Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 602 - : 602
Chapter 602: 602
A vast sealed space suddenly presented itself before their eyes.
Having just stepped off the Flying Warship, Wang Chen’s gaze swept the area, and a speculation crossed his mind.
This place must be a cave rather than a subterranean vault, for the walls around him seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, exceptionally flat and smooth.
The surface of the rock walls was embedded with Luminous Stones emitting a soft glow, evenly illuminating the entire space.
A black and brown tower stood tall in front, capturing the attention of all the Cultivators, including Wang Chen!
The Tower of Heaven-reaching?
Wang Chen was momentarily taken aback.
The shape and color of this tower were almost identical to the Ancient Sky-reaching Tower he had seen in the Secret Realm of Azure Drop Heaven.
It was just significantly shorter in height.
But it still conveyed a sense of grandeur, antiquity, and mystery!
A hint of puzzlement inevitably showed in Wang Chen’s eyes.
“This is the Tower of Heaven-reaching,”
the Ferryman declared proudly, “the Ascension Tower leading to the Haotian Realm!”
Everyone immediately became excited.
Ascending to the Upper Realm and stepping into the Immortal Domain was the lifelong dream of countless Cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Yet those who managed to do so were few and far between, so much so that when a member of the Major Sects ascended successfully, they would hold a grand and solemn celebration.
They were merely Purple Mansion Cultivators, yet they had the opportunity to ascend to divinity.
The Path to the Heavens was right before their eyes, how could they remain calm!
It was only because of the Ferryman’s Golden Core might that they refrained from making a racket.
The Ferryman led everyone to the front of the Tower of Heaven-reaching and then casually threw out a stack of silk papers.
There was precisely one for each person.
The Golden Core Cultivator spoke coldly, “Privately ferrying to the Upper Realm, fate is one’s own, risks borne by oneself, signing the contract as testament!”
It was indeed a Taoist Contract!
The content on the contract was simple, just as the Ferryman had said, the real meaning being acceptance of one’s own karma.
It also provided everyone present with one last chance to back out!
But the Cultivators who had come here had all paid a tremendous price, so how could they easily retreat?
Everyone imprinted their Dharma Seal on the Taoist Contract before returning them to the Ferryman.
Not one gave up.
After the Ferryman had checked them all, he waved his sleeve and said, “Enter!”
As soon as his words fell, the entrance to the Tower of Heaven-reaching opened with a rumble and bright light spilled out from within.
The group of Cultivators looked at each other and entered in succession.
Those daring to ascend to the Upper Realm had no shortage of courage and resolve, decisive in the face of critical moments.
Wang Chen followed the crowd into the high tower.
Although the light that shone from inside the tower was not blinding, it completely obscured the view, preventing anyone from seeing clearly what was inside.
The moment he stepped into the tower, Wang Chen felt as if he had entered a void, weightless and unable to find footing, and at the same time, he lost control of his body.
His vision filled with shifting light and shadow, as if he were traveling through an endlessly long time-space tunnel.
Although he couldn’t see others, he could hear faint murmurs from around him.
It was like a whisper, and yet similar to breathing and heartbeats.
Gradually, Wang Chen’s consciousness fell into chaos, his Divine Soul detached from his body.
…
In the Haotian Realm, Yong State, Wanli Wilderness.
Boom～
The sky was laden with storm clouds, and heavy grey clouds roiled and chafed against each other, with bolts of lightning snaking in between.
Dazzling flashes of electricity intermittently lit up vast stretches of wilderness.
The whole world seemed on the verge of collapsing!
Suddenly, a streamlined flying warship pierced through the thunderclouds and steadily descended onto the desolate wilderness.
The next moment, the cabin door opened, and numerous cultivators streamed out.
They wore uniform outfits, swiftly dispersed across the wilderness, and then drove the ritual implements in their hands into the ground.
A large array was constructed with astonishing speed.
Moments later, three brocade-clad cultivators rode out of the ship on sword light.
They hovered above the nearly completed array.
The three cultivators were very young, each of them handsome and spirited, with a hint of arrogance between their brows.
The cultivator on the left asked, “Seventh Brother, this is the right spot, isn’t it?”
“Of course.”
The inquired cultivator curled his lips up confidently and said, “This is the result of my father asking the old ancestor to divine. This year’s piglets from the Mountain and Sea Realm will fall right here!”
“Seventh Brother.”
The cultivator on the right rubbed his hands excitedly, pleading, “Can I pick an extra one?”
“What are you thinking?”
Before Seventh Brother could answer, the cultivator on the left could not help but interject, “It’s already great that you’re given three piglets. Aren’t you being greedy, not afraid of bursting?”
The cultivator on the right shrank back, scolded.
Just as he was about to retort, unwilling to accept it, Seventh Brother’s expression suddenly changed, and he raised his hand to signal, “They’re coming!”
By now, the large array on the ground had been completely set up, and all the cultivators retreated to the surroundings in tight formation, ready for action.
The sky thundered violently above, with the booming sound ceaseless to the ears, as bolts of lightning struck down at the center of the array, instantly condensing into a massive light orb.
The light orb was semi-transparent, and within it, countless twisted figures could be vaguely seen.
The three cultivators in the sky had eyes shining with excitement.
This action of theirs was perfect, both the location and timing were chosen exquisitely, promising a tremendous harvest!
Three breaths later, the clouds dispersed and the thunder ceased above the sky.
The light orb on the ground burst without sound or warning.
Hundreds of cultivators revealed their forms, some seated, some standing, all with a look of confusion.
“Hahaha!”
Seventh Brother, observing from above, burst into loud laughter, his eyes filled with extreme greed as he stared at the cultivators.
“Gentlemen, welcome to the new world!”
“Engage!”
As soon as the words fell, the array surged into action!
And just as Seventh Brother was declaring victory, Wang Chen among the crowd snapped out of his dazed state.
Although he had not seen the three cultivators in the sky nor did he realize he was in a massive trap.
Yet, his intuition gave Wang Chen the utmost warning, sending chills down his spine, as if he had fallen into an icy abyss.
It was this innate, keen intuition that allowed Wang Chen to react at least half a breath quicker than the other cultivators.
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chen immediately activated the talisman in his hand.
This talisman had been quietly taken out before entering the Tower of Heaven-reaching and was held in his hand just in case.
Indeed, Wang Chen’s cautiousness was proven entirely correct!
The talisman disintegrated in an instant, and a brilliant spiritual light enveloped Wang Chen’s entire body, in a flash piercing through the not yet fully unfolded barrier of the array, vanishing into the vast wilderness beyond.
Almost at the same moment, countless spiritual lights flew in all directions.
It was like poking a hornet’s nest.
Without a doubt, Wang Chen was not the only one who had come prepared!
Seeing such a scene, Seventh Brother, who thought he had the winning ticket, felt as if he had been slapped hard across the face, and he bellowed, “Chase them, a reward of five hundred Middle Spirits for capturing one!”
A massive hunt thus began!
