The surroundings were pitch black.
Occasionally, a few ethereal sounds echoed in the silence.
Qin Tian walked forward, not looking back, towards the endless road ahead.
At first, he felt no pressure at all.
But after an unknown amount of time, Qin Tian began to feel a bit uncomfortable all over.
An hour passed.
Qin Tian's limbs started to feel sore and numb.
For an ordinary person, this was quite normal.
However, for a cultivator who absorbed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to nourish their body, it was simply astonishing.
After all, a cultivator's strength was hundreds of times greater than that of an ordinary person.
Three hours later.
Qin Tian's strength was nearly exhausted.
The Qi Sea within his Dantian began to swirl continuously, eventually flowing into his limbs, restoring much of his strength.
He continued to move forward.
Five hours passed.
It was hard to imagine.
"Come on! Come on!"
At that moment, the corpses began to chant.
It was the same scripture that Qin Tian had heard from the twelve hundred skeletons at the entrance.
This time, the voices became very clear.
"The Dao that can be told is not the eternal Dao."
"The name that can be named is not the eternal name."
Gradually, Qin Tian managed to understand these two lines.
What was this?
Even though Qin Tian understood, he still couldn't clearly discern where this scripture originated from.
"This is the Future Sutra!"
At that moment, War God, who had remained silent until now, suddenly spoke up.
"What is the Future Sutra?" Qin Tian asked, puzzled.
War God began to explain slowly.
"The Future Sutra is a scripture stolen by a Supreme Dark Lord from the Ancient Era. It is said that within this scripture lies the Principles of Heaven and Earth! However, ever since that great demon vanished into thin air, no one has been able to discern what it truly contains."
The War God trembled as he spoke.
"Then how do you know these two lines come from the Future Sutra?" Qin Tian asked, puzzled.
"Because, in the Ancient Era, two lines from the Future Sutra were once spoken. Those lines were passed down from that time. Therefore, I can confidently assert that this scripture is indeed the Future Sutra. If you can obtain the Future Sutra, you could traverse this world at will."
The War God appeared beside Qin Tian, trembling as he looked at him.
"Is it really that powerful?"
"Of course. Back then, that Supreme Dark Lord came from a Trivial Background. However, after his father left when he was young and his mother fell gravely ill, he had no choice but to leave his village and venture into the outside world.
There, he unknowingly acquired a scripture and comprehended the Principles of Heaven and Earth from it. Thus, he rapidly became an unparalleled powerhouse, emerging from his Trivial Background to become invincible across the land.
In the end, he even found his father. Unfortunately, who would have thought that his father harbored malicious intentions and sought to unify the Ancient World? Consequently, he led his Crew into a fierce battle against his father for thirty years. Ultimately, by grasping the final volume of the Future Sutra, he defeated his father in one fell swoop and saved the world."
The Martial God Senior spoke with great excitement.
"Then why is he called the Supreme Dark Lord? Shouldn't he be regarded as a hero who saved the world?"
Qin Tian struggled to understand.
"At that point, he could indeed be considered a great hero who saved the world. However, later on, as he practiced the Future Sutra, he encountered an Inner Demon that ultimately led him to believe that this world was nothing but an illusion.
To validate these beliefs, he slaughtered all of the Supreme Champions of that time. He destroyed countless Ancient Forces, resulting in catastrophic disasters for this world. In response, all super strong beings united to defeat him."
War God sighed.
"No one expected that years later, he would rise again, slaughtering all the super strong beings who had united back then. It was as if Ancient World was submerged. Thus, everyone called him the Peerless Demon Lord.
However, he disappeared once more, and after hundreds of years, he reappeared only to vanish from this world again. No one knew where he had gone. Nor did anyone know whether that scripture was taken by him or lost in this world."
After War God finished speaking, Qin Tian's expression suddenly changed.
This hero who saved the world ultimately faced problems due to his understanding of the scripture. He even began to doubt whether this world was real.
In the end, it led to the near annihilation of all super strong beings in Ancient World.
Countless superpowers fell into decline overnight.
To call him the Peerless Demon Lord was not an exaggeration.
It seemed that the Future Sutra might not necessarily be a good thing.
It could even be a complete scam.
"Should I continue down this path?" Qin Tian asked.
"This answer can only be revealed by you. Because no one else can dictate the true answer in your heart," War God looked at Qin Tian.
"I'm sorry, but I may need to search for that scripture."
Qin Tian bowed deeply before the War God.
He craved power.
This was not a mistake.
It could not be said that Qin Tian was a bad person.
Everyone has a different perspective, and the outcomes they consider will undoubtedly vary.
