Chapter 449 The Sixtieth Level, Fourth Level of the Nascent Soul Realm!
As the cultivators entered the Heavenly Star Tower one by one, the surrounding area became completely empty in less than an hour. From time to time, cautious rogue cultivators would come here along the path that had been opened up in the palace.
They also need to be extra careful to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the Heavenly Star Tower, and they should either try to delay their departure as long as possible or come out as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if they were to run into the old demons head-on, they would at least have their storage magic items searched one by one, and if they encountered a vicious one, they might even be killed on the spot.
As time passed, only the faint light of the Tianxing Stone Tablet remained.
Half a month later, a name surged to the bottom of the Heavenly Star Ranking, and it was not a well-known great cultivator like the Proud Sun Demon or the Netherworld Child.
It was a direct transmission from the Core Formation stage!
This realm allows one to master supernatural powers. As long as one cultivates to a high level, it is possible to fight enemies beyond one's own realm. Wang Yu was even able to face the attack of a Nascent Soul cultivator and survive.
Those with lower cultivation levels and younger age do indeed have a significant advantage in these talent selection tests.
The first person to reach the bottom of the Heavenly Star Ranking was Tong Du, a disciple of the Five Yin Peak of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect. He had long been at the peak of the Core Formation stage, and according to convention, he would only need to join any of the three races.
Then you can obtain the Nascent Soul Spiritual Object produced by their clan.
Judging from its size, the Tong family is not a large clan, just a top-tier Golden Core family. That's why he was able to become the personal disciple of the Five Yin Mountain Master.
One reason is that he possesses a mutated version of a superior Yin Spirit Root.
They are born with the ability to see ghosts and control spirits.
Secondly, because his mother gave a third-tier old ghost (ancestral spirit) that the Tong family had nurtured for a thousand years to the mountain lord, who had a high probability of it being promoted to the fourth tier in the other party's hands.
Therefore, Tongdu was actually the product of an exchange of interests. It is rumored that his mother secretly got involved with the Nine Nether Demon Lord of the Five Yin Peak. Those who know, know exactly what methods she used.
If a mature woman is willing to practice some bedroom arts, the disciples of the Path of Love and Harmony know best the various pleasures. For the sake of their son's future, they will stop at nothing.
Theoretically speaking, it would be best for Tongdu to join the Zhuo family.
After all, the [Ghost Curse Demon Stone] produced by their clan is very suitable for the Yin Spirit Root to condense into an infant.
While the powerful members of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect and the Yellow Spring Temple had all entered the Heavenly Star Tower, some Core Formation elders remained outside to oversee the situation and record the changes on the Heavenly Star Ranking.
As the first person to try something new, Tongdu's importance increased exponentially. Soon after, the prodigies of Huangquan Temple made the list one after another, but most of them remained in the bottom 100.
It's difficult to even get into the top 1,400.
It is evident that the Heavenly Star Tower still holds considerable value. The main reason is that Dongjijing was not the capital of the ancient Immortal Dynasty, but merely a gathering place for geniuses in the eastern corner of the dynasty, and it was far from representing the peak level of the Immortal Dynasty.
But the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes.
After all, the top in the region are not trash. In ancient times, the cultivation world was at its most prosperous. Even Wang Yu was not confident of reaching the top.
I feel that climbing into the top 1,000 of the Heavenly Star Ranking would be considered a success.
His cultivation level is not yet very high in the Nascent Soul stage, which is a disadvantage that cannot be ignored.
at this time.
Inside the Tianxing Tower.
For half a month, Wang Yu did not rest for a single day, almost all of his strength to rush to the next floor of the Heavenly Star Tower, and in the blink of an eye, he had already reached the sixtieth floor.
His young face showed a slight sign of fatigue.
"The last floor."
Every ten levels, he receives 300 drops of demonic energy, and so far he has reached 1,800 drops. Once he passes this level, he will reach another limit.
The limit of 12,000 drops of demonic energy at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage!
Although it may cause his Qi Sea to become slightly unstable, if he can break through to the mid-stage of the Yuan Yuan Ying realm, his combat power will increase significantly, and he might even be able to fight against powerful cultivators.
The previous battles with the Azure Water Demon Lord were not the norm.
Eighty percent of the credit goes to the Water Ancestor Token. Any cultivator who specializes in other attributes would not have achieved such a feat.
The sixtieth floor of the Celestial Star Tower is no longer a vast, boundless plain, but a rocky forest with countless towering stone pillars.
This level remains a test of combat skills.
His cultivation level remained consistent with his, reaching the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage. Compared to his previous opponents, his combat intelligence had increased significantly.
At that time.
At the top of a distant stone pillar, a cultivator appeared, clad in a black robe and wearing a ferocious mask, wielding a halberd, exuding immense power.
The tower spirit's notification sounded at the right time.
[This trial requires... defeating Fang Tianyu, the "Brave and Fierce Marquis," a prodigy in the Immortal Dynasty's army. The time limit is six hours. After a short period of rest (about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn), the challenge begins!]
"Marquis Yongli..."
