I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 692 The Heavenly Road Opens, Storms Rise
The 40th year of the Extraordinary Era.

12 month 31 day.

Moon and Stars, the entrance platform of the Myriad Heavenly Road.

A massive semi-circular platform stands on the lunar surface, constructed entirely of silvery-white metal, gleaming with a cold luster.

At the edge of the platform, there is a deep, boundless starry sky and a familiar blue planet in the distance.

now.

The platform was bustling with people, with more than 3,600 qualified extraordinary individuals gathered there.

"So many powerful individuals!"

Ji Hao blended into the crowd, completely inconspicuous.

He carefully sensed the surrounding aura. Powerful pressure was everywhere, and there were many experts at the mid, late, and even peak stages of the Transcendent Realm, which made him, a second-stage Transcendent Realm cultivator, feel unprecedented pressure.

He could be considered a top genius in the Heavenly Gang Alliance and even in the former Lingxiao Academy.

But anyone you randomly pick from here would be just as good as him.

He also heard that some people had already reached the mid-stage of Dark Force at the second level of Transcendent Realm, and had even integrated their artistic conception into their martial arts.

This kind of person can be considered a true top genius.

Someone like him, at the early stage of the second level of Transcendent Realm, is only considered to be at the bottom here.

"Big brother is right. We have to be careful once we enter the Heavenly Road."

"Otherwise, with my strength, even if I survive, I will lose the opportunity to participate in the trial."

Ji Hao silently finished the sentence in his mind, his palms slightly sweaty from clenching his fists.

He forced himself to relax, his gaze cautiously sweeping over the surrounding crowd.

After all, once you enter the Heavenly Road, everyone will be a potential opponent.

at the same time.

Above the platform.

More than twenty experts at the Unity Realm were looking down at the densely packed crowd below.

Wow, there are so many people!

Kolster couldn't help but sigh.

"I wonder how many people will be able to enter the core area."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint voice came from the side.

"Heh, instead of worrying about them, you should think more about yourself."

"You don't want to go in for six years and then come out, do you? Or rather, you don't want to even be able to stay for six years."

Upon hearing this, Kolster's face immediately darkened.

"Anthony, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"

damn thing.

Wasn't it just that they lost to Aurora Academy in the Extraordinary Academy Exchange Competition three years ago?
It's been years, and they're still pretending.

However, what Anthony said is not impossible.

Although the core area has a three-year protection period, meaning that no matter what the points are in the first three years, you will not be eliminated.

On the one hand, there are no monsters in the core area, and there is no way to fight. The only way to gain contribution points is to improve one's cultivation level and realm.

And special tasks that are released from time to time.

Therefore, obtaining contribution points is not an easy task.

Therefore, a three-year protection period was granted.

However, this protection period only applies to points-based protection and does not mean that you can continue to protect yourself indefinitely.

After all, the core area is extremely dangerous, and if you are not strong enough, you simply cannot stay there for long.

Especially for those extraordinary individuals who have just broken through to the Unity Realm, even the weakest area covered by their intent is enough to pose a threat to them.

To remain within it indefinitely, one must possess sufficient strength and willpower to withstand the omnipresent pressure of the laws.

The closer one gets to the core area, the higher the level of laws and martial arts one can comprehend, but the corresponding pressure will also increase exponentially.

Those powerful regions are places that even Nangong Hong cannot set foot in.

Therefore, if one's skills cannot improve, they will be eliminated in less than six years.

Of course, you can also enter the safe zone to rest.

However, unlike the outer and inner ring areas, those in the core area need to use points to redeem entry qualifications.

The price is 500 points per day.

"Hehe, I'm just kindly reminding you."

"If you can't hold on, give up early to avoid getting hurt!"

Just as the two were at loggerheads.

On the platform below.

Xie Xuan slowly appeared before everyone.

He glanced at everyone present and said softly:
"Today, the Vientiane Sky Road officially opens."

"I'm sure you all already know the rules, so I won't go into too much detail. I'll just emphasize three points: First, the Heavenly Road Token is not only proof of identity, but also a life-saving device and a recorder; please keep it safe. Second, violence is strictly prohibited within the safe zone; violators will be killed without exception! Third, private fights are prohibited in the core area; violators will be disqualified and severely punished!"

"Now I will introduce you to the specific details of the Vientiane Skyway."

At this point, Xie Xuan gestured to the staff around him.

Immediately afterwards, a huge screen behind them suddenly lit up.

A three-dimensional structural diagram of the Vientiane Skyway appears on the screen, clearly showing the three ring-shaped areas: the outer area, the inner ring area, and the core area.

