A Guide to Conquering the Heavens Starting with Dragon Ball

Chapter 172 Libra Gold Saint Dohko

Mount Lu is very large.

It wasn't just a major problem; Mount Lu was surrounded by an invisible barrier, and it was precisely because of this invisible barrier that Jiang Chen and the others' inner universes were completely suppressed.

The only way is to travel there on foot.

It wasn't just a matter of hiking; the deeper they went into Lushan, the greater the pressure they felt.

"Whoosh!"

Galon was panting heavily, his forehead covered in sweat.

And beside him, Saga, Shaka, and Aiolos were not in much better shape.

In contrast, Jiang Chen was much more normal, with basically no change.

He possesses not only a cosmos, but also the terrifying physique of a Saiyan. Having adapted to hundreds of times the gravity for many years, the pressure on the road is almost negligible to him.

"What on earth is going on?!"

"Why do I feel like the space around me is squeezing me?"

Galon stopped and couldn't help but speak, panting.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't you feel that sense of oppression?"

Galon spoke up, his gaze involuntarily turning to Jiang Chen.

As he spoke, Saga and Aiolos couldn't help but turn their gazes towards him.

Shaka also turned his head with his eyes closed.

The group of people all looked curious.

As they advanced, they could clearly feel the terrifying sense of oppression.

Especially now, after more than half a day, the sense of oppression had almost doubled, yet Jiang Chen remained calm and composed, making them wonder if he also felt that oppressive aura.

"I felt it."

"However, this is not a major problem."

Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head.

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Saga and the others couldn't help but show a hint of shock in their eyes.

"You're really something!"

Aiolos sighed.

He then gritted his teeth and continued forward.

Saga, like Shaka, felt a slight tremor in his heart, but he still took a step forward.

"abnormal!"

Galon glanced at Jiang Chen, couldn't help but speak, and quickly followed after him.

The five of them walked step by step toward the center.

Originally, it was only a few miles away.

It took the five of them almost three days to finally reach the Five Old Men Peak at the very center.

Wulao Peak was originally called Wulao Mountain. In the Xunyang Ji by Zhang Sengjian of the Jin Dynasty, it is recorded that "Wulao Peak is hidden in the sky, and its shape is like Wulao Mountain in Yuxiang County, Hezhong Prefecture".

In this era, Wulao Peak remains magnificent and beautiful.

Observe from different angles, the mountain has different shapes, some like a poet reciting poetry, some like a warrior singing, some like a fisherman fishing, and some like an old monk sitting cross-legged.

The moment they arrived, they spotted the figure of an old man sitting atop the enormous waterfall.

"arrive!"

Galon's eyes lit up, his expression filled with excitement.

The pressure on the others also eased slightly at this moment.

The sense of oppression they encountered along the way was far greater than they could have imagined in the past.

Especially as they approached the Five Old Peaks, the sense of oppression increased more than tenfold.

The immense pressure nearly caused all four people present to collapse to the ground.

They finally arrived, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he plopped down on the ground.

Even Shaka was no exception.

In contrast, Jiang Chen seemed normal, his gaze involuntarily turning to the old man in the distance.

"The prospective Saints Saga, Aiolos, Shaka, Chen, and Kanon pay their respects to Your Excellency. We have come here to train at the Pope's command."

As Jiang Chen observed, Saga managed to calm his inner cosmos before struggling to stand up and bow slightly to the old man's figure on the cliff face, speaking in a respectful voice.

Saga spoke on behalf of everyone, and the others quickly bowed in response.

however.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

The Lushan Waterfall roared, its massive flow washing over the entire land, yet there was no response.

It was completely quiet around us.

Sweat beaded on everyone's foreheads.

Until a moment later.

There was still no sound.

Saga gritted his teeth and spoke again.

"The prospective Saints Saga, Aiolos, Shaka, Chen, and Kanon pay their respects to Your Excellency. We have come here to train at the Pope's command."

The words were spoken, but all that could be heard was the roar of the waterfall.

"Aiolos, the prospective Saint, pays his respects, Your Excellency!"

"Apprentice Saint Seiya Chen greets Your Excellency!"

