Chapter 252: Chapter 172: Ye Chanxi’s Approval!
Translator: 549690339
Before him, heaven geniuses at the fifth level of the Divine Bridge Realm could traverse half of the journey.
And his strength was at the ninth level of the Divine Bridge Realm, equivalent to a mediocre Dharma Realm. To say he wasn’t powerful would be an understatement.
Everyone was under the impression that he would certainly step into the Dragon Palace, obtaining the most precious items of the Pearl Cave.
The Hegemonic Blade Sect could even become the strongest power in the Qianyuan Kingdom by virtue of him, surpassing the existence of the Qianyuan Imperial Family.
Heaven geniuses who could step into the third inner circle had all come to the seaside to watch his path to the Dragon Palace.
But at the very moment he stepped into the core level, his complexion visibly changed.
He grew more and more terrified, sensing an overwhelming pressure like he was carrying a mountain on his shoulders.
However, several heaven geniuses were watching him with anticipation, leaving him no way to back down.FOlloow 𝒏ewest stories at n𝒐(v)el/bi/n(.)com
Under their gaze, the heaven genius refused to back down and forced himself further into the Dragon Palace.
In the end, he fell onto the sea’s surface, his blood splattering on the sea, powerless to retreat back.
Since then, a tale began to circulate.
The existence of powerful beings in the Dharma Realm could not possibly enter the Dragon Palace.
However, those major powers know that this is not the case.
The most core part operates under entirely different rules.
The older one is, the more terrifying the pressure faced. Conversely, the younger one is, the lesser the pressure faced.
But to penetrate from the outer three layers into the Pearl Cave and enter the first core layer, each step deeper faced more terrifying suppression from the cave power.
The encountered beasts are also stronger.
Starting from the third core layer, these territories have constantly transforming high-level demons. Top-tier Spiritual Sea Realm heaven geniuses are the only ones who can seize opportunities at this layer.
Most opportunities are guarded by a ferocious beast.
These are the rules of the Pearl Cave, reshaped by that Saint from the human race.
As for the second core layer, it is even more terrifying, with the third-class transforming great beasts possibly appearing.
Although they have been washed by resentment and have lost their spiritual intelligence, they can only act on their instincts. Even a heaven genius who has just entered the Divine Bridge Realm would find it difficult to deal with them.
In the first core layer, there are beasts at the fifth level of the Transfiguration Realm.
Even though those who can enter the Pearl Cave are young heaven geniuses of extraordinary strength,
if they have only just entered the Divine Bridge Realm and come across such beasts, they can only keep their distance.
Not to mention defeating them, let alone killing them.
Even if they have lost their spiritual intelligence, the path to cultivation is getting wider with each step taken, and the difference between each step is growing.
The difference even within the Divine Bridge Realm is extremely evident.
Let alone the difference between four realms of cultivation.
The bodies of the Demon Tribe are inherently strong. With the fifth level of the Transfiguration Realm, they are inherently invincible.
Only a handful have been able to enter this layer throughout history.
This is also the layer with the most natural treasures and large amounts of great medicines aged over a thousand years are gathered here from time to time.
The opportunities contained in this layer are also the most!
Further inside is a vast inner sea, where the Dragon Palace is located.
Everyone speculated that the Saint must have left something inside, containing a great secret.
From the emergence of the Pearl Cave till now, over a hundred years have passed.
If there were more than a dozen openings, no one below the Divine Bridge Realm had ever reached the first inner layer.
Just the suppression of the first inner layer alone was enough to render them incapable of moving any further. Not to mention the beasts equivalent to high-level transforming demons, which are enough to cause their downfall at this place.
So, only the heaven geniuses of the Divine Bridge Realm could possibly step into the core of the Pearl Cave.
They have also discovered that the greatest suppression from the Pearl Cave is directed at the physical body.
Those with weaker physical bodies would find it even more difficult to step into the core place – the Dragon Palace.