Each area is marked with a different color, and the energy concentration increases clearly from the outside to the inside.

"What you are seeing now is a map of the Myriad Heavenly Road."

"The outer area covers the largest area, reaching 60,000 square kilometers."

"Secondly, there is the inner ring area, which covers an area of ​​30,000 square kilometers."

"Finally, there is the core area, which covers an area of ​​10,000 square kilometers."

"In addition, the source energy concentration in the outer and inner ring areas is not high. Although you can cultivate there, the effect of cultivating solely with the source energy in the Heavenly Road is definitely not as good as that of source crystals. You can experience it for yourselves after you enter."

The outer area covers 60,000 square kilometers?

So big?
It should be noted that only about three thousand people entered the outer area.

In this vast area of ​​60,000 square kilometers, there is only one trial participant on average for every 20 square kilometers.

Meeting other people is not an easy thing either.

"In other words, as long as we are careful, we can actually avoid other trial participants and focus on hunting monsters and cultivating."

Of course, that's one thing.

However, the chances of a person at the Innate Realm or the first or second stage of Transcendent Realm encountering a top-tier Grandmaster are very low.

These two groups of people will not be in the same area at all; top masters will definitely go to the area closer to the inner ring.

After all, the closer you get to the outer edge, the worse the cultivation effect.

Moreover, there were no powerful monsters among them.

In this situation, staying on the periphery would not be of any benefit to them.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some top masters occasionally return to the outer areas to hunt down weaker superhumans.

However, the cost-effectiveness is relatively low.

Putting aside how difficult it would be to find the target in such a large area, even if you did find it, you might not be able to kill it.

If you can't kill him, then you've formed a blood feud.

From then on, it was almost a fight to the death.

Even if you manage to kill them, the enemy may not be carrying many resources.

In the end, it is very likely that all the work will be for nothing.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, those Grandmasters at the fifth or sixth level of the Transcendent Realm would not do such a thankless task.

Just then, Xie Xuan's voice continued:

"In addition, the different colored areas you see on the map are the corresponding training locations."

"The East is the region for comprehending the essence of laws, while the West is the region for martial arts."

"For example, if you want to experience the essence of wind, go to the 'Wind Howling Valley' marked in blue on the map; if you want to experience the essence of fire, go to the 'Lava Zone' marked in red."

As he explained, the corresponding areas on the map began to flash with corresponding lights, making them clearly identifiable to everyone.

"The western martial arts region is dotted with various traces of martial arts. 'Sword Scar Canyon' contains the essence of swordsmanship, 'Fist Qi Plain' retains the true meaning of fist techniques, and 'Blade Soul Ridge' is the training ground for swordsmen." "The entire Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Road has more than a hundred different areas, and the requirements for strength will gradually increase from the outside to the inside."

"These are the training locations closest to the core area, and they are only suitable for extraordinary individuals at the peak of Dark Force to comprehend."

"As for the core area, there is no longer any distinction. Within it, one can comprehend all the paths of cultivation."

"But correspondingly, the danger has also increased significantly."

"Alright, I won't go into too much detail about the core area. Once you're qualified to go there, someone will explain it to you."

"As for the specific locations and information of these secret realms, you can check them yourself after you receive the Heavenly Road Certificate. The Heavenly Road Certificate contains extremely detailed information."

"Finally, there are the arrangements for entering the Heavenly Road."

"The Vientiane Skyway has a total of twenty entrances, ten in the eastern area and ten in the western area."

"The ten entrances correspond to the nine stages from the Innate Realm to the Mortal Transformation Realm."

"When you enter the secret realm later, you can choose to enter from any different area."

"If you want to cultivate martial arts, then enter the western region; if you want to cultivate the essence of laws, then enter from the eastern region."

Xie Xuan quickly finished explaining the specifics of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Path.

The rules for entry have caught the attention of many people.

Entering regions based on strength means he won't encounter top-tier experts from the start, greatly increasing his safety in the early stages.

Does anyone have any further questions?

As soon as the words were spoken, someone immediately asked:
"Minister Xie, if I want to exchange points for resources, will I only find out after I arrive at the safe zone?"

"No need. Once you obtain the Heavenly Road Certificate, you will naturally be able to check it."

Shaking his head, Xie Xuan continued:
"The Skyway Certificate contains not only your personal information, but also all the basic data from Skyway."

Xie Xuan's words relieved everyone present.

Being able to know the exchangeable resources and specific information in advance will undoubtedly help them better plan their actions on the Sky Road.

