Human Clan Defender

Chapter 1087: Chapter 141-142: You’re Not Afraid of Me? (2-in-1)

"No."

Zhongshan Dongxuan shook his head.

"The tower you see is the Sky-Piercing Road, and the Sky-Piercing Road is part of the Divine Mandate Platform. What is the Sky-Piercing Road? This tower has no upper limit spoken of. If a cultivator follows the Sky-Piercing Road upwards, the road will extend infinitely.

Regardless of who it is, they cannot truly find the location of the Divine Mandate Platform.

According to the Heavens Myriad Clans’ speculation, the Divine Mandate Platform does not exist in our current space but rather in a place similar to the Endless Void."

"Therefore..."

"To enter the Divine Mandate Platform, there is only one way, and that is to enter the Sky-Piercing Road, and then from there enter the Divine Mandate Platform. There is no shortcut in any other way."

Throughout countless ages.

It is unknown how many strong warriors have tried other means to find the location of the Divine Mandate Platform.

In doing so.

They hoped to avoid the tedious journey of forcing their way through the Sky-Piercing Road.

However.

It had no effect.

Some powerful warriors have spent hundreds or thousands of years without reaching the end of the Sky-Piercing Road, nor found any trace of the Divine Mandate Platform.

"Not existing in the current space!" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Shen Changqing’s eyes flickered.

He looked upwards along the Sky-Piercing Road, unable to see the end.

Perhaps as the other said, the Divine Mandate Platform does not exist in this space; hence the naked eye cannot observe, nor can one ascend to reach it.

During their conversation.

The Imperial Heaven Vessel had completely entered the range of the Divine Mandate Platform.

Within a million miles of the Divine Mandate Platform, dreadful auras invisibly emanated, causing the void to bear the weight.

Inside the Imperial Heaven Vessel, everyone’s faces turned solemn upon feeling those terrifying auras.

Suddenly.

A hearty laughter came: "Could it be the Dongxuan Divine King of the Zhongshan Clan who has come!"

Upon hearing the voice, everyone looked sideways.

A body glowing with golden light appeared in front of the Imperial Heaven Vessel.

Zhongshan Dongxuan folded his hands and smiled subtly: "So, it is the Ren Cang Divine King of the Beiyue Clan. How is your clan’s progress now?"

While speaking.

He put away the Imperial Heaven Vessel.

All of the cultivators onboard slowly descended from the void.

On a desolate mountain summit, Zhongshan Dongxuan appeared silently.

Before him was the Ren Cang Divine King of the Beiyue Clan.

Upon hearing.

The Divine King of the Beiyue Clan smiled: "Our clan has also just arrived in Zhongzhou Continent not long ago, and so far no cultivator has ascended the Divine Mandate Platform."

While speaking.

His gaze swept over Shen Changqing and the others.

"Hmm, could it be that Elder Xia of the Candle Sect did not come?"

According to expectations.

Zhongshan Xia should have come to participate in the contest for the Divine Mandate Platform.

However. frёewebηovel.cѳm

In this crew, the figure of Zhongshan Xia was nowhere to be seen.

It must be known that he is a strong warrior, akin to a Proud Heaven talent. Once he enters the Sky-Piercing Road, there is a great chance he can climb to the Divine Mandate Platform.

Without Zhongshan Xia.

Among these cultivators present, few are likely to reach the Divine Mandate Platform.

"Elder Xia is temporarily unable to come due to certain matters. When the time is right, he will naturally arrive."

Zhongshan Dongxuan simply said this, without elaborating on the matter.

Ren Cang Divine King laughed heartily: "Very well, then I wish your clan all the best, and may both of our clans be ranked on the Investiture of the Gods in the future."

"Certainly."

"Good, I shall not disturb you further, and take my leave."

Ren Cang Divine King had no intention of staying further. As he left, his gaze lightly glanced at Shen Changqing.

If memory serves.

This is the genius of the Candle Sect who has comprehended an Innate Divine Ability at the Divine Lord Level.

Nonetheless.

Ren Cang Divine King paid little mind.

Though the Innate Divine Ability is powerful, it is only relatively so.

Their realm is here, and no matter how strong their power is, it is limited.

In his view.

The Zhongshan Clan probably brought the individual along merely to broaden their horizons, rather than to enter the Sky-Piercing Road and contest the Investiture of the Gods.

After Ren Cang Divine King’s departure.

Zhongshan Dongxuan looked at the Sky-Piercing Road ahead, and calmly said: "That is the Sky-Piercing Road. As long as you enter within a million mile range of the Divine Mandate Platform, your consciousness can connect to it, allowing direct entry into the Sky-Piercing Road."

"But there is one thing I must remind you all."

"The Sky-Piercing Road allows no retreat; once inside, you must either ascend the Divine Mandate Platform or perish within, or be trapped permanently. No fourth outcome exists.

For countless years, numerous warriors have become trapped within the Sky-Piercing Road until their lifespan ended in death.

Therefore, before entering, you must be fully prepared."

These words.

Caused the cultivators of the Zhongshan Clan to become extremely solemn.

Zhongshan Dongxuan’s words were already very clear.

Before entering the Sky-Piercing Road, everything remains negotiable; however, once inside, there will be no retreat.

Either ascend the Divine Mandate Platform or die within the Sky-Piercing Road.

Although there are three outcomes, in truth, there are only two from beginning to end.

Either life, or death.

No third possibility.

Whether dying from the exhaustion of lifespan or being slain by a strong warrior of the Sky-Piercing Road is the same.

The only difference.

Is merely dying slower or quicker.

After a while.

Zhongshan Kongzhou chuckled and said: "Sect Master jokes, since we’ve arrived at Zhongzhou Continent, how is there a reason to retreat now. Cultivation is like rowing against the current; not advancing means retreating.

If we retreat before the Divine Mandate Platform today, we will surely evade other difficulties in the future.

And thus, how can there be an opportunity to reach the summit."
