Chapter 230

Of course, such geniuses are rare; up until now, Zhang Liaofeng has only seen one person with his own eyes: Long Zhi.

Naturally, if one were to expand the scope to the entire Ancient Kingdom, the number of Magic Card Masters with this level of talent might be slightly higher, but it would definitely be countable on the fingers of one hand.

For example, Meng Ningdie, the disciple once taken in by the Night Queen!

However, perhaps because he is the Sovereign of the Northern Territory, Zhang Liaofeng naturally leans more toward Long Zhi, and he believes that Long Zhi's ultimate achievements will not be much worse than Meng Ningdie's.

"However, when do you plan to set off for Frost Capital? There isn't much time left before the Titan Sanctuary opens." After offering a bit of comfort, Zhang Liaofeng changed the subject, not continuing to delve into the matter of Bing Tianchen and the other two, as that was already a foregone conclusion.

"In two days, I will leave Frost Leaf City and head to Frost Capital." Coming back to his senses, Long Zhi replied, "Thank you for your care during this time, Senior."

Zhang Liaofeng had played a significant role in Long Zhi's ability to advance from a High-tier King to a Peak King in just these few short months, leaving him only one step away from breaking through to the Emperor Realm.

"It's nothing, you earned it, and you've handled quite a few matters for me during this time as well." Waving his hand, Zhang Liaofeng indicated that it was nothing to worry about. "If I'm not mistaken, you intend to enter the Titan Sanctuary and use the power of the Heaven-Reaching Tower to break through to the Emperor Realm, right?"

"That's right." Long Zhi nodded firmly. "When the time comes, I will definitely be able to go further!"

Thinking back to his loss to Lu Li, Long Zhi couldn't help but clench his fists; he would absolutely not fall twice in the same place.

The trials of the Titan Sanctuary fluctuate based on the strength of the Magic Card Master who enters.

If a King enters the Titan Sanctuary, the difficulty will be tailored to the King level; but if an Emperor enters, the difficulty will correspondingly rise to the Emperor Realm level.

However, if one breaks through to a new realm within the Titan Sanctuary, the difficulty of the assessment does not increase accordingly.

In other words, even if Long Zhi successfully breaks through to the Emperor Realm inside the Titan Sanctuary, the trial he faces will still be at the King level, not the Emperor level.

In this way, by dealing with King-level challenges with Emperor-level strength, Long Zhi believes he will surely be able to go further.

This is actually a loophole in the Titan Sanctuary, and many Magic Card Masters who obtain entry quotas enter while on the verge of a breakthrough.

Long Zhi is not the only Magic Card Master who has thought of exploiting this loophole.

It is just that the loophole of the Titan Sanctuary only circulates within the Northern Territory and has not leaked out.

Therefore, even the Night Queen, who once entered the Titan Sanctuary, is unaware of this point.

Or rather, even if the Night Queen were aware of it, she wouldn't care.

431. Dimensional Mapping

"Since you have already decided, I won't say much more." With a wave of his hand, a storage Magic Card was tossed by Zhang Liaofeng in front of Long Zhi. "Consider this a small investment from me. Don't bother refusing; after you promote to the Emperor Realm, I believe you will definitely find a use for it."

"I understand, Senior." Long Zhi nodded firmly and put away the storage Magic Card given by Zhang Liaofeng. "In this Titan Sanctuary assessment, I will definitely surpass the others and successfully reach the top!"

……

Blue lightning streaked rapidly across the ice-covered land, and the silhouette of a massive capital city soon appeared on the route the blue lightning was traveling.

Noticing this, the speed of the blue lightning gradually decreased, and the Thunder Dragon Beast appeared amidst the ice and snow. "Master Beast Tamer, we are about to arrive at our destination."

"Finally reached Frost Capital." Hearing the Thunder Dragon Beast, the gazes of Lu Li and Su Xueyi tightened slightly.

Even though they were still some distance away, both of them seemed to vaguely see a massive Heaven-Reaching Tower standing in the very center of Frost Capital.

But if one wanted to look closely, they would be stunned to find that there was no Heaven-Reaching Tower in the center of Frost Capital; the scene just now seemed like a mere phantom.

