4585 There’s Someone Who Feels More Regretful Than All of You

After obtaining the Heaven Protection Talisman, Lei Hong and Fang Yi Fan knew that the talismans were not transferable. The talismans were bound to their owners, and if they gave the talismans up, the talismans would turn into dust.

After they obtained the Heaven Protection Talisman in the Heaven Traversing Pagoda, a reminder appeared in the pagoda, deterring them from forcefully seizing talismans from another person. Without the reminder, it was only natural that many people would try to obtain more talismans using other means. After all, the more talismans they possessed, the more they would be protected when facing the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. Even one extra talisman could make a great difference.

…

Fang Yi Fan’s expression remained unsightly even after he returned to the Transcendence World.

‘I thought I’d be even more confident about facing the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation after speaking to Senior Meng Han… Who knew that not only did it not make me feel more confident, but it also crushed all my initial confidence?’

Meng Han did not hide the fact that the fourth Heaven Protection Talisman he obtained played a great part in his success in surviving the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. Moreover, according to him, he would have failed if he did not have the fourth talisman. His words were, “It would be impossible for me to survive the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation with only three talismans.”

After hearing all that, how could Fang Yi Fan not know how crucial the fourth Heaven Protection Talisman was?

‘It seems like I have to make more preparations before facing the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation… I can’t rush into it. I’ll just wait and observe for now…’

…

At the same time, Lei Hong who had returned to the Sun Bright World was also in a terrible mood. The result of his visit to the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion was completely unexpected. However, although his confidence had taken a blow, he was not as depressed as Fang Yi Fan. He was going to make preparations and enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda.

‘I have to make even more careful preparations. It doesn’t matter if I only have three talismans. I’m not afraid! I must become the fourth level-seven supreme powerhouse after the historical gap! Feng Qing Yang, Duan Ling Tian, Meng Han, it won’t be long before I catch up to all of you! At that time, I’ll definitely test Feng Qing Yang’s strength!’

Lei Hong had been harboring a grudge against Feng Qing Yang ever since Feng Qing Yang stopped him from entering the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. For this reason, he was determined to ‘seek guidance’ from Feng Qing Yang after becoming a level-seven supreme powerhouse himself.

…

At the Sacred Lightning Realm’s Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion in the Outer Boundary.

After Lei Hong and Feng Yi Fan’s departure, a group of Saints and World supreme powerhouses came to visit Meng Han. Similar to the duo, they hoped to gain information from Meng Han that could help them overcome the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation in the future. Many among them had already entered the Heaven Traversing Pagoda but failed to obtain anything. Apart from that, many of them were also injured. Otherwise, they would be in the Heaven Traversing Pagoda, trying to obtain the Heaven Protection Talisman again.

The other Saint of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion received this group of visitors and delivered disappointing news to them.

“I’m sorry to say that you’ve all come at the wrong time. My junior granduncle, Meng Han, left shortly after seeing the Sun Bright World’s Lei Hong and the Transcendence World’s Fang Yi Fan off.”

The group of supreme powerhouses was naturally disappointed, but their eyes lit up quickly when they heard the following words.

“However, my junior granduncle is aware of the purpose of your visit. It’s nothing more than to ask about the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. He has relayed all the necessary information to me so I’ll share with you all I know.”

The group of supreme powerhouses listened to the Saint of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion speak about Meng Han’s experience. All of them were dumbfounded when the Saint from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion finished speaking. Apart from shock, they also felt envious.

“The first person to enter the pagoda was rewarded by heaven? The difficulty of the tests was not only reduced by 30%, but he was also rewarded with an additional talisman?!”

“Did Lord Meng manage to enter the pagoda so quickly because there’s an entrance near the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion?” someone asked.

The Saint of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion shook his head and said, “No. My junior granduncle managed to enter the pagoda so quickly thanks to the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion’s connection to Lord Duan. Before becoming a level-seven supreme powerhouse, Lord Duan was a Guardian of our Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion’s Golden Dragon Palace. Xiao Tian Ci, the Palace Master of the Golden Dragon Palace, asked for help from Lord Duan, hoping that Lord Duan would allow my junior granduncle to enter the pagoda through the main entrance.”

After a brief pause, the Saint of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion continued to say, “I’m sure all of you know that Lord Feng is Lord Duan’s master. Due to his loyalty, Lord Duan spoke to Lord Feng and allowed my junior granduncle to enter the pagoda using the main entrance.”

The others were helpless when they heard these words, and they were also jealous. Why was the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion so lucky to have connections with someone like Duan Ling Tian?

At this time, the Saint of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion asked, “I’m sure you’ve all heard that the Sun Bright World’s Lei Hong and the Transcendence World’s Fang Yi Fan have also successfully passed the tests in the Heaven Traversing Pagoda and obtain the Heaven Protection Talisman, right?”

Many people nodded.

“Yes.”

“Ha, that Lei Hong bragged about it to me! How could I not know?”

After that, they learned that the difficulty of the tests was reduced by 20% and 10% for Fang Yi Yan and Lei Hong respectively as the second and third person to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. However, they were not rewarded with an additional Heaven Protection Talisman.

The supreme powerhouses grew even more jealous and regretful.

“Lei Hong didn’t mention this when he was bragging to me about it! If the difficulty of the test was reduced by 10%, I’m sure I would have succeeded as well!” a World supreme powerhouse from the Sun Bright World said. His strength was on par with Lei Hong, and he had higher seniority compared to Lei Hong. If they fought, he would not be at a disadvantage at all.

“Lei Hong and Fang Yi Fan got lucky as well…”

“If I had known about these things, I would have risked my life and tried to be the second person to enter the pagoda!”

The Saint from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion looked at the disappointed supreme powerhouses in front of him and said in an attempt to console them, “There’s someone who’s much more regretful than all of you… I heard from my junior granduncle that he ran into another person, who’s on par with him, and they both went to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda together…”
