1052 Mount Penta-Tier, The Five Heavens! (1/2)
Hearing him, everyone's expression became serious.
They had finally arrived…The place that would decide the winners of the Celestial Luck Banners!
Yun Yang peered ahead and saw a white mist fill the heaven and earth hundreds of miles in the distance. When he looked at it carefully, he only saw a vast sea of clouds, and the rest could not be seen clearly. He did not even see the Mount Penta-Tier mentioned by Luo Dajiang.
”That is the Fog of Celestial Luck. It has completely enveloped the entire Mount Penta-Tier at the moment...What an amazing sight to behold!”
Luo Dajiang took a deep breath and his expression became solemn as he said in a deep voice, ”Mount Penta-Tier is also called the Five Heavens by the warriors under the Sacred Heart Palace. As the name implies, every time you climb one more tier on this Mount Penta-Tier, it is equivalent to ascending one more layer of heaven! Therefore, the scenery on the higher mountains is naturally completely different from that under the mountains.
”Such a statement does make sense. The lowest level of Mount Penta-Tier holds the qualification battle, which is also the starting point of the elimination battle, while the second level is the place to compete for the lower-class Celestial Luck Banners. Few can cross this level, and even we might not be able to cross it this time. The third level is where people fight for the medial-class Celestial Luck Banners. The fighting there is even grander, but the number of participants is extremely few. As for the battle of the superior-class Celestial Luck Banners held on the fourth level, it is far beyond our level, and hence useless to talk about. The fifth level, which is also the highest level, is the place which the Sacred Heart Palace's higher-ups use for supervision. The scenery on each level of the mountain is completely different.”
Before this, Yun Yang had already learned something about Mount Penta-Tier from Qian Duoduo, Shi Wuchen, and even Dong Qitian. But when he heard Luo Dajiang's explanation, he felt enlightened again. ”Does this mountain have a spatial origin? Does the saying that every time one climbs one more tier of mountain, one is equivalent to ascending one more layer of heaven, exist since a long time ago?” He asked casually.
”No. It is said that this mountain was just a very ordinary mountain before, but it has been surrounded by an abundant sacred power and protected by celestial luck since it was chosen as the place to hold the battles of Celestial Luck Banners. Over time, it has really become a sacred place with extraordinary abilities.”
Yun Yang's curiosity was aroused. ”Oh? The so-called 'sacred place with extraordinary abilities' surely has some other meaning, right?”
”How should I put this...I've only heard of it but not witnessed it with my own eyes. I heard that there are countless mysteries hidden in this Mount Penta-Tier, and the most magical of them is that those who die in the battle of the Celestial Luck Banners can be resurrected on the spot after the battle is decided.”
”In other words, there is only victory and defeat in this battle, not death.”
Yun Yang nodded and asked, ”Does it have any limits? Can those killed in the qualification battle be resurrected as well?”
Luo Dajiang said with a wry smile, ”It doesn't go that far. Only those killed in the battle of the Celestial Luck Banners can be resurrected. There are too many people taking part in the qualification battle. If all of them can be resurrected, then this magic is not valuable anymore! Those who take part in the mere qualification battle are not eligible to enjoy the treatment of being resurrected by celestial luck.”
”We've never really participated in the battle of the Celestial Luck Banners, so the details must be based on the actual situation,” he added. ”Everything will have to wait until then before a final conclusion can be reached upon. You can't count on what I've said.”
Looking at the thick fog in the distance, Yun Yang said lightly, ”I understand. Mount Penta-Tier is only about four days away, so we have some extra time. I think we will rest and recuperate here for a night, so we will go there in our best condition tomorrow morning.”
”I want all disciples to have a good rest and give me your best condition tomorrow. Do you understand?”
...
It was quiet throughout the night. Yun Yang himself did not care much about the battle, but because it was the first time they were taking part in such a major event, he could not show such an attitude. After all, this event was sacred to the whole Residence of Nine Supremes and needed to be taken seriously.
