Heavenly Mystery Tower

"Forget it. If we can't figure it out, let's leave it alone for now. I just happened to break through recently. Come on, let's spar."

Seeing Little Dragon looking completely baffled, Ye Xinran directly dragged him to the back mountain for a practice match.

Back mountain.

"Little Master, you've already reached the Imperial Extremes Realm..."

Feeling Ye Xinran's Imperial Extremes Realm aura, Little Dragon did not know what to say for a moment.

Since he had been focused on absorbing and refining the Sea Origin Pearl earlier, he had not noticed Ye Xinran's change in cultivation.

At that moment, Little Dragon only felt mountains of pressure weighing down on him.

How was he supposed to fight this?

Imperial Extremes Realm, Saint, Great Saint, Emperor Realm.

Hmm, there was still a gap, but not much.

"What? Scared?"

Ye Xinran asked with a teasing smile.

She was very satisfied with Little Dragon's reaction.

"Scared? Little Master, fear does not exist for me."

As he spoke, a Great Sage Realm aura surged from Little Dragon's body.

Ye Xinran: ???

Not scared? Then why had he only suppressed his cultivation to the Great Sage Realm?

"Little Master, make your move."

Seeing Ye Xinran slightly stunned, Little Dragon smiled confidently.

At his words, a long sword that was nearly solidified appeared behind Ye Xinran.

Feeling that aura, Little Dragon froze for a moment before immediately becoming serious.

Very soon, one person and one flood dragon clashed in battle.

Heavenly Realm.

"Hall Master, what should we do?"

Shangguan Shi asked.

They wanted to make the Primordial Divine Hall famous throughout the world, but fighting each force one by one seemed far too low-grade.

"The best way, naturally, is to use recruiting for the Divine Hall as a pretext."

Ye Chang'an smiled. He had already formed an idea.

"System, is there a place in the Heavenly Realm that ranks people?"

[The Heavenly Mystery Tower of the Heavenly Realm has a Strength Ranking and a Heavenly Prodigy Ranking]

"Heavenly Mystery Tower?"

[It is one of the top forces in the Heavenly Realm. The rankings compiled by the Heavenly Mystery Tower carry great weight and have almost never been wrong.]

"Oh? Looks like we'll have to let Little Nine give it a try. This first place can afford to be wrong."

Hearing this, Ye Chang'an glanced at Little Nine and laughed inwardly.

"But when it comes to putting on a show, I still prefer Ye Wu."

With that thought, Ye Chang'an called Ye Wu out again.

"Ye Wu, let's go to the Heavenly Mystery Tower in the Heavenly Realm."

Seeing Ye Wu emerge, Ye Chang'an spoke directly.

Following the order, Ye Wu summoned a Golden Portal before Ye Chang'an.

In truth, he could have directly let Ye Wu alone prop up the name of the Primordial Divine Hall, but Ye Chang'an thought that would be no fun.

They had strength, but in terms of heavenly prodigies, he also wanted the Primordial Divine Hall to shake the Heavenly Realm with its fame.

Heavenly Realm, Lintian Dao Domain.

As the most powerful Dao Domain in the Heavenly Realm, countless powerful forces were entrenched there.

The Heavenly Mystery Tower was no exception.

At that moment, outside a divine tower that shot straight into the clouds, a Golden Portal suddenly appeared.

Since there was no deliberate attempt to conceal it, the disturbance was quickly noticed by the entire Lintian Dao Domain.

"What is that portal? It's gleaming with golden light."

"No idea. Could it be something some great expert created?"

"Probably. This is the Lintian Dao Domain, after all. It looks like it's over by the Heavenly Mystery Tower, so it should be related to them."

Every corner of the Lintian Dao Domain was discussing the Golden Portal.

Just then, Ye Chang'an and the other three walked out of the portal.

Top floor of the Heavenly Mystery Tower.

"Master, four people came out of that portal. Could they be here for us?"

A white-robed youth asked the white-browed old man sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

"Tian Xuan, guests have arrived. Invite them in."

The white-browed old man slowly opened his eyes, his tone exceedingly amiable.

"Yes, Master."

"So this is the Heavenly Mystery Tower? Quite imposing."

Looking at the towering, majestic divine tower before him, Ye Chang'an could not help but sigh.

"Hall Master, shall we go in?"

Shangguan Shi asked.

"No rush. They should come and invite us."

