The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven MEMORY LIBRARY
The boundary between the cosmic conflict involving Lingfeng, Orochi, and the various guardians had somehow intersected with Zhao Lingyun's journey at the border tower. What was meant to be a mission to stabilize dimensional instabilities had led him to encounter the Tester—an entity capable of assuming the forms of those closest to him.As Zhao Lingyun stood facing the shapeshifting entity wearing his brother's face, he felt a resonance with forces far beyond his comprehension. The border tower wasn't merely a structure—it was a nexus point, a living consciousness that had been observing the eternal dance of creation and destruction for eons.The blue and gold energy lattice that had bound Orochi now manifested subtly along the tower's interior walls, pulsing with the same rhythm as the jade talisman at Zhao Lingyun's side. Perhaps this was no coincidence—perhaps this "test" was somehow connected to the greater cosmic balance that Lingfeng, Mei Lihua, Lady Yingshu, Elder Wu, and the m
The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven MIRROR OF TRUTH
“Are you really sure about that?” the replica smiled sarcastically. “Or is that just what you want to believe?”Zhao Lingyun stared at his reflection intently. There was something that bothered him about the way the replica spoke-as if it knew something that Zhao Lingyun himself wasn't aware of.“I know myself,” Zhao Lingyun replied firmly, though there was a faint hesitation in his voice.“Really?” The replica stepped closer, each step making the room vibrate subtly. “Let's see how well you know yourself.”The replicant raised his hand, and one of the glass walls turned into a clear screen that displayed a series of images:Little Zhao Lingyun, standing at the door of his father's study, eavesdropping on a conversation about the Zero Point.Teenage Zhao Lingyun, secretly studying the forbidden scrolls on darkness cultivation in the clan library.Zhao Lingyun now, watching Lin Fengtian from a distance, with a gaze that was mixed between affection and... something darker.“Stop it!” Zh
The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven SECRETS AT THE ORIGIN
Darkness.Absolute darkness, which swallowed up all light and sound. Zhao Lingyun floated in it like a leaf in the wind-with no direction, no hold.How long had he been falling? Seconds? Hours? Years? Time seemed irrelevant here.Then, in the distance, a point of light appeared. Small at first, no bigger than a firefly. But the more it fell, the bigger the light became...“Xiao-Yun.”Lin Fengtian's voice echoed in the darkness, sounding both far and near.“Lin-ge? Where are you?”“Listen carefully,” Lin Fengtian's voice continued, ignoring her question. “What you're going to see at the Origin Point... not everyone is ready to accept it. Even among the Seven Original Guardians, only three will stand by their wits after seeing the truth.”“What do you mean-”Her words were cut off as she bumped into something-or rather, through something. Like an invisible layer of water, separating the darkness from...Light.Zhao Lingyun landed on a surface that felt like glass, but when he looked dow
The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven THE BRIDGE OF CHOICE
“Xiao-Yun,” her mother's voice echoed in her mind, feeling both near and far. “You've grown so much.”“Mom?” Zhao Lingyun whispered, tears starting to pool at the corners of his eyes. “Is this really... you?”“Yes and no,” his father's voice now joined in. “We are still us, but also more than that. We've seen the truth behind all truths.”Lin Fengtian stepped forward, his sword still pointed at the Architect. “Zhao Lingyun, don't let this illusion blind you. They might be using your parents' memories, but-”“It's not an illusion, Lin Fengtian,” Original Bridge suddenly said, his voice heavy with understanding. “I can feel it too. They... really have reached a different level of existence.”Zhao Lingyun felt another pull in his consciousness-this time stronger, more urgent. And with that tug came an understanding that left him reeling.“You guys...” he stared at the Architect with widened eyes, ”you guys didn't manipulate my parents into doing that research. You... helped them achieve
