Chapter 1789 - 1790: Yunluo Holy Land!
"Ahem!"
Ao Jue cleared his throat, then said loudly, "First of all, congratulations to all of you for obtaining the qualification to enter the Tower of Apocalypse. You will have three days to cultivate inside the Tower of Apocalypse."
Many people in the courtyard showed more or less a trace of joy, especially Xiao Zhantian. He had bought this slot, so this was actually his first time getting the qualification to enter the Tower of Apocalypse.
"Haha, when I go back to the Xiao Family this time, I’m definitely going to make that old man look at me in a new light!"
Xiao Zhantian clenched his fist, muttering in his heart: I, Xiao Zhantian, might be a wastrel, but I’ve still got my ambitions!
"Alright, next, please follow me into the Transmission Array. Through this Transmission Array, you’ll be sent directly to Yunluo Sacred Land."
With the Heavenly Enlightenment Selection over, Ao Jue and the others would naturally return to Yunluo Sacred Land as well; there was no need to stay in Tianyun Holy City any longer.
After speaking, Ao Jue took the lead and jumped into the array, followed by Yuee HuaQin and Wang Qian.
Most of the people present were already familiar with this process and just silently followed in. Xiao Zhantian also rushed to the front with great interest, but halfway there he turned back toward Ling Feng, grinning. "Brother Ling, I’ll go with you!"
Ling Feng pouted slightly and didn’t speak, just silently following at the very end of the line.
...
Light and Dark twisted and flickered before their eyes. No one knew how long had passed when their vision suddenly brightened and everyone jumped out of the Time-Space Channel.
Yunluo Sacred Land, they were finally here!
Taking a deep breath of fresh air, Ling Feng couldn’t help but sigh that Yunluo Sacred Land truly deserved to be called a Holy Land. The concentration of Heaven and Earth Qi here was more than ten times higher than in Tianyun Holy City.
However, Ling Feng had long since grown used to cultivating in Elder Turtle’s hot spring. This little bit of nature’s spiritual energy wasn’t enough to catch his Dharma Eye at all.
With Ao Jue and the others leading the way, naturally no one would obstruct this group.
Very soon, Ao Jue brought everyone to the front of a tall tower and said in a loud voice, "Same old rules. For the next three days, the Tower of Apocalypse will be open to you. These are Temporary Pass Tokens. As long as you keep the Token on you, you can pass through the Defensive Magic Array and enter the Tower of Apocalypse."
As he spoke, Ao Jue distributed ten Bronze Tokens. When he came to Ling Feng, he even patted Ling Feng’s shoulder lightly and said with a smile, "Brother Ling, although the Tower of Apocalypse is only a cultivation treasure ground for the Outer Sect, the first time you enter it, you’ll generally still gain something."
"Mm, I understand."
Ling Feng nodded with a slight smile. He could figure it out with his toes: any cultivation treasure ground open to outsiders would, at best, be an Outer Sect treasure ground. The Inner Sect cultivation grounds were reserved for Direct Disciples and those of even higher status.
At this time, quite a few Outer Disciples of Yunluo Sacred Land had already gathered around, seemingly just to watch the fun.
Every three years, a batch of Loose Cultivators would enter the Tower of Apocalypse, so they were already used to this sort of thing.
But Loose Cultivators were, in the end, still Loose Cultivators. At the same realm, they could completely crush these Loose Cultivators in seconds.
Only Loose Cultivators like the Palace Master of Jueshen Palace and Fung Yiqiu, whose strength had reached the Early Stage Emperor, could barely earn a bit of their respect.
"Alright, you can all go in now!"
As Ao Jue’s voice fell, the ten Martial Artists clutched the Temporary Pass Tokens in their hands and lined up to enter the Tower of Apocalypse one by one.
After everyone had entered the Tower of Apocalypse, the Outer Disciples finally began to discuss noisily.
"Heh, a bunch of Loose Cultivators actually think they can clear the tower? I’d say only that Palace Master of Jueshen Palace has a chance to reach the Seventh Floor. As for the others, even the Sixth Level is probably a stretch."
