Bai Ye Ascends the Tower

"The God Transformation Tower has opened!"

The cultivators erupted instantly, surging toward the tower's entrance.

The first to step through the tower gate was an Early Primordial Core cultivator. No sooner had he entered than a faint white light lit up the window lattice of the first floor, signaling that he had successfully cleared the first level.

Bai Ye did not rush in. Instead, he stood still, silently observing the situation.

More and more cultivators entered the tower. The window lattices of the first floor, the second floor... the eighth floor, the ninth floor—all lit up with white light in succession!

But the window lattice of the tenth floor remained dark.

Clearly, every cultivator who had entered was stuck at the tenth floor.

"As expected, every ten floors is a threshold." Bai Ye understood in his heart.

According to the records left by predecessors in the Azure Cloud Sect, the Mirror Opponent on the tenth floor of the God Transformation Tower was several times stronger than the one on the ninth floor!

Those who could break through were at least geniuses with the potential to reach Nascent Soul.

As for the opponent on the twentieth floor, they were absurdly powerful!

And the thirtieth floor—from ancient times to the present, no one had ever touched it.

Thus, the situation of the opponent on the thirtieth floor remained unknown.

Two hours passed.

The white light on the ninth floor had flickered dozens of times, but the tenth floor still showed no movement.

The cultivators began to grow restless. Some came out of the tower sighing, clearly having failed their challenge.

Just then, the window lattice of the tenth floor suddenly blazed with a dazzling white light!

"It lit up! The tenth floor lit up!"

"Who is it? Who cleared the tenth floor?"

"I saw the Ninth Prince of the Skywind Dynasty, Li Chengze, go in! It must be him!"

The crowd exploded into commotion, all turning to look toward the tower entrance.

Sure enough, not long after, Li Chengze, clad in a pure white robe, walked out of the tower.

His expression was calm, with a hint of pride at the corner of his mouth, clearly satisfied with his achievement.

"As expected of a genius blessed with a Wind Spirit Physique!" someone exclaimed. "I've heard that the Wind Spirit Physique only grows stronger over time. Li Chengze is only at Mid Primordial Core now—if he reaches Late Primordial Core, he might even clear the fifteenth floor!"

Hearing the praise around him, the pride in Li Chengze's eyes deepened, but he said nothing. He found a corner, sat cross-legged, and seemed to be recovering his Spiritual Energy.

Just then, a crisp female voice rang out, laced with disdain: "Clearing the tenth floor is worth all this fuss? These natives of Azure State really are frogs at the bottom of a well."

Bai Ye followed the sound and saw a man and a woman standing at the edge of the crowd.

The woman was about sixteen or seventeen, dressed in a pink gown, with a sweet face but an arrogant expression.

The young man beside her wore a moon-white robe, with handsome features and a steady demeanor. His fingers unconsciously toyed with a jade thumb ring, while his gaze fell on the God Transformation Tower, tinged with curiosity.

Both of their auras were subtle, yet Bai Ye could faintly sense a profound pressure of Spiritual Energy.

Clearly, these two were no ordinary cultivators, and most likely not from Azure State.

"Junior Sister, don't say that." The young man shook his head with a smile, his voice gentle but carrying an undeniable confidence. "The Wind Spirit Physique is considered a top-tier constitution in Azure State. Clearing the tenth floor is indeed impressive."

"Senior Brother, you're too soft!" The girl in the pink dress pouted, her tone carrying a hint of petulance. "His Wind Spirit Physique is nothing compared to your 'Innate Sword Body'! By the way, Senior Brother, is it really worth coming all the way from the Outer Domain to this Azure Spirit Secret Realm in the wasteland? The Wasteland Domain Grand Competition starts in three months—shouldn't we go back and focus on training?"

The young man's gaze swept over the runes on the God Transformation Tower, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. "The aura of this God Transformation Tower matches the records of the Great Emperor Qing Xuan's ruins in the ancient texts. If we can truly find the Emperor's legacy, even delaying a month—or a whole year—would be worth it."

He paused, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth. "When we return with that legacy, those guys will probably be green with envy."

"Wow! Then what are we waiting for!" The girl's eyes lit up, and she tugged at the young man's sleeve, pulling him toward the tower gate. "Senior Brother, let's go in! I want to see what treasures this God Transformation Tower holds!"

The young man nodded with a smile, and the two stepped through the tower gate side by side.

Seeing that the timing was right, Bai Ye also rose and walked toward the tower entrance.

The moment he stepped through the gate, he felt a powerful spatial force envelop him. Light and shadow flashed before his eyes, and he found himself in a massive stone chamber.

The stone chamber was empty, with only a black stele standing in the center, inscribed with the words "First Floor."

"Let's begin."

Bai Ye murmured. As soon as he spoke, the stele emitted a black light, and from that light coalesced a Mirror Opponent with an aura similar to his own—Peak Meridian Condensing Ninth Layer, wielding a Profound Grade Low Martial Skill.

