"Hahaha... I've made it onto the Wheel Sea Ranking, 9578th place."
Following that, a fist-sized, misty white light flew out from the Taisu Tower, hovering in front of the mid-stage Wheel Sea disciple.
He reached out his hand, and as the mist dissipated, it revealed a Profound-Grade Spirit Awakening Fruit.
The surrounding Wheel Sea Realm disciples couldn't help but show envy on their faces.
They secretly cursed this guy for his incredible luck.
With this Spirit Awakening Fruit, his chances of breaking through to the Divine Bridge Realm would increase by at least fifty percent.
How could this not make the ordinary disciples envious...
In the vast plaza stretching for miles, such scenes were happening every moment.
There were those who were overjoyed, and naturally, there were those who were disappointed.
There were those who laughed heartily, and those who sobbed quietly.
The myriad aspects of life were all present here.
Above the plaza, five thousand meters high, clouds and mist swirled.
An old man in a black robe, with an immortal demeanor, and a beautiful woman in a red feather dress with a lotus mark on her forehead, stood in the void, looking down.
"Hehe, the grand event that occurs once every thirty years is indeed lively," the black-robed elder chuckled while stroking his beard.
"I wonder if this time there will be a disciple who breaks the record," the beautiful woman's voice was charming, yet her expression was extremely indifferent. The blend of allure and coldness on her made her uniquely attractive.
Both were elders of Taisu Peak, with cultivation bases at the peak of the Lesser Saint realm.
Their powerful aura suppressed the clouds within a radius of ten thousand meters, not daring to move an inch.
"Old Man Huang, who do you favor?" Mo Feiyan asked casually, her eyes slightly moving.
Old Man Huang stroked his beard, "I have high hopes for Ye Fan. This boy has immense potential, a solid foundation, and exceptional talent, perseverance, and fortune."
"He might make it into the top ten of the Divine Bridge Monument."
"Top ten? That's not so easy."
"The last five openings of the Taisu Tower, no one has made it into the top ten of the Seven Monuments..." Mo Feiyan shook her head.
Just then, a bell rang from the Taisu Tower, shaking the heavens and earth.
"Dong~"
Mo Feiyan and Old Man Huang exchanged glances, both overjoyed.
"A disciple has entered the top ten of the Wheel Sea Monument."
They used their divine sense to look down.
In the center of the plaza, a female disciple in white was enveloped in a purple halo.
One by one, ancient characters, each a hundred meters in size, appeared on the tower's body.
"Dao Cloud Peak · Inner Disciple · Su Ruxue"
"Reached the 78th level of the Wheel Sea Monument, ranked seventh on the Wheel Sea Monument"
"Aptitude · Immortal Middle"
"Comprehension · Immortal Upper"
"Perseverance · Immortal Lower"
"Temperament · Heavenly Upper"
A quick look at "pawread.com" will leave you more fulfilled.
"Combat Strength · Heavenly Upper"
"Eligible for True Inheritance"
The Primordial Plaza was in an uproar.
Countless gazes focused on Su Ruxue, filled with envy, jealousy, and admiration, with many wanting to make her acquaintance.
A female elder from Dao Cloud Peak, appearing in her early thirties, was overjoyed to tears.
"Disciple, you've done well. Your master is proud of you."
"Congratulations, Elder Yang~"
"Congratulations, congratulations~"
Around them, elders from Dao Cloud Peak and other peaks came forward to offer their congratulations.
"I also want to make it into the top ten of the Divine Bridge Realm. I want the Taisu Tower to ring its bells for me," a young man in a blue sword robe clenched his fists secretly.
"Who are you?"
Chu Xiu glanced at him.
Uh...
The young man turned his head, his delicate face showing surprise. After seeing Chu Xiu's attire, he slightly cupped his fists, "So it's Senior Brother from Cloudmist Peak. My name is Ye Fan."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu's eye twitched.
This guy's name is really "protagonist-like."
Not only that, but in his eyes, this Ye Fan was enveloped in an aura so purple it was almost black.
This fortune...
Is it defying the heavens?
Could this guy be the protagonist?
In the hundred years since he crossed into this world, it was the first time he encountered someone with such formidable fortune.
"Brother Ye, nice to meet you~"
Chu Xiu smiled warmly.
"You know me?"
"Of course, I heard you won a lot of Essence Stones at Heaven's Punishment Peak."
"Oh oh~"
Chu Xiu was extremely amiable, chatting and laughing with Ye Fan.
Ye Fan thought, this Senior Brother Chu Xiu has a gentle personality, suitable for friendship.
Chu Xiu thought, this Brother Ye Fan is straightforward, suitable for friendship, yes, the kind where you pour your heart out.
After exchanging communication imprints, the two parted ways.
Ye Fan went to climb the tower.
Chu Xiu did the same.
After they separated, Ye Fan hadn't walked a hundred meters before he bent down to pick up something he accidentally stepped on.
When he opened his eyes, good heavens, it was an Earth-Grade Storage Ring.
Chu Xiu, who had been watching him, felt his scalp tingle at the sight.
He turned and left.
"Wanting to pour my heart out and absorb fortune won't be easy."
"Unless I crush him with absolute advantage, otherwise, he will surely turn danger into safety."
This kind of protagonist fate, Chu Xiu had encountered before, was very hard to kill, really hard to kill, and could even explode with power at critical moments. If you don't kill them in one go, they will only get stronger and become a big problem.
Lost in thought, he had already entered the Taisu Tower.
This was a space shrouded in white mist.
He was the only one around.
An invisible wave scanned his entire body.
The jade token symbolizing his identity flew out from the storage pouch automatically.
A grand yet gentle female voice sounded.
"Cloudmist Peak · True Inheritance · Chu Xiu"
"Wheel Sea, Ninth-Layer Peak"
"First level assessment begins"
The next moment, three pitch-black desolate wolves, each seven meters long and two meters high, exuding a fierce aura, appeared out of thin air.
Awooo~
The leading desolate wolf howled and lunged at Chu Xiu.
The other two attacked from both sides.
"Desolate beasts of the Wheel Sea Realm!"
Chu Xiu remained expressionless, drawing the Azure Blood Sword with his right hand.
A seven-meter-long sword light slashed out, splitting the leading desolate wolf in half from head to tail.
Blood and innards splattered everywhere.
——————
Three days later.
Taisu Tower, sixty-seventh level.
The space was pitch black.
Chu Xiu stood still, his eyes slightly closed.
Strange blood light seeped from the corners of his eyes.
This level's illusory realm tested temperament.
Within the illusion.
"Stay here, this is bliss... I will..."
Chu Xiu remained expressionless, raising his hand to behead the stunningly beautiful, alluring woman in front of him.
Thud...
The headless body fell to the ground.
Around him lay thousands of similarly enticing headless female corpses.
"Sixty-seventh level passed"
The scene changed again.
"Sixty-eighth level assessment begins"
An elderly man with a long sword, a muscular middle-aged man with a large hammer, a handsome young man with a spear, and a youthful boy with a dagger appeared before him.
Their realms were all at the peak of the Wheel Sea.
"Choose..."
Before the Taisu Tower's prompt could finish, Chu Xiu had already vanished from his spot.
The Technique Projection activated, leaving seven afterimages...
Swish swish~
Four swords.
Four heads flew.
Even the Taisu Tower's prompt paused for a moment.
"Passed~"
"Sixty-ninth level assessment begins..."
