Chapter 1415 - 412: The Century Deadline Approaches, Lu Changsheng Enters the Heavenly Court!
Chapter 1415 - 412: The Century Deadline Approaches, Lu Changsheng Enters the Heavenly Court!
It’s quite normal for the people of the Heavenly Court to know him, since he is going to the Outer Heaven Battlefield, the Heavenly Court will definitely have appropriate arrangements.
"Please follow me, Taoist Monarch Changsheng."
This True Immortal led Lu Changsheng to a Cave Mansion.
"Taoist Monarch Changsheng, inside the Cave Mansion is an introduction to the common knowledge about the Outer Heaven Battlefield."
"You can decide after reading it."
"If there is anything you don’t understand, you can ask me anytime. I am Xuan Jiu, the True Immortal specifically responsible for receiving Taoist Monarch Changsheng."
Lu Changsheng nodded.
The Cave Mansion wasn’t luxurious, but it was clean and tidy.
Lu Changsheng saw blocks of Jade Scrolls inside the Cave Mansion.
They should contain information about the Outer Heaven Battlefield.
Thus, Lu Changsheng used his consciousness to inspect them.
The Jade Scrolls introduced some basic aspects of the Outer Heaven Battlefield.
It turned out that the Outer Heaven Battlefield implements a wartime system.
All immortals must follow orders, resembling mundane soldiers.
Immortal Monarchs are just basic combat units.
Many times, it is Immortal Monarchs who fall in the Outer Heaven Battlefield.
Seeing this, a heaviness settled in Lu Changsheng’s heart.
Heavenly Immortals have become essentially basic combat units, showing how dire the situation of the Outer Heaven Battlefield is.
Ordinary Heavenly Immortals must join huge Immortal Clan legions and might even become cannon fodder.
The Immortal Body of Immortal Monarchs doesn’t have much effect in the Outer Heaven Battlefield.
The Yu clan and some powerful beings under their command have means to destroy the Immortal Flesh Body of Immortal Monarchs.
Nevertheless, for Immortal Monarchs newly entering the Outer Heaven Battlefield, the Heavenly Court provides one opportunity.
An opportunity not to become cannon fodder.
That is to ascend the Celestial Ladder.
The Celestial Ladder is a place purely for testing the combat strength of Immortal Monarchs.
There are a total of ten levels of ladders.
As long as one can climb to a sufficient height, Immortal Techniques will be granted before entering the Outer Heaven Battlefield.
Immortal Techniques can be exchanged for various Treasures, Cultivation Techniques, etc.
Moreover, the higher one climbs the Celestial Ladder, the more attention one will receive.
At that time, upon entering the Outer Heaven Battlefield, one will be valued and not become cannon fodder.
This is the only opportunity.
Otherwise, even if you manage to ascend to a great height on the Celestial Ladder later in the Outer Heaven Battlefield, you will have to rely on Immortal Techniques to acquire resources.
Immortal Techniques must be earned by fighting against and killing the foreign races in battle.
"Immortal Techniques..."
Lu Changsheng realized that the core aspect of the entire Outer Heaven Battlefield is Immortal Techniques.
Nothing else is important, only Immortal Techniques matter.
As long as one has enough Immortal Techniques, they can exchange for anything!
Don’t mind that he fought fiercely in the Boundary Sea and obtained an Immortal Treasure at the Golden Immortal Level.
But in the Outer Heaven Battlefield, as long as Immortal Techniques are enough, what can be exchanged is not limited to Immortal Treasures at the Golden Immortal Level?
Far superior Immortal Treasures compared to Void Pearls can be exchanged.
So, going to challenge the Celestial Ladder before heading to the Outer Heaven Battlefield to acquire Immortal Techniques might be one of the easiest ways to obtain Immortal Techniques.
Every Immortal Monarch has just one chance like this.
If missed, then it’s gone, and one must fight desperately in the Outer Heaven Battlefield.
After almost finishing the Jade Scroll, Lu Changsheng already had a decision in his mind.
He needed Immortal Techniques to exchange for Cultivation Techniques at the Heavenly Immortal Level.
So now, it was most suitable to challenge the Celestial Ladder.
Thus, Lu Changsheng got up and left the Cave Mansion.
He saw the True Immortal Xuan Jiu outside the Cave Mansion.
"True Immortal Xuan Jiu, I want to challenge the Celestial Ladder, please lead the way, True Immortal Xuan Jiu."
Lu Changsheng clearly stated his purpose.
True Immortal Xuan Jiu nodded and said, "Please follow me, Immortal Monarch Changsheng."
True Immortal Xuan Jiu wasn’t surprised that Lu Changsheng wanted to challenge the Celestial Ladder.
This is very normal.
Almost every Immortal Monarch does so.
After all, this is considered the "welfare" given by the Heavenly Court to every Immortal Monarch.
As for how much Immortal Techniques can be gained, it depends on one’s ability.
True Immortal Xuan Jiu led Lu Changsheng all the way to the Celestial Ladder.
