4570 A Message from Xiao Tian Ci
Time was ruthless.
Before the appearance of the Heaven Traversing Pagoda, even Saints and World supreme powerhouses were helpless against the Heavenly Tribulation they had to face once every 10,000 years. Moreover, the Heavenly Tribulation would only become increasingly hard. Since they could not raise their cultivation base to the next level, they could only wait for death. Their paths were like a dead end.
Old Meng of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion was seriously injured during his Heavenly Tribulation 9,000 years ago and managed to survive due to luck. However, it took thousands of years for him to heal his injuries, and he never appeared in front of people again after that. For this reason, many people assumed he had succumbed to his injuries. No one knew that he had come up with a shocking plan. It was not impossible for Saints like him to carry out the plan, but very few had the courage to do so. His plan was to break into the Forbidden Realm before his next Heavenly Tribulation came and face the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation instead. He had hoped this would grant him a chance of survival.
Everyone’s expression would turn solemn at the mention of the Forbidden Realm and the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. There were many supreme powerhouses in the Outer Boundary and Myriad Worlds who broke into the Forbidden Realm and faced the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. However, all of them died. No one had ever survived the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation, hence its name.
A few peerless advanced Supreme Gods also managed to enter the Forbidden Realm, but they also did not survive the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. They had suppressed their cultivation to stay in the realm of advanced Supreme Gods, hoping that the weaker Fatal Heavenly Tribulation would grant them a higher survival rate. Alas, they still died.
Old Meng from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion did not have much confidence in his plan. However, this was his only choice, and he refused to give up without a fight until his last breath. He could not just wait for death. He might die if he faced the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation, but he would definitely die if he only waited and did nothing. It was better to take a chance no matter how slim it was. If he had a chance to live, why would he choose to die? Now that there was the Heaven Protection Talisman, he could feel his chances growing slightly bigger.
‘I really don’t have Old Meng’s courage…’ Zhao An Yi thought to himself.
After ordering his subordinates to remove the Voice Transmission barrier, Zhao An Yi did not waste time and left to look for the entrances to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda.
Unlike Old Meng, Zhao An Yi only suffered slight injuries during his last Heavenly Tribulation. He could not speak for the other Heavenly Tribulations, but he was confident about surviving his upcoming Heavenly Tribulation at the very least. As such, he still had some time left. This was also the reason he was not anxious about entering the Forbidden Realm. He planned to observe the others first to see how many would successfully become level-seven supreme powerhouses.
Many people shared the same thoughts as Zhao An Yi.
Those who were in a hurry were those like Old Meng who was not confident about surviving his next Heavenly Tribulation.
…
After leaving the Azure Cloud Saint Sect, Zhao An Yi received many messages from his acquaintances. Similar to Old Meng, they had asked him to inform them if he managed to find the entrance to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. They also promised to do the same if they found it. He naturally agreed.
Among the messages, Zhao An Yi was rather surprised by one of them. It was from a Saint whose seniority was a little higher than his.
“Little Zhao, let me know if you find the entrance to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda.”
The other party became a Saint about the same time Old Meng did. He almost died during his Heavenly Tribulation 2,000 years ago, and it was likely that he had yet to recover from his injuries.
Zhao An Yi did not expect the other party would personally come out to search for the entrance to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda.
“Old Wang, have your injuries healed?”
‘Could he have recovered from his injuries? Otherwise, how could he enter the pagoda to obtain the Heaven Protection Talisman to help him face the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation?’
“No, I’ve yet to recover,” the other party said with a hint of helplessness, “An old friend asked for my help regarding the whereabouts of the entrance to the pagoda. I’m asking on his behalf. After all, I’m not anxious to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. Little Zhao, I’ll let you know as well if he has any clues about the entrance of the Heaven Traversing Pagoda.”
Old Man Wang was almost killed by the Heavenly Tribulation 2,000 years ago and had yet to recover from his injuries. It was impossible for him to recover in just a few thousand years. As such, even if he knew the location of the entrance to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda, he still would not dare to enter it. He would have to wait until his injuries were healed. After all, his chances of obtaining the Heaven Protection Talisman were low now that he was injured. Not only that, but his injuries might worsen if he recklessly entered the pagoda. He could not afford to take such risks.
“Alright, Old Wang.”
Initially, Zhao An Yi assumed that Old Wang had recovered from his injuries due to some fortuitous encounter. As it turned out, Old Wang was only asking for a friend.
…
Similar to Zhao An Yi, many Saints and saint-rank forces began to make their move. Some wanted to find the entrance for themselves and some were helping others to look for it.
…
The Heaven Traversing Pagoda stood above the sea like before even after the appearance of the other entrances. One could still enter the pagoda from here after all.
“Heaven really spared no efforts this time… Not only did it open more than 30 entrances to the pagoda, but it’d also transport the others randomly to a World… Isn’t this to prevent me from killing them after they leave the pagoda?” Feng Qing Yang said as his eyes glinted coldly.
Duan Ling Tian was just as unhappy as Feng Qing Yang about the latest development. He had just come from Crimson Demon Ridge. Before the appearance of the latest heavenly text, he did not think he would see Feng Qing Yang again so soon after they parted.
At this time, Duan Ling Tian suddenly thought of something. His expression eased, and he said with a slight smile on his face, “Master, forget it. With your character, you won’t really kill them for no good reason even if heaven didn’t do this.”
Duan Ling Tian knew Feng Qing Yang was not one to kill indiscriminately. Moreover, their anger was due to heaven’s unfairness. Feng Qing Yang would not vent his anger on the Saints and the World supreme powerhouses. After all, the Saints and World supreme powerhouses were just heaven’s pawns.
Duan Ling Tian continued to say, “Both of us had faced many hardships to get to where we are now… If more people become level-seven supreme powerhouses, it’ll definitely motivate us to improve, right?”
Before Feng Qing Yang could reply, Duan Ling Tian suddenly received a message from Xiao Tian Ci, the Palace Master of the Golden Dragon Palace of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion.
“Lord Duan, the Saint from our Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion; Old Meng, needs to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda urgently. I know that new entrances have appeared, but can you allow him to enter through the main entrance?”
After Duan Ling Tian’s breakthrough, this was the first time Xiao Tian Ci had reached out to him. The way he addressed Duan Ling Tian had also changed completely. He was relatively familiar with Duan Ling Tian, and he had also gone to the God Defying World with Duan Ling Tian. As such, he was aware that Feng Qing Yang, who was guarding the Heaven Traversing Pagoda, was Duan Ling Tian’s master.
