Chapter 1210: Chapter 1209: Opening the Gate to a Foreign Domain Chapter 1210: Chapter 1209: Opening the Gate to a Foreign Domain “Regardless of how different the consciousness environnt, gate structure, or overall feeling may be, the essence remains unchanged.
Countless beings from myriad worlds arrive at the “Door of Truth” through cultivation, upgrading, evolving, among other ans, to accomplish a suprely important task, ‘opening the gate.’
This is also a crucial step for an individual to touch the essence of all things.
Ah… co on!”
Han Dong could no longer recall how long he had stayed in the cellar, nor how he had elevated his consciousness to stand before this door, but none of that mattered. There was only one thing in front of him.
To open the gate, more precisely, to open the gate in a foreign domain.
After all, what was being perford here was not an opening by Han Dong’s true self.
Instead, it was done through the corpse body of the Tomb World in conjunction with the [Floating Corpse Internal Classic], similar to a ‘third-person’ approach.
The body was elevated while the head remained unaffected.
To witness the entire process of opening the gate in this way and to experience it firsthand was absolutely unique.
If he could successfully return to the Black Tower afterward, retrieve his body, and downgrade, and then open the gate through the Fate System once again,
Han Dong would beco the first of his kind to open the gate twice.
Drawing in a long breath,
he reached out and touched the coffin-like texture of the door.
Brute force, tentacles, or any secret thods were incapable of opening this gate.
The only way to open the door was the thod by which Han Dong arrived here—’floating.’
Circulating the [Floating Corpse Internal Classic], he transford himself into a fluid integrating himself with the environnt and even the “Door of Truth” in front of him—everything becoming a fluid… His body gently flowed into the gate, which resembled a coffin.
The mont his body felt fully reclined into the coffin,
the gate opened, fulfilling the act of opening the gate.
However,
“Opening the gate” was not yet finished; Han Dong was also granted an opportunity to enter and investigate further… The depth of exploration seed to determine the perfection of pill condensation, the depth of Han Dong as a Black Zombie.
Stepping inside,
the scene that unfolded before Han Dong’s eyes imdiately juxtaposed with the mories from the [Floating Corpse Internal Classic].
“Is this the truth corresponding to the Corpse Handlers!
Thank goodness I rembered the [Floating Corpse Internal Classic] entirely in my mind instead of leaving it on paper, coupled with the content expounded by Academician Du, this is indeed the essence of Corpse Handlers… Return to the original, corresponding to abandoning the form of demons, returning to the posture of ancestors!”
For a mont,
the words written at the very beginning of the [Floating Corpse Internal Classic], different from other corpse collections and explained through Academician Du’s own words about the concept of ‘floating.’
Those seemingly fanciful and not very useful words, at this mont, surfaced in the brain for the first ti, blending with the scene before him, forming a picture of ‘truth’s appearance.’
≮A corpse floating in midair, surrounded by all things flowing around it≯
Han Dong instinctively reached out his arm, making contact with the corpse.
At the mont of contact, the corpse imdiately underwent deep dissociation.
Transforming into tiny particles indistinguishable to the naked eye and surging toward Han Dong’s abdon.
A warm yet heavy sensation ca from the abdon, if one must make a comparison, it felt like ‘suddenly being pregnant’ with the fetus inside already five months old…
Simultaneously,
Han Dong inside the ‘gate’ suddenly began to [sink].
This was not a physical sinking, nor a ntal one.
Rather, it was a conceptual descent, drawn by the Black Elixir in his abdon, falling deeper towards the truth, the deeper the fall the more truth could be touched.
Any ‘impurity’ during this ti would cause the descent to halt.
Each descent added enormous pressure to the ntal layer, the consciousness shell becoming unstable during this process, starting to distort and deform, even self-dismantling.
But Han Dong’s brain deliberately blocked out the interference, continuing to sink.
Until the deepening reached a level Han Dong couldn’t ignore.
The brain’s blockade was breached, the consciousness shell shattered in the Truth Abyss…
His current position was still a long way from the bottom layer, the mbrane layer of Construct Mythology, only vaguely glimpsing so illusive images, resembling a painting of Corpses flying and burrowing.
Buzz!
The mont the sinking stopped.
The shattered consciousness gathered together, reverted to its true state.
The complete consciousness was imdiately subjected to a ‘strong repulsion’ effect, and pushed out of the “Door of Truth,” excluded by the area filled with coffins, returning to the body located in the cellar of Corpse Country.
Opening his eyes.
The black hair covering his body recedes beneath the skin, and the tentacles stabilizing the body also retracted into the brain.
The warm and heavy feelings in the abdon still persisted, a unique Black Elixir was already ford.
However, there was one thing Han Dong hadn’t realized.
This situation required shifting the cara view to outside the dungeon, away from the mansion… one would find that the mansion occupying thousands of square ters of land had lifted nearly ten ters off the ground, the whole structure floating.
Such a spectacle had drawn personnel from the Talisman District, Ministry of Punishnt, Ministry of War, Ministry of Rites, and Ministry of Revenue.
As Han Dong stepped out of the cellar, he saw Chen Xinying standing anxiously at the door, having grown noticeably thinner and with rather deep dark circles under her eyes.
“Miss Chen, what’s happened? What’s going on?”
“And you’re asking what’s going on… quickly gather all the ‘Corpse Energy’ you’ve released inside and outside the mansion back into your body! There’s already a crowd of officials from four different departnts outside, do you want to cause even more trouble?”
With that, Han Dong realized that during his perception of truth, he had unknowingly released Corpse Energy, causing the entire mansion to float.
Han Dong slowly retracted the Corpse Energy, allowing the mansion to slowly settle down.
“Miss Chen, how long did I take?”
“Probably 87 or 86 days, I can’t rember clearly… in any case, it didn’t go over ti.”
“Good.
And I need to trouble Miss Chen with one more thing, please conjure up a story to drive away the officials gathered outside. It would be quite troubleso if I went out.”
“This is a great opportunity! The commotion caused by the pill condensation process is so unusual that there aren’t many in the entire Corpse Country who could claim the sa. You could use this chance to seek a higher position in the governnt.”
“Would that position be greater than yours?”
“Of course not, mine is the result of many years of accumulation.”
“Then it’s of no use, please help handle it, Miss Chen.
I’m not interested in an official role… Moreover, if I were to get exposed, it would hinder our joint operation in capturing the seventh rank offender. The identity of a Free Person also makes it more convenient to investigate the ‘uncontrollable source.'”
“Alright… hurry and hide in the study, I’ll handle it.”
“Thank you.”
Even though Chen Xinying hadn’t rested well in the past few days due to the anomalies caused by Han Dong, the talents and changes Han Dong displayed had completely surpassed her expectations.
Now she was eighty percent certain that Han Dong belonged to the elite internally cultivated by the Black Tower—a Black Tower lifeform born within and trained to the highest level.
