Companion Divine Artifact, Ascending Sky Peak Tower

Seeing Po Jun Ancestor flying rapidly toward him,

Su Changge hurriedly looked to the Returning Origin Holy Master. "Holy Master, I put on that demonstration specifically for you just now. You can't just stand by and watch me die!"

But what kind of person was the Returning Origin Holy Master?

He was a master at changing faces!

The Returning Origin Holy Master quickly caught on and hastily adjusted his expression, looking as though he knew nothing at all. "What demonstration for me? Changge! How could someone so young lie?"

"If you keep this up, I'll have to lecture you. What if such a huge commotion frightened the disciples?"

"Ah, you really make people worry!"

"Well, I have something to take care of. I'll be leaving first!"

After saying that, the Returning Origin Holy Master actually ran off in a puff of smoke!

This maneuver left Su Changge a little dumbfounded! Little question mark, did you have many friends?

"Changge, tell me what exactly happened." At this moment, Po Jun Ancestor had also arrived before Su Changge.

His face was stern, exuding an even greater sense of authority.

After Su Changge gave him a thorough explanation,

Po Jun Ancestor finally understood the whole story.

"Let me see that sword of yours."

"Please inspect it, Ancestor." Su Changge once again summoned the Azure Heaven Sword from the system space.

The instant he saw the Azure Heaven Sword, Po Jun Ancestor's pupils contracted, and even his soul trembled slightly!

He actually felt afraid!

One had to know that the stronger one's cultivation, the keener one's perception of the Great Dao. From this sword, he sensed a trace of the Heavenly Dao's intent!

"Ancestor?" Su Changge was somewhat puzzled.

Wasn't he here to inspect the sword?

Why was he standing there without moving?

Only after a long while did Po Jun Ancestor gradually recover, yet he still found it difficult to snap out of his shock!

"Changge, where exactly did this sword come from?"

"Reporting to Ancestor, after I awakened my Saintly Body, this sword was born from within my bloodline." Su Changge answered without hesitation. This was the excuse he had prepared long ago.

At those words, Po Jun Ancestor's expression changed again, and the horror in his eyes was impossible to conceal.

"Th-this is a Companion Divine Artifact!"

Su Changge was utterly baffled. Had the thing he casually made up somehow come alive again?

Fearing that his deduction might be wrong, Po Jun Ancestor examined it once more.

Only after quite some time did he finally calm himself.

Po Jun Ancestor muttered, explaining, "A Companion Divine Artifact is a bloodline divine weapon born when a person's talent reaches its utmost limit."

"Such people possess a talent in their chosen path that is rarely seen even across the ages."

"Several thousand years ago, such a person was born. A Divine Spear emerged from his bloodline, and later, his talent in the spear path suppressed all heavens!"

"When his spear moved, the winds and clouds changed!"

"When his spear thrust forth, heaven and earth perished!"

"After becoming a Great Emperor, he even proved immortality through the spear path and became a legend."

After saying that, Po Jun Ancestor looked at Su Changge with burning eyes again. "Changge, the sword born from you is even more terrifying."

"I sensed a trace of the Heavenly Dao's essence from it. Your future achievements will surely be even more terrifying than that man's!"

"If anyone asks where this divine weapon came from, say that I, your Ancestor, bestowed it upon you. You must not let even the slightest word of this leak!"

"Yes, Changge understands."

Su Changge knew that Po Jun Ancestor was doing this to protect him better.

He was even taking all the responsibility upon himself.

To be honest, Su Changge felt a warmth in his heart.

"Enough. This matter is over. Let us settle another matter."

"You caused such a huge disturbance. Were you trying to overturn the Holy Land?"

Su Changge was dumbfounded again. Was this settling accounts after the autumn harvest?

"If you truly have nothing better to do, then go challenge Sky Peak Tower. You are the Divine Son now. If you don't display your talent, how will you make certain people shut their mouths?"

Hearing the Ancestor's words, Su Changge immediately understood.

The disturbance just now had been far too great. There were probably people in the Holy Land who were dissatisfied.

Po Jun Ancestor hoped that he would display his talent in a simpler and more brutal fashion, making those with ulterior motives shut up.

"Yes, this disciple knows his mistake. Thank you, Ancestor, for your punishment."

