Undeniably, the defensive talisman played a significant role in helping her avoid the first wave of attacks, allowing her to catch her breath and counterattack her enemies. Eventually, using the astonishing power of the Rainbow Needle, she barely made it through the fifth level and arrived at the second floor, finally having the opportunity to witness the Emperor’s Treasure.

It can be said that without Yang Chen’s help, Jiang Caiying would have had a hard time getting through the fifth level even in a new round of selection.

Although she was grateful in her heart, she did not say it out loud, but merely remarked, “Yang Chen, we meet again.”

“Miss Jiang, you’re here, it seems that Emperor Senior has already started a new round of selection. Time really flies. By the way, Miss Jiang, you should also take a look at the surrounding environment. It seems that the treasures left by Emperor Senior are all here,” Yang Chen sighed.

Jiang Caiying had already begun to look around, and when she saw the treasures around her, she couldn’t help but take a deep breath, evidently shocked as well.

“Girl, now that you’ve made it through the fifth level, you have one chance to choose. Hehe, pick one for yourself.” The Tiandu Emperor yawned lazily, showing no interest in Jiang Caiying, and simply made a brief mention before falling silent again.

Jiang Caiying, on the other hand, was not an impatient person and meticulously observed her surroundings.

At the same time, suddenly, the entire space seemed to tremble slightly.

“Boom.”

A faint rumbling sound came from the outside world, which made Yang Chen keenly aware and couldn’t help but ask, “Tiandu Senior, what’s going on?”

“Oh? The west gate just opened, that’s all. No need to worry about it,” Tiandu Emperor waved his hand.

“West gate? What’s the story with the west gate?” Yang Chen blinked.

Seeing Yang Chen’s confusion, Tiandu Emperor did not hesitate to explain, “There are a total of three gates in Sky Capital City. Each gate requires one of the three keys that I issued back then to open. Oh, I just remembered, it should have been the two of you who opened the east gate, right?” freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

“It was indeed this Junior,” Yang Chen respectfully replied.

“Hmm…” Tiandu Emperor looked at Yang Chen with interest, “So you mean the keys are in your hands now?”

“How did Senior know?” Yang Chen couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Tiandu Emperor tutted, “I didn’t know at first, but seeing your expression, I can deduce most of it. Kid, your ability to keep a straight face is indeed impressive, but it’s still not enough in front of me. The girl’s expression when hearing about the key is quite different from yours, and you, on the other hand, seem a bit more tricky.”

Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile bitterly, but he wasn’t surprised that Tiandu Emperor could guess the truth.

There were only him and Jiang Caiying on the second floor, and they were the first two to enter the Celestial Capital City. As powerful as the Tiandu Emperor was, a simple comparison between the two expressions would easily lead him to the correct conclusion.

Yang Chen didn’t mind the key at all, but was simply curious, “Tiandu Senior, what exactly was your intention for leaving these keys behind back then? What is the difference between the east and west gate?”

That was also Yang Chen’s long-standing curiosity.

Although this would be his first time knowing that there were three gates in Tiandu City, he did know that Tiandu Emperor left behind three keys, which really screwed over the descendants- well, at least it screwed him.

Tiandu Emperor calmly replied, “If you were to ask what was the purpose of leaving three keys…’hehe’, naturally to add some competitive fun for the talents of future generations. Competition leads to strength, and only by becoming strong enough can one achieve excellent results in the Ten Despair Challenges created by me.”

“So, what’s the story with the east and west gate?” Yang Chen couldn’t help but ask.

The west gate, having been opened just now, meant that besides him, someone else who had gotten the key had also opened one of the gates of Tiandu City.

Tiandu Emperor waved his hand and said, “Strictly speaking, there is not much difference. It’s just that the assessment methods will have subtle changes. However, the ultimate goal is to pass the Ten Despair Challenges. The reason why three gates were set up was in case there were not enough keys issued, no one could open this Tiandu City, what then?”

Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

The Tiandu Emperor really had a unique personality and a quirky disposition.

But it seemed to be true; what if the number of keys issued wasn’t enough and no one could get a key, wouldn’t the inheritance that Tiandu Emperor worked so hard to leave behind become a tragedy?

Tiandu Emperor had indeed thought thoroughly, covering all possible loopholes.

With thoughts in his heart, Yang Chen couldn’t help but feel a little wronged, saying, “Tiandu Senior, you deliberately left three keys behind. Is it really as simple as letting those who get the keys open the gates? If that’s really the case, isn’t it a little unfair to those who open the gates?”

That was what bothered him the most.

Having two keys, he was initially quite excited, but upon arriving and learning that the main function of the two keys he had guarded so painstakingly was nothing more than to open the gates, he was rather disappointed.

Tiandu Emperor snorted impatiently, “Hmph, kid, do you think I am an unreasonable person? Since you went through so much trouble to contend for the keys, you naturally deserve some privileges that others don’t have.”

“Senior, what privileges?” Yang Chen couldn’t help but ask.

Tiandu Emperor tutted, “Actually, in the beginning, I didn’t know that you had the key. I was quite worried that you, with all the infinite possibilities, chose an Ancient Spirit Flower instead of trying something else. But now that I know you have a key, it seems appropriate. This key can be exchanged for an opportunity to pick a treasure from here!”

“What?” Yang Chen was suddenly shocked, “Senior, do you mean that I can exchange one key for one chance?”

This was wonderful.

Having two keys meant that he could have two chances, right?

However, Yang Chen was not in a hurry to exchange both keys at once.

Tiandu Emperor said, “Exactly, kid. I advise you to use the key to exchange for something to enhance your strength before trying to advance further. Otherwise, going down further would be absolutely impossible for you. As for the key, you have to take it out so I can lift the prohibition for you.”

“As a spiritual soul body, I cannot act without restrictions due to the prohibition combined with the mortal body. So I have to follow the rules, hehe, I can’t make any private deals with you.”

Yang Chen was able to understand, so without any hesitation, he immediately took out the key.

Although he didn’t know where Tiandu Emperor’s spiritual soul body was, the moment Yang Chen took out his key, he felt a strong and overbearing spiritual sense sweeping over him and inconspicuously took away the key.

All this was obviously the handiwork of Tiandu Emperor.