"Shaka, the prospective Saint, pays his respects, sir!"

A moment later, Jiang Chen and the others also spoke up.

However, the result remained the same.

"Is this old man asleep?"

There was still no response, so Galon muttered something under his breath.

However, the words had barely left his lips.

"bump!"

Galon's body was sent flying as if out of control.

"What's all the noise about? Can't a person get some rest?!"

An aged voice rang out.

However, this voice brought a smile to everyone's face.

"My lord, we have come to cultivate in accordance with His Holiness the Pope's orders!"

Saga quickly spoke up.

"knew!"

"That guy is always causing me trouble."

"Cultivation is possible. Whoever can climb up here, I will teach you. If you can't, go back to where you came from."

"I don't keep trash here!"

An aged voice rang out.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, a vast microcosm instantly covered the cliff face where Tong Hu was standing.

"boom!"

The aura spread, and a powerful sense of oppression instantly spread out.

"Splash!"

At that moment, Galon emerged from the pool looking disheveled.

He was about to speak subconsciously, but when he sensed that terrifying inner power, he instinctively shrank back.

Let's go!

Jiang Chen spoke, and then stepped towards the cliff face.

Saga and Aiolos exchanged a glance and followed suit.

However, just as everyone stepped onto the cliff face...

Jiang Chen felt his body involuntarily swell.

At the same time, a light, airy voice rang out.

"Your body is too strong, suppress it a bit!"

As soon as he spoke, Jiang Chen felt a powerful binding force instantly spread through his body.

This binding force is extremely terrifying.

Even though his fighting power has now exceeded five million, he still finds it difficult to break free. However, this is only the current situation; if he transforms into a Super Saiyan, Jiang Chen feels he could easily break free.

He glanced at Tong Hu high in the sky.

Jiang Chen did not choose to break free.

After all, this is probably a training method used by Saint Seiya.

Breaking free would not do him any good.

"Hahaha!"

"Now, you're just like us!"

Seeing the sweat instantly appear on Jiang Chen's forehead, Galon couldn't help but smile and speak.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"

Saga couldn't help but speak up.

The others couldn't help but glance at Jiang Chen, seemingly casually.

However, it was only a glance before the group quickly began to take action.

At this moment, the oppressive feeling was not just ten times stronger, but also suppressed by a vast microcosm. This microcosmic suppression far exceeded that of the Seventh Sense, and even a small part of it was extremely terrifying.

At this moment, going up is like Mount Tai pressing down on mortals; every step forward feels like an insurmountable chasm.

Galon's face turned bright red.

The body cannot move forward even one step.

Shaka, Saga, and Aiolos could only move with difficulty.

At this rate, it may take several years to reach the peak.

Especially since this is only the beginning.

Everyone could sense that this was just the beginning, and the oppressive force of that microcosm would only grow stronger as they ascended.

None of them could imagine just how strong the oppressive feeling above them would be.

Even so, none of the people present, including Galon, backed down.

The figure was moving upwards step by step.

Time slips away quietly.

The five figures moved forward with difficulty.

The five people, exhausted, stopped late at night and began catching fish around the area to eat.

Then cultivate your microcosm.

As the morning sun shone down, the group began their climb once more.

On the cliff face, Tong Hu still kept his eyes closed.

They seemed completely unaware of all this.

He ignored the five people.

The five of them did not disturb Tong Hu any further, but simply continued climbing day after day.

Under that terrifying sense of oppression and the suppression of their inner universe, their bodies began to gradually transform, and at the same time, their inner universes began to evolve continuously.

Jiang Chen was undoubtedly the first to realize this.

On the third day, he felt that under that powerful pressure, his inner universe, which had stopped evolving, started to evolve again.

The others were subsequently discovered as well.

This brought a smile to everyone's faces.

As prospective Saints, everyone present knew that improving their Cosmo was the most crucial aspect of their training.

"boom!"

With a jolt, Galon's body crashed to the ground.

But at that moment, he simply dusted himself off and got up again, continuing his climb.

These days, the other four are doing almost the same thing.

Even among the five individuals with the highest talent in the Holy Domain, the gap between them is gradually becoming apparent.