Po Jun Ancestor nodded in satisfaction. "I have already prepared the Divine Crane for you. Go and show yourself boldly. We old fellows will always have your back."

"Yes, Changge will not fail his mission."

Po Jun Ancestor had revealed quite a lot with those words. It seemed the Ancestor wanted him to cause a huge stir—the bigger, the better.

It would be best if he stirred the winds and clouds. If anyone came looking for trouble with him, they would first have to ask whether the ancestors of the Returning Origin Holy Land agreed!

"The Divine Son is ascending Sky Peak Tower!"

"How many levels do you think the Divine Son can reach?"

"Sky Peak Tower has nine heavens. One floor, one heaven; every heaven holds great terror."

"The higher one goes, the pressure increases geometrically! Many Holy Sons of the Holy Land can only reach the fifth floor! Even First Saint Son Ye Lintian only reached the seventh floor."

"Yeah, in all my memories, no one has ever gone beyond the seventh floor. I think the Divine Son should be able to reach the eighth floor, right?"

"The higher the floor one reaches in this tower, the greater one's potential. There is also a legend that a tenth floor exists! If someone reaches it, the Sky Peak Tablet will appear. By leaving their name upon it, they can learn their future fate and destiny!"

"I've heard that one too!"

The many disciples of the Returning Origin Holy Land discussed it incessantly. It was said that Sky Peak Tower had existed since ancient times and was unfathomably mysterious, with countless legends and tales surrounding it.

At this moment, Su Changge, the center of attention, had already arrived.

Looking at the Sky Peak Tower before him, which soared straight into the clouds, he saw an awe-inspiring structure whose end could not be seen at a glance!

"Interesting. It dared to use heaven in its name. Let's see what it can really do." Su Changge pushed open the heavy doors and strode inside.

He first passed through a long tunnel. The surroundings were pitch-black, while a glow slowly emerged ahead.

He entered the illuminated place.

It was as though he stood in the center of a vast plaza, surrounded by boundless white mist. This mist gave off an unfathomable, mysterious feeling.

Looking upward, it was as though he were at the bottom of an ancient well, with nothing but a stretch of white at its end.

Su Changge stepped onto the stairs hidden within the white fog and faintly felt an invisible force pressing down upon him.

But to him, it was exceedingly weak, like a grain of dust landing on his body, incapable of affecting him at all.

Just as those settings always go, every step upward should bring stronger pressure. Su Changge could not help sighing. What a rigid fantasy setting.

Ding! A new choice mission has been detected.

Choice One: Reach the fifth floor of Sky Peak Tower.
Reward: Dragon Transformation Elephant Control Skill

Choice Two: Reach the ninth floor of Sky Peak Tower.
Reward: Three Thousand Weak Waters Art

Choice Three: Reach the tenth floor of Heaven's Secret Pavilion.
Reward: One lucky draw.

"The tenth floor? A lucky draw?" Su Changge's heart stirred.

So Sky Peak Tower really did have a tenth floor!

This was the first time a lucky draw had appeared as an option. There might be some unexpected reward in it—he absolutely could not miss this!

Tempted by the system rewards, his speed in ascending the tower suddenly increased!

Light as a swallow, he reached the second heaven in only a moment.

But he was not finished. He kept going!

Third heaven!

Fourth heaven!

Fifth heaven!

Sixth heaven!

The disciples watching outside were in disarray. There was an array outside Sky Peak Tower, and the light dot upon it was moving at a terrifying speed!

In less than half an incense stick's time, it had already reached the sixth heaven, and its speed had not slowed in the slightest!

"Doesn't each heaven have ninety-nine steps? Did I remember wrong?"

"You definitely didn't remember wrong. I challenged it several times! Those deadly ninety-nine steps have long been etched into my bones!"

"But is the Divine Son even human?"

Some disciples found it harder than climbing to heaven just to ascend the steps of the second heaven!

Yet look at their Divine Son—he made it seem as simple as eating and drinking, and he had already crossed half of the sixth heaven!

Their hearts hurt! It was not jealousy!

It was the pain of feeling their Dao Hearts shatter inch by inch!

Sure enough, their Divine Son was telling them at every moment that they were trash!