The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven SACRIFICIAL CRYSTAL
Zhao Lingyun felt a strange vibration in the air as the nine golden figures began to move in formation. His instincts screamed that something terrible was about to happen, but his body seemed frozen in place-locked by a force far beyond his comprehension.“Auntie,” he whispered to Yingshu who stood tensely beside him. “What should we do?”Yingshu did not answer. Her golden eyes-the hallmark of the Fox Clan-focused on the figures before them with an expression Zhao Lingyun had never seen before. Not fear, but a kind of... painful understanding?“They're the Watchers,” Yingshu finally said, her voice almost a whisper. “Entities that existed before our cultivation system... before the boundary between heaven and earth was established.”“And now you will witness our true awakening,” the leader of the Watchers raised his hand. The air around them began to swirl, forming a golden tornado that made the ancient artifacts in the Hall of Nine Tails jingle.Bai Yuehua, who had been quietly obser
The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven RESONANCE OF DESTINY
“For every choice...” Zhao Lingyun whispered, his eyes fixed on the glowing crystal in his uncle's hand, “there must be an equal consequence.”That was the basic principle he had used when creating the Bridge of Choice. But now, looking at the Watchers who were starting to show signs of restlessness, he realized that the principle might have a much deeper meaning.“Exactly,” Zhao Liwei nodded, his eyes flashing with pride. “And what are the equivalent consequences for an entity that has existed since before the concept of consequences itself was created?”Before Zhao Lingyun could answer, the floor of the Hall of Nine Tails shook violently. The red circles on the floor began to spin, creating increasingly complex patterns with each spin.“Stop this!” the leader of the Watchers drew something that looked like a sword made of pure golden light. “You don't know what you're doing, Zhao Liwei! Giving us a 'choice' could shake the very foundation of reality itself!”“Oh?” Zhao Liwei raised
The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven METAMORPHOSIS
Zhao Lingyun raised the crystal high, letting the resonance between the three forces-the sacrificial crystal, the Bridge of Choice, and the energy of the Watchers-reach its peak. But just before the transformation began, something unexpected happened.“Wait,” a familiar voice suddenly echoed throughout the Hall of Nine Tails. “There is one thing you must know first.”All eyes turned towards the door, where Lin Fengtian stood with his body enveloped in a silvery glow-different from the golden glow of the Waiters or the red of the sacrificial crystal.“Lin-ge?” Zhao Lingyun gasped. “How did you-”“My consciousness is indeed caged.” Lin Fengtian smiled weakly, “but not completely asleep. And during that time... I saw something. Something that even the Watchers might not be aware of.”The leader of the Watchers squinted. “What do you mean, young man?”“I mean...” Lin Fengtian stepped in with strangely light steps-as if his body was lighter than air, “is that the transformation you guys ch
The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven THE FIRST
Time seemed to freeze in the Hall of Nine Tails. Lin Fengtian stood tall facing the waves of dark figures that kept popping up from the cracks in the floor, while the eight balls of light spun more and more wildly above them. Zhao Lingyun could feel such heavy spiritual pressure-it was as if the entire history of the cultivation world was trying to crush him all at once.“Xiao yun,” Lin Fengtian said without taking his eyes off the enemy before them, ”do you remember what I said about the Bridge of Choice?”“Yes, but...” Zhao Lingyun tightly grasped the crystal that still remained from the previous transformation ritual, “I'm not sure how to use it in this situation.”“The Bridge of Choice isn't just a transformation tool,” Lin Fengtian's voice changed-for a moment it sounded like a chorus of thousands of voices, before returning to normal. “It is a manifestation of the concept of choice itself. And in this situation... we need a choice that even the Watchers don't realize they have.”

