Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 763 - 757: Tower Spirit
Chapter 763: Chapter 757: Tower Spirit
The Seventh Level World.
When Ye Xuan reached this seventh level, the surrounding space unfolded layer by layer. As Ye Xuan steadied himself, the fluctuations in the space around him also ceased.
There was nothing particularly noteworthy about this level’s space; it simply looked like an ordinary tower level.
Before him lay nothingness, completely devoid of any object.
"Could something be hidden?"
Ye Xuan gazed at the plain space before him, refusing to believe that this place would be so calm and empty. That would be even more unlikely.
Hum.
The space in front of him suddenly began to pulse, rippling like waves on a curtain of water, and within that distorted space appeared a silhouette. In that instant, Ye Xuan’s expression became one of vigilance.
Following the pattern of challenges on the previous levels, if there were indeed a test on this seventh level, it would undoubtedly be extremely difficult. The silhouette that had suddenly emerged was not likely to be someone ordinary.
The figure that appeared gradually solidified, and what materialized before Ye Xuan was the image of a little girl.
This took Ye Xuan completely by surprise.
"You’re the strongest challenger of the Martial God Tower this time? A mere First Grade Martial Saint in cultivation level, not that impressive," the little girl, who seemed to be only about one and a half meters tall and looked rather frail, said with a tone much too large for her, seemingly seeing through Ye Xuan’s cultivation level and then speaking up in a forthright manner.
In response, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but give the little girl a blank look. This was the guardian of the seventh level, just a little girl?
Although somewhat confused, Ye Xuan didn’t let his guard down. This was, after all, the seventh level, and regardless of the exterior appearance of a little girl, he couldn’t afford to underestimate her. A single moment of carelessness could lead to an ignominious defeat here, which would be a heavy loss indeed.
"Eh, why is there a familiar scent on you?"
While Ye Xuan was deep in thought, the little girl’s large eyes suddenly brightened, as if she had discovered some rare and exotic treasure, and she leaned in closer.
"Familiar items?"
Ye Xuan paused, watching the girl sniff around him, and then a thought crossed his mind—could she have detected the aura of the Human Emperor’s Scepter and the Earth Emperor Book?
"We’ve just met; how could there be any scent on me that you’d be familiar with?"
Ye Xuan smiled, attempting to divert the conversation.
"The Earth Emperor Book and the Human Emperor’s Scepter are both with you. You’re quite lucky, aren’t you?" The little girl’s words, spoken with a wisdom beyond her years, nearly petrified Ye Xuan. She had already detected the two ancient holy artifacts hidden within him. It was utterly baffling.
Indeed, even if it was just a little girl, he absolutely could not afford to take her lightly.
"Who are you?"
Ye Xuan asked, curious about the identity of the little girl who seemed mysterious and possibly not even human.
"Who am I?"
The little girl paused and then laughed in slight astonishment, "You’ve come this far and still don’t know who I am? Kid, do you know that talking like this could hurt my feelings and leave a bad impression on you?"
"Please forgive my ignorance."
Ye Xuan had no choice but to bow slightly, conceding his lack of knowledge. The little girl had a formidable presence and appeared to be deeply linked to the Martial God Tower. It seemed best to treat her well and not cause offense.
"Fine, I can’t be bothered to argue with you, telling you is easier."
The little girl looked at Ye Xuan with a disdainful expression, as if not knowing who she was, was a disgraceful matter.
"I am the esteemed Tower Spirit of the Martial God Tower."
The little girl declared solemnly and arrogantly.
"Tower Spirit?"
Ye Xuan was taken aback, then his expression turned contemplative, it seemed his guess wasn’t wrong—the Martial God Tower was indeed an enormous treasure, and according to preliminary estimates, the Martial God Tower could at least be considered a Top-grade Holy Artifact.
It might even be a Divine Artifact.
"There’s no need for guessing. While Martial God Tower can be regarded as a treasure, it’s different from the usual holy artifacts," the Tower Spirit seemed to see what Ye Xuan was thinking and said indifferently: "Since the emergence of life on the Spirit Martial Continent, the Martial God Tower has been in existence. Back then, even the Three Emperors had not been born. The Martial God Tower rooted in the Spirit Martial Continent, drawing its power from the depths of the land, closely connected to the entire continent. So strictly speaking, Martial God Tower is not a holy artifact, much less a divine artifact."
"So it is."
Ye Xuan nodded; he now somewhat understood that the Martial God Tower indeed did not fall into the category of ordinary holy artifacts—it was an Innate treasure, profoundly connected to the entire Spirit Martial Continent. That further indicated that the Martial God Tower was created at the birth of the Spirit Martial Continent, forged from heaven and earth, based on the land, with the heart of the earth as its origin, powered by the ancient spiritual energy—an Innate Holy Artifact.
Such an Innate Holy Artifact, its might no less inferior to divine artifacts, was connected to the entire world, making it impossible for anyone to control it. Thus, to a certain extent, Martial God Tower does not belong to the category of holy artifacts.
"The person who created you must have reached a very high realm, at least at the peak level of Martial Emperor, or possibly even reached the state of a pseudo-god."
Ye Xuan mused.
Although compared to the Heavenly Realm, the Spirit Martial World is a low-level realm, even low-level worlds could give rise to Martial Emperor-level powerhouses at their inception. Even a pseudo-god, one level below Martial God, was not impossible to appear.
Because a small world at the time of its birth, is when its spiritual energy is most dense, and it was also its most flourishing era.
"You actually know about pseudo-gods?"
The Tower Spirit stared at Ye Xuan with a piercing gaze; a mere First Grade Martial Saint actually knew of the level of a pseudo-god? It was known that, on the Spirit Martial Continent, Seventh Grade Martial Saints were the utmost one could find, as Martial Emperor powerhouses had long since vanished, let alone pseudo-gods. Moreover, the concept of a pseudo-god was known by few, not to mention someone as junior as Ye Xuan.
"I just happened to hear it from our elders," Ye Xuan said, spinning a lie to divert the topic—carelessly, he had let slip a bit of knowledge, enough to rouse the suspicion of the Tower Spirit.
"Actually, I don’t know what realm my master is at, but as an Ancient God of the Spirit Martial World, even if not yet at the pseudo-god level, they should be not far from it."
A wistful look appeared in the Tower Spirit’s eyes.
Ye Xuan nodded, and then cleared his throat, his expression becoming serious as he decided to stop beating around the bush and speak of serious matters.
"I want to know, what exactly is hidden on this seventh floor? The trial you organized on the sixth floor eliminated so many people—it cannot just be to have me come up and chat with you, right?"
A hint of sharpness flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes as he spoke.
"Of course not,"
The Tower Spirit shook her head, "With so many filtered out on the sixth floor, this seventh floor will naturally offer a reward to the victor of the trial, and it’s an extremely generous reward."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing the words ’extremely generous’, Ye Xuan’s pupils slightly narrowed, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up. If even the Tower Spirit claimed it to be a generous reward, it might truly be extraordinary.
