In the eyes of the powerful people in the Ascending Realm, the first and second levels are just a fight between noobs.
The cloud islands that were given as a bonus after winning the competition were so small that they could be eroded into rubble by the sea of clouds at any time.
This kind of low-level battle can be used to train the younger generations in the family.
The real competition still lies on the third level.
When you reach the Ascension Realm, the level of the fight becomes higher and the danger also increases accordingly. After all, everyone has experienced the thunder from heaven, so who would be afraid of death
What’s even more frustrating is the anonymity rule of Yunhai Tower. No one knows who is in front of them.
If you meet some reasonable monks, you can just give up if you can't defeat them.
But if you encounter a monk who is bloodthirsty... then you'll be in trouble.
They were already pent up in Yunhai City where they were not allowed to kill people, so why didn't they seize the opportunity to cause trouble after entering Yunhai Tower? The challengers they targeted would most likely be killed on the spot without even having the chance to give up.
Therefore, starting from the third floor, every battle in Yunhai Tower is like a gamble with life.
Wen Yun has never learned to underestimate the enemy. She only remembered the four words "Cherish life". She was fully prepared when entering the Yunhai Tower this time.
Although from the outside she looked plain and simple in her clothes, without any other decorations or magic weapons, her eyes were firm and her back was straight, making her look like a cold and aloof female swordsman.
But apart from Charmander, who can guess the truth behind this illusion
There were more than 300 defense scrolls stuck on the lining of her clothes, almost like she was sewing the scrolls into clothes!
She is the only challenger this month, so she doesn't have to worry about someone launching a sneak attack from behind.
The moment Wen Yun stepped into the Yunhai Tower, he was teleported to the 100th stage on the third floor.
The man guarding the ring here is a tall and thin young man, his age is hard to tell, he has his eyes closed as if he is dozing, the dim light only falls on half of his body, and one can vaguely see dark-colored old bloodstains on the corners of his clothes.
The murderous aura immediately spread out.
Although he was ranked last among the cultivators in Yunhai Tower, the dangerous aura he exuded was incomparable to that of the cultivators from outside.
The moment Wen Yun stepped in, his eyes suddenly opened and a cold gaze shot over.
But after seeing Wen Yun's overly childish face, he was slightly startled, and then slowly frowned.
He said coldly: "Which little girl who just ascended to heaven dares to come to Yunhai Tower for the trial? This place is not a place for you delicate young masters and young ladies. I am too lazy to fight with a child, so you can go out by yourself."
If it were any other monk, he would be furious after hearing such words, thinking that he was looking down on me and I would kill him!
However, Wen Yun, who is over 500 years old, said: He is praising my youth, I am so happy!
So Wen Yun did not leave, but took out his weapon, smiled and bowed to him, and said loudly: "Please give me more advice, fellow Taoist."
Seeing that she didn't know what was going on, the young man's face suddenly turned cold: "In that case, let me teach you the first lesson of this Yunhai Tower!"
He was extremely fast, flying towards me like an arrow.
Wen Yun's eyes lit up.
He is worthy of being the one who can be challenged in Yunhai Tower. Although he is only the last, his ability is far beyond that of ordinary ascenders.
This was her first official battle after her ascension, and she desperately needed to fight against others in order to truly adapt to the power of the ascension realm.
This opponent is not weak, she is very satisfied.
Wen Yun jumped back lightly with the dragon bone staff in hand to avoid the attack. She did not choose to counterattack immediately, but chose to release her spiritual sense to cover the entire arena!
Divine consciousness is actually mental power. In this aspect, Wen Yun is far stronger than ordinary cultivators... No, to be precise, no one in the Ascension Realm is likely to be her opponent.
Because she was the one who had endured 122 bolts of lightning!
Although cultivators from the upper realms also cultivate spiritual consciousness, no one is like Wen Yun, who only cultivates the soul for the first five hundred years.
He was not like Wen Yun, who spent his days studying forbidden spells and torturing his soul over and over again, to the point that he became accustomed to that kind of pain.
Therefore, normal people can withstand the first one hundred heavenly thunders that temper the body, but when it comes to tempering the soul, they cannot withstand the pain that comes from the soul.
Even a genius as famous as Shang Wuyang fell under one hundred and one heavenly thunders, didn't he
After being tempered, Wen Yun's soul became even more terrifying.
At this moment, her spiritual sense was like thin threads, silently capturing every movement in the air and responding immediately.
The tall and thin young man also found it strange.
The little girl in front of him was not good in either physical skills or cultivation. She couldn't even find a chance to fight back under his attack. But for some reason, she was always able to narrowly avoid his every attack, as if she had predicted all his moves in advance!