Wang Yu muttered to himself, since the tower spirit could manifest the phantoms of other Nascent Soul cultivators, those geniuses of the Immortal Dynasty who had passed through the Heavenly Star Tower were naturally also within the range of the tower spirit's manifestation.
The clash between modern people and ancient people is indeed something to look forward to.
Wang Yu closed his eyes to regulate his breathing and began to think about tactics.
Judging from the opponent's weapon, he must also be a strong person in terms of physical strength, whether he specializes in body cultivation or uses normal dual cultivation techniques.
He was not afraid in a contest of pure strength.
This is a good opportunity to refine one's superficial Qi and blood, laying the foundation for future breakthroughs in body cultivation.
The time it takes for an incense stick to burn passes in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, Wang Yu unleashed the power of the innate demonic fetus, activating the Heavenly Demon Transformation, and the previous state and appearance of the Extreme Yin Dragon Infant overlapped on his physical body.
Black lightning and ice dragon flames rose alternately, and with the explosion of lightning and fire, they transformed into a blue-black stream of light that collided with the leaping Marquis Yongli.
With a deafening roar, the stone forest was largely destroyed by the shockwave; the hard rocks were no better than tofu in their hands.
As the smoke and dust cleared, Wang Yu, covered in the Demon Dragon Armor, held the Black Ice Spear in one hand and used the blade to block the ear blade of the Fangtian Halberd.
His right hand, palm facing out, enveloped the other fist of the Marquis of Yongli.
The situation instantly turned into a power struggle. For body cultivators, aside from supernatural powers and weapons, they could actually determine whose body cultivation was stronger simply by arm wrestling.
The difference in strength is immediately apparent upon contact.
Just as Marquis Yongli was about to suffer a complete defeat in the struggle, a knee strike covered in spikes came from the side, aiming at his waist.
"You can't touch this."
Wang Yu also raised his leg, spun around in mid-air, and fired a shot, aiming directly at the opponent's temple. The opponent flew sideways.
Yonglihou's knee strike missed, and he suddenly pulled back his right hand, raising his elbow to block the side kick. The two exchanged blows, and after a few moments of grappling, they quickly separated.
In terms of physical strength, with the added boost from the Extreme Yin Dragon Body state and his natal artifact, he was confident he could suppress Yongli Hou. However, the opponent's combat intelligence was extremely high, giving him no chance at all.
During the brief interval between rounds, the Blood and Flesh Demon Sword replaced the spear formed from black ice, and the spatial blade attached to it might be the key to victory.
The foundation provided by the tower spirit was good, but it still lacked spirit. The Marquis of Yongli was somewhat hollow, and the magic weapon in his hand was also quite ordinary.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
In the second round, Wang Yu changed his strategy.
To meet strength with strength, to meet hardness with hardness.
This move pushes the violence of a pure body cultivator to its extreme. It's a legitimate strategy, a crushing victory through sheer strength, and the fastest way to achieve it.
The difference began to emerge at this moment.
The fierce battle, which lasted for the time it takes to burn three incense sticks, temporarily ended with Yongli Hou losing an arm. After separating, the two entered the third round of fighting in just one breath.
This fighting style helps Wang Yu gradually solidify his qi and blood.
With each collision, both hands and feet ache, and the immense power of blood and qi contained in the Silver Blood Divine Marrow surges into the limbs and bones.
He continuously forged his immortal spiritual bones, gradually solidifying his foundation and increasing his physical cultivation. Combat truly is an excellent way for cultivators to improve their strength.
Having gained a decisive advantage, Wang Yu was no longer in a hurry.
It's a real pity to kill such a perfect training opponent. After all, there are very few beings in the current cultivation world whose physical bodies can rival his, and it's even more difficult to fight him frequently.
An hour later, Wang Yu was radiating heat.
Her face was slightly flushed after strenuous exercise, but the excitement hidden deep in her eyes was undeniable.
—It was really awesome!
"That's about enough. I'll make you the final boost to my journey into the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm."
The effect of the tempering was getting worse and worse, and Wang Yu made another move.
The blade of the Blood and Flesh Demon Sword was covered with a layer of visible silver light, and after clashing with the Fangtian Halberd several times, it fiercely cut it in two.
Demon Dragon Fist!
In his Extreme Yin Dragon form, Wang Yu threw a punch, and the Yinming Demon Dragon, whose size had increased to a thousand meters, flew out, slamming Yongli Hou into the air.
The "Power Field," a divine realm attribute associated with fourth-tier body refiners, exerted immense pressure on Yongli Hou, rendering him unable to move.
Sensitivity is significantly reduced.
The dark dragon, roaring straight into the sky, exploded instantly, turning into fireworks in the sky.
A moment later.
A dark shadow fell from the sky, and Wang Yu unleashed another sword beam, the blood line resembling a crack in the sky, instantly cleaving Yongli Hou in two.
"That's all there is to it."
Having passed the sixtieth level of the test, it's time to reap the rewards.
After conquering sixty floors, Wang Yu also discovered a problem.
His test intensity seemed a bit too low. Usually, only the tenth level of the major challenge would have a Nascent Soul cultivator as an opponent for the test. He suspected that it might be related to his age.
