Even the strongest young geniuses of the Jindi Ancient Clan could only break through to the fifteenth floor!
"Once he entered, although it took Ye Chen ten days of cultivation to finally defeat the guardian on the fourteenth floor, it wasn't as smooth as the earlier challenges, yet he still managed to break into the fifteenth floor!"
"He has reached the best record in the challenge of the Ancient God Tower, meeting the highest reward requirements set by the old master!"
The Spirit of the Sacred Artifact became excited, for it had finally found the person it had been waiting for!
"Come on, little guy, the person who will take you out of the Ethereal Spirit Holy Temple has been confirmed, and it's Ye Chen!"
The Spirit of the Sacred Artifact reached out into the void toward the golden lake, and the golden monkey playing in the golden lake was directly pulled into the space of the Ancient God Tower.
As soon as it entered the space of the Ancient God Tower, the golden monkey was extremely excited.
It had always been able to see this ancient tower from the bottom of the lake but had never been able to enter its space, which frustrated the little guy. It hadn't expected to actually be able to come here this time.
At this moment, the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact transformed into a hundred-meter-tall giant golden monkey, standing outside the Ancient God Tower. It opened its hand wide and placed the golden monkey onto its palm.
The golden monkey curiously looked at the incarnation of the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact.
Smiling gently at the golden monkey, the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact pointed towards Ye Chen inside the Ancient God Tower, "Little one, watch the other little guy who is going to take you away from the Ethereal Spirit Holy Temple as he takes on the challenge!"
"He has now met the old master's requirements. Just wait for him to come out of the tower, and he will leave here with the highest reward, taking you with him!"
"I hope he can also break through the fifteenth floor. I have never seen the last three levels being activated before!"
As the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact spoke, it looked towards the inside of the Ancient God Tower.
And the golden monkey, as if it understood the words of the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact, gazed unblinkingly at Ye Chen with its eyes that shone like black jewels.
The little guy was clearly very curious about Ye Chen, who was challenging the tower!
"This is the fifteenth floor of the Ancient God Tower?"
Ye Chen did not know that he had already met the requirements for Heavenly Saint Di Kong's highest reward.
He was still attempting to continue his challenge through the final few levels of the Ancient God Tower!
Ye Chen looked at the space of the fifteenth floor he just entered, and at this moment, the space of the fifteenth floor of the Ancient God Tower had turned into a vast expanse of a blood-red landscape.
In the sky above, there were blood-red fire clouds everywhere, and on the ground below, there were blood-red plants all around.
As Ye Chen pushed his way up the Ancient God Tower, he found that inside the tower, different from its appearance from the outside, the tower's body shrank as it rose from the outside. Yet inside the Ancient God Tower, the higher he went, the larger the inner space of the tower became!
Clearly, the Ancient God Tower not only involved the Time Law but also the Space Law!
The guardians Ye Chen had faced in the previous nine levels were all huge stone puppets, and with the tower levels getting higher, not only did the space inside the tower get larger, but the combat power of the guardians also increased rapidly!
By the ninth floor, the combat power of the huge stone puppets had reached the level of Ye Chen's strength when he first entered the Ancient God Tower.
If it weren't for Ye Chen having spent a great deal of time cultivating in the first nine levels, and significantly improving his strength, he really might have fallen at the ninth level.
After breaking into the tenth level of the Ancient God Tower, Ye Chen discovered that the guardians of each level were no longer those gigantic stone puppets but had undergone new changes.
The guardian of the tenth level was a one-horned lizard!
The eleventh level featured a humanoid beast with three horns!
The twelfth level was guarded by a skeleton puppet wielding a bone spur...
Although the guardians of each level varied, without exception, as one ascended higher, the strength of the guardians increased.
By the fourteenth level, the guardian Ye Chen faced had transformed into a seventeen-or-eighteen-metre tall exotic humanoid beast covered with blue patterns, and its strength was unbelievably formidable!