Could it be that she specialized in practicing body movements and not attacking techniques
How strange!
It was clearly a game of cat and mouse, but the mouse was too cunning and seemed to be teasing the cat.
After fighting like this for a while, the tall and thin young man's internal energy was almost exhausted, and his originally swift movements became correspondingly slow.
"Right now."
Wen Yun looked for an opportunity and picked up his weapon the moment his opponent's attack missed. He was clearly holding a dragon bone wand, but what he swung out was a sword move!
The tall and thin young man never expected that she, who had been running away for the whole day, would actually fight back, and with such great force. This sudden blow of the stick actually knocked him away!
The young man was still a little confused when he was knocked off the ring.
However, the girl had already pulled up her skirt and bowed to him with a smile on her face: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your hard work."
Just before being teleported out of Yunhai Tower, he finally understood why she said "thank you for your hard work" to him.
It turns out this girl is using me as a sparring partner!
Wen Yun indeed thought so and did so.
Although all sword cultivators love money, she is not willing to risk her life for wealth unless it is a critical moment.
Cloud Island is beautiful, but life is more valuable.
So after winning consecutive challenges against three sparring partners, Wen Yun realized a fact: her current strength was not enough and she was afraid that she could not continue to challenge.
Just now when dealing with No. 98, he had to use a sneak attack to barely win. If he were to overestimate his own abilities and challenge a stronger one, he would probably just return in defeat.
After she was ready to go out, she first carefully reflected on and studied the previous three battles. After digesting all the experience, she would wait until the beginning of next month to try to challenge the No. 97 arena.
As for now, Wen Yun simply chose to end this month's challenge and retreat outside the Yunhai Tower.
The solemn and silent Yunhai Tower and the outside of the tower seem to be two different worlds.
The Cloud Sea Tower has become a landmark in the Cloud Sea Realm. Although most people do not plan to take the risk in it, they still come to the Cloud Sea Realm to take a look, so the area around here is particularly lively.
Not to mention the gorgeously decorated shops in the city, even the large open space outside the tower is densely packed with various small stalls. Merchants from all walks of life come here to exchange resources and specialties, making it quite lively.
After all, although you don’t need to eat in the world of cultivation, you still need source crystals if you want to obtain magic weapons, right
If you get injured and seek medical treatment, you will also need Source Crystals, right
If a weapon is broken, you will need source crystals to repair it, right
In the upper realm, even hunting down an enemy would cost a large amount of source crystals! After all, the upper realm was too big, and it was not easy to find someone.
All in all, the resources needed for cultivation in the upper realm is a huge hole that can never be filled.
Therefore, it is not surprising that people like those in the Ascension Realm choose to set up stalls in order to save consignment fees. Some of them have even begun to learn to shout openly to attract customers.
When Wen Yun looked up, he saw Master Su Yuan who was shouting the loudest among the crowd.
The old swordsman stood in the middle of the crowd with his sleeves rolled up, looking very energetic, not afraid of embarrassment at all, and greeted people loudly.
"Don't miss it if you pass by. First-order Cloud Island is available for rent at a low price. There are also a few second-order Cloud Island. The location is excellent and the scenery is amazing... Hey, Yun girl, you came out so soon?"
After experiencing the lesson Ye Shubai taught him last time, Master Su Yuan was able to hold his ground this time.
He did not act like an elder in front of Wen Yun, but asked cautiously: "How many people did you defeat this time?"
After learning that Wen Yun had won three times, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not a pervert.
But on second thought, Wen Yun was challenging the Ascension Realm!
Not long after she ascended, she was able to challenge three people in a row. If you think about it carefully, three people in the Ascension Realm are much more difficult to deal with than those below a hundred. Wen Yun might be even more perverted than Ye Shubai!
But a mature swordsman would never reveal his true thoughts.
Master Su Yuan nodded calmly and commented coldly: "It's acceptable."
Wen Yun didn't care about these things. She was more concerned about Ye Shubai's whereabouts: "It's been almost ten days, and Xiaobai hasn't come out yet?"
"Young man Ye is too stubborn to risk his life. I'm afraid he will be pushed to his limit before coming out again. We don't need to wait for him. Let's do more important things first."
Master Su Yuan packed up his stall calmly and raised his chin towards Wen Yun.
"Come on, let's go take you to those new three-story cloud islands."
Wen Yun was actually not very reassured about what was inside the Yunhai Tower, but her spiritual mark was printed on the cloud badge, and unless she went there in person, Master Su Yuan could not open the Yunhai Island.
She had no choice but to retract her worried and reluctant look and turned around to follow her senior.