After all, a Nascent Soul cultivator who is over two hundred years old is extremely rare in any era, and this talent is enough to make him famous throughout history.
The chain reaction brought about by the stacking of the innate demonic fetus's spirit-level aptitude in the placement slots was actually more outstanding than he had imagined.
[Congratulations, cultivator, on passing the sixtieth level of the test. Please choose one of the following options to obtain...]
Without a doubt.
Wang Yu directly chose the reward of the Demonic Essence Infusion. The amount of three hundred drops increased in his Qi Sea, which seemed like a drop in the ocean and not worth mentioning, but in fact it caused a huge wave.
The current carrying capacity of the Qi Sea has reached its limit, and it will naturally begin to break through.
Prerequisites for the mid-stage of Nascent Soul.
He has met the standards for both Nascent Soul strength and Demonic Essence requirements, so this bottleneck is not a problem for him. He can simply complete the breakthrough step by step.
A mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator will begin to experience a surge in demonic energy within their body.
It will spontaneously complete a purification process, advancing from a "liquid state" to a "viscous state".
One can break through to the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage with 12,000 to 24,000 drops.
It takes 24,000 to 48,000 drops to break through to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage.
Finally, when the accumulation reaches 99,999 drops, it is the peak of the sixth level. To break through to the later stage, the strength of the Nascent Soul must keep up, and comprehending the meaning of the law is the best way to enhance the Nascent Soul.
At the same time, the demonic energy will solidify into demonic energy crystals, just like the golden core of a Core Formation cultivator, and its power will undergo earth-shattering changes.
With just a simple supernatural technique, he could crush someone in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
It's like the difference between Core Formation and Foundation Establishment.
At that time.
The surge in demonic energy provided an opportunity for Wang Yu to circulate the old, perfect version of the "Ice Soul Holy Demon Art." Once the technique was switched, its efficiency immediately increased.
The demonic energy surged ceaselessly through the meridians, and its power would increase after each major cycle.
In just half an hour.
The fluctuations in Wang Yu's aura had subsided, and his cultivation level had reached the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage. This small transformation from the early to the middle stage had resulted in a significant improvement in all aspects of his life.
Divine consciousness, physical body, soul, demonic energy... all are surging!
In particular, his physical body, after receiving feedback from the breakthrough in his realm, completely calmed down his unstable qi and blood, and became increasingly closer to the mid-stage of the fourth rank.
During the subsequent tower-climbing process, we should also be able to take the opportunity to break through.
After rising from his cross-legged position, Wang Yu closed his eyes and took a moment to feel his surroundings.
"My spiritual sense has reached the peak of the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage, and my body refinement is at the peak of the third level of the fourth stage... The strength of my Nascent Soul has also improved to some extent."
"Tower Spirit, continue!"
The sixty-first level challenge has begun, a brand new test mode, a place of oppressive power...
The test should be the cultivator's will and instinctive resistance.
This was almost effortless for Wang Yu.
…………
…………
Outside the Tianxing Tower, in front of the stone tablet.
Among Nascent Soul cultivators, Wang Yu was the first to be listed on the Heavenly Star Ranking. His age advantage was too great, and he could get a very high score bonus in the Tower Spirit Judgment.
Having climbed only the sixty-first floor, he had already entered the ranks of the last 1,500.
This achievement immediately surprised all parties involved.
As for this renowned "Number One Young Talent of the Crimson Kite," seeing is believing, and his achievements in the Heavenly Star Tower are the best proof. After all, the trials faced by Nascent Soul cultivators are completely different from those faced by Core Formation cultivators.
And the current generation of young people.
The younger generation was generally over a hundred years older than Wang Yu. The mainstream cultivation level for these young people was still in the late to peak stage of Core Formation, while Wang Yu had already soared to the mid-stage of Nascent Soul.
The gap has long been evident in every aspect. If we really consider the younger generation, the only ones who will suffer are the prodigies of various factions.
At the same time.
Yan Ling, a disciple of the Cold Blood Sect, who is far away at the mountain gate of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, is working hard to fulfill his promise to Wang Yu. There are only 130 years left until they agree to explore the Holy Lord's Heavenly Palace together.
Seventy years have passed since we parted ways in the Blood Abyss.
Since returning from the Blood Abyss, she has been preparing for Nascent Soul formation. The reason she missed the opportunity in Dongji Capital this time is probably because she was in seclusion breaking through her cultivation.
Twenty years had passed since she entered the Tribulation Cliff specially built by the sect. At that time, the Heavenly Star Tower was in turmoil, and the sect's Tribulation Cliff was also shrouded in dark clouds.
The long-awaited divine might descended upon this place.
Countless cultivators in the sect looked up towards the direction of the Tribulation Cliff. At this critical moment when the sect's disadvantages were becoming apparent, the newly emerged Nascent Soul cultivators could greatly boost morale.
Regardless of whether it's Chiyuan or Taihu, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators openly displayed is extremely small, generally only eleven or twelve.
The specific significance of this move is currently unclear.
However, Wang Yu felt it was related to the tacit understanding between the two Nascent Soul cultivators.
Starting tomorrow, we'll resume 8 AM to 8 PM!
