(Second Update)
The black tower was tall and towered into the sky. It was majestic and would never fall.
Usually, not many people would challenge the Star Battle Tower, but now, there were more than ten times the number. This was because the news of the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden coming to Sky Phoenix City had spread, attracting many prodigies and even geniuses.
But now, the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden had not arrived yet. These prodigies naturally wanted to challenge the Star Battle Tower to spread their names.
Life was nothing more than the pursuit of fame and benefits.
Fame and benefits were a part of life. Even Sage level cultivators could not avoid it.
Especially for the younger generation, making a name for themselves was a must. Everyone wanted to be number one, to be the person standing at the peak, to be able to look down on others and see how small they were. Only then would it be a wonderful world.
In front of the Star Battle Tower, there were more than a hundred Heaven level cultivators present. There were even more people coming from all directions. Even those who were not challenging the tower chose to watch.
At this moment, the stars on the eighth level of the Star Battle Tower, which were originally dim, suddenly lit up.
"Someone has reached the eighth level."
"I wonder who it is?"
Every time, ten people would challenge the Star Battle Pagoda. In other words, ten people would form a group and challenge the Star Battle Pagoda together. When someone reached a certain level, the star on that level would light up. However, the people outside would not be able to determine who lit up the star. They could only wait until the end of the challenge and judge based on the order of the people who exited the pagoda.
"According to my guess, it should be Liu Cangnian. Among the ten people, only he has such strength."
"Liu Cangnian? I also think it should be him."
"Liu Cangnian's saber skills are exquisite. With the reputation of the Silent Saber, it should be him."
There were sounds of discussion in the surroundings.
These discussions were not far away, and Chen Zong also heard them.
It was worth mentioning that the cultivators of the inner universe were not the Origin Race of the outer universe. Instead, they were closer to the human race. Of course, they were only close in appearance. They were not the silver-haired and double-pupiled Origin Race, but they were closer to the human race's black hair and black eyes. However, the inner universe was mainly based on bloodlines. Those without bloodlines would find it difficult to stand out.
The people of the inner universe also had surnames and names, unlike the Origin Race, who only had names and no surnames.
Although Chen Zong had been in the outerverse for over a hundred years, he was still not used to the names of the outerverse. Without a surname, the name was a little strange. After all, with a surname in front, there was a sense of regularity. Without a surname, it would be a little awkward.
"Brother Chen, let's challenge the tower together later." Yang Yi, who had finished registering, walked to Chen Zong's side and said.
"Thank you, Brother Yang. How much is the registration fee? I'll pay you later," Chen Zong said with a smile.
In order to challenge the Star Battle Tower, one had to first preserve their life and pay the registration fee. After that, they would have to challenge the tower in order. It was not a place that one could challenge just because they wanted to.
"Brother Chen, you are being too polite. It's just a registration fee. It's nothing," Yang Yi said with a laugh.
Along the way, Yang Yi and the other three had a good impression of Chen Zong. After all, Chen Zong's knowledge was extensive and profound. Not only did they acknowledge him, but they also admired him.
During this period of time, although it was not a long time, they had already regarded Chen Zong as a friend. The registration fee was nothing to them.
Chen Zong was not a pretentious person. He insisted on returning the registration fee. It was the other party's kindness.
He accepted it and would return this small favor when he had the chance in the future.
Why did he say so?
Because the currency circulating in the inner universe was different from the currency circulating in the outerverse. In the outerverse, the currency was Cosmos Crystal, but in the inner universe, it was called Mystic Coin. It was cast from a special kind of crystal. The craftsmanship was very complicated and extraordinary.
Mystic Coin was recognized as the currency circulating in the inner universe. The value of many treasures was based on Mystic Coin.
Chen Zong had just arrived and did not have the so-called Mystic Coin on him. He had not encountered any bandits or villains who wanted to rob him, so naturally, he did not obtain any Mystic Coins. Of course, Chen Zong could sell some treasures, but the treasures in the outerverse were ultimately different from the inner universe. It was inevitable that his identity would be exposed.
The inner universe was different from the interlayer. The interlayer only had the undead. When living beings entered the interlayer, they would be different and would be distinguished.
Chen Zong was a human. His appearance was similar to the people of the inner universe, so he would not be distinguished.
It was difficult to move an inch without money. This was the reason. Chen Zong knew that he needed to earn some Mystic Coins in the future. The more, the better. Otherwise, if he encountered any useful treasures but missed them because of a lack of Mystic Coins, it would be a great regret. As for now, he was ready to challenge the Star Battle Pagoda and see what level his strength was at in the inner universe.
Chen Zong felt that the cultivation path of the inner universe was more perfect and brilliant than that of the outerverse.
He could not help but feel a sense of anticipation in the depths of his heart.
Finally, the group of people challenging the Star Battle Pagoda came out. Just as these people had speculated, the one who had reached the eighth floor was Liu Cangnian. He carried a long saber on his back and looked somewhat mature, but there was a hidden light in the depths of his eyes.
