Capítulo 1716: Chapter 1705: The Path to Heaven Opens The direction to the west of the Dragon Origin Secret Realm. Cheng Qingtian and Jin Wenqi from the Tian Xuan Realm looked up toward the sky. These past few days, they have been searching for treasures in the Dragon Origin Secret Realm while also tracking Ye Chenfeng and his companions! But they have not found any treasures, nor have they discovered any trace of Ye Chenfeng and the others. At this moment, as Cheng Qingtian and Jin Wenqi gazed at the four pillars of light soaring into the sky, with the deep dragon roar echoing in their ears, a hint of joy finally appeared on their faces. Cheng Qingtian and Jin Wenqi were closest to the pillar of white light rising in the west. After exchanging glances, Cheng Qingtian said, “It seems that the ancestral ground of the Dragon Clan might really hold the Dragon Clan’s inheritance.” Jin Wenqi’s previous injuries had completely healed, and there was an undisguisable excitement in his calm eyes as he said, “The legend of the Dragon Clan is well known in the Tian Xuan Realm. If we obtain the Dragon Clan’s inheritance and grow stronger, the entire Tian Xuan Realm might be in our grasp.” Cheng Qingtian and Jin Wenqi quickly headed toward the pillar of light soaring up in the west. Inside the Ascendant Pavilion, where the white pillar of light shot from the north. Ye Chenfeng watched the sudden dramatic change, feeling both shocked and excited. It seemed that Old White and Old Black’s guess was correct: blood was needed to reveal the special features hidden within the Ascendant Pavilion. After all, no killing is allowed within the Ascendant Pavilion, so who would randomly cut themselves? Even if an injured person ran into the Ascendant Pavilion, accidentally letting blood fall on the ground would be useless. To completely reveal the special features within the Ascendant Pavilion, blood must be dripped on the floors of all three levels. Normally, injured people entering the Ascendant Pavilion would first heal on the ground floor, so it’s impossible to have blood on all three floors. Yu Shuiyao, Zuo Feibai, and Li Yanyan, witnessing the sudden changes and feeling the terrifying power inside the white pillar of light, were utterly terrified. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱 Ye Chenfeng headed straight to the third floor of the Ascendant Pavilion, with Zuo Feibai and the others closely following him. Ye Chenfeng arrived at the platform outside the third floor. Observing the same pillars of white light rising from other directions, he realized that Cheng Qingtian and others must have discovered this huge commotion, indicating someone was coming to compete for the Dragon Clan’s inheritance with him. However, Ye Chenfeng already regarded the Dragon Clan’s inheritance as his own. No one was going to take away his opportunity. As the dragon roar echoing across the heavens gradually faded, Ye Chenfeng clearly sensed the air in the Dragon Origin Secret Realm was thickening with Dragon Qi. While Ye Chenfeng was deep in thought. Suddenly, the pillar of white light from the Ascendant Pavilion shook violently. As the gigantic pillar of white light shook, the ground around began to tremble. The more severely the pillar shook, the more violently the ground trembled, as if an earthquake was happening. Zuo Feibai, Yu Shuiyao, and Li Yanyan stood behind Ye Chenfeng, their gaze fixed entirely on him, knowing he caused the changes in the Ascendant Pavilion. Their eyes were filled with thick confusion, wondering what Ye Chenfeng was really up to? Nevertheless, Zuo Feibai and the others harmoniously chose not to disturb Ye Chenfeng, quietly standing behind him. The amplitude of the pillar’s shaking grew larger and the ground trembled more violently. Ye Chenfeng felt the massive pillar of white light seemed to be expanding, with a powerful force ready to be unleashed. As Ye Chenfeng just had this feeling. “Boom! Boom! Boom!” The deafening noises echoed between heaven and earth. The gigantic pillar of white light at the Ascendant Pavilion burst apart, releasing turbulent energy and a blinding light that forced Ye Chenfeng and the others to shut their eyes instantly. The energy erupting from the pillar was so powerful that Ye Chenfeng felt that even a trace striking him might end his life. Likewise shutting their eyes, Zuo Feibai, Yu Shuiyao, and Li Yanyan, feeling the terrifying energy raging around, turned pale and shivered under the blinding light. About ten minutes later. The turbulent and terrifying energy slowly faded away, and the piercing light vanished. Ye Chenfeng slowly opened his eyes, instantly widening them. Zuo Feibai, Yu Shuiyao, and Li Yanyan opened their eyes as well, relieved that the terrifying energy hadn’t harmed them—a stroke of luck indeed. But when Zuo Feibai and the others gradually adjusted to the light and looked toward the platform front, their eyes opened wider than Ye Chenfeng’s, their faces changing frequently, even holding their breath. The explosive pillar of white light hadn’t destroyed the surrounding place. However, beyond the platform appeared gigantic white stairways, layer upon layer ascending into the sky. Looking toward the two suns in the sky, the colossal stairs pierced into the clouds, leading somewhere unknown. Upon regaining some composure, Ye Chenfeng understood that the terrifying energy from the pillar likely created these giant stairways. Ye Chenfeng glanced at the other directions where the white pillars vanished, noticing the same stairways appeared, leading into the sky from all four cardinal directions. Opening the Skyward Journey! Acquiring the Dragon Clan’s inheritance! These three small statements resurfaced in Ye Chenfeng’s mind. Ye Chenfeng was nearly certain that the so-called Skyward Journey was right before him. Now that the journey has opened, he must traverse it to obtain the Dragon Clan’s inheritance. Ye Chenfeng glanced at the puzzled Zuo Feibai and the others, offering a vague explanation: “I discovered a secret within the Ascendant Pavilion. After researching for several days, I finally exposed this secret. Walking through these stairways to the sky might grant some ancient inheritance.” Ye Chenfeng did not specify that it was the Dragon Clan’s inheritance. Yu Shuiyao looked at the colossal stairway vanishing into the sky, adjusted her emotions, and said, “Ye Chenfeng, don’t worry, since you discovered this inheritance, I will not covet what’s yours.” After Yu Shuiyao’s statement, Zuo Feibai and Li Yanyan also voiced they wouldn’t covet the inheritance Ye Chenfeng found. Ye Chenfeng was indifferent about it, recognizing the stairways were unusual, not for anyone to just ascend. He remarked, “Feel free. If you want to see where it leads, I won’t oppose it. I trust your integrity.” Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s words, Yu Shuiyao, Zuo Feibai, and Li Yanyan were delighted. Though they wouldn’t covet Ye Chenfeng’s inheritance, their curiosity about it was undeniable. They simply wished to examine what’s above without ulterior motives. Among the three, Zuo Feibai was most familiar with Ye Chenfeng, knowing his ancestor’s temperament, he smiled and said, “Ancestor, I’ll tag along and check it out myself.” Yu Shuiyao and Li Yanyan also nodded, intrigued by what might exist on the stairway leading skyward. Ye Chenfeng mentally shook his head, understanding the stairways were likely no simple task. Yet he withheld the detailed warning, lest Yu Shuiyao and the others suspect he didn’t want them to ascend. …(To be continued.
