The Advantage Given by Heaven
While Lei Hong and Fang Yi Fan were making their way to the Outer Boundary to look for Meng Han, the other supreme powerhouses, who were originally waiting to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda, rushed to the entrances of the pagoda. All of them wanted to see if they could successfully pass the tests and obtain the Heaven Protection Talisman.
Up until now, those who failed only suffered injuries, and no one had died. Moreover, one could still enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda to try again even after one failed. Only those who already obtained the Heaven Protection Talisman were prohibited from entering the pagoda again.
“A level-six supreme powerhouse overcame the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation!”
“If I didn’t know that the Heaven Protection Talisman was not transferable, I’d think that someone gave the talisman to Meng Han…”
“Come on! Let’s try our best to obtain the talisman and overcome the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation. Let’s strive to be the fourth level-seven supreme powerhouse after the historical gap!”
Many of the World supreme powerhouses in the Myriad Worlds no longer hesitated to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. All of them could not wait to see how difficult it would be to obtain the Heaven Protection Talisman. Even those who had already failed once, not counting those who were injured and had yet to recover, could not wait to enter the pagoda again.
Among those who failed, quite a few of them were on par with Lei Hong and Fang Yi Fan. Their failure did not mean that they were inferior to the duo. They failed mostly because they were unlucky or careless during certain tests. They were 80% confident that they would be able to obtain the Heaven Protection Talisman the second time they entered the Heaven Traversing Pagoda.
…
Needless to say, there was a commotion in the Outer Boundary as well after the appearance of the heavenly text.
Many Saints who were originally hesitant also rushed to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda.
In the Azure Cloud Saint Sect.
“Old Meng has successfully overcome the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation and broke through in such a short time?”
Zhao An Yi was shocked when he saw the heavenly text. When he recovered his senses, he sent a congratulatory message to Meng Han despite the mixed feelings in his heart.
“Congratulations, Old Meng!”
A month ago, Zhao An Yi had met Meng Han and watched Meng Han enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. Meng Han was the first person to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda and challenge the tests in there.
After that, Zhao An Yi did not know what happened to Meng Han. He did not expect Meng Han not only successfully obtained the Heaven Protection Talisman, but Meng Han also quietly faced the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation and became a level-seven supreme powerhouse in just slightly over a month. To him, Meng Han’s speed was incredibly shocking.
It did not take long before Zhao An Yi received a reply from Meng Han.
“Little Zhao, you should’ve followed me into the Heaven Traversing Pagoda a month ago.”
Previously, Meng Han had run into Zhao An Yi before entering the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. At that time, he learned that Zhao An Yi did not plan to enter the pagoda immediately.
Meng Han, who had successfully obtained the Heaven Protection Talisman, was naturally knowledgeable about the situation inside the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. Moreover, he was now with Lei Hong and Fang Yi Fan who had entered the pagoda after him. As such, he managed to learn a thing or two from their experience as well.
“What do you mean, Old Meng?”
Meanwhile, Zhao An Yi’s heart skipped a beat when he heard Meng Han’s words. He could sense there was something hidden in Meng Han’s words. Based on Meng Han’s words, it seemed like he had missed out on something.
“The Sun Bright World’s Lei Hong and the Transcendence World’s Fang Yi Fan are visiting me at the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion now. I learned that because Fang Yi Fan was the second person to enter the pagoda, heaven acknowledged his courage and determination so the difficulty of the tests was reduced by 20%. This naturally contributed greatly to his success in obtaining the Heaven Protection Talisman. He told me that he entered the pagoda more than a day after I entered. If you’d gone in after me, it wouldn’t be difficult for you to pass the tests and obtain the Heaven Protection Talisman after the difficulty was reduced by 20%.”
Zhao An Yi’s expression was quite unsightly when he heard these words. He did not expect such an absurd turn of events. Since when was heaven so considerate?
Soon enough, Meng Han’s message came again.
“Lei Hong from the Sun Bright World entered the pagoda an hour after Fang Yi Fan. As the third person to enter the pagoda, the difficulty of the tests was reduced by 10%, helping him to obtain the Heaven Protection Talisman.”
At this moment, Zhao An Yi could not help but wonder about Meng Han, the first person to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda. He asked in a slightly trembling voice, “Old Meng, you were the first to enter the pagoda… Heaven must have reduced the difficulty of the tests by a lot for you, right? The difficulty of the tests was reduced by 20% and 10% for the second and third person who entered the pagoda respectively… Was the difficulty reduced by 30% for you?”
Zhao An Yi was filled with regrets. If he could turn back time, he would enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda to seize such an advantage.
“That’s right,” Meng Han replied, confirming Zhao An Yi’s speculation, “However, apart from the 30% reduction, after I successfully passed the tests and was rewarded with three talismans as promised, I was further rewarded with another talisman.”
Zhao An Yi felt as though his heart was bleeding when he heard these words. He regretted not entering the Heaven Traversing Pagoda ahead of Meng Han. Otherwise, he would have obtained the things Meng Han did.
“I have to say that the reason I was able to survive the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation was the fourth talisman. Three really weren’t enough. I was only about 10% confident I could survive the tribulation with three talismans. The fourth really changed things for me. Not only did it save my life, but it also helped me become the third level-seven supreme powerhouse after the historical gap.”
Meng Han’s words were nothing short of rubbing salt in Zhao An Yi’s wounds. He quickly ended the conversation by replying, “Old Meng, I have some matters to attend to. I’ll speak to you another time.”
After that, the regretful Zhao An Yi went to a secluded place to vent his frustration, destroying everything in his sight.
…
Meanwhile, Lei Hong and Fang Yi Fan bade farewell to Meng Han and left the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion before returning to the Sun Bright World and the Transcendence World respectively. Their expressions were rather unsightly. After all, they did not expect Meng Han to be rewarded with a fourth Heaven Protection Talisman.