"We will now begin issuing Sky Road permits."

At Xie Xuan's command, the staff began to distribute black and gold electronic tokens in an orderly manner.

The token is similar to a mobile phone, but the material is very different.

Or rather, it's very heavy.

A Heavenly Road Certificate weighs several kilograms, which would be difficult for an ordinary person to carry.

But for the superhumans present, this weight was nothing.

"What a grand gesture! The Heavenly Road Certificate even incorporates extraordinary materials."

Those with discerning taste couldn't help but exclaim in quiet amazement.

"This is a certificate made with extraordinary materials and incorporating a special shape memory alloy."

Xie Xuan's voice rang out at the right time, answering everyone's questions.

"Even a full-force attack from a Unity Realm expert cannot cause it any damage, so you don't need to worry about it being damaged."

These words left everyone speechless.

It can be said.

This Heavenly Road Certificate alone is extremely valuable, even comparable to the price of a refined artifact!

"After activating the Sky Road Certificate, you can view the information first."

As the top-ranked individual in the comprehensive evaluation of the Innate Realm, Qi Hui was naturally the first to obtain the Heavenly Road Certificate.

He took the token that belonged to him; it felt slightly heavy and cool to the touch.

After activating as instructed, the basic information will be displayed above:

Name: Qi Hui

[Cultivation Level: Peak of the Innate Realm]

[Martial arts realm: early stage of dark strength]

[Law of Intent: Fire Intent - Stage 1]

Current status: Not entered

【Points: 0】

[Ranking: Not listed]

In addition to the basic information, the screen also displays several prominent options:

[Map Information]

[Points Redemption]

[Leaderboard]

【Task List】

Qi Hui couldn't wait to open the [Points Exchange] section, and was immediately stunned by the dazzling array of items.

From source crystals to extraordinary potions, extraordinary weapons, extraordinary martial arts, and even the cultivation insights of senior experts, it can be said that everything is available.

"It's actually possible to exchange for level five or even level six origin potions, as well as cultivation insights from a Martial Grandmaster."

Previously, only students of the Origin Academy or top experts of high status could exchange for these items.

Even as a student of Lingxiao Academy, he was not qualified at all.

But now, you can redeem anything as long as you have points.

It's just that the price is higher than using contribution points.

A level 5 potion costs 50 contribution points outside, but here it costs 100 points.

The price of a level 6 potion is 500 contribution points, which here is converted to 1000 points.

Not only are level 5 and 6 potions more expensive than outside, but other top-tier resources are also more expensive.

However, considering how precious these resources are, it is reasonable for the price to be a bit higher.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Hui opened the list of extraordinary weapons.

[Tier 2 Refined Battle Blade, 20% HP Boost, 800 points]

[Second-tier refined spear, 30% increase in health and mana, 1300 points]

[Tier 3 Qi and Blood Treasure, Crimson Flame Lion Blade. Qi and Blood Amplification Effect: 75%. Inscribed with a matrix of fire-inspired energy. 5000 points]

"Wow, there really are Tier 3 treasures available for exchange!"

In the distance, many people exclaimed in surprise.

Although some people on the internet had previously speculated that it was possible to exchange for a Tier 3 treasure, many people were skeptical.

After all, it's said that even Grandmasters aren't qualified to buy third-tier treasures.

I never expected that you could actually redeem points at the Wuxiang Tianlu (万象天路).

If this could be exchanged for a third-tier magical artifact, the boost to one's strength would be terrifying.

However, the price is indeed a bit expensive.

The lowest-tier Tier 3 Qi and Blood Treasures cost 5000 points, while the highest-tier ones even reach 20,000.

As for energy-generating artifacts, the starting price is 20,000.

It's an exaggeration.

Just as everyone was studying it carefully, Xie Xuan's voice rang out again:

"Alright, the Sky Road certificates have all been issued."

"Now everyone selects the corresponding entrance on their credentials, and three hours later, someone will take you to the corresponding entrance."

As soon as he finished speaking, the interface of the Heavenly Road Certificate was updated immediately, displaying twenty entry options.

But each person can only choose two.

The platform fell silent as everyone focused on making their final choices and preparations.

Qi Hui chose the [Western Region - Innate Realm] entrance without hesitation.

After selection, the voucher will be displayed immediately:

[Entrance selection confirmed: Western Region - Primordial Realm]

Departure time: 3 hours later

[Readiness Status: Standby]

Meanwhile, above the platform.

Li Qingxuan looked at everyone and said with a smile:
"Let's set off, everyone. We'll head to the core area first."