SHADOWS THAT MOVE
The evening sky had been completely covered by dark clouds as Lin Fengtian stepped into Elder Yi's pavilion area. A cold wind was blowing strongly, blowing away the dry leaves and shaking the lanterns hanging along the path. The rumble of thunder could be heard faintly in the distance, promising a violent storm to come.But when Lin Fengtian arrived at the pavilion gate, he sensed something was wrong. The main door was slightly open, creaking softly in the wind. There were no guards or servants who usually stood guard out front. An eerie silence replaced the normal activity in the Elders' compound.“Elder Yi?” Lin Fengtian called softly as he pushed the door open wider. There was no answer.On high alert, Lin Fengtian stepped inside, his right hand ready on the hilt of the spiritual sword. He activated his new senses, looking for unusual conceptual distortions. What he found made him gasp-the entire pavilion was filled with traces of foreign energies swirling around like an almost inv
THE SECRET BEHIND THE FOG
Lin Fengtian was silent, the warm teacup in his grasp felt heavy. Elder Yi's direct statement struck like lightning in a clear sky. This was the moment he had been dreading since his transformation-a direct confrontation with one of the strongest cultivators in the Academy.“Elders are very perceptive,” Lin Fengtian finally replied, choosing his words carefully. “Disciple did have an... unusual experience during the last meditation.”Elder Yi sipped his tea quietly, his eyes never leaving Lin Fengtian. “You probably think I work for them,” he said suddenly, his voice almost a whisper. “For the Alliance. For... the entity that controls them.”Lin Fengtian's heart was racing, but he kept his expression calm. With his new senses, he investigated the conceptual distortions around Elder Yi-still present, but thinner compared to most people in the Academy, especially compared to Xiao Wei. This was interesting.“Disciples don't dare to be prejudiced,” Lin Fengtian replied diplomatically.Eld
A DEEP-ROOTED ILLUSION
The Full Pavilion loomed on the east side of the Purple Cloud Academy, its circular structure with a curved silver roof reflecting the movement of the moon in the night sky. Lin Fengtian stepped up the white marble stairs, each step feeling heavier than usual. Not only because of the emptiness in his soul that still felt unfamiliar, but also because of the burden of new knowledge he was now carrying.Two guard disciples bowed respectfully when he arrived at the main entrance. “Lin-shixiong, Elder Yi is waiting in the Silver Hall of Reflection,” one of them informed him.Lin Fengtian nodded and stepped inside the pavilion. The air inside felt heavier, laden with spiritual energy that had accumulated over the centuries of meditation and cultivation performed in this place. But with his new senses, he could now sense something else beneath the spiritual energy-a thin layer of conceptual distortion that was almost undetectable.Even here, he thought. The Architect's influence had infiltra
INCOMPLETE ACCEPTANCE
Lin Fengtian felt the meaning of the Balancer's words seep into every cell of his body. Incompleteness was a concept that he had always avoided throughout his cultivation journey. For a cultivator, perfection was the ultimate goal, completeness the highest achievement. But now, half of his soul had turned into a cosmic entity telling him that he must accept this incompleteness as his destiny.“Half of my soul has become part of you.” Lin Fengtian said quietly, his voice almost a whisper. “What's left of me now? Half human? Half cultivator?”The Balancer looked at him, his white eyes sparkling with an understanding that transcended time. “What's left of you, Lin Fengtian, is the purest essence of your humanity-a part that can never be divided or separated. The human soul is not like a fruit that can be cut into two identical halves. When you separate the soul, what is created are two different entities that originate from the same source.”The Shadow Master stepped forward, his face sh
FRAGMENTED REFLECTION
