Chapter 536 The Battle to Ascend to Heaven
"Hello, Master, welcome to the virtual world."
"I am your virtual butler, Yuanbao."
As the soft, cute voice faded, a cartoon dog with two tails appeared in mid-air. Its head and body were in 1:1 proportion, with white fur all over its body and an anthropomorphic expression in its eyes, seemingly very happy about Xiao Weiqing's arrival.
"Hello, what's going on?"
"Is this what the virtual world is like?"
Yuanbao said, "Yes, this is your private space. You need to create an account first before you can unlock other sections."
Xiao Weiqing raised an eyebrow. "It's a bit like playing a game."
"Yeah, pretty much."
"What should I do?"
"Yuanbao can handle everything for you, but it requires your authorization, Master."
"Okay, I'll authorize you."
"Yes, Master, please wait a moment."
Yuanbao stood upright in mid-air, its front paws tapping the air repeatedly, and then the surroundings began to change.
Turf grew on the sandy ground, and a dozen saplings sprouted from the soil around the perimeter, growing into large trees in the blink of an eye.
"Master, what are your needs regarding the house?"
With a wave of his hand, Yuanbao sent hundreds of buildings flashing by, including villas, castles, manors, and even palaces.
"Let's go with a villa, something simple."
"Yes, Master. Build a modern, minimalist villa based on the architectural style of your home planet, Blue Star."
It only takes a few seconds.
A five-story villa appeared, as if it had been 3D printed.
The villa is surrounded by an iron fence, and the yard covers 100,000 square meters. Several tables and chairs have also been added.
Xiao Weiqing walked closer and touched it. The tactile sensation was exactly the same as in the real world, and even the smell of the grass was exactly the same as in the real world.
"It's truly amazing."
"Master is ready."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome, it's all Yuanbao's duty."
Xiao Weiqing pointed outside the courtyard.
"Yuanbao, why is there such a fog outside?"
Centered on the courtyard, within a radius of ten kilometers, the original sandy land has been turned into grassland, but beyond ten kilometers, it is still sandy land, and further away, it is shrouded in mist and cannot be seen clearly.
"Master, with your current fourth-level authority, your private territory in the virtual world is only ten kilometers in radius. If you want to increase your territory, you either need to upgrade your authority or spend credits to create additional space."
"All right."
Xiao Weiqing sensed a strong aura of pay-to-win, no, to be precise, it was about getting you to spend money on academic credits.
"What should I do next?"
"You need to build a teleportation array to establish connections with other places in the virtual world."
"You need to operate this yourself on the identity chip; Yuanbao cannot do it for you."
With a flick of his wrist, Xiao Weiqing produced a red chip that projected a screen in front of him. After his identity was activated, several new modules appeared.
One of them is a teleportation array.
Xiao Weiqing immediately clicked to create.
A circular teleportation array with a diameter of three zhang immediately appeared in the courtyard. The array was engraved with mysterious runes and glowed faintly.
"Where can this teleportation array take you?"
Yuanbao replied, "Theoretically, you can teleport anywhere, but you need permission from the destination, except for your home planet, Blue Star."
"The virtual world of your home planet Blue Star is under construction. Once it is completed, you can return to Blue Star via the teleportation array."
Xiao Weiqing nodded slightly; he had heard Adrian mention this before.
"By the way, Yuanbao, do you know about the Heavenly Ascension Battle in three days?"
"Of course, Master, even if you hadn't asked, I would have told you."
With a wave of his hand, Yuanbao conjured up a phantom image of the Cloud Ruins Holy Land.
The fourth level of heaven expanded rapidly under Yuanbao's manipulation.
Xiao Weiqing finally saw the appearance of the Holy Land clearly. From light-years away, the Cloud Ruins Holy Land did indeed look like a mountain.
However, upon closer inspection, the so-called Four Heavens of the Holy Land is actually a huge ring-shaped continent surrounding the main body of the Cloud Ruins Holy Land.
The side length of this ring-shaped continent is incalculable, and its inner and outer diameters are also extremely large, tens or even hundreds of times larger than the diameter of a planet.
Because the planets revolving around the Holy Land appear so insignificant.
"Master, please look, this is the Ascension Arena," Yuanbao said, pointing to a spot on the ring-shaped continent.
There floats a huge arena there, estimated to be at least ten kilometers in diameter.
Three days later.
"300 Star Lords are here to challenge the members of the Fourth Heaven; the winners will advance to the next stage."
"A member of the Fourth Heaven?"
"That's right."
"Last year's?"
Yuanbao shook his head. "No, or rather, both are possible. Your opponent's strength is in the middle range of the fourth heaven, around 15,000th place, which has nothing to do with the number of years they have been in the Holy Land."
"In other words, there are 30,000 star lords in the Fourth Heaven," Xiao Weiqing said.
"Yes."
"And then what?"
"After winning, you will receive your opponent's ranking and enter the battle for ascension."
What is the Battle of Ascension to Heaven?
"Challenge members whose strength ranks in the top 500 of the Fourth Heaven. If you win, you will ascend to the Fifth Heaven; if you lose, you will remain in the Fourth Heaven, and your ascension will end."
Xiao Weiqing understood. "So, is the fifth level the same?"
"The process is the same: first challenge the mid-level members of the fifth level," Yuanbao continued. "The number of people in the fifth level is only one-tenth of that in the fourth level. If you want to reach the sixth level, you need to challenge the top fifty members."
"in addition."
"Because the number of people who can enter the sixth heaven each year is limited, if more than five of the 300 star lords in this year's competition successfully enter the sixth heaven, then an additional arena competition will be needed to eliminate the rest."
"Only five spots in the Sixth Heaven?" Xiao Weiqing's pupils shrank; this was far fewer than he had imagined.
"Yes, Master."
"Currently, there are only 232 people in the Sixth Heaven, and each spot is extremely precious."
"What about the Seventh Heaven?"
"Huh?" Yuanbao was taken aback.
Xiao Weiqing asked again, "What about the Seventh Heaven?"
"How many spots? Two or one?"
Yuanbao blinked and replied, "Master, there are no spots available in the Seventh Heaven."
"No spots available?"
"Yes."
"There are a total of 23 Star Lords in the Seven Heavens. Although their cultivation level is still at the Star Lord level, they all have the combat power of the Sovereign level."
"Those people are either highly skilled in martial arts, powerful in their own domain, or possess a special physique that makes them physically invincible."
"In short, every member of the Seven Heavens is a genius that appears only once in a thousand years."
"To enter the Seventh Heaven, one must be assessed by the Holy Land; it's not something that can be achieved simply by passing a regular test or defeating a member of the Sixth Heaven."
Xiao Weiqing murmured, "I see."
"Yes, yes, if the number one star lord in the sixth heaven does not meet the requirements, he cannot enter the seventh heaven. In fact, no star lord has entered the seventh heaven for 23 years."
"23."
Xiao Weiqing silently recited the number.
The Fifth Universe Civilization, throughout the entire Southern Region, boasts countless powerful civilizations and geniuses as numerous as the stars. Yet, for a full 23 years, no Star Lord has reached the Seventh Heaven, which speaks volumes about the immense difficulty involved.
