Chapter 156 - Heaven Secrets Dharma Eye, Above Dao Integrati
The Heaven Secrets Book automatically flipped its pages. It had already mysteriously fused into the Heaven Secrets Book. Qi Ming could also sense the changes in the book. Unknowingly, the power of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven underwent a deep fusion with the Heaven Secrets Book.
On the first page, Qi Ming saw an image appear on it. It was like an ink painting drawing the scene of a strange door and grotto-heaven, like a miniature version of the Mystic Gate grotto-heaven.
It was a three-dimensional drawing.
Then, beside the drawing, in all directions, there were eight gates in the world.
Finally, at the end, there was the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven spirit.
Ability: Feng Shui Mystic Formation.
“Interesting.”
Qi Ming had only grasped the Heaven Secrets Book at the moment. His cultivation level was insufficient and could not completely refine it, “I can directly use the Heaven Secrets Book to mobilize the power of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven.”
“This can be considered an additional method.”
The Mystic Gate grotto-heaven was a small world. If he could mobilize the power of the Mystic Gate grotto-heaven, Qi Ming would possess power comparable to the Dao Integration realm.
In addition…
The power of the grotto-heaven was also a powerful method of the Dao Integration realm.
The eight sect masters could not open any grotto-heaven in the grotto-heaven world, so they could not be considered true Dao Integration experts.
It was quite different from the real deal.
“As for you…”
Qi Ming looked at the Eight Sect Masters kneeling on the ground.
“We are willing to be punished.”
The Eight Sect Masters had already given up resisting.
“Okay.”
Qi Ming’s eyes flashed as he shouted, “Then activate the Mystic Gate Technique. Open your minds and don’t resist. Do you understand?”
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
“…”
The eight sect masters said in unison.
The Mystic Gate Technique circulated.
“Heaven Secrets Dharma Eye.”
Swish!
With a thought, Qi Ming held the Heaven Secrets Brush in his right hand and gently drew between his brows. A vertical mark appeared, like it was formed by runes, like an eye.
Then, Qi Ming saw their fate aura on the eight sect masters.
At the peak, Patriarch Heaven Secrets used his supreme Dharmic powers and paid a considerable price to forcefully intercept a wisp of fate from the Mystic World and fuse it into the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush.
Qi Ming could use the Heaven Secrets Brush to activate his Heaven Secrets Dharma Eye and see the fate of the eight sect masters, but this method actually had many restrictions.
The first restriction was that if his realm and cultivation were insufficient, and he forcefully activated the Heaven Secrets Dharma Eye,he would suffer the backlash of fate. There were many possibilities for the backlash.
For example, he would be unlucky for some time.
Of course, Qi Ming used the Purity Golden Body to protect himself and was immune to all methods. Coupled with the fact that Qi Ming cultivated the Three Pure Dao Scripture, although his cultivation level was only at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, with the enhancement of the Great Dao True Intent of Heaven and Earth, as long as he did not overly use the Heaven Secrets Dharma Eye, he would not suffer the backlash of fate.
The second restriction.
Normally speaking, the Heaven Secrets Dharma Eye could only spy on existences whose cultivation levels were lower than his. If he forcefully spied on existences whose cultivation levels were higher than his, he might be devoured by the other party’s fate, causing him to be in huge danger. His Essence Soul might even be heavily injured or discovered by the other party.
That was why Qi Ming asked the Eight Sect Masters not to resist.
The third restriction.
Although the Heaven Secrets Dharma Eye could peer into fate, it could not rely on it too much, much less attempt to control it. It would suffer the most terrifying backlash.
There was a saying that those who controlled fate would always be tricked by fate.
There was another sentence: When one stared at the abyss, the abyss would also stare at them.
“Heaven Secrets Brush.”
With a thought, Qi Ming injected Dharmic powers into the Heaven Secrets Brush and mobilized the power of the Heaven Secrets Brush. Coupled with the power of the Heaven Secrets Book, he used the brush like a blade and gently slashed above the heads of the eight sect masters.
“Cut.” Qi Ming shouted.
Somehow, Qi Ming used the Heaven Secrets Brush to intercept a wisp of fate from the eight sect masters and further fused them into the Heaven Secrets Book.
The Heaven Secrets Book flipped.
The first page was unfolded.
The scene changed again.
On the pattern of the Mystic Gate grotto-heaven, there were eight gates. It also displayed the basic situation of the eight sect masters, including their names, background, identity, realm, cultivation method, and so on.
If Qi Ming was willing to pay the price, he could directly activate the Heaven Secrets Brush and draw on the Heaven Secrets Book. He could completely destroy the fate of the eight sect masters.