The so-called Celestial Ladder is actually a series of gigantic platforms.
These platforms form a tiered ladder.
From bottom to top, there are ten levels of ladders, hence it’s called the Celestial Ladder.
"There are no Immortal Techniques for the first to third levels of the ladder."
"From the Fourth Stage to the sixth stage, passing each level grants one hundred Immortal Techniques."
"From the seventh level to the Ninth Layer, passing each level grants one thousand Immortal Techniques."
"And the tenth level... If passed, grants ten thousand Immortal Techniques!"
True Immortal Xuan Jiu explained.
"Ten thousand Immortal Techniques?"
Lu Changsheng’s eyes slightly brightened.
He wasn’t completely ignorant of the Immortal Techniques system.
As far as he knew, if one wanted to exchange for an Immortal Treasure at the Golden Immortal Level, it would take ten thousand Immortal Techniques.
This kind of reward is simply madness.
That is an Immortal Treasure at the Golden Immortal Level.
Consider the madness of those Immortal Monarchs for the Golden Immortal Treasure in the Boundary Sea.
Most Immortal Monarchs, even if they perish in the Outer Heaven, cannot obtain ten thousand Immortal Techniques, showing how precious ten thousand Immortal Techniques are.
"What kind of strength is required for the tenth level?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
The reward for the tenth level is so many Immortal Techniques, it surely isn’t simple.
"The tenth level?"
True Immortal Xuan Jiu was slightly surprised but still answered, "I haven’t seen anyone pass the tenth level ladder in all these years. However, long ago, it’s said that someone did."
"As for the strength needed... well, last time, even an Eight Tribulations Great Immortal Monarch attempting the tenth level ladder failed."
"I even think no Immortal Monarch might ever pass the tenth level ladder."
Lu Changsheng understood.
Even an Eight Tribulations Great Immortal Monarch finds it challenging to pass.
Can he pass?
Lu Changsheng wasn’t sure.
After all, he’s unclear about the exact methods used in the Celestial Ladder to test combat strength.
He indeed has a trump card; his Void Realm at the Heavenly Immortal Level is deemed invincible.
But, that requires the presence of a spirit-conscious life form.
If there is no spirit-conscious life form, then Lu Changsheng’s Void Realm would be useless.
However, even if he cannot pass the tenth level, just passing beyond the seventh level would already yield significant benefits.
Lu Changsheng did not rush to challenge.
There were Immortal Monarchs still in the midst of challenging above.
Even for a challenge, one must queue.
Lu Changsheng went to queue.
His rank was number one hundred and eighty-seven.
This meant there were one hundred and eighty-six people ahead.
However, he wasn’t in a hurry.
After all, there are still several years left, which is enough.
Moreover, if it speeds up, it can actually proceed quickly.
Many can’t even pass the first three levels.
Below the ladder, one could see the battles above.
It seems the Celestial Ladder intentionally allows everyone to witness the battle process.
One day, two days, three days...
Initially, Lu Changsheng was interested.
But later, he lost interest.
Because, over these many days, nearly no Immortal Monarch passed the seventh level.
One Immortal Monarch reached the seventh level but couldn’t pass it.
It was quite unfortunate.
And most Immortal Monarchs couldn’t even pass the first three levels.
Which means not acquiring a single Immortal Technique.
This Celestial Ladder, evidently very difficult.
It’s not easy to obtain Immortal Techniques.
It’s worth noting that challenging the Celestial Ladder doesn’t allow the use of Immortal Treasures.
This is quite normal.
After all, if some powerful sects could grant Immortal Monarchs under their command potent Immortal Treasures.
Wouldn’t that be akin to cheating?
The Heavenly Court naturally prevents such situations.
Lu Changsheng waited intermittently for three months.
Finally, his turn arrived today.
"Number one hundred and eighty-seven, Immortal Monarch Changsheng!"
Lu Changsheng looked up towards the Celestial Ladder.
Finally, it’s his turn.
"Swish."
Lu Changsheng flew up, landing on the first layer of the ladder.
However, Lu Changsheng didn’t attract much attention.
After all, in the Heavenly Court, "Immortal Monarch Changsheng" is not well known.
Belongs to the unknown category.
Individuals like Lu Changsheng, often cannot pass even the first three levels.
"First Layer, a foreign race life form at the Heavenly Immortal Level!"
Lu Changsheng already knew the opponent on the Celestial Ladder.
Essentially, it’s a foreign race life form.
It’s the opponents just about to be faced in the Outer Heaven Battlefield.
Perhaps there’s another purpose for the Celestial Ladder.
That’s to familiarize many Immortal Monarchs with the opponents in the Outer Heaven Battlefield.
To avoid being caught off guard.
Of course, there are numerous foreign race life forms in the Outer Heaven Battlefield, the Celestial Ladder only ensures the general strength of the foreign race life forms is somewhat similar.
But what specific foreign race life form one deals with completely depends upon chance and luck.
And the foreign race before Lu Changsheng, he recognized it.
Outer Heavenly life, Ye-cha!
