"Brother Chen, which floor did you reach?" Qing Chen walked over and asked with a smile on his face.
"Tenth." Chen Zong smiled.
"As expected of Brother Chen." Qing Chen was slightly startled and immediately smiled.
"Chen Zong, give me your reward and I'll leave your corpse intact." An extremely cold voice sounded like an evil spirit from hell, making one's hair stand on end.
This voice was not concealed at all, and immediately caused everyone around to be horrified.
It was hard to imagine what the reward for reaching the tenth floor was, but it must be incomparably precious. Who below the Transcendent Realm would not want it?
The one who spoke was the Xin Family's Ghost Sword, Xin Wuxing. His pale face and deep eyes made Chen Zong feel like he was being stared at by an evil spirit.
"Give me your reward and I'll consider not killing you." Chen Zong responded without fear. It was like a stone thrown into water, causing a huge splash.
"Arrogant!"
"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak so arrogantly. You can't even compare to a toe of my Brother Wuxing."
Many people in the Xin Family were shocked and began to criticize Chen Zong. Many people also felt that Chen Zong was too arrogant. Who was Xin Wuxing? He was the Ghost Sword, a master ranked fourth on the Heaven Ascension List, a top genius. Even a genius like Xiahou Ba was no match for him, let alone a True Martial Realm cultivator.
Xin Wuxing, on the other hand, did not respond. He only smiled. It was a chilling sight.
Qing Chen stood aside and did not interrupt.
After that, Chen Zong left and returned to Heaven Ascension City, accompanied by the Yin Yang Mysterious Sword couple. They chatted while protecting Chen Zong in case someone attacked him.
"Little friend, what reward did you get?" Yang Xuanjian finally could not help but ask curiously.
Both husband and wife had never tried the Heaven Ascension Tower because they were too old. Simply put, the Yin Yang Mysterious Sword couple's talent was not bad. They were geniuses, but they were not top geniuses. Their cultivation was slow in the early years, but they had some opportunities to grow. Now, they had reached the Transcendent Realm.
Chen Zong reached the tenth floor, which broke the century-old record. The reward must be extraordinary, so it was normal for the Yin Yang Mysterious Sword to be curious.
"If it's inconvenient, don't say it." Yang Xuanjian realized that he was being rude, so he added in a sincere tone.
"There's nothing inconvenient." Chen Zong smiled. With a flip of his hand, a strange-looking black token appeared. The token was shaped like a pagoda, exactly the same as the Heaven Ascension Pagoda.
.....................................................................
"Little friend, can I take a look?" Yang Xuanjian asked.
Chen Zong then handed the token to Yang Xuanjian. After Yang Xuanjian received it, he carefully studied it, but he still couldn't see through the profundity of the token.
Yin Xuanjian also studied it for a while, but he still couldn't find anything. The two of them were surprised.
Any treasure must have something extraordinary, be it its aura or other aspects. The Yin Yang Mysterious Sword was a late bloomer. He was very experienced and knowledgeable, but even so, he couldn't see any mysteries of this token, let alone Chen Zong.
"Little friend, maybe you can drip a drop of blood on it." Yang Xuanjian thought for a while, then returned the token to Chen Zong and suggested, "You reached the tenth floor, which is the highest record in a hundred years. There's no reason for you to get something useless."
"Yes, maybe this treasure is too mysterious. We can't see through it." Yin Xuanjian agreed.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Zong decided to give it a try. He cut his finger and squeezed out a drop of blood, dripping it onto the medallion. The three of them stared with wide eyes. That drop of blood didn't disperse, but instead quickly merged into the medallion. This scene caused the hearts of Chen Zong and the others to tremble.
[There's hope!]
If it was an ordinary item, even if the drop of blood could merge into it, it wouldn't be so thorough.
Shortly after, the token emitted a hazy black light that condensed into the faint image of a small pagoda. It was exactly the same as the Heaven Ascension Pagoda. Shortly after, the small pagoda image entered between Chen Zong's eyebrows. It was as if Chen Zong had been immobilized, unable to move.
In less than ten breaths, Chen Zong recovered, but he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Little friend, do you know what this is?" Yang Xuanjian couldn't help but ask.
"Tower Entry Token." Chen Zong didn't know how to describe his current mood, so his tone was a bit strange.
"Tower Entry Token?" Yin Yang Xuanjian frowned, even more puzzled.
What tower?
Heaven Ascension Tower?
If it's Heaven Ascension Tower, doesn't it only open once a year? There's no need for a Tower Entry Token.
"Simply put, with this token, within the next six months, I can enter the Heaven Ascension Tower again. There's no need to wait until next year." Chen Zong explained, then added, "Only I can use it."
Yin Yang Xuanjian suddenly understood, but immediately became very puzzled.
There was no need to wait until next year to enter again. It didn't seem to be very useful. After all, the purpose of challenging the Heaven Ascension Tower, besides training, was to obtain rewards. However, if one was given a Tower Entry Token after reaching the tenth floor, it meant that one could enter the tower again.
