Chapter 1536: Wheel of the World

Chapter 1536: Chapter 1536: Wheel of the World

The ancient tree exudes a sense of timelessness, a breath of traversed ages.

Every leaf is adorned with the symbols of Heavenly Dao.

Yang Yan observed carefully for a while, a look of surprise emerging in his eyes.

Because he discovered something beneath the leaves.

He hurriedly used the Celestial Eye to see more clearly.

But as his golden eyes focused on the tree of the Heavenly Dao Stele, a sudden stabbing pain occurred, causing Yang Yan to cry out and his body to slightly sway.

"Are you alright?" Fu Xi quickly asked upon witnessing this.

Yang Yan rubbed his eyes and gestured to Fu Xi to indicate he was fine and not to worry.

Although Yang Yan’s eyes were accidentally burned, he could still see clearly.

Beneath the leaves was a wooden plaque tied with a red string, inscribed with names that once appeared on the Celestial Pride Stele.

Among them was Yang Yan’s name.

Not only that, he also found the names of Void-Devouring Tiger and Ao Tian prominently visible.

Even Jian Mingyin’s name was there.

While Yang Yan was deep in thought, Fu Xi’s voice rang beside his ear, "The Celestial Pride Stele not only records those with high talent in the universe but also selects the Heavenly Dao’s successor for this era."

"Heavenly Dao’s successor."

Yang Yan murmured once more, then continued to ask, "How is it selected?"

He had a premonition that this might be another bloody storm.

Perhaps this was the very root cause of the so-called catastrophe of heaven and earth.

Fu Xi spoke with an excited expression, "Only the strongest can possess the Heavenly Dao, so the method is singular: battle, until everyone is defeated, leaving only one."

After a pause, Fu Xi continued, "Gather all the universe’s talents and send them to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, where the strongest will be selected to inherit the Heavenly Dao, oversee everything, and become the supreme god."

"Hahaha! No need to even look; that person must be Master Hu, without a doubt."

At this moment, a rough voice rang out.

The newcomers were none other than Void-Devouring Tiger and Ao Tian.

Like Yang Yan, they had heard the call of the Celestial Pride Stele in their hearts.

So they came intending to discuss the Celestial Pride Stele with Yang Yan, planning to enter and compete together, vying for the Heavenly Dao’s succession.

Fu Xi heard Void-Devouring Tiger’s words and helplessly shook his head.

He smiled and asked, "You kitty, what’s your ranking on the Celestial Pride?"

"Number nine hundred ninety!"

Void-Devouring Tiger said with a proud expression.

Clearly, this fellow was quite satisfied with his ranking.

Though reluctant to dampen Void-Devouring Tiger’s spirits, Fu Xi couldn’t help but chuckle, thinking it better to say it.

He lightly coughed twice, speaking indifferently, "You’re only ranked in this Beidou Star Realm."

Simultaneously, Fu Xi gestured with six fingers, "Across the universe’s six major cultivation star realms, we are just one of them. The Celestial Pride Stele gathers talents from all universal star realms. You still have a long way to go!"

Void-Devouring Tiger and Ao Tian were left a bit stunned.

Upon hearing Fu Xi’s words, they finally understood the real situation.

In Light Sin State alone, only fifteen thousand could enter the Celestial Pride Stele, now competing with people from all six star realms.

They couldn’t help but feel a bit intimidated.

Upon hearing this, Yang Yan felt an upsurge of towering ambition.

Talented elites from ten thousand races vying for Heavenly Dao and the achievement of a True God - what an event!

Yang Yan thought to himself:

Come, let us see who shall reign supreme in this world!

It’s not that Yang Yan greedily seeks power, but he clearly understands that whoever grasps the Heavenly Dao possesses absolute authority.

If he were to control Heavenly Dao, he would certainly restrict the ten thousand races, fostering peaceful coexistence.

Should anyone dare disrupt peace, he would directly use Heavenly Dao’s will to eliminate them.

Though such thoughts seem romantic, they reflect his true desires.

Seemingly understanding Yang Yan’s thoughts, Fu Xi nodded, feeling pleased, "Such ambition! I believe in you. I’ll await your victorious return to bring peace to the universe, perhaps erasing the so-called catastrophe of heaven and earth..."

Yang Yan nodded firmly at Fu Xi, prepared to set off, yet Fu Xi stopped him.

He asked, "Where are you going?"

"To the Celestial Pride Stele! I’m heading to the Ancient Battlefield." Yang Yan looked at Fu Xi, puzzled.

Others nodded as well, evidently sharing the same intention.

Everyone standing knew well that Fu Xi must have something special to convey.

Fu Xi shook his head, stating, "It’s not as simple as you think. Entering the Ancient Battlefield requires obtaining qualification, which is gained by moving the Wheel of the World."

"Enough, don’t ask me about the Wheel of the World. Hurry up, lest someone beats you to it." Fu Xi advised.

Yang Yan immediately led the group, following Fu Xi’s guidance, swiftly heading to the location of the Wheel of the World.

His so-called Wheel of the World was situated within a vast gorge.

The area was lush and serene, rich in Spiritual Qi, shrouded in mist, indeed an exceptional sacred practice site.

Venturing deeper, Yang Yan and his companions were met by a narrow canyon.

Through the thick mist, Yang Yan could finally discern the scene at the canyon center.

There, a colossal object made of bronze, resembling a millstone, stood.

Countless patterns adorned it, encircled by a heavy handle.

"Alright, move it, and you’ll earn qualification." Fu Xi nodded towards them.

Void-Devouring Tiger and Ao Tian exchanged glances, eyes gleaming brightly.

Could it be so simple?

They must hurry to try it.

After all, the qualifications are limited, and it’s first come, first served!

No denying, they share tiger blood, their temper truly strikingly similar.

Perhaps it’s due to this reason, despite being overly proud, they get along famously.

Especially in recent years, they’ve become inseparable brothers.

Of course, comparatively speaking, Void-Devouring Tiger’s character is even less steady than Ao Tian’s.

It jumped in front of Ao Tian, its tiger leap reaching the Wheel’s handle, with its paw resting on top.

Roaring loudly, Void-Devouring Tiger suddenly transformed into a hulking, muscular figure, mobilizing all its muscles vigorously, Blood Qi surged with heavenly power.

"Rise!"

It shouted decisively, trying to move the Wheel of the World.

However, despite Void-Devouring Tiger’s utmost effort, its cheeks reddening akin to a monkey’s, the Wheel of the World remained utterly unmoved.
