Wushen Pagoda was located in the forbidden area behind Wushen Palace. Hong Dali had noticed by now that generally speaking, as long as a place was forbidden, he would definitely have to enter it…
Speaking of which, Wushen Palace’s power was top-notch in the Pugilistic World. However, because they wanted to be elite, every master only took one disciple. There may be a family member or two, but those were not important. In this way, Wushen Palace had a very high status in the Pugilistic World, but its sphere of influence was not big—it only took a little more than ten minutes to walk from the back door of the main hall to the forbidden area in the back mountain.
This was easy to understand. If according to a game’s rules, all those who had come from Wushen Palace were like top-level Bosses. In a game dungeon, it would be the kind of area where there were no minor mobs and only one big Boss when you entered.
Wushen Pagoda was located in the middle of the Forbidden Area in the back mountains. It was a giant pagoda about 40-meters-high. This giant pagoda was not the same as an ancient Chinese pagoda, but more like a Buddhist stupa. It was built by piling giant stones on top of one another. Of course, these stones were much bigger and each piece looked like it would weigh about 20-30 tons. Piled together, it was a horrifying amount of stones.
“We’re here. This is the Wushen Pagoda of Wushen Palace.” Ling Feng led Hong Dali and the Goddess of Wisdom to the front of the Pagoda and said, “This was built by Grandmaster Tang Zhen before he ascended. From the looks of it, I’m still far from Grand Master’s strength at the time he ascended.”
At this, Ling Feng’s face was full of yearning, while Hong Dali sighed secretly.
He was indeed a peerless genius who could stand up against the Dimension Master. Tang Zhen, the old guy, had done something in a martial arts world which would normally appear only in a fantasy world…
Here, the Goddess of Wisdom suddenly frowned and said, “I feel something familiar in this tower!”
There was something familiar in the tower! Hong Dali was immediately overjoyed. He said, “Let’s hurry in and take a look?! Can you tell us what it is first?”
“I’m not sure.” The Goddess of Wisdom shook her head. “It’s just that I sense this thing will be useful to us.” Well, she used to be one of the highest leveled gods in the universe. In other words, the things she came into contact with were all very high-leveled. If she could sense something in such a rookie Pugilistic Dimension, it had to be something extraordinary.
“Hurry, let’s go see!” Without regard for anything, Hong Dali took the lead and rushed in. He quickly reached the inside. There was nothing special about this tower. It was huge, at least 300 square meters. There was nothing in the interior space of the building, except a stone platform on the ground in the center. A purple crystal was set in the center of the stone platform.
“What’s this?” The surrounding items were obviously useless. The object that the Goddess of Wisdom said seemed familiar must have been this crystal.
“This Ling is not very sure.” Ling Feng shook his head. “This crystal has been here since Grandmaster Tang Zhen ascended, but it seems to be just an ordinary amethyst. They are useful in calming the mind.”
Crystal? Amethyst?
The Goddess of Wisdom muttered quietly under her breath and finally remembered it. A trace of excitement appeared on her face. “It’s a magical crystal! This is a magical crystal!” As she spoke, she put her hand gently on the magical crystal, feeling it. After a while, she smiled and exclaimed, “It really is!”
Magical crystals! This time Hong Dali finally remembered it—wasn’t this what the System came up with toward the end to use in exchange for advanced skills? This was what it looked like?
Now Hong Dali finally understood why the successors of Wushen Palace often ascended. What grade was this magical crystal? It was something similar to the creation of the Supreme God and was at least a Dimension Master level treasure.
How could one not ascend with such an item appearing in the rookie village?
“Is this thing useful to us?” Hong Dali asked curiously. By right, this object should have originated from the System. In other words, it had come from the Gods. Perhaps it could teleport them to a higher dimension?
“Its energy is too weak for me.” The Goddess of Wisdom shook her head. “Unfortunately, there’s only one piece.”
“What about me? What about me?” Hong Dali thought that there might still be some hope. “Would it work for me?”
“You can try it. Perhaps it will work,” the Goddess of Wisdom said after she thought about it.
“Let me try, then.” As Hong Dali spoke, he put his hand on the magical crystal. At first, he felt nothing, and there was no change in his body. Just as he was about to retract his hand, an emotionless voice sounded—
“Detected magical crystal energy, initiating energy replenishment, please wait…”
The System! The Great Prodigal System reacted! Hong Dali was instantly overjoyed. The System’s black aura had returned to his mind before the Devil appeared, but there had been no reaction from it since. It was only now that he understood it was because it had insufficient energy. Now that there was a magical crystal for it to replenish energy from, the Great Prodigal System would be able to recover. Things were going to be okay.
Soon, about thirty seconds later, the Great Prodigal System spoke up again—
“Energy replenishment complete, Host’s status check in progress, please wait.”
Soon, the status check was complete, and the Great Prodigal System said, “Host’s status check is complete, Host’s current status: Strength: 100, Agility: 100, Reflexes: 100, Health: 100, Sexual Capability: 100. Current Dimension: Celestial Warrior Dimension. Current World: Rookie Pugilistic World.”
“Restoring host skills… complete.”
“Host’s currency tally… Current attribute points: 0 (Additional explanation: Attribute points skills are constant and there’s no consumption). Current number of magical crystals: -20,000 (Addition explanation: Because the situation was critical at that time, there was an overdraft of 20,000 magical crystals.)”
“Because the System has regained functions, the host is requested to replenish magical crystals to a positive number as soon as possible to avoid errors in the System causing mental damage to the host.”
Wahahahahahahaha! The System was back online, hahahaha! It was super amazing news!
Although Hong Dali would still be able to live happily without the System, with the System up and running, they would be able to return to their original dimension easily—the System was directly connected to the Dimension Door. That meant, he could return whenever he felt like!
“Wahahahaha!” Hong Dali threw his head back and laughed. “Finally, I can go back! Xinxin, Sister Nianwei, all my other wives, my dearest lackeys, Dad, Mum, Great-grandfather, and Great-grandmother, I miss all of you so much!”
