King Mountain.
The mountain towered ten thousand zhang high, akin to a stairway leading to the heavens.
It was one of the tallest mountains in the entire world.
And at that mont, Yin Tian stood at the foot of King Mountain.
By his side were Su Qinwei and ten other girls.
Originally, Yin Tian had not planned to bring them along, but after their persistent pleas, he eventually brought them to King Mountain.
According to the location given by his master, the Hidden World Clan that had imprisoned his mother was on this mountain.
"Let’s go."
Yin Tian spoke softly, directly leading the eleven girls up the mountain.
The mountain path was wide but scarcely travelled by people.
King Mountain had always been in a closed state.
To outsiders, it was said that the mountain paths were dangerous, fearing that tourists might have accidents.
However, the real reason was that the Hidden World Clan had claid King Mountain as their territory, forbidding others from intruding.
Yin Tian and the girls encountered no obstructions on their way up the mountain, and he was so focused that he didn’t even take the ti to admire the surrounding scenery.
At that mont, all he wanted was to find the location of the Hidden World Clan as quickly as possible and rescue his mother.
Although the Hidden World Clan was powerful, and even figures like his master had returned in defeat,
Yin Tian too had changed greatly since then.
He had confidence.
Even the Hidden World Clan would not be able to block his path!
But this mountain was truly too high.
After nearly an entire day of climbing, Yin Tian and his companions finally reached the mountain’s peak.
At the top, they saw a vast plateau.
Within the plateau stood a range of contiguous palaces!
"What a grand sight!"
Yin Tian exclaid, "To build such a palace in a place like this, what an extravagant undertaking!"
Before his words had settled, several figures were already approaching from afar.
"Who are you?"
The newcors wore hostile expressions and looked at Yin Tian with disdain.
However, when their gaze fell on Su Qinwei and the other girls, their eyes revealed a hint of astonishnt.
Such won...
Even their own clan seldom saw such beauties!
"? I’m here to find soone,"
Yin Tian said with a smiley tone.
"To find soone?"
The few n looked at each other.
Being mbers of a Hidden World Clan, their people seldom ventured out. How would this outsider know anyone from their clan?
"Who are you looking for?"
"My mother,"
Yin Tian said, then added, "The one you suppressed inside the Tower of Sinners."
The Tower of Sinners!
The young n all shook violently.
The Tower of Sinners was specifically used to suppress the most wicked and absolutely evil mbers of their clan.
Not a single person sent into the Tower of Sinners had co out alive.
And currently, inside the Tower,
only one person was imprisoned.
"It’s you!"
One of them suddenly realized, staring intently at Yin Tian, "You are the bastard born from that despicable woman!"
Yin Tian’s face was expressionless as he waved his hand through the air.
Slap!
The crisp sound of a slap echoed, and that person was sent flying!
But...
Yin Tian was clearly more than ten ters away from that person. How did he do that?
"If you can’t control your foul mouth, I can make sure it’s shut forever,"
Yin Tian’s indifferent voice carried through.
The young n looked at Yin Tian in horror.
In their minds erged a legend that circulated within their clan.
"You... you’ve started to cultivate?"
One of them mustered the courage to ask Yin Tian.
"Congratulations, you guessed right,"
Yin Tian replied, smiling at the man.
Hearing Yin Tian’s admission, the faces of the young n turned completely white with horror.
"You... you dare to commit violence in the Ji Family’s territory! You think just because..."
One of them struggled to speak, but Yin Tian frowned and said sharply, "Stop your prattle."
The next second, as if struck by a heavy blow, that person was knocked back and sent flying.
Yin Tian, however, continued to stride forward, leading Su Qinwei and the other girls past those people, heading straight for the palace complex.
Soon, hearing the commotion, other mbers of the Ji Family rushed out.
Each one of them was an outstanding figure!
Had it been the old Yin Tian, facing any one of them would not have been easy.
Unfortunately,
The current Yin Tian was worlds apart from them!
"Stop right there! This place belongs to the Ji Family, and you dare..."
One of the middle-aged n shouted loudly.
But Yin Tian simply stomped his foot.
Boom!
A trendous pressure surged,
forcing all those people to kneel on the ground, unable to move.
Yet Yin Tian continued to walk as if he were strolling leisurely through his own courtyard.
No matter how many people stood in front of Yin Tian,
no matter how strong those people were,
in the face of Yin Tian, they couldn’t muster even the slightest resistance!
Eventually, Yin Tian finally arrived in front of a tall tower.
The tower was pitch black, giving off an extrely oppressive feeling.
At the sa ti, there was not a single window on the tower, making it impossible for light to penetrate.
In there, staying for three days would be enough to drive soone insane!
A cold light flickered across Yin Tian’s face.
His mother had been locked inside for a full twenty years?
He clenched his right fist and threw a punch.
The door, made of hefty stone weighing over a thousand jin...
shattered into pieces!
After a long absence, light flooded into the tower.
At the sa ti, a cry of astonishnt ca from within.
Yin Tian’s eyes shimred with divine light as he strode in.
Then he saw her, the woman inside wearing hospun clothes, her figure slightly emaciated. Although aged, her delicate features were still discernible.
"Mom..."
Yin Tian’s voice trembled as he spoke.
This was the mother he had yearned for over a decade!