"That should be a dimensional plane mapping. I didn't expect that the Heaven-Reaching Tower located within the Titan Sanctuary could actually achieve this, distorting space to a certain extent." Noticing this, Lu Li couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Generally speaking, when there is a special building within a dimensional plane capable of interfering with reality, there is a chance for dimensional plane mapping to occur. These special buildings appear from time to time in the Magic Card civilization.

And buildings capable of causing dimensional plane mapping often have very special effects. Clearly, the Heaven-Reaching Tower within the Titan Sanctuary is one such special building.

However, this is ultimately just a mapping, so apart from causing strange sights, these mappings do not have any impact on the Magic Card civilization.

"This is also my first time seeing a dimensional plane mapping." Nestled in Lu Li's arms, Su Xueyi nodded. "I have never seen such a scene in Cang Capital before."

"After all, there aren't many buildings capable of causing dimensional plane mapping, so it's no surprise that Cang Capital doesn't have one." At the Frost Capital city gate, Lu Li jumped down from the back of the Thunder Dragon Beast while holding Su Xueyi, then raised his hand to recall the Thunder Dragon Beast back to the Eternal Land. "Moreover, Cang Capital's strength wouldn't be affected just because it lacks such a building."

If a building capable of causing dimensional plane mapping could affect a capital city, then the twelve capitals of the Ancient Kingdom would have already changed hands.

"Besides, if the Eternal Night plane were to completely stabilize, it would inevitably cause dimensional mapping as well." Having entered the depths of the Eternal Night plane, Lu Li was very certain of this.

Even if he took away the most precious World Pillar Fire Seed fragment from the Eternal Night plane, it would not cause any impact on this.

"That's true." Hearing Lu Li's words, Su Xueyi nodded thoughtfully; she still trusted Lu Li very much.

"Let's go. There are about two days left before the Titan Sanctuary officially opens. Let's go to the assembly point to report first. We can use these next two days to have a good rest." Putting his arm around Su Xueyi's slender waist, the two of them entered Frost Capital.

Having traveled all the way from Frost Leaf City, although time was relatively tight, Lu Li and Su Xueyi had managed to visit quite a few of the satellite cities of Frost Capital, one of the three capitals of the Northern Territory.

Compared to the satellite cities, Frost Capital, as one of the twelve capitals of the Ancient Kingdom, far surpassed its satellite cities in both population and prosperity, and even compared to Cang Capital, it was not inferior in the slightest.

Coupled with the unique icy and snowy weather of the Northern Territory, it created the unique northern scenery of Frost Capital, which was even more attractive to Lu Li and Su Xueyi than Cang Capital.

After all, they were both from Cang Capital, and it was rare for them to see such scenery in their daily lives.

However, the two of them didn't spend too much time admiring the beautiful scenery of Frost Capital now, but instead walked quickly toward the location of the Titan Temple.

The Titan Temple is not open to the public on ordinary days; it only opens synchronously on the days when the Titan Sanctuary opens, and it only receives the Magic Card Masters entering the Titan Sanctuary and their companions.

Furthermore, there are also quantity requirements for the companions of Magic Card Masters; not just anyone can enter at will.

The reason why the Titan Sanctuary and the Titan Temple open synchronously is that the entrance to this dimensional plane, the Titan Sanctuary, is set up within the Titan Temple...

Therefore, for all Magic Card Masters who want to enter the Titan Sanctuary, the Titan Temple can be said to be a must-pass path.

After Lu Li and Su Xueyi arrived at the Titan Temple, they found that quite a few people had arrived earlier than them one after another.

Among them, the vast majority were Magic Card Masters from the Northern Territory, accounting for as much as ninety-nine percent.

And the remaining one percent were Magic Card Masters from the other three major territories besides the Northern Territory.

These Magic Card Masters were all like Lu Li, having obtained the quota to enter the Titan Sanctuary due to various coincidences.

It's just that the number of these Magic Card Masters from the other three major territories was pitifully small; even including Lu Li, there were only a few of them, countable on the fingers of one hand.

Clearly, for Magic Card Masters from the other three major territories, obtaining a quota for the Titan Sanctuary is not an easy task.

After glancing casually at the people present, Lu Li took Su Xueyi to handle the reporting and check-in procedures.

"It's actually him? He also obtained a quota to enter the Titan Sanctuary?" While Lu Li and Su Xueyi were handling the check-in procedures, Long Zhi, who had also arrived at the Titan Temple, looked stunned after seeing Lu Li.

