Nine Realms Sword Emperor-Chapter 1403 - 1404: Enormous Benefits

This Martial Tower is extremely similar to the Heaven-reaching Path that Chu Fengmian saw in the Wusheng Academy.

However, the Heaven-reaching Path relies on the ability of martial artists to fight across realms, while this Martial Tower tests the martial artist’s comprehension of martial arts.

The higher the comprehension of martial arts, the stronger the power that can be unleashed in the same realm. Crossing realms in battle relies precisely on comprehension of martial arts.

This first level poses no pressure for Qing Meng at all.

Very quickly, the second level of the Martial Tower also revealed a white light, showing Qing Meng had already reached the third level.

Time passed by second by second.

Fourth level, fifth level, sixth level.

Qing Meng advanced bravely, reaching the thirteenth level in no time.

At the thirteenth level, there was a stalemate for a full hour before the thirteenth level was lit up.

Afterward, as soon as she stepped into the fourteenth level, the restrictions on the Martial Tower started to rotate, and then a figure flew out from within.

"Qing Meng only reached the thirteenth level?"

Seeing this result, Chu Fengmian felt a bit surprised.

Qing Meng is a Peerless Ancient Emperor; in terms of talent, within the Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable’s mansion, no Ancient Emperor’s talent can compare to Qing Meng’s.

In the entire Great Luotian Star Region, there are very few talents who can match Qing Meng in terms of talent.

Chu Fengmian could already see that Qing Meng’s martial comprehension was deeper than many others of the same Eight Tribulation Ancient Emperor level. That Azure Light was the manifestation of her martial arts.

Chu Fengmian originally thought that even if Qing Meng couldn’t clear all twenty-one levels, reaching the seventeenth or eighteenth wouldn’t be a problem.

Thirteen levels, this number was much lower than Chu Fengmian had guessed.

"It seems the difficulty of this Martial Tower is indeed terrifying."

Chu Fengmian sighed inwardly.

However, this Martial Tower was set up by Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable, so for someone of Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable’s level, this Martial Tower shouldn’t be difficult.

After all, Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable once created unparalleled immortal techniques, capable of annihilating heavenly beings at the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor realm.

Being able to create such powerful immortal techniques shows Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable’s comprehension in martial arts.

Boom!

Thirteen beams of light shot into the sky, announcing the result of Qing Meng’s attempt.

These thirteen beams of light gathered in the air and suddenly fell in front of Qing Meng, who grabbed them into her palm.

"Original Emperor Pill?"

Chu Fengmian looked over; in Qing Meng’s palm was indeed an elixir pill, a famed Ancient Saint Pill from ancient times.

Original Emperor Pill.

It is said to be the first holy pill useful to Emperor Realm experts in the world; once taken, it is enough to elevate the realm of an Ancient Emperor directly by one level.

In the Ancient Emperor realm, breaking through by one level requires at least thousands of years of rigorous cultivation for many Ancient Emperors. Even for a talented Peerless Ancient Emperor like Qing Meng, a hundred years are needed.

Take Old Man Sword Bone, who has been stagnant at the peak of the Seven Tribulations Ancient Emperor for a long time without successfully breaking through to the Eight Tribulations Ancient Emperor, demonstrating the difficulty of breaking through in the Ancient Emperor realm.

And this Original Emperor Pill, once utilized well, makes breaking through one level in the Ancient Emperor realm not an issue. Now Qing Meng has reached the Eight Tribulations Ancient Emperor level.

Once she finds an opportunity and utilizes an Original Emperor Pill well, it will be enough to advance her realm further, stepping into the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor. By then, she will be just a step away from the Heavenly Human Realm.

Clearing the Martial Tower comes with rewards. It seems Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable is really generous to have left an Original Emperor Pill on the thirteenth level.

"Such fortune, in the future when you step into Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor, we probably won’t dare become your enemy."

Yan Huang looked at the Original Emperor Pill in Qing Meng’s hand, speaking with great envy.

This Original Emperor Pill almost represents that Qing Meng has one foot into the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor realm.

Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperors are legendary figures. Even if they fall, they leave names in history.

Such powerful figures, without exception, aim to challenge the Heavenly Human Realm, so few Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperors appear:

"Yan Huang is too polite. With Yan Huang’s martial comprehension, the reward might not be below mine."

Qing Meng looked at Yan Huang and smiled.

"Please go ahead, Yan Huang."

"Alright, let me give it a try."

Yan Huang chuckled heartily and stepped forward to the Martial Tower.

Soon, his figure fell into the Martial Tower, and the first level was quickly lit up.

Second level, third level.

Yan Huang’s speed wasn’t inferior to Qing Meng’s at all.

This made Chu Fengmian’s eyes show a hint of surprise.

Qing Meng noticed the surprise in Chu Fengmian’s eyes and spoke slowly.

"Yan Huang has extremely high aptitude; the four great powers have all tried to recruit him, but he is naturally free-spirited, so he hasn’t joined any. If he wished, the four great powers would offer great benefits to recruit him."

"If there’s a chance, you should make friends with him."

Chu Fengmian nodded.

Yan Huang hadn’t shown any hostility towards him, and his personality was to Chu Fengmian’s liking.

But now wasn’t the time to make friends; at least within the Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable’s mansion, Chu Fengmian wouldn’t trust anyone other than Qing Meng.

After a while, Yan Huang’s ascent slowed down, and he was transported out at the twelfth level.

Twelve levels, just one less than Qing Meng.

Twelve beams of light fell before Yan Huang. What was in his hand seemed to be a ring, possibly a Heavenly Tier Spiritual Artifact.

But compared to ordinary Heavenly Tier Spiritual Artifacts, this one evidently bore some heavenly force, making it much more powerful.

"Is this the Nine Profound Ring?"

Qing Meng asked curiously.

Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable once had a ring named the Nine Profound Ring, which once activated, could enhance a martial artist’s demon power by double.

"No, just an imitation of the Nine Profound Ring, but it was still personally crafted by Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable."

Yan Huang laughed and said, clearly pleased to have obtained this ring.

"This ring only has half the power of the Nine Profound Ring, but it can enhance my power by fifty percent."

Enhancing power by fifty percent.

Chu Fengmian and Qing Meng’s eyes flashed with amazement; fifty percent power boost for an Eight Tribulations Ancient Emperor was unbelievably terrifying.

Having obtained this ring, in the future, Yan Huang would probably be nearly invincible among Eight Tribulations Ancient Emperors.

Although the ring’s value doesn’t match the Original Emperor Pill, it is still an incredibly precious spiritual artifact that cannot easily be obtained regardless of the resources spent outside.

"This Jiuxuan Immortal Venerable’s mansion truly is a treasure trove; leaving here now would still be worthwhile."

Yan Huang couldn’t help but sigh.

Having obtained this ring, he didn’t regret this journey.
