Chapter 659: Recovering the Divine Power, the Response of the Tianshan Divine Palace

Experience is like a foundation stone, constantly solidifying Jiang Chen's conviction.

The stronger the enemy, the more steadfast Jiang Chen's belief in becoming stronger.

Ambition will not disappear, nor will it be crushed.

In reality, inside the Shenlong Ancient City of the Demon-Slaying Fortress, as the Teleportation Array lit up, Li Xueru and Feng Xiu stepped out together.

After the previous incident was resolved, Feng Yiming had sent word back to the military.

The current head of the Feng Family, the contemporary Sword God Feng Xiu, contacted Li Xueru as soon as he received the news.

The two went to the Deep Space, found the Space-time Portal leading to the Lower Space, and then used the teleportation advantage of the Shenlong Tower to arrive directly at Shenlong Ancient City.

Without using their power, they could stay in Shenlong Ancient City for about an hour.

Feng Xiu looked at the Shenlong Tower, which had not yet been put away, and murmured in praise, "Lao Li, I feel like your Shenlong Tower is stronger than before."

Li Xueru chuckled lightly, "It is indeed a bit stronger."

Feng Xiu's eyes held envy, "That's right, you're already Level 96, so it's only natural to get stronger."

Li Xueru said, "You're almost there too!"

Feng Xiu, very tall, laughed heartily, "All thanks to your good student."

A faint aura of law was also subtly emanating from Feng Xiu; he had already begun to touch upon the laws and was not far from Level 96.

Feng Xiu's eyes held a hint of pride. The Feng Family had passed down generation after generation, never producing a high-level Divine Level.

He would be the first in the Feng Family's history, destined to rewrite the Feng Family's history.

Li Xueru said nothing; he glanced at his own Shenlong Tower.

The Shenlong Tower had indeed grown stronger, but the reason for its strengthening was not himself, but the Blood God Plate.

Through analyzing, learning from, and imitating the Blood God Plate, he had finally found a path to advance the Shenlong Tower further.

And the large quantity of quasi-Mythological Class materials Jiang Chen brought, along with some precious Mythological Class materials, were enough for him to upgrade the Shenlong Tower.

The Divine Level Tower had the potential to break through to Mythological Class and ascend to Mythological.

All of this was brought about by Jiang Chen.

Li Xueru often said to Hong Jishi that the best thing he had ever done in his life was to take Jiang Chen as his disciple.

Li Xueru hadn't been to Shenlong Ancient City for a long time, and his eyes held a trace of nostalgia.

Feng Xiu said, "I still remember back then, when we explored and adventured in the Lower Space, we nearly died several times."

"Haven't been here for years, but the ancient city seems livelier than in our day."

Li Xueru said, "Indeed. With the Shenlong Ancient City, our Human Race has a foothold in the Lower Space, which is much better."

"And the function of Shenlong Ancient City is not limited to this. Our Three Towers of Shenlong were built by imitating the Ancient Thunder Tower."

Feng Xiu's eyes held a strange look, "It's strange that although all three were built by imitating the Ancient Thunder Tower, their functions are completely different."

Li Xueru shook his head, "I can't figure that out either."

The Three Towers of Shenlong—the Trial Tower, the Shenlong Tower, and the Demon-Slaying Tower—were all built by imitating the Ancient Thunder Tower.

As a result, the three towers each had different effects, but they were all extremely powerful, ranking as Mythological Class, and were top-tier equipment of the Shenlong Empire.

They did not know the level the Ancient Thunder Tower was at; they could only grasp a fraction of its essence.

However, for Li Xueru and the others, it was more than enough.

Feng Yiming hurried over and bowed to each of them, "Greetings, Family Head. Greetings, Confucian God."

Feng Yiming said, "We don't have much time. Let me explain the situation from that day clearly."

Feng Yiming immediately recounted the events of that day. After Li Xueru finished listening, his figure shot into the sky like a rocket.

He was extremely fast, his body cloaked in a flowing aura—the aura of law.

The law Li Xueru had comprehended was the Law of Arrays. The Law of Arrays was infinitely mutable, able to evolve into various forms and display various functions according to Li Xueru's will.

Now, with the law transforming into wings, Li Xueru's speed was like lightning.

In just one second, Li Xueru had appeared at an altitude of fifty thousand meters, which was already the edge of the Lower Space.

Going any further would touch the spatial barrier. What lay beyond the space was unknown.

Li Xueru had once explored it, but quickly returned in a sorry state.

The outer space had violent chaotic currents, extremely terrifying.

At that time, he was nearly torn apart by the violent spatial currents.

Two seconds after Li Xueru arrived, Feng Xiu also flew up.

Just in terms of speed, Feng Xiu was already far behind Li Xueru.

Feng Xiu's eyes held envy; this was the difference between Level 95 and Level 96.

A difference of one level, a world of difference.

