Rumble!
After a long while, the deafening noise gradually subsided!
The white light slowly faded, and the surroundings returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
"How strange. Why didn't that sword strike just now shatter this level?" Su Changge was somewhat dumbfounded. The force of that strike had been no weaker than the previous punch, right?
On the tenth floor, the Feather Robe Youth's face darkened. "This brat really has some nerve!"
"Fine, fine. Since he has passed the ninth floor's trial, I'll open the passage for him."
He was genuinely scared! If he had not reinforced the ninth floor's restrictive power at the last moment—
It probably would have shattered too!
"But I still have to go through the motions. Otherwise, it won't have enough style!"
With a wave of his hand, a mysterious aura spread out from Sky Peak Tower!
Looking above Sky Peak Tower again, space twisted, and divine light suddenly flashed within it!
The heavens shattered layer by layer!
An incomparably massive white Stone Tablet slowly emerged!
It was steeped in the boundless sense of passing ages!
"Lord Divine Son succeeded! The Sky Peak Tablet has descended!"
"The Sky Peak Tablet! A legendary immortal-path treasure that can divine a person's future and destiny!"
"With the Divine Son's talent, he is bound to become a towering figure in the future!"
The many disciples of the Returning Origin Holy Land all had shining eyes. The legendary Sky Peak Tablet had appeared!
What kind of surprise would their Divine Son bring them this time?
"A Stone Tablet that predicts one's future fortune? Let's see whether it's really as miraculous as they say."
Using sword qi as a brush, Su Changge had only just carved the character Su onto the Stone Tablet when it instantly began to rumble!
Crack!
A shattering sound rang out. The Stone Tablet seemed to have been affected by some unknown force, trembling and roaring without end!
With every tremor, a massive crack appeared!
"Is the Sky Peak Tablet about to shatter?"
"The Divine Son only wrote one character! Is the Sky Peak Tablet unable to withstand it?"
Even the Feather Robe Youth on the tenth floor of Sky Peak Tower had a drastic change in expression! In all his countless years, he had never seen such a scene!
"The Immortal Apex Tablet passed down from the Immortal Domain is actually breaking because of one character?"
This was a Supreme Treasure used to suppress fortune. By all reason, such a thing should have been impossible!
"Could it be..." He thought of something!
An ancient legend about the Sky Peak Tablet had once circulated through the Immortal Domain: if a person's future accomplishments far surpassed the world, the Sky Peak Tablet would be unable to bear the Fate and Karma surrounding them. Their Fate and Karma would be so immense that even the Heavenly Dao would not dare touch it! Such people were known as eternal taboos!
"Good boy, he has such terrifying potential before he has even grown up!" The Feather Robe Youth shuddered all over when he saw that Su Changge actually wanted to write a second character!
Startled into a jolt, he hastily retrieved the Sky Peak Tablet!
"That was close! The Sky Peak Tablet nearly shattered!"
It had nearly shattered after the other party wrote just one character, yet he still wanted to write a second?
Su Changge was utterly confused. Hadn't he been told to write his name? He had only written one character, so why had the Sky Peak Tablet run off?
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward. The auspicious clouds that had filled heaven and earth when the Sky Peak Tablet descended vanished completely!
The sky was clear and bright, as if nothing had happened!
"Cough, cough."
"Well, little fellow, you have already cleared the ninth floor. You can step onto this great path now, yes?" The Feather Robe Youth was also a little embarrassed. He was, after all, a lofty senior.
Why did he feel so utterly humiliated?
A golden great path inscribed with runes extended once more from unknown space, and only then did Su Changge come back to his senses.
As he stepped onto the golden path, he felt dazed, as though heaven and earth themselves were changing.
In everyone's eyes, their Divine Son was enveloped in golden light the instant he stepped onto the golden path!
Immediately afterward, the golden path dissipated inch by inch, as if it had never existed in heaven and earth!
"What a profound great path!"
"Why have I never seen this kind of teleportation formation? Normally, shouldn't a teleportation formation leave behind an aura?"
"Perhaps that senior's power has already surpassed our understanding."
Many people were especially envious of Su Changge. Their Divine Son must have been teleported to a place as beautiful as an immortal realm!
