No matter whether they were the low-level practitioners in the three major markets or the True Lords and True Men in the attic, they all stared blankly at the precious light rising into the highest level of the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda. The shock in their eyes could not be described in words.
Eighteen months ago, someone broke through twelve levels in one day, causing a sensation in the entire Xuanhuang world, but that was still within the scope of understanding.
A strong man who has reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm on the twelfth floor of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower has a chance to break through, the only difference is the amount of time it takes.
Although breaking through twelve levels in a row broke the record in history, it only made many practitioners admire him, but did not make people feel despair that they were unable to defeat him.
But today's breakthrough of five levels and entering the highest level has truly shattered everyone's cognition.
You should know that starting from the thirteenth level, those who can pass the level need to have at least the cultivation level of a true spirit cultivator, and although the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower has existed for tens of thousands of years, there are only a few people who can break through to the fourteenth level.
This mysterious person not only broke the record of fourteen floors that had been maintained for tens of thousands of years, but also ascended to the highest level of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower in one step.
This means that the mysterious trial-taker is only one step away from mastering the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, a peerless immortal weapon.
After a long period of silence, the three markets were all drowned out by overwhelming noise.
The practitioners looked at the unprecedented climb to the top of the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda with excitement, and discussed it with acquaintances with surprise on their faces.
"The highest level, which genius can successfully reach the top of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower?"
"I think it might be the mysterious Son of God who has never revealed his identity."
"Idiot! The news that the Third Prince and the other three Saints failed the trial and appeared in front of the gate of Xuanhuang Linglong Tower has already spread in the three major markets, and you are the only one who still stubbornly believes in the so-called sects.
This genius who reached the top must be the one in Lingxu Market!"
"According to rumors, that genius hasn't even reached the Spirit Refining Realm yet he was able to defeat four Spirit Refining Masters and reach the highest level. What kind of extraordinary talent is this?"
“It seems that the rumors spread by the various cave paradises that one needs to reach the peak of Great Huanxu Real Personage in order to reach the highest level of Xuanhuang Linglong Tower are pure nonsense.
The various caves and blessed lands did not have any geniuses who could reach the top, so they spread this false news to deceive us. It was also thanks to the genius in Lingxu Market that we were able to learn the truth. "
Many practitioners in Lingxu Market looked at the precious light rising to the highest level with an expression of honor.
During these eighteen months, many people sorted out clues from various sources and had already discovered that the genius did not come from a large sect.
Being able to be comparable to the princes and saints despite being born in a small sect has already given many small sect cultivators a sense of pride.
And now that genius has been able to ascend to the highest level of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, the practitioners in Lingxu Market, who had been ridiculed before, are proud.
In a restaurant on the outer layer of Lingxu Market, a cultivator dressed in extraordinary clothes said loudly with a red face:
“This fellow Daoist climbed to the top of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower and won honor for the cultivators of our Lingxu Market.
I am happy today, so I will serve a pot of Baihua wine to everyone present, and put it on my account. "
"Brother Zhu, you are so elegant. Although I have nothing, I am willing to offer you some spiritual fruits. Please taste them!"
"I have some wild beasts that I just hunted. Please cook them quickly so that we can serve them to you all."
In Lingxu Market, many independent cultivators and cultivators from small sects all donated money and effort, and the atmosphere became increasingly lively.
In the two major markets of Chongyue and Tingchao, the vast majority of practitioners also showed excitement on their faces.
Although they were unhappy about being suppressed by the peasants in Lingxu Market, it was nothing compared to being able to witness history.
You can hear people talking about this in the streets and alleys.
“The Immortal Weapon chooses its Master! I never thought I would be able to see the birth of a legend, the scene where the Immortal Weapon chooses its Master!”
“The Xuanhuang Linglong Tower is a treasured immortal weapon that was born in the Xuanhuang Realm. It is definitely one of the best immortal weapons in the Xuanhuang Realm.
If that genius can control the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, it is not impossible for him to ascend to the fairyland in the future and dominate the Xuanhuang world for ten thousand years."
Amidst the numerous discussions outside, the atmosphere in a high-rise private room of an inn in Tingchaofang City seemed somewhat out of place.
There were nine great masters who had reached the state of spiritual transformation sitting in this box. They were all contemporary geniuses from various blessed lands and caves. Wen Tiantai from Zhaotian of Zixuan Cave and Liu Hang from Xuanzhen Heaven of Taiyuan were among them.
Among the nine people in the box, except Wen Tiantai who looked calm and had a hint of smile on his face, the others had stiff expressions and remained silent.
