Chapter 115: Chapter 116 Reward

"Wu Yin once visited the Wusheng Martial Arts Academy as a child."

Hearing Chu Fengmian’s question, Qu Wuyin’s face showed a touch of embarrassment and hurriedly changed the subject.

"Brother Chu, how much do you know about the Heavenly Road?"

"This Heavenly Road, every time it appears, a phantom will emerge. The first level’s phantom has the same strength as a Martial Artist, and then with each subsequent level, the phantom’s strength will increase."

Chu Fengmian calmly said.

These were all things he had heard from Yu Feng.

That was about the extent of Chu Fengmian’s knowledge of the Heavenly Road.

Nevertheless, Chu Fengmian was clear in his heart that the Heavenly Road was not as simple as it appeared. This Spiritual Artifact could certainly reach a level above the top grade of heaven.

This capability was most likely just the tip of the iceberg; he estimated that even the strongest members of the Wusheng Martial Arts Academy could not uncover the entirety of the Heavenly Road.

After all, the grade of the Heavenly Road was too high; even for the senior members of the Wusheng Martial Arts Academy, they could only understand a fraction and not fully control it.

Otherwise, whoever could control this Heavenly Road, would not only be invincible within the Wusheng Martial Arts Academy but even within the Wusheng kingdom and the Nine Domains, would be an extremely fearsome powerholder.

"It seems that Qu Wuyin’s identity, even if not from a big family of the Wusheng Martial Arts Academy, cannot be separated from the academy."

Chu Fengmian thought to himself. As for Qu Wuyin’s identity, Chu Fengmian had always been somewhat disinterested.

After all, no matter what Qu Wuyin’s identity was, Chu Fengmian wouldn’t care.

"Actually, apart from training Martial Artists, the Heavenly Road has another extremely important aspect, which is the rewards."

Qu Wuyin looked at Chu Fengmian with a smile and said.

"The rumors say that the Heavenly Road was built by a founding Ancestor of the Wusheng Martial Arts Academy. That Ancestor placed countless treasures on the Heavenly Road as rewards."

"In fact, every level you pass grants you a reward, and the higher the level you pass, the better the reward."

"Because of this, many Inner Sect Disciples, even Core Disciples, often challenge the Heavenly Road."

"However, these rewards can only be claimed once. For example, if you reached the tenth level on your last attempt and claimed the tenth level’s reward, then you can only claim again if you reach higher levels."

Qu Wuyin seemed to have a thorough understanding of the Heavenly Road, more detailed than what Yu Feng had explained.

Chu Fengmian quietly listened, picking up a key point.

Rewards.

According to Qu Wuyin, many Martial Artists who challenged the Heavenly Road did so for the rewards, which were enticing even for the Inner Sect Disciples and Core Disciples of the academy.

For Chu Fengmian, the attraction was certainly strong; what he needed most were resources.

He required endless resources to nourish the phantom of the ancient war dragon within his body.

Chu Fengmian initially thought it would be enough to display just a portion of his strength, but now it seemed that he should indeed aim for higher levels to obtain better rewards.

As for what Qu Wuyin said about the Heavenly Road being built by an ancestor of the Wusheng Martial Arts Academy, Chu Fengmian found it laughable.

If the Wusheng Martial Arts Academy had such an ancestor, how could it still be situated in such a minor location? It was probably just a story made up because they coincidentally acquired the Heavenly Road.

As the two conversed, the ark approached the thousand-zhang tower.

"Thud."

The ark stopped in front of a cliff, and countless Martial Artists leaped down from the ark, arriving in front of the tower.

Several elders were already waiting in front of the tower, and Chu Fengmian could sense dozens of presences hidden around the Heavenly Road.

The strength of these presences was at least at the Divine Sea realm, with the strongest few being in the Sovereign Wind realm.

"It seems quite a few strong figures from the Wusheng Martial Arts Academy have arrived," Chu Fengmian thought to himself.

Previously, Yu Feng had also said that this third trial of the Heavenly Road was not only to test the Martial Artists’ talents but also for some Hall Masters and elders to choose disciples.

These Hall Masters and elders were lurking around, ready to pick disciples if they saw one with satisfactory talent.

"Oh? Is there a presence whose strength I cannot see through?"

Observing the surrounding presences, Chu Fengmian’s expression slightly changed.

Among the numerous presences, there was one whose strength Chu Fengmian couldn’t discern.

With Chu Fengmian’s current Spiritual Sense, he could see through a Martial Artist at the peak of the Sovereign Wind realm at a glance. The only ones who could be beyond Chu Fengmian’s discernment were in the Divine Power realm.

Divine Power realm.

This was a realm completely different from the Sovereign Wind realm, meaning possessing the power of a god in a human body.

Although it sounded somewhat exaggerated, the Divine Power realm indeed differed drastically from the Sovereign Wind realm: not just in terms of power, but as if they were two distinct creatures.

For the Yao Beast clan, reaching the Divine Power realm warranted the honorable title of Yao God.

And for human Martial Artists stepping into the Divine Power realm, they would also be given the title of Saint.

A Saint, regardless of which kingdom they were in, would receive the highest respect, and even the Seven Great Sects would not underestimate a Saint.

Chu Fengmian hadn’t expected that the Wusheng Martial Arts Academy actually had some depth, even housing the presence of a Saint.

"This third trial, as many of you may know, is the Heavenly Road," an elder announced loudly, standing in front of the tower.

"Once you enter the tower, you will ascend the Heavenly Road, and within, you can fully display your strength, for many Hall Masters and elders will be watching. The stronger the strength you show, the more likely you are to be chosen."

"Once selected, you can choose to become a disciple, leaping directly to an Inner Sect Disciple. This is an extremely rare opportunity. Remember, show your strongest ability and do not conceal it."

"Even if you are not chosen, there’s no need for regrets. Becoming an Outer Sect Disciple, you can still attend classes, and if you are favored by another Hall Master or elder, you can also be promoted to Inner Sect."

"The order to enter the Heavenly Road is based on the reverse ranking from before. Yao Fang, come forward."

Following the elder’s words, a thin Martial Artist stepped out from the crowd.

The Martial Artist’s strength was only about the second level of the Body Refining realm, which shouldn’t have allowed him to pass the second trial. But because the ancient Dragon Turtle killed more than a hundred Qing Alliance Martial Artists in a stroke, he was lucky enough to make it to this round.

"Enter and show your best."

"Yes."

The Martial Artist named Yao Fang stepped into the Heavenly Road.