Zhou Qiu, born with extraordinary physical growth and outstanding cultivation talents, was the heaven genius who was nurtured by the Qianyuan Imperial Family.
He was only thirty-seven years old but has already achieved the third level of the Divine Bridge Realm. He was irresistibly powerful.
With his strength, in the eyes of the Qianyuan Imperial Family, he was enough to eliminate all enemies.
He could amass vast resources. With a year’s time, achieving the fifth level of the Divine Bridge Realm would be enough, and if his luck was exceptionally good, he might even have a chance to achieve the sixth level of the Divine Bridge Realm.
With his strong physique and his age of thirty-seven, the King of Divine Power held high expectations for him.
There must be treasures hidden inside the Dragon Palace.
When the Saint of the Human Race had left behind the Pearl Cave, he must have had a profound implication.
The middle-aged man holding the knife looked at the King of Divine Power and said, “Zhou Wei, if your nephew Zhou Qiu wants to be invincible, let him defeat my disciple Song Que first!”
The King of Divine Power glanced at him dismissively, “Lin Yuqing might pose some threat to my nephew Zhou Qiu, Song Que? Forget it!”
“Let’s wait and see!” declared the middle-aged man holding the knife confidently.
As Ye Chanxi saw these two quarreling, the corner of her mouth curved into a smile.
“Compared to the two you mentioned, I’m more interested in Jiang Yuan of the Supreme Mystery Sect!” she said nonchalantly.
“Don’t you agree, Sect Leader Lu?” She directed this question towards Lu Qingshan in the distance.
Suddenly, all eyes were drawn to Lu Qingshan. Sweat dripped down the face of Liu Chuyi who was standing beside him.
Even the gazes of those in the Dharma Realm, including those of the East Sea Demon Tribe, converged upon them.
The pressure was intense, making him feel a creeping sense of dread.
Looking at Ye Chanxi’s inscrutable smile, Lu Qingshan could only respond with a bitter one of his own. “Sect Master overestimates him. Jiang Yuan doesn’t compare to the others. He merely achieved the Spiritual Sea Realm. Zhou Qiu, Song Que and Lin Yuqing have long since achieved the Divine Bridge Realm.”
Ye Chanxi gave a faint smile, “I really do think so! He is my most promising heaven genius, I have reviewed his past!”
“In just over one year, he has transitioned from the meridian breaking realm to the spiritual sea realm. I estimate that his current cultivation is not less than the sixth rank of the Spiritual Sea Realm.”
“Don’t you think so, Sect Leader Lu?” She directed the question at Lu Qingshan again, her tone a certainty.
Faced with the question from the mysterious leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Lu Qingshan felt a chill creep up his spine.
Although he was aware of Jiang Yuan’s approximate cultivation level, he didn’t want to announce it publicly.
Overly talented individuals tend to invite suppression, even assassination, from the multitude.
Even more so now, with the looming unrest in the Qianyuan Kingdom, suggesting an imminent outbreak.
He wanted to casually evade the question and dismiss the matter.
But those of the Demon Cult were unpredictable, and this Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, a woman, was even more so.
Hence, Lu Qingshan reluctantly agreed, “Sect Master is indeed correct, he is at the sixth rank of the Spiritual Sea Realm.”
His response made islanders gasp in shock.
“Hiss! Jiang Yuan’s progress is so legendary? From meridian breaking realm to the spiritual sea realm in just over a year, and now he has a cultivation level of the sixth rank of the Spiritual Sea Realm. He truly is terrifying!”
“Yes! Had it not been for the Sect Master’s revelation, I wouldn’t have paid attention to his past!”
“Seeing this, he is indeed a top heaven genius! No wonder the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect has high hopes for him!”
Someone immediately rebutted, “True, but given this journey to the Pearl Cave, he is still far behind compared to Zhou Qiu, Song Que and Lin Yuqing. After all, he is far too young.”