Bai Ye wasted no words. He directly summoned the Purple Firmament Sword and unleashed a Golden Sword Light. The Mirror Opponent didn't even have time to react before being cleaved in two.

The window lattice of the first floor instantly lit up with white light.

The subsequent challenges went exceptionally smoothly.

The second floor, the third floor... all the way to the ninth floor—the Mirror Opponents were utterly powerless before him. In just half an hour, he had reached the tenth floor!

Meanwhile, outside the tower, the cultivators were gathered around Li Chengze, discussing.

If you find this book enjoyable, to avoid losing track next time, please remember to add it to your bookshelf.

He had just attempted a second challenge, successfully reaching the eighteenth floor, but fell at the nineteenth.

"The eighteenth floor! That's the best result in recent times!"

"Li Chengze is too strong! The Wind Spirit Physique truly lives up to its reputation!"

Li Chengze sat on the ground, but his expression was somewhat grim.

He clenched his fists and muttered to himself, "So close... If I could have activated my Wind Spirit Physique just a bit more, I would have broken through the 19th Floor..."

The Wind Spirit Physique required realm support; he was only at Late Primordial Core now. If he reached the Profound Comprehension Realm, his combat power boost would increase by over thirty percent!

Just as the crowd was gathered around praising Li Chengze, the window lattice of the God Transformation Tower's 19th Floor suddenly blazed with white light!

"What?! The 19th Floor lit up!"

"Who is it? Who broke through the 19th Floor?"

The crowd fell silent in an instant, all eyes fixed on the tower.

Before long, the window lattice of the 20th Floor also lit up with white light!

"The 20th Floor! My god! Is it that pair of Outer Domain Senior Brother and Sister from earlier?"

"It must be them! That young man's aura is so strong, I can't see through him at all!"

But before the crowd could react, the window lattices of the 21st Floor, 22nd Floor... all the way to the 27th Floor lit up with white light in succession!

"Insanity! This is absolute insanity?!"

"The 27th Floor! That's already surpassed the highest record in the annals!"

"He... he's not going to make it to the 30th Floor, is he? Are we about to witness history?!"

The cultivators outside the tower went completely wild; some were even trembling with excitement.

Inside the tower, Bai Ye had already arrived at the 29th Floor—the second-to-last floor of the God Transformation Tower!

In the stone chamber of this floor, there was no stele, only ten figures standing silently.

Each of them radiated vast auras, all at the peak of Profound Comprehension Realm, and every single one exuded a special physique aura!

There were the "Innate Lightning Body," "Nether Body," "Adamantine Body," and so on.

Even the weakest physique was several times stronger than Li Chengze's Wind Spirit Physique!

What was more terrifying was that they all held Heaven Grade weapons in their hands, and their bodies were wreathed in the Spiritual Energy fluctuations of Heaven Grade Perfection Martial Skills!

"This is somewhat interesting."

Bai Ye gripped the Purple Firmament Sword, a glint of battle intent flashing in his eyes.

The ten Mirror Opponents struck simultaneously!

The Innate Lightning Body Cultivator summoned thunder, the Nether Body Cultivator released black mist, the Adamantine Body Cultivator transformed into a giant...

Ten attacks came at Bai Ye all at once, the entire stone chamber shaking violently!

Bai Ye did not retreat but advanced, pushing Wind Chasing Shadow Stepping to its limit, his form turning into a blurry afterimage that wove through the gaps between attacks!

At the same time, the Purple Firmament Sword in his hand burst forth with dazzling golden light, and the seventh form of Nine Forms of Sky Slaying, "Lightning Slash," was suddenly unleashed!

Boom—!

A golden sword light, carrying the might to tear through thunder, slashed straight toward the Innate Lightning Body Cultivator!

The sword light flashed past, and the Lightning Body Cultivator's thunder dissipated instantly, his body cleaved in two by the single strike!

Immediately after, the eighth form, "Nether Slash," and the ninth form, "Mountain Slash," were unleashed in succession!

Golden sword light fell like a raging storm; though the ten Mirror Opponents were strong, they simply could not keep up with Bai Ye's speed and sword intent!

Half an hour later, the last Adamantine Body Cultivator was pierced through the chest by Bai Ye's sword, dissolving into black light and vanishing.

The window lattice of the 29th Floor lit up with a dazzling white light!

At the same time, a pill, pure white all over and exuding dense spiritual energy, slowly descended from the ceiling of the stone chamber, landing before Bai Ye.

It was precisely a Ninth-Rank Pill, the Heavenly Infant Pill!

This pill could assist a peak Profound Comprehension Realm cultivator in breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, with a success rate of ninety percent!

Moreover, it could enhance the grade of the Nascent Soul the cultivator condensed!

It was a legendary treasure!

Enough to drive every peak Profound Comprehension Realm cultivator mad with desire!

Bai Ye reached out and caught the Heavenly Infant Pill, feeling the special medicinal power fluctuations emanating from it, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Just one more floor left—the 30th Floor!

"Let me see if there really is a Divine Realm Expert's legacy..."
