Chapter 1382: The Chance in Wu Qi Tower

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Inside the silver palace next to the towering Wu Qi Tower in Godly King Valley, the four leaders sat on their thrones. They all watched the floating display screen, which showed everything happening in Wu Qi Tower.

“Haha! He easily went through the third level,” said the black mist. “In my opinion, his willpower must be at the level of a true god of void space if he went through the third level that easily. His willpower is at such a level, yet he’s only a law master. He’s indeed exceptional.”

The silver-armored female leader said, “Look at the blade technique he shows while using Golden Claw God… It’s so exquisite that it’s at least at the elementary true god level.”

“Body technique, blade technique, and willpower… He’s exceptional in all aspects. He’s definitely the strongest one I’ve seen since I became a leader.” The leader stared gravely at the screen. “I hope he can reach the top of Wu Qi Tower! If he can, then we’ll finally live up to the expectations of His Majesty the Godly King.”

The other three leaders were silent. The expectations of the Godly King…

All gazed at the screen displaying the scene of the fourth floor of Wu Qi Tower.

“The second floor is for prizes. I wonder which prize that soldier Milky Way will choose.”

******

The 15 surviving soldiers on the fourth floor of Wu Qi Tower had long expected this. According to what Wu Qi Tower had told them before, there were only deathtraps in the first three floors, which meant only the first three levels would pose a danger to their lives. From the fourth floor up, there would only be prizes. They would be safe from now on.

All the soldiers were full of expectations.

“Prizes in Wu Qi Tower?”

“What kind of prizes?”

Time and space trembled. The 15 soldiers were transported to the fourth floor, and they all looked around.

“Huh?” Luo Feng looked around, and the portals around him extended. On the walls beside the portals were many trees and bodies. It was as if there countless living and dead creatures were sealed on the walls beside the portals.

A maze? Luo Feng thought. There is a portal on my left side and one on the right!

The 15 soldiers glanced around, hesitant. None dared to do anything. Instead, they waited for the guide of Wu Qi Tower.

A light appeared, surrounding the soldiers.

“Lucky soldiers! You’re all indeed the lucky ones because you have reached the fourth level of Wu Qi Tower, and from now on, you’ll be safe. No soldiers are allowed to fight each other. Otherwise, you will be executed!”

The first line of the introduction immediately relieved all the other soldiers. They glanced at Luo Feng. They weren’t as tense or as frightened as before. Instead, they relaxed.

“There are many prizes on the fourth level of Wu Qi Floor,” said the voice. “There are four portals around you, and they represent four different prizes. The one with dimming white light is the portal of valuables. Once you enter, you can acquire valuables such as machine-type weapons and valuables used to recover your godly bodies.

“The one with dimming golden light is the light is the portal of inheritance. There are some special techniques through that portal, and if you’re lucky, you might get some extraordinary techniques. The one with dimming purple light is a path to true gods. It will guide you on how to make a breakthrough and how to become a true god. That’s the law path. The one with dim black light is also a path to true gods, but it’s following the path of godly power. You will be stronger, but it’s hundreds of time more difficult.

“You can only choose one of these four portals! The prizes you earn from those portals will decide whether or not you can enter the fifth floor. Choose, lucky soldiers.”

Then the ancient voice faded away.

Luo Feng and the others all looked around at the four portals representing different prizes.

A giant black snake strange beast with skulls crawled to the golden portal. “The techniques in Wu Qi Tower must be extraordinary. With the special techniques, I’ll be able to wield more power when fighting great beings at the same level.”

“I’ve been stuck at law masters for too long a time,” said a short tribal warrior. “I must become a true god. The godly power path is too difficult, so I might not gain anything.” He entered the purple portal.

******

The soldiers selected their portals one after another. Some thought they could get guides on how to become true gods in the army, so they chose techniques or valuables. Some wanted to become true gods as soon as possible, so they chose the path to true gods.

Though eight of the 15 soldiers chose the paths to true gods, six of them chose the law paths. All of them knew that law paths were more common and easier while the godly power path was much more difficult. They weren’t even sure whether they could succeed on the law path, so they didn’t dare to try the godly power path.

After all, it was only a guide.

******

“The godly power path?” said Luo Feng. “I’ll see what kind of special guide His Majesty the Godly King from the World of Jin has prepared.”

Luo Feng didn’t even hesitate. He chose the godly path to true gods immediately.

Valuables? He had acquired enough. Luo Feng didn’t think he could get any exceptional valuables after only three levels.

Techniques? He had plenty of powerful techniques from Duan Dong River.

The law path? He had given up on that a long time ago.

The only choice was the godly power path! It had been left by His Majesty the Godly King, so maybe he would be inspired.

