News of what happened in the Nine Heavens Imperial Court spread quickly, and many people knew about it.
"Have you heard? It's said that the third-rank Void Human Chen Zong, who was accepted by Primordial as an exception, failed to reach the first level of the Battle Tower."
"Not only did he fail, but he also came out not long after he went in. Obviously, he didn't last long. Some people speculated that he couldn't last more than three moves."
"He's so weak. What right does he have to enter the Yemo Heavens and be accepted by Primordial as an exception?"
Many voices of doubt arose.
However, Chen Zong's ranking in the top three of the trial ground was undeniable. That was why Primordial made an exception and accepted him.
All kinds of doubts did not affect Chen Zong. After leaving the Battle Tower, Chen Zong directly returned to the Heart Sword Peak. Sitting on the Fengxuan Bird puppet, Chen Zong was deep in thought as the wind blew against his face.
The opponent on the first level of the Battle Tower seemed to be very powerful, far more powerful than him. However, after careful consideration, that was not the case.
The main reason was that the opponent's power was very strong, and his speed was very shocking. His saber technique was simple and direct, but it was as if he had returned to the basics. With all these combinations, he could easily defeat Chen Zong.
However, if Chen Zong were to display the Sword World, he should be able to compete with the opponent and even defeat him.
The problem was that the opponent's speed was too fast, and his attack speed was too fast. His every move was as easy as instinct, while Chen Zong needed a little time to activate the Sword World.
As everyone knew, the more powerful the move, the more time it took to accumulate power. This was an inevitable process.
If one's speed was fast enough, one could strike first and interrupt the opponent's accumulation of power.
Of course, in addition to being fast enough, one also needed to be strong enough. Otherwise, it would be difficult to shake the opponent. Coincidentally, the person on the first level of the Battle Tower had both.
"Basic power!" Chen Zong kept recalling the previous battle under the five mental states. He replayed every detail over and over again to find the details of his defeat. Finally, he came to a conclusion.
Basic power!
The so-called basic power was a name that referred to the power and speed that one had mastered. It was the basic power and speed without using secret techniques.
However, a new question arose in Chen Zong's mind.
The man in armor was obviously at the same level as him. Why was his basic strength so much higher than his?
Chen Zong's thinking reached its peak under the Five Realms of Mind. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind like the stars in the sky. They were Chen Zong's guesses and deductions.
In the end, Chen Zong's eyes lit up.
"Cultivation technique!"
This was what Chen Zong could think of. In addition to the martial arts formula, there should also be the gap and application of the power of the Great Path.
Cultivation method!
The difference between a void technique and a universal technique was very obvious. The [Genesis Sword Energy Technique] that he cultivated was only a void technique, while the [Ten Thousand Elephant True Technique] was, in fact, a simplified version of the [Nine Heavens Ten Thousand Condensation Technique]. It only contained a little bit of the supreme technique's mysteries, probably not even one ten-thousandth of it.
The [Ten Thousand Elephant True Technique] only had five levels. Its function was to allow Trial Takers to adapt to the laws of the universe and restore their own strength.
Therefore, in terms of cultivation power, although he had adapted to the laws of the universe, it was only an adaptation. He had not changed, so he was still at the same level of power as in the void.
Therefore, there was a gap.
However, in the trial ground, compared to those fierce demons, his battle strength was not weak. Moreover, Chen Zong could feel that those fierce demons were very fierce and terrifying.
Another point was that in the Void, at least in the Void where he was, although cultivation strength was an indispensable part, it accounted for a relatively small proportion of overall strength.
Was it different in the universe?
Limited by his knowledge, Chen Zong did not know.
However, he should be able to find out soon enough.
Cultivate!
As long as he cultivated the supreme technique that he obtained from the Secret Pavilion, he would know.
Riding on the Black Wind Bird puppet, Chen Zong returned to the Heart Sword Peak and went straight to the Heart Sword Palace. He summoned the Heart Sword Peak attendant, Jiao Yi, and informed him that he was going into closed-door cultivation. Then, he began his closed-door cultivation.
This closed-door cultivation was, of course, to cultivate the supreme technique that he had chosen from the Secret Pavilion.
However, before he went into closed-door cultivation, Ao Wu sent a message to ask about Chen Zong's challenge to the Battle Tower.
…
Primordial was a force established by the Originals in the Nine Heavens Imperial Court. It was the strongest among the many forces and was incomparable.
Primordial's headquarters was located in the Eighth Heaven of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court. Among the many forces, only Primordial was located in the Eighth Heaven. As for the Demon Palace, Heavenly King Palace, Giant King Sect, and Beast King Mountain, they were second only to Primordial. However, their headquarters were located in the Seventh Heaven. They were not qualified to build their headquarters in the Eighth Heaven.
Primordial was a first-tier force in the Nine Heavens Imperial Court. It was the strongest and only one.
Demon Palace, Heavenly King Palace, Giant King Sect, and Beast King Mountain were second-tier forces.
