Seeing Ancestor Po Jun flying rapidly toward him,
Su Changge hurriedly turned to the Returning Origin Holy Master. "Holy Master, I was demonstrating that especially for you! You can't just watch me die without helping!"
But what sort of man was the Returning Origin Holy Master?
He was a master of changing faces!
The Returning Origin Holy Master reacted quickly and hastily composed himself, looking as though he knew nothing at all. "What do you mean, demonstrating for me? Changge! How can you lie at such a young age?"
"I'll have to give you a talking-to about this. What if all this commotion frightened the disciples?"
"Alas, you really never let anyone rest easy!"
"Well, I have something to attend to. I'll be off!"
With that, the Returning Origin Holy Master actually fled like a wisp of smoke!
This maneuver left Su Changge a little dumbfounded! Little question mark, did you have a lot of friends?
"Changge, tell me exactly what happened." By now, Ancestor Po Jun had arrived before Su Changge.
His stern face was filled with imposing authority.
After Su Changge offered a lengthy explanation,
Ancestor Po Jun finally understood what had happened.
"Let me take a look at that sword of yours."
"Please take a look, Ancestor." Su Changge summoned the Azure Heaven Sword from the system space again.
At his first glimpse of the Azure Heaven Sword, Ancestor Po Jun's pupils contracted, and even his soul trembled!
He actually felt a little afraid!
The stronger one's cultivation, the more keenly one sensed the Great Dao. He sensed a trace of the Heavenly Dao's intent within this sword!
"Ancestor, you...?" Su Changge was a little puzzled.
Didn't he want to look at the sword?
Why wasn't he moving?
Only after a long while did Ancestor Po Jun recover slightly, still struggling to emerge from his shock!
"Changge, where exactly did this sword come from?"
"Reporting to you, Ancestor, this sword was born from my bloodline after I awakened my Saintly Body." Su Changge answered without hesitation. This was an excuse he had prepared long ago.
At those words, Ancestor Po Jun's expression changed again, and the horror in his eyes was impossible to conceal.
"This... this is a Companion Divine Artifact!"
Su Changge was utterly bewildered. Had that nonsense I made up stirred up something else?
Afraid that his judgment might be mistaken, Ancestor Po Jun examined it again.
Only after quite some time did he calm himself.
Ancestor Po Jun murmured an explanation. "A Companion Divine Artifact is a bloodline divine artifact born when a person's talent reaches its absolute peak."
"The talent such people later display in that path is rarely seen throughout the ages."
"Several thousand years ago, someone like this was born. A divine spear emerged from his bloodline, and later, his talent in the Spear Dao towered over all the heavens!"
"When his spear moved, winds and clouds changed!"
"When his spear thrust, heaven and earth perished!"
"After becoming a Great Emperor, he even attained immortality through the Spear Dao and became a myth."
Having finished, Ancestor Po Jun looked at Su Changge with burning eyes again. "Changge, this longsword born from you is even more terrifying."
"I sensed a trace of the Heavenly Dao's essence upon it. Your future achievements will surely be even more terrifying than his!"
"If anyone asks where this divine weapon came from, say that I bestowed it upon you. You mustn't let a single word of the truth slip!"
"Yes, Changge understands."
Su Changge knew in his heart that Ancestor Po Jun was doing this to better protect him.
He had even taken the entire explanation upon himself.
To be honest, Su Changge felt a little warmth in his heart.
"All right, that matter is settled. Let's reckon with another."
"Making such a huge commotion-were you trying to turn the Holy Land upside down?"
Su Changge was dumbfounded again. Was this a settling of accounts after the harvest?
"If you really have nothing better to do, go challenge Sky Peak Tower. Remember, you're the Divine Son now. How will you shut certain people up without displaying your talent?"
Hearing the ancestor's words, Su Changge immediately understood.
The commotion just now had been far too great. Some people in the Holy Land had probably grown displeased.
Ancestor Po Jun wanted him to display his talent in a simpler, more forceful way, thereby silencing those harboring ulterior motives.
