Chapter 113 - 113 Why Don’t You Choose Me (1/5)_1
Ye Fan figured, since there wasn’t any danger, there was no harm in giving it a try.
Pondering, he arrived at the entrance of the Sky-reaching Tower.
He slowly approached the entrance, and in the next moment, Ye Fan found himself within the Sky-reaching Tower.
Am I a young cultivator as well?
Ye Fan forgot that at over one hundred years old, he was indeed considered a young cultivator.
Not only was Ye Fan dumbstruck, but the many cultivators waiting for their juniors outside were also perplexed.
How did Master of Thousands of Leaves manage to enter the Sky-reaching Tower?
Xi Tian just joked about it but all of them, the lords, had tried to enter the Sky-reaching Tower and never succeeded.
He could not imagine how Ye Fan could enter the Tower.
Xi Tian swallowed and asked nervously: “Any of you know how old Master of Thousands of Leaves is?”
A Nascent Soul Stage cultivator from the East Territory weakly responded: “Over fortv vears ago. we seem to have attended Master of Thousands of
Leaves’ hundredth birthday celebration.”
What the…?
Surprised and confused exclamations burst forth from the cultivators’ mouths.
If the hundredth birthday celebration was over forty years ago, then isn’t the age of Master of Thousands of Leaves less than one hundred and fifty?
Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator who’s less than one hundred and fifty years old?
Among them, the fastest to break through to the Divinity Transformation Stage was already nearing their thousand -year mark.
The Nascent Soul Stage cultivators might be just barely over a hundred years old, but the Divinity Transformation cultivators could accumulate their lifespan with available resources.
Yet, who could accomplish Divinity Transformation Stage?
Everyone stared at the stele at the entrance of the Sky-reaching Tower, wanting to know what kind of potential Ye Fan possessed.
Inside the Sky-reaching Tower, Ye Fan felt a gaze from the void scrutinizing him.
Are there also other sentient beings within the Sky-reaching Tower?
The thought made Ye Fan shiver all over as he muttered curses against Xi Tian.
All Xi Tian’s fault, why did he have to urge him to try?
Stream of curses rolled out of his mouth, “Now something happened, what now?”
Ye Fan had a premonition that the test in the Sky-reaching Tower was definitely not a simple matter.
A ray of light shone on Ye Fan.
Ye Fan felt his body being scoured in an instant.
The existence observing him was at a very high level!
Even his Deceiving Heaven and Crossing the Sea technique could not hide him from this being’s eyes.
Then, outside the Sky-reaching Tower, the words on the stele changed again.
New words appeared, taking the top ranking.
First Place: Ye Fan, Low Earth spiritual root, Azure Dragon bloodline, Early Nascent God Stage, First Level, current score: 6666 points.
The score of Ye Fan was jaw-dropping.
A Low Earth spiritual root again, and even a legendary Azure Dragon bloodline!
Two Low Earth spiritual roots appearing in one day left everyone somewhat numb.
Fine, fine, fine, you’re all talented and I’m the rubbish.
The entire Sky-reaching Tower became eerily quiet in an instant.
Silence was the color of the day.
At Ye Fan’s end, a cultivator appeared before him.
The cultivation level of this cultivator was just at the Qi Refinement Realm. He was furiously trying to cast his magic spells against Ye Fan.
To be honest, Ye Fan wanted to leave and had no interest in participating in this so-called trial.
But what was ridiculous was that even if Ye Fan took off his treasure clothes and surrendered any defense, the Qi Refinement Realm cultivator would not be able to inflict any damage on him.
Finally, Ye Fan became irritated, and, holding his breath, blew away the Qi Refinement Realm cultivator. He successfully advanced to the second level.
The third, fourth, he kept climbing.
At the sixtieth level, cultivators at the Core Formation Stage appeared.
Ye Fan was delighted, at last, he could finally quit the trial.
