Opening the Heavenly Gate was an exceedingly lengthy process.
However, the opening of the Heavenly Gate wasn’t done haphazardly; it needed to be opened according to the corresponding cultivation technique.
Everyone’s Heavenly Gate was different.
Xu Ping’an chose the thod from the Chaotic Reversal Scripture to open his Heavenly Gate.
Indeed, there were thods to open the Heavenly Gate in the Heavenly Heart Scripture, but in terms of power, they were not as formidable as the thods from the Chaotic Reversal Scripture.
At this mont, Xu Ping’an was slowly opening his Heavenly Gate following the thod outlined in the Chaotic Reversal Scripture.
As ti passed, his Heavenly Gate was gradually opening.
Soon, the Soul Power burst forth from the fusion of an Immortal Emperor Seal was completely consud by him.
Without hesitation, Xu Ping’an proceeded to fuse with the third Immortal Emperor Seal.
With the fusion of this Immortal Emperor Seal, another massive surge of Soul Power erupted.
Xu Ping’an’s Heavenly Gate continued to open bit by bit.
The more it opened, the more astonished Xu Ping’an beca.
For he discovered that his Heavenly Gate was a full ten tis larger than it had been in his previous life.
And now, he had opened less than half of it, which ant that once he completed the opening, his Heavenly Gate in this life would be at least twenty tis larger than it had been previously.
As a result, the speed of fusion between Soul Power and True Elental Power would be much faster.
When that ti ca, his combat power would erupt even stronger.
Thinking of this, Xu Ping’an grew increasingly excited.
As the Heavenly Gate continued to open, the aura emanating from Xu Ping’an also grew stronger.
But Xu Ping’an was not satisfied, he took out the Immortal Pills and Immortal Elixir from Xia Wu’s storage ring and consud them.
With the intake of these Immortal Pills and Immortal Elixir, his True Yuan was constantly enhancing.
Even before, his True Elental Power had already reached the peak of the Eighth Rank Third Layer Realm.
Now, consuming the Immortal Pills, he broke through directly to the Eighth Rank Fourth Layer Realm, and began advancing toward the Eighth Rank Fifth Layer Realm.
Fortunately, Xia Wu’s Tenth Rank Immortal Pills were plentiful, and at this mont, Xu Ping’an had already consud a full twenty of them.
His cultivation had also reached the peak of the Eighth Rank Sixth Layer Realm.
Only after consuming all the Immortal Elixirs was he able to break through to the Eighth Rank Seventh Layer Realm.
At the sa ti, Xu Ping’an had also fused with an Immortal Emperor Seal.
As expected, the burst of Soul Power from fusing with the Immortal Emperor Seal was ten tis more than from the Immortal Emperor Seals.
With this overwhelmingly vast Soul Power, Xu Ping’an finally completed ninety percent of the Heavenly Gate opening.
"Who would have thought all these resources would be used up so quickly, I really am a gold-consuming beast. Heavenly Gate opening ninety percent? Cultivation reaching the Eighth Rank Seventh Layer Realm? Just a bit more to go, I wonder if Xue Hu has lured anyone here yet?" Xu Ping’an sighed to himself inwardly.
He used to think he had plenty of resources.
But when it ca to actual cultivation, it was still not enough.
However, this increase in cultivation had indeed greatly enhanced his combat power.
Now, within the Semi-Immortal Realm, it was almost impossible to find an adversary.
Once his Heavenly Gate was fully opened and his True Yuan reached the perfect state of the Eighth Rank Ninth Layer Realm.
At that mont, his combat power would rise to a new level.
Thinking of this, Xu Ping’an vaguely felt a sense of anticipation.
Besides the improvent in his cultivation, Xu Ping’an had also initially mastered the first move of Holy Sword Decision, Yao Guang.
Once Yao Guang was released, even the pinnacle of Semi-Immortals might die.
This was the terrifying aspect of Xu Ping’an.
"Xu Ping’an, have you broken through?" Tang Qingyu and Song Xue ca over, with Tang Qingyu asking curiously.
```
"Hmm, I’ve made a few breakthroughs, but they weren’t significant enough," Xu Ping’an responded.
Tang Qingyu and Song Xue beside him were both sowhat speechless.
A few breakthroughs?
You advance several layers at a ti?
How is your cultivation as easy as drinking water?
And you still think the breakthroughs weren’t big enough?
Tang Qingyu suddenly felt she shouldn’t have asked.
"Thank you for this ti, you saved us," Song Xue said to Xu Ping’an.
"Senior Song, you’re being too polite. You’re all old acquaintances of mine; if I don’t save you, who will I save? Besides, haven’t you helped in the past?" Xu Ping’an said indifferently.
"You call senior to humiliate ?" Song Xue looked at Xu Ping’an.
"Huh? So, what should I call you? Lady Snow King?" Xu Ping’an said with a smile.
"Just call Song Xue. Now that your strength surpasses mine, I dare not have you address as ’my lord,’" Song Xue said helplessly.
Back then, when she had first t Xu Ping’an, he was only at the Seventh Rank.
Now, Xu Ping’an’s combat power had reached the peak of Demi Immortal, and with a single hand, he could easily crush her.
Song Xue found this change sowhat difficult to accept.
Xu Ping’an knew what Song Xue was thinking and simply smiled without saying much.
"By the way, Xu Ping’an, I’ve been wanting to ask if you would be willing to join the Human Dao Alliance?" Song Xue asked.
"I won’t join," Xu Ping’an replied directly.
If before he had felt so fondness for the Human Dao Alliance,
since Xue Hu said those words, that fondness had disappeared.
Even though he didn’t know if Xue Hu’s words were true, they were probably close to the mark.
Now he had no trust in the Human Dao Alliance whatsoever.
"I guessed as much. Since you’ve refused, let’s just leave it at that," Song Xue said with slight disappointnt.
Xu Ping’an didn’t say much but turned to Tang Qingyu and asked, "Have you joined the Human Dao Alliance?"
Tang Qingyu shook her head: "No, I’m actually part of the Eternal Palace now, and technically, I’m one of your subordinates."
"Eternal Palace?" Xu Ping’an had almost forgotten he had such a force.
"How is the Eternal Palace doing now?" Xu Ping’an asked.
"The Eternal Palace is doing well. Based on the Hehuan Sect’s territory as a foundation and quietly expanding, plus our Shangxian Sect, the Eternal Palace has now beco the number one sect of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty. Next, we plan to annex the Tiankui Sect and their likes," Tang Qingyu said.
"That strong?" Xu Ping’an was a bit surprised.
"Of course. Counting , the Eternal Palace has several Ninth Rank experts. And with your connection to the Imperial Family of the Imperial Academy, which hasn’t opposed us, and the Imperial Academy that won’t interfere—this naturally enables the Eternal Palace to grow," Tang Qingyu explained.
Xu Ping’an nodded.
It seed he would need to pay a visit to the Eternal Palace when he returned and provide so resources for it.
Thinking about this gave Xu Ping’an a bit of a headache.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Just then, several sounds of cutting through the air suddenly ca from afar.
Xu Ping’an raised an eyebrow and imdiately revealed a trace of surprise.
"Huh, Xue Hu really did bring people here, and it seems to be a big fish," Xu Ping’an said in surprise to himself.
A hint of amusent appeared in his eyes.
He wondered what kind of gains this big fish would bring him.
As Xu Ping’an pondered, the figures of the others had already skimd across the sky above the ruins.