"Loose Cultivators are still Loose Cultivators. Their Talent and Cultivation Techniques are too limited."
"A single chance to challenge the tower costs thirty thousand Sect Contribution Points, giving it to these guys is really a waste."
Some Disciples were disdainful, while others were envious. After all, even as Outer Disciples, they needed to stockpile a massive amount of Sect Contribution Points to enter the Tower of Apocalypse.
Standing to the side, Ao Jue and the other two couldn’t help but secretly find these discussions amusing.
The strongest Sunset Chosen One can only barely reach the Sixth Level when he challenges the tower?
As expected, before their words even finished, a golden light suddenly shone on the Second Level of the Tower of Apocalypse. This meant that someone had already stepped into the Second Level.
"Huh? What’s going on, less than three breaths and someone already reached the Second Level?"
"N–no way, right?"
Then, golden light flashed on the Third Level—someone had entered the Third Level!
"What the hell?"
The Fourth Floor lit up!
"That’s impossible!"
The Fifth Floor lit up!
In less than ten breaths, five floors in a row!
One Outer Disciple of Yunluo Sacred Land after another stared with wide eyes. For these three days the Tower of Apocalypse was temporarily closed to Outer Disciples and left only to these ten winners of the Heavenly Enlightenment Selection. So the one clearing the tower could only be one of those ten who had just entered.
"This speed..."
Everyone swallowed with difficulty. The Tower of Apocalypse had a total of nine floors. With each floor climbed, one’s perception toward various Attribute Power would deepen by ten percent.
If one reached the 9th Floor, their comprehension of Attribute Rules would be boosted to a terrifying threefold!
Moreover, it was said that those who could clear the 9th Floor in a single attempt on their first challenge would even have a chance to comprehend a secret technique!
Yet even within the entire Yunluo Sacred Land, geniuses capable of that level could be counted on one hand.
Amidst everyone’s shock, the Sixth Level and the Seventh Floor flashed with golden light in succession. The challenger in the lead had already entered the space of the Eighth Floor.
Meanwhile, the rest of the challengers had only reached, at best, the Third Level.
"That guy is a total freak!"
Ao Jue shook his head, thinking back to his own first time challenging the tower, that scene...
"Heh heh... where did I get the courage to compare myself to that guy... I don’t dare, I really don’t dare!"
Ao Jue smiled bitterly. For the first time, when facing another Martial Artist, he didn’t even have the courage to compare himself.
Wang Qian lightly patted his own forehead, his eyes a bit vacant.
Perhaps this was what they called doubting life.
As for Yuee HuaQin, her beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement: There probably wouldn’t be anyone in this world more outstanding than him.
...
Inside the Tower of Apocalypse.
Ling Feng had no idea what a huge stir he’d kicked up outside.
"Damn, this is way too easy. Where’s the challenge?"
Ling Feng was a bit speechless. With Dragon Elephant Divine Power roaring, he blasted apart one opponent in front of him. Sword Force surged out, locking onto the three opponents behind him. At the same time, he unleashed the Nihility Dual Blades, Silent Annihilation Sky Star Flow erupted, grinding the four enemies flanking him from both sides into dust.
Bang, bang, bang!
In no more than ten moves, the eight opponents with Initial Stage Emperor strength were all shock-killed by Ling Feng.
After entering the Tower of Apocalypse, Ling Feng felt himself arrive in an independent space, where a single illusionary opponent stood before him with cultivation at the level of an Extreme First Rank Human Emperor.
On the Second Level there were two, and their cultivation rose to Extreme Second Stage Emperor.
Then the further he went, the more opponents there were, and their Cultivation Realm steadily increased as well.
By the time he reached the Eighth Floor, there were eight Great Emperor opponents who had already reached the Third Level of the Heavenly Destiny Realm.
Unfortunately for them, facing Ling Feng, who had already begun to grasp the Sword Domain, group attacks didn’t have any real meaning at all.