"What if they don't?" Zhao Jiu suddenly added.

From the way he looked, he seemed to want to find someone to loosen up his limbs with.

Hearing this, Ye Chang'an smiled at Ye Wu.

Seeing that, Ye Wu understood immediately, and a wicked grin appeared on his face.

"Then we'll wipe it out."

Just as Ye Wu finished speaking, a delicate-looking youth in white appeared before the four of them.

Tian Xuan's expression was somewhat unnatural at that moment.

Because he had just heard what Ye Wu said.

What kind of people were these? If they did not invite them in, they would destroy them?

What kind of strength did they have to say something like that?

But Tian Xuan was no fool. The other party was definitely not simple.

The surface courtesies still had to be maintained.

"Welcome, the four of you, to the Heavenly Mystery Tower. Our Tower Master invites you inside for a talk."

"Then we'll trouble you."

Seeing Tian Xuan's respectful and courteous manner, Ye Chang'an returned the courtesy in kind.

Tower top.

Tian Xuan led Ye Chang'an and the other three before the white-browed old man.

"Those two are above Heavenly Lords? And there's even such a young Heavenly Lord?"

The instant he saw the four of them, the white-browed old man was inwardly shocked.

Because Ye Chang'an had used a Primordial Divine Hall treasure that concealed cultivation realms, the white-browed old man could not see through Ye Chang'an's realm at all.

Unable to see through Ye Chang'an and Ye Wu, the white-browed old man suspected that the two were above Heavenly Lords.

And Zhao Jiu was already a Heavenly Lord expert at such a young age.

That single glance left the white-browed old man thoroughly shaken.

"This old man is Bai Wenxuan. May I ask what business brings the four of you to the Heavenly Mystery Tower?"

The white-browed old man forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart as he spoke.

"Nothing much. We just came to see whether this Heavenly Prodigy Ranking is accurate."

Ye Chang'an said bluntly.

Hearing this, the white-browed old man glanced at Zhao Jiu and immediately understood.

It seemed they wanted this youth to get onto the rankings.

"Of course, no problem. Do you wish to challenge the first-place holder directly?"

"What else?"

"Very well. However, challenging the top three requires announcing it to the entire Heavenly Realm. Please wait a moment."

After speaking, Bai Wenxuan gave the white-robed youth a look.

The youth understood and immediately left the tower top.

"The four of you, my disciple has gone to handle the matter. It will be ready shortly."

"System, does the Heavenly Mystery Tower's Strength Ranking include everyone? Are there any hidden kings who have gone undiscovered?"

Thinking of the Heavenly Mystery Tower's Strength Ranking, Ye Chang'an suddenly asked the system.

[Host, the Heavenly Mystery Tower is quite powerful in the Heavenly Realm. It can be said to leave no stone unturned; even hidden kings could not stay hidden.]

"Interesting. It seems this Heavenly Mystery Tower truly is not simple."

Hearing that, Ye Chang'an regarded the Heavenly Mystery Tower more highly—by one glance.

Very soon, the white-robed youth returned to the tower top.

Seeing the youth return, Bai Wenxuan knew the matter had been handled.

"The four of you, the one you will challenge shortly is an image left behind by the first-place holder, so there is no need to hold back."

Bai Wenxuan knew Zhao Jiu was the one who wanted to enter the rankings. With that strength, he was unquestionably worthy of the top spot.

Afraid that the other party might have reservations, he reminded them.

While they were talking, the entire Heavenly Realm erupted into uproar.

News that someone was challenging the top of the Heavenly Prodigy Ranking spread out, directly shaking the entire Heavenly Realm.

"Did I hear that right? Our Heavenly Mystery Tower branch just announced that someone wants to challenge the top of the Heavenly Prodigy Ranking!"

"You heard it too? Then it must be true. I thought I had misheard."

"No, who's this brave? I'd think there was no problem if he challenged second place, but challenging the top-ranked Shangguan Wudi? Is he tired of living?"

"Exactly. No one has dared challenge Shangguan Wudi for so many years. Every previous challenger ended up with a shattered Dao heart. What is this person thinking?"

"Could it be the people who came out of that portal earlier?"

Some people from the Lintian Dao Domain had seen Ye Chang'an and the other three walk out of the portal earlier and immediately connected the two matters.

"Now that you mention it, that really is possible. That display didn't look simple at all."
