"Since you won't try, I will!" The North American County Prince smiled faintly, his expression growing even more indifferent, as if he held the Heavenly Road in high regard.
His purpose in coming to the Imperial City this time was the Heavenly Road. He had heard of it since childhood, and now that he had the chance, how could he miss it?
"Go ahead and try!" Prince Bai Long chuckled. "Perhaps you'll have unexpected gains. Even if it's not much, it'll be better than your fifth brother."
"Third Brother, if you keep talking like that, I'm going to get angry!"
Prince Yun Hai said with a slight frown, displeased. With so many outsiders present, being spoken of in such a way naturally stirred resentment in his heart.
"Enough, enough, it was my slip of the tongue just now. You don't need to take it to heart!"
Prince Bai Long smiled, appearing quite amiable.
Meanwhile, the North American County Prince stepped forward without hesitation and headed towards the Heavenly Road. He wanted to see what was so special about it that it attracted so many people.
At the same time, Lu Fan also stood by, watching silently. Even he wanted to see the special aspects of the Heavenly Road.
Arriving beside the Heavenly Road, the North American County Prince's spiritual energy surged, and he leaped towards the Heavenly Road without any reservation. As the North American County Prince, he naturally felt he wouldn't be too bad.
However, as he approached the Heavenly Road, he discovered an endless aura on it. This endless aura continuously suppressed him, making it difficult for him to breathe.
As he continued to approach the Heavenly Road, a heavenly pressure instantly crushed down, appearing exceptionally terrifying.
At the same time, everyone watched, astonished, as the North American County Prince seemed about to step onto the Heavenly Road.
"He's going in, he's going in!"
The crowd shouted, their eyes filled with awe. After all, in so many years, very few could truly step onto the Heavenly Road. For the young North American County Prince to be able to set foot on it was a great affirmation for him.
Enduring the powerful heavenly pressure, the North American County Prince pressed forward, his gaze becoming firmer. He could clearly feel the immense pressure of the Heavenly Road, catching him off guard.
However, he knew that as long as he could persevere, he would receive the Heavenly Road's heavenly baptism, which would bring him immense benefits.
Before long, everyone discovered that on the Heavenly Road, a medical heavenly pressure crushed down. The North American County Prince, not having stabilized his footing, was immediately repelled by that aura, appearing quite disheveled and completely thrown off balance.
Witnessing this scene, Prince Yun Hai burst into laughter. "I never expected the North American County Prince to have such capability to enter the Heavenly Road. Although he was repelled before even stepping onto the steps, it's still quite good!"
"Indeed, it's not bad!" Prince Bai Long nodded. "Although it's only on the first tier, being able to enter the Heavenly Road means they will become outstanding individuals in the future!"
"Thank you for the praise, both brothers!" The North American County Prince cupped his fists, a smile appearing on his lips. Unfortunately, he hadn't been able to withstand that heavenly pressure on the Heavenly Road, otherwise, he would have achieved something and gained boundless heavenly power.
"Do you two want to try?"
Prince Bai Long looked at Ling'er and Liu Ruyan, his expression serious. These were friends of the North American County Prince, and he naturally would not slight them.
"I'll pass," Liu Ruyan shook her head. "I'm not interested in this Heavenly Road, nor do I believe in its legends. In my opinion, destiny is in one's own hands, not dictated by the Heavenly Road!"
"That's well said, I love hearing that!" Prince Yun Hai was instantly delighted and looked at Liu Ruyan with great admiration.
Liu Ruyan stood there, stunned, and didn't say more, appearing indifferent and detached from worldly affairs.
Ling'er stood gracefully and then headed towards the Heavenly Road. She also wanted to see if she had a chance to enter the Heavenly Road, as this was a rare opportunity. If she could enter, perhaps she would receive a heavenly baptism, and her own realm would improve accordingly.
However, as she approached the Heavenly Road, she felt its pressure and became quite anxious. Her strength was not very strong, and her talent was likely just average. Gaining the recognition of the Heavenly Road would not be easy.
As she continued to approach, the pressure of the Heavenly Road grew stronger, making her feel uncomfortable. Yet, she persisted, constantly moving closer to the Heavenly Road, not daring to slacken.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan's brow furrowed slightly. "If I'm not mistaken, she shouldn't be able to ascend the Heavenly Road."
"That's not necessarily true. Those with exceptional talent can all ascend the Heavenly Road!" The North American County Prince shook his head. "Her foundation is a bit weak, but her talent might not be!"
Lu Fan stood by, not speaking directly, but observing silently. His intuition wouldn't be wrong; entering this Heavenly Road was likely no ordinary matter.
At the same time, Ling'er was indeed subjected to immense pressure, her entire being somewhat affected. She could clearly perceive the terrifying nature of the Heavenly Road, which made her dare not advance even half a step.
"If you can't resist, retreat quickly!" Lu Fan spoke. "Although the Heavenly Road offers a heavenly baptism, forcing your way in might not be a good thing!"
"No, I must ascend the Heavenly Road!" Ling'er shook her head and moved forward, her eyes serious, as if this was her only chance.
Meanwhile, Prince Bai Long stood by, silently observing all of this. He greatly admired Ling'er's persistence.
Before long, Ling'er was forcefully repelled. On the Heavenly Road, she appeared insignificant, repelled in the blink of an eye.
With a trace of blood at the corner of her lips, Ling'er was instantly somewhat dejected. She had done her best, but under this immense power, she was utterly incapable of resisting. Her face was ashen.
"Is my talent really this poor?" Ling'er questioned herself with a sense of loss and self-reproach, her heart filled with unwillingness.
"Those who can enter the Heavenly Road are one in a million!" Prince Bai Long spoke. "For you to have gotten close to the Heavenly Road is already quite remarkable!"
"Thank you!" Ling'er nodded slightly, but her heart remained deeply stirred. Being unable to enter the Heavenly Road was a significant blow to her, at least in her eyes, entering the Heavenly Road was what she pursued, but now, it would all turn to dust.
