4572 The First Challenger of the Heaven Traversing Pagoda
After ending the conversation with Xiao Tian Ci, Xiao Tian Ci’s friend quickly sent a message to his junior uncle, who was the direct disciple of Zhao An Yi, the first Saint of the Azure Cloud Saint Sect.
The other party quickly reached out to his master.
…
‘Xiao Tian Ci from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion?’
Zhao An Yi was searching for the entrance to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda when he received his disciple’s message. He was naturally surprised by the sudden windfall.
‘The Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion has such deep ties with Lord Duan? How could they be so lucky?’
Zhao An Yi was extremely jealous of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion.
‘Fortunately, Lord Duan didn’t forget to include me and Guo Lin and allow us to use the main entrance of the pagoda. Also, I can’t believe that Lord Feng is Lord Duan’s master…”
The appearance of the first two level-seven supreme powerhouses from the same World after the gap in history was already extremely shocking. It was even more shocking that the two were master and disciple.
After that, Zhao An Yi also learned about Duan Ling Tian’s relationship with Duan You Wei from his disciple. He thought that the two Saints of the Fu clan, Han Jiang, and Tuoba Lian Cheng were truly seeking death by killing the sworn sister of such a terrifying person.
Subsequently, Zhao An Yi also sent a message to Guo Lin who was searching for Tuoba Lian Cheng.
After telling Guo Lin everything, Zhao An Yi added, “There’s no need to worry about the Heaven Traversing Pagoda anymore. Just focus on finding Tuoba Lian Cheng. This is your top priority. Have you found any clues yet? Do you need my help?”
After Guo Lin said that he did not need Zhao An Yi’s help, Zhao An Yi did not return to the Azure Cloud Saint Sect. Although he no longer needed to search for the entrance to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda and had no plans of entering the pagoda yet, he still made his way to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda.
…
When Zhao An Yi was near the Heaven Traversing Pagoda, he ran into Old Meng, the Saint of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion.
“Old Meng!”
Zhao An Yi could not help but sigh at the sight of Old Meng when they met again after so many years.
Old Meng was already a famous supreme powerhouse in the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion when Zhao An Yi was still young. He was like a fossil.
“Little Zhao?”
Old Meng was dressed in a Taoist robe. He was skinny and looked young for his age. He asked, surprised, “Are you going to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda as well?”
“Yes,” Zhao An Yi replied with a nod, “My direct disciple told me that Lord Duan has granted Guo Lin and me permission to enter the pagoda through the main entrance. However, I’m not planning to enter the pagoda yet. I came to express my gratitude to Lord Duan and greet Lord Feng.”
Zhao An Yi only met Duan Ling Tian, not Feng Qing Yang. He had only seen Feng Qing Yang from a distance previously. When he saw Feng Qing Yang subdue the World supreme powerhouses from the Three Upper Worlds, he quickly retreated. Just like Duan Ling Tian, Feng Qing Yang was much more powerful than Saints. He naturally would not miss an opportunity to meet Feng Qing Yang. He was not in a rush to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda so he decided to observe the situation first.
Old Meng sighed and said with a wry smile, “I supposed you’re not in a hurry. I heard that you survived the Heavenly Tribulation with minor injuries. Alas, unlike you, my time is limited. I just want to obtain the Heaven Protection Talisman as soon as possible. I don’t know how difficult the tests in the pagoda will be, but they certainly won’t be easy. I might even injure myself during the tests. In any case, I need the talisman so I can enter the Forbidden Realm and face the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation before my once-every-10,000-year Heavenly Tribulation arrives.”
If Old Meng survived the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation, he would become a level-seven supreme powerhouse. With that, his strength would increase, and it would be easy for him to overcome his upcoming Heavenly Tribulation. As a result, his life would be extended.
…
Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang were still at the Heaven Traversing Pagoda when Old Meng and Zhao An Yi arrived together.
“That’s fast. Did you already capture them?”
Duan Ling Tian was surprised to see Zhao An Yi, thinking that he had captured the two demi Saints so quickly.
“Lord Duan,” Zhao An Yi greeted Duan Ling Tian before he said, “I’ve already captured Han Jiang, and Guo Lin is searching for Tuoba Lian Cheng. It won’t be long before Guo Lin catches him. I only came here to express my gratitude to you for allowing me to enter the pagoda through the main entrance.”
“It’s nothing. Moreover, my master won’t stay here for long. He’ll be leaving in half a month at most,” Duan Ling Tian said.
The 30-something entrances should be found within half a month so there was no longer any point in staying here.
At this time, Zhao An Yi looked at Feng Qing Yang and greeted Feng Qing Yang respectfully.
“The Azure Cloud Saint Sect’s Zhao An Yi greets Lord Feng!”
Although Feng Qing Yang and Duan Ling Tian were younger than Zhao An Yi, Zhao An Yi was very respectful. Even if he successfully became a level-seven supreme powerhouse in the future, he knew he was no match for the duo. After all, based on their heaven-defying innate talent, they would definitely surpass him again. Unlike everyone, the duo did not need the Heaven Protection Talisman to overcome the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation.
Although Feng Qing Yang’s Fatal Heavenly Tribulation was not as powerful because he faced them when he was an intermediate Supreme God, the fact that he had comprehended the law to the paramount stage and the Sword Dao to the seventh stage as an intermediate Supreme God was unheard of. Such a person was destined to be extraordinary.
Following that, Old Meng quickly greeted the duo as well.
“Meng Han greets Lord Duan and Lord Feng.”
Similar to Zhao An Yi, Meng Han was also respectful to the duo despite being much older.
Duan Ling Tian had ties with the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, but Meng Han knew that the ties were mostly to Xiao Tian Ci. It did not have much to do with him at all.
“I’ve already spoken to Palace Master Xiao before. You can enter the pagoda,” Duan Ling Tian said with a nod. It was his first time meeting Meng Han so it was only natural that he was a bit distant.
“Go ahead,” Feng Qing Yang. He could tell that Meng Han was eager to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. He added with a slight smile on his face, “You’ll be the first person to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda.”
“Thank you for your understanding, my lords,” Meng Han said, barely able to contain his excitement.
With a flash, Meng Han disappeared into the Heaven Traversing Pagoda after he finished speaking.
With this, the Heaven Traversing Pagoda finally received its first challenger after it appeared!