Lin Fengtian felt a strong impulse in his remaining soul-the existential link that connected him to the paradox of life he had just created. That connection trembled with painful intensity, like a string being pulled too tight until it was about to break. The paradoxical entity-the half of his soul that now had an independent consciousness-emitted increasingly strong distortion waves, causing the fabric of the neutral space around them to contort and twist unnaturally.“Lin Fengtian,” the Forgotten One said with an urgency rarely seen from primordial entities, ”that entity isn't just vibrating. It is... evolving.”The Shadow Master stepped forward, a defensive cultivation formation having activated around his body. “This is the reason why the Soul Shadow Separation technique should only be performed under controlled conditions,” he said in a tense tone. “Without a proper unification ritual, the separated consciousness will find its way back by any means.”“No,” Lin Fengtian denied, hi
INTER-REALITY FOG
The neutral space between dimensions looked like an endless silver mist, filled with fragments of reality floating like shapeless shards of glass. Lin Fengtian stood at the threshold of the crack, his gaze sharp and calculating while he surveyed the scene before him. Behind him, the conceptual tetrahedron formations were still rotating slowly, maintaining the balance they had just painstakingly achieved.“Creating deliberate paradoxes,” the Shadow Master said from Lin Fengtian's side, ”is a violation of the fundamental principle of Shadow Path cultivation. This is the path of no return, my disciple.”Lin Fengtian turned to his mentor. In his eyes there was a firm determination, no longer the gaze of a doubting disciple, but of a cultivator who had understood his position in the cosmic order.“Master,” he said in a respectful yet firm tone, ”sometimes cultivation paths must evolve when faced with unprecedented threats.”The Breaker stepped forward, the fragments of reality that made up
FOURTH DIMENSION
Lin Fengtian felt the air around him tremble with increasingly dense conceptual energies. The unspoken battle between the Forgotten One and the Breaker created a pressure wave that even the Documentarians began to retreat to the edges of the Hall of Nine Tails. It stood tall, a resonant center that was now on the brink of transformation-or total collapse.“We're running out of time,” the Integrator said, his voice carrying an unconcealed urgency. “The third pulse will come in a matter of moments.”Lin Fengtian closed his eyes, feeling the flow of qi in his body that was now mixed with the conceptual energies of the three cosmic entities around him. In the darkness of his meditation, he saw something unseen before-the hidden structure of the resonance they formed, like an invisible architecture that sustained reality itself.“I understand it now,” he said slowly, his eyes still closed. “This formation isn't just about balance... it's about transformation.”When Lin Fengtian opened his
SHADOWS BEHIND THE COSMIC CURTAIN
“Reset?” Lin Fengtian asked, feeling a cold wave creeping up his spine. “Partial reset... what does that mean exactly?”The Breaker floated silently, the shards of reality that made up his figure vibrating with a rhythm as regular as a cosmic heartbeat. “It means,” he finally replied, ”that any entities involved in the failed conceptual paradox will be returned to their fundamental status-with no memory, no identity formed thereafter.”The words hung in the air like a curse. Lin Fengtian felt his heart as if it had stopped beating. “You mean... I'll lose all my memories? My identity?”“And your relationship with Zhao Lingyun,” the Breaker added in a flat tone that contrasted with the severity of the implication. “Everything will go back to where it was before you met.”The Integrator, who was still maintaining a three-way resonance with Lin Fengtian and the Abandoned, emitted a wave of intense emotion-a mixture of Zhao Lingyun's sadness and the Forgotten One's conceptual understanding
PARADOXICAL RESONANCE
The Integrator nodded, then extended his hand to Lin Fengtian and the Abandoned simultaneously. “You two are the poles needed to stabilize this paradox,” he said in a voice that carried cosmic authority. “Lin Fengtian represents the potential of humanity, while the Abandoned One represents conceptual inevitability.”Lin Fengtian took a deep breath, feeling the weight of the responsibility that now rested on his shoulders. He was fully aware that the step he was taking might not have a way back. But in his mind, there was no hesitation-only determination born from his affection for Zhao Lingyun and his resolve to protect the reality he knew.“How?” Lin Fengtian asked, his voice calm despite his racing heart.“By creating a three-way resonance,” Ignored explained, the nothingness that made up his figure fluctuating with an almost rhythmic rhythm. “Me, you, and the Integrator-form a conceptual triangle that will stabilize the cracks in reality.”The Documentarians were moving faster and
