"Big brother... I... I seem to have been here before..."
The mories in her mind kept shifting, and Ai’ai seed to rember sothing.
"You’ve been wandering in the Cosmos for who knows how long. It’s normal to have been to the Central Star Domain," Wang Xu looked at Ai’ai’s confused eyes, the expression of hard thinking, he knew she had a long past. Although her mory was gone, she vaguely had impressions of places she had visited.
The Space-Ti Whale quickly approached, and Lu Chen and Wang Xu were ready.
"This is the Wu ng Central Star Domain, the center of the entire Wu ng Sacred Cosmos. As long as we can reach the exclusive point of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion and hand over Ai’ai, we can exchange for a thousand pieces of Wu ng Spirit Essence," Wang Xu thought to himself, "Although this is unfair to Ai’ai, this is the only way for now. Otherwise, if her identity is exposed, not a single one of us will survive."
A thousand pieces of Wu ng Spirit Essence ant that Wang Xu could not possibly keep Ai’ai by his side. Even if not for his own sake, he had to consider the lineage of Earth’s humanity within the Holy Image Mixed Cosmos.
......
Putting away the Space-Ti Whale, the three of them landed on the largest Main Star.
"That is the Wu ng Divine Hall. Do you see that Suspended Ladder? I was once one of them." Brother Lu Chen pointed into the distance, and Wang Xu followed his gaze to see a majestic palace mansion standing in the void, with a wide and long Suspended Ladder leading straight to the palace.
On the Suspended Ladder, tens of thousands of Wu ng Warriors were moving forward, either quickly or slowly. So Wu ng Warriors couldn’t bear it, fell to their knees, retreated repeatedly, and chose to abandon by flying off the Suspended Ladder.
"To climb this Suspended Ladder, you must endure the Life Suppression emitted by the statue in the Wu ng Divine Hall above," Brother Lu Chen explained, "Life Suppression tests the Life Index. The higher the Life Index, the greater the possibility of passing. Unlike the Suru Celestial Ladder you’ve experienced, the Wu ng Warriors climbing the Suspended Ladder undergo different Life Suppression according to their different realms. However, in the Wu ng Sacred Cosmos, the generally low Life Index of Wu ng Warriors ans that out of a million, it is not certain that even one can pass."
"Brother Lu Chen, with my current strength, I should have no problem climbing the Suspended Ladder, right?" Wang Xu asked, gazing at the Suspended Ladder from a distance.
"Naturally, there’s no problem. Your strength has already surpassed the Demigod Chaos Realm. Just based on this point alone, you can pass the Suspended Ladder," Brother Lu Chen smiled, "But don’t get too happy too soon. Passing the Suspended Ladder is only the first step into the Wu ng Divine Hall. You will still face challenges from the Divine Hall Guards after that. With your strength, the probability of victory is high."
"After winning, if you want to fight for the Wu ng Divine Stone, the next challenge will be the most brutal competition. So, after entering the Wu ng Divine Hall, do not easily choose to compete for the Wu ng Divine Stone. Wait until you have enough strength," Lu Chen advised.
Wang Xu nodded, looking thoughtful at the majestic palace mansion in the void.
"Let’s go, first to the exclusive point of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion to hand Ai’ai over to them."
Then, Lu Chen took the lead, with Wang Xu and Ai’ai following unhurriedly behind.
......
"What?!"
Lu Chen frowned, "Brother Lu Ya is not here?"
The exclusive point of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion is essentially a chanical building dedicated to receiving disciples from the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion and handling related affairs.
Wang Xu and the others had just arrived and were eager to et the person in charge of the exclusive point, "Brother Lu Ya."
But unexpectedly, Brother Lu Ya had ventured outside 25,000 years ago and had not returned since.
"Brother Lu Chen, isn’t there anyone besides Brother Lu Ya who can contact the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion at the entire exclusive point?" Wang Xu frowned.
Brother Lu Chen shook his head gravely, "No."
"You should know that those who want to enter the Wu ng Sacred Cosmos from outside, their Cosmic Martial Artist realm must be below the Celestial God Realm..."
Wang Xu nodded. Cosmic Martial Artists below the Celestial God Realm wouldn’t be detected by the super-strong beings in the Wu ng Sacred Cosmos. Conversely, if an outsider in the Celestial God Realm enters, it will imdiately alarm the super-strong beings of the Wu ng Sacred Cosmos—however, before the super-strong beings arrive, the person in the Celestial God Realm will first be obliterated by the Cosmic Law.
Any presence exposed to the outside world will be targeted for obliteration by the Cosmic Law.
"Brother Lu Ya’s realm is in the Demigod Chaos Realm, but his true strength has already reached the ’Peak Initial Celestial God,’ making him the strongest among the many disciples of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion. Thus, the elders of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion entrusted him with the contact thod, making him responsible for the exclusive point," Brother Lu Chen explained, "But unexpectedly, Brother Lu Ya has been away for 25,000 years, surely encountering so problem, or he would not have remained away for so long."
The Initial Celestial God Realm is when soone in the Demigod Chaos Realm has just broken through to beco a Celestial God.
Above the Initial Celestial God, there are "Hundred Generations Celestial Gods," "Eternal Generations Celestial Gods," and "Billion Era Celestial Gods."
