On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

Chapter 302: Other opportunity; Tower of heaven

Regardless, back to the important thing, Xu Zhiyuan revealed that all high-level continents don't really care about someone's continent rank.

In the end, everything is a lie. And the continent ranks were only put there for the sake of appearances, to create a sense of competition and hierarchy among the continents.

"Since it's all about pretense, who created these ranks in the first place?" Chen Tian, filled with skepticism, questioned who originally created these ranks.

Xu Zhiyuan's expression turned grim as he pondered the question.

"Maybe it's best not to talk about it," Xu Zhiyuan finally replied. Clearly, Xu Zhiyuan didn't want to discuss it further.

Chen Tian nodded in understanding, sensing that there was more to the story than Xu Zhiyuan was letting on.

Although he decided to temporarily set the topic aside, a seed of doubt continued to linger in Chen Tian's mind.

Chen Tian observed that even Xu Zhiyuan seemed unable to elaborate on the topic, despite his desire to do so.

Seeing Chen Tian look skeptical, Xu Zhiyuan's expression changed, and he spoke.

"It's too early for you guys to know everything. Some things are better left unsaid for now. Maybe when you kids reach the Dao Fusion Realm, I will explain the whole story. But until then, trust that there are reasons for keeping certain information hidden."

"Mm… can I ask about that event that you spoke about earlier?" Su Bingxin asked; she had already sensed something was wrong and wanted to change the subject.

Su Bingxin's question redirected the discussion from the mysterious topic, prompting a visible sense of relief in Xu Zhiyuan.

He began with a smile, addressing the event.

"It's just a small event where a few disciples were given the chance to gain several opportunities.

Opportunities that could potentially change their lives forever," Xu Zhiyuan continued, his smile widening.

"Every 100 years, there is a realm that opens for a brief period of time, allowing those chosen disciples to enter and seek their destiny."

Xu Zhiyuan began explaining the significance of this realm and how it was a rare and sacred opportunity for those who were fortunate enough to be selected.

Only those who are 50 years of age or younger can enter that realm, and one shouldn't have the cultivation of Dao Fusion or above, or else they would be disqualified and would be rejected by the realm.

He described that many treasures were born there, and that those lucky enough to be able to obtain them often rose to great power and influence in the world.

The more he spoke, the more Chen Tian and Su Bingxin became intrigued and excited, especially Wu Ye.

'Chen Tian, you definitely need to enter that realm, maybe you can find one of these treasures, or ingredients that would help in creating a body for me!' Wu Ye shouted in his mind.

'I will,' Chen Tian replied confidently.

He was also interested in this realm, even if he didn't need any treasures, his wives would need them for their cultivation.

"Hahaha, I can already feel how excited both of you are, but that is not all this realm can offer." Xu Zhiyuan smiled knowingly.

"What can it offer?" Chen Tian asked eagerly, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"This realm also possesses the ability to give a cultivator the chance to grasp the true essence of Dao and advance in their path towards the Dao Fusion Realm.

There are places inside the realm where the power of the laws and dao are condensed to create unique pools; we call them enlightenment pools," Xu Zhiyuan explained.

'Enlightenment pools!' Both Wu Ye and Chen Tian exclaimed together, recognizing the rare opportunity these pools presented. Stay connected with ???

Enlightenment pools are highly condensed reservoirs of energy filled with intents that can greatly enhance one's understanding and mastery of the laws, or dao.

It depends on the intent inside the pool. If the pool contains Dao intent, one can attain a deeper understanding of the Dao, while if it contains Law Intent, one can only gain insights into the laws.

This was a great place for Chen Tian, who will have many laws in the future, since even he was not confident in advancing all his laws to their peak.

His fire law was only 19%, and his lightning law was 45% and will still grow as he gets stronger. The difference between his lightning law and his fire law was evident.

When Chen Tian got other crystals of different laws, he would be stuck in a dilemma about which law to focus on first.

Most cultivators focus on 3 or 4 laws, but Chen Tian has to manage 11 different laws.

'I definitely need to enter that realm!' Chen Tian made up his mind.

"But that's not the most important thing right now," Xu Zhiyuan suddenly said, interrupting Chen Tian's train of thought.

