Chapter 1111: Sky-reaching Black Pillar Peak
Chapter 1111: Chapter 1111: Sky-reaching Black Pillar Peak
Can command all the sects of Taicang State.
If the Great Wine Sacrifice did not have overwhelming strength, how would the sects obey?
All eyes were on them.
In the darkness, starlight emerged.
They fell like meteors, accurately flying to the Nascent Soul Experts tasked with reconnaissance.
Jiang Fan grabbed the one that flew in front of him.
He found a glowing, space-powered imprint.
Looking at everyone else, they had the same thing.
"This is a Space Imprint, refine it into your mind."
"No matter how far you walk from the Sky-reaching Black Pillar, one thought will bring you back to its vicinity."
A faint voice echoed in the dark.
Everyone suddenly understood.
This was a life-saving item!
If any task executor encounters danger, they can use the imprint to return to the Sky-reaching Black Pillar on time.
No wonder, knowing the dangers above, the Qintian Bureau still sent a large force to investigate.
Turns out there was a huge guarantee.
The participating Nascent Soul Experts now felt reassured.
"Additionally, it will accurately record your actions on the Sky-reaching Black Pillar."
"Recording the merits you achieve."
"Rewards are the same as before, the top three receive generous rewards."
"Even if you don’t rank in the top three, you can still obtain three bottles of Mixed Element Nine-Colored Marrow."
"Do any of you have questions?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Faced with a Venerate, most lacked the courage to speak.
But Jiang Fan, holding his imprint, thoughtfully said:
"Junior has two questions."
"First, if after we go up, the Sky-reaching Black Pillar moves, will the Space Imprint still work?"
This question made many task executors’ hearts skip a beat.
Almost forgot, the Sky-reaching Black Pillar isn’t immobile!
The one before them had drifted across the continent to the White Horse Temple.
If they went up and the Sky-reaching Black Pillar moved, they’d teleport back, where would they find it?
"No worries, it’s fixed on the Sky-reaching Black Pillar."
"No matter where it moves, the imprint will guide you back to it."
Thankfully, the Great Wine Sacrifice gave an answer that eased everyone’s concerns.
Yet, Jiang Fan posed another question.
"Second, can this imprint guarantee escape from danger 100%?"
The Great Wine Sacrifice was silent for several breaths.
Seemingly unwilling to answer, eventually whispered:
"Against a Giant King, you can escape."
"Provided you don’t encounter the Wind Giant King or Space Giant King."
"The former, speed matching Spatial Teleportation."
"The latter, capable of locking down Spatial Teleportation."
The room was silent.
Just settled hearts grew anxious again.
Jiang Fan’s face fell.
He feared this.
Space escape isn’t almighty, as when Wu Manyue was pursued by the Hell Two-headed Dog on the Tenth Layer.
She used a space scroll, disrupted by the Hell Two-headed Dog’s divine skills.
There are various Giant Kings; who can guarantee none counters Space Divine Power?
The answer was unsurprising.
The Great Wine Sacrifice then said: "Don’t worry too much."
"Giant Kings are rare in existence."
"Wind Giant Kings and Space Giant Kings are even rarer."
"Last time deep into the territory, Three Gods and One Bodhisattva didn’t encounter any."
"Your chances of meeting them are near zero."
Upon hearing this.
Everyone’s tension eased a bit.
"Any other questions?" The Great Wine Sacrifice asked again.
Jiang Fan thought he should inquire about the reward details.
He began: "I’d like to..."
He suddenly couldn’t speak, his mouth sealed by an invisible force.
The Great Wine Sacrifice’s annoyed voice echoed:
"Your questions are too many!"
"Are you letting everyone proceed peacefully?"
Then, a loud voice spread around.
"Since there’s no objection."
"Let’s set off!"
Jiang Fan’s forehead pulsed.
This Great Wine Sacrifice!
A little dog-like!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Several teams, already assembled, flew by cloud along the Sky-reaching Black Pillar toward the boundless Qingming.
Jiang Fan looked at Bai Xin, Song Lingyu, and Dharma Seal Vajra, saying: "Shall we set off too?"
Just then.
Gu Xin’er jumped over, saying: "What about me, what about me?"
"Can you take me along?"
Jiang Fan glanced at her, disdainful: "What’s a Three Apertures Nascent Soul weakling doing coming along?"
Gu Xin’er gave a small roll of eyes.
Handed him a sheet of white paper, tossing it: "Take back your words!"
Jiang Fan took it, unfolded it, and couldn’t resist smiling from ear to ear.
It was a fresh Jade Paper Heavenly Book print.
Allowing him to enhance his Soul Power further.
"Fine, come be cannon fodder."
Gu Xin’er waved a little fist: "You dare!"
Jiang Fan chuckled.
He looked up at the Sky-reaching Black Pillar, saying: "Let’s go."
He leapt and followed the Sky-reaching Black Pillar.
Song Lingyu, Dharma Seal Vajra, and Gu Xin’er followed closely behind.
Everyone was curious.
What kind of place lay atop the Sky-reaching Black Pillar!
Why could it give rise to the Ancient Giant, such fierce beings!
With curiosity.
They ascended upwards, toward the depths of the endless Qingming.
The higher they rose, the stronger the wind became.
Flying for three consecutive days.
They had left Taicang State far behind, reaching the endless sky.
Below, Taicang State was as tiny as a pebble!
What astonished Jiang Fan was this place’s tremendous wind.
All around it was dark.
Filled with substantial hurricanes!
The roaring it caused made eardrums painfully vibrate.
The tearing force within the wind would pulverize anything below Nascent Soul Early Stage!
Gu Xin’er shrank her neck in fright.
Rushed by Jiang Fan’s side, her small hand clutching his sleeve, her face pale:
"Is the sky always this dangerous?"
"No wonder no one visits."
Jiang Fan’s face was also solemn, he didn’t expect Qingming to be this perilous!
"Don’t be afraid, just stay within the Sky-reaching Black Pillar’s range."
The storm was fierce.
Strangely, as the storm touched the Sky-reaching Black Pillar’s one-zhang range, it all diverted.
Only then was everyone safe.
Jiang Fan pondered: "The storm in the sky may protect the Central Earth World from external intrusion."
"And the Sky-reaching Black Pillar opens a safe path for external beings’ invasion."
This explanation.
Everyone understood.
This also explained why the Ancient Giant had to follow the Sky-reaching Black Pillar.
Instead of landing anywhere randomly.
Deep in the sky, there’s a terrifying storm even the giants fear.
Jiang Fan said: "Currently the Sky-reaching Black Pillar only protects one zhang’s range safely."
"With the size of the Ancient Giants, they still cannot descend safely."
"If the Sky-reaching Black Pillar expanded its protection, allowing a safe passage for Ancient Giants."
"Then the day of their descent would come."
Everyone realized again.
No wonder the Ancient Giants awaited a certain period before descending.
As they ascended.
Jiang Fan’s speculation was confirmed.
The storm’s power continued to intensify.
Until, on the fifth day.
They saw the Wind Origin!
Even capable of killing Divinity Transformation Venerables!
Even Giant Kings dared not easily pass through.
Fortunate ones might become like True Word Venerable, turning into fireballs, breaking Divine Rings, falling cultivation.
Unfortunate ones would be erased by the Wind Origin.
Finally.
They reached the end of the Sky-reaching Black Pillar!
A bright light appeared overhead.
They seemed like they were in a black well, seeing a circle of bright light.
Fixed their eyes ahead.
It was a sky.
Nine suns, neatly lined over the heavenly dome.
And this, was the origin land of the Ancient Giants!
Southern Heavenly Realm!
