Tar World.
Heart City is considered the most virtuous place under the heavens, it is accessible from all directions, and the roads leading outside the city are extraordinarily wide, known as the ’Emperor Avenue’.
It is said that these ’Emperor Avenues’, where dozens of carriages can travel side by side, were constructed by an Emperor-level Tar of the past using the abilities of a contracted earth-elent Emperor Heart Beast.
Since a trace of the Emperor-level Heart Beast’s aura extends along the avenue, wild Heart Beasts retreat and dare not attack travelers on the roads, making it one of the safest routes.
On this day.
With the strong wind, a Wind God Winged Dragon with wings spanning over thirty ters landed outside the eastern gate of Heart City.
"Ah... It’s a Tar!"
"Oh no, the ’Rock Oxen’ pulling the cart are frightened... that is a King-level Heart Beast!"
"Could it be a King-level Tar who has co? He looks so young..."
"Perhaps soon, this person will be famous in the world, passing through the seven layers of Heart Tower, earning the title of Heavenly King."
...
Many onlookers were stunned.
This world, governed by the Holy Hall of Heart, confers Heavenly Kings to various lands. For instance, the ’King of Jade City’ is a King-level Tar who rules over a multitude of large and small cities, including Green Forest City!
However, to acquire the ’King’s title’ and territories, one must pass through the seven layers of Heart Tower and achieve the ’Heavenly King’ honor!
This is the Holy Hall of Heart’s thod of balance, benefiting the strong to maintain control.
Furthermore, those territories can only be ruled while the Heavenly King is alive. If the Heavenly King dies of old age, and the family does not produce a second Heavenly King, the Sealed Land will be reclaid or ’reassigned’.
It can be said that as long as one becos a King-level Tar, fa and fortune will naturally pour in.
This leads many young Tars to choose the path of the War Guardian, with most eting their end on their journeys.
"Finally here, Heart City."
Fang Xing leapt down from the back of the Wind God Winged Dragon, feeling a bit sentintal.
Now, he looks like a twenty-year-old young man.
The Fang family’s genes are decent, thus he looks fairly handso; of course, the key is his aura, which carries the majesty of a King.
It has been more than four years since he first tad the Wind God Winged Dragon.
If he had flown directly with the Wind God Winged Dragon to Heart City, he wouldn’t have needed more than ten days or half a month.
But Fang Xing obviously wouldn’t do that.
After clearing the Azure Dragon Mountain instance, he traveled extensively, visiting Titan Forest, Dark Abyss, and made a circuit around the East Sea, gathering the quota for five Heart Beasts, before arriving at Heart City.
Now, in his possession, the upper King-level, six-thousand-seven-hundred-year-old Wind God Winged Dragon is rely the weakest Heart Beast.
Its greatest effect will likely be, when Fang Xing encounters an Emperor Heart Beast he fancies, to be directly sacrificed as cannon fodder.
Fang Xing took out the Heart Image Sacred Scripture, stored away the Wind God Winged Dragon, and under the gaze of many admirers, formally entered Heart City.
"Heart Tower, Holy Hall of Heart... I’m here."
...
The Heart Church’s headquarters in Heart City, where the Holy Hall was established, is the most magnificent and vast.
In the plaza in front of the headquarters stands a pristine Jade Dragon statue.
This is the legendary Heart Beast, which once assisted the Holy Hall of Heart in unifying the world; the ’Bright Ying Dragon’!
This is a truly legendary Heart Beast with actual battle rits and instances!
Around the open-winged Ying Dragon, Fang Xing entered the magnificent chapel.
"It is said this chapel took over a hundred years from design to construction..."
He marveled at the vast and magnificent architecture, along with various epic murals, carvings, and statues... in awe.
’Even a mortal dynasty, by piling up work for a hundred or several hundred years... can create wonders of the world.’
’In such a world with transcendent power, spending a hundred years... isn’t rely a wonder.’
"Young Tar, how may I assist you?"
A priest in a white clerical robe approached.
He looked middle-aged, with eyes as pure as an innocent child.
"I co to offer tribute to the Master of Heart, and request His blessing to succeed in challenging the Heart Tower..."
Fang Xing took out a stack of gold tickets: "If possible, I’d also like to borrow so tos regarding Heart Power cultivation."
"Of course, the Master of Heart appreciates every Tar who earnestly battles."
The white-robed priest responded with a smile, accepting Fang Xing’s gold tickets: "The library of the Church is open to any King-level Tar..."
"Thank you."
Fang Xing nodded, accompanied by a priest to read books.
This white-robed priest maintained his smile, holding an ancient book, as all clerics along the way greeted him deferentially: "Holy Scripture Cardinal..."
Soon, the Holy Scripture Cardinal arrived at a small quiet room in the back of the chapel.
An elderly man wearing a golden crown was praying beneath the statue of the Master of Heart.
The Master of Heart offered here resembles a drop of white water.
"Your Holiness the Pope..."
The Holy Scripture Cardinal bowed respectfully.