Sensing here, Li Xueru said, "This should be the origin point of the Electric Element. I can feel that there was once an astonishing amount of Electric Element here, and judging by the quantity and power of the Electric Element, even if you and I came in, we would die."

Feng Xiu asked, "Can you determine whether it was man-made or natural?"

Li Xueru's gaze fell on the spatial barrier. The spatial barrier had been completely repaired, and Li Xueru could discern nothing.

After looking for a while, Li Xueru shook his head, "Hard to tell."

Feng Xiu said, "I heard from Yiming that Divine General Jiang was present at the time. Divine General Jiang should know something. Let's go ask him."

The two descended together. Feng Xiu asked Feng Yiming, "What did Divine General Jiang say at the time?"

Feng Yiming told the truth, "Divine General Jiang said, if I wanted to know more, I should improve myself quickly."

He did not embellish, merely repeating Jiang Chen's original words.

Feng Xiu said, "It seems Divine General Jiang probably knows something."

Li Xueru nodded, "I'll ask him later. Captain Feng, raise the Ancient Thunder Tower. I'm going inside to take a look."

Feng Yiming did as he was told and raised the Ancient Thunder Tower.

Li Xueru entered the Tower, arrived at the core, and attempted to communicate with it.

A few minutes later, Li Xueru walked back out of the Tower and shook his head at Feng Xiu. "The core refuses to communicate with me."

Feng Xiu was slightly taken aback. "Why?"

Li Xueru shook his head. "I don't know. I suspect Xiao Chen will know."

"Alright then, we'll have to ask Divine General Jiang later."

Their investigation yielded no results.

However, from Feng Yiming's description, one could sense that some anomaly must have occurred back then.

Li Xueru looked up at the sky. "Let's hope it's nothing bad."

In the Tianshan Mountains, the millennial blizzard had never ceased.

Occasionally, a trace of sorrow would stain the wind and snow, as if the gods were weeping.

Some had even woven beautiful stories around it.

Jiang Chen guessed that that inexplicable sorrow might be the Tianshan Great God mourning his wife.

The Tianshan Great God's true body slumbered, while his consciousness had transformed into an Elemental Body. The more this was the case, the more painful it was.

If he could truly remain asleep forever, there would be no suffering.

He missed his wife and had always sought someone who could retrieve his Divine Sound God's divine throne.

Yet for several thousand years, he had found no suitable person.

Jiang Chen could understand that feeling of urgency mixed with the fear of forgetting.

Jiang Chen went up the mountain again. This time he moved swiftly, almost sprinting to the summit.

Along the way, when people saw him like this, many revealed mocking smiles.

Running on the peak of Tianshan Mountain—the outcome would likely be very embarrassing.

The closer to the summit, the greater the pressure.

Most people advanced by resisting the pressure step by step; no one was like Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen paid no heed to the pressure and reached the summit at top speed.

At the summit, he did not enter the Instance. Instead, he took out the Divine Sound God's wind chime.

The wind chime's sound rang out softly, then rapidly expanded through the wind and snow, spreading across the entire Tianshan Mountain in the blink of an eye.

In the camp, all the professionals heard the sound of the wind chime.

"Where's that wind chime sound coming from?"

"It sounds so nice, like a song."

"Why am I filled with fighting spirit? I really want to go into the Instance right now and fight some monsters."

"No, I hear some sorrow in the wind chime sound. I feel a bit sad."

Everyone discussed it animatedly, feeling immensely amazed.

Each person's experience of the wind chime sound was different.

Jiang Chen had merely rung the wind chime, producing only an ordinary sound, not a soul sound.

A thousand people, a thousand sounds; when a thousand people heard the wind chime, there would be a thousand different feelings.

The passionate and courageous would hear it and be filled with fighting spirit.

The timid would hear it and feel fear.

Those with sorrow in their hearts would hear it and be filled with grief.

Those with a soft heart would hear it and feel compassion for all things.

Suddenly, someone pointed at the summit of Tianshan Peak. "Look, there's a palace on the summit!"

Under everyone's gaze, an exquisite palace appeared on the summit of Tianshan Peak.

The Tianshan Divine Palace emerged amidst the clouds and mist.

The thousand-year unceasing blizzard abruptly stopped, and ten thousand rays of rosy light scattered down from the sky, draping over the Tianshan Divine Palace, magnificent and resplendent.

Everyone was stunned; this was a scene they had never seen before.

"So there really is a divine palace on Tianshan Peak."

"Tianshan Divine Palace! It's the Tianshan Divine Palace! The Tianshan Divine Palace really exists!"

"The legend is actually true. The legend says that gods live in the Tianshan Divine Palace."

"I really want to go up and see it."

The professionals marveled endlessly.

Then they saw someone fly into the Tianshan Divine Palace, and one by one, their jaws dropped in astonishment.

In an instant, Tianshan Mountain shook.

Countless professionals rushed upward, wanting to enter the Tianshan Divine Palace.