“Indeed, he’s too young!” Someone nodded in agreement, and added, “The Pearl Cave that will open again ten years from now, that will be his moment! Given his current cultivation at the sixth rank of the Spiritual Sea Realm. Within a year, he should be able to easily achieve the Spiritual Sea Realm Nine Rank, but to advance further and achieve the Divine Bridge Realm, that might not be so simple!”
“Well said! The bottleneck of the Spiritual Sea Realm is not so easily broken. It’s not unusual for one to spend a year or two to achieve the Unity of Heaven and Man, and some people have wasted their entire life in this.”
“Sounds logical, moreover, even if Jiang Yuan reaches the Divine Bridge Realm in a few months, by then Zhou Qiu will probably have achieved the fifth rank of the Divine Bridge Realm. Song Que and Lin Yuqing will probably be at the third or fourth rank of the Divine Bridge Realm too. They have much superior inheritances than the Supreme Mystery Sect, and their cultivation techniques and secret techniques are far superior to Jiang Yuan’s. In this scenario, how can Jiang Yuan, the young heaven genius, possibly stand a chance against these experienced Divine Bridge Realm cultivators.”
On this matter, everyone held the same opinion.
The Pearl Cave ten years from now, that shall be the moment for Jiang Yuan to shine.
By then, he might have the opportunity to enter the core of the Pearl Cave.
At his current strength, it would be difficult for him to make use of such an opportunity within a year.
After all, the time needed to break through from the sixth to the ninth rank in Spiritual Sea Realm is several times more than from the first to the sixth rank.
But when the knife-wielding man heard Lu Qingshan’s words, he furrowed his brows.
He was a bit shocked and quite aware of the fact that the most crucial thing about the trials in the core of the Pearl Cave was age and strength. For someone like Jiang Yuan who is young, if he could achieve the Divine Bridge Realm in the Pearl Cave,
As long as he was cautious and meticulous, he might gain the opportunity to enter the very core of the Pearl Cave, the Dragon Palace.
This was not impossible.
As the Sect Master of Heavenly Demon Sect had said,
In just over a year, Jiang Yuan had advanced from the initial meridian breaking realm to the sixth rank of the Spiritual Sea Realm, or perhaps even higher.
This indicates that he is of immense talent and possesses great qi movement.
With great qi movement, the rewards he’ll reap from the Pearl Cave would indeed be much greater than others.
He might not be without a chance to break through to the Divine Bridge Realm in the remaining year.
Someone less than twenty years old who has achieved the realm of the Divine Bridge is unprecedented in the history of Qianyuan Kingdom.
Given his age when he steps on the sea surface, the pressure he would face would be much less than Zhou Qiu, Lin Yuqing and Song Que.
As such, he must be the one with the greatest chance of reaching the Dragon Palace.
However, the King of Divine Power shook his head lightly and said, “You’re overthinking! Advancing from the sixth rank to the seventh, the seventh rank to the eighth, and the eighth rank to the ninth in the Spiritual Sea Realm, each advancement requires twice as many resources and time. In just one year, not only does he have to reach the ninth rank of the Spiritual Sea Realm, he also has to make a breakthrough to the Divine Bridge Realm. How could that possibly be achieved!”
“Moreover, it won’t be that simple for someone at the first rank of the Divine Bridge Realm to reach the edge of the Inner Sea.”
The King of Divine Power didn’t worry at all. In his eyes, there was no way Jiang Yuan could step into the core area of the Dragon Palace.
Even with the strength, Zhou Qiu and the others wouldn’t just sit back and watch.
This has become an unspoken rule.
Why would they allow him to have the greatest opportunity in the Pearl Cave?
Song Que also snapped out of his thoughts, thought for a while and let go of the worry in his heart.
Then he nodded indifferently and said, “Indeed.”
Ye Chanxi gave a gentle smile, “Don’t make conclusions too soon. Your perspectives are too shallow!”
After saying this, she lost interest to pay mind to these two.
