Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 541

[Chapter 541 Tower of Heart]

The world of riders.

The City of Heart is the best place in the world, with convenient transportation in all directions. The roads outside the city are very wide and are known as the ‘Emperor’s Avenue’.

It is said that these “Imperial Avenues” that can accommodate dozens of carriages running side by side were built by an emperor-level driver in the past using the power of a contracted earth-type emperor’s heart beast.

Because there is a trace of the aura of emperor-level beasts on the road, the beasts in the wild retreat and dare not attack pedestrians on the road. It is one of the safest roads.

This day.

Accompanied by strong winds, a Pterodactyl with a wingspan of more than 30 meters landed outside the east gate of the Heart City.

“Ah… it’s the driver!”

“Oh no, the ‘Rock Bull’ pulling the cart got frightened… It’s a King-level Heart Beast!”

“Is it actually a king-level driver who came? He looks so young…”

“Perhaps soon, this person will be famous all over the world, pass through the seven-story Heart Tower, and be named the Heavenly King.”

…

Many onlookers were shocked.

This world is ruled by the Heart Temple, and the Heavenly Kings are enfeoffed in various places. For example, the ‘Jade City King’ is a king-level driver who rules hundreds of cities, large and small, including Green Forest City!
And if you want to get the ‘King’ title and territory, you must rush through the seventh floor of the Heart Tower and get the honor of ‘Heavenly King’!
This is also a balance method of the Heart Temple, which allows the strong to maintain their rule.

Moreover, those territories can only be ruled when the king is alive. Once the king dies of old age and there is no second king in the family, the fiefdom will be taken back or “transferred”.

It can be said that as long as you become a king-level charioteer, fame and fortune will naturally come rolling in.

This also led to a large number of young riders embarking on the path of war riders, and most of them died during their journey.

“We are finally here, the City of Hearts.”

Fang Xing jumped off the back of the Quetzalcoatlus, feeling a little emotional.

Now he looks like a twenty-year-old young man.

The Fang family has good genes, so he is handsome. Of course, the key is his temperament and the majesty of a king.

At this time, more than four years have passed since the Quetzalcoatl was tamed.

If he directly flew to the Heart City on the Wind God Pterodactyl, it would probably take less than ten days or half a month.

But Fang Xing obviously wouldn’t do that.

After completing the Qinglong Mountain dungeon, he traveled all the way to the Titan Forest, the Dark Abyss, and circled the East China Sea. He gathered the quota for five heart beasts and then came to the Heart City.

Now in his hands, this upper king-level Wind God Pterosaur with 6,700 years of cultivation is just the weakest heart beast.

Perhaps its greatest effect is that in the future, when Fang Xing encounters an imperial beast that he likes, it will be directly abandoned as cannon fodder.

Fang Xing took out the Holy Book of Heart, collected the Wind God Pterosaur, and officially stepped into the City of Heart amidst the gazes of many people watching and admiring him.

“Heart Tower, Heart Sanctuary… Here I come.”

…

The headquarters of the Church of Heart in the City of Heart has the most magnificent and grand cathedral.

In the square in front of the headquarters stands a white jade dragon statue.

This is the legendary Heart Beast, the ‘Bright Yinglong’ that once helped the Heart Temple to unify the world!
This is a legendary Heart Beast with real battle records and examples!

Walking around Yinglong with its wings spread out, Fang Xing walked into the magnificent church.

“It is said that this church took more than a hundred years to design and build…”

He looked at the magnificent buildings, as well as the various epic murals, sculptures, stone statues… and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

‘Even a mortal dynasty, after hundreds or thousands of years… can create a world wonder.’

“In a world with extraordinary power like this, a hundred years of time… is more than just a spectacle.”

“Young driver, how can I help you?”

A priest in white clerical robes came out.

He looks middle-aged, and his eyes are as pure as a newborn baby’s.

“I come to pay tribute to the Lord of Heart and ask Him to bless me to challenge the Heart Tower and win…”

Fang Xing took out a stack of gold notes and said, “If possible, I would also like to borrow some books on the cultivation of the power of the mind.”

“Of course, the Heart Lord appreciates every rider who fights seriously.”

The white-robed monk responded with a smile and accepted Fang Xing’s gold note: “The church’s library is open to any king-level driver…”

“Thanks.”

Fang Xing nodded and followed a pastor to read a book.

The monk in white robes kept smiling, holding an ancient book in his hand. When all the priests along the way saw him, they all bowed respectfully and said, “Cardinal of the Holy Scriptures…”

Not long after, Cardinal Canon came to a small quiet room at the back of the church.

An elderly man wearing a golden crown is praying under the statue of the Lord of the Heart.

The Heart Lord enshrined here looks like a drop of white water.

“Your Holiness…”

The Cardinal of the Sacred Scriptures bowed.

“Another young man with potential has come. I see a certain path of destiny in him…”

The old Pope spoke.

