CHAPTER 297 (1/2)
“Heh heh, this is just a legend, no one really knows if it’s true or not. Rumor says that this tower existed in this lake during the earliest days of humanity to prevent anyone from disrupting the balance of power on the Heavenly Star Continent, and also gave the dominating powers of this continent a chance to rise above the stars and go to the continent of gods. According to legend, anyone who can climb to the top of the tower and defeat the person there will be allowed to access the continent of gods.” Yan Qinghong explained slowly.
Chu Jingtian and Leng Ya were moved by listening to this incredible legend. “Has anyone tried?” Chu Jingtian asked.
“Of course. Since the olden days, countless individuals have risen to the peak of power on this continent. But I’ve never heard of anyone succeeding. So whether or not one can head to the heavenly realm, there’s no basis of fact. But other than the gods, who could construct such a tower? I don’t think that part of the legend is false.”
“Never?”
“Never.” Yan Qinghong responded.
“Not even my grandfather?”
“Hahaha…” Yan Qinghong shook his head with a laugh. “Seven hundred years ago, a champion who seemed strong as the gods attempted to climb up the God’s Way Tower three times so he could access the continent of gods and obtain a legendary breakthrough. But each of the three times he failed. The final time, he climbed for seven days and nights with remarkable fortitude and strength, but never saw the peak of the tower. Finally he fell from exhaustion. Although he survived, he was drained of all his powers and became crippled. Soon thereafter he died, full of regret.”
“S-s-even days, seven nights?!” Chu Jingtian was so shocked his jaw almost fell off, his eyes even wider than a cow’s. He turned his gaze to Leng Ya standing next to him, stuttering. “Did you hear that, seven days seven nights!”
How much could a champion with godlike powers climb in seven days and seven nights? It must be a staggering number. Yet still he failed to even see the top. So how tall must this tower be…more frighteningly, such a tall tower with such a thin body somehow still managed to stay standing after so many years, never falling or wavering.
It was impossible that humans could have achieved something like that.
Leng Ya snorted. Only an ignorant idiot like this could have never heard the legend of the God’s Way Tower.
“Haha, so what if you reach the top of the tower? What is there to do in the continent of gods? The strength those champions obtained is the creme of the crop here, allowing them to do whatever they want and live however they like without anyone interfering. But if they go to the continent of the gods, they’ll only be average there. Only real idiots who have bought into all that crap about martial arts and magic would want to go there.”
“You’re so right! Dad, you’re exactly right. But if big brother Master went to the continent of gods, I would go too.”
“Ah, you little brat. Just give me a break in front of so many people.”
Two voice, one hearty and free-spirited, one airy and melodic, rang out behind them, as well as several footsteps. Yan Qinghong and Yan Qingping had sensed their presence long ago, and watched them approach with smiles on their faces. Chug Jintian and Leng Ya turned around at the same time. Now it was five people, three men and two women. The three men were one old, one middle-aged, one young, while the two women were middle-aged and young respectively.
The man walking in the very front was dressed very simply. He looked to be in his sixties, and wore a kind smile. Behind him a middle-aged woman followed in clothes of rough fabric. She looked like she came straight out of the countryside, and the weathered looks on their faces made them look like a farmer couple who labored in the fields day after day. The young man and woman walking next to them were a lot more eye-catching. The man was in his twenties and wore a sharp black outfit from head to toe. His eyes were bright with intensity, with a powerful aura. The woman walking next to him was beautiful, with bright teeth and pretty eyes, and looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen. Yet she was the tallest out of all of them. She was willowy but not too thin, wearing a decorative light yellow dress that hung to her ankles, hiding legs that were clearly long, slender, and graceful.
“Tianwei, seems like we were all a bit early getting here.” Yan Qinghong said to the old man.
“Heh heh. You should view that as a positive. At least we can observe every other attendee, without missing a single one.” The old man responded with a smile.
“Absolutely.” Yan Qinghong nodded.
“So you’re Master’s friends? Hey, hey! What are you looking at! I’m big brother Master’s woman. Even if you’re his friends, I’ll dig your eyeballs out!” The young girl who Chu Jingtian was staring at put her hands on her hips, and threatened him in her pretty voice.
