Heavens. Instead, they would have brought a small number of fire seeds from each tribe and secretly entered the Nine Heavens."

"By the way, before entering, kill all those who know the news."

His words were understated, but they were somewhat creepy.

Zhong Qing twitched the corners of his mouth.

"Ok."

"Then you must also know that powerful people from the outside world would enter the Ninth Heaven to look for the door."

Bai Ze sipped the light golden wine, smiled and said nothing.

Zhong Qing asked with some curiosity.

"Then do you know where the so-called door is?"

Bai Ze nodded.

"I saw it once."

"But unfortunately, it is now in the first heaven."

"So after we leave the first heaven, we will never be able to touch it again."

At this point, Bai Ze's eyes moved.

He shook his head and sighed, "But even if I have the door, it's meaningless."

"The door is only useful to those who have achieved the second level of sublimation."

"Given the current situation within the Nine Heavens, even the most talented few would find it difficult to reach the limit of the second sublimation, so naturally they wouldn't be able to use that door."

"Let it remain sealed in the first heaven."

"The great catastrophe that year was closely related to the sect."

"If we open the door again now, whether it will usher in sublimation or disaster, no one can tell."

Zhong Qing asked curiously.

"So it's in the First Heaven. What does it look like? I'm from the First Heaven, so maybe I've seen it before."

Bai Ze shook his head and laughed: "How could it be such a coincidence."

"As for what they look like...the three doors all contain mysterious laws that cannot be deduced by any deductive method. Similarly, no one can fully reproduce the appearance of the doors, not even through light and shadow drawings. Therefore, the ancient paintings depicting these three doors can only partially depict their patterns, like this."

As he spoke, Bai Ze raised his hand and drew patterns in the air with his fingers.

The patterns emerged one by one, and Zhong Qing stared at them. The more he looked, the more familiar they seemed.

When he saw the end, he was suddenly shocked.

He recognized this pattern.

No...it's not so much recognition...

Bai Ze noticed Zhong Qing's strange expression and asked, "Why, have you seen these patterns?"

The corner of Zhong Qing's eye twitched slightly.

"Yeah, almost."

More than just seen it.

Isn't there an ancient bronze door with these patterns painted on it in his sea of ​​consciousness?

Back then, in the first heaven, in the southern border of the northern region, above the White Wind Plain, in the deepest part of the White Wind Secret Realm.

Deep underground, Zhong Qing found a bronze door.

The pattern above is exactly the same as this one.

No one knew the origin of that door. No matter how hard Zhong Qing pushed it, he couldn't open it, nor could he move it.

Later, he directly put it into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Because this thing is extremely strong, it seems that nothing can destroy it.

So occasionally you can use it as a brick to hit people.

Now it seems.

This door in Zhong Qing’s sea of ​​consciousness.

Maybe, possibly.

Perhaps, it was one of the three doors that the Twelve Immortal Lords used to lead into the Nine Heavens.

No wonder Zhong Qing always felt a sense of familiarity when he heard Master Yuan Ling talk about the gate.

So that's the fan?

In other words, the things that outsiders like the God Ancestor spent countless years and great effort to cross the black hole and enter the Ninth Heaven to find were actually already in Zhong Qing's hands?