Yet imagination and reality often stood worlds apart.
Su Changge was a little dumbfounded. It felt exactly the same as the previous floors.
All around him was still a vast expanse of whiteness!
"According to the usual fantasy novel setup, shouldn't a peerless senior like this have opened up an entire world?"
"Some sacred hall, divine tower, or Penglai Immortal Island should have been arranged!"
But what the hell was this before him?
There was nothing but fog after fog. If the system had not notified him that he had completed the tenth-floor mission, he would have suspected that he had been swindled!
"Little fellow, I have waited for you for a long time." A mysterious voice rang out.
A faint, indistinct figure emerged from the mist.
Sitting cross-legged, with what seemed to be a chessboard before him, the figure was placing a piece.
"How tacky. Do all these peerless seniors like this kind of style?"
"Their usual tricks are nothing more than wrapping their faces in mist so the other party cannot see them clearly."
"Or using spiritual energy to alter their voices, making them sound all mysterious."
Su Changge could not help mocking him inwardly. But mockery was mockery; on the surface, he could only put on a fearful expression. "This junior, Su Changge, greets Senior!"
The Feather Robe Youth was quite satisfied with Su Changge's reaction. At last, he had recovered a bit of his dignity!
What he did not know was that Su Changge was merely deliberately playing along with him!
What these so-called peerless seniors cared about most was their face! Put plainly, they just liked hearing people praise them as awesome!
"Hahaha! Little fellow, do you know who I am?"
"Though this junior does not know, I can sense Senior's divine might and extraordinary bearing!" Su Changge said respectfully, while inwardly he was nearly going mad. Obviously I'm the protagonist! Why do I still have to watch someone else show off?
The Feather Robe Youth placed another piece. "I am Grand Void True Person. Strictly speaking, I am not from this world."
"I came from..." As he spoke, the man pointed upward.
Su Changge understood inwardly. Oh, so Grand Void True Person came from the upper realm.
From what he knew, the upper realm should be the Immortal Domain.
"Since Senior comes from that place, why are you inside Sky Peak Tower? Does Senior not wish to return?" Su Changge asked in confusion.
Grand Void True Person let out a long sigh without speaking.
Return? Could he still return to that place?
Countless eras had already passed since that great battle. Whether the Immortal Domain still truly existed was unknown.
In truth, he had lost the vast majority of his memories. He could only faintly sense scattered fragments.
Terrifying figures, power that did not belong to the Immortal Domain...
"Sigh! I have long lost most of my power and no longer have the ability to return."
"If anyone in this world can travel to the Immortal Domain in the future, that person will only be you."
"Me?"
The Feather Robe Youth nodded firmly at Su Changge. "That is right. Your potential rivals some of the prodigies of the Immortal Domain from long ago. Only one with the aptitude of a True Immortal can open the Path to Immortality."
"At present, among those in this world with the bearing of a True Immortal, I have found only you."
As he spoke, the Feather Robe Youth took an object from his robes, sacred radiance flowing across its surface.
With a wave of his hand, it slowly descended before Su Changge like a ball of light.
"This is the Immortal Treasure Key, the key that opens the Bronze Divine Hall."
"The Bronze Divine Hall? What is that?" Su Changge grew increasingly unable to make sense of things. He could not understand a single thing the other party was saying.
The Feather Robe Youth did not explain further. His memories were continuously fading away, and he only knew that the Bronze Divine Hall contained something immensely important.
It might even concern the fate of the myriad heavens and worlds!
"I am sorry. Very little of my memory remains. I can only tell you that it contains something extremely important. You must go there someday."
Ding! A new choice mission has been detected. Option One: The Fate and Karma involved is too great. Refuse directly. Reward: The resentment of a crippled immortal. Option Two: For the myriad heavens and worlds, choose to accept. Reward: Immortal Treasure Key (sealed version unlocked).
Hearing the words "crippled immortal," Su Changge was somewhat dumbfounded.
An immortal? That was an existence far beyond this world!
If he chose to refuse, he would gain another crippled immortal's resentment!
There appeared to be two choices, but in truth there was only one!
What a move—making a feint in the east while attacking in the west, sneaking across Chencang by moonlight!