Eight-star combat strength!
Most of the gazes that looked at Liu Cangnian were envious. Of course, there were also disdainful gazes. However, it was not clear whether they were truly disdainful or just pretending to be disdainful.
Chen Zong carefully sensed that Liu Cangnian's cultivation was equivalent to the seventh level of the Heaven Stage. Judging from the fluctuations that he had inadvertently leaked when he appeared, he should be at the peak of the Heaven Stage, which was equivalent to the seventh level of the Heaven Stage, which was equivalent to his own realm.
Peak of the Heaven Stage, eight-star combat strength.
Chen Zong was not sure whether this level of strength was high or low because there was no standard to judge.
However, Chen Zong soon deduced the general situation from the discussions of the people around him. However, he could not be 100% sure. However, if he continued to watch and observe the situation of the other people challenging the pagoda, he would have a more accurate judgment.
There were ten people in one batch, and the next batch after Liu Cangnian did not perform so well. The best among them was the sixth level, and the next batch was even worse. The best among them was the fifth level.
However, the next batch was directly defeated. Someone passed the ninth level and entered the tenth level. Although he was defeated and could not light up the stars on the tenth level, it still caused a wave of shock.
This was because the person who passed the ninth level and entered the tenth level was a young man, not a middle-aged man. Young and middle-aged represented two different levels.
It was like there was always a difference between a person who had cultivated for a hundred years and a person who had cultivated for two hundred years.
And this person's cultivation was at the peak of the Heaven Stage.
The cultivation levels of the Heaven Stage were divided into beginner, small success, peak, and peak. It was the same as the division of the outer universe, but there was an additional combat strength.
Of course, in the inner universe, there was no such thing as the Half-Saint level. There were only differences in combat strength.
"Perhaps one star to nine stars represent the strength of the Overlord level, and ten stars to twelve stars represent the strength of the Half-Saint level." Chen Zong secretly speculated. He was not completely sure, but there was some possibility.
Then, in the outer universe, he had the strength of the Half-Saint level. What about the inner universe?
How many stars would his combat strength be?
"Brother Chen, it's our turn." Yang Yi's voice came into his ears.
Yang Yi's cultivation was at the small success of the Heaven Stage. As for the other three, they were at the beginner level of the Heaven Stage.
In addition to Chen Zong's group of five, there were five other people who were also challenging the tower. The lowest was at the beginner level of the Heaven Stage, and the highest was at the peak of the Heaven Stage.
Although he had already seen some of them, Chen Zong could not help but feel a little emotional.
The inner universe was really a terrifying world. There were really many young Overlord level masters. There were more than a hundred of them around the Heaven Stage Battle Star Tower, and there were even Heaven Stage masters who were twice as young as them coming from time to time.
To be able to reach the Heaven Stage in the younger generation, they could be considered geniuses. Of course, there were also prodigies and so on.
The peak of the Heaven Stage had a long sword at his waist. He was dressed in a light blue robe, and there was a faint arrogance on his face.
He had the right to be arrogant because he was very young, but he was already at the peak of the Heaven Stage. His strength was not weak at all, and he could be called a prodigy.
The blue-robed youth's gaze swept across, and in an instant, he sized up the ten people who were going to challenge the Battle Star Tower with him. The corners of his mouth suddenly curled into a smile, a proud smile. None of these people were at the peak of the Heaven Stage. They were destined to be his stepping stones to show off his excellence.
However, when his gaze swept across Chen Zong, he frowned slightly. This was because he realized that he could not see through Chen Zong's cultivation.
That feeling of being integrated into one was very strange, and he could not see through it at all. He then sneered. It was just some small tricks, hiding the head and showing the tail. He did not even dare to reveal his true cultivation. It was probably too low and he was afraid of embarrassing himself.
There were many kinds of people in this world. Because their cultivation was too low, they would use some kind of secret technique or artifact to deliberately conceal their aura fluctuations. Of course, there were also some very strong people who did this in order not to let others see through them.
However, the blue-robed youth, Bai Liyan, felt that this person's cultivation was not high enough. He estimated that he was at the beginning of the Heaven Stage, or even just barely. He did not want to be looked down upon, so he used such a method.
Enter the tower!
In an instant, the ten people stepped out one after another. The moment they came into contact with the Battle Star Tower, their bodies disappeared as if they were swallowed, and they reappeared inside the tower.
Chen Zong immediately realized that the other nine people had disappeared. He was the only one who had appeared in the darkness. Suddenly, a light lit up, illuminating the surroundings. A figure also stepped out of the darkness in the distance.
Chen Zong had actually seen similar scenes many times. For example, in the Lingwu Saints' World, in the void, in the outer universe, and so on. Similar challenges were mostly the same. The only difference was the strength and skill of the challengers.
The sound of footsteps continuously rang out as the figure approached step by step. His aura also continuously condensed, becoming more and more astonishing and tyrannical. When he was a hundred meters away, suddenly, an intense light flashed and bloomed.
