Yang Chen was quite surprised.
If the first twenty layers were a stage that the Spirit Martial Realm could break through, then in the past three thousand years, only the genius brought by the royal family when the Trial Tower was first built had completed the twentieth layer. Others had only reached the eighteenth layer at most, followed by the seventeenth, sixteenth, and fifteenth layers.
The top ten had only passed the thirteenth layer at the lowest.
From this, one could see how difficult it was to break through the Trial Tower. Each level had a very high threshold.
At least for now, the geniuses who had broken through the thirteenth layer were likely to have reached the half-step Origin Martial Realm in their Martial Arts Cultivation.
Steward Xu stroked his beard on the side. Although he had some ill intentions towards Yang Chen, he still had to answer the questions Yang Chen asked of him; otherwise, others would say that the Beishan Main City was stingy.
At this moment, seeing that Yang Chen had more or less understood, Steward Xu said with a smile, “How about it, Yang Chen, my friend? Do you understand now? The first twenty layers are the extreme limit of the Spirit Martial Realm. To cross this stage from the tenth to the twentieth layer, only those at the Ling Wu Realm Peak and Half-step Yuan Martial Realm can succeed. Although the strength of one’s Martial Arts Cultivation does not play a significant role in conquering the Trial Tower, it is still quite useful.”
“Oh?” Yang Chen nodded thoughtfully, “Then, the second stage, layers thirty and forty, can only be completed by Origin Martial Realm?”
“That’s correct.” Steward Xu said gently, “The thirty and forty layers also have recorded rankings, but they were all geniuses nurtured by the older generation of Beishan Main City. Now, they have become elders within the city, haha.”
Yang Chen could clearly hear the deep sense of pride and ostentation in Steward Xu’s words.
He carefully looked at the stele and more or less understood.
Each stage consisted of twenty layers.
The first twenty layers were for the Spirit Martial Realm.
Below that were twenty layers for the Origin Martial Realm.
Then, the next twenty layers were for the True Martial Realm.
Lastly, there were the Earth Martial Realm and Heaven Martial Realm.
However, looking at the towering number of layers in the Trial Tower, Yang Chen did not know how many layers the tower had in total.
Of course, from what Yang Chen understood, the Trial Tower couldn’t possibly accommodate Heaven Martial Realm level beings no matter how formidable it was.
The Heaven Martial Realm was at the top of the strong ones. It would already be the limit for the Trial Tower to train Earth Martial Realm warriors. For Heaven Martial Realm, it would be extremely difficult. If the Royal Family truly had such capability, they wouldn’t need to fear the Demon Beast Clan.
“Elder Xu, how many layers does the Trial Tower have in total?” Yang Chen asked.
“There are a total of eighty layers.” Steward Xu answered with a kind smile.
Yang Chen was now immune to Steward Xu’s pretentious smile. He asked, “I heard that breaking through the Trial Tower would have a significant effect on one’s cultivation. How exactly does it work?”
Although Yang Chen had extensive experience in his previous life, he had never formally been to the Trial Tower and didn’t know much about the details.
Steward Xu grinned, “Not only are there benefits, my young friend Yang Chen, but also for every layer you break through, your Martial Arts Cultivation will significantly improve. The higher you go, the more noticeable the improvement will be. When you reach the final layers, it may be possible to directly improve your Martial Arts Cultivation by a whole level.”
“What? There’s such a thing?” Yang Chen widened his eyes.
Elder Hu and Elder Yun behind Yang Chen also gulped. They had always known that the Trial Tower was valuable, but they never thought it would be this priceless.
Could breaking through the final layers have a direct effect on improving their Martial Arts Cultivation by one level?
Steward Xu said leisurely, “Well, my young friend Yang Chen, you don’t know that the Trial Tower was built by the royal family—who could be more generous than they are? At the base of the Trial Tower, there is a Creation Ancient Tree created by the Royal Family. While it does not compare to the original, it still inherits some of its effects.”
Yang Chen, however, was shocked by the words ‘Creation Ancient Tree.’
But upon hearing that it was man-made, he was relieved.
What was the Creation Ancient Tree?
As soon as the word ‘creation’ was involved, even an ant would become invaluable and incredibly extraordinary.
The Creation Ancient Tree, as the legend goes, was a magical tree from which one fruit alone could transform the person who consumed it into an unparalleled strongman. In his previous life, Yang Chen sought a Creation Ancient Tree’s fruit to cleanse his marrow and transform his body and attain Martial Arts.
However, there was no such thing as a true Creation Ancient Tree, and it couldn’t be found anywhere. In addition to the miraculous effects of the fruit, the tree had another function—it could help martial artists improve their cultivation level.
The Creation Ancient Tree contained the Creation Divine Aura. Refining this aura would greatly enhance one’s Martial Arts Cultivation. The more one refined, the more apparent the improvement!
He didn’t expect the Royal Family to be able to create a Creation Ancient Tree.
Although a man-made Creation Ancient Tree’s effects wouldn’t rival the real one, it was still extraordinary.”
Yang Chen had some understanding of it, but he didn’t admit it and asked respectfully, “Elder Xu, what is a Creation Ancient Tree?”
“Hehe, that’s a treasure. As long as you break through a layer, the prohibition will release the corresponding Creation Divine Aura for you according to the number of layers. How much you can refine is how much you can benefit,” replied Steward Xu.
Yang Chen narrowed his eyes, “What if the younger generation breaks through a second time? Wouldn’t they be able to repeatedly get the Creation Divine Aura?”
“Hehe, then you’re thinking too much. Do you think the prohibition in the Trial Tower is a joke? Every time you break through a layer, you have to drip a drop of your essence blood into the Prohibited Stone Disk on that layer before you can move on. Once you’ve dripped your blood on a layer, the Creation Divine Aura will not be given to you again. The prohibition will determine how many layers you’ve broken through in the Trial Tower based on your essence blood,” Steward Xu said with a thief-like smile.
Yang Chen knew that taking shortcuts was nearly impossible.
Steward Xu continued, “What do you think, Yang Chen, my friend? Are you tempted to try breaking through? Haha, after all, you have countless opportunities, and no one is breaking through the Trial Tower right now. Considering your talent, I think breaking through seven or eight layers should not be a difficult task, even if it’s your first attempt.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen knew that Steward Xu was planning something malicious again.
Although he was unclear about how high the threshold was for the seventh or eighth layer, he could see the changing expressions of the geniuses next to him and knew that Steward Xu had put him in the spotlight again with just one sentence.
My recovery is almost complete, and for the next few days, I will update three times a day, with a burst of updates on the 26th or 27th. The scale is something everyone knows already. I will not reduce the updates, so just wait and see.