The reason for this is naturally related to the precious light that goes straight into the highest level of Lingxu Market.
Eighteen months ago, they mocked a Qigong practitioner who had reached the highest level.
Eighteen months later, the four holy princes who had reached the realm of true spirit cultivators all failed. Only the Qi-cultivating cultivator made it to the highest level and was only one step away from choosing a master for the immortal weapon.
Looking back, their questioning and disdainful remarks seemed so ridiculous.
Someone opened his mouth slightly and wanted to say something, but when his eyes swept across the shining light at the top of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, he fell silent again.
To reach the top level means that that person has become one of the most outstanding geniuses in the Xuanhuang Realm in tens of thousands of years.
They have not even touched upon the position of the sect's current Daozi, and have no qualifications to compete with him.
When they think the gap between themselves and the other party is small, they can deny the other party's strength and make malicious speculations.
But when the gap in strength between the two sides becomes so huge that it cannot be made any bigger, any denial and malice are no longer meaningful.
"Luoyun Sect, Shen Yuan!"
Someone whispered the name.
The otherworldly figure in white had unknowingly turned into a mountain that they could not cross.
"Bang!"
"Impossible! He is definitely cheating!"
Yu Ke's expression was distorted, and he even found it difficult to suppress the magic power in his body due to the violent emotional fluctuations. A large number of exquisite porcelains in the room exploded into pieces.
Before entering the tower, he had just reached the initial stage of spirit refining, and in the following ten years or so, he forcibly improved his cultivation through incense and faith.
Although he had already entered the late stage of spirit refining, his superficial foundation was fully exposed when his mind was agitated.
King Pingxi glanced at Yu Changming indifferently and said in a cold voice:
"Is this the state of mind of your Yu family's genius?
Putting aside the hidden dangers of using incense to improve cultivation, it is no wonder that he can only be a candidate for the Holy Son since he cannot even fully control his own strength. "
Yu Changming looked unhappy.
The Yu family is one of the large families with a certain reputation, and their roots have been in the Dharma Hall for generations.
Yu Ke is a man of extraordinary talent and has been carefully nurtured by the Yu family since he was young. Their purpose is to let Yu Ke compete for the position of Holy Son and seek further opportunities for the Yu family.
However, there were many geniuses in Xiaoyou Qingxu Zhitian's generation, and Yu Ke was not even in the top three, and was unable to compete with the sect's geniuses for the position of the Holy Son.
The words of King Pingxi pointed directly at the Yu family, which was almost a slap in the face of Yu Changming, but Yu Changming could not come up with any reason to refute.
"Asshole! Why don't you apologize to all the seniors right now!"
Yu Changming, with a furious look on his face, waved his long sleeves and directly suppressed all the magical power in Yu Ke's body. Yu Ke finally came to his senses from his anger and quickly bowed and said:
"Yu Ke was offended for a moment, please forgive me, seniors!"
King Pingxi snorted coldly, but did not bother about these trivial matters. Instead, his eyes fell thoughtfully on the top floor of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower.
"With the four of you out, he rose to prominence overnight. Is this the small-time character you were talking about who schemed and calculated?"
Having said that, King Pingxi showed undisguised contempt on his face.
As one of the most honorable princes of the Dayin royal family, he has always acted without scruples. Yu Ke's previous solemn promises were immediately slapped in the face by reality, which he found quite interesting.
Yu Ke's face flushed, and after hesitating, he whispered:
"Perhaps. Perhaps the three Daoists and I had completed most of the trial, but he plotted against us and failed. He alone took our achievements and passed the trial."
As he spoke, a trace of the remnants of Shinto incense flashed through Yu Ke's mind.
He was sitting on the palace, with hundreds of thousands of people worshipping him. Yu Ke seemed to have discovered the truth and said uncertainly:
"Yes! It must be like this!"
Just as he finished speaking, a slap hit him hard in the face. The power of the Yang God and the protective magic treasure didn't even have a chance to be triggered. His body flew backwards and hit the wall.
The person who made the move was none other than the third prince Ji Zhaoyang, who had an angry face.
On the other side, Yu Changming had noticed Ji Zhaoyang's move as soon as he made his move and tried to stop it, but was stopped lightly by the King of Pingxi.
The right hand under the black robe suppressed all fluctuations of magic power and Yuan Qi, and gently placed on Yu Changming's shoulder.
"Are you, an old man, going to interfere in the fun of the younger generation?"
Yu Changming's expression was stiff and he said nothing.