At that time, under the backlash of fate, the eight sect masters would die on the spot.
Qi Ming would also suffer the backlash of fate, but it would be much smaller. Moreover, he had the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush to withstand most of the backlash.
In other words, the life and death of the eight sect masters were completely in Qi Ming’s hands.
“Greetings, Master.”
The hearts of the eight sect masters jolted. They returned to their senses. In the unseen world, they also felt the connection between themselves and the Heaven Secrets Book and knew that their lives were completely in Qi Ming’s control.
Qi Ming nodded and carefully checked the situation of the eight sect masters.

Then, at the end of the first page of the Heaven Secrets Book, there was another sentence.
Sect Masters of the Eight Gates: Uses the Mystic Gate Technique, seizes the fortune of heaven and earth, changes the landscape, and complements the spirit of the grotto-heaven. They can set up the Mystic Gate Village and evolve an array formation space.
“Not bad.”
Qi Ming nodded in satisfaction.
This way, Qi Ming controlled the eight Sect Masters of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven. The eight Sect Masters submitted to him. Their lives were in his hands. Coupled with the fact that the spirit of the grotto-heaven had been subdued, he naturally completely controlled the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven.
Next, under the lead of the Eight Gates Sect Masters, Qi Ming walked around the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven and flipped through the cultivation methods and various books of the Eight Gates of the World. He had a deeper understanding of the Mystic Gate Technique.
Three days later.
Qi Ming left the Mystic Gate grotto-heaven.
He brought out all the sect masters.
The scene changed.
In the Heaven Secrets Manor, in the courtyard, space fluctuated.
Qi Ming walked out of the oval black vortex door that was about three meters in diameter.
Su Qimen was the first to appear. “Greetings, Young Master.”
Shangguan Wenge appeared not far away like a ghost and walked over, “Young Master, how’s the situation in the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven? It seems that you did not obtain anything.”
“But it’s fine, at that time, I’ll go with you. I guarantee that I can help you completely subdue the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven.”
Behind Qi Ming, one after another, figures appeared one after another.
They were the eight sect masters of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven.
“Master.”
The Eight Sect Masters bowed to Qi Ming.
“This…”
Shangguan Wenge’s expression froze on the spot, “This… How is this possible? Dao Integration! All of them are in the Dao Integration realm! Could it be that the eight sect masters of the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven have all been subdued by Young Master?”
“Hahaha…”
Su Qimen was also shocked. He returned to his senses and immediately laughed, “I knew that Young Master is peerless in the world. It’s only a mere Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven. It’s easy to subdue it.”
“Congratulations to Young Master for subduing the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven.” Su Qimen bowed.
“Congratulations… congratulations, Young Master…”
Shangguan Wenge could not calm down.
This was the Dao Integration realm.
They were true Dao Integration experts.
Now, Qi Ming had gone to the Mystic Gate Grotto-heaven for only four days. He had actually brought back the eight Sect Masters. Every one was a Dao Integration expert.
Qi Ming was only in the Nascent Soul realm!
Shocking.
It was simply too shocking.
This was much more shocking than defeating the late-stage Soul Formation realm Han Yun in front of everyone.
Qi Ming nodded and looked at the eight sect masters, “In the future, stay in the Heaven Secrets Manor and adapt to the surrounding environment in the next period of time.”
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
“Master, don’t worry.”
“…”
The eight sect masters said.
They were very excited now. After tens of thousands of years in the Mystic Gate grotto-heaven and reaching the Dao Integration realm, they had been affected by the grotto-heaven world. Coupled with the cultivation technique, it was difficult for their cultivation levels to increase.
They had always wanted to leave the Mystic Gate grotto-heaven and come to the Mystic World to broaden their horizons. They wanted to break through their current cultivation and reach a higher realm.
Above the Dao Integration realm was the legendary Tribulation Transcendence realm.
It was impossible to transcend the tribulation in the grotto-heaven world. One had to enter the Mystic World to welcome the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation under the witness of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao.
If they passed, their cultivation levels would naturally increase and step into a new world.
However, if they did not cross it, they would die and their Dao would dissipate, turning to ash.
There was no second possibility.
There was no such thing as their Nascent Soul escaping to become an Itinerant Immortal.
Failure meant death.
Of course, the Tribulation Transcendence realm was still too far for Qi Ming now. He was only at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm and had not broken through to the Leaving Aperture realm. In the following period of time, while Qi Ming studied the Heaven Secrets Book and the Heaven Secrets Brush, he was also AFK Farming and had always stayed in the Heaven Secrets Manor.
