Although Xiao Feng Chen had personally brought Ling Chen to the foot of the Godchild Peak, it was evident that he didn't believe that Ling Chen had the ability to reach the peak. This was something that no human had been able to do in tens of thousands of years. This included the pinnacle of humanity … the Mysterious God realm.
Looking around, Su Chen was very clear about his surroundings. There were no monsters at the foot of the mountain, which meant that he wouldn't meet any obstacles. If he wanted to climb it, he would only be challenging the peak itself.
"How many times have you climbed the Godchild Peak? What's the highest you've climbed? "Ling Chen asked.
Xiao Feng Chen grinned and said, "A thousand years ago, I climbed it about 14-15 times. The highest I reached was about 9,900 meters. At that time, I used a large amount of protective magic treasures to reach the limit, but in the end, I was still a step away from the height of 10,000 meters. However, I couldn't cross this step no matter what. Over the countless years, the number of people who have reached 10,000 meters can be counted on one hand, and all of them have reached the Mysterious God realm. However, no one has ever reached the peak. Never! "
The words "never" were uttered in an incomparably clear and resolute manner.
Never … not even the Mysterious God realm … Ling Chen's heart couldn't help but jump as he asked, "What's the highest point that someone can reach?"
Xiao Feng Chen thought for a moment, then replied, "Currently, the highest point that a human can reach has been maintained for 3,700 years. 3,700 years ago, a Mysterious God Shield Guard named 'Immovable Sky Tower', who was also recognized as the strongest guardian in the human world at that time, used his powerful body and heaven-defying willpower to climb to the 11,000-meter mark of the Godchild Peak. This was a mythical height that no one had ever reached except him. Then, he knew that he could no longer move forward, so he used a teleportation item to struggle to leave … When he left the Godchild Peak, he was already on the verge of death. It took him nearly ten years to recover his vitality. "
"At that time, he said … from 10,000 to 11,000 meters, every step is a hopeless situation. But after 11,000 meters … every step is like reaching the heavens!"
Ling Chen fell silent.
Xiao Feng Chen looked at him and said, "Now, do you still want to go to the top? You should know that although there are no monsters on the Godchild Peak, there are countless corpses buried from the waist up. "
"Apart from humans, do other creatures have the ability to climb up there?"
Xiao Feng Chen didn't even think as he nodded, "Of course! If one had the strength of a Saint Destroyer, there was no place in the world that they could not go. Climbing to the top of the Godchild Peak would be a piece of cake. In addition, powerful ice-type creatures could also easily reach the top. At the height of 5,500 meters, the Godchild Peak was already covered in snow. From there, the temperature dropped with every step. At 7,000 meters, it was close to the limit of human endurance. At 8,000 meters, it was enough to make people die in the cold. At 9,000 meters, the snow was filled with corpses. At 10000 meters, it was an icy purgatory. Those who could reach that height were all at the pinnacle of their time. At 10,000 meters, even if they were at the pinnacle of humanity, every step they took was a purgatory, a step of life and death. However, the effect on ice-type creatures is naturally much smaller. "
Every sentence that Xiao Feng Chen spoke caused Ling Chen's head to hurt even more. All of Xiao Feng Chen's answers told him the same thing … humans wanting to climb to the top of the Godchild Peak? Absolutely impossible! Over the countless years, the highest that the Forgotten Continent's human world had ever reached was 11,000 metres, and the last 1,000 metres was thousands of times more difficult than the previous 11,000 metres.
The Spirit Xuan powerhouses of the human race possessed enormous vitality, willpower, and the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth. But, none of them had ever succeeded. Moreover, Ye Xiwen's vitality could be said to be extremely fragile compared to that of a Spirit Xuan powerhouse.
Compared to the other orbs, the location of this orb was simply too cruel … in fact, Ling Chen wasn't even sure if Su 'Er's information was pointing to the top of the Godchild Peak.
However, those 15 orbs were things that he had to obtain. No matter how terrifying the Godchild Peak was, and no matter if he would end up empty-handed, as long as there was a possibility that one of the orbs was at the top, he had to go up no matter what!
No one had ever reached the top of the Godchild Peak? Humans definitely couldn't reach it?
He had never believed in the word 'impossible'! In this world, there was nothing that was truly 'impossible'!