And within the Initial Celestial God, there are four sub-realms: Ordinary, Elite, Peak, and Absolute Pinnacle. Brother Lu Ya was at the Peak Initial Celestial God stage.
For soone whose strength has already reached the peak initial stage, 25,000 years is like a blink of an eye. However, since Brother Lu Ya is the one responsible for the exclusive point, 25,000 years is long enough for several waves of newcors. This indicates that Brother Lu Ya encountered so trouble outside and cannot easily extricate himself.
"As long as Brother Lu Ya doesn’t return, we cannot contact the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion, and Ai’ai cannot be handed over!" Wang Xu felt an inexplicable anxiety in his heart.
Ai’ai is like a ti bomb; nobody knows when she’ll explode. Initially, we planned to hand her over to the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion, but who knew we wouldn’t be able to contact them now!
"There’s another way," Lu Chen suddenly spoke.
"What way?" Wang Xu asked.
"Wu ng Spirit Essence," Lu Chen said, "As long as we hold the Wu ng Spirit Essence, the people from the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion can sense our location and transport us back, but..."
"Holding the Wu ng Spirit Essence only allows it to be sensed, aning if the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion doesn’t notice and contact us, we still have to stay in the Wu ng Sacred Cosmos and continue waiting for Brother Lu Ya to return."
Wang Xu furrowed his brows deeply.
This thod fundantally doesn’t work. Leaving aside whether we can find a piece of Wu ng Spirit Essence, just trying to hold it securely so the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion people can sense it—who would dare to be so brazen?
Fear that as soon as you take out the Wu ng Spirit Essence, you’d be surrounded by nurous superpowers, instantly blasted to bits, and they’d snatch the Wu ng Spirit Essence.
"Other than that, we can only wait for Brother Lu Ya to co back," Lu Chen sighed helplessly.
Wang Xu looked down at Ai’ai. Her big eyes blinked in confusion about their conversation, not understanding what it ant.
"Since that’s the case, let’s stay settled here for now and wait quietly."
With no other choice, they must accept the reality. As for Ai’ai, as long as they don’t let her contact others and discover the prokaryote of the Wu ng Sacred Cosmos, they won’t see through Ai’ai’s identity.
......
The two chose a secluded place and bought two adjacent Palace Mansions to start planning.
"Let’s go climb the Suspended Ladder tomorrow. Entering the Wu ng Divine Hall will bring many benefits, significantly helping enhance our strength," Lu Chen suggested.
"But what about Ai’ai?" Wang Xu patted Ai’ai’s head while she was savoring a piece of lollipop, happily squinting her eyes, "I can’t put her into any Folding Space. Leaving her here would only expose her identity."
"It’s indeed a problem," Lu Chen also pondered.
Ai’ai is their biggest issue now. Let her go carelessly, and the thousand Wu ng Spirit Essences are lost, leaving both of them unwilling. But continuing to take her ans they can’t enter the Wu ng Divine Hall.
A mont later, Lu Chen spoke.
"Let’s try it," Lu Chen looked at Ai’ai, "Ai’ai is the Heart of Wu ng, and the test of the Suspended Ladder is Life Suppression. Perhaps there will be special conditions."
The Heart of Wu ng is the hub of the entire Wu ng Sacred Cosmos, where the prokaryote resides.
Her life level is undoubtedly high; she might truly cross the Suspended Ladder successfully!
Wang Xu’s eyes lit up, looking at Ai’ai’s sugary, flowery face, "Great, let’s take her to challenge the Suspended Ladder together!"
......
anwhile, inside the Wu ng Divine Hall.
This was a grand hall, imnsely spacious, centralized within the Wu ng Divine Hall, made entirely of silver; the ground, walls, ceiling, beams, and columns were all a sheet of silver.
But only above the grand hall was a solitary chair shrouded in golden mist.
The chair was entirely gold, engraved with mysterious patterns and symbols. Each corner of the chair had lifelike sculptures of Star Giant Beasts, either roaring, angry, long howling, or lanting—
This seat could only be occupied by the most dignified person in the entire Wu ng Divine Hall, but it’s been ages since anybody sat on it.
"Lord Wuer, the Holy Queen has left us for sixty Law Eras, and the Wu ng Divine Hall hasn’t held a Genius Selection for sixty Law Eras. Continuing like this, the people of the Wu ng Divine Hall will wither, becoming few and far between," a Divine Hall Envoy wrapped in a silver robe said respectfully.
Opposite the Divine Hall Envoy was a seductive woman in a red robe, with a graceful figure, noble and icy deanor, exuding an aura as cold as an iceberg, making her hard to approach.
"The Holy Queen said that as long as she doesn’t return, the Genius Selection won’t be held. Only the person she chooses can enter this ’Wu ng Silver Hall,’" the seductive red-robed woman Wuer said indifferently, "The Wu ng Divine Hall doesn’t lack geniuses. If you think geniuses are dwindling, you can select suitable ones from the Wu ng Warriors who pass the Suspended Ladder, without needing to intervene."
"Yes, Lord Wuer," the silver-robed Divine Hall Envoy answered respectfully.
"The Holy Queen said she will resolve all her wishes within a hundred Law Eras and return to the Holy Seat. We just need to wait patiently."
