Chapter 2199 - 2199: The Secrets of the Three Gates of Heaven, Earth, and Man

Now that things had come to this point, Fang Tianliang still wanted to use the secret of the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates to incite everyone against Ye Qing. However, what he didn't know was that at this moment, no one was paying him any attention at all.Previously, when this matter was brought up, everyone still doubted whether Ye Qing had really hidden away something from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master. But now, after learning that the name of this Secret Manual was Returning Origin Technique, they no longer had many doubts. After all, Returning Origin Technique was connected to the Primal Mysterious Body; how could Ye Qing possibly take something this important out just to fool people?

And in fact, even if Ye Qing really wanted to produce a Returning Origin Technique to deceive people, it was basically impossible. Granted, it wasn't difficult for him to fabricate some Taoist Incantation content, but to write out an entire Returning Origin Technique—that was impossible. The Primal Mysterious Body had been lost for thousands of years; even if Ye Qing truly wanted to make something up, how was he supposed to do it?

For these reasons, plus what the Blue-robed Elder Daoist had said, everyone now trusted Ye Qing a great deal, and felt that this Returning Origin Technique really was something Ye Qing had obtained from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master.

Of course, there were still some people who remained a bit suspicious of Ye Qing, but their minds were now more focused on Returning Origin Technique, and they had no energy to pursue anything else. After all, most of the people here were near the end of their Lifespan and wanted to find a way to extend their lives. And Returning Origin Technique might very well have that effect, so why should they care about anything else? Getting their hands on this Returning Origin Technique was the most crucial thing.

Thus, not only did no one pay attention to what Fang Tianliang said, everyone instead crowded around the Blue-robed Elder Daoist, all scrambling to copy that Returning Origin Technique Secret Manual.

Seeing this situation, Wanyan Hongsheng's expression was extremely ugly. He knew very well that under these circumstances, trying to incite these people against Ye Qing again was basically impossible. Moreover, the appearance of this Returning Origin Technique was now the key issue. This Returning Origin Technique was very likely related to the Primal Mysterious Body of the Taoist Sect, and might allow these people to extend their Lifespan. And this was precisely what the Wanyan Family least wanted to see, so he had to find a way to seize this Primal Mysterious Body first.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Wanyan Hongsheng quietly took a step back and pulled out his phone to send a text message to the Seventh Elder. The Seventh Elder had previously told him that he had already taken the items from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master and had told him to come get them. However, the Seventh Elder hadn't said exactly what those things from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master were. Under the current circumstances, Wanyan Hongsheng could only ask the Seventh Elder to clarify.

He hit send, but after quite a while, the message still hadn't gone out. This made Wanyan Hongsheng frown slightly; he didn't know that the Seventh Elder had already removed the battery from his phone and thrown it away. Unable to get any news from the Seventh Elder, he didn't know what to do for the moment. With so many people watching, trying to snatch this Returning Origin Technique was simply impossible. Especially since they were in the manor of the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance, and Fu Qingping was still here. If he drew Fu Qingping out, his life would probably end here.

Thinking it over again and again and still unable to come up with a good plan, Wanyan Hongsheng could only blend into the crowd for the time being, intending to first see exactly what this Returning Origin Technique was about.

Everyone crowded around the Returning Origin Technique Secret Manual and had already begun copying it. Under everyone's expectant gazes, the Blue-robed Elder Daoist slowly opened the first page of Returning Origin Technique.

Most of the people present didn't know Taoist Incantation, so they naturally couldn't recognize the Taoist Incantation on the first page. However, there were still two or three who did. When they saw the contents of the first page, their expressions all changed. Especially the Blue-robed Elder Daoist—his brows instantly furrowed tightly.

At this moment, someone casually asked, "Blue-robed Daoist, what exactly does this first page say?"

Most people didn't know Taoist Incantation and couldn't understand what was written there. But they all wanted to know what it said. So after this person asked the Blue-robed Elder Daoist the question, everyone turned to look at him, waiting for his translation.

The Blue-robed Elder Daoist frowned deeply, slowly turned his head toward Fang Tianliang, and said in a low voice, "Fang Tianliang, just now didn't you say Mr. Ye hadn't brought out that secret regarding the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates?"

"That's right, I said it!" Fang Tianliang shouted. "What, you're only now starting to realize something's wrong? That guy Ye is completely lying to you, and you're only realizing it now?"

"Then take a look at what this page says!" The Blue-robed Elder Daoist picked up the ancient book and held the first page up to Fang Tianliang.

Of course Fang Tianliang couldn't understand what was written there, but in the back of the crowd, Wanyan Hongsheng's face changed. He also didn't know what it said, but that question the Blue-robed Elder Daoist had just asked let him vaguely guess that the contents of this first page were definitely related to the secrets of the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates.

