Chapter 1034 - 115-116: Ascension Tower, Generous Rewards (Two-in-One)

The Ascension Tower vibrates!

Countless rays of golden light burst forth from the tower and fell upon every cultivator present.

Shen Changqing felt a gentle warmth all over his body, followed by a mysterious force coagulating on the back of his hand.

He looked down.

On the back of his right hand, a celestial character quietly appeared.

As his divine sense fell upon the celestial character, he discovered a faint connection between himself and the Ascension Tower before him.

Looking around, he saw that everyone had the same celestial character appear on the back of their hand.

Zhongshan Changhong retrieved the token embedded in the Ascension Tower and turned to face everyone, loudly saying, "Now that all cultivators entering the Heavenly Domain have arrived, let me explain the rules to you."

"The celestial symbol on the back of your hand is your credential for entering the Ascension Tower. As long as your divine sense completely merges with it, you can directly enter the Ascension Tower.

Remember, as long as the seats on the Divine Forge Platform are not fully occupied, you can continue to challenge the Ascension Tower. However, once all seats are filled on the Divine Forge Platform, there will no longer be the possibility to challenge the Ascension Tower."

"However..."

"Those who fail cannot enter the Ascension Tower and Divine Forge Platform but can cultivate themselves in the Heavenly Domain. Though few strong individuals have entered since its opening, there have certainly been many.

Thus, various regions of the Heavenly Domain contain opportunities left behind by past powerful figures.

Whether you can obtain them depends entirely on your own capability.

Because divine sense faces significant limitations within the Heavenly Domain, the idea of using divine sense to directly seek opportunities can be entirely dismissed."

"Additionally, once the Heavenly Domain is opened, there is no possibility of leaving early. After three years, all cultivators within the Heavenly Domain will leave at the same time."

After speaking.

Zhongshan Changhong added another sentence.

"Remember, having the chance to enter the Heavenly Domain is rare. I hope you will seize this opportunity and not waste it."

"Furthermore, every cultivator has at least one chance to challenge the Ascension Tower, even if all seats on the Divine Forge Platform are filled.

If someone isn’t very confident in themselves, they can choose not to challenge the Ascension Tower initially; instead, they can accumulate resources within the Heavenly Domain and then attempt to ascend the Ascension Tower to master the Divine Forge Platform.

Otherwise, if the challenge fails once and the seats on the Divine Forge Platform become fully occupied later, there will be no further chances."

With that,

he said nothing further, took out a long ship, stepped onto it, and left the vicinity of the Ascension Tower.

For a time.

In front of the Ascension Tower, silence fell.

Zhongshan Changhong’s words were already very clear.

As long as the seats in the Ascension Tower are not fully occupied, you can continue to challenge until all seats are claimed, and those who fail to occupy seats cannot challenge further.

But every rule has an exception.

The Ascension Tower guarantees at least one challenge.

In short,

If you lack the confidence to stand out among all cultivators and occupy a seat, you can choose not to enter the Ascension Tower for now, focusing on accumulating strength.

So.

Whether to challenge the Ascension Tower now becomes a question.

However—

The silence did not last long, as a calm voice emerged.

"Since no one else is making a move, let me be the one to break the ice!"

With those words.

Zhongshan Kongzhou stepped forward, his divine sense settling on the celestial character on his hand. In the next moment, golden light from the Ascension Tower descended, covering his form.

In an instant, he vanished.

With Zhongshan Kongzhou’s entry into the Ascension Tower, other cultivators confident in their own strength did not hesitate.

Watching one cultivator after another enter.

On the side of the Candle Sect.

Zhongshan Peng stepped forward, but he didn’t immediately activate his mark to enter the Ascension Tower; instead, he turned to look at Shen Changqing.

"Direct Disciple Qiu, I hope to meet you on the Divine Forge Platform!"

After speaking, he activated the mark and entered the Ascension Tower.

On the other side.

Shen Changqing felt somewhat speechless.

He seemed to have no interaction with Zhongshan Peng.

Since arriving at the Heavenly Domain, they hadn’t even conversed a few times.

Yet, looking at him, it seemed there was a great expectation.

Shaking his head.

Shen Changqing didn’t dwell on these matters, instead focusing his attention on the Ascension Tower ahead.

"The Spiritual Energy in the Heavenly Domain is abundant; if I cultivate here, in three years I will surely ascend to the Sixth Level of Cave Heaven.

However, compared to Spiritual Energy, the Ascension Tower and Divine Forge Platform are the true treasures of the Heavenly Domain. The biggest issue now is that I’m unclear about the situation within the Ascension Tower.

When Zhongshan Changhong was present, I forgot to ask about it!"

He realized something he had overlooked.

That is—

He was quite unfamiliar with the Ascension Tower.

However.

With the Ascension Tower having opened so many times, the Zhongshan Clan must have some information, so among the cultivators present and entering the Ascension Tower, surely some have a certain understanding of it.

Though understanding doesn’t equate to quick ascension, it’s an advantage nonetheless.

It’s now impossible to ask other cultivators.

To other cultivators.

Having one less competitor is always beneficial.

"However... the Ascension Tower may not be able to stop me. Though there are many cultivators here, few have reached the Tenth Layer of God Realm, and unless they are deeply rooted in the Tenth Layer, compared to the Ninth Layer of God Realm, even if I am not their match, I won’t be too far behind!"

Shen Changqing’s eyes flickered.