"Yes, this disciple acknowledges his mistake. Thank you for the punishment, Ancestor."
Ancestor Po Jun nodded in satisfaction. "I've already prepared the Divine Crane for you. Go boldly and show what you can do. We old fellows will always have your back."
"Yes, Changge will not fail this mission."
Ancestor Po Jun's words revealed a great deal. It seemed the ancestor wanted him to make a commotion-the bigger, the better.
Preferably, he should stir the winds and clouds. If anyone came looking for trouble with him, they would have to ask whether the ancestors of the Returning Origin Holy Land agreed!
"The Divine Son is going to climb Sky Peak Tower!"
"How many floors do you think the Divine Son can reach?"
"Sky Peak Tower, Nine Heavens. Each floor is a heaven, and every heaven holds great terrors."
"The higher you go, the more the pressure increases exponentially! Many of the Holy Land's Holy Sons only reached the fifth floor! Even First Saint Son Ye Lintian only reached the seventh."
"Yes, I don't recall anyone ever reaching above the seventh floor. I think the Divine Son should be able to reach the eighth, right?"
"The higher the floor you can reach, the greater your potential. There's another legend, too. Rumor has it there's a tenth floor! If someone reaches it, they say the Sky Peak Tablet will appear. By leaving your name on it, you can learn your future and fate!"
"I've heard that too!"
The disciples of the Returning Origin Holy Land kept discussing it. Rumor had it that Sky Peak Tower had existed since ancient times and was incomparably mysterious, with countless legends and tales surrounding it.
At that moment, the main character, Su Changge, had already arrived.
He gazed at Sky Peak Tower before him, its imposing grandeur soaring straight into the clouds, its top beyond sight!
"Interesting. It dares to name itself after the sky. Let's see what it's really like." Su Changge pushed open the heavy doors and walked straight inside.
First, he passed through a long tunnel. Everything around him was pitch-black, while light slowly emerged ahead.
He entered the illuminated area.
It was as though he stood in the middle of an enormous plaza, surrounded by a vast expanse of white mist that felt mysterious beyond mystery.
Looking up, he felt as though he were inside an ancient well, with nothing but white at its far end as well.
Su Changge stepped onto the stairs concealed within the white mist and faintly felt an invisible force pressing down on him.
But to him, it was very weak, like a grain of dust landing on his body, unable to affect him at all.
"Just like those settings, sure enough. The pressure should get stronger with every step I climb." Su Changge couldn't help sighing. It really was a rigidly conventional fantasy setting.
[Ding! New choice quest detected. Option one: reach the fifth floor of Sky Peak Tower. Reward: Dragon Transformation Elephant Control Skill. Option two: reach the ninth floor of Sky Peak Tower. Reward: Three Thousand Weak Waters Art. Option three: reach the tenth floor of Heaven's Secret Pavilion. Reward: one lucky draw.]
"The tenth floor? A lucky draw?" Su Changge felt a little unsettled.
Sky Peak Tower really did have a tenth floor!
This was the first time a lucky draw had appeared as an option. Perhaps there would be some unexpected gains. He absolutely couldn't miss this!
Tempted by the system reward, he suddenly climbed much faster!
Light as a swallow, he reached the second heaven in mere moments.
But he wasn't finished. He kept going!
The third heaven!
The fourth heaven!
The fifth heaven!
The sixth heaven!
The disciples watching outside were thrown into confusion. There was a formation outside Sky Peak Tower, and the point of light upon it was moving incredibly fast!
In less than half a quarter-hour, he had already reached the sixth heaven, without even slowing down in the slightest!
"Doesn't every heaven have ninety-nine steps? Am I remembering wrong?"
"You're definitely not remembering wrong. I've challenged it several times! Those deadly ninety-nine steps are already etched deep into my bones!"
"But is the Divine Son even human?"
For some disciples, even climbing the steps of the second heaven was harder than ascending to the sky!
Yet look at their Divine Son. It was as easy as eating and drinking, and he was already halfway through the sixth heaven!
Their hearts hurt! It wasn't 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 useless!
