Standing above the rift valley, the golden gate, engraved with ancient runes, slowly opened, and at the same time, a cold and majestic voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
"To enter the Seventh Heavenly Gate, you need 999 Nine Heavens Tokens!"
Everyone was stunned when they first heard the voice.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine Nine Heavens Tokens?
Are you kidding me!
It should be noted that the sixth Heavenly Gate only requires ninety-nine Nine Heavenly Tokens. In everyone's expectations, even if the seventh Heavenly Gate is a hurdle, it would only require a maximum of three to five hundred Nine Heavenly Tokens.
No one expected that the number would be nearly a thousand!
What's even more outrageous is that, unlike other heavens where you are given a heads-up beforehand, in these six heavens, you are only told how many Nine Heavens Tokens you need to enter when the Heavenly Gate opens.
After a moment of surprise, many people quickly began counting the Nine Heavens Tokens in their hands.
"I only have two hundred and thirty yuan, what am I going to do!"
"I'm not much better off, only a little over three hundred..."
"I'm better than all of you, I'm close to six hundred, but where are we going to find the remaining four hundred?"
"You should be content. I've been running for my life ever since I entered the sixth heaven. I haven't had time to collect the Nine Heavens Tokens at all. I only have one hundred and three now!"
After counting the number of Nine Heavens Tokens they had, most people let out a wail.
Most importantly, after the Seven Heavenly Gates opened, all eight passageways in the rift valley were closed. Although this prevented the three-colored giants from entering, it also sealed them inside the canyon.
The canyon is surrounded by mountain walls hundreds of meters high, which are not only incredibly smooth with no foothold, but more importantly, they are also protected by array formations. Unless they can fly directly through the air like Shan Hai, they have no way to leave this rift valley.
But then everyone suddenly realized something and with a "whoosh," they turned their gaze to the remaining tri-colored giants in the rift valley.
The sound of air being torn apart was constant. The three-colored giants, which everyone used to avoid, became highly sought after at this moment, and many people even started to quarrel over ownership.
"So, while the previous wave of three-colored giants was a test, it was also a final opportunity to replenish the Nine Heavens Decree..."
Many people suddenly realized this and felt a pang of regret.
This is especially true for those powerful warriors from the Mountain and Sea Realms who don't have enough Nine Heavens Tokens. While other warriors can only passively defend, they have the opportunity to kill more three-colored giants.
It's a pity that it's too late to find out now.
After the passageway closed, there were only a few dozen tri-colored giants still wandering in the rift. Even if they were all killed, they would only drop eight or nine hundred Heavenly Tokens. Moreover, at this moment, there were already more than two hundred martial artists waiting to enter the Seventh Heavenly Gate in the rift.
Even if those with the strength of Mountain and Sea Realm experts have a greater advantage in the competition, don't forget that there are quite a few Mountain and Sea Realm experts present.
There are more than twenty people here on the Eighth Heaven Ranking alone.
After a few minutes of chaos and scrambling, not a single tri-colored giant could be seen in the entire rift valley, and all the remaining Nine Heavens Tokens on the ground were swept away.
It wasn't actually completely empty.
Where the passageway extends due south, large swathes of the Nine Heavens Decree are scattered on the ground along a vertical line, radiating an eye-catching, shimmering light.
Those were the Nine Heavens Tokens dropped by hundreds of tri-colored giants, numbering in the thousands.
But... all the martial artists present seemed to be blind, staring straight ahead at this area, and not even making a move to approach it, as if they were afraid of causing some kind of misunderstanding.
Many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief only after Zhao Keyi and others from Jiangzhong Military Force came down from the high platform and began to tidy up.
Finally, I no longer have to endure the torment of this temptation.
Qu Bai and Shen Qian stood side by side on the stone pillar, watching all of this, both of them speechless for a moment.
"Before sinking, I..."
After a long silence, Qu Bai finally spoke.
"Senior, you don't need to explain anything to me."
Shen Qian seemed to have already guessed what he wanted to say and interrupted him directly: "I may not fully understand, but I know that you must have your reasons."
Before Shen Qian appeared, Qu Bai could only watch helplessly as Consort Ning abused Ding Yi and the others.
It wouldn't be entirely true that Shen Qian had no complaints at all. After all, in his view, Qu Bai was fully capable of stopping Ning Zhaoyi and had the confidence to overturn the table.
Among the ten people on the Nine Heavens Ranking, apart from Lin Sanmo, if there is anyone else that Shen Qian can't quite figure out, it would probably be Qu Bai.
The two had known each other for more than half a year, but Shen Qian had never seen Qu Bai use his full strength.
But if you think about it from another perspective, when Jiangzhong Military was first established, although he was the national martial arts champion, he had not yet grown up in the eyes of the military leaders. So who should support the top combat power of Jiangzhong Military?
Neither Feng Manlin nor Niu Ziguo held much weight in Shen Qian's eyes.
This is Jiangzhong Military Equipment!
This was once the top-tier martial arts academy in the country.
As the established key figure, how could Qu Bai be weak?
I actually envy you.
Qu Bai gave a self-deprecating laugh, his gaze becoming somewhat distant. "I was born an orphan. An old soldier from the military adopted me from the orphanage. I grew up in the army. Just as I was beginning to show my extraordinary talent, I was taken away by the special sequence of the military."
"I have spent most of my life so far in camps."
"I know I'm a genius, and probably, the absolute best... Hey, Shenqian, do you know that when I broke through the Mountain and Sea Realm, I was still three months shy of turning seventeen..."