No one is wrong.
The only thing that is wrong is the stance one takes.
From Qin Tian's perspective, he yearned for strength, wanting to avenge his parents and his Homeland. He also longed to catch up to Gong Xueyi's pace.
He wanted to grow into the Supreme Champion within seven years.
To personally travel to Gong Xueyi's hometown and propose marriage.
This was a path he had no choice but to choose.
The War God understood, though he did not want Qin Tian to make such a choice in his heart.
However, he would not stop him.
Only a sigh escaped his lips.
Qin Tian walked the path beneath his feet, heading towards the corpses.
The light swirled around, and Qin Tian felt dizzy once again.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself above a vast ocean.
"So, the correct way to pass through the first layer of the Ghost Gate is to walk along the path beneath my feet."
Qin Tian finally understood why some people could pass through so quickly.
Some failed at the first layer.
The reason lay in whether one dared to break the norm.
"The depths of the ocean are calling to me."
Qin Tian paused, not immediately diving into the depths of the sea.
Instead, he lifted his head and looked towards the sky, which would be overlooked by everyone else.
There, he saw the space twisting.
It seemed that a door was struggling to open.
"It appears that it really is there."
Qin Tian had a knack for capturing details that others overlooked.
This time, he had made another correct bet.
With all his strength, he flew towards the Twisted Gate high in the sky.
A stick of incense later.
He arrived at the entrance of the Twisted Gate.
"Soul Power."
Qin Tian did not hesitate and unleashed his Soul Power once more.
The immense Soul Power surged wildly at his fingertips.
Immediately, the great door strained to open.
Unfortunately, it was still not enough.
"Soul Mask."
Qin Tian spared no effort as he donned the Soul Mask. Through the mediation of the Soul Mask, his Soul Power intensified even further.
At last, the door swung open.
Qin Tian stepped inside.
The third layer of the Ghost Gate Trial.
The fourth layer of the Ghost Gate Trial.
The fifth layer of the Ghost Gate Trial.
Qin Tian had spent too much time on the first layer of the Ghost Gate Trial.
However, from that point on, his speed increased rapidly.
An hour later.
He had arrived at the seventeenth level of the Ghost Gate Trial.
"Senior, how much longer until this Ghost Gate Trial ends?"
Qin Tian had no time to focus on such matters. He could only ask War God.
War God spread his Soul Power and saw that on the entrance of the Ghost Gate, there were one thousand two hundred skeletons, with less than two hundred remaining.
The gate was also six-tenths of the way to closing.
It slowly opened.
"There should be less than two hours left."
Outside the gate, countless figures were already standing still.
These people had clearly failed.
"Alright, I still have time."
Qin Tian stepped forward and walked toward the distance.
This was a realm of Fire and Brimstone.
Within the Fire and Brimstone, there were solidified figures appearing, blocking the path ahead.
Without thinking much, Qin Tian quickly put on the Soul Mask.
In the previous challenges, he could occasionally take out the Soul Mask to pass through.
By the end, he had to take out the Soul Mask every single time.
Because without it, success was simply impossible.
"Disperse!"
The words fell.
Qin Tian's Soul Power surged wildly.
Countless solidified figures within the Fire and Brimstone dared not confront him. Even the Fire and Brimstone beneath his feet was dispersed, creating a narrow path.
Qin Tian did not look back and continued forward.
About two-thirds of the way through, the path that had been cleared beneath his feet came to an end.
Ahead of him, whether it was the solidified figures or the raging Fire and Brimstone, all were watching Qin Tian with keen eyes.
Clearly, once Qin Tian took that step forward,
they would launch their attack without hesitation.
"My Soul Power still isn't quite enough?"
Qin Tian smiled bitterly and immediately swallowed two pills that enhanced his Soul Power. These pills were not Earth Level, but they were still worth their weight in gold.
After taking the elixir, Qin Tian felt his Soul Power surge within him once again.
In fact, it even exceeded his previous limits in an instant.
Of course, this excess Soul Power would gradually dissipate over time, even if he did not use it.
Eventually, it would return to the maximum level that Qin Tian could withstand.
"Open!"
As Qin Tian spoke once more, the path between Fire and Brimstone reappeared.
The solidified figures could no longer obstruct his progress.
A moment later, he finally arrived at the end of Fire and Brimstone, standing before a weathered stone door.
"Come on! Come on!"
The call from deep within his soul reached its peak at that moment.
"Alright. I'm coming!"
With a sudden push, Qin Tian opened the stone door and stepped boldly into the Eighteenth Layer of the Ghost Gate.
In an instant, he vanished from his original spot.