Now, he had finally found her!
Ji Qinghan was initially astonished, wondering who dared to blast open the Tower of Sinners’ door, but then she heard that cry of "Mom".
Her body shuddered, her eyes widened, staring at the person approaching. Sadly, her vision, having deteriorated from constant darkness, failed to make out his features clearly.
Yin Tian reached out, took Ji Qinghan’s hand, and led her out of the Tower of Sinners.
The glaring light caused Ji Qinghan’s eyes imnse pain, yet she still stared, trying to make out the handso man before her.
With just one look, Ji Qinghan was certain.
This was undoubtedly her child!
"Tian’er..."
Tears cascaded down Ji Qinghan’s cheeks, "It’s my Tian’er..."
"Mom..."
Yin Tian, too, was overwheld with emotion, "I’ve co to take you ho."
Ji Qinghan felt as if she were dreaming.
She clutched Yin Tian tightly, afraid that if she let go, he would vanish.
"Mom, Dad has been waiting for you all this ti."
Yin Tian spoke tenderly, his expression moved, "Now, no one can separate you two anymore!"
Ji Qinghan nodded, her eyes never ceased their adoring gaze upon Yin Tian.
Just then.
An elderly man approached from a distance.
Air about him extraordinary, it was clear he was accustod to high authority.
He took a deep look at Ji Qinghan, then turned to Yin Tian, "Who would have thought, the small child of years past would now be able to force his way into the Ji Family!"
"Ji Qinghan, from today, you’re free."
Upon hearing this, Ji Qinghan started crying anew.
And Yin Tian let out a cold snort, "What? You think you can stop while I’m standing right here?"
Ji Qinghan extended her hand, pulling at Yin Tian, "Don’t be unreasonable, this is your grandfather..."
Grandfather?
Yin Tian let out a scoff, "I certainly don’t have a grandfather that locks up his own daughter in a tower, away from daylight for twenty years."
The elder shook his head and looked back at Yin Tian, "Have you mastered that cultivation thod?"
"What of it?"
"Very well."
The elder spoke with a sigh, "The Ji Family has been commanded to guard the Heavenly Gate for two thousand years to date. Today, at last, we have waited for you."
Yin Tian was taken aback.
What did he an?
Was the Ji Family not occupying King Mountain out of greed but was instead ordered to guard it?
And what was this Heavenly Gate?
"In recent years, malevolent forces have stirred within the Heavenly Gate. The Ji Family can no longer contain it. Now that you have arrived, this matter is yours to deal with," whispered the elder.
Yin Tian grew more and more confused.
Ji Qinghan began explaining softly to Yin Tian, "In the back mountain, there’s a cave that connects to another world. People from that world always try to co here, so every hundred years, the Ji Family chooses two of the purest bloodline, a man and a woman, to use blood sacrifice to seal the Heavenly Gate."
"Originally, I was one of them, but then I fell in love with your father, which broke... tainted , causing the seal on the Heavenly Gate to shatter..."
Yin Tian suddenly understood.
No wonder the Ji Family deed Ji Qinghan a sinner.
If one were to put themselves in the Ji Family’s shoes, setting aside the inhumanity of their actions, it was indeed justifiable.
After all, the Ji Family was protecting not just their own lineage but the masses upon Earth!
"So what are you saying?"
Yin Tian asked, "You want to seal that Heavenly Gate?"
"The founder left a decree, only those who understand cultivation may pass through the Heavenly Gate. Whether or not you can resolve the nace behind the gate is entirely up to you."
"That’s sowhat interesting."
Yin Tian responded indifferently, "If I go, the Ji Family must no longer trouble my mother!"
"Rest assured."
The elder nodded in affirmation.
"Good."
Yin Tian nodded, "Then I’ll go take a look."
"We’re coming too!"
Together, Su Qinwei and the other ten girls declared in unison.
"What business do you have joining in?"
Yin Tian spoke helplessly.
"We live and die together!"
"Sigh..."
Yin Tian heaved a sigh.
Looking at the eleven determined faces before him, he opened his mouth to protest, but couldn’t bring himself to refuse.
"Then let’s go."
...
On this day.
Yin Tian, accompanied by his family and eleven others, entered the Heavenly Gate.
That day, the gap in the Heavenly Gate began to shrink.
Two years later.
The malicious aura emanating from within the gate began to wane.
Five years later.
The gap in the Heavenly Gate disappeared without a trace.
Ten years later.
The King, in rembrance of Yin Tian’s contributions to the world, erected a divine statue in his honor, and conferred upon him the title Supre War God of the National Pillar, Qian Yuan Wu Ji Tian Zun!
Su Qinwei and the other eleven girls were similarly granted divine positions.
They were worshiped by the masses.
In every household, they all worshiped the divine statue of Yin Tian!
...
In the other world.
Having beco the supre ruler of this realm, hailed as the Sovereign, Yin Tian earnestly sought the way ho.
One day, he suddenly felt a faint calling.
It was the prayers of the masses!
Gazing at Su Qinwei and the other eleven empresses by his side, and at his offspring playing not far away.
Yin Tian suddenly stood up from his throne above the nine heavens, his eyes ablaze with passion.
In the tiger-like eyes, tears began to surge.
"The road ho... has been found!"