But when Ye Fan dropped his defenses and invited the Core Formation Stage cultivators to attack him, they flinched and surrendered of their own accord, quitting the trial.
Ye Fan moved up once again.
His heart sank. It was as though the Sky-reaching Tower had taken an interest in him.
There seemed to be no intent to let him go.
Ye Fan attempted to quit a few more times. Whenever he abandoned his attack, the opponent would promote him to the next level.
In the end, whether Ye Fan attacked or not, his opponents chose to surrender.
Ye Fan’s rate of advancement grew faster and faster.
He quickly reached the ninety-ninth floor.
The outside world saw Ye Fan reach the ninety-ninth floor in one fell swoop without surprise.
If Master of Thousands of Leaves couldn’t clear the trial, then no one else could.
Many people began to wonder what reward they could receive from clearing the Sky-reaching Tower.
For all the years the Tower had existed, the cultivator with the greatest potential barely reached the ninety-third floor and never cleared the Tower.
This time, two record-breaking cultivators appeared.
Ye Fan at the ninety-ninth level, and Ye Jinsen at the ninety-eighth.
And it seemed like Ye Jinsen had not reached his limit yet.
The ninety-ninth level featured a vast and open space.
An elderly man with white hair and an aura of immortality emerged before Ye Fan.
“Young cultivator, I am the Artifact Spirit of the Sky-reaching Tower and I congratulate you for potentially becoming the successor to the Tower’s master”, the elder said.
Hearing this, Ye Fan snorted.
You are claiming to be the main seat and yet saying you are not human!
Which Artifact Spirit refers to itself as the ‘main seat’?
Ye Fan did not interrupt the Artifact Spirit, and decided to wait and see what it was planning to do as he braced himself for anything.
Ye Fan’s composure was beyond the Artifact Spirit’s expectations.
What’s going on? Shouldn’t you be excited about potentially becoming the successor of the Sky-reaching Tower’s master?
Don’t you realize that the Sky-reaching Tower is an extraordinary treasure?
At this moment, another figure appeared on the ninety-ninth level of the Sky-reaching Tower. It was Ye Jinsen.
When the Artifact Spirit saw Ye Jinsen, it appeared even more delighted.
Two cultivators with potential acknowledged by the Sky-reaching Tower have appeared all at once!
“Young man, congratulations!” The Artifact Spirit’s voice quivered with excitement.
When Ye Jinsen saw Ye Fan, he was delighted, and was about to salute, but was stopped by Ye Fan’s glance.
Ye Jinsen got the hint and quickly regained his composure.
The Artifact Spirit was left speechless. Another calm and collected one, what was going on?
However, since both had reached the ninety-ninth floor of the Sky-reaching Tower, the Artifact Spirit would now call the shots.
The Artifact Spirit surveyed Ye Jinsen and Ye Fan, contemplative.
Both their potentials were excellent, both had Low Earth spiritual roots.
One had a bloodline and the other had a physical quality, perfect candidates indeed.
Who should be chosen?
In the end, the Artifact Spirit gradually moved towards Ye Jinsen.
“Young man, would you be willing to become the successor to the Master of the Sky-reaching Tower?”
Hearing those words, Ye Fan was immediately displeased.
What does this mean? Do you look down on me because I’m old?
We both have almost the same potential, my cultivation level is even higher, so why wasn’t I chosen?
Ye Fan had already seen through the Artifact Spirit’s sinister intentions and naturally did not want to let Ye Jinsen take the risk.
“Hold on a second, why isn’t it me?” Ye Fan asked, feigning anger.
Seeing Ye Fan’s anger, the Artifact Spirit was not taken aback, but instead was amused.
This was more like it.
I just knew it, how could anyone not be tempted by the inheritance of a Celestial Lord from Ten-thousand Stars.
You’ve revealed your true colors now!
“This cultivator, I am first testing the compatibility of this person with the inheritance.. You will be next,” said the Artifact Spirit before stretching its hand towards Ye Jinsen!
