"Who exactly was that voice? And what did it mean by the reward it gave me?" Chen Sheng, having successfully advanced to the God Emperor Realm, muttered to himself.
And that woman who had suddenly vanished earlier... All of this was far too bizarre. Chen Sheng sat upright on the bed within the tower, pondering endlessly.
Suddenly, he recalled what the village chief of God Path Village had once said.
"Could it be that person?"
"That woman..."
Chen Sheng pondered for a long while, then inspected his surroundings once more. He discovered that after the woman vanished, the Demonic Qi here had also dissipated.
"Heh. Since it was all arranged beforehand, what's the point of investigating?"
"Still... the village chief was right. We cultivators must break free of all constraints and forge ahead without fear. I, Chen Sheng, will surely escape your control."
Chen Sheng relaxed. Just as he was about to leave the pagoda—
He suddenly glanced at the staircase leading to the second floor. "I wonder if it'll still stop me?"
He stepped forward and headed up the stairs.
This time, he succeeded, arriving at the second floor without any trouble.
Before him floated book after book, while Golden Light shone brilliantly all around.
At the center was an enormous transparent sphere, surrounded by floating laws.
When Chen Sheng took a step forward, intending to approach the sphere, his body began to float uncontrollably.
The sphere seemed to possess its own consciousness, as if it knew Chen Sheng wished to approach it. Before long, he arrived directly above it.
Suddenly, a streak of Golden Light shot out from the sphere and instantly enveloped Chen Sheng.
Chirp!
Boom!
Chen Sheng vanished from the second floor of the pagoda.
Within a gray, hazy space, Chen Sheng opened his eyes.
