Chapter 303: 303: Star List

Having not seen Xiao Nuan for a few days, the little fellow had clearly grown a bit and was now about the same size as a park wolfhound. However, it still looked much better than those dogs.

Its mane on its head looked like a burning flame, with a golden glow flowing all over its body. Its smooth muscle lines and long tail wagged back and forth upon seeing Lin Zhen, stirring up dust on the ground.

Lin Zhen rubbed Xiao Nuan’s big head: “Xiao Nuan, you’ve grown quite a bit. Have you been eating people these past few days?”

Xiao Nuan shook its big head indicating no and rubbed its mane on Lin Zhen’s face.

“Alright, let’s go now, I’ll take you to have a big meal.”

With that said, Lin Zhen spread out his Lightning Wings, flapped them once, and headed straight to the second layer.

Xiao Nuan still followed closely ahead and behind Lin Zhen, running in circles even faster than him using his Lightning Wings.

Lin Zhen ignored the incredibly fast running speed of his pet, so as not to be too discouraged.

Despite not running as fast as Xiao Nuan, as Lin Zhen soared through the sky of the first layer of the Ancient God City, those War God-level and quasi-Star Realm-level people still marveled at him.

Lin Zhen had become very famous in the Ancient God City and had even become the object of admiration for these War Gods and quasi-Star Realm people.

A Winged Dragon flew by with its mouth wide open, trying to swallow Lin Zhen. In an instant, Lin Zhen teleported above and stabbed its brain open with a lightning spear, extracting the crystal.

Xiao Nuan, on the other hand, followed behind with its big mouth biting the Winged Dragon’s body, flying with the massive creature in its mouth, finishing it off in less than a minute, leaving no bones behind.

Without walking on the ground, Lin Zhen quickly arrived at the entrance to the second layer.

“Whew! Finally, I’m going to enter this time and see what the second layer is like!”

Lin Zhen had a clear plan for his journey in the Ancient God City. His purpose for coming here was to go to the third layer and obtain high-level Mutated Beast Earth element crystal.

Although he already had a Planet Core of Earth element, this core was different from the previous two. The deepest part of it contained a strong black hole aura, which Lin Zhen was hesitant to attempt to absorb recklessly.

So he thought about it and decided to get the Earth element crystal first. He would study the Planet Core more carefully in the meantime.

Arriving at the entrance of the second layer, Lin Zhen pushed open the hatch, creating a small gap.

With another push, it was wide enough for a person to pass through. Lin Zhen flashed in, followed by Xiao Nuan.

Standing on the ground of the second layer, Lin Zhen stared blankly at the surroundings.

Lin Zhen thought the entrance to the second layer should be in a corner, but the surrounding view astonished him.

The second layer was actually a void, and beneath his feet was a planet!

The planet didn’t seem very big, and its curvature could be seen on the horizon within his line of sight.

The location he was in was filled with beautiful flowers and plants, with fresh air as if it were a paradise.

Looking to the left, he could see the silvery white snow-capped mountains in the distance, which was the Ice Area, the South Pole of this planet.

Looking to the right, he could see erupting volcanoes, which was the Fierce Fire Area, the North Pole of this planet.

Overall, the planet was divided into three parts. The central part was like an equatorial region, with a pleasant climate suitable for living.

The two poles, South and North, were two extremes. To get to the third layer, one had to travel through these two poles.

The surrounding void was like the night sky, with no visible boundaries.

Lin Zhen first tried to fly up, but after rising less than 30 meters, a tremendous pressure from above enveloped him, making flying difficult, so he had to land.

“The legend turns out to be true. The second layer has a no-fly zone, especially in the South and North Pole areas. Flying is like courting death. To get to the third layer, one must walk step by step.”

With his Ice Elemental Star Artifact, Lin Zhen planned to head in the direction of the North Pole so as to enter the third layer from the extreme point of the North Pole.

However, he didn’t immediately rush to venture through the South and North Poles. Instead, he walked along the central region first, attempting to learn more about this unknown world.

After walking for a while, he saw a person.

TWenty meters ahead, a man was sitting on a large rock, with wine and dishes in front of him, enjoying a drink.

When he saw this person, Lin Zhen’s eyes lit up.

“Dongfang Pavilion Master!”

“Lin Zhen!”

Lin Zhen happily ran over, and the person before him was none other than Dongfang Jun, who he hadn’t seen in a long time.

Dongfang Jun was also overjoyed to see Lin Zhen, patting his shoulder: “You rascal, how long has it been since we last met?”

“Several years, I think. Ever since I went to the God Generals Training Camp, I haven’t seen you.”

“That’s right, time flies so fast. But you don’t have to call me Master anymore, I’m no longer the Master of Gale.”

“The Master was fired by Yue Zhenhua, and it was because of me.” Lin Zhen felt a little guilty, feeling that he had wronged Dongfang Jun.

