Linghu Ling frowned.
Zhu Minglang did not know what to do.
The will of the Heavens was different for everyone.
Although Zhu Minglang and Linghu Ling had already seen through the fact that this test was man-made, the man with the Divine Runes was far more powerful than they had expected.
He claimed to be an examiner.
He set questions for the Chosen Ones on behalf of God.
However, he was just teasing everyone according to his own preferences and interests.
"Why? Do you want to be my enemy?
"Think about it. Why didn't I catch some wild dogs to play with when I was young? Why did I choose ants instead?
"Why didn't I play with the Exalted Gods in higher places? Why did I play with you?
"You two smart little guys, continue on your way. I'm not someone you can defeat at your current level." The man with the Divine Rune smiled. His eyes were full of confidence.
Zhu Minglang was not an iron-headed person.
He walked towards the end of the lone peak where there was clearly no path. However, at this moment, a majestic mountain appeared out of nowhere and surged towards the Supporting Heaven God Peak. Furthermore, he could no longer see any valleys along the way. It was a highland that was completely connected to the Supporting Heaven God Peak!
Linghu Ling was hesitant, but in the end, she chose to follow Zhu Minglang. She walked down the path that led to the mountain.
The man with the Divine Rune kept his promise. He did not show any hostility toward Zhu Minglang and Linghu Ling. However, he still looked at them as they left. They were just two smart little toys.
…
"If we trust each other and work together to defeat him, what are our chances of winning?" Zhu Minglang asked Linghu Ling, who was behind him.
"Less than 30%," Linghu Ling answered seriously.
Linghu Ling was not in a good mood after being fooled by a mysterious God.
But for now, there was no benefit in fighting such a high-level god.
"What level do you think he is in the outside world?" Zhu Minglang asked again.
"At least the Master God level."
"Oh, he's not bad."
"…"
Zhu Minglang had been staying in the Dragon Gate, a place where deities gathered, for some time now.
Gods were also divided into different levels, just like Dragon Shepard and the mortals.
God's Son, God General, God Master, Shenjun, God King.
Within the Dragon Gate, Zhu Minglang might not be too far apart from the man with the Divine Inscriptions. However, in the outside world, this man was an undefeatable god.
There was no need to provoke them.
He was actually quite gentle.
What he said was quite reasonable.
Even humans had strange hobbies, let alone gods.
"What he's doing is basically stopping many of the Chosen Ones at the foot of the mountain. The ones we're going to encounter are either Advanced Gods or Pioneers like us," Linghu Ling said.
"Then it won't be easy to bait and enforce the law." Zhu Minglang sighed softly, but he soon realized something and immediately said seriously, "Miss, from what you said, do you want to go with me? I was just worried that the obstacle might be too strong, so I decided to team up with you. As for the rest of the journey, we'll go our separate ways. "
Zhu Minglang still hadn't walked out of Yu Shanhan's shadow.
"I don't like traveling with men either. I'm just analyzing with you," Linghu Ling said.
"That's good."
"Do you understand the sword manual? Do you need some guidance?" Linghu Ling asked.
"No, it's not difficult."
Linghu Ling smiled and didn't say anything else.
He was also a very proud man.
The Alioth Sword Manual was divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.
Out of the three sets of sword techniques that Linghu Ling had given Zhu Minglang, two of them were Earth-tier sword manuals while the other one was Heaven-tier sword manuals. Not to mention the fact that it was difficult for sword cultivators outside of Alioth Star Palace to learn, there were plenty of peerless geniuses in their Star Palace who could not learn it even after spending decades.
Not difficult?
Linghu Ling didn't know how he could say that.
However, there was nothing Linghu Ling could do if he was so proud.
…
After parting ways, Zhu Minglang headed in a direction that he believed would allow him to climb the Sky Reaching Peak faster. He went through the complicated sword moves in his mind as he walked.
"Speaking of which, this Alioth Star Palace's sword technique gives me a familiar feeling, especially when every move is like a step. I have to understand every step before I can walk up the mountain. At the same time, I have to master these moves through a comprehensive study …"
"It's similar to the stairs at the Xuan Mountain Sword Sect. Each step has a sword move drawn on it."
"Could it be that the Alioth Sword Sect is related to the Xuan Mountain Sword Sect?"
Zhu Minglang suddenly thought of this. He quickly turned around and wanted to ask Linghu Ling if the Alioth Sword Sect had branches somewhere else …
However, Linghu Ling obviously didn't take the rugged path. She was walking along the ancient path instead.
"Wouldn't it be demeaning to chase after them and ask? Forget it. If they are really related, I'll find out in the future," Zhu Minglang muttered to himself.
"Zhu Minglang, let me tell you, what I said to Yu Shanhan wasn't without basis. Since you are choosing an Orthodox God, you should think in the direction of what a God should do. Otherwise, no matter how high your Life Providence is, you will never become an Orthodox God," Mr. Koi said.
