Chapter 38 The Bridge to Heaven
"Hmm." The Lord of Purgatory continued, "Of the 18 direct disciples, 3 have perished. Apart from you, the remaining 14 are all Universe Venerables."
Lu Xing nodded. Without the potential to become a Universe Venerable, the Lord of the Universe would almost never accept a disciple, so it was normal that the other disciples were all Universe Venerables.
"However, you are still young. I believe it won't be long before you become a Venerable One," the Lord of Purgatory said.
For the Lord of the Universe, Lu Xing has only lived for about 104 epochs. He might not even have been in seclusion for that long. Moreover, there are many world lords in the Primordial Secret Realm who have lived for seven or eight hundred epochs.
"Yes, teacher," Lu Xing replied respectfully.
"What are your plans next?" the Lord of Purgatory asked.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Xing replied, "This disciple plans to master teleportation in Chaos City, and then go to the outer battlefields again to fight. I can also try out those high-end battlefields."
"Hahaha, when you leave, go see the Lord of Chaos City. This avatar of mine cannot be away for too long. He will bestow treasures upon you on my behalf," said the Lord of Purgatory. "If you encounter insurmountable danger, remember that it is better to self-destruct than to be enslaved."
"Understood, teacher." Lu Xing nodded seriously. Of course he knew that if he self-destructed, the Lord of the Universe could reverse time and resurrect him, but if he was enslaved by his soul, there would be no way to save him.
Then the Lord of Purgatory gave a few more instructions, which Lu Xing readily agreed to.
"Go."
"This disciple takes his leave."
Lu Xing teleported away from the palace and immediately returned to his virtual universe residence.
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 202ᴋᴋs.ᴄᴏᴍ]
"It's time to try the Bridge to Heaven next," Lu Xing murmured, as he sent an application to the Virtual Universe System to enter the Bridge to Heaven.
Soon, a voice rang in his ears, "Identity confirmed, Lu Xing. You have permanently gained the qualification to enter the Tongtian Bridge. We hope you will work hard and reach the end of the Tongtian Bridge."
"Initiating the teleportation now."
A special dimension in the virtual universe.
In this plane, there is an endless, shimmering sea, with only one enormous island situated on its surface.
The island's edge has 52 ports, which undoubtedly represent the 52 Chaos Monuments that correspond to the Sky Bridge.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Xing appeared in a huge square in the center of the island. There were only a few people standing there, and naturally very few people who had crossed the Sky Bridge outside of the Genius Battle period.
Soon, a man dressed in black robes with four ears but no nose walked towards him, smiling as he said, "Your Highness Lu Xing, I am Baffin, the guardian of this Tongtian Bridge plane. You can call me the guardian."
"Okay." Lu Xing nodded, then asked, "Is anyone trying to cross the Sky Bridge right now?"
The Lord of Purgatory did not grant him any extra chances to comprehend the Chaos Stele of Void Mark, presumably because he knew that he could obtain a large number of chances simply by crossing the Bridge to Heaven.
"The King of Thorns is currently attempting to cross the twentieth level of the Heavenly Bridge. Based on past experience, it should take him about two more days," Baffin said.
"Oh?" Lu Xing was somewhat surprised. He had actually witnessed the once-in-a-million-years event of a king conquering the Heavenly Bridge. "Does King Cichen often try this?"
Baffin nodded slightly. "The King of Thorns has crossed the Bridge to Heaven twelve times in the last thousand years, and this is the thirteenth time."
"Twelve times!" Lu Xing was slightly surprised.
They come to challenge for the throne every century on average, which is far too frequent for someone seeking to become a king.
"I heard that King Cichen has mastered teleportation, but because he is not familiar with its use, he has not been able to pass the twentieth level. You should know that the difficulty increases as you go further, and the opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Stele becomes more and more difficult," Baffin explained.
Lu Xing nodded, preparing to wait for him at the edge of the square; two or three days wasn't a long time.
Just as I was about to leave, a burst of laughter came from the Tongtian Bridge.
"Hahaha, I finally made it through!"
Soon, a human covered in sharp spikes flew out from the Sky Bridge. True to his name, he was none other than the King of Thorns.
Ignoring everyone else, he teleported directly out of the Tongtian Bridge dimension.
"Now can I go and try it out?" Lu Xing asked.
"Of course," Baffin nodded.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Xing took a step and instantly entered the Tongtian Bridge.
"Please choose your opponent. You can choose a martial artist, a mentalist controller, or a mentalist illusionist. Choose any opponent and defeat them to pass through the first level of the Bridge to Heaven." A voice came from the cloud in front of you.
"A martial artist," Lu Xing said.
Having said that, the mist exhaled a cloud of black liquid, which then condensed into a man wielding a shield and a battle sword. He then spoke in human language, "Let the battle begin!"
With a casual swipe of his sword, the man turned to dust.
At the same time, a vortex appeared, and stepping into it, Lu Xing arrived at the second level of the Sky Bridge.
"Please choose your opponent..."
Then, Lu Xing rushed through the third and fourth floors, all the way to the eighteenth floor, the Sky Bridge, at an extremely fast speed.
The nineteenth floor...
"Defeat me, and you can pass the nineteenth floor!"
The same dark-skinned man as the one on the first floor spoke, his aura emanating from him, bringing a great sense of oppression to this space.
"Kill!" Lu Xing roared, his figure turning into a blur as he charged forward.
The dark-skinned man took a step back, raised his shield to block Lu Xing's blade, and at the same time swung his sword at Lu Xing's head.
Lu Xing dodged the attack by sidestepping, while simultaneously creating distance between them, his eyes fixed intently on him.
The nineteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge is where the person has fully comprehended the three branches of teleportation. Judging from their understanding of the laws alone, the dark-skinned man is superior to Lu Xing.
"Again!"
Through 1800 years of battles in the space, Lu Xing developed a keen sense of observation, enabling him to discover the enemy's weaknesses as the battle progressed.
He was looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the dark-skinned man; the top-tier secret technique, the Fire God Slash, was enough to kill him in one strike.
"Bang!" "Bang!"...
Countless voids were torn apart by the battle between the two.
"This guy is really tough!" Lu Xing gritted his teeth. Every attack was precisely blocked by him, and the dark-skinned man's defense was impenetrable.
"In that case... then I'll wait for you to come find me!"
"Slash!" The dark-skinned man roared, unleashing a secret technique to attack Lu Xing. He couldn't continue defending indefinitely; he had to take the initiative.
"Good timing!"
Lu Xing was delighted. He wasn't afraid of a head-on confrontation, but he was afraid that Lu Xing would keep defending and concentrate all his strength on the blade.
"Die!"
The fiery phantom shattered the dark-skinned man's attack, then tore his body apart.
If it weren't for his exceptional dodging skills, Lu Xing could have ended the battle in an instant.
The gap becomes more pronounced as you progress, and it's rare to find opponents with similar strength. Besides, by then, everyone is smart enough not to fight you if the difference in strength isn't significant.
After the dark-skinned man died, the spatial vortex leading to the twentieth floor opened.
"Let's go and see for ourselves."
Lu Xing stepped into the vortex.
