Chapter 1036 - 115-116: Ascension Tower, Generous Rewards (Two-in-One)

Then, two Tower Guardians appeared.

"Two at the First Level of the God Realm!"

Shen Changqing’s face changed slightly.

On the first floor, there was only one at the First Level of the God Realm, but now on the second floor, there are two.

So, on the third floor, there should be three at the First Level of the God Realm.

However,

the Ascension Tower can’t always have Tower Guardians at the First Level of the God Realm.

Otherwise, this Ascension Tower would be too easy.

Thinking in his heart,

the two Tower Guardians had already made their move.

Shen Changqing shattered the two attacks effortlessly and counterattacked with a punch, causing the flesh of the two cultivators at the First Level of the God Realm to be annihilated.

As Tower Guardians,

the destruction of their flesh equates to complete annihilation.

Therefore,

the instant the flesh of the two Tower Guardians was annihilated, the corresponding reward appeared.

Two hundred Divine Crystals!

With a wave of his hand, Shen Changqing collected the Divine Crystals and then waited for time to pass before entering the third floor.

----

In the Clan Main Hall,

the seat on the steps had turned from one into two.

On the two thrones,

Zhongshan Dongxuan sat on the right, while another person sat on the left with a sharp but solemn face, exuding a powerful oppression just by sitting there, making him the center of everything.

Candle Emperor!

The true Emperor of the Zhongshan Clan.

"The Ascension Tower has officially opened. Do you believe he can successfully reach the top and then enter the Divine Forge Platform?"

A powerful pressure accompanied the Candle Emperor’s calm voice.

In response,

Zhongshan Dongxuan smiled faintly, unaffected by the pressure: "It would be best if he can enter the Divine Forge Platform, meaning his potential is much stronger than Zhongshan Baiyue.

If not, then so be it. Entering the Ascension Tower also serves as a training opportunity, which will benefit him in the future.

The Divine Mandate Platform’s emergence is not just a fleeting event.

The time it remains will be enough for him to grow slowly."

"You seem to think highly of him?"

"Does my Emperor not have high hopes? You must know that the genius who can comprehend the Eyes of Time hasn’t appeared in our Zhongshan Clan for a long time, and moreover, he can stand out among many disciples of the Candle Sect with a Fifth Level God Realm cultivation, showing his uniqueness."

Zhongshan Dongxuan smiled faintly.

He had high hopes for Shen Changqing.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given him a spot.

Especially later, this disciple even managed to defeat a Ninth Layer God Realm direct disciple and create a brand-new First Grade Divine Skill.

In terms of overall potential,

he couldn’t be compared to other talents within the Candle Sect or the Zhongshan Clan.

Subsequently,

Zhongshan Dongxuan continued: "You must be aware, Candle Emperor, that those competing for the Divine Mandate Platform are not only our clan but also those supreme Divine Clans. If our clan only holds Divine King Level innate divine abilities, we will be at a disadvantage against those Divine Clans.

In contrast, Zhongshan Chou’s ability to comprehend the Eyes of Time has narrowed the gap with the Divine Clans in certain areas.

Perhaps, during this great era of contention, our Zhongshan Clan might be able to return to the peak of a million years ago through his hands."

"Your assumption is too perfect."

The Candle Emperor shook his head slightly, his golden eyes deep as if he could encompass the vast Heaven and Earth at a glance.

"Our clan’s decline lies in the fall of the Divine Lord. To return to the peak of a million years ago, another Divine Lord must emerge. Although Zhongshan Chou’s talent is strong, the possibility of becoming a Divine Lord remains slim.

However, this time the emergence of the Divine Mandate Platform is a rare opportunity for us.

If we can seize the chance, perhaps we might glimpse the profound mysteries of the Divine Lord."

As he spoke,

it was as if a terrifying Candle Shadow Phantom appeared behind him, but it quickly dissipated.

"How about you and I make a bet?"

"What do you want to bet on?"

"Let’s bet on whether Zhongshan Chou can take charge of the Divine Forge Platform."

"Have you thought it through? Even if someone is at the Tenth Layer of the God Realm, they may not be able to break through the higher levels of the Ascension Tower. Do you think a Fifth Level God Realm disciple can break through the Ascension Tower to enter the Divine Forge Platform?"

The Candle Emperor frowned.

He felt that Zhongshan Dongxuan was overly confident.

While he didn’t deny that the genius who could comprehend the Eyes of Time did possess extraordinary combat strength,

claiming to penetrate the Ascension Tower was simply impossible.

Zhongshan Dongxuan said: "I have my confidence. How about we bet on a vessel as a stake?"

Upon hearing this,

The Candle Emperor gave him a long look, then nodded: "Alright, since you have such interest, I will gamble with you. If he can take charge of the Divine Forge Platform, I’ll give you a vessel."

"Then I’ll thank you in advance."

----

Rumble!!

In the void, ten First Level God Realm Tower Guardians were attacking in unison.

However, when those powerful attacks landed on Shen Changqing, they couldn’t break through his fleshly defense at all.

And he,

with just one punch, could annihilate a Tower Guardian.

From the start of the battle to its end, not even a quarter of an hour passed, and all ten First Level God Realm Tower Guardians were annihilated.

With the fall of the Tower Guardians,

the corresponding reward appeared there.

One thousand Divine Crystals!

And—a pill.

"A pill?"

Shen Changqing looked at the azure pill before him, on which thunder flickered faintly, emanating a not weak aura.

Soon,

relevant information appeared in his mind.

A Fourth Grade Divine Rank Elixir—the Myriad Thunders Forging Body Pill!

A pill refined from the thunders of the Heavens, containing powerful thunder force, cultivators can use it to temper their physique.

"An elixir capable of tempering the body, not bad!"
