In the heart of the Yingyue Sect lies a small lake called "Bibo," which is no more than ten miles in circumference. Surrounded by mountains, its clear blue waters resemble a sapphire, a breathtakingly beautiful sight.
In the center of Bibo Lake stands a seven-story glazed pagoda, over a hundred feet tall, its entire body shimmering with light. This is the Seven Absolutes Pagoda, the sacred artifact of the Yingyue Sect.
At this moment, the mountain peaks surrounding the Seven Absolutes Tower were crowded with people, all of whom were low-ranking disciples of the Moon Reflection Sect below the Spirit King level. Only those with the cultivation level of Spirit King were qualified to participate in the Seven Absolutes Tower trial. Since they were not qualified to participate in the trial, they could only watch from the sidelines.
Between the mountain peak and the blue lake, there is a wide circular platform, which is also full of people. Apart from some attendants, almost all of them are spiritual cultivators at the Spirit King level or above.
The cultivation level requirement for the Seven Absolutes Tower Trial is Spirit King or above and Spirit Venerable or below. Therefore, disciples and elders at the Spirit King, Spirit Emperor, and Spirit Sect levels can all participate. Currently, more than 90% of the people at these three levels have gathered here, with only a small number yet to arrive.
"Look, it's Qiu Guangyu, the true disciple of Lingyun Pavilion. It's said that his cultivation has reached the peak of the Spirit Emperor realm, and his combat power is comparable to that of a sect leader. I wonder if he has a chance to reach the top."
"Even if you reach the top, you'll just be cannon fodder. That's the battlefield for Grandmaster-level elders. Without the strength of a late-stage Grandmaster, going up there is just suicide."
"It's already good enough for the disciples to reach the top level. Do you really think everyone is like Elder Fufeng, whose combat power can span an entire major realm?"
"It's a pity that Elder Fufeng's cultivation level is a bit low. We won't be able to see him dominating the top level in this trial."
"It's a real pity. If he had the cultivation of a peak Spirit Emperor, I suspect he could have reigned supreme at the top."
...
As the crowd discussed the matter, more and more talented disciples from various peaks and pavilions flew in, drawing cheers from the crowd.
Suddenly, the appearance of a young man caused a brief silence on the platform, which was then followed by an even more intense uproar.
"Ye Chen is here!"
"Did you notice? His cultivation level has improved again. He was at the sixth level yesterday, and today he's advanced to the eighth level. That's outrageous!"
"Comparison is the thief of joy! I toil away for a year or two just to advance one level in cultivation, while he jumped from the eighth level of Spirit King to the eighth level of Spirit Emperor in just a few days! Is there any justice in this world?!"
"No wonder there is an ancient saying: 'Once a divine body is revealed, who can contend with it?' With such terrifying progress, who among his peers can compete with him?"
"The Divine Sun Physique is indeed extraordinary, but it's not necessarily true that no one can rival him. I think Elder Fufeng is not much worse than him."
"Elder Fufeng is strong in overall strength, but his cultivation progress is far inferior to Ye Chen's. When Ye Chen was at the eighth level of Spirit King, Elder Fufeng could still suppress him. Now that Ye Chen's cultivation has jumped to the eighth level of Spirit Emperor, even someone as strong as Elder Fufeng is afraid he can't beat him."
"Hey, I think it's a mixed bag. Ye Chen's cultivation has improved so quickly, his combat strength might not be able to keep up, while Elder Fu Feng is a genuine sect-level combat expert. If they really meet in the trial, it's hard to say who will win."
...
Ye Chen went straight to the area where the Da Gan royal family was located. Today, in addition to the two saints Gan Hong and Gan Jun, as well as the three royal juniors Gan Zhen, Gan Jing and Gan Yang, there were several other members of the royal family. Among them, the most important one was the current ruler of Da Gan, Gan Yin.
"Ye Chen greets Your Majesty."
Ye Chen greeted Gan Yin respectfully.
"Chen'er, there's no need for such formalities."
With a gentle smile, Gan Yin stepped forward and said kindly, "From now on, please don't call me Your Majesty. You are the son-in-law of Gan Yang. It's more affectionate to call me Father Emperor."
Ye Chen readily agreed and immediately addressed him as "Father Emperor," which made Gan Yin laugh heartily, his face beaming with glory. Being the father-in-law of a quasi-divine being was far more prestigious than being the ruler of the Great Gan Kingdom. With this status, he would become the lord of the Holy Land, and everyone would treat him with utmost respect.
With Ye Chen's arrival, the Da Gan royal family instantly became the focus of attention. All the top sects of Da Gan came to show their faces, including the Seven Gods Sect, the Joyful Union Sect, the Sunset Valley, and the Hidden Sword Manor...
Yu Tianyue, the acting sect leader of the Shenxiao Sect, also arrived, his face showing a bitter expression.
Although Ye Chen is nominally still a disciple of the Shenxiao Sect, once the Shenxiao Sect sends Ye Chen to the Yingyue Sect for training, it is destined to lose this disciple. After all, this is pushing Ye Chen into a fire pit. How could Ye Chen admit to a sect that has betrayed him?
Indeed, when Ye Chen saw Yu Tianyue, his expression turned noticeably cold, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes, clearly showing that he already harbored hatred for the Divine Firmament Sect.
Yu Tianyue looked helpless and didn't expect to win back Ye Chen. Now he only hoped to repair the relationship between Shenxiao Sect and Chi Yuan. With You Rong Qingxian as a bridge, at least Shenxiao Sect still had a chance to establish a relationship with Chi Yuan.
Next, Yu Ling Shuang also came over to greet Ye Chen on behalf of the Yingyue Sect, but it was only a symbolic appearance, completely lacking the obsequiousness and flattery shown by other top sect leaders towards Ye Chen.
"The Holy Lord of Yunlan Holy Land, Yunlan Mountain, has come to visit your esteemed sect with his Imperial Son, Yun Teng."
Just then, above the Azure Lake, a magnificent celestial palace in the clouds slowly descended from the sky.
Three people stood on the steps in front of the Immortal Palace. Besides Yunlan Mountain, the Holy Lord of Yunlan Holy Land, and Yun Teng, the Prince of Yunlan, there was a middle-aged man who was not named. He was none other than Yun Feng, the Father of Yunmeng.
The reason Yunfeng came with Yunlanshan was that his lineage was the only one among the many branches of the Yun family in the Yunlan Holy Land that was located in the Daqian Kingdom. In addition, Yunlanshan heard that he had a beautiful and unmarried daughter who was cultivating in the Yingyue Sect and intended to forcibly marry her to that person with the Divine Yang Body, so he dragged him over.
Of course, Yunlanshan was unaware that Yunmeng was now a goddess of the Tianfeng clan, and Yunfeng was silenced by the Tianfeng clan and could not reveal to anyone that Yunmeng had awakened a first-class imperial bloodline and possessed divinity. Therefore, Yunlanshan's decision did not take the Tianfeng clan into consideration.
