Gate of Immortality

Chapter 194: Things turning Wrong!

A sweet aroma drifted in the room as Yang Shi's mind became calm. He also prepared thirty six silver needles. He took off his clothes as he inserted needles in his acupoints.

For the final acupoint, He inserted the needle on his forehead. He inhaled the aroma from the incense stick as he revolved his Internal Energy. His meridians pulsed as he focused all of his Internal Energy on his forehead.

" Eight Lower Hall Acupoints, Open!

" Eight Middle Pass Acupoints, Open!"

" Eight Direction Acupoints, Open!"

" Eight Trigram Acupoints, Open!"

Yang Shi gathered his Internal Energy in those acupoints. It was pale golden in color as it condensed in thirty two points in his body.

It was like thirty two small cyclones, which revolved constantly. His body was currently devoid of Spiritual qi. Only internal energy surged in his body.

As time passed, the revolution of internal energy became stronger. From a mountain brook, It turned into a massive surging river.

" Thirty Two bridge connects to Three palaces.

" Nether Hell Palace, Open!"

" Mortal Realm Palace, Open!"

" Celestial Heaven Palace, Open!"

His internal energy roared as it lit up the Three palace acupoints. These acupoints were connecting three vertical points on the body- Dantian, Heart, and Mind.

He controlled the internal energy as it rushed to his forehead.

" Gate of Soul!" The Internal energy revolved in his forehead. It was like knocking open the door.

Even with eyes closed, Yang Sho could see a thin crack of light. He made his internal energy like a hammer, knocking the crack.

" First revolution, a second revolution, Third...Thirtieth...Sixtieth... Hundred and eighth time."

His internal energy was like sea waves, crashing against an invisible wall. It was a continuous cycle, till he breaks that wall and releases the light behind it.

" Damn it! Why is this taking so much time?" Yang Shi cursed in his heart, but he didn't get discouraged. As long as he achieved his goals, time doesn't matter.

His internal energy refined after each clash as the crack of light became wider. The light was very gentle. Just looking at makes Yang Shi comfortable.

" Damn it! Just break!" Yang Shi shouted as his internal energy condensed.

*OMMMMMM*

It was like ringing to ten thousand bells, as YangShi heard a sonorous sound. It was like the start of the universe, the sound of chaos. The crack got bigger and bigger as a bright light came out.

It was like a ball of light hovering. Yang Shi could feel a mysterious connection between it and himself. 

" Ah! The light of the soul. I succeed..."

Yang Shi became happy, but suddenly, his expression changed greatly. The light suddenly flickered as suddenly as purple ray flashed. 

It was mixed with black threads as it attacked the soul of Yang Shi. It looked sinister as it formed into a dark colored talisman.

Yang Shi suddenly felt a violent pain in his mind as he collapsed.

.............................................

Samsara Emperor sat in meditating position as the atmosphere around him was still. His breathing seemed to resonate with a world. He sat there like a statue, being one with heaven and earth.

Hong'er sat in a wooden rocking chair as she was weaving something. She didn't hold any needle but she controlled golden threads of light with her fingers.

But then, His eyes snapped opened as a resplendent light came out from it. His brows creased as he stood up.

" Ahh! The tribulation of fate has arrived." Hong'er chuckled as she clapped her hands. The threads intertwined as they made a scarf.

" Those motherfuckers. They actually put a Soul Extinguishing Talisman in that brat's soul. Even my divine sense couldn't detect it." Samsara Emperor's face turned dark.

" Well, It's not unexpected. So many years have passed. There is bound to be conflict within the clan. Moreover, that brat's fortune isn't something that even heaven can tolerate." Hong'er said.

" Fate, huh... FI never bowed before fate. Aren't cultivation is about to defy fate? Since I am here, No one can touch him. Not even the heaven itself." Samsara Emperor smiled.

" You aren't thinking of doing that, are you?" Hong'er was startled. But then she sighed, " Aiiiz, How can I forgot how stubborn you are?"

" Well, A small nap wouldn't hurt anyone. It's not like that I am doing this for the first time?"

" But it may delay your matters." Hong'er teased.

" Hmm, I am not worried about that. I don't lack time." Samsara Emperor looked at the sky as he mumbled.

" Do as you wish. I am not stopping you." Hong'er shook her head as she resumed weaving the scarf.

" Haah, To think the fate tribulation would be like this. But all of this will just add more fun to the game." Samsara Emperor laughed.

" Let's see if it will be the birth of another Samsara Emperor or an unknown dragon would soar to nine heavens!"

Samsara Emperor joined his palms as a golden blast occurred.

...............................................

" Huh? Where am I?" Yang Shi opened his eyes as he looked around. But he realized that he couldn't move.

" Wait1 What the hell are these things?!" Yang Shi saw his body was bounded by purple colored chains, with black lines squirming in it. He was surprised to find that he could see his body sitting in a meditative position.

" Could it be...I am looking from my eyes of soul?" Yang Shi saw his body was very small compared to his physical body and it was giving off a gentle light.

But the purple chains were giving off a sinister vibe as it slowly devoured the light from Yang Shi's body.

" Whatever these things are, they are certainly damaging my soul. Damn it! I don't even have any soul protection technique or treasures." Yang Shi cursed.

If the chains completely devoured his soul, it would be no other than death for him. Not even heaven can save him after that.

" Samsara Emperor! Old Man, come and do something!" Yang Sji shouted. 

Suddenly, a golden stream of light erupted from his dantian as it flew directly to his forehead. 

Yang Shi saw a golden light coming at his soul as it formed a complicated rune on his forehead. The rune shone as the purple colored chains cracked bit by bit.

" BOOM" The chains burst as Yang Shi felt unbearable pain. It was like someone crushed his brain.

He felt the aura around his body diminished greatly as his body became more transparent. Although the purple chains vanished completely, Yang Shi felt his soul was almost verge of collapse.

" No, I can't die here!" Yang Shi screamed in his mind as he tried to remain conscious. The rune on his forehead flickered and it gave a gentle golden light. It slowly stabled Yang Shi's damaged soul as Yang Shi's pain lessened.

" Haah. This rune really saved me. Huh? Damn it1 Why's it's not healing my soul?!" Yang Shi's expression changed. 

Although the golden rune stabilized Yang Shi's soul, it couldn't heal his soul to its prime. It was like Yang Shi's soul was saved, but its strength was almost zero.

" If my soul remains like this, reaching Violet Palace Expansion Realm would be hard as climbing to heaven." Yang Shi cursed.

The purple chain destroyed a large part of his soul when it got destroyed. With less than half of his soul intact, Yang Shi's road of cultivation would pretty much end here.

As Yang Shi was in despair, something stuck in his mind.
