Chapter 469: Illusory Checkpoint

“We welcome you with open arms, esteemed guest. This place is the Starry Heaven Reaching Pagoda. I’m Alice, your guide for today. Next, I will handle all matters in the pagoda for you, and you can ask me any question as well…”

The path beneath his feet was paved by alloy metals and was incomparably flat. His surroundings were filled with gold and jade, brimming with a scientific feel. And even the wall was filled with tech-cannons and gigantic killing machines. These cannons were like the most loyal guards in charge of protecting the Heaven Reaching Pagoda.

And as he followed the guards into the gate, an extremely beautiful woman waved at him from afar, moving toward him. She was 1.8 meters tall and had long legs that were as fair as snow, drawing the attention of everyone. Her figure and face were perfect, in line with the golden ratio. She was so beautiful that she seemed to be a sculpture, resembling a goddess from Greek mythology.

She was simply so beautiful to the extent that she didn’t seem like a real human.

Feng Lin wasn’t shocked. His spirit force swept out and instantly discovered traces of genetic modification in the body of this young woman.

Humans were evolved from apes and monkeys. Inside their bodies, there were simply too many damaged and trash genes which led to people having congenital diseases or a higher likelihood to suffer from some illnesses. And in the Interstellar Era, through genetic modification technology, the genes in one’s body could be perfected. The trash and damaged genes could be completely removed and the people who underwent genetic modification would no longer suffer from congenital diseases.

However, when mythological genes were in their unawakened states, no one knew what their exact effects were; they were basically useless before awakening and extremely similar to damaged genes.

When the damaged and ‘trash’ genes were removed, the mythological genes in their sleeping states might be removed as well, causing the person who underwent the operation to not be able to cultivate in the future.

To sum it up, after the genetic modification, they would usually lose all possibilities to cultivate.

With flaws, it meant boundless possibilities.

Perfection meant that there was no longer any room for any improvements.

After knowing Feng Lin’s origins, the pagoda instantly sent out someone to receive him instead of just using an illusory avatar. The standard of treatment was extremely good.

“Alice, give me an introduction about the Heaven Reaching Pagoda, ” said Feng Lin calmly, he didn’t feel surprised.

“I will comply with your order.” Alice smiled. “The Starry Heaven Reaching Pagoda is ten thousand levels high. Each level is an independent world that contains cultivation, life, and entertainment; it is multi-functional and is sufficient to allow a person to spend their entire lives there forever. Each of the ten thousand levels is different, the higher the level, the more expensive the costs would be! The worlds within the pagoda are purely formed for cultivators. Thus, mortals can only be the serving class. Only cultivators have the freedom to do as they please in the pagoda, but the prerequisite is that you can pay enough star coins to jump across levels or pay enough pagoda points…”

As a genetically modified human, Alice’s intelligence was also strengthened. She immediately listed out the information about the pagoda to Feng Lin.

Feng Lin linked his id microchip directly to the Heaven Reaching Pagoda, and all sorts of valuable items appeared in his vision. There were meteoric gold from black stars, rainbow light from black holes of the Milky Way Galaxy, Ice Whale Oil from Viking Planet—all sorts of rare items from all corners of the universe could be found here.

He nodded silently. These items were considered pretty complete and seemed comparable to the stores of Great Wall University.

To him, this wasn’t considered much. But to the unaffiliated cultivators struggling to survive in the universe, the attraction was immense.

“I wonder if esteemed customer is here for a tour or to participate in the level-clearing battles?” asked Alice.

“I came from the Great Wall University and am naturally here to temper myself.”

Alice was also a smart person, she soon understood his meaning.

Although the Heaven Reaching Pagoda had many resources, the resources truly didn’t hold too much attraction for a cultivator from the Great Wall University.

“Is this another powerful warrior who wishes to pass the tests of the Heaven Reaching Pagoda to train himself?” she mumbled softly.

She then spoke again. “In that case, if esteemed guest wishes to participate in clearing the levels, there are two options you can choose. The first option is that you can start from the bottom level and clear the levels one by one. By doing so, each level you passed would net you the rewards for clearing them. The second option is to undergo a test in the illusory checkpoint of the Heaven Reaching Pagoda. It will gauge your combat strength and let you jump levels!”

“The second option.” Feng Lin didn’t need to consider it. Three months were his limit, and he couldn’t afford any delays.

Feng Lin couldn’t care less about these tiny profits.

If he broke through each level one by one starting from the bottom, how much time would he need?

“Since this is the case, please follow me.” Alice smiled, leading Feng Lin onwards. She walked beside him and spoke, “There’s a judging criterion in the pagoda that determines one’s grade via their combat strength. The criterion doesn’t solely depend on the level of one’s cultivation base.”

“Oh.” Feng Lin declined to comment.

Very soon, they entered a sealed room. It resembled a huge public square and was extremely spacious. From its appearance, it actually looked like a large-scale coliseum.

“This place is the illusory checkpoint. The data of powerful cultivators who came to challenge the pagoda through history has been recorded, and the illusions created will be based on them. According to your info, you are at the adept level. Hence, the A.I. will automatically adjust the ‘bosses’ you fight to have the cultivation base at the initial-phase of the adept realm. The more opponents you defeated, the more levels you can skip in the pagoda later. Next, please unleash your attacks, the Heaven Reaching Pagoda’s A.I. will determine and gauge your combat strength from your attacks,” explained Alice as she activated the mechanisms of this place.

“Bosses?” Feng Lin licked his lips, feeling excited.

Since the pagoda had ten thousand levels, it meant that there would be ten thousand ‘bosses’. If he wanted to pass each level, he needed to have combat strength at the elite adept level at the very least.

Bosses themselves were originally invincible existences among their peers. Even if their combat strength would be restricted to the adept realm, they wouldn’t be opponents that were easily defeated.

If that was the case, this illusory checkpoint should be interesting!

…

A light sound rang out.

The space in the illusory checkpoint was dark, but it suddenly flashed with bright light for a moment. A ball of energy gathered before his eyes, turning into a real human silhouette.

It was a sturdy middle-aged man with scars on his face. The scars seemed to be left behind by some wild beasts and damaged his appearance. He looked extremely terrifying.

The moment he saw Feng Lin, he didn’t say anything. At the next instant, he was like an incomparably savage beast, pouncing over and his eyes brimming with killing intent.

In truth, his aura simply resembled a beast’s. His body rapidly transformed and truly became a ferocious white tiger with a horned bone helmet. He bared his fangs and brandished his sharp claws, wanting to tear the enemy before him into pieces.

“Tiger God Kaido. White Tiger Mythological Path, able to transform into a mythological white tiger, his killing intent fills the sky…”

“Interesting, the White Tiger Mythological Path!” Feng Lin’s lips widened into a smile again.

This illusory checkpoint gave him such a huge surprise the moment he entered.

Transforming into a white tiger?

Staring at the gorgeous white tiger that was pouncing over, Feng Lin smiled. He didn’t dodge at all. He activated his Sun Wukong Gene, and his body transformed rapidly into a golden-furred stone monkey as he faced the charge directly.
