Chapter 1061: The Fish Leaps The Heaven’s Gate, Forgotten Peak Receives Visitors

“Sixty years have passed. The Heaven’s Gate shall open...”

Jiang Yunlai said while watching the Sexagenary Dragon Koi swimming here and there inside the Heavenly Pond.

As if on cue, the Sexagenary Dragon Koi in the Heavenly Pond leaped into the air, its mountain-sized tail so big that it actually blotted out the sky and cast a shadow upon the entire peak for an instant.

The next moment, the Sexagenary Dragon Koi’s tail shattered the sky like glass and opened what looked like a portal into the void. Then, it crashed back into the lake.

Rumble...

The noise was absolutely deafening, and the entire Heavenly Pond Peak shook as if it was threatening to collapse. The Sexagenary Dragon Koi’s descent had caused such a flash that it looked as if the lake water was flowing in reverse, shooting into the air and blotting out the sky once more.

Cries of shock and astonishment filled the peak for a time. Without exaggeration, some of them would suffer serious injuries if the lake water fell back to the ground and hit them.

Of course, their worries were completely unfounded. Instead of falling back to the ground, the lake water briefly circled the sky before condensing into nine water dragons.

Dancing and roaring from time to time, the nine water dragons then joined together to form a gate.

The gate was massive, tall, and mysterious. Embedded in the sky, it made everyone on Heavenly Pond Peak feel as small and powerless as an ant.

So that’s the Heavenly Gate...@@@@

The same thought crossed everyone’s mind.

“It is noon, so what else are you waiting for?”

When the sun finally reached the zenith, Jiang Yunlai suddenly shouted, “Leap the Heaven’s Gate!”

At the same time, the Sexagenary Dragon Koi in the Heavenly Pond swam faster and faster. It eventually got to the point where a gigantic whirlpool had taken form in the lake water in the Heavenly Pond[1].

As soon as Jiang Yunlai shouted, the Sexagenary Dragon Koi leaped out of the water while its whirlpool followed closely behind like guards.

As the Sexagenary Dragon Koi soared through the air, its body grew longer and longer as if it was transforming into a divine dragon.

By the time it got close to the Heaven’s Gate, the Sexagenary Dragon Koi looked like the spitting image of a divine dragon except for the fact that it had no claws and no horns. Its power was great, and the world quaked in fear.

The next moment, the Sexagenary Dragon Koi struck the Heaven’s Gate with the weight of many mountains.

There was no sound, but the clouds were rolling madly like tidal waves. At the same time, everyone on the peak was struck by a wave of dizziness. Their vigor churned as if they had just been struck by lightning.

The Heaven’s Gate... did not budge even a little. It was the Sexagenary Dragon Koi who was sent flying, its head split open as blood and scales rained all over the peak.

“ROAR!!!”

Unwilling to give up, the Sexagenary Dragon Koi let out another long roar that sounded like an amalgamation of a fish and a dragon’s cry. Then, it slammed the Heaven’s Gate once more.

Its strength had grown, and it was supported by a vast amount of fortune. Growing even more excited, the Sexagenary Dragon Koi roared and attacked the Heaven’s Gate a fourth time.

For a time, the world kept thumping, and the winds and clouds kept blowing. It was like a scene straight out of a painting.

While everyone was absorbed in the Sexagenary Dragon Koi’ challenge of the Heaven’s Gate and transformation into a divine dragon, a group of uninvited guests had appeared at the normally forgotten Forgotten Peak.

They numbered around twenty people or so, and they were all wearing black[2]. They did not exchange words with each other despite arriving at the foot of Forgotten Peak. They simply slipped inside like phantoms.

After entering the Forgotten Peak, the group split into teams of two and scattered in every direction. They were gone in just the blink of an eye.

Beneath the gigantic stele in front of the Kunlun Tomb, the Elder Tomb Keeper whose seven orifices were sealed looked up all of a sudden. “More intruders, but...”

“Why are there so many?”

The Elder Tomb Keeper’s eyebrows were knitted together tightly. It was because he sensed a lot of intruders within the Forgotten Peak.

“I see. It was premeditated.”

Something clicked in the Elder Tomb Keeper’s mind, and his expression gradually darkened.

He could sense that the group of intruders were quite strong. The weakest of them was a late-stage Spirit Master, and the strongest of them were Truemen or Grandmasters.

If this was any other time, this group would not have posed a threat whatsoever. The Tomb Keepers alone could have slain all of them. However, two days ago, he received word that rumors regarding the Kunlun Ruins had suddenly popped up all over the place. At the same time, countless people were inquiring and looking into the Kunlun Ruins.

The Kunlun Ruins was the West Kunlun’s top secret. No one except the Sacred Lord, the Left and Right Sect Masters, and the Tomb Keepers had the right to know about it. No one else was allowed to know, much less outsiders.

That was why he dispatched the Tomb Keepers to silence those who were looking into the Kunlun Ruins immediately. Unfortunately, they were unable to capture the mastermind despite succeeding.

In any case, the Elder Tomb Keeper did not hesitate to dispatch his Tomb Keepers to investigate the rumors. The problem was that far more people were looking into the Kunlun Ruins than before, and they were scattered all over the place as well. He had no choice but to dispatch more Tomb Keepers to avoid missing a spot or something.

As a result, Forgotten Peak was quite defenseless right now. There were barely a handful of Tomb Keepers left in the Forgotten Peak, and they were no match for the intruders.

It could not be a coincidence that these people had shown up exactly when the Forgotten Peak was at its weakness.

This could only mean that the sudden outbreak of rumors regarding the Kunlun Ruins wasn’t an accident as well. It was a ploy to lure away the bulk of the Tomb Keepers and ensure the success of today’s infiltration.

Not only that, the time the intruders appeared was also the time the Sexagenary Dragon Koi challenged the Heaven’s Gate and transformed into a true dragon. As this matter directly impacted the future and fortune of West Kunlun, the large majority of the sect’s forces were gathered at that location.

Besides that, the fortune of the entire West Kunlun was gathered at the Heavenly Pond Peak in order to assist the Sexagenary Dragon Koi in evolving into a true dragon. The rivers of fate were stirred beyond recognition as a result, making it impossible for anyone to notice what was going on at Forgotten Peak unless he contacted someone.

All things considered, he had to admit that the timing of the infiltration was impeccable.

1. If some of you are like nani, why is there still water in the lake after that stupidly big splash, remember that the lake is inexhaustible. ☜

2. ... At noon? I know the Forgotten Peak is situated in an overcast valley or something but come on. ☜
