Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 1495: Heaven Tower
Just as the two were chatting a bit more, Ji Ping also walked over.
"I just went to the courtyard to find you. I heard you and Father were here, so I guessed you'd be here."
Ji Ping walked in and said with a smile.
"Alright, I'll leave you young people to chat. I'll head off first."
Ji Tianhong smiled, stood up, and then said:
"Ji Ping, since you're here, go ahead and tell Su Chen about that matter."
"Okay, Father. I came to find him just to discuss that matter with him."
Ji Ping said with a smile.
"Hmm."
Ji Tianhong nodded. He originally planned to tell Su Chen himself, but since Ji Ping was here, he could share it just as well.
"Ji Ping, what's the mystery you two are hiding? What exactly is it?"
After Ji Tianhong left, Su Chen asked curiously.
"Have you heard of the Heaven Tower?"
Ji Ping said to Su Chen.
"Heaven Tower? What's that?"
Su Chen asked, somewhat puzzled:
"I've never heard of it."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ping wasn't surprised, as he knew this was only Su Chen's first visit to the Ruin Realm, and most of his time had been spent with their family, so it was normal that he wouldn't know.
Of course, it wouldn't be strange if he had heard about it from elsewhere.
"The Heaven Tower is located at the relatively central part of the Ruin Realm. It opens for three days each year, twenty or so days from now!"
Ji Ping said:
"Every year at this time, most of the young talents in the Ruin Realm attempt to challenge the Heaven Tower!"
"Challenge the Heaven Tower? How does that work?"
The more Su Chen listened, the more intrigued and puzzled he became.
"The Heaven Tower has a total of nine levels. You start at the first level, and each level presents different challenges. You can only proceed to the next level by passing the challenges."
Ji Ping explained solemnly:
"There's an old saying in the Ruin Realm—'Challenge the Heaven Tower to prove your Martial Arts!'"
When Su Chen heard this, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly!
'Prove your Martial Arts'—these four words are quite grand!
Though he said nothing, he continued listening to Ji Ping.
"Challenging the Heaven Tower requires a martial artist to meet conditions in many aspects, such as strength, talent, perseverance, and sometimes even luck!"
"Have you challenged it?"
Su Chen asked with a slight smile.
"It's open every year, so of course I've challenged it."
Ji Ping smiled and said:
"I've been there four times. The first two times, I couldn't even pass the first level. In the past two years, I've advanced to the Minor Perfection of the Condensation Pill Realm, so I passed the first level, but still failed at the second."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen was somewhat shocked!
To think that even the Minor Perfection of the Condensation Pill Realm only cleared the first level, it seems the Heaven Tower's challenges are truly not easy!
"Oh, I heard you mention that it's usually young people who challenge it; wouldn't those with higher realms, like the Heaven's Ultimate Realm, have a better chance?"
Su Chen thought for a moment and asked.
"That's something you might not know. The first test of the Heaven Tower is the root bone. Those over thirty simply cannot enter!"
Ji Ping explained.
Su Chen nodded at this, coming to an understanding.
"However, those Heaven's Ultimate Realm experts also challenged the Heaven Tower when they were young and greatly benefited from it. Therefore, in the Ruin Realm, any outstanding youth must challenge the Heaven Tower."
"What's the highest level cleared in history?"
Su Chen asked curiously.
"Seven levels, but that was a very long time ago, possibly over a thousand years. That person was once the most powerful existence in the Ruin Realm and the brightest star, with extraordinary talent and truly monstrous abilities!"
Ji Ping said with deep admiration, longing, and immense respect.
Listening to this, Su Chen felt it was indeed impressive, but not to the extent of making him worshipful.
Ji Ping then continued to introduce some aspects about the Heaven Tower and asked:
"Are you interested in trying it out with us when the time comes?"
In Ji Ping's view, since Su Chen could defeat Liang Song, he must be remarkable and might even pass the second, or even third, challenge!
"Sure, let's give it a shot when the time comes!"
Su Chen nodded slightly, smiling. His trip to the Ruin Realm was out of curiosity and a quest for higher Martial Arts.
Now hearing about such a fascinating place, he naturally didn't want to miss it!
He's curious about how difficult it really is to challenge the Heaven Tower!
"Oh, by the way, congratulations on your breakthrough!"
Su Chen then said with a smile.
When Ji Ping walked in earlier, he hadn't concealed his aura, and Su Chen could tell at a glance that he had already reached the Perfection of the Condensation Pill Realm.
"It's alright, it's alright."
Ji Ping smiled and said:
"I've been focusing on cultivation lately, and have been taking the elixirs you made quite liberally, aiming to improve my strength quickly. Hopefully, this time, I can pass the second level of the Heaven Tower!"
"I believe you can do it!"
Su Chen encouraged him with a smile.
"Thank you for your kind words, let's hope so!"
Ji Ping smiled and said:
"Okay, let's train diligently and try to achieve some good results when the time comes!"
"Hmm."
Su Chen nodded with a smile.
After chatting for a few more moments, Su Chen returned to the little courtyard at Zhou Ying's house.
Zhou Ying was practicing, so he went back to his room to cultivate, not specifically for the Heaven Tower challenge, but out of habit!
The power of habit is immense; when cultivation becomes a habit, even those with average talent can achieve something!
After a few hours of cultivation, Su Chen started contemplating the two divine skills, "Thousand Hand Seal" and "Wind Shadow Step."
After two or three hours of contemplation, he returned to the place where he had last perfected the "Wind Shadow Step." This place wasn't frequented, making it ideal for him to experiment and contemplate.
Soon, a figure began darting through the forest, and when he reached his peak, it was nearly impossible for others to see him!
All one could see in the void were palm prints exploding with a thunderous force, almost breaking through the void with their formidable and violent energy!
However, after experimenting for over an hour, Su Chen was a bit exhausted, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. Just like most times, he hadn't gained much from it!
But this was normal. Many failures are often needed to achieve a breakthrough, even for someone with Su Chen's remarkable comprehension!
Su Chen reflected on the earlier process to see if there was anything worth pondering. After thinking for a while, he didn't come up with much, so he headed back; there was no rush for such things!
When he returned, Zhou Shan and his wife were already back and cooking dinner. A delicious aroma was wafting over, making one's mouth water!
After a while, Zhou Ying came to call him for dinner. When he arrived, Jiang Ping had already served him a bowl, so Su Chen thanked her and sat down to eat.
Su Chen quite enjoyed this simple life.
After dinner, he chatted leisurely with Zhou Shan and his wife before heading back . . .
