Yusuf Zuck’s thirty-eight-member team was not the first group to arrive at the Spirit Awakening Heavenly Stone Gate. After all, by the time they set off from the Elephant Mountain Domain, the news had already spread for a day and a night, and the distance was quite far. So, when they arrived at the Spirit Awakening Heavenly Stone Gate, countless people had already entered before them. In fact, just as they arrived, they happened to witness a scene where over twenty people were collectively lifting the stone gate. The gate appeared small, similar to a normal residential courtyard door, but it was incredibly heavy, impossible for a single person to lift. It required seven or eight supreme Dao Lords to combine their strength to lift it quickly and roll inside! When Yusuf Zuck and his thirty-seven companions arrived, those twenty or so people had already lifted and rolled into the stone gate. Of course, they turned back to glance at Yusuf Zuck, all with serious expressions. "Great King, that group just now included people from the Five Elements Gate. It seems many powerful forces have already gone in ahead!" said Wanxiang Mountain, who knew the Five Elements Gate well and had grudges with them. "Hmm, we definitely arrived late, and those behind us will be even later!" Yusuf Zuck nodded, saying, "But it doesn’t matter; we’ll just hurry. The wondrous treasure shall be obtained by those destined, and it’s not always the first who will get it!" "The king is right!" Everyone nodded in agreement. "Alright, step back, let me see if I can lift this stone gate!" Yusuf Zuck signaled everyone to step back. "Great King, no, let us do it. A single person can’t lift this stone gate." All the ministers protested, as it was their duty to face challenges before the king, under whose protection they thrived! "How would we know without trying? I possess immense strength and have the Undying Gold Body, so it should be no problem." After speaking, he fiercely grasped beneath the stone gate with both hands, and with a jolt of his body, a purple light enveloped him. His physical body was more powerful than any cultivator, even stronger than those in the Eternal Life Realm because he had the Undying Gold Body and was constantly refined by Purple Blood Beads, making him both a Qi practicer and a body trainer! "Squeeeak—buzz buzz buzz—" As he exerted his full strength to lift, the stone gate made creaking sounds and was suddenly raised by him! All ministers were dumbfounded; their king was born with Divine Power, with physical strength surpassing seven or eight supreme Dao Lords. With such bodily power, he could easily overcome a supreme Dao Lord! "Yes." The ministers dared not waste time, transforming into streams of light and rushing inside. After the last person entered, Yusuf Zuck rolled his body on the ground and entered through the stone gate! Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥 What lay beyond the stone gate was a world unrevealed, so from that moment, they had to be cautious! "Hooo—" As Yusuf Zuck rolled through the stone gate, he felt a pull automatically draw him in, unable to manage this force, thus allowing his body to be delivered into a black hole. Fortunately, the process was brief, just one or two breaths, and his vision brightened, revealing his thirty-seven subordinates and... the towering structure that loomed ahead. Indeed, he saw a high tower, pitch-black in color, with two streams of energy swirling around its body like dragons, very mystical, and before the tower, there were stone steps extending to Yusuf Zuck and his group’s feet! "Great King!" Seeing Yusuf Zuck also inside, the ministers immediately gathered around him! "What’s happening here?" Yusuf Zuck asked curiously. "Great King, look!" Waylon Gardner pointed in the direction, and when Yusuf Zuck looked, he immediately saw a gigantic stele, a rectangular monument covered with small characters. "Great King, the stele records that this tower is the Spirit Awakening Tower, with eighteen levels, each a world, each a danger, and only by passing through all eighteen levels, reaching the top, can one enter the true Spirit Awakening Heaven. Moreover, no flying or using Divine Consciousness is allowed here." "Oh? And who placed this tower here?" Yusuf Zuck queried curiously. "The inscription doesn’t specify, only detailing the rules entering the tower: once inside, there is no retreat, only advancing or dying. A square lies before the tower with a teleportation formation, which, upon activation, transports you to the teleportation mountain in Transient City!" "Oh." Yusuf Zuck nodded, "Since we’re here, we naturally have to go inside. Those ahead surely went in as well!" "They must have—they’re here for immortality; who would turn back?" "Great King, what do we do?" The ministers looked to Yusuf Zuck, as all decisions were his to make! Yusuf Zuck did not decide immediately. Truth be told, upon seeing the tower and hearing the stele’s account, he hesitated. It’s not that he was indecisive, but something seemed off here! One must realize that Dao Lords and Eternal Life Realm cultivators are among the most powerful in All Heavens and Myriad Realms, yet here stands a tower; it couldn’t possibly be naturally formed but must have been placed by someone! So, who placed this tower here? Who in this world could set a challenge for those in the Eternal Life or Dao Lord realms? This was truly unbelievable and too peculiar! "Great King?" Seeing Yusuf Zuck remain silent, the ministers grew anxious—what was there to hesitate about? They’ve arrived; why not go in? "I’m pondering who put this tower here? The person capable of setting a challenge for those in the Eternal Life or Dao Lord realms—what realm would they belong to?" "Uh..." The ministers were taken aback by Yusuf Zuck’s words; they hadn’t considered this, but upon hearing the king, they realized the truth. Who in this world could set obstacles for those in the Eternal Life or Dao Lord realms? Understand that Dao Lords contend with the heavens, matching the heavens in power; what could withstand them, let alone those in the Eternal Life realm? "Is there an existence beyond the Eternal Life realm?" Yusuf Zuck muttered to himself. "No way, right?" The ministers exclaimed in disbelief. Yusuf Zuck exhaled, shaking his head, "Forget it, we’re here; let’s go in and see!" He was curious to see what obstacles could challenge a Dao Lord! "Great King, be cautious; we’ll lead, you’ll stay in the center!" Several supreme Dao Lords placed themselves ahead of Yusuf Zuck, while others secured the rear, surrounding him as the group swiftly ascended the stone steps. At this moment, excitement waned among them; rather, they pondered the king’s words: who could have placed these obstacles? The steps bore no danger; there were ninety-nine in total, and upon ascending, they saw the tower gate, which was fully open and seemingly free of threats! "I’ll go first; you guard the king!" Bridger Doyle, bravingly, entered without waiting for Yusuf Zuck’s orders! However, upon taking a step inside, it was as if he vanished into the sea, making no sound or signal. The interior was pitch-dark, with nothing visible. "What’s happening?" The ministers grew tense, sensing danger! "Whatever it is, as stated, each level’s a world; this portal surely leads to an unknown space. Bridger’s lack of contact is normal. Let’s go—everyone stay vigilant!" Yusuf Zuck commanded, transforming into a stream of light and rushing inside!
