The Ancient Spirit Tower Stele bears 24 names, all of whom are people who have passed through the eighteen levels of Ancient Spirit Tower since its Ancient Spirit Tower.
It is divided into three classes: first class, second class, and third class.
There was only one person in the first class, named Wu Chang.
Six people were in the second class, and seventeen people were in the third class.
"Father, I wonder how the first, second, and third grades are judged, and what the differences are?" Lin An asked curiously.
"It should be related to the time it takes to clear the 18th floor of Ancient Spirit Tower; the faster you clear it, the higher your rating will be."
"However, passing through the Ancient Spirit Tower is still too difficult. The last person to pass through the Ancient Spirit Tower was a Wu Clan two hundred years ago, and he only received a third-class rating."
Lin Xiao said, "As for Wu Chang, which is of the highest rank, it is said to be the ancestor of the Wu Clan who established Guangwu City three thousand years ago."
Lin An was also secretly surprised; three thousand years ago was an extremely distant era.
"So that means that in the past three thousand years, fewer than thirty people have passed through the Ancient Spirit Tower?"
Lin An said, "This shouldn't be the case. Since the Ancient Spirit Tower doesn't have an age limit, surely some of those powerhouses who have consistently been at the Gold Ninth Grade should be able to pass it."
"Although there is no age limit for Ancient Spirit Tower, the older you are, the greater the pressure within Ancient Spirit Tower becomes, making it more difficult to complete."
Lin Xiao said with a smile, "Generally, those over thirty years old can still enter the Ancient Spirit Tower, but they have completely lost the chance to clear it."
Lin An suddenly realized.
"Does Father think I can pass?" Lin An asked.
Lin Xiao hesitated for a few seconds, about to speak, when suddenly a voice rang out from the side.
"Old Lin, is this your son?"
A middle-aged man was seen smiling, with a teenager beside him.
"Old Zhou, I didn't expect you to be here too."
Lin Xiao smiled when he saw the newcomers. "This is my son, Lin An An'er, this is your Uncle Zhou, the city lord of Pingjiang City."
"Greetings, Uncle Zhou," Lin An said, bowing slightly.
This Zhou Yue's strength is also considerable; he's already a Platinum Realm expert, clearly stronger than Lin Xiao.
"Haha, your father and I are good friends, no need to be so polite."
Zhou Yue smiled and said, "This is my son, Zhou Lin. You're actually a month older than him. Lin'er, greet him quickly."
Zhou Lin greeted Uncle Lin and Lin An.
The boy beside Zhou Yue also stepped forward to greet him.
Lin An nodded in response. The other party's cultivation level was only Silver Seventh Grade, which seemed low, but that was only in comparison to him.
Compared to others, the other person is already considered extremely talented.
It should be noted that none of the young members of the three major families in Shenglin City, and none of them were the same age as Lin An, had reached the Silver Realm.
"Old Lin, you've been keeping this a secret for a while now. I was wondering why you never brought Xiao An to Guangwu City before. Were you afraid of discouraging us?"
" Xiao An is only eighteen years old, but he's already at the Gold Ninth Grade, much stronger than you were back then."
Zhou Yue said with a smile.
Zhou Lin, standing beside him, widened his eyes in disbelief.
He had just realized that he couldn't see through Lin An's cultivation level. He had thought that Lin An's cultivation level was higher than his, but he hadn't expected it to be this much higher.
An eighteen-year-old Gold Ninth Grade —even the Wu Clan of Guangwu City would find it difficult to cultivate such a prodigy.
"Haha, don't praise this kid too much, or he'll get arrogant."
"But he was lucky. After I broke through to the Platinum Realm last year, I took action and dealt with the Sin Beast in the Black Mountain of Shenglin City."
"After slaying the Spirit Devouring Ghost Tree, we discovered that its trunk contained a considerable amount of spiritual liquid, which is why this kid's cultivation level broke through so quickly."
