Chapter 860 Heavenly River
"What's going on... It seems like the Dragon Gate has lost its spiritual energy."
As Lin Fan carried her through the Dragon Gate, Mandala noticed something was amiss and uttered a questioning sound.
"Um... I'm not sure either. Maybe it's because my talent is too strong, which depleted most of its stored energy..."
Lin Fan scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.
"You bastard... those people outside must hate you to death!"
Mandala was somewhat speechless. The Dragon Gate, as an ancient magical artifact, although it only had the function of testing cultivation talent, was still a true sacred object!
After the destruction of the ancient Heavenly Palace, the only way for the Dragon Gate to function is to rely on the energy it originally stored.
Of course, it can also absorb external energy to replenish itself, but this process is extremely long, probably taking at least several thousand or tens of thousands of years!
"Damn it... what's going on?!"
At this moment, the group of geniuses in front of the lantern gate were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, because they discovered that since Lin Fan accepted the assessment, the power of the Dragon Gate seemed to have been exhausted, and it could not give them the assessment and identity certification!
"It must be that kid's fault, he's so awful!"
Many people came to their senses. Lin Fan had just triggered a seven-colored beam of light after entering the Dragon Gate, and then he had hurriedly fled the scene with Mandala. This would easily lead others to make connections!
However, now is not the time to complain. Every second in the ruins is precious, because it is very possible that the treasure will fall into the hands of someone else if things are just a little bit off!
These guys cursed angrily as they leaped into the air to find the other two places to ascend the Dragon Gate!
"In the ancient Heavenly Palace, there are two places where you can obtain great opportunities."
"One is Tianchi, where one can undergo the Heavenly River Baptism, similar to the Great Luo Golden Pool, but with much stronger effects."
"Another place is the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum, where there are many magical treasures and cultivation techniques, and it is very likely that they are left behind by my master..."
As she finished speaking, Mandala's voice gradually lowered, as if a large group of people had invaded her former home, but she was powerless to stop them.
"Let's go to the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum first."
Lin Fan suggested that, in addition to those treasures, the true form of the mandala might also be there, and if someone else got there first, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"No need, this place is very close to Tianchi, there's no need to go far away."
"The things in the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum are not so easy to obtain."
Mandala knew that Lin Fan was thinking of her, but she still made the most rational judgment.
"Ok."
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan stopped insisting and moved forward quickly under the guidance of the mandala.
"The Milky Way is just beyond this spatial portal."
About half an hour later, Lin Fan and Mandala stopped in front of a huge spatial gate.
"Entering here still requires a disciple's token. Although you don't have one, you should be able to sneak in by following me."
As Mandala spoke, she held Lin Fan's hand with her left hand and pressed the golden token against the spatial portal with her right. An entrance immediately appeared in that space, and the opening began to shrink rapidly the instant Mandala stepped inside!
If it were anyone else, they would likely have been blown into a cloud of blood mist by the spatial compression force, but it posed no obstacle to Lin Fan. His powerful body was the best weapon, and he squeezed in by force!
The moment Lin Fan entered the portal, he froze on the spot!
A thin white mist hung in the air, and in the distance stretched a seemingly endless river, its surface shimmering with iridescent, star-like lights both above and in the water.
The riverbanks are lined with towering, mist-shrouded mountains, truly a fairyland on earth!
Before Lin Fan and his group arrived, many people had already reached this place through other entrances. They were all stunned by this fairyland-like scene!
However, many people are quickly blinded by their desires!
"Is this the legendary Milky Way? Such surging energy!"
Some people exclaimed with burning excitement, "If you cultivate in this Heavenly Pool for one day, it's probably equivalent to cultivating in the outside world for one month!"
One of the ninth-rank supreme cultivators couldn't resist the temptation and leaped directly into the Milky Way!
Bang!
However, what happened next was extremely terrifying. The moment the guy entered the river, he was instantly blasted into a pool of blood by the powerful squeezing force, leaving a crimson stain in the river!
hiss!
Those who had been restless on the riverbank were all startled and gasped in shock!
That was a ninth-grade supreme expert, yet he couldn't withstand the impact of the heavenly energy at all!
"The energy here is extremely violent and complex. Even if it can withstand the impact of the Milky Way, it cannot absorb the mottled energy within it."
"Of course, you're an exception, monster."
Now, Mandala knows Lin Fan very well. Not only is his physical strength formidable, but he also possesses many wondrous flames within him, which are fully capable of refining those mottled energies.
"Let's go deeper into the Milky Way."
"The Heavenly River Baptism is also divided into levels. To receive the highest level of baptism, you must collect 100 Heavenly River Spirits."
Mandala spoke.
"The Spirit of the Milky Way? What is that?!"
Lin Fan asked doubtfully.
"That's the one."
Mandala's little finger pointed to the star-like clusters of light floating above the river.
"Let's go."
As soon as the voice fell, Mandala took out the golden token that had been certified through the Dragon Gate, pinched it between two fingers, and flicked it forward!
Buzz!
The token suddenly expanded in the wind, transforming into something resembling a small golden boat. She pulled Lin Fan onto it steadily, and as they sailed deeper into the Milky Way, they began collecting the spirit of the Milky Way!
"I never imagined this token would be so useful!"
Lin Fan clicked his tongue in amazement. The ancient Heavenly Palace, a sect with an ancient heritage, had a complete system for recruiting disciples and conducting assessments, which was far superior to his Dragon Domain!
However, these are not things he, as a hands-off manager, needs to worry about. Now that Mandala's memories are gradually returning, he can leave everything to her.
Seeing Mandala's actions, the others followed suit, throwing out their tokens. One after another, small boats of various colors appeared, sailing like a fleet towards the deeper part of the Milky Way!
However, there are some unlucky ones. After the token transforms into a small boat, it needs the spiritual power in the body to support it. The higher the level of the token, the stronger the protective shield it forms, and the less spiritual power it consumes!
Several disciples who had only obtained the Black Iron level certification ran out of spiritual energy after making little progress in the river. Their small boats turned into tokens again, and amidst screams, they turned into blood, just like the previous person!
Faced with this situation, some people gradually came to their senses and hurriedly steered their small boats to shore, no longer daring to enter the Milky Way!
Throughout history, rare treasures have belonged to the capable, while those who lack ability but try to show off will only end up losing their lives!