When Ye Chen entered the fourteenth level, he had already been cultivating inside the Ancient God Tower for a total of three hundred and ninety days; he had managed to cultivate Gang Yuan True Qi in eight of his nine True Qi Vortices, drawing ever closer to completing the second layer of the Primordial Star Scripture, the "Gang Yuan Mantra".
This was still the result of Ye Chen focusing on cultivating Gang Yuan True Qi, desiring to unlock the third layer of the "Gang Yuan Chapter" of the Primordial Star Scripture sooner rather than specifically cultivating his True Qi Realm.
Otherwise, even though the amount of True Qi required for advancement in the True Qi Realm increases in the latter stages, Ye Chen would have been able to break through directly to the eleventh or even twelfth level of the True Qi Realm!
The more True Qi one has, the more difficult it becomes to convert all of it into Gang Yuan True Qi.
At this critical moment, where there was an urgent need to enhance his power, Ye Chen naturally chose to first cultivate Gang Yuan True Qi, attempting to convert all his True Qi into Gang Yuan True Qi as soon as possible, complete the "Gang Yuan Mantra" to Great Accomplishment, and then re-enter Starlight Tower to obtain the even stronger subsequent Cultivation Technique of the Primordial Star Scripture!
While cultivating Gang Yuan True Qi, Ye Chen also mastered a fourth powerful Sword Intent—the Sword Intent of Thunder!
In martial skills, his gains were even greater. On the basis of the two sub Cultivation Techniques, "Wind Sword Skills" and "Thunder Sword Skills," he finally completed the training of the "Wind and Thunder Combined Strike Sword Skills."
On the foundation of "Wind Movement Skills" and "Thunder Movement Skills," he also brought the "Wind-Thunder Wings" to Great Accomplishment.
Ye Chen finally completed the thorough cultivation of the two top-grade Xuan-level Cultivation Techniques, "Wind Thunder Sword Skills" and "Wind Thunder Movement".
Not only had he brought the Wind Thunder Sword Skills and Wind Thunder Movement Skills to Great Accomplishment, but he had also spent a long time cultivating the bone-text secret Inheritance Technique obtained from the Ancient Furnace of Creation and the Innate Essence Map exchanged at the Myriad Treasures Stele, greatly benefiting from them.
Even so, upon first entering the fourteenth level, Ye Chen did not instantly defeat the blue-patterned humanoid beast but persisted through ten days of arduous training. It was only after he had thoroughly integrated various martial techniques that he was able to defeat the blue-patterned humanoid beast and break through to the fifteenth level of the Ancient God Tower.
When Ye Chen first entered the tower, he was already powerful enough to dominate opponents in the eleventh level of the True Qi Realm. By the time he reached the seventh level, Ye Chen was confident enough to suppress warriors in the twelfth level of the True Qi Realm!
By the time he reached the fourteenth level, Ye Chen had been cultivating inside the Ancient God Tower for three hundred and ninety days, surpassing a year's time!
With his mastery of the four Sword Intents, the top-tier Xuan-level Cultivation Techniques, and the Gang Yuan True Qi that was even more powerful than the Heaven and Earth True Qi, his arsenal of techniques had long given him the strength to battle with early-stage warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm!
Ye Chen had a feeling that the blue-patterned humanoid beast really did possess the strength of an early-stage Spirit Sea Realm warrior.
The guardian of the fourteenth level was that strong.
Ye Chen was no longer sure what kind of opponent he would face in the fifteenth level!
As Ye Chen was assessing the crimson-colored world of the fifteenth level of the Ancient God Tower, a breathtakingly beautiful woman with snow-white wings on her back suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Congratulations on breaking into the fifteenth level of the Ancient God Tower!"
"In the fifteenth level, your opponent will be me, Luo Qianxue, an invincible True Qi Realm master from the 'Flying Spirit Clan'!"
The stunning woman gave Ye Chen a faint smile, speaking softly.
