450: The Road to Heaven!

"What?"

"Lin Chen, are you joking?"

The expressions of the several Human Race Ancestor Realm experts were extremely exaggerated.

Fortunately, Lin Chen had spoken those words through true spirit transmission.

After all, he was also worried about being discovered by the Guixu Clan.

Gu was the first to react, giving a meaningful look to both Hao and Ling.

The three then joined forces to construct a protective barrier capable of shielding all perception.

Now, they didn't have to fear outsiders knowing what they were discussing.

"Lin Chen, tell us in detail."

"This is a matter of great importance; our Human Race might very well escape the crisis of endless epochs because of this!"

Gu said with a solemn expression.

The other Ancestor Realm experts also looked toward Lin Chen with anticipation.

Lin Chen had already prepared his explanation.

Opening the Six-Dimensional World passage required ten trillion crystals of energy, and he currently only had over five trillion.

It would be difficult to obtain that many Energy Points in a short period of time.

Now, only these Human Race Ancestor Realm experts could help him!

"Seniors, I once came across a fortuitous encounter."

"That encounter allowed me to master a passage connected to the Six-Dimensional World."

"However, opening the passage requires a massive amount of energy. I need your help!"

Lin Chen didn't specify what the encounter was; he directly stated his needs without beating around the bush.

After all, time was pressing; who knew when the Guixu Progenitor would return... Hearing this, the several Ancestor Realm experts fell into deep thought.

A fortuitous encounter?

They naturally knew that a Prodigy like Lin Chen must have significant Opportunity.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to reach the Ancestor Realm level in just over a decade!

They were also tactful enough not to ask specifically what that encounter was... After a long while, Gu smiled and said:

"Lin Chen, tell us what you need. As long as we can open the passage, we're willing to pay any price, no matter how high!"

"Right! Lin Chen, we trust you. Don't keep us in suspense, kid."

Lu had an impatient temperament, and he spoke with an eager look in his eyes.

The other Ancestor Realm experts also spoke up one after another.

"The Six-Dimensional World... to us, that is a place of legend. Only by going there can our cultivation possibly take that next step..."

"As far as I know, to go to the Six-Dimensional World, one must challenge a heaven-reaching path. Failure results in death... The Guixu Progenitor must have succeeded in that challenge..."

At this moment, Hao spoke with a look of reminiscence.

The heaven-reaching path?

Everyone, including the other Ancestor Realm experts, looked at Hao with confusion.

Hao sighed softly and said:

"My future self is able to walk through countless timeline branches."

"My future self once set foot on that heaven-reaching path..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone, including Lin Chen, was filled with shock.

Lin Chen hadn't expected that Hao had already come into contact with that level!

"Hao, why haven't I heard you mention this? You actually kept such a secret to yourself... Quick, tell us where that heaven-reaching path is, I'll go try it."

The ever-combative Lu couldn't help himself and hurriedly began to inquire.

Hao sighed again and said:

"None of you can make it through. Among us... only Lin Chen might have a chance to pass the heaven-reaching path in the future!"

"What?"

"Hao, what's the deal with that heaven-reaching path... even you were discouraged to this extent?"

"Hao, you're really killing us with suspense, just say it!"

The several Ancestor Realm experts all showed looks of longing.

Especially Lu and Jun, both of whom were battle maniacs.

The two of them had been stuck at the ninth-level Peak Ancestor Realm for too long... their cultivation hadn't advanced an inch for countless epochs... "The heaven-reaching path is outside the Five-Dimensional World!"

"As you know, to leave this Five-Dimensional World, one must shatter the dimensional crystal wall of the Tenth Layer Spacetime."

"But even with our combined strength, we couldn't budge it in the slightest, let alone leave this Five-Dimensional World."

"When my future self walked through countless timelines, I discovered a pattern."

"That is, every million epochs, the dimensional crystal wall has a period of weakness. That Clone of mine used the Spear of Time and Space to barely blast a gap in the dimensional crystal wall."

"I thus left the Five-Dimensional World through that gap and reached the outside!"

"Outside the Five-Dimensional World is a void; there isn't a trace of energy in the emptiness."

"Fortunately, my spatial abilities still worked. I continuously performed spatial shifts outward for several months... Finally, I saw a vortex passage emitting endless power."

"The passage was so large it exceeded a trillion light-years. That passage seemed to contain an endless magic; I couldn't help myself and stepped right into it..."

Speaking to this point, a flash of trepidation crossed Hao's eyes, as if something terrifying had happened after entering the passage.

After a moment of silence, he continued:

"At that time, I wasn't sure if that passage was the so-called heaven-reaching path."

"After entering, I saw countless races, beyond counting... they were all at the Peak Ancestor Realm!"

"Through inquiry, I learned many secrets!"

"It turns out that passage connects countless Five-Dimensional Worlds!"

"As long as you step into the passage, you will be teleported there..."

"Shortly after, a terrifying existence appeared within the passage, claiming to be the Messenger of the Path to Heaven."

"The Messenger said there is a heaven-reaching path ahead, and by clearing it, one can enter the Six-Dimensional World."

"The Six-Dimensional World is the highest known Dimensional World; only by entering it can one hope to reach beyond the Ancestor Realm..."

"Next, we began to challenge that heaven-reaching path one by one."

"The opponents on the heaven-reaching path are countless Ancestor Realm beings!"

"In our batch of beings challenging the heaven-reaching path, there were over 100 million Ancestor Realms, and out of those 100 million... only 10,000 could pass the challenge!"

"That future self of mine ultimately fell on the heaven-reaching path..."

After Hao finished speaking, his eyes were filled with wariness.

Clearly, that experience on the heaven-reaching path had been a huge blow to him.

"Through that heaven-reaching path, I witnessed too many truly peerless prodigies... with my level of strength, I was far too unremarkable..."

At this time, the other Ancestor Realm experts were also full of shock and doubt.

If even Hao couldn't make it through, what about them?

Then they suddenly thought of the Guixu Progenitor. Did the Guixu Progenitor really rely on his own strength to clear the heaven-reaching path?

That was over a hundred million Peak Ancestor Realms!

And they were Ancestor Realms capable of breaking dimensional crystal walls!

Instantly, the group felt immense pressure.

They also understood why Hao hadn't brought this up before.

Because the hope of going to the Six-Dimensional World via the heaven-reaching path was too slim... At the same time, they were also very curious about that Messenger.

Why limit the beings of the Five-Dimensional World from going to the Six-Dimensional World?

In a million epochs, across countless Five-Dimensional Worlds, there were only 10,000 slots... this ratio was far too low... The Human Race Ancestor Realm experts were silent for a long time before they recovered.

At this point, they all looked toward Lin Chen.

"Lin Chen, is the dimensional passage you mentioned this heaven-reaching path?"

"This heaven-reaching path is too insane..."

"Right, even Hao couldn't clear it. It's truly unimaginable what kind of combat power is needed to secure a slot..."

Lin Chen smiled faintly upon hearing this and said:

"Seniors, the Six-Dimensional World passage I know of only requires ten trillion origin profound crystals, or the equivalent energy, to open!"