"Another young man with potential has arrived. In him, I see a certain path of destiny..."
The old Pope spoke.
This Pope’s Lifebound Heart Beast is the ’Heavenly chanism Crow,’ which can foretell fortune and misfortune, know Destiny, but its combat ability is rather ordinary.
However, as long as any King-level Tar arrives at the Holy Hall headquarters, the Pope will sense it in advance and arrange the reception.
"A certain possibility of Destiny?"
The Holy Scripture Cardinal was taken aback.
This evaluation has exceeded those who have passed the eighth level of the Heart Tower before!
"Yes, but we shouldn’t get too close to him. When I see him, it’s like seeing a vortex of Destruction."
The Pope shook his head and spoke words that changed the Holy Scripture Cardinal’s expression drastically.
...
At the sa ti, in the library.
Fang Xing was opening a High Rank Secret Book on Heart Power cultivation, pondering: "At the Initial Rank of Heart Power, one continuously strengthens Heart Power through ditating on various patterns... When reaching High Rank, one needs to comprehend ’Wave’?"
"According to this Secret Book, everything has ’Wave,’ and the most important for Heart Power is to perceive the wave of the heart..."
"Is the ’heart’ here possibly referring to True Spirit?"
"Transcendence Inheritance... Where exactly is it?"
Fang Xing pondered, gazing out of the window.
From this angle, one could just see a pure white Sky Tower.
The tower was entirely pure white, towering into the clouds, seemingly with no end in sight.
It gives the impression of directly extending into the Sky Do, rging with the Nine Heavens.
Majestic, vast!
"Heart Tower! The greatest trial ground for Tars..."
"I finally get to experience it."
Fang Xing’s eyes carried a hint of anticipation...
...
The following day.
Heart Tower.
The tower is located northeast of the Heart City, surrounded by a large white marble square.
On the body of the tower, nurous vivid Heart Beast patterns are engraved.
Birds, fish, insects, mountains, rivers, and even the sun, moon, and stars can be found depicted on the tower, truly encompassing the Wanxiang.
And on the white marble square, at this ti, Tars were standing everywhere.
"Do you want the latest Heart Tower rankings, sir?"
So vendors, holding roughly made little booklets, were selling them everywhere.
"Song Gongling from South Town, known as ’Qilin Child,’ has a Lifebound Heart Beast with Qilin blood, the King quality... I think he will certainly pass the seventh level of Heart Tower before turning thirty..."
"Haha, the seventh level of Heart Tower, even King-level Tars may not be able to pass... Cultivating Heart Beasts is also extrely resource-intensive, thirty is too early... Historically, Heavenly Kings average over forty..."
The two Tars looked at the towering Heart Tower with indescribable envy.
"Haha, if we could pass the first three levels, it would be enough to beco famous in Heart City..."
These two Tars were wallowing in self-pity when they suddenly saw a young man approaching: "You two... What are the standards for challenging the Heart Tower?"
"Is this gentleman also a Tar?"
One of the Tars, upon seeing Fang Xing, smiled: "Is this your first ti in Heart City? This ’Heart Tower’ is extrely mysterious, it’s not simple to challenge, one must pass the Holy Hall’s assessnt and pay a certain fee... This is also to select the best, otherwise, if any Tar casually enters, it would cause chaos and waste..."
"In addition, the Heart Tower opens every six hours, sending the Tars inside out..."
Another Tar added, glancing at the sundial nearby: "Hmm... Six hours, it’s about ti."
Almost as his words fell, the Heart Tower roared, the door on the lowest level opened with a bang, and several Tars, covered in injuries, walked out stumbling.
One of them wore a purple dress, immortal energy wafting, eyes pure like a pool of autumn water.
"It’s Nangong Qiushui from the Nangong Family, rumored to be a Lord-level Tar at just eighteen..."
"This girl is indeed a prodigy, but still a bit immature; however, she definitely has hope of challenging the seventh level in the future..."
As the Tars were discussing fiercely, a light curtain appeared on the Heart Tower.
The light curtain displayed lines of text, with Nangong Qiushui ranked first.
[Nangong Qiushui: Five levels]
"Nangong Qiushui actually passed the fifth level?"
"Those who can pass the fifth level of Heart Tower are already the best among Lord-level Tars! The sixth level requires a King-level Tar... And to pass the seventh level and receive the title of Heavenly King, one must be a strong King-level!"
"This girl... terrifying indeed!"
At this point, the two Tars saw Fang Xing going forward and couldn’t help but say: "Wait, young man... Without the Holy Hall’s recomndation, you can’t get in..."
Unfortunately, Fang Xing turned a deaf ear, proceeded to the bottom of Heart Tower, and passed by Nangong Qiushui.
Then, he gently pushed open the Heart Tower door and entered.
"That person... actually went in?"
"He definitely passed the Holy Hall assessnt... Ah, we forget to ask his na; this young man can challenge the Heart Tower at such a young age, he will surely achieve greatness in the future."
The two Tars exchanged glances, both seeing the shock and regret on each other’s faces...