******

All the four leaders gazed at the screen. Luo Feng and the other soldier stepped onto the godly power path to true gods, and they both sighed.

All the leaders exclaimed their approval.

“Well chosen.”

“The only precious portal on the fourth level is the godly power path to true gods. This is the great achievement of His Majesty the Godly King.”

“That soldier Milky Way made a wonderful choice.”

Other great beings in the army didn’t know about this, but they were the leaders of Godly King Valley, so they were responsible for guarding Wu Qi Tower. The ideal peerless talent that His Majesty the Godly King required would need to become a true god by following the godly power path.

There was, after all, another way to prove oneself to be the peerless genius of the godly king, which was to reach 90,000 times life gene level on the godly power path, and to solve all 10,081 Rhinoceros Emperor Game solutions all the once. If someone met both criteria, they would be sealed immediately and would obtain Wu Qi God! Based on these two requirements, it could be inferred that the peerless genius the Godly King required should follow the godly power path.

After all, when Wu Qi Tower was being built, only the godly power path to true gods was carefully designed by His Majesty the Godly King to help the successors.

******

Luo Feng walked through the hallway. On the walls on either side, many bodies and objects were sealed as if they were specimens on display.

“Godly power guide? Where is it?”

Luo Feng kept searching carefully. Suddenly, his eyes gleamed, and he stared at a wall to one side. He discovered that those seemingly simple bodies and objects could be combined into an intricate engraving picture! Plus, some of the specimens bulged from the wall while some others were concave. They formed a three-dimensional image!

The three-dimensional image inspired Luo Feng! Perhaps it wasn’t clear to other great beings, but it was to Luo Feng. He had studied the structures of creatures using his Remote Ocean many times, and his godly body had already broken through the perfect life gene level.

“This… This is the most detailed structure of a perfect life form!” Luo Feng said.

He immediately memorized the structure. If someone couldn’t understand the structure, then no matter how many times they looked at it, they wouldn’t be able to memorize it. However, Luo Feng had already achieved a degree of life structure, and his studies were already superior to that “stereoscopic” picture.

“On the left!”

Luo Feng looked to the other side,. When all those specimens were combined, they could indeed form a three-dimensional image of a perfect life form.

“The one on the right is a flesh-and-blood type life form, and the one on the left is a plant type life.”

Luo Feng memorized them all and walked forward. On the two walls as he continued forward were countless specimens making up three-dimensional pictures, and they were all perfect life forms! However, even though they were perfect life forms, there were some differences among them. Even the perfect gene structures of flesh-and-blood creatures had hundreds of variations.

“Incredible. It’s so detailed.”

Luo Feng was amazed. He and kept walking forward.

After only a short while, he reached the end of the portal. There was a door at the end with an incomplete three-dimensional image on it.

“Huh?” Luo Feng smiled. “Flesh and blood type?”

Luo Feng pointed and injected his godly power inside. He quickly completed the three-dimensional image, forming a perfect image of a creature. He had studied countless perfect creatures. If it had been an energy-type life form, it might have taken him a long time. However, he was very familiar with flesh-and-blood type creatures, so he completed it instantly!

Hong! Long!

The wooden door gave out cyan light immediately, covering Luo Feng.

Sou!

Luo Feng disappeared.

******

“He’s entered it.”

“It’s only been a while, and he’s completed the task already.”

“His godly body must’ve surpassed the perfect life gene level already,” said the towering leader. “Besides, he’s following the godly power path. That soldier Milky Way is very ambitious. He doesn’t just want to become a true god. Instead, he wants to achieve a higher life gene level!” He bellowed out his words. action

All the other leaders were similarly thrilled. “Let’s see how much he can get.”

Even the leaders were not eligible to see the deeper area of godly path to true gods. Wu Qi Tower contained some great secrets. The four leaders could inspect it, yet they could only inspect a part of it. As for some special areas, like the eighth or ninth floor, they couldn’t even take a peek.

They couldn’t inspect the deeper area of the godly power path either. It contained a huge secret!

It was strenuous to become a true god, and the analysis of life forms was strictly confidential! Luo Feng had the inherited technique from the original universe, “Creation.” They couldn’t clearly inspect certain powerful life forms, and they surely couldn’t detect the drop of godly blood on Shi Wu Wing.

True gods, true gods of void space, and even eternal true gods weren’t able to analyze the structures of creatures. The comprehensive three-dimensional images were precious beyond words.

Of course, they required understanding before they could be memorized. If someone couldn’t understand the pictures, he wouldn’t be able to remember anything. Those pictures of creatures were only an aid. However, no powers from the ancient civilization were willing to share them—not even Duan Dong River.