Ji Zhaoyang did not use any magic power in this slap. Although Yu Ke was not injured, he was stunned. He struggled to climb out of the broken wall and shouted angrily:
"Ji Zhaoyang, are you crazy?"
"Being crazy is better than being a fool who is unwilling to admit his failure!" Ji Zhaoyang's voice was extremely cold.
"The trials given by the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower are fair. If he loses, he loses. No matter what means he uses, he will be the final winner.
If you don't understand this simple truth, you are nothing but a useless person with only a cultivation level."
"winner?"
The anger on Yu Ke's face suddenly subsided, and a sinister smile continued to appear on his face.
“He only completed the thirteenth level of the Earth Gate Trial. Although he ascended to the eighteenth level in one step and received the blessing from the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, everything ended there.
He may have gone further than us, but he will never be the winner, because the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower is not a magical weapon that ordinary people can control!"
When Yu Ke said this, Ji Zhaoyang, Dong Youzi and He Zhen were all shocked. Only the four True Lords did not react at all, as if they already knew what Yu Ke said.
"Third uncle, what on earth is this?"
King Pingxi glanced at Ji Zhaoyang and shook his head slightly.
"In fact, this is not a big secret. The reason I didn't tell you is because I was afraid it would affect your enterprising spirit."
Shen Tuming, the Lord of the Heavenly Punishment Hall of Zuoshen Youxu, said in a deep voice:
“The so-called Xuanhuang Linglong Tower was conceived by the Xuanhuang Realm with the foundation of one realm. It contains the great trend of humanity, the destiny of the Xuanhuang Realm, and even a trace of the supreme charm that descended from the upper realm.
The Xuanhuang Linglong Tower has long surpassed ordinary immortal tools, and even touched the edge of a world-opening treasure. Such treasures are simply not something that creatures like us in the lower realms are qualified to possess. "
"The treasure of opening the world!"
Ji Zhaoyang and others were all shocked.
Immortal weapons are already extremely rare in the Xuanhuang Realm, and the treasures that are above the immortal weapons are even more unheard of.
In ancient records, the treasure that opened the world is also called the Emperor's Weapon and the Treasure of the Heavenly Lord!
In the upper realm, only great figures like the Heavenly Venerable and the Emperor are qualified to possess the treasure of opening the realm, which is enough to show how precious it is.
Ji Zhaoyang asked quickly.
"Then why didn't any immortal take the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda away?"
King Pingxi said coldly:
“The Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda only has a slight chance of transcendence after all, and it is not a true treasure for opening up the world.
Moreover, its foundation lies in the Xuanhuang Realm. Once it leaves the Xuanhuang Realm, its foundation will inevitably be greatly damaged. Therefore, immortals in the upper realm made a contract, allowing the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower to experience the trend of humanity and the refinement of the world's luck within the Xuanhuang Realm, and wait until the right time to take it away.
The so-called Xuanhuang Linglong Tower trial is nothing more than a means of guiding the destiny to refine immortal weapons.
Even if you can break through seventeen levels and reach the highest level, you cannot truly become the host of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower."
"Because there is an immortal on the eighteenth floor of Xuanhuang Linglong Tower!"
The light carried Shen Yuan back to the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower. When Shen Yuan opened his eyes again, he was already in a huge palace.
The mother energy of all things condensed into substance turned into bricks and stones, building up each brick and stone of the huge palace. Mountains, rivers, heaven, earth and all living things were engraved on each brick and stone. Its heavy momentum was like a world of its own.
Standing in the palace, Shen Yuan's own will seemed to be suppressed by this magnificent palace, and even his own will seemed to be stagnant.
He tried to raise his head and look towards the top of the palace. There was a majestic figure sitting on a throne. An ancient aura flowed around the figure and blended with the entire palace.
And behind him, his will reflected the faint images of gods and Buddhas in the heavens.
In an instant, Shen Yuan thought of the Heaven Gate among the three gates of trial of heaven, earth and man.
"Could it be that behind the Tianmen Trial is to face this living being in front of us?"
Such a thought flashed through Shen Yuan's mind, and on the throne, the majestic figure slowly opened his eyes.
"You know"
The sound was like a huge bell, shaking the earth and heaven. The majestic voice seemed to annihilate Shen Yuan's soul.
However, the words were stuck in his throat as soon as they came out of his mouth, and the majestic voice became indescribably hoarse and shocked.
"You and I."
The next moment, the magnificent palace collapsed.
The throne and the vision shattered, and everything in the space turned into smoke and dissipated, leaving only a strange and ferocious beast crawling in front of Shen Yuan.
"Little God, I pay my respects to Emperor Donghua!"
