Chapter 567: Truly Different!

Liu Hong was thus teleported out, but he felt no disappointment at all.

This trip to the Heavenly Pagoda, he felt he had perfectly achieved his set goals and would surely make the three great sects take notice.

Once he came out, he would be courted by the three great sects and become a hot figure!

However, when he arrived at the main entrance of the Heavenly Pagoda, he found that no one was paying him any attention.

Everyone was staring at the light screen, as if from the few remaining names on it, they could see what was happening inside.

"Strange, I've come out, and they're still watching? Even if the chief disciples of the three sects are formidable, they can't last longer than me on the fifth level!" Liu Hong wondered inwardly.

Liu Hong was very curious. Everyone should know he had been teleported out, so why was no one paying attention to him?

According to his earlier thoughts, by now he would be surrounded by the various sects, warmly invited by Ning Yixian and the others to join the Boundless Alliance.

But what was happening before him was far from what he had expected.

His appearance seemed to draw no one's attention; everyone's focus was still on the Heavenly Pagoda inheritance.

As for the mysterious man's earlier words that Ye Yuan was different from them, Liu Hong had long since cast them aside.

He didn't believe anyone could achieve more dazzling results than him in this Heavenly Pagoda inheritance!

His only rivals were the chief disciples of the three sects!

But what was this situation now?

Unable to contain his curiosity, Liu Hong grabbed a loose cultivator disciple who had been expelled from the Heavenly Pagoda earlier and asked.

"The Heavenly Pagoda inheritance is almost over, right? What are they still watching?" Liu Hong asked.

The man turned back and, seeing it was Liu Hong, was slightly excited.

In this Heavenly Pagoda inheritance, Liu Hong had indeed achieved very dazzling results, and his status as a loose cultivator made him admired by many loose cultivators.

"So it's Senior Brother Liu! You're out! Senior Brother Liu has made a stunning debut this time, truly a role model for us loose cultivators!"

Flattered by this man, Liu Hong instantly regained his sense of existence. Suppressing his inner ecstasy, he pretended to be indifferent: "Not at all, not at all. We are all from loose cultivator backgrounds, naturally we should advance and retreat together."

The man was pleasantly surprised. Although he had also been selected to enter the Heavenly Pagoda inheritance, compared to Liu Hong, he was worlds apart. Being able to forge such a connection would be very useful for his future.

After all, everyone would soon join the Boundless Alliance, and with Liu Hong's strength, he would surely be valued.

"Senior Brother Liu is indeed humble, with the demeanor of a major sect disciple! After this Heavenly Pagoda inheritance, Senior Brother Liu will probably be the second person of the younger generation. Truly remarkable!" the loose cultivator exclaimed.

These words were originally flattery, but to Liu Hong they sounded very grating.

He was clearly the first person, wasn't he? How could he be the second?

Could it be that among those three, someone could break through the fifth level?

"By the way, why is everyone still staring at the Heavenly Pagoda? If nothing unexpected happens, this inheritance should end by tomorrow at the latest, right? Everyone should be preparing to leave," Liu Hong suppressed his displeasure and asked again.

"Uh, end? It's still early, isn't it? Look at that light screen; there's a gilded name on it. That person is amazing! Those old ancestors don't even dare to blink now, afraid of missing a historic moment!" the man praised with a click of his tongue.

Liu Hong followed his gaze and indeed saw a name in gilded color on the fifth level—it was Ye Yuan.

This shock was no small matter. Besides himself and the three chief disciples, there was actually another person who had entered the fifth level?

How was that possible?

He had been trapped in the Illusory Spirit Killing Array earlier and hadn't noticed Ye Yuan entering the fifth level.

"Does this gilded name have any special significance?" Liu Hong asked with a frown.

"Of course it has special significance! That gilded name represents a perfect clearance of the first three levels! Oh, perfect clearance means killing all the demonic beasts in the first three levels!"

The man, afraid Liu Hong didn't know the meaning of perfect clearance, specifically explained.

"What? Killed all? How is that possible?" Liu Hong nearly jumped up.

His shout immediately drew many glances toward him.

But none of those old ancestors turned around; their eyes remained fixed on the light screen.

Seeing Liu Hong's eyes wide open, the loose cultivator couldn't help but laugh: "Actually, when I heard the old ancestors say that, my reaction was the same as Senior Brother Liu's. But now it seems that Ye Yuan really did it, because the time he spent in the inheritance space is three times that of you few!"

Liu Hong gasped in cold air. This news was too shocking for him.

Suddenly, he remembered the words of the mysterious man in the inheritance space and shuddered.

"He is different from you!"

So, truly different!

Liu Hong didn't know where this Ye Yuan had come from, but he had crushed him utterly!

His gaze also locked onto the gilded name on the light screen, long silent.

...

"Hey, do you think Ye Yuan can pass this level?" Guo Taoqun asked the other two.

Yin Yanhua said coldly, "I have never doubted that Ye Yuan could pass the fifth level!"

Qin Yan said, "Ye Yuan clearly experienced something below that we don't know about, otherwise how could his cultivation have improved so quickly? When he was at the first level of Huahai, he killed a powerhouse at the Hunhai realm. Now that he's broken through to the fourth level peak of Huahai, his strength is really hard to estimate."

"Hmm? That's not right! Aren't these spirits supposed to be based on the level of the entering martial artist?" Guo Taoqun suddenly said.

The two of them changed expression upon hearing this, also noticing something wrong.

Earlier, when these phantom spirits killed Liu Hong, they were at the first level of Hunhai.

Now that Ye Yuan had entered the formation, they hadn't suppressed their cultivation but maintained the first level of Hunhai!

"Hiss... Are these spirits going to fight Ye Yuan at the Hunhai realm? This... this is too unfair, isn't it?" Qin Yan said in surprise.

Yin Yanhua frowned slightly and said, "It seems... these spirits' assessment of Ye Yuan's strength has already placed him at the level of the Hunhai realm!"

The three of them gasped in cold air...

On this fifth level, the artistic conception and martial skills of these phantom spirits were far stronger than on the fourth level!

In such a situation, they were still going to use Hunhai realm strength to deal with Ye Yuan—this was simply... too unfair.

In other words, the difficulty Ye Yuan faced in passing this level was several times theirs!

Could Ye Yuan really pass this level?

"Young man, on the fourth level, our strength was only thirty percent of the same realm, but now... we have seventy percent of our original strength! You'd better be careful!" Kuai Liang said.
