I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse
Chapter 1070: Chu Gate Restriction

Chapter 1070: Chapter 1070: Chu Gate Restriction

Golden sunshine and white beaches created a picture of idyllic scenery where the sky met the sea, enrapturing all who beheld it.

You and Zhao’er casually found a relatively cool spot, your left arm around the beauty beside you, gazing at the landscape ahead in deep contemplation.

"Yun, don’t worry. He’s only borrowing that Ye Family member’s body. His powers aren’t that strong in the Human World."

As if seeing through your thoughts, Zhao’er consoled you in a gentle voice.

Looking at your partner beside you, you smiled slightly, "Right, I thought of that too. I’m not afraid of that guy. It’s just weird. I mean, it’s one thing for him to favor you in the Map of Kingdom, but why does he still do so in the real world?"

"Have you forgotten the God who was also possessing a human and got controlled by Karma Obstacles?"

An epiphany!

That’s it!

You slapped your thigh firmly, "No wonder, no wonder Mother En had us enter the Map of Kingdom before to experience a true parting of life and death."

Zhao’er rested her head on your shoulder and murmured, "Yun, we can’t afford to lose this time."

"Mhm, definitely!"

Your fist clenched tightly, your eyes blazing with fierce determination!

The selection competition ended in less than an afternoon, and as night approached, only sixteen people remained on the beach, including you. Zhao’er was already standing with Mother En.

Li Qinghua scanned the assembly and spoke, "Next, you will head to Hong County. Everyone will be grouped in pairs. You can help each other or fight amongst yourselves. Just know, out of the sixteen people here, only one will emerge victorious, and that winner will become the Young Master of Chu Sect. Once he enters and returns from the Forbidden Land, he will be the new Sect Leader of the Chu Sect!"

Meanwhile, the eight Chu Sect elders formed the Eight Trigrams Array, and as they continued chanting, eight Time-Space Doors of different colors appeared behind them.

After bidding farewell to Zhao’er and Mother En, you realized there was only one other person still standing.

He appeared to be about your age and was standing in front of a black Space Gate. Seeing you approach, he couldn’t help but smile, "I’ve been waiting for you a long time. Hurry up, or we’ll fall behind the others."

"Alright."

You nodded in agreement and once inside, you exchanged names.

"Li Muyun, a free spirit."

"Liu Yiming, a disciple of the Shocking Sect and the last one picked."

"Oh? Shocking Sect?"

Of The Eight Gates of Heaven, Shocking Sect was the only gate you hadn’t opened yet.

There was no storyline within the Map of Kingdom that seemed to stimulate the opening of the Shocking Sect, and since there was no need to go out of your way to do so, the Shocking Sect had remained unexplored.

Furthermore, the main point was that the true power of The Eight Gates of Heaven could only be used once the Seal of Truesky was activated. You and Zhao’er had not removed the seal Yun Chu had placed on you, not wanting to attract too much trouble.

As you were not familiar with each other, there wasn’t much conversation, and you both entered the black Space Gate directly.

What surprised you upon entering the gate was the endless darkness that unfolded before the two of you.

"Huh? What is this place?"

Hearing your confusion, Liu Yiming beside you explained, "My master also vied for the position of Sect Leader of Chu Sect when he was young, so he made sure to tell me beforehand. After entering the top sixteen, pairs will be sent to Hong County through Space Gates opened by the elders."

"Is this Hong County?"

"Apparently it is, but we’re not here for a vacation, so we were directly teleported into the Forbidden Land. Right now, we’re in the restriction outside the gate to the Forbidden Land. If we want to win, we need to find a way to open the Forbidden Land; otherwise, we’ll have to forfeit and admit defeat."

You thought for a moment and said, "What if no one manages to open it?"

Liu Yiming replied, "That’s simple, everyone will be deemed a failure, and the contest will start over next year. To open the Forbidden Land, you must possess great wisdom and extraordinary strength. I’m well aware of my own capabilities, so I’m just here to go through the motions. Plus, in this era, there are few who genuinely pursue that supreme position. Anyway, as long as one lives comfortably, that’s enough."

"Humph, no ambition."

At that moment, a man’s cold snort suddenly came from not too far away.

Even though he couldn’t see the man’s face, Liu Yiming quickly burst into laughter, "Oh, it’s Young Master Luo. Hey, Young Master Luo, hasn’t Li Zichen wiped you out yet?"

"Humph, in this endless darkness, no one can see anyone else. Whether that grandson Li Zichen can find me is still in question."

Upon hearing this, you couldn’t help but smile slightly, giving a good-natured reminder, "Well, just to give you a heads up, you may see endless darkness, but I can see everything clearly. I think, as long as one has the Innate Pupil Technique and is above the level of Ghost Eye, one can clearly see everything here. So that grandson Li Zichen should be able to find you quite easily."

"Damn!"

Young Master Luo naturally blurted out a swear word upon hearing this.

Speaking of which, in social interactions, you tend to prefer people who swear because they don’t hide their clumsiness and tend to express their happiness and anger directly through words and actions.

As for those wearing glasses or looking polite and scholarly, always greeting with a smile, they usually harbor ill intentions in their belly. Who knows when they will pull a knife from under their trousers and stab someone in the back.

"Haha, so staying close to my brother-in-law would be safer."

You didn’t expect to hear Su Liyan’s voice here, and immediately frowned, "Li Yan, how did you sneak in?"

"Pfft, I got in with my own strength, okay?" she retorted irritably.

"Given your personality, would you be interested in becoming Sect Leader of Chu Sect?" you asked.

"Of course not, I came here to see how you beat up that tortoise grandson Li Zichen."

Your eyebrows raised, you laughed and said, "What’s up? Did he tick you off?"

"Humph! It’s none other than Li family’s gossipy mom who convinced my parents to sacrifice my happiness for an alliance with Li Zichen."

"That’s normal." Liu Yiming shrugged, "I married one, right? If you ask me to sit face to face with her for five minutes, I’d rather kiss my Husky."

"Yeah, I feel the same. Although, Liu Yiming likes them busty and leggy. His mother forced him into marrying someone who’s flat-chested and so-so in figure. But Li Zichen is different; by the looks of it, He appears to be fully functional."

"Luo Pan, shut up!"

Su Liyan let out an angry shout, then trotted from not too far away to your side and said with a grin, "Brother-in-law, you must help me this time."

"How can I help?"

"It’s simple, the condition for Li Zichen to marry me as per the agreement with my parents is for him to become Sect Leader of Chu Sect. Hehe, as long as you beat him to a semi-invalid state, that guy will naturally lose interest in bothering Miss here."

You touched your nose and said with a smile, "Defeating him is no problem, but I can’t paralyze him. That guy might be a bit arrogant and self-centered, but no matter how you put it, he’s my cousin. If I cripple him, I wouldn’t want to explain it to my uncles."

"Right, whatever, as long as you can defeat him and prevent him from becoming Sect Leader of Chu Sect, that’s enough."

"That’s a piece of cake."

As the words left your lips, Li Zichen’s icy voice came from a distance, "Humph, such big talk."
