Chu Tianyao walked step by step up the Thunder Cloud Ladder...
Thunderclouds rolled all around, constantly impacting Chu Tianyao's body, but they did not cause him any harm.
On the contrary, after these thunderclouds entered Chu Tianyao's body, they began to continuously temper his physical body.
During the entire process of climbing the Thunder Cloud Ladder, Chu Tianyao's body underwent a complete transformation.
Although Chu Tianyao had already entered the Nascent Soul Realm three days ago with the help of the system.
Furthermore, he did indeed possess the combat power of the Nascent Soul Realm!
It was precisely with this combat power that Chu Tianyao almost swept through the True Realm in a single day.
He first destroyed the Northern Wolf Lord, then destroyed the Demon Clan's Pagoda, and finally helped Xiao Ruoli completely destroy the Qionghuang Dynasty.
But in reality, Chu Tianyao wasn't yet at the fully developed Nascent Soul stage at that time...
He possessed the offensive power of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, but lacked the physique or defensive capabilities of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
However, Chu Tianyao was too domineering at the time...
The cultivators of the lower realms were powerless against him, so this situation was not revealed.
Even Chu Tianyao himself was unaware of this situation...
Only now, having completed the trek of the Thunder Cloud Ladder, has Chu Tianyao's physique been completely tempered to the level of the Divine Transformation Realm.
As Chu Tianyao sensed the changes in his body, he murmured to himself, "With my current physique... a mere gesture is enough to cause the Lower Realm to collapse!"
There is a very clear "boundary" between the Upper Realm and the Lower Realm!
A very intuitive standard for measuring this "limit" is the strength of the physical body.
The physical strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator is too great for the lower True Realm to withstand... it would cause the realm to collapse.
However, if one's physical body does not reach the Nascent Soul stage... even if one's primordial spirit and killing power both reach the Nascent Soul stage, one still cannot survive in the Upper Realm!
Upon arriving in the Upper Realm, Chu Tianyao felt as if he had stepped into a completely new world.
"The spatial gravity, spiritual energy intensity, and air pressure here are on a completely different level from those in the Lower Realm."
This was Chu Tianyao's first impression upon stepping into the Upper Realm.
Just as he was still experiencing this new world, a cold voice rang out.
"Thunderclouds are rumbling, are you a cultivator from the Lower Realm?"
Chu Tianyao looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged scholar in front of him.
He was holding a roster in his hand, seemingly making some kind of registration!
Chu Tianyao's expression changed. "This person's cultivation... has actually reached the Void Refinement stage..."
At that moment, Chu Tianyao cupped his hands in greeting to the middle-aged scholar and said, "This... senior, I come from the Lower Realm."
The cultivator at the Refinement Realm nodded. "I am a guide from the Upper Realm. I am responsible for guiding cultivators from the Lower Realm."
"Your name and age, I need to register them."
Chu Tianyao said, "My name is Chu Tianyao, I am twenty-one years old, and I am a rogue cultivator from the Lower Realm."
"Hmm?!" The Refining Void Guide looked up at Chu Tianyao, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"A mere rogue cultivator, at the age of twenty-one, has managed to stand out from the lower realms; he certainly has some talent."
The Refining Void Guide pondered for a moment, "However, this young man is so promising at such a young age, he is bound to be impetuous. It is still necessary to arrange for him to go to a dangerous place... to temper himself."
Thinking of this, the Refining Void Guide spoke up, "Let me explain the rules: cultivators who come from the Lower True Realm to the Upper True Realm..."
"You will all need to enter specific places to do labor. If you perform well during this period, you will be sent to various sects."
Chu Tianyao's expression changed slightly. He thought to himself, "What the hell? I swept through the lower realms... how come I'm being treated like a beast of burden now that I'm in the Upper Realm?!"
"Still working? Why don't you just fly to the moon?"
That's what I thought, but I was constrained by the other party's cultivation level...
Chu Tianyao asked, "Senior... how long does this kind of work usually take?"
The Refining Void Guide slowly said, "It will take at least a hundred years, and at most a thousand years."
Chu Tianyao felt his face turn green. He cursed inwardly, "Damn it! A Nascent Soul cultivator only needs two thousand years of lifespan... and you're telling me it's a hundred years at the fastest, a thousand years at the slowest?!"
“If I weren’t a newcomer to this True Realm and my cultivation level weren’t inferior to yours, I would definitely slap you to death.”
Chu Tianyao took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
"Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it... After all, I possess the Yin-Yang Derivation Heaven Technique, so I can earn Derivation Points every day without even lying down."
"The Upper Realm is full of geniuses. It may not be a bad thing to play it safe and develop in the early stages... slowly improving your realm."
Thinking of this, Chu Tianyao said to the Refinement Void Guide, "I will follow your arrangements, senior..."
The Refining Void Guide nodded, thinking to himself, "Many people from the Lower Realm are arrogant and don't cooperate with my arrangements... so I just casually slapped them to death."
"This young man is not arrogant or impatient... It seems he is indeed a rough gem!"
"A rough gem needs to be polished... so let's send him to the most dangerous region for training."
The Refinement Guide glanced at Chu Tianyao and said calmly, "Come with me!"
A moment later, the Refining Void Guide arrived at a mountain range that exuded spiritual energy.
"The spiritual energy here is incredibly abundant... and the mountains contain rich mineral deposits..."
Chu Tianyao was astonished. "The Upper Realm is completely different from the Lower Realm... The Upper Realm is rich in spiritual energy, and the treasure mines within this mountain range are of immeasurable value!"
"In comparison... even Nascent Soul level magical artifacts in the Lower Realm are like scrap metal..."
