Chapter 1052: Mount Penta-Tier, The Five Heavens!

Hearing him, everyone's expression became serious.

They had finally arrived...The place that would decide the winners of the Celestial Luck Banners!

Yun Yang peered ahead and saw a white mist fill the heaven and earth hundreds of miles in the distance. When he looked at it carefully, he only saw a vast sea of clouds, and the rest could not be seen clearly. He did not even see the Mount Penta-Tier mentioned by Luo Dajiang.

"That is the Fog of Celestial Luck. It has completely enveloped the entire Mount Penta-Tier at the moment...What an amazing sight to behold!"

Luo Dajiang took a deep breath and his expression became solemn as he said in a deep voice, "Mount Penta-Tier is also called the Five Heavens by the warriors under the Sacred Heart Palace. As the name implies, every time you climb one more tier on this Mount Penta-Tier, it is equivalent to ascending one more layer of heaven! Therefore, the scenery on the higher mountains is naturally completely different from that under the mountains.

"Such a statement does make sense. The lowest level of Mount Penta-Tier holds the qualification battle, which is also the starting point of the elimination battle, while the second level is the place to compete for the lower-class Celestial Luck Banners. Few can cross this level, and even we might not be able to cross it this time. The third level is where people fight for the medial-class Celestial Luck Banners. The fighting there is even grander, but the number of participants is extremely few. As for the battle of the superior-class Celestial Luck Banners held on the fourth level, it is far beyond our level, and hence useless to talk about. The fifth level, which is also the highest level, is the place which the Sacred Heart Palace's higher-ups use for supervision. The scenery on each level of the mountain is completely different."

Before this, Yun Yang had already learned something about Mount Penta-Tier from Qian Duoduo, Shi Wuchen, and even Dong Qitian. But when he heard Luo Dajiang's explanation, he felt enlightened again. "Does this mountain have a spatial origin? Does the saying that every time one climbs one more tier of mountain, one is equivalent to ascending one more layer of heaven, exist since a long time ago?" He asked casually.

"No. It is said that this mountain was just a very ordinary mountain before, but it has been surrounded by an abundant sacred power and protected by celestial luck since it was chosen as the place to hold the battles of Celestial Luck Banners. Over time, it has really become a sacred place with extraordinary abilities."

Yun Yang's curiosity was aroused. "Oh? The so-called 'sacred place with extraordinary abilities' surely has some other meaning, right?"

"How should I put this...I've only heard of it but not witnessed it with my own eyes. I heard that there are countless mysteries hidden in this Mount Penta-Tier, and the most magical of them is that those who die in the battle of the Celestial Luck Banners can be resurrected on the spot after the battle is decided."

"In other words, there is only victory and defeat in this battle, not death."

Yun Yang nodded and asked, "Does it have any limits? Can those killed in the qualification battle be resurrected as well?"

Luo Dajiang said with a wry smile, "It doesn't go that far. Only those killed in the battle of the Celestial Luck Banners can be resurrected. There are too many people taking part in the qualification battle. If all of them can be resurrected, then this magic is not valuable anymore! Those who take part in the mere qualification battle are not eligible to enjoy the treatment of being resurrected by celestial luck."

"We've never really participated in the battle of the Celestial Luck Banners, so the details must be based on the actual situation," he added. "Everything will have to wait until then before a final conclusion can be reached upon. You can't count on what I've said."

Looking at the thick fog in the distance, Yun Yang said lightly, "I understand. Mount Penta-Tier is only about four days away, so we have some extra time. I think we will rest and recuperate here for a night, so we will go there in our best condition tomorrow morning."

"I want all disciples to have a good rest and give me your best condition tomorrow. Do you understand?"

...

It was quiet throughout the night. Yun Yang himself did not care much about the battle, but because it was the first time they were taking part in such a major event, he could not show such an attitude. After all, this event was sacred to the whole Residence of Nine Supremes and needed to be taken seriously.

At this moment, the hearts of all disciples were filled with dignity and solemnity; they simply made this battle their life's goal.

The next morning, Yun Yang came out, still dressed in purple. He saw that the top ten disciples were all dressed in spotless white while Shi Wuchen and the others were all in blue, looking very clean and tidy.

He glanced at the crowd carefully and found that each one of them looked radiant and in very good condition. Luo Dajiang and Tie Qingcang had also shaved and looked several years younger.

But at this moment, no one had any desire to make fun of them. They merely glanced and examined each other before moving on.

As they kept moving forward, the thick fog became closer and closer. Soon, it was close to hand and within reach. Yun Yang stepped forward and his body came into contact with the fog for the first time. He felt a strange sensation at once, and at the same time, an illusory Celestial Luck Banner appeared behind him and hovered in the air.

In the next moment, the illusory banner flew into the thick fog just like a swallow returning to its nest. Then, a sudden ripple spread across the fog and a portal completely constructed of fog appeared in front of him with a muffled noise.

On the top of the portal were several words composed of black fog:

Residence of Nine Supremes

Qualification: Ten Wins

Approved to enter the qualification battle zone on the first level.

It was the first time everyone from Residence of Nine Supremes, including Yun Yang, had seen such a strange phenomenon.

Although it was all hazy fog, it could form a door and even words. Moreover, as far as they could see, it was clearly not controlled by anyone or any mystical Qi. Everyone could not help marveling at and admiring such a magical display as they walked into the door in turn.

When everyone had gone in, Lin Xiaorou, who was at the end of the line, looked around and saw that the door behind her was no longer there, but had been replaced by a thick fog that could not be seen through.

Beneath their feet was a continuous passage leading into the unknown. As they continued to move forward, the passage also continued to extend forward. Yun Yang deliberately sped up a little, but the passage also extended faster and was not affected by his acceleration. It was indeed a wonder!

When he was still at Tianxuan Continent, Yun Yang was used to detecting potential dangers in advance and taking preventive measures. He was very cautious about unknown environments. He knew they should not be in any danger here, but because they were in an unknown place, he still instinctively looked around and was constantly checking the current environment and atmosphere.

He produced a cloud manifestation that he had not used for a long time and tried to fuse it with the surrounding fog, hoping to detect whether anyone was controlling the fog.

However, although Yun Yang felt that his cloud manifestation fused perfectly with the surrounding fog, he did not feel anything else. There was still a vast cloud of fog around them, and there was no sound or anything. He could not even feel whether he was stepping on earth or mountain.

Could it be that the road under his feet was made up of fog as well?
