Chapter 1956. A Single Brilliant Feat! (6) (1/2)
“There are seven people that stopped at the 13th palace. Aside from these 47 Ascendant Empyreans, there are two more who are considered the strongest Ascendant Empyreans. The first is Ascendant Empyrean Cai Wei, who stopped at the 14th palace! The other is Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao, who stopped at the 16th palace!
“From the 11th palace onward, every palace is very difficult. It is no longer simple like breaking the planets in the first 10 palaces, but… doing battle against the 72 foreign beasts the Celestial Ancestor faced!
“Among the 72 foreign beasts, there are strong and weak ones. Although their presence in the Empyrean Trial is only an illusion and they are greatly weakened, they are, after all, beasts that battled the Celestial Ancestor!
“If you can beat the 72 foreign beasts and walk the path the Celestial Ancestor walked, then by the time you pass the 19th palace, you will naturally have the strength that not even a Grand Empyrean would act casually against!
“And from the 11th palace onward, there are great fortunes, but not everyone can obtain them. There are those that have passed the 11th palace but obtained nothing.
“As for the specifics, I don’t know, but I know that someone has obtained a spell from the Celestial Ancestor in the 11th palace!
“But only one Ascendant Empyrean has passed the 19th palace and then became a Grand Empyrean. Aside from him, no one has passed the 19th palace!
“Even the current Grand Empyreans can’t! Even the current Grand Empyrean Dao Yi and Grand Empyrean Eight Extreme were only Empyrean Exalts back then. Only with a stroke of luck did someone become a Grand Empyrean through the Immemorial God Realm and the other though inheriting the Celestial Ancestor’s bloodline!
“Grand Empyrean Gemini and Grand Empyrean Jiu Di are rumored to be from the same generation, and they were under the Celestial Ancestor. As for whether this is true or not, I don’t know. Grand Empyrean Wu Feng was also an Ascendant Empyrean, but he only passed the 14th palace and couldn’t compare to the current Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao!
“I chose to follow him precisely because of this. After all, us Ascendant Empyreans have our own pride. Even if one becomes a Grand Empyrean through luck, if we aren’t willing, we won’t follow them!” Ascendant Empyrean Snow Rain slowly said to Wang Lin.
“Which Grand Empyrean was the only one to reach the 19th palace as an Ascendant Empyrean?” Wang Lin had never heard of any of this and his expression became serious.
“The Dong Lin Sect’s Grand Empyrean Dong Lin! Before he fell, he was the number one Grand Empyrean in my celestial clan. Even Grand Empyrean Jiu Di dreaded him… He was the only one who completely relied on his own strength to become a Grand Empyrean, but…” It was obvious Grand Empyrean Dong Lin was someone who Snow Rain respected a lot. When he talked about Grand Empyrean Dong Lin, his expression was a bit crestfallen.
Wang Lin silently pondered and he recalled the lonely old man in the Dong Lin Sect who was relying on a dream to accompany him. Grand Empyrean Dong Lin’s descendant...
Wang Lin took a deep breath and clasped his hands at Snow Rain and company. “Many thanks!”
He moved very fast as he pierced through the clouds and arrived at the 11th palace! He looked up at the 11th palace and then charged up without hesitation. Under the gaze of Snow Rain’s group of three, under the gazes of all the cultivators below, and as the eyes of the cold-looking Ascendant Empyrean Tiny Child lit up, Wang Lin pierced into the clouds toward the 11th palace.
The 11th palace was the goal and desire of all the Empyrean Exalts here. Whether they passed or not, it was a symbol of strength and power!
The 11th palace was different from the 10 below. It was larger, and even the pressure it gave off was stronger. It was completely black and gave off a cold aura.
“Including those nine, only 22 people have passed the 11th palace! One move will make me famous… Passing the 10th palace is not enough!”Wang Lin’s eyes lit up and he entered the 11th palace without hesitation!
When he entered the 11th palace, all the Empyrean Exalts below gasped and their faces filled with fear and excitement. These kinds of expressions should normally not appear on them; after all, any one of them could cause the world outside to tremble. However, at this moment, they were filled with fear and excitement due to Wang Lin’s crazy action.
“I thought he would stop after the 10th palace, but he is going to continue!”
“He… How many palaces is he going to pass?? How many can he pass?”
“He’s gone mad, unless this Wang Lin has enough confidence or he is blinded by the glory of becoming an Ascendant Empyrean! Passing multiple palaces at once like this is extremely rare!”
Snow Rain’s group of three also looked over. They were not optimistic about Wang Lin’s chances. They thought Wang Lin had a 90% chance of failing. After all, they had tried the 11th palace but failed. More than half the Ascendant Empyreans were stuck here!
They didn’t believe Wang Lin, who had just become an Ascendant Empyrean, had the strength!
“He has some momentum, but the 11th palace is not so easy. Back when I passed the 10th palace, I attempted the 11th palace as well but failed… It wasn’t until many years later that I successfully passed the 11th palace.”
“Among the more than 40 Ascendant Empyreans, only Ascendant Empyrean Cai Wei and Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao continued. Cai Wei stopped at the 12th and Ming Dao stopped at the 13th!
“The reason the two of them have the fame they do now and are considered the strongest Ascendant Empyreans is largely because of this. It is impossible for this person!”the child-like Ascendant Empyrean looked calm, but he sneered in his heart.
At this moment, the cultivators here were not the only ones observing this place. Aside from the Grand Empyreans, even more Ascendant Empyreans were using different methods to observe the Empyrean Trial. They had found out that there was a 49th Ascendant Empyrean, and he hadn’t left, but was instead going to try the 11th palace!