"Is there something more important there, Master Xu?" Su Bingxin asked, and like Chen Tian, she herself was shocked by what Xu Zhiyuan said.

If this was true, then the competition to enter such a place is going to be fierce.

"Yes, there is," Xu Zhiyuan replied, his eyes serious.

"Every time the realm opens up for 4 days, countless cultivators from all corners of the world will gather in hopes of entering and gaining opportunities.

But after the four days, a spatial rift will appear, sending all the cultivators to another dimension inside the realm.

This realm is known as the Tower of Heaven."

"Tower of heaven?"

Xu Zhiyuan nodded solemnly. "Yes, no one knows who created this tower, but it is said to hold unimaginable treasures and secrets, and there are rumors that there is an immortal inheritance hidden, but unfortunately, no one knows if it's true."

Hearing Xu Zhiyuan's words, Su Bingxin was surprised, but not too much as she remembered the inheritance she had received.

She didn't know its exact rank, but she knew that it was on the same level as an immortal inheritance, or better.

As for Chen Tian and Wu Ye, both of them weren't interested in this immortal inheritance and were more curious about the tower itself.

Xu Zhiyuan continued to explain that this Tower of Heaven had 99 floors, each with its own rewards.

Many geniuses try to reach the top, but only a few have succeeded.

Xu Zhiyuan also said that the highest floor anyone had reached was 88.

With so many rewards and opportunities waiting for him in this realm, Chen Tian was now more determined to enter that place.

So he asked Xu Zhiyuan how they could enter that realm.

"There is only one way to enter that realm," Xu Zhiyuan explained.

"Before the realm opens, a competition will be held to determine who has the potential to enter. But only Core Disciples will have the chance to participate in this competition. Every sect can only allow 20 disciples to be chosen to enter the realm."

Chen Tian nodded in understanding. If he wanted to become a core disciple, then he needed to defeat all outer and inner disciples.

"Can I ask about the cultivation levels of the core disciples?" Chen Tian inquired.

Xu Zhiyuan nodded, explaining that the weakest Core Disciple is at the 5th stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, while the strongest is at the 9th stage of the Soul Formation Realm level.

Chen Tian understood the necessity of accelerating his cultivation to compete with the core disciples and improve his chances of entering the realm.

Su Bingxin's cultivation will also need to be accelerated for her to stand a chance against them.

Lucky for him, he has a way to do that.

If Chen Tian obtains a Yang treasure like the Netherworld Profound Yin Pearl, he can use its power to accelerate his cultivation when dual cultivating.

But it is easier said than done, as obtaining such a rare treasure would be no easy feat. He was fortunate to come across a Netherworld-profound Yin Pearl in this world.

'I should make a plan on how to increase my level faster. For now, I should return to Earth; it's been a while since I left,' he thought to himself as he closed his eyes and focused on returning.

"Now that everything I should say is done here, it's time to focus on your cultivation." Xu Zhiyuan spoke.

His eyes then landed on Su Bingxin, making her slightly nervous.

"This kid's cultivation progress isn't bad, neither is yours, but Chen Tian's foundation is highly better than yours. That is why I decided, starting today, I will be teaching you personally to help you catch up."

"Th-Thank you, Master Xu!" Su Bingxin stammered, feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety at the thought of receiving personal instruction from such a highly skilled cultivator as Xu Zhiyuan.

"What about me?" Chen Tian pointed at himself with a puzzled expression.

Xu Zhiyuan chuckled and replied, "You, my boy, can do whatever you want, your foundation is solid, and you already have your sword aura to the peak, so there is no need for me to personally teach you for now."

"…"

"Fine," Chen Tian nodded, also feeling that he couldn't be happier. Didn't that mean he was free to do whatever he wanted.

Now that Xu Zhiyuan is with Su Bingxin, Chen Tian can finally relax, with him here, nothing should happen to her.

Having concluded everything, Chen Tian decided to return to Earth. He still needed to give the cultivation techniques to Emilia and Aria.

Both girls were stuck in their cultivation progress, it was time that both made some progress. He also had to face Leng Zhiqing.

He wondered what she would do if she found his relationship with Aria.