What was the point of entering the tower again? Naturally, it was to continue challenging the tower.
Could it be that if one reached the tenth floor again, there would be other rewards?
However, the reward for challenging the tower for the first time was often the best.
After some analysis, they came to a conclusion. This Tower Entry Token didn't have much value at all.
After all, only Chen Zong could use this condition. If this condition didn't exist, perhaps it could be traded, and someone might be willing to buy it at a good price.
"I think, the only value is that you can enter the tower at any time." Yang Xuanjian suddenly thought of something, then frowned and analyzed, "In half a year, perhaps your battle strength will improve greatly, and you will be able to pass the tenth floor, enter the unprecedented eleventh floor, and obtain the inheritance of Emperor Li Tian."
Yin Xuanjian and Chen Zong were both startled.
After thinking about it, this was indeed a possibility.
However, was it possible to improve his battle strength so much that he could pass the tenth floor in half a year?
It was hard to say.
"Anyway, since the Heaven Ascension Tower has rewarded you with a Tower Entry Token, perhaps it really has some use." Yang Xuanjian finally said, "Little friend, work hard and improve your battle strength as much as possible. Try to challenge the tower again in half a year. Perhaps you can really reach the eleventh floor."
Naturally, these words were more comforting.
The limit of Lv 9 True Martial Realm was the end of the True Martial Realm. As for Lv 10 True Martial Realm, it was too illusory. In the Ascending Heaven Region, no one had ever reached it. It was much more difficult than reaching the Perfection of Qi Refining Realm.
Even if there were some special methods to continue improving, it was not cultivation. The effect on battle strength was not particularly big, and it could not achieve the effect of rapid improvement.
Grasping the Minor True Meaning could indeed increase one's battle strength. However, the activation of the Minor True Meaning required a lot of mental energy. The True Martial Realm was destined to be a trump card.
After sending the Yin Yang Xuanjian couple off, Chen Zong sat down in the guest room and started to think carefully.
"The enemies on the tenth floor of the Heaven Ascension Tower are all at the peak of Five Star. Ordinary Six Star warriors would not be able to withstand them. The reason why I could last until the end was because of the fusion of eighty percent of my physique and eighty percent of my Zonghu True Force." Chen Zong thought to himself.
When Chen Zong's physical strength and Zonghuang True Force had fused to seventy percent, his battle power had increased to the early stage of Six Star. Although he had not reached the middle stage of Six Star yet, he was still stronger than a normal early stage Six Star.
Secondly, there was also Chen Zong's superb swordsmanship. He had reached the Perfect Realm of Body and Sword as One. This realm was something that many masters of swordsmanship could not achieve.
The combination of all these factors allowed Chen Zong to reach the end of the tenth floor. It seemed that he could pass the tenth floor by just a little bit.
However, just a little bit was like a natural chasm.
"Tower entry token … half a year …" Chen Zong held the tower entry token in his hand. There was a bright light in his eyes.
"If I can completely master the second change of mind, my battle strength will be even stronger. Maybe I can reach the middle Six Star level." Chen Zong thought to himself.
The higher the battle strength, the harder it was to improve.
The difference between the early Six Star level and the middle Six Star level was very obvious.
With the battle strength of the middle Six Star level, it was possible to pass the tenth floor and enter the eleventh floor.
As for whether it was true or not, Chen Zong could not be certain.
"Half a year. Then I will try my best to improve." Chen Zong thought to himself. He started to think about how to improve himself as much as possible in this half a year.
He had no clue how to reach the tenth stage of the True Martial Realm. He could put it aside for now. The most important thing now was to cultivate the change of mind.
He would first master the second change, then the third change.
In addition, he would use the ultimate move of the Zonghu Sword Codex. After reaching the tenth floor of the Sky Ascension Tower, he had comprehended it by chance and used it in one fell swoop. However, he still needed to perfect it.
"The people of the Nangong Family, the Xin Family, the Martial Saint Palace's Xiahou Family. They all want to kill me. Now that I can't break through to the Pseudo Transcendent Realm, I will cut off my future." Chen Zong thought again. His eyes were sharp, "If I leave the city, I will definitely be attacked by them."
It was not that Chen Zong was looking down on himself. It was indeed very difficult for him to fight against these forces. Even if he had some trump cards in hand, he could kill one or two of them. How could he kill all of them?
As for the protection of the Yin Yang Mysterious Sword, Chen Zong did not want to trouble the two of them. After all, he was a rogue cultivator. Although he was at the Extreme Mortal Realm, he had just broken through and might provoke the Transcendent Realm masters of these three forces. If the Transcendent Realm masters attacked the two of them, it would be an extremely bad ending.
"In that case, I will stay in Sky Ascension City and try to improve my battle strength as much as possible." Chen Zong thought to himself. His eyes were burning with anger and fighting spirit.
If he could cultivate the second change of mind, his battle strength might reach the middle Six Star level. If he could cultivate the third change of mind, his battle strength might increase even more. At that time, he would be able to challenge the Sky Ascension Tower.