But soon, the astonishment on Long Zhi's face disappeared.

The quota for the Titan Sanctuary is not only open to Magic Card Masters from the Northern Territory; although it would be more troublesome for Magic Card Masters from the other three major territories to obtain a quota to enter the Titan Sanctuary, it was only more troublesome, not impossible.

If it were Lu Li, Long Zhi would find it very easy to accept, after all, the other party had defeated him in the academy competition.

That Lu Li could obtain an entry quota for the Titan Sanctuary, in Long Zhi's view, indeed had a greater possibility than others.

Thinking this way, Long Zhi walked straight toward Lu Li and Su Xueyi. And this action of Long Zhi also attracted the attention of the vast majority of Magic Card Masters within the Titan Sanctuary.

In the Northern Territory, Magic Card Masters who can obtain a quota to enter the Titan Sanctuary all have some fame, and they naturally have heard of Long Zhi; the other party can also be considered a rising star in the Northern Frontier.

Of course, they also didn't think they were worse than Long Zhi.

"It's you?" After finishing the check-in procedures, Lu Li also saw Long Zhi who had come before him and couldn't help but grin.

432. Feeding the Young Master Dog Food

Lu Li still had some impression of Long Zhi; after all, the other party's talent was second only to Meng Ningdie, and even a bit stronger than the girls like Shangguan Wan'er, roughly equivalent to the Dragon Lady sisters.

At first, not seeing Long Zhi in the crowd, Lu Li thought the other party hadn't obtained a quota for the Titan Sanctuary, but now it seems he had overthought it.

The quota in his hand was obtained from Ren Feige; even Ren Feige could obtain a quota, so Long Zhi naturally wouldn't be a problem.

If Long Zhi, with his talent and strength, couldn't obtain a quota for the Titan Sanctuary, then I'm afraid the number of Magic Card Masters here would have to be reduced by quite a bit.

"I didn't expect that you also obtained a quota to enter the Titan Sanctuary, but it certainly doesn't make people feel too surprised." Long Zhi stared fixedly at Lu Li. "It just so happens that in this Titan Sanctuary trial, I won't lose to you again."

"Long Zhi once lost to the other party?" Although they didn't know what had happened between the two, hearing Long Zhi's words, the other Northern Territory Magic Card Masters present subconsciously frowned.

Many of them had strength equivalent to Long Zhi; of course, they were quite a bit older than Long Zhi in age, after all, not everyone could achieve what Long Zhi did and reach the Peak King level at this age.

In fact, there were quite a few Magic Card Masters present whose strength was even worse than Long Zhi's.

Even if the Magic Card Masters present didn't think in their hearts that they were worse than Long Zhi, they had to admit that Long Zhi was undoubtedly an extremely difficult opponent.

If Long Zhi wasn't lying, then this Lu Li was definitely not simple. And the Magic Card Masters present didn't think that with Long Zhi's personality, the other party had any need to lie about this!

However, for Magic Card Masters who could obtain a quota to enter the Titan Sanctuary, this point alone was enough to show that the other party's strength had at least reached the average value.

It's just that everyone was only slightly surprised that Long Zhi had once lost to Lu Li, and they took two extra looks at Lu Li without taking it too much to heart.

Because after entering the Titan Sanctuary, all participants would be divided into independent spaces to participate in the trials, which meant they wouldn't run into other participants, and thus there would be no competitive relationship between them.

Of course, this didn't mean they could easily participate in the Titan Sanctuary trials, nor did it mean there was no competitive relationship between them.

Although participants wouldn't run into each other and fight, all Magic Card Masters who entered the Titan Sanctuary ultimately needed to climb the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

And in the Heaven-Reaching Tower, how long one could persist and how many floors one could pass, this was the competition and comparison between all participants.

If the final result was that one was the first to be eliminated, that would be embarrassing enough. It also showed that whether in strength or talent, one was a notch below others.

This was also something that all participants who obtained the Titan Sanctuary quota did not want to see.

The Titan Sanctuary trial is not only a test of the participants' strength, but also a test of the participants' talent.

"Save that sentence for when you defeat me in the Titan Sanctuary trial." Hearing Long Zhi's words, Lu Li's face was full of calmness. "I also don't intend to return empty-handed in the upcoming Titan Sanctuary assessment."

Saying more now and making more harsh threats had no meaning; who could laugh last would depend on the final result.
