Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 46

Nan Fusheng didn't know whether Gu Yue would fly into a rage if she knew Tang Wulin's true identity.

But if the Holy Spirit Cult discovers this, Nan Fusheng is certain that the Holy Spirit Cult's Demon Emperor, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King whose cultivation is about to break through to the God level, will definitely go berserk and might even come to kill him without regard for anything else.

However, Tang Wulin's identity could indeed be used as leverage. Nan Fusheng pondered this, thinking that he could use it to gain benefits when dealing with the Holy Spirit Cult in the future.

"Alright, let's go." Long Hengxu's voice woke the six students. He smiled and said, "When I first came to the Eighteen Heavenly Pillars, I had the same curiosity as you. But after coming here many times, that feeling has faded. However, the murals on each of the Eighteen Heavenly Pillars are especially worth appreciating."

Wu Changkong said, "Calm your minds. When you enter the Spirit Ascension Platform later, you can only rely on yourselves."

Tang Wulin asked in surprise, "Teacher, aren't you coming in with us?"

Wu Changkong said, "Only Soul Masters below the fourth ring can enter the Elementary Spirit Ascension Platform."

Long Hengxu nodded and said, "But don't worry, we will keep an eye on you from outside. If there is any danger, you must evacuate on your own and come back. We will explain the precautions to you later."

Led by Long Hengxu and Wu Changkong, the group entered an elevator, which was going down instead of going up.

The faint feeling of weightlessness told them that they were going deeper and deeper into the earth, but they had no idea how deep.

As expected of the number one organization on the continent, the Spirit Pagoda possesses the most formidable strength and financial resources. Such a project must have cost an astronomical sum.

The elevator had no numbers on it, but it took a full three minutes to stop.

Stepping out of the elevator, you enter a spacious lobby with a dozen or so staff members. Behind them are rows of metal-structured corridors.

Long Hengxu took out a uniquely designed card and handed it to one of the staff members. The staff member didn't say anything, but simply gestured for them to proceed, and led them towards one of the passageways.

After walking several dozen meters down the corridor, they entered another elevator. Continuing their descent, this time the elevator stopped after only a few seconds. When they reappeared, they found themselves in a circular room.

The room was still entirely made of metal, but a huge circle of soul-guided screens hung on the walls, displaying various images that looked like a green world, resembling a jungle.

The staff member turned around and said, "There are six spots available to enter the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform. There is no time limit. If you can no longer withstand the dangers, press your distress signal device to return here. Now, I'll explain the precautions."

"The Ascension Platform was built by our Spirit Transmission Tower over a thousand years, relying on countless accumulations and foundations, and consuming almost all of its resources."

It can be described as another world in itself, utilizing a large amount of spatial technology. Therefore, the first thing you need to be aware of is that the Ascension Platform is not a completely virtual world, but rather half virtual and half real.

Because much of the virtual data requires real feedback, the Primary Ascension Platform is a purely virtual part of it; therefore, your lives are not threatened.

"Within the Ascension Platform, you can do anything, but the core task is to survive, to strive to survive. The longer you survive, the more benefits you will gain in the process."

"Secondly, don't assume that it's absolutely safe inside and that you don't need to worry about your lives. Although it's just your brainwaves being connected, if you are subjected to a huge stimulus, there is still a possibility that your brainwaves could be overwhelmed and you could be in danger."

Therefore, once you feel that you are beyond your limits, immediately press the distress signal and leave the ascension platform. Do you understand?

"Understood," Nan Fusheng and the other six quickly replied.

The staff member nodded. "You'll experience the rest for yourselves inside. This is your first time here, so it might not be for too long."

However, it should leave a deep impression on you, children. Be prepared, and remember, don't panic in any situation. Soul beasts are not scary, as long as you handle them properly.

After listening to the staff's explanation, the six teenagers were all eager to try it out. Even Nan Fusheng was no exception. After all, even in his previous life, he had only heard of the virtual world, but had never experienced it firsthand!

Brainwave access? What would that feel like?

The staff pressed a button, and six metal cabinets slowly slid out from the side wall. These cabinets were horizontal and had a recess inside that was shaped like a human figure, making them look somewhat like coffins.

"Lie down inside."

The six men lay down inside as instructed, the coldness of the metal making them even more focused.

One by one, suction cups emerged from the surroundings and quickly adhered to parts of their bodies, fitting perfectly.

"It's about to begin, so please get ready. Just relax your whole body. You might feel a little uncomfortable during the scan. Just bear with it, it will pass."

These were the last words Nan Fusheng and the other six heard from the staff. The six metal cabinets slowly slid into their original positions against the wall, and darkness enveloped them.

Nan Fusheng felt waves of tingling sensations spreading throughout his body, as if something was constantly passing through him, stimulating his soul power and blood.

It generated its own fluctuations, and the tingling sensation began to intensify, making him feel as if his whole body was paralyzed.

He didn't know how much time had passed when suddenly, he felt his body jolt violently. When he subconsciously woke up from his semi-conscious state, he was shocked to find that his surroundings were now completely lit.

The metal box was gone, and the tingling sensation was completely gone. Only on the back of his hand was there a metal instrument-like object with a bright red button.

distress signal device?

here it is?

Although he had some preparation before entering, he only truly understood how awe-inspiring the Spirit Ascension Platform researched by the Spirit Pagoda organization was once inside.

Around him were rows of large trees, and in front of him was a large area of ​​shrubs. There was no path at all, and it felt like he had entered a primeval forest.

Even more strangely, his own sensations felt incredibly real; when he gently pinched his cheek, he felt pain. Everything around him also felt completely real to the touch.

Is this what they call the virtual world?

After a brief moment of surprise, Nan Fusheng gradually calmed down. After all, he was just curious about what this virtual world, which he had never experienced in his previous life, was like.

Now that he had experienced it, his curiosity began to subside. He subconsciously glanced at his body; his clothes and pants were still on.

That's true. If you're not wearing clothes, this beginner-level Spirit Ascension Platform isn't very friendly to girls.

Raising his hands, Nan Fusheng quietly sensed his abilities. Very good, Stealing could be used normally, and Source Castle could still sense it.

He didn't act rashly. From the words of the staff member he had spoken earlier, he could tell that this Ascension Platform was not a safe place; it was likely extremely dangerous. Enemies could appear at any moment.

Thinking of this, Nan Fusheng first squatted down and silently sensed everything around him. His spiritual power had already entered the Spiritual Connection Realm, and his perception of the outside world was much stronger than before.

This is a place brimming with life; this is a true primeval forest! Does such a primeval forest really exist within the Federation?

With continuous logging by humans, primeval forests are becoming increasingly scarce. It is said that the once largest forest on the continent, the Starry Sky Forest, now has less than one percent of its original area remaining.

For Nan Fusheng, who had lived in a small county town in his previous life, this kind of primeval forest was something he had only ever seen on his phone. Even in this life, this was the first time he had ever seen such scenery.

Coming to his senses, Nan Fusheng walked directly to a large tree, and using the tree trunk and the surrounding bushes for cover, sat cross-legged and released his martial spirit.

From the outside, Nan Fusheng appears to be cultivating, but at this moment, Nan Fusheng is using the perspective of his soul: a parasite.

On the large tree that Nan Fusheng was leaning against, a tiny insect was slowly crawling and crawling. When it reached the top of the tree, it stopped there and didn't move.