Big Black Mountain, Full Moon Valley, Unihorn Fort, and Dao Alliance were third-tier forces. Their headquarters were located in the Sixth Heaven.
Primordial was established by the Originals. Most of its members were Originals.
Demon Palace was established by the Demon Tribe. Heavenly King Palace was established by the Heavenly Human Tribe. Giant King Sect was established by the Giant Tribe. Beast King Mountain was established by the Ancient Beast Tribe.
As for Big Black Mountain and Full Moon Valley, they were jointly established by some of the second-tier forces.
Dao Alliance was established by the Originals. Its internal members were only humans.
Unihorn Fort was established by the Horn-people. Similarly, the members of Unihorn Fort were Horn-people.
Apart from the headquarters, there were also branches in the other Heavens.
Within the Yemo Heavens, there were also branches of the nine great forces.
Within Primordial's branch.
"Ao Wu, I heard that the human you personally recruited was defeated in less than three moves on the first level of the Battle Tower," an Originals said to Ao Wu in a somewhat mocking tone.
"That's indeed the case. I've already asked. To be precise, it was two moves," Ao Wu replied expressionlessly. One could tell that he was not in a good mood.
When he recruited Chen Zong, other than feeling that Chen Zong was not bad, the biggest reason was because he was curious.
For a human from the Originals of the third-tier forces to be able to obtain a fifth-tier evaluation and even surpass the Demon Race, that was unbelievable.
This also meant that perhaps this human was a peerless genius. He was like a true dragon that was born in shallow waters. His talents were shocking. However, due to the limitations of the environment, he could not unleash his full potential.
Now that he had entered the universe, it was like entering the ocean from shallow waters. Given some time, he might even be able to rise from the depths of the ocean and soar into the Nine Heavens.
Of course, this was just a guess. Who knew if that was the truth?
Sometimes, there were so-called geniuses who were extremely outstanding in their original voids. However, after entering the universe, they would gradually fade into the crowd. On the other hand, there were also those who performed well in their original voids, but weren't the most outstanding. After entering the universe, they would slowly accumulate strength and gradually erupt, shocking the world with a single feat.
Therefore, Ao Wu did not know what kind of situation Chen Zong would be in. However, recruiting him was like taking a gamble. If he lost, Primordial would just have to pay some resources.
Now, it seemed like he had misjudged. The first level of the Battle Tower was the easiest level. However, it was fine if Chen Zong could not pass the first level. After all, it was his first attempt. Furthermore, he had just arrived at the Nine Heavens Imperial Court. He had not even cultivated properly. However, to be defeated in just two moves? Wasn't that a little too weak?
"Ao Wu, you might have misjudged him this time." That Originals chuckled once more, as though he had pointed out Ao Wu's inner thoughts.
"Not necessarily. He is still in the newbie stage. After the newbie stage, he should be able to adapt to the cultivation under the laws of the universe. At that time, we will know what will happen." Ao Wu's expression turned cold. "If at that time, he is still this weak, then don't blame me for being impolite. Primordial's resources are not that easy to obtain."
Primordial, as the number one power in the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, was naturally not ordinary. After all, the Nine Heavens Imperial Court was originally created by the Originals.
Naturally, the treatment that Primordial could enjoy was also the best.
Any member of Primordial was qualified to receive more resources. Taking Chen Zong as an example, Chen Zong had obtained a fifth-grade trial evaluation. He could receive the basic resources of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, which were a set of Nine Heavens Set, 500 Cosmos God Crystals, and some pills. He could enter Mount Wu Wang to temper and nourish his Divine Will for a month. After breaking through to the Divine Phase Realm, he could enter the Refinement Path World to cultivate for a month.
Then, as a member of Primordial, he could receive 500 Cosmos God Crystals and pills of the same quantity and grade. Furthermore, he could enter Mount Wu Wang to temper and nourish his Divine Will for two months. In addition, after breaking through to the Divine Phase Realm, he could enter the Refinement Path World to cultivate for an additional month.
Without a doubt, such resources were very shocking.
The Originals were originally very talented. Under the situation where they could receive more resources after joining Primordial, their improvement would naturally be even more terrifying.
As for other powers, they didn't have such amazing capabilities and treatment as Primordial.
Everyone who had just entered the Nine Heavens Imperial Court was considered a newcomer and had to undergo a newcomer's period. The purpose of this newcomer's period was to allow them to further adapt to the laws of the universe and properly comprehend the martial arts or secret techniques that they had chosen. During this period, no one would challenge them.
Therefore, the newcomer period was also known as the protection period.
This period was ten years.
Once this protection period was over, it would be different. They could face challenges at any time.
If they failed, they would have to pay a price.
And during the newcomer period, other than giving the newcomers time to adapt, it was also meant to observe how these newcomers performed in these ten years and then give some evaluations and so on.
Chen Zong knew all this. After all, Ao Wu had already said it before.
And now, Chen Zong had started his closed-door cultivation to properly comprehend the supreme cultivation technique he had chosen from the Secret Pavilion. He wanted to comprehend it thoroughly and cultivate it successfully as soon as possible.