Jiang Chen was at the top. Even with more power suppressing him, his physique was unmatched by others. Shaka followed.

As the reincarnation of Buddha, Shaka's cosmos grew almost the fastest among those present.

Then came Saga, and Aiolos.

Finally, there's Galon.

Although Kanon's talent is very strong, it is clear that he is still somewhat inferior to Shaka, Saga, or Aiolos.

As for Jiang Chen, due to his physique, Saiyan constitution, and the influence of the entire galaxy's microcosm, his talent has also reached the highest level.

It even surpasses Shaka, Saga, and Aiolos.

In just a few days, Jiang Chen felt that the inner universe within him had expanded by more than double.

Although his inner universe has expanded to a larger extent, the difficulty for him to break through to the sixth sense, or even the seventh sense, has also increased significantly.

But that's not important.

Ultimately, the strength of the Saint Seiya comes down to the strength of their cosmos.

The seventh sense is greater than the sixth sense, that is, under the condition of equal microcosm.

If one's own inner universe completely surpasses that of the other, then the sixth and seventh senses will be meaningless.

Just like at this moment, although Jiang Chen has not yet developed a sixth sense, his cosmos is so powerful that not only ordinary Bronze Saints, but even Silver Saints probably cannot compare to him.

Not to mention him, even Shaka, Saga, Aiolos, and Kanon's cosmos are far stronger than those of ordinary Bronze Saints.

This is the enormous difference between microcosms.

Therefore, Jiang Chen didn't care too much about how long it would take to break through to the sixth sense, or even the seventh sense.

Although once the sixth sense, which is above the fifth sense, is awakened, one will possess superpowers such as manipulating elements, foreseeing the future, telekinesis, flight, illusion, mind reading, mind control, intuition, etc.

Awakening the seventh sense grants power that transcends the mortal realm.

But these things didn't hold much appeal for him.

After all, as long as his inner universe continues to grow stronger, even if it's just the sixth sense, he can easily defeat the seventh sense, and it's not impossible for the seventh sense to defeat the eighth sense.

Simply having a certain intuition doesn't mean much.

"boom!"

His body crashed down.

He fell to the ground again.

Jiang Chen stood up, regulated his breathing, and charged forward again.

As time goes by.

The group gradually adapted to this pressure, and the initial pressure could no longer hinder them.

Jiang Chen, the tallest, has already climbed almost a third of the way.

Even the lowest Galon is about one-fifth of the height.

At this rate, it might take at most six months for everyone to reach the cliff where Tong Hu is.

Of course, compared to their initial eagerness to enter the cliff face, they were now enjoying the continuous improvement of their strength and even their inner universe.

Jiang Chen was no exception.

On the cliff face.

A hint of satisfaction appeared in Tong Hu's aged eyes.

He was extremely satisfied with the five little ones from the Holy Land this time.

He possesses exceptional talent and perseverance.

Given its current level, it will undoubtedly become a mainstay of the Holy Land in the future.

They could even become extremely powerful among the Gold Saints.

While satisfied, Tong Hu was also somewhat curious.

Especially Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen possesses a power distinctly different from that of the Small Universe, yet it is extremely powerful.

At first, because of Jiang Chen's appearance, Tong Hu thought that Jiang Chen's power came from the fairy realm.

But he soon discovered that wasn't the case.

After all, the power of the fairy realm also originates from the microcosm, but Jiang Chen does not.

It seems to be simply a matter of physical and mental strength.

This filled him with curiosity: when had his physical strength and vitality reached such a level?

This surpasses most instances of a sixth sense.

More importantly, the power within Jiang Chen doesn't seem to be at its limit.

That's amazing.

Of course, despite his curiosity, Tong Hu had no intention of investigating further. He could sense that Jiang Chen possessed the purest sense of justice.

With such a pure heart of justice, there is naturally nothing to worry about, nor is there any need to care too much about anything.

(As can be seen from the original work, the sixth sense and the seventh sense do not actually represent strength, but only a level of understanding. These are different. There have been instances where the sixth sense has overpowered the seventh sense, and there have even been instances where the seventh sense has fought against the eighth sense.)
