I Swear I Don't Have A Python In My Pool

In fact, Wang Mang was not the only one nervous. The other two experts standing on the pillars that lit up were also extremely nervous.

Surprisingly, these two experts were people that Wang Mang was acquainted with!

One was Tian Yu, which did not seem too unreasonable. However, the third person left Wang Mang gobsmacked.

The Black Bear Emperor! How did this fellow get up here? Was his luck so heaven-defying?

In fact, the Black Bear Emperor was equally surprised at the fact that he had made it up here. After all, he was part of the second batch of experts who entered the mystic realm, and was only a land immortal.

Originally, he did not think that he stood a chance as the vast majority of the land immortal experts who entered the mystic realm with him had died tragically.

He had also obtained some opportunities in the mystic realm, and his strength had increased by quite a bit. However, he had never thought that he could compete for the top three ranks in the final mission.

Therefore, the Black Bear Emperor was both very nervous, and very excited. Was this his opportunity to soar to the heavens?

On the other hand, Tian Yu’s expression was rather calm. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but that was about the extent of it.

As for the rest who had failed, they all had ugly expressions on their faces.

This was especially true for the Master of Sacrifice, who had a grudge against Wang Mang. Even Yu Shen was the same. After all, there was now a chance that someone they had a grudge with would win, and Wang Mang’s strength increasing would not be a good thing for them.

At this moment, a dignified voice resounded across the sky.

“There will be rewards for those who came in first through fifth.”

“As for the winner of first place, it is Wang Mang.”

As soon as the voice finished speaking, the entire place was thrown into an uproar, and everyone looked at Wang Mang with jealousy.

However, before anyone could say anything, a pillar of light shot out from the sky and enveloped Wang Mang.

Then, Wang Mang’s figure completely disappeared, leaving behind the other experts to lick their wounds.

They wanted to know what kind of wish Wang Mang would make. Would a Tier 5 expert emerge on Earth, or was Wang Mang going to make some other wish?

Honestly, Tier 5 was the dream of most of these experts, and no one could possibly imagine making another wish.

At this moment, Wang Mang had arrived in a special space, which seemed extremely deep and boundless.

“Eh? F*ck?”

“Where am I?”

For a moment, Wang Mang looked around blankly.

Then suddenly, a blue ball the size of a basketball appeared in front of him, and a face slowly materialized on the blue ball.

At the same time, the dignified voice spoke, “I can sense the aura of an expert from you.”

“Someone has been silently helping you, lucky little guy.”

When he heard this voice, Wang Mang felt his hair stand on end. He had not expected Sovereign to be so powerful as to be able to detect the system’s presence within him.

“Don’t be so nervous. 1 won’t harm you. The aura on your body is a familiar one, so I think I know who it is. If I’m right, our relationship is quite good.”

“Tell me. What is your wish?”

After hearing Sovereign’s words, Wang Mang realized that this fellow was beyond extraordinary, and that this person somehow knew the person who had created the system.

It also spoke volumes about how strong both were. One had created this vast mystic realm, and could grant incredible wishes, while the other had created something as amazing as the system.

Wang Mang’s astonishment even caused him to forget that Sovereign had asked him a question.

“Little guy? State your wish!”

Hearing this, Wang Mang snapped back to his senses.

He looked at the blue ball of light respectfully and asked carefully, “Can you help me reach Tier 5, or perhaps become as strong as you?”

Clearly, Wang Mang was tempted by the chance to become a peerless expert in one fell swoop.

The blue ball of light laughed softly.

“This is not my true body. Becoming as strong as me has already exceeded the upper limit of this body.”

“I can raise you to Tier 5, but 1 have to remind you, there is a side effect to doing so.”

“This might even seal your path to any future advancement forever. This is because, in order to advance through the tiers, one has to send one’s true soul into the six rivers of the Great Dao: Space, Time, Life, Karma, Great Dao, and Heavens.”

“If I forcefully raise your strength to Tier 5,1 can help you send your true soul into the six rivers of the Great Dao, but you won’t be able to find your true soul within the six rivers. Even I won’t be able to.”

“Therefore, you have to consider it carefully, as you will be stuck at Tier 5 forever.”

After hearing this, Wang Mang was taken aback. Stuck at Tier 5 forever?

He was definitely unwilling to pay such a price. After all, Wang Mang knew that there were nine tiers. However, in that case, what wish should he make?

At this moment, Wang Mang was quite troubled. He then ventured the question, “If you raise me to the peak of Tier 4, does it have the same side effects?”

The ball of blue light once again said in a majestic voice, “Advancing to Tier 4 requires one’s true soul to be sent into two rivers of the Great Dao: Space and Heavens.”

“Tier 5 requires the true soul to be sent into three rivers: Time, Karma, Life.”

“Tier 6 requires the true soul to be sent into a fourth river: Great Dao.”

“As for Tier 7 and 8, it has been a long time since anyone has reached that level.”

“I’ve heard that only one person has reached Tier 9, but there’s a controversy about whether that is true, or even whether Tier 9 exists..”