"It doesn't matter if I become an Orthodox God or not. As long as I'm strong enough that the Gods don't dare to provoke me, it's fine," Zhu Minglang said.
"I told you that the Dragon Gate has nine levels. This is only the first level. Without the approval of God, you will never be able to enter the next level. You won't be able to see the full picture of this world," Mr. Koi said.
"Alright, then you should be more reliable. Help me figure out how to become an Orthodox God," Zhu Minglang said.
"I can only slowly analyze it with you. In fact, I suggest that you travel with Linghu Ling. At the very least, you can learn something from her that we haven't come into contact with yet. That will open up some of my thoughts and recall some of my older memories," Mr. Koi said.
"She's already far away." Zhu Minglang curled his lips.
Why didn't he say so earlier?
Zhu Minglang wasn't the kind of person who couldn't swallow his pride.
"Perhaps it's easy for us to overcomplicate things, especially when the heavens threw us here and only gave us some vague orders. However, from the very beginning, the heavens had already told us what to do, such as this Sky Mountain," Mr. Koi said.
"To put it bluntly, the Sky Peak is a mountain that supports the sky. The sky is the top, and the peak is the pillar … does that mean that if the Sky Peak collapses, the Dragon Gate World will be destroyed?" Zhu Minglang said.
Zhu Minglang recalled what Mr. Koi had said to Yu Shanhan.
To share God's burden.
Pangu created the world. He split the chaos with his axe. The sky was above and the earth was below. Since the world was chaotic in the beginning, even after splitting the sky and the earth, they were still slowly coming together. Therefore, Pangu used his body as a huge pillar to push the sky up and the earth down. That was how the world of Heaven and Earth was created. That was how the ancestors gradually appeared …
…
With that in mind, Zhu Minglang purposely paid attention to the sky and the earth.
He then began to climb higher. Although it was a mountain that led to the sky, the mountain was huge and had all kinds of landforms …
Zhu Minglang passed through a snow-covered ancient forest and confirmed that he was at a relatively high position.
He looked up at the sky again and surveyed the earth.
If Mr. Koi had not said those words, Zhu Minglang would not have thought that there was anything strange about the Dragon Gate World. However, he felt that something was amiss now!
It was the same feeling he had when he first entered the Dragon Gate!
"I don't know if it's my imagination, but I feel that this place is narrower than the world outside," Zhu Minglang said.
Zhu Minglang had such a feeling in the beginning.
The earth was boundless, and the sky was vast. However, the distance between them seemed to be much closer. Moreover, the world he saw when he first came to the Dragon Gate was different from when he was looking at it now.
"Whether it's your imagination or reality, we'll only know when we climb to the highest point," said Mr. Koi.
"Yes, we can't tell if the earth is floating. We can only climb higher." Zhu Minglang nodded.
…
After passing through a series of boiling hot rocks, Zhu Minglang once again climbed to another height. Although he met some gods and God's Chosen Ones along the way, most of them did not communicate with others. While they were calm, there was a sense of caution and hostility.
These people were also looking for something.
They seemed to be prying into the mysteries of heaven. They were sharper and stronger than those who were trapped at the foot of the mountain. However, at the same time, he could see that they were wandering in confusion in the Sky Reaching Peak.
Zhu Minglang was fine. With Mr. Koi's guidance, he had a clear direction.
He stepped into the series of hot rocky mountains and saw a stone cliff that extended outwards. There was no place to stand on the cliff. There was only a narrow stone belt that looked like a plank road. By stepping on the stone belt, one could reach the place with the widest field of vision at this height.
Zhu Minglang was observing the distance between heaven and earth.
He needed to confirm that this world was indeed "narrow." The narrowness between heaven and earth!
However, when Zhu Minglang was walking sideways toward the cliff, he saw a person blocking the path.
The person stood there and looked at Zhu Minglang.
"I will visualize again. Fellow Daoist, if you don't want to cause trouble, please go back the way you came." The man's tone was somewhat domineering. It was as if his politeness was forced. He had other thoughts in his mind.
"Unfortunately, I also want to visualize here. Friend, can you share this place?" Zhu Minglang did not intend to retreat.
The sun and moon alternated very quickly here. Zhu Minglang did not fight much these days, so his cultivation level did not increase. Moreover, his spiritual bead fruit was constantly being consumed. He did not know if it was because his cultivation level had increased or because the suppression of cultivation level was stronger at this height, but there was not much spiritual bead fruit left from Peng Chen.
During this time, Zhu Minglang did not encounter any Demon Gods or Ancient Beasts. Under such circumstances, he had to make a move on the Chosen Gods and Gods in the other mountains.
"Hmph, since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, then die!" The domineering Prince Charming said disdainfully.
