Chapter 1045 - 119-120: God Realm Sixth Layer, Cave Heaven Sixth Layer (Two-in-One)

Therefore.

Shen Changqing was somewhat impatient.

Even though he had some Flesh-Forging Elixirs in his storage ring, he didn’t have the inclination to continue consuming them to open up secrets.

In the end.

Breaking through into a new realm, opening up some secrets without reaching a critical point, wouldn’t drastically change one’s power.

To put it bluntly.

With seventy-two thousand secrets and the fifth level of Cave Heaven perfected, opening one more secret at this time would let him enter the sixth level of Cave Heaven, allowing for a significant transformation if the flesh meets the transformation opportunity.

However, if he opens seventy-two thousand and one or seventy-two thousand and two secrets without meeting the transformation opportunity, there wouldn’t be much change.

The remaining elixirs at most can open up a few secrets, but cannot reach the level needed for transformation.

Even the Palm Path Insight he obtained was set aside for the time being, as he had no time to ponder it.

Rather than wasting time, he might as well use this time to challenge the Ascension Tower again.

With a wave.

The forbidden technique was lifted.

Shen Changqing stepped forward, heading towards the direction of the Ascension Tower.

He wasn’t afraid of getting lost.

The Ascension Tower connects heaven and earth, as long as one enters the Heavenly Domain, one can see it by looking up, and there’s no such thing as getting lost.

In less than a moment.

Shen Changqing arrived at the front of the Ascension Tower.

At this moment.

Around the tower, there were no other cultivators present.

Seeing this, he wasn’t surprised.

Cultivators entering the Heavenly Domain are either challenging the Ascension Tower, searching for opportunities in various parts of the Heavenly Domain, or finding a safe place to cultivate; none would foolishly stay here.

At most, initially, some cultivators might stop by out of curiosity.

But after a month or two, no matter how mysterious the Ascension Tower is, they would have grown tired of it.

Thus.

There’s no need to remain here.

Meanwhile.

The Ascension Tower updated with new information.

It’s the ranking update of the list.

"It turns out the ranking updates only happen within the Ascension Tower’s vicinity—"

Shen Changqing was somewhat speechless.

He was curious why, after so long, the rankings of the Ascension Tower seemed unchanged; was there some issue?

Turns out he had strayed too far away.

Shaking his head.

Shen Changqing calmed his heart, fully reading the ranking information.

The first place was still Zhongshan Kongzhou.

What surprised him was that the opponent hadn’t yet entered the Divine Forge Platform but was at the ninety-eighth layer of the Ascension Tower.

Following him.

Zhongshan Lv was closely behind, also at the ninety-eighth layer.

The rankings of Zhongshan Hai and Zhongshan Peng hadn’t changed much either.

The only change.

Was his ranking, which dropped from twenty-first to thirty-sixth.

A moment later.

Shen Changqing felt relieved: "Thankfully, it’s only thirty-sixth place. Looking at the rankings now, it seems no one has successfully ascended to the Divine Forge Platform yet."

"But... given Zhongshan Kongzhou’s strength, it’s rather unbelievable that he hasn’t ascended to the Divine Forge Platform!"

His heart felt heavy.

Even though his strength had broken through, whether he could be stronger than Zhongshan Kongzhou remained unknown.

Even someone as strong as Zhongshan Kongzhou was stopped at the ninety-ninth layer of the Ascension Tower, unable to break through it completely, which was telling enough.

Unable to figure it out.

He simply chose to stop thinking about it.

Shen Changqing took a deep breath, focusing his Divine Sense on the "Heaven" symbol on his hand, and as golden light poured down, he disappeared from the original spot.

The scene shifted.

Upon regaining his senses, he found himself in the void inside the Ascension Tower.

The void trembled.

Two Tower Guardians at the tenth layer of God Realm appeared.

Upon seeing the challenger, they immediately took action.

Their fists broke through the sky.

The void surged like a vast ocean, raising enormous waves.

Seeing the force about to engulf him, Shen Changqing’s expression turned stern, and he pressed forward with a palm.

The Star River descended in the void, like a silver river pouring down from the heavens.

In the gray void, countless stars were densely scattered.