If Wanyan Hongsheng had still harbored some doubts about this Returning Origin Technique before, by now he had basically none left. Since the secrets of the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates were in this ancient book, then this ancient book definitely came from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master. It was just that he still couldn't figure out why Ye Qing would be willing to hand over something this important.

"What does it say?" Fang Tianliang asked loudly. He wasn't thinking as far ahead as Wanyan Hongsheng, so he hadn't yet realized that something was off.

The Blue-robed Elder Daoist lifted the ancient book a bit higher, holding it up for everyone present, and said loudly, "What's written on this first page is a major secret concerning the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates!"

"What?"

"The first page actually records a major secret about the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates?"

"What secret exactly?"

"Blue-robed Elder Daoist, hurry up and translate it for us!"

The crowd immediately broke into an uproar. If Returning Origin Technique had already excited them greatly, then this major secret of the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates was an even bigger surprise. To be honest, everyone's attitude toward Ye Qing had changed a lot. Who said Ye Qing was too cunning? Wasn't this very straightforward? Not only had he handed over the Returning Origin Technique Secret Manual, he had even given up the secret of the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates. A man this straightforward was hard to come by.

Fang Tianliang, however, stared dumbfounded at the ancient book, stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses and shouting, "You… how do you know this is a major secret of the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates? Who… who knows if this isn't just made-up nonsense?"

"You still refuse to give up even now?" The Blue-robed Elder Daoist sighed and said, "Since everyone wants to know, I'll translate it for you."

Everyone immediately cheered excitedly. Being able to learn the major secret of the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates was, to them, an even more joyous matter.

The Blue-robed Elder Daoist, however, was not as happy as they were. He took a deep breath and said in a clear voice, "What's written here about the major secret of the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates is this: during the Era of the Turmoil of the Three Stars of Sirius, when the Killing Wolf TriStar gather, the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates will all be opened!"

"All be opened? Does that mean all three gates will open?" someone immediately asked excitedly.

"Of course it means they'll all be opened!"

"So that means this time, more than one person will enter the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates!"

Everyone was overjoyed. If only one gate opened and only one person could enter, then their chances would be much lower. But if all three gates opened, then there would be three spots. In that case, their chances of entering the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates would be much greater.

The Blue-robed Elder Daoist sighed and said, "Don't be happy too soon; there's more afterward."

"Blue-robed Daoist, just explain everything that's written there to us!" someone immediately said excitedly. They still didn't know why he was sighing over and over.

"Alas!" The Blue-robed Elder Daoist shook his head and said, "And after the Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Gates all open, the world will plunge completely into chaos. Various Gods will descend to the human world, bringing calamity to all living beings, and no one will escape!"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. After quite a while, someone finally muttered, "What does that mean?"

"Isn't it obvious?" another person said quietly. "It clearly says that after the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates open, the world will fall into complete chaos, and no one will be able to escape!"

"I get that, but what does 'Various Gods will descend to the human world' mean?"

"Do Gods really exist in this world?"

"Is this the major secret of the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates?"

The crowd continued to discuss, and what puzzled them most were these two points: the world falling into chaos, and the Descent of the Gods. In fact, their doubts were the same as Ye Qing's when he first saw that Stele in the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master. Back then, Ye Qing had also wondered whether there really were Gods in this world, and how exactly the world was supposed to fall into such chaos.

Standing in the back, Wanyan Hongsheng's expression kept shifting. He had thought that the major secret of the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates would be about what exactly was stored inside them. He hadn't expected the "big secret" to turn out like this. While puzzled, he also felt rather disappointed. The people of the Wanyan Family had always tried to seize the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, and wanted to first obtain the items from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master so they could gain some understanding of the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates in advance. Unexpectedly, they had learned nothing about the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates themselves and had instead gotten this kind of message. Naturally, he felt disappointed.

"Blue-robed Daoist, is it that you translated it wrong, or that we heard it wrong?" Amid the uproar, someone suddenly shouted, "What do you mean 'the world falls into chaos' and 'Various Gods descend'? What is that supposed to mean? There are no Gods in this world!"

The crowd all joined the clamor, staring at the Blue-robed Elder Daoist, each suspecting that he might have misread it.

"If it were just me misreading, that would be one thing. But I'm not the only one here who understands Taoist Incantation; could the others also have misread it?" The Blue-robed Elder Daoist raised the ancient book high and said loudly, "I'd like to ask the other friends here who know Taoist Incantation to come and take a careful look, to see whether I, the Blue-robed Elder Daoist, have indeed misread it!"