He raised his head and looked up into the sky as he said in a low voice, "I have to climb up the Godchild Peak. I don't want to wait, right now. Just because others can't climb up doesn't mean I can't! Just like you said, no one has ever escaped from the Lunar Sky Hell, including those Heaven's End and Mysterious God grade Ancient Beasts. However, didn't I come out with you?! "
Facing Ling Chen's determination, Xiao Feng Chen didn't try to convince him otherwise. He knew that there was no point in trying, otherwise he wouldn't have brought Ling Chen here. He sighed and took 2 steps forwards as he said, "I know I can't stop you. Mm, I don't want to stop you. After all, challenging the Godchild Peak is what a man should do. However, listen to my advice. When you reach a certain height, when you start to feel that you can't hold on any longer, it's better to stop earlier. Don't grit your teeth and use all your strength to climb up … Over the years, many people have reached their limits like this. When they wanted to retreat, they didn't have the strength to do so and were buried forever in the snow. Even though you're a player and aren't afraid of death, you still have to pay a price for dying. "
Ling Chen nodded with a calm look in his eyes.
"Here, this is for you." Xiao Feng Chen glared at him as he took out a few dark green items and threw them to Ling Chen.
[Azure Dragon Scale]: A scale naturally shed by the Supreme Water Azure Dragon when it matures. After use, it can release an icy aura to cover a single target, making the target immune to the loss of HP from the cold environment for three days. Can only be used once.
What Xiao Feng Chen had given him were Azure Dragon Scales! What's more, there were 10 of them!
Xiao Feng Chen calmly said, "The Godchild Peak's extreme coldness can cause people like us to lose a lot of energy. However, you players' lifeforce is simply too weak, so you won't be able to withstand it. I don't have much use for these scales, so I'll give them to you. 10 of them together can last for 30 days. In other words, after you reach a height where your body can't withstand the cold and you're forced to use the Azure Dragon Scales, you must reach the peak within 30 days. Otherwise, you won't have another chance. These are Azure Dragon Scales, Azure Dragon Scales! "
Ling Chen obviously knew what an Azure Dragon Scale was, so he didn't refuse and put it away, "Thanks."
"Ai, you should know that losing energy isn't the scariest part of the cold. The scariest part is when your body is sealed in ice, as well as your willpower that can collapse at any moment. With your mental energy, your willpower definitely won't be low. How far you can go will depend on yourself. If you can go above 9000 meters, then you won't have wasted these 10 Azure Dragon Scales. "
"If you're ready, then go." Xiao Feng Chen said as he stroked his beard. He felt a bit of anticipation in his heart … perhaps this kid really could create a miracle. Extremely strong mental power also represented a similarly strong willpower. Who knew how far this kind of willpower could go?
"Brother Xiao, you're not coming?" Ling Chen asked as he raised his head.
"Cheh, not interested. I'm going."
After throwing out those six words, Xiao Feng Chen turned around, and in the next second, disappeared from Ling Chen's sight like a gust of wind. He left just like that, and didn't even give Ling Chen a chance to say anything.
"Unrestrained and carefree," Ye Zichen said. Ling Chen, who had wanted to ask more questions, could only helplessly mutter to himself. He turned around and raised his right foot, taking the first step towards the Godchild Peak. His eyes were as calm as still water, without any signs of worry or hesitation.
What right did a LV41 player have to challenge the peak that even Mysterious God level experts couldn't reach? However, he had resolutely decided to stay, and even made an oath that he would not leave until he succeeded … This was definitely not because he was stubborn, nor was it because he was hot-blooded and reckless. Instead, he had an extremely powerful cheating device in his hands …
Spatial Orb!!
When he reached his limit, he could immediately return to a safe place. To others, they would have to start from the foot of the mountain again after leaving. However, with Spatial Orbs, he could use them to return to the highest point he had reached before! Then, he would advance step by step, and would never retreat. Just like that, if he had enough Spatial Orbs, he would have a high chance of reaching the peak.
With these conditions, he had no reason not to try his best!
The foot of the Godchild Peak wasn't steep, and there was an abundance of vegetation, birds, and insects. However, just like the foot of the mountain, there weren't any aggressive wild beasts. There were countless experts who climbed the Godchild Peak, and there were many paths that had been paved by predecessors. Ling Chen held a map, and he would relocate his position every ten minutes. Little Gray would lead the way, and they would slowly advance towards the peak.
A day passed by slowly as they climbed the mountain. When the sky turned dark, Ling Chen had already climbed 2,000 meters. Moreover, the entire process was unimpeded. He didn't even encounter any obstacles in the terrain, let alone monsters.
2,000 meters wasn't a fast speed, but it wasn't slow either. At this point, he had already climbed one-sixth of the Godchild Peak. However, Ling Chen knew that this height couldn't even be considered the starting point. This was because even the most ordinary person could reach this height with some effort.
6,000 meters was the real starting point! After that, each step would be more difficult than the last.
