CHAPTER 562: CHAPTER 238 HEAVEN’S GATE_3

Rebel: S-grade talent, reverse flow will stimulate two hundred percent of body potential.

Li Xiu no longer has high expectations for this kind of skill that stimulates body potential, as his previous skills like Super Exciting, Hot-Blooded, and Frenzy were all skills that stimulated body potential.

However, stimulating body potential has preconditions. It’s not just that one skill can stimulate twice, and two skills can stimulate four times.

This also depends on your body’s potential, if it’s insufficient, forcibly stimulating it is equivalent to burning life.

Given Li Xiu’s physical potential, being able to stimulate body potential to three times its state is already the limit; any higher would require sacrificing bodily health.

Therefore, Li Xiu only needs two or three S-grade potential stimulation skills, which is enough; having more is useless and would harm the body.

Of course, if it comes to a life-or-death situation, hurting the body might be worth it. The most feared is if the body gives out first, then it becomes a fruitless endeavor.

Li Xiu glanced at Li Qingyi; she had already chosen Attribute Reward and didn’t opt for skills or the Trial Badge.

Seeing she also had an entrance ticket, Li Xiu chose his own. He was quickly sucked into a vortex resembling jade light.

Arriving at the familiar stone table, the familiar Copper Lamp burned with dim yellow flames, illuminating only a small nearby area.

Strangely, Li Xiu didn’t find the contract on the stone table.

"That’s odd, where’s the contract?" Li Xiu wondered as the Longevity Lamp floated up on its own and drifted away into the darkness.

Li Xiu had no choice but to follow the Longevity Lamp. Soon, darkness engulfed his vision, and when light reappeared, he found himself before a colossal White Jade City.

This city looked somewhat similar to Longevity City, but was unfathomably larger. The gates of White Jade City reached over a hundred yards high, and the majestic aura made it resemble the fortress of giants among clouds.

Oddly though, the grand Jade City abounded with collapsed walls, many segments had crumbled; even the gate tower before him was half-destroyed, as though sliced diagonally by a blade.

"What battle destroyed such a mighty city to this extent?" Li Xiu was somewhat shocked.

If this hundred-yard-high, four-to-five-hundred-meter gate tower was truly sliced in half, what terrifying entity could accomplish such a feat?

"The Celestial Gate, Longevity Island, Bottomless Pit, and Celestial Sea are known as Demon Kingdom’s Four Major Forbidden Zones. The Celestial City inside the Celestial Gate is mysterious, although just a remnant city, it harbors death at every turn. Even Super Spirit Testers might perish if they’re not careful. You must stay close to me, don’t wander off, and don’t touch anything, not even a broken brick or fragment." Li Qingyi solemnly warned.

"Alright." Li Xiu replied, eyes scanning around, thinking strangely, "Why don’t I see Old Dao?"

"Wan Chaocun wouldn’t necessarily be here; it’s normal for her absence. Old Dao guards the Celestial Gate; if he’s not at the city gate, where did he go?" Li Xiu wondered, then asked, "Where’s the guard stationed here from Celestial Heaven?"

Li Qingyi walked toward the gate, answering, "The guard here isn’t needed at this gate. It’s necessary to guard the gate on the city’s opposite side; you have to traverse the entire Celestial City to reach it."

"Why isn’t guarding needed at this side’s gate?" Li Xiu asked, puzzled.

"Because you can only exit through the Trial Gate from the opposite gate. This side, only us Trial Takers can enter and exit; demon spirits can’t get out." Li Qingyi crawled through a crack in the damaged gate.

Li Xiu followed her inside, immediately realizing the city was filled with clouds of radiant white light.

They moved within the city as if walking through a sea of clouds condensed from light, feeling as though soaring through clouds and fog.

Yet these milky white lights were so dense that the entire Celestial City seemed submerged in a cloud sea, only nearing items revealed remnants of white jade structures.

Li Qingyi led the way, stating, "Where we’re headed, we call it the Execution Platform; there lies the opportunity for my ascension to Light Base level..."

Bai Ying was helping Li Qingyi organize things in the courtyard when Bai Wanli walked over with a sullen face, asking, "Dad, why are you here?"

"Where’s Li Qingyi?" Bai Wanli asked.

"She should be preparing for the birthday banquet." Bai Ying replied.

"She’s not home?" Bai Wanli remarked.

"Perhaps she went out shopping?" Bai Ying frowned.

"I suspect she didn’t go shopping but went to the Celestial Gate with Li Xiu." Bai Wanli’s eyes flashed coldly.

"Impossible, she told me Li Xiu’s Jedi Knight was injured, and they wouldn’t go to the Celestial Gate until the knight healed and raised the Super Spirit Limit. It would be days after the birthday banquet, impossible for them to go now." Bai Ying expressed disbelief.

"Daughter, it seems you haven’t truly gained Li Qingyi’s trust." Bai Wanli glanced at her dismissively.

Bai Ying retorted, "No way, Qingyi wouldn’t hide anything from me."

Bai Wanli said nothing, turning to leave Li Qingyi’s courtyard, calling Su Bancheng to head directly to the Li Family.

"Patriarch, the message is accurate; Li Qingyi isn’t home. The two who entered the Celestial Gate should be Li Qingyi and Li Xiu." Bai Wanli approached Li Changyin, immediately apologizing, "The fault is mine for being ineffective, not anticipating Li Qingyi would secretly take Li Xiu to the Celestial Gate under the guise of preparing for the birthday banquet."

"Don’t blame yourself. Li Qingyi, as the president’s daughter, is inherently talented and astute. Seemingly carefree, she knows Bai Ying’s intentions toward her. How could she not?" Li Changyin chuckled, "No need to worry; we have the information. Summon Han Mingshou and Wan Chaoxin, head to the Celestial Gate. There’s still time; Li Qingyi’s ascension to Light Base level isn’t immediate. You still have time to assassinate Li Xiu."

"We’ll depart now." Bai Wanli responded, leaving with Su Bancheng, notifying Han Mingshou and Wan Chaoxin to head to the Celestial Gate.
