4590 Zhao An Yi Enters the Heaven Traversing Pagoda
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian faintly anticipated the appearance of more level-seven supreme powerhouses in the world. With that, he would not have to deal with the loneliness of standing at the top.

Duan Ling Tian also wondered what the mysterious heaven would do next.

In the past, heaven did not have any movement because there were no level-seven supreme powerhouses after the gap in history. However, heaven made itself known after he overcame the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. The heavenly text appeared, announcing his deed to the world. Prior to this, neither he nor the group of old men from the God Defying World had heard of heaven intervening in such a way. Naturally, heaven could only intervene indirectly, not directly.

“When there were no level-seven supreme powerhouses, heaven didn’t create the Heaven Traversing Pagoda to give out the Heaven Protection Talisman. Those things only appeared after master and I became level-seven supreme powerhouses. It’s clear that heaven is targeting us. According to the Void Elder’s memories, heaven can’t directly attack a person. It makes sense for heaven to target us with this method. However, could it be a coincidence? What if the appearance of the Heaven Traversing Pagoda was not intentional? What if its appearance was triggered by the appearance of the first level-seven supreme powerhouse after the historical gap? Is there really such a coincidence?”

Based on how much the Void Elder resented heaven, Duan Ling Tian was more inclined to believe that heaven was targeting him and his master. He believed that heaven had intentionally created the Heaven Traversing Pagoda.

“No matter what, I’m not afraid. I’ll face everything as it comes,” Duan Ling Tian said as his eyes shone with determination and ferocity.

In the past, when he was weak, he had never been afraid. He continued to advance and overcome many obstacles and life-death situations before he finally reached the peak. He did not let the difficulties overwhelm him, and he did not falter. Now that he was standing at the peak, he was naturally even more fearless.

“Moreover, I have the Void Elder’s memories. With them, I can learn many things in a short time. It shouldn’t take long for me to catch up to him and become a level-nine supreme powerhouse! I might even be able to enter the mysterious realm that Void Elder speculated about and gain the power to resist heaven. I wonder what kind of realm can give someone the strength to stand shoulder to shoulder with heaven.”

Duan Ling Tian was unsurprisingly curious about the mysterious realm in the Void Elder’s memories that could grant one strength comparable to that of heaven. He also knew that it was only a speculation, but he still could not help but look forward to it.

…

At the Azure Cloud Saint Sect in the Outer Boundary.

“Guo Lin, since you’re here, I’ll leave the sect to you as usual,” Zhao An Yi said seriously to Guo Lin, who had just brought Tuoba Lian Cheng back, “Lord Duan should be coming soon. If I have yet to return from the Heaven Traversing Pagoda, receive him on my behalf, and hand Tuoba Lian Cheng and Han Jiang to him.”

Guo Lin nodded in agreement.

After that, Zhao An Yi left for the nearest entrance to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. He really could not wait anymore. Initially, he planned to take his time, but whenever he recalled what he had missed, he became very frustrated. In the end, he decided to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda first. Even if he failed to obtain the Heaven Protection Talisman on his first try, he could at least accumulate experience. It would only be a matter of time before he obtained the Heaven Protection Talisman. At that time, he would also become a level-seven supreme powerhouse like Meng Han from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion.

Previously, Zhao An Yi had heard from those who had already entered the Heaven Traversing Pagoda that some people stayed in the pagoda for half a month and some stayed for more than a month. Lei Hong and Fang Yi Fan, who successfully obtained the Heaven Protection Talisman, stayed in the pagoda for less than a month.

Passing the tests in the Heaven Traversing Pagoda depended not only on one’s strength but also efficiency. If one was efficient, one would exhaust less energy. If one exhausted less energy, one would be able to cope with the subsequent tests better. This was common sense.

…

Zhao An Yi planned to take his time and stay there for more than a month, but who knew he would be forced to come out after 21 days?

He spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was pale, and a hint of fear could be seen in his eyes at this moment.

“The tests are really difficult. I can deal with the tests if I’m at my peak, but the earlier tests have drained me…”

Zhao An Yi reflected on his experience and sighed. He felt that he had used too much energy in each test.

“When I go in again, I have to be more efficient and conserve more energy… I’ll recover my injuries before entering again. I’ll definitely obtain the Heaven Protection Talisman. At most, I have to enter the pagoda a few times.”

Zhao An Yi was injured now and vulnerable to attacks. Although he had many friends in the Outer Boundary, he also had many enemies. Not many people knew he had entered the Heaven Traversing Pagoda previously, but he still had to guard against his enemies. As such, he sent a message to Guo Lin to escort him back to the Azure Cloud Saint Sect.

…

During the journey, Guo Lin did not sense anything wrong with Zhao An Yi because the latter had mobilized his Divine Consciousness. However, as soon as they arrived and Zhao An Yi withdrew his Divine Consciousness, he gasped in shock.

“Why are you so badly injured?”
“It can’t be helped. It’s my first time entering the pagoda after all,” Zhao An Yi said with a helpless expression before he recounted his experience in the Heaven Traversing Pagoda.

“I’m not sure if you’ll encounter the same tests I did when you enter the pagoda, but it’ll definitely do you good to learn from experience. It might help you avoid some trouble in the future,” Zhao An Yi said.

Guo Lin listened carefully, too afraid to miss any detail.