Lin Xiao said with a smile, Lin An, who was standing to the side, had a flicker in his eyes upon hearing this.
His cheapskate father had only broken through to the Platinum Realm about two months ago, but he claimed that he had broken through last year. Although it was indeed last year, it was clearly to cover up the fact that his cultivation was extremely fast.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yue suddenly realized what was going on. He had a good relationship with Lin Xiao and knew that the Lin Family's cultivation method was somewhat special, allowing for extremely rapid progress before reaching the Platinum Realm.
Logically speaking, this kind of cultivation technique should be coveted by many people, but the problem is that once this technique reaches the Gold Ninth Grade, it is almost impossible to break through to the Platinum Realm.
For at least seven hundred years since the Lin Family established themselves in Shenglin City, apart from the Lin Family ancestor who founded Shenglin City, no other Platinum Realm expert has ever appeared.
It is precisely because people are aware of the huge flaws in this technique that no one has dared to try it.
"Old Lin, I haven't yet congratulated you on breaking through to the Platinum Realm. Let's get together at Heavenly Fragrance Residence later."
Zhou Yue said, "Although you've broken through, things are fine in Guangwu City for now, but once you return to Shenglin City, things might get a bit complicated."
Lin Xiao naturally understood what the other party meant.
No one had ever coveted the Lin Family's martial arts technique before because it had such a major flaw that anyone who practiced it would never be able to break through to the Platinum Realm in their lifetime.
But things are different now. Now that Lin Xiao has broken through to the Platinum Realm, there will inevitably be people who have designs on him.
"Don't worry, since I dared to come to Guangwu City, I naturally have a way to deal with it," Lin Xiao said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yue couldn't help but glance at Lin An.
It's obvious that the other party intends to participate in this year's grand ceremony. If they can secure a spot and go to the royal city, then indeed no one will dare to touch Lin Xiao.
Zhou Yue didn't say anything more. Although he and Lin Xiao had a good relationship, they weren't exactly sworn brothers. If something happened to the Lin Family, it wouldn't concern him.
"By the way, do you still have any of that spiritual liquid left? If so, could you sell me some?"
Zhou Yue said that he naturally wanted such a good thing as spiritual liquid. If it could help his son improve his cultivation level quickly, he might be able to get a chance to go to the royal city in the future.
"There are still two bottles left. We can discuss this further at Heavenly Fragrance Residence later," Lin Xiao said.
"Alright, you guys go ahead with your work, I'll take Lin'er around too."
Zhou Yue nodded, then left with Zhou Lin.
After watching the two leave, Lin An said, "Father, I'll go into the Ancient Spirit Tower first."
"Yes, be careful. Your father is here waiting for you." Lin Xiao nodded.
Without further ado, Lin An immediately headed towards the Ancient Spirit Tower.
After registering his information at the entrance, Lin An stepped directly into the tower.
"Father, Lin An is probably going to challenge the Ancient Spirit Tower, right? Why don't we wait a little longer?" Zhou Lin asked curiously on the street.
"What's there to wait for? The Ancient Spirit Tower is not so easy to conquer. In three thousand years, there have been fewer than thirty people who have succeeded."
"As for Lin An, although his cultivation level has reached the Gold Ninth Grade, it is mainly due to the special cultivation techniques of his Lin Family and the spiritual liquid he obtained."
"He's the same age as you, and although his cultivation level is higher, his mastery of the cultivation techniques is probably only comparable to yours. His combat strength is estimated to be about the same as an average Gold Ninth Grade."
Zhou Yue shook his head and said, "Anyway, he can't get through, so why should we stay and wait? It's just a waste of time."
"What if he makes it through..."
"Impossible. Unless he cultivates both Platinum Rank techniques to perfection, he has absolutely no chance."
Zhou Lin paused. He was currently only practicing Gold Tier technique, and he had only mastered one of them.
The other person is about the same age as him, so it's indeed impossible for them to have mastered two Platinum Rank cultivation techniques to perfection.