The old swordsman felt both sad and amused when seeing this, he took out a can of strong liquor and drank it down.
It’s great to be young and still be able to talk about love. It’s really enviable!
Fortunately, after acquiring the three new cloud islands, Master Su Yuan’s bitter heart was quickly healed.
What’s the point of love? I’d rather get the Yundao incense!
Wen Yun used his spiritual sense to investigate the cloud card and frowned: "Why are these two so far apart?"
The Cloud Sea Realm is too large, and these two islands are probably at the edge of the Cloud Sea Realm. With their current sword-riding speed, they don’t even have time to go and check.
Fortunately, the last Cloud Island is quite close to Yunhai City. Looking closely at its location, it can be considered adjacent to the Tenth Peak Island.
Of course, this so-called close distance is actually about the distance of half a day's flying sword.
As soon as they landed on the new island, Master Suyuan immediately smiled.
"Hey, this Cloud Island is pretty good! It's worthy of being the big island rewarded from the third level. It looks like it's four or five times bigger than the previous one. I can't even see the end of it at a glance."
He was extremely happy to see it, and became even happier after flying around the island to take a look.
"The previous owner of this Cloud Island was so generous that he even built a manor. And judging from the signs of use, he must have lived here for at least two months."
Master Su Yuan was very happy, and he walked around the island to inspect it with great enthusiasm. Finally, he nodded heavily and said, "I think this place is good."
Wen Yun also looked at it carefully, the light in his eyes became more and more scorching, and he nodded in agreement: "I think this place is good too."
"I think this Cloud Island should be easy to rent out at a price of 20,000 Source Crystals... No, 30,000 Source Crystals. I'll go find a customer right now!"
"Wait a moment, senior!"
Wen Yun suddenly called him.
"Why? Do you think thirty thousand is too low? Then should I raise the price again?"
"No, I have another favor to ask you, Senior."
Wen Yun stood up straight and bowed deeply to Master Su Yuan.
She expressed Changcun's thoughts: "Senior, please take the brothers into the Cloud Sea Realm!"
Those who ascend can break through the void and travel between the realms.
Now that she and Ye Shubai, two people who have comprehended the power of the laws, are not in the lower realm, the Dongxuan Realm will naturally no longer pay attention to such a wasteland. It is not impossible to bring people out from it, but she and Ye Shubai need to stay here to guard the arena of the Yunhai Tower and cannot leave.
Su Yuan Zhenren was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "What do you think? So it's this. Do you still need to beg? They are all my disciples and grandchildren. Even if you don't tell me, I will go and bring them out. After all, the possibility of ascending to heaven in the lower realm is extremely slim, almost equal to zero."
"But, Yun girl, you need to be mentally prepared in advance."
"We don't have any magic weapon that can traverse the void. Those who haven't ascended to heaven cannot survive in the void without someone to lead them. With my own strength, I can only bring two people out at most. Moreover, the distance between these two worlds is very far. Maybe you haven't noticed, but it actually took us decades just to go from the cultivation world to the sea of clouds world!"
"Two places. Can you guarantee that I can bring back the news that they can be introduced to the upper realm? They have not yet seen the cruelty of the upper realm. Can they really be as harmonious and friendly as before? Will they not become enemies for these two places?"
"Girl Yun, don't forget about Ye! Ascending to the upper realm is the lifelong wish of almost all cultivators!"
Wen Yun's body trembled.
Yes, those who divided Ye Shubai's jade infant for the dream of ascending to heaven, weren't they all Ye Shubai's fellow Taoists or even fellow disciples before the incident
All the monks were branded with the same belief at the beginning of their practice: to work hard to cultivate the great way and finally ascend to the upper realm.
They don’t know that the upper world is not that good. They only know that if they go to the upper world, they can become immortals and enjoy longevity and freedom.
Even the senior brothers and sisters, having never really seen what the upper realm was like, probably had the same idea. So when Wen Yun ascended to heaven, they sincerely congratulated him but were also envious.
If Master Su Yuan went back and said he would take the two of them to the upper realm, it would be tantamount to giving them two shortcuts to ascension.
That is far more tempting than Ye Shu's white jade infant. I'm afraid no one would be willing to wait for dozens or hundreds of years for the next coming of Master Su Yuan. Will they believe this illusory promise
But there were more than just two senior brothers and sisters, and the sound of them taking people away could definitely not be hidden.
Will they turn against each other? Will they break off their friendship and draw their swords against each other
Wen Yun was silent for a long time.
Finally, she bent down again and bowed to Master Su Yuan for a long time.
"Senior, I believe them."
