Chapter 1385 — South of the Ancestral Court's Heavenly Gate
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 3
Each of the two mountains had one side that bulged in an arc, growing ever steeper and more precipitous toward the summit, until at the peak a lone crag stabbed straight into the clouds!
The other side was incomparably sheer, perpendicular to the ground, without a trace of excess mountain body.
They were left-right symmetrical, and the gateway between them was slender, like a sliver of sky.
Between the two mountains, a strange power congealed, suffused with raging Dao fire that filled the gateway.
The deeper in one went, the more violent the Dao fire became!
This Dao fire was no ordinary thing—it was the true fire of the Great Dao formed by the two great mountains!
"The Southern Heavenly Gate!"
The consciousness of the others rippled, unable to suppress the shock and elation in their hearts. This was the true, genuine Southern Heavenly Gate of the Ancestral Court!
They had heard Shen Mu say there were four great Heavenly Gates in the Ancestral Court, and had originally harbored some doubt. They had never expected to actually see the true Southern Heavenly Gate on the reverse side of the Ancestral Court—only now did they know Shen Mu's words were no falsehood.
"How strange!"
Shen Mu's consciousness rippled as he pondered: "The Ancestral Court's Southern Heavenly Gate—why is it on the reverse side of the Ancestral Court? Could it be that the four great Heavenly Gates are not necessarily all on the front face?"
He had originally assumed that the four great Heavenly Gates, the Primordial Jade Pool, and the Ancestral Court's Jade Capital were all on the front face of the Ancestral Court, and that Shu Jun must surely know the whereabouts of these places. That was why he had used his consciousness to seek Shu Jun, to summon Shu Jun back to the front face.
After all, the reverse side of the Ancestral Court was the territory of terrifying creatures like Long Xiao. To intrude rashly would surely bring conflict with Long Xiao, and Long Xiao commanded all the primordial giants of the Ancestral Court's reverse side—a formidable power.
He was only trying to save someone; there was no need to offend such an existence.
But now it seemed that if the four great Heavenly Gates and other such places were on the reverse side of the Ancestral Court, then they too would have to enter the reverse side in their true bodies!