The Pope’s natal beast is the ‘Heavenly Crow’, which can predict good and bad luck and know destiny, but its combat ability is average.

However, any king-level driver who comes to the headquarters of the temple will be discovered by the Pope in advance and arranged to be received.

“Some possibility of fate?”

The Cardinal of the Canon was taken aback.

This evaluation has surpassed those who have passed the eighth floor of the Tower of Heart!

“Yes, but we don’t need to get too close to him. When I see him, it’s like seeing a vortex of destruction.”

The Pope shook his head and said something that made the Cardinal of the Canon change his expression drastically.

…

Meanwhile, inside the library.

Fang Xing was opening a high-level secret book on the cultivation of the power of the mind, thinking: “At the initial stage of the power of the mind, you can continuously strengthen your power by meditating on various patterns… After reaching the advanced level, do you need to comprehend the ‘fluctuation’?”

“According to this secret book, everything has ‘fluctuations’. The most important thing about the power of the mind is to perceive the fluctuations of the mind…”

“Could the ‘heart’ here refer to the true spirit?”

“Where is the Transcendental Heritage?”

Fang Xing looked out the window thoughtfully.

From this direction, you can just see a white towering tower.

The tower is pure white and rises high into the clouds, with no end in sight.

It gives people the feeling that it extends directly into the sky and merges with the nine heavens.

Majestic and vast!
“The Tower of Heart! The greatest trial ground for riders…”

“I finally get to see it.”

There was a hint of expectation in Fang Xing’s eyes…

…

The next day.

Tower of Heart.

This tower is located in the northeast of the Heart City, surrounded by a white marble square.

On the tower body, there are countless lifelike heart-shaped and animal patterns engraved.

Flying birds, fish, insects, mountains, rivers, and even the sun, moon, and stars can all be found in corresponding patterns on the tower, which is simply all-encompassing.

At this time, the white marble square was filled with chariot drivers.

“Sir, would you like the latest ranking of the Tower of Heart?”

Some vendors were selling crudely made pamphlets in their hands.

“Song Gongling from South City is known as the ‘Qilin Son’. His natal beast is a ‘Scaled Deer’ with Qilin bloodline, a king quality… I think he will be able to pass the seventh floor of the Heart Tower before he turns thirty…”

“Hehe, even a king-level driver may not be able to pass the seventh floor of the Heart Tower… Cultivating a heart beast consumes a lot of resources, and thirty is too early… The average age of the kings in history is over forty…”

The two drivers looked at the tall Heart Tower with unspeakable envy in their eyes.

“Haha, if we can get through the first three levels, I’m afraid we will be able to become famous in the Heart City…”

The two charioteers were complaining to themselves when they suddenly saw a young man approaching them. “You two… I wonder what the standards are for this Heart-breaking Tower?”

“Is this brother also a charioteer?”

One of the two riders smiled when he saw Fang Xing, “Is this your first time in the City of Heart? This ‘Tower of Heart’ is extremely mysterious. It’s not easy to challenge it. You must pass the test in the Holy Hall and pay a certain fee… This is also to select the best from the best. Otherwise, any random rider can enter, which will cause great chaos and waste…”

“In addition, this Heart Tower opens once every six hours to send out the rider inside…”

Another driver added, looking at the sundial not far away: “Hmm… six hours, almost time.”

Almost as the driver finished his words, the Heart Tower roared, and the door to the lowest level burst open, and several drivers covered in injuries staggered out.

One of them was wearing a purple dress, with fairy-like air and pure eyes, like a pool of autumn water.

“It’s Nangong Qiushui from the Nangong family. It is said that he is only eighteen years old, but he is already a lord-level driver…”

“This girl is indeed a genius, but unfortunately she is still a little immature. However, she definitely has the potential to reach the seventh level in the future…”

Just as these riders were discussing, a layer of light curtain appeared on the Tower of Heart.

On the light curtain, lines of text were listed, and the first one was Nangong Qiu Shui.

[Nangong Qiushui: Fifth Floor]

“Nangong Qiushui actually made it to the fifth floor?”

“On the fifth floor of the Heart Tower, only the best of the Lord-level riders can pass! To pass the sixth floor, you must be a King-level rider… and to pass the seventh floor and take the title of Heavenly King, you must be a strong King-level rider!”

“This woman… is so terrifying!”

At this moment, the two charioteers saw Fang Xing approaching and couldn’t help but said, “Wait, little brother… You can’t enter without the recommendation of the Holy Hall…”

Unfortunately, Fang Xing turned a deaf ear to him and came to the bottom of the Tower of Heart, passing by Nangong Qiu Shui.

Then, with a gentle push, he opened the door of the Tower of Heart and entered.

“That person…actually went in?”

“He must have passed the Holy Temple assessment… Oh, I forgot to ask his name before. This boy is so young and yet he can pass the Heart Tower. He will definitely become a great man in the future.”

The two drivers looked at each other, and saw the shock and regret on each other’s faces…
