Yi Yun and Lin Xintong walked calmly into the gigantic pagoda. On the first level of the gigantic pagoda, there was a teleportation array. Yi Yun and Lin Xintong walked into it, and with a flash, the two of them arrived at the highest level of the gigantic pagoda. Here, there was a grand hall. The grand hall was decorated very simply. There was a black stone round table, and around the round table, there were extremely textured Frost Iron chairs. Every chair was cast into the ground. The position of the chairs represented one's status.
The moment Yi Yun entered the grand hall, he looked at the few seats facing the door. According to tradition, the seats facing the door and in the middle were the seats of honor. And at this moment, three of these seats were empty.
Around them, there were more than ten legendary Tian Yuan world figures scattered about. These people had different expressions. Many of them smiled at Yi Yun's arrival, but there were some who reacted coldly. They only glanced at Yi Yun and Lin Xintong lightly before going about their own business.
Yi Yun did not feel much towards these people's reactions. Only the Heavens knew if the people who smiled at him were planning on killing him and robbing him of his belongings.
Soon, Yi Yun felt a sharp gaze from one of the legendary Tian Yuan world figures. With a thought, he looked up and saw a green-robed middle-aged man with a jade ring sitting in the middle, just one seat away from the three empty seats. He was looking at Yi Yun and Lin Xintong with narrowed eyes.
Although this person was a middle-aged man, Yi Yun actually felt that he was not an old monster. The reason was because Yi Yun could not sense much vital potential from his body.
An old man could maintain a youthful appearance only because of a youthful technique. In fact, to warriors, the length of their lifespan did not have much to do with their youthful looks. Many female warriors who were obsessed with beauty would maintain the appearance of a beautiful young woman until the end of their lifespans. They would not hesitate to pay a great price, or even sacrifice a portion of their energy to maintain their youthful appearance. However, in the last one or two years of their lives, they would rapidly age. They would age until their faces were covered in wrinkles and their hair turned white. Only then would they die.
Noticing that Yi Yun and the green-robed man were looking at each other, Lin Xintong's voice transmission rang in Yi Yun's ears. She said, "Yi Yun, this green-robed middle-aged man is the Shen Tu Patriarch."
Shen Tu Patriarch?
Yi Yun's eyes flashed. So he was Shen Tu Patriarch. He was sitting in the middle of the round table, so he was clearly not weak.
And in fact, Yi Yun could already sense Shen Tu Patriarch's cultivation level.
That was the realm above the Natal Opening Realm, the Heavenly Completion Realm.
Warriors who practiced martial arts first tempered their bodies. From the Mortal Blood realm to the Purple Blood realm, with a physical foundation, they could lay down the Yuan foundation. A Dao Seed would be planted in the Yuan foundation, and the Dao Seed would give birth to a divine tree. And this divine tree would constantly grow until it reached the divine firmament, reaching the Heavenly Dao. Then, it would pave the path to heaven.
Therefore, the next realm after the Natal Opening Realm was called Heavenly Connection.
In the Tian Yuan world, there were very few people who could reach the Heaven Ascension realm. Even the geniuses from the large factions who had the qualifications to enter the Heavenly Blood Union previously had less than a percent chance of reaching the Heaven Ascension realm if they developed normally.
Such people were addressed as Empyreal Kings, Great Emperors or Patriarchs in the Tian Yuan world. They were mighty figures that truly stood at the pinnacle of the Tian Yuan world. They controlled the lives and deaths of billions of people.
And the standard to measure a top faction in the Tian Yuan world was to see if the faction had a Heaven Ascension expert presiding over it. For example, the Li Fire Sect and the Shen Tu family clan were ranked because they had such Patriarchs.
As many ancient heritages had been lost, coupled with limited resources, if a Tian Yuan world warrior wanted to break through to the Heaven Ascension realm, not only did they need heaven-defying talent, they also needed a certain amount of luck. Typically, to reach the early stages of the Heaven Ascension realm, it would take a top faction tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years of accumulated luck and heritage.
And to reach the middle stages of the Heaven Ascension realm? That was too difficult!
For example, Yi Yun had determined that Shen Tu Patriarch's cultivation level was at the early stages of the Heaven Ascension realm. However, amongst the early stages of the Heaven Ascension realm, he was considered relatively strong.
Actually, as there were too few Heaven Ascension experts in the Tian Yuan world, many warriors had yet to reach the Heaven Ascension realm. Even when they were at the half-step Heaven Ascension realm, many people would address them as Empyreal Kings. After all, Empyreal King was just a title. It was just a form of flattery. It was nothing to address half-step Heaven Ascension experts as Empyreal Kings, Patriarchs or Great Emperors.
Hence, in the Tian Yuan world, the number of people with the title of Empyreal King was much higher than the number of true Heaven Ascension experts. And to juniors, the cultivation levels of these Empyreal Kings were just too high. They could not see through them, so no one knew who was at the true Heaven Ascension realm or half-step Heaven Ascension realm.
As for Shen Tu Patriarch, he had already been at the Heaven Ascension realm for tens of thousands of years. This was also the reason why the Shepherd Boy was no match for Shen Tu Patriarch.
Yi Yun looked at Shen Tu Patriarch, and Shen Tu Patriarch looked back at Yi Yun. He gently stroked his chin as he squinted his eyes with a meaningful look.
No one knew what this elder, whose family clan had a grudge with Yi Yun, was thinking at this moment. Even his most beloved grandson, Shen Tu Nantian, had been killed by Yi Yun.
"Yi Yun, it looks like the Tian Yuan Elder Consortium did not have good intentions in inviting us. The person beside Shen Tu Patriarch, if I'm not wrong, is the Li Fire Sect's Li Fire Granny."
Following Lin Xintong's words, Yi Yun turned his gaze slightly. Beside Shen Tu Patriarch sat a thin old woman. She was dressed in gray clothes, and her white hair was tied up into a bun with a wooden hairpin.
Be it the clothes she wore or the style of the wooden hairpin, they all looked extremely old. If not for Yi Yun's extraordinary strength, allowing him to see through her cultivation level, this old woman would be no different from an ordinary village granny. If she was thrown into a remote village, it would be difficult to find her.
Even when Yi Yun and Lin Xintong entered the grand hall, Shen Tu Patriarch still looked over with a sharp gaze. As for this old woman, she was holding a teapot and slowly drinking tea. She turned a blind eye to Yi Yun and Lin Xintong.
It was hard to imagine that the Li Fire Sect that this old woman belonged to had a grudge with Yi Yun.
Amongst this group of old freaks with different thoughts, Yi Yun sat down with Lin Xintong in a natural manner, right in the middle of these old freaks.
However, the atmosphere was rather cold. Other than a few legendary figures who had the intention of befriending Yi Yun and exchanging a few words with Yi Yun, no one else said a word.
Slowly, everyone fell silent. The legendary figures who were exchanging pleasantries with Yi Yun also slowly stopped speaking. As the atmosphere in the grand hall became more and more silent, and even a bit heavy, three people walked out from a side chamber of the grand hall.
These three people, two men and a woman, walked straight to the seats in the middle of the round table.
The three people looked at Yi Yun and Lin Xintong. One of the men and woman had a smile on their faces, while the last person was expressionless.
Yi Yun sighed slightly. Without a doubt, these three people were the people in charge of the Tian Yuan world's Elder Consortium!
