Chu Jingtian felt that he couldn’t breathe very well…that handwave was far more than just self-defense!

“Do you think Brother Ye will attend the tournament in two days?” he asked, still dumbfounded.

“The master’s plans…heh heh, you’ll learn that in two days.” Yan Qinghong smiled mysteriously. “The two of you better do your best to prepare. If you need anything, let me know. I’ll contact you when the time is here.” He gave them a nod before stepping out once more.

Staring at his receding silhouette, Chu Jingtian seemed like he was in a daze for quite a while.

“My grandfather once told me that if you want to hide your aura in front of someone perfectly, you have to be a whole level higher than them. I tried it that day and didn’t feel anything, did they…this is incredible.”

Leng Ya was silent.

“Hey, cold-face, what kind of amazing character do you think Brother Ye is, for such strong people to…to…hey! We should address him as master!” Chu Jingtian said, prodding Leng Ya.

Still expressionless, Leng Ya retreated to the corner and sat down. Soon enough his aura was completely gone.

Chu Jingtian knew it was harder to force him to talk than to force a fart, so he sat next to him. Soon enough his heart and soul were one, and all of his disparate thoughts had been pushed out of his mind. No matter if it were fighting or magic, you couldn’t abandon the training of the heart and aura.

Two days later, was the day of the Tian Chen Magic Force Meeting.

“This is the place where the meeting is happening?” Chu Jingtian gazed around, asking with surprise.

It was a cliff face of a thousand foot drop. Underneath the cliff were tumbling waves of seawater…no, it was lakewater. Gazing out, the sky and water extended out for eternity, with no sight of an end. At a great distance on the surface of the water, a long, thin pillar rose into the heavens, too high to see the top. Behind them was a large empty space at the top of the cliff, an uneven, muddy ground.

“Yes. This is the core of the Heavenly Star Continent. It’s called Fallen Star Cliff. What we’re looking at is the largest lake in the Heavenly Star Continent, Fallen Star Lake. Neither this land nor this lake belong to any singular nation.” Yan Qinghong said, looking straight ahead.

“Then why is no one here?” Chu Jingtian glanced around. The whole way walking up, they hadn’t seen anyone.

“Heh heh. Although this tournament is only hosted once every twenty-five years, only a few dozen people usually have the courage to attend. It’s only deserted right now because we arrived early.” Yan Qinghong said with a chuckle. Next to him was Grandma Conghua, also smiling–Yan Qingping.

“I see.” Chu Jingtian surveyed the location once again, frowning. “But this is such a steep cliff. If there’s excessive force during the tournament, won’t this place collapse?”

“Hahahaha.” Yan Qinghong laughed out loud. “The first time I came here, I thought the same thing. But the reason this is the setting for the tournament is not only because it’s the center of the continent. More importantly, the soil here is as hard as steel. It’s not so easy to destroy it.”

“Oh? Let me try.” Chu Jingtian was quite intrigued. Leaping back, he slammed his fist down onto the ground.

If he were striking normal rock with that fist, it would shatter into pieces. But his punch only brought a light sound of cracking. Chu Jingtian lifted his aching fist in awe. Only a tiny dent had been made in the ground.

“Wow! It really is hard, almost like metal.” Chu Jingtian exclaimed, then muttered, “Or maybe it is actually metal?”

“Legend says that because the soil here is close to God’s Way Tower, it’s protected by the gods. That’s why it’s so hard. You’re quite impressive already to be able to affect the shape of the soil.” Yan Qingping said with a smile. Her old wrinkled skin looked like bark.

“God’s Way Tower? Is that it?” Chu Jingtian pointed out the incredibly tall pillar in the middle of the lake…because it was so far, all they could see was the skinny shape of a pillar.

Yan Qinghong nodded. “Yes. It’s exactly in the center of the Heavenly Star Continent. Do you know where it gets its name?”

“Um, why?”

“Because of the legends that it’s the only opening from this continent into the realm of gods,” Yan Qinghong said with a serious expression.

“The continent of gods? I’ve heard about it from my grandpa. It’s a completely different world. To the people of the Heavenly Star Continent, the people there are true gods. Any of them would be as strong as my grandfather, and some of them are even stronger. Is that really the way to the continent of gods?” Chu Jingtian asked in disbelief.