Dongfang Jun laughed: “Don’t think too much about it. I didn’t want to continue being the Master of Ice City anyway. I was on the verge of breaking through at that time, so I was planning to quit. Yue Zhenhua’s order just happened to be in line with my wishes.”

Dongfang Jun comforted Lin Zhen for a moment, then said with amazement: “You’ve done well, already a Level Nine War God? I was paying attention to your situation before I came to the Ancient God City. Your promotion speed is

Lin Zhen looked at Dongfang Jun: “Master, your progress is also very fast, reaching the Star Realm.”

Lin Zhen could see Dongfang Jun’s strength, now at the Star Core Middle Stage, and with Diamond Early Stage Spiritual Power. Although not as strong as himself, it was still very impressive.

Back when Lin Zhen was at the Silver Stage of Spiritual Power, Dongfang Jun was already at the Dark Gold Late Stage. Now that Lin Zhen had reached the Diamond Middle Stage, Dongfang Jun was at the Diamond Early Stage.

Comparing the two, one can see how terrifying Lin Zhen’s promotion speed is. It’s worth noting that Dongfang Jun is almost fifty years old, while Lin Zhen just turned twenty-one.

Dongfang Jun sized up Lin Zhen, praising him: “You’re incredible! I knew you were a genius when you were in Gale, with 99% gene enhancement. I’ve never seen anyone like you, but I didn’t expect you to be so talented.” “Haha! Master, don’t make fun of me.”

“I’m not kidding, come on, sit down, let’s have a good chat.”

Lin Zhen smiled. This is the rule among martial artists: when your strength is similar, you can call each other brothers. If your strength is not enough, even after ten thousand years, you will still be a junior. Clearly, he had gotten Dongfang Jun’s recognition of his strength.

The two sat down and chatted for a while. After Dongfang Jun left Gale, he had been wandering around various Ancient God ruins, and his life had not been particularly noteworthy. On the other hand, Lin Zhen’s story shocked Dongfang Jun.

After Lin Zhen finished speaking about the conflict with the Church, Dongfang Jun’s face became serious: “Brother, I think you might have misunderstood something.”

“What is it?”

“Going to the third layer is definitely not an easy task. Despite having all these Ice-attribute Star Artifacts on you now, just relying on them won’t get you to the North Pole.”

“Is that place really that hot?” Although Lin Zhen was reborn, he didn’t know much about the Ancient God City, so he asked hastily.

“It’s not just hot, it’s so hot that it could burn people to ashes. To get to the

North Pole, you must obtain the Ice Heart.”

“Ice Heart?”

“Yes, the Ice Heart, also known as the Ice Crystal, is hidden in the coldest part of the ice mountains in the South Pole. To get through the North Pole, you must go to the South Pole and get three Ice Hearts to ensure that you can withstand the flames and pass through safely.”

“What if I decide to go to the South Pole instead?” Lin Zhen asked.

“You will need to obtain Flame Hearts, which can only be found at the North Pole. With three Flame Hearts, you can withstand the cold of the South Pole and advance to the third layer.”

Lin Zhen frowned slightly, it seemed that going to the third layer was not an easy task.

Dongfang Jun continued: “Just having Ice Hearts or Flame Hearts alone is not enough. To enter the third layer, there is another mandatory condition.”

“What’s the condition?”

“You must be on the Star List!”

Lin Zhen was taken aback, not expecting that being on the Star List would be a mandatory condition.

Dongfang Jun patiently explained: “To get on the Star List, you have to defeat a

Star List master. But you can’t just defeat them normally, you need to make a Soul Oath with them, betting on your souls, winner takes all. Only if the duel is established, then if you defeat your opponent during the battle, the Star List will appear in your Spiritual Consciousness Sea. By then, you’ll be able to see your ranking on the Star List. So, you must challenge a Star List master, otherwise, the extreme points will repel you, and you won’t be able to pass without being on the Star List.”

“What if the person I find doesn’t want to duel with me?” Lin Zhen asked.

“That’s simple too, you just have to kill them, and the Star List will appear automatically.”

Lin Zhen fell silent for a moment, it seemed that he couldn’t reach the third layer in a short period of time.

Dongfang Jun continued: “So you must hurry up. Judging from what you’ve said, the Church won’t let you go. They will definitely send people to hunt you down. I estimate that you’ve revealed a lot of your cards during your battles, so if you can’t summon extradimensional space for safety, you’re in danger. You need to make a decision about which direction to go and then quickly collect Ice Hearts or Flame Hearts. Find a place to hide and focus on cultivation, and don’t let the Church find you. If all else fails, I can take you to the South Polar Region to meet Luo Yun. He’s from Hua Xia and the leader of the South Polar Region. With his protection, you should be safer.” Dongfang Jun suggested with great concern for Lin Zhen..
