Chapter 547: The Heavenly Court Tower

"Father-in-law means... the Divine Realm?"

Although Ye Hang had already guessed it in his heart, uttering those two words still felt immensely heavy.

His own son had actually received the inheritance of a mighty being from the Divine Realm. This opportunity was truly heaven-defying!

But thinking about how his son had risen against the heavens from the small Qin Kingdom, perhaps only such an explanation made sense.

Ren Xingchun nodded, his face solemn. "In my opinion, the strong one who taught in the dream is probably an extremely powerful existence even in the Divine Realm! Ye Yuan's level in alchemy is far beyond just surpassing an Alchemy Emperor!"

Ye Hang's heart tightened slightly. He really couldn't fathom how strong 'extremely powerful' was.

In Ye Hang's view, Ren Xingchun was already suffocatingly powerful. How strong would a mighty being from the Divine Realm be?

The exchange between the small world and the Divine Realm was too scarce; the lower realm simply couldn't obtain information about the Divine Realm.

The more this was the case, the more mysterious the Divine Realm seemed to the lower realm martial artists.

But there was no doubt that the strength of those mighty beings in the Divine Realm was completely beyond their imagination.

"Old Hai values Ye Yuan so much, probably also because he sees the mighty being behind Ye Yuan. Otherwise, given his level, even if Ye Yuan were talented, he wouldn't have treated him as a brother."

Ren Xingchun was no fool. After learning Ye Yuan's 'background', he had figured out Qi Hai's thoughts to a large extent.

Ye Hang didn't care much about these things. As long as Ye Yuan was safe and sound, he was content.

Of course, he was very proud that his son had become the inheritor of a Divine Realm mighty being.

With his son so outstanding, Ye Hang, as the father, naturally couldn't bring shame to his son. At the very least, he had to stand at the peak of this Boundless Realm!

And now, Ye Hang finally understood how heaven-defying the two techniques Ye Yuan had taught him were.

They were definitely powerful techniques from the Divine Realm. If he sat on a treasure mountain and still couldn't reach the peak, he would be too incompetent.

"The fewer people who know about this, the better. Otherwise, I'm afraid someone might harm him. But I estimate that the old fellows from the three sects have some guesses, just not sure. Tomorrow, I'll personally take Ye Yuan to the Heavenly Court Secret Realm. The City Lord's Mansion affairs will be left to Yujie and you," Ren Xingchun said.

Ye Hang nodded. "Father-in-law, rest assured. I know my limits."

...

Early the next morning, Ye Yuan bid farewell to his parents and followed Ren Yujie to the Heavenly Court Secret Realm.

Previously, this Heavenly Court Secret Realm was controlled by the three sects, and even Boundless City couldn't intervene.

But this time, the Heavenly Court Secret Realm was open to everyone, giving those who had lost hope a chance to keep pace with the geniuses.

This time, including Ren Dong and Cao Fang, the young talents of Boundless City also gained entry qualifications.

The Heavenly Court Secret Realm was located at the junction of the three sects' territories, quite a distance from Boundless City.

However, riding a spirit boat of the Mysterious grade, Ren Xingchun arrived in just three days.

The Heavenly Court Secret Realm had long been taken over by the three sects, so there was no danger inside.

By the time Ye Yuan's group arrived, several hundred people were already waiting in the secret realm.

Each time the Heavenly Court Tower opened, there were only three hundred slots.

In fact, the three sects never filled all the slots in previous openings. Only this time did they fill them to the full three hundred.

This time, with the three sects opening the Heavenly Court Tower, many eligible independent cultivators naturally didn't want to miss out. The three sects screened and selected fifty qualified independent cultivators.

Major forces in the Northern Domain other than the three sects also selected a hundred talented martial artists, and Ye Yuan's group's slots were among them.

The remaining one hundred and fifty slots were divided equally among the three sects, fifty each.

All in all, the three sects still held an absolute dominant position.

But this couldn't be blamed on them; after all, the three sects were the strongest in the entire Boundless Realm.

Opening the secret realm was already the greatest favor to others.

As soon as he entered the secret realm, Ye Yuan saw a giant tower in the distance, majestic and spectacular.

Even from such a distance, Ye Yuan could clearly feel the ancient and mysterious aura emanating from the tower.

Ye Yuan's heart tightened. This Heavenly Court Tower was definitely extraordinary!

He just wondered what kind of inheritance lay within, enabling that old fellow Lu Linfeng to reach such a level!

Ren Xingchun seemed to notice Ye Yuan's confusion and explained, "No one knows the origin of the Heavenly Court Tower. It seems to have stood here since the formation of the Boundless Realm. Over the past ten thousand years, the tower has witnessed dozens of ruling powers but has never fallen. In the last ten thousand years, hundreds of thousands of talented martial artists have entered, but only one has managed to reach the eighth floor! The vast majority can't even get past the fifth floor! Yet even the fifth floor yields unimaginable benefits."

Ye Yuan's interest was piqued. "Oh? What kind of benefits?"

"Techniques, martial skills, pills, weapons, and so on—all sorts. The more floors you clear, the richer the rewards. Even a first-grade martial skill obtained from the Heavenly Court Tower is incredibly heaven-defying! After practicing it, one can almost sweep through those of the same level!" Ren Xingchun said.

Ye Yuan didn't really care about these things. His techniques and martial skills were already heaven-defying enough. Without using the ones here, he could still sweep through those of the same level.

"Anything else?" Ye Yuan asked.

Ren Xingchun wasn't surprised by Ye Yuan's reaction. He knew Ye Yuan's strength; these things held no appeal for him.

"Insight comprehension!" Ren Xingchun said.

Ye Yuan's eyes lit up. "Oh? How so?"

"I don't know the specifics either. But I do know that all martial artists who cleared the fifth floor and entered the sixth floor later ascended to the Divine Realm! However, in the last thousand years, no one has entered the sixth floor. Many have reached the fifth floor but ultimately failed. In the last hundred years, not a single person has even cleared the fourth floor!" Ren Xingchun said with a bitter smile.

The Boundless Realm had been too embarrassing in the past century—not even one person clearing the fourth floor. No wonder its strength was so poor.

But this was also related to the monopoly of the three sects. If the slots had been evenly distributed to other forces and independent cultivators, perhaps a stunning genius might have emerged.

This closed-door approach had ultimately led to a decline in talent.

Ye Yuan nodded slightly. He figured that Lu Linfeng must have comprehended the insight of formations in the Heavenly Court Tower, which allowed him to soar.

But Ye Yuan was very curious about what kind of existence the Heavenly Court Tower really was.

When Lu Linfeng was in the lower realm, the insight he comprehended already far surpassed the small world of the Boundless Realm. And he only cleared the seventh floor. So the things on the eighth and ninth floors should reach the level of the Divine Realm!

Why would such an existence appear in the Boundless Realm?
