Chapter 1961: Chapter 1961: Tianyu Mountain
"Xu Nian, my good friend, it’s already impressive that you’ve broken through to God Level, but it’s unfathomable that your wife has reached the Peak of Divine Level too?"
On the way to Tianyu Mountain, Song Ren asked in shock.
He had already learned about Xu Nian slaughtering Chen Qing of Wuwan Mountain.
At that time, Xu Nian was only at the Peak of Divine Level.
Unexpectedly, Xu Nian now quickly broke through to Early Stage of God Level; Song Ren couldn’t even imagine Xu Nian’s current strength.
But Xu Nian’s talent is against the heavens, coupled with the Fierce God Pill, the breakthrough was smooth and reasonable.
Yet Xu Nian’s wife reached the Peak of Divine Level within a hundred years, which is indeed a world-shocking event.
Fang Yu, who was beside them, was also greatly surprised.
He’s been in seclusion for a hundred years, absorbing the Fierce God Pill, and has only absorbed one-thirtieth of its power.
Luckily, he had already been at the Early Stage of God Level for a long time, now smoothly breaking through to Mid-level God.
As for Song Ren, he is still at the Mid-level God, but the breakthrough is just a step away.
But this step, to say the least, requires a thousand years.
It’s one thing for Xu Nian to break through, but his wife advancing three levels in a hundred years?
Could his wife’s talent be more against the heavens than his?
How could that be possible?
"Before ascending, we encountered a peculiar Divine Fruit in a relic, which my wife consumed, speeding up her advancement. However, the drug’s power has dissipated. Without sufficient resources, breaking through to God Level isn’t easy," Xu Nian explained.
"Peculiar Divine Fruit?" Song Ren and Fang Yu exchanged glances, their faces filled with doubt.
Yet they didn’t delve deeply; everyone has their secrets.
"So that’s the case. Madam truly harnessed the creation of heaven and earth. One fruit saves her decades of cultivation. As for future cultivation resources, Xu Nian, worry not. If we make it to the top ten in Tianyu Mountain, we’ll receive abundant rewards," Song Ren said excitedly.
Top ten in the assessment was previously unimaginable.
But now, having Xu Nian, a master, it may not be impossible.
Xu Nian could battle Late Stage God even before breaking through to God Level. Now, at Early Stage of God Level, his power is certainly stronger.
As for the top five, Song Ren dared not even imagine.
After all, among the thirty-six forces, some formidable adversaries exist.
Xu Nian’s time cultivating is ultimately too short to rival these adversaries.
"How abundant are these rewards?" Xu Nian glanced at Zhao Yanyun beside him, then smiled and asked Song Ren.
"As far as I know, the tenth place reward includes a million Low Grade Divine Stones, a hundred Low Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts, and a hundred Low Grade Divine Pills. The ninth place reward is twice the tenth place, and eighth place twice the ninth, escalating this way. Thus, the first place reward is fifty-one million two hundred fifty thousand Low Grade Divine Stones, fifty-one thousand two hundred Low Grade Divine Swords, and fifty-one thousand two hundred Low Grade Divine Pills," Song Ren explained.
"So many?" Zhao Yanyun exclaimed.
"Indeed, it’s a lot, but most forces opt to exchange for higher-level rewards. For example, Divine Stones can be exchanged to Mid-grade Divine Stones, requiring 5,120,000, or to Top-Grade Divine Stones becoming 51,200, or Top-grade Divine Stones as just 512. Heavenly Divine Artifacts and Divine Pills can also be exchanged, with the rate being one to one hundred," Song Ren laughed.
Xu Nian nodded.
Although these rewards seem numerous, exchanged for high-level treasures, they’re quite scarce.
For instance, Heavenly Divine Artifacts and Divine Pills, turned into Top-Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts is only five items, unreachable for the Top-grade.
"Of course, the rewards for the top five aren’t limited to these. All top-five forces can experience once, possessing the Chaos Spiritual Treasure record from Tianyu Mountain, the Sky-reaching Record. This offers a chance to perceive the battle of super strong adversaries, a heavenly opportunity," Song Ren said, filled with limitless anticipation.
"Battle of super strong adversaries?" Xu Nian was astonished.
"Apparently, you don’t know what the Sky-reaching Record is. It’s a powerful Chaos Spiritual Treasure capable of recording the battle process of super adversaries. It allows souls to temporarily possess the super adversary, experiencing the battle process thoroughly," Song Ren explained.
Xu Nian’s eyes lit up.
A reward like this was unheard of; possessing a super adversary in battle was an outstanding opportunity.
Witnessing the Yetian God Emperor striking greatly benefited Xu Nian. Being able to experience her sword technique execution entirely was certainly a heaven-defying opportunity.
"So, Xu Nian, are you tempted? Yet, being in the top five isn’t easy; some super mighty adversaries among the thirty-six forces are exceptionally terrifying, beyond our ability to defeat," Song Ren shook his head.
The top five rewards were indeed attractive, but power is a must to vie for them.
Without adequate power, it remains a mere dream.
Xu Nian pondered silently, not responding.
His heart, however, was deeply resolved; he must obtain the experience of possessing a strong adversary.
Of course, he kept these thoughts to himself.
Uttering them would be meaningless.
...
Continuing their journey, the group of four quickly arrived at the Tianyu Mountain’s territory.
Tianyu Mountain floated atop a mountain range.
The floating Divine Mountain was colossal, the largest Xu Nian had seen among floating giant cities.
The city’s area is likely ten times larger than the territory Black Mountain controls.
A massive entity floating above formed a powerful visual impact.
"This is Tianyu Mountain, isn’t it thrilling? I was equally astounded my first visit," Song Ren said, noticing the expressions of Xu Nian and Zhao Yanyun, and laughed.
"Indeed, it’s thrilling," Xu Nian nodded.
Besides its immense size, the Divine Mountain conveyed an immense fear.
The entire mountain seemed enveloped by strong celestial order.
Such formidable order instinctively stirred Xu Nian’s heart with fear.
"Could such order only be established by a Divine Sovereign? Is there a Divine Sovereign in Tianyu Mountain?" Xu Nian pondered.
"No need to worry. The mountain lacks Divine Sovereign presence; the order is established through special means, not from a strong individual,"
The voice of Emperor Ye Tian suddenly echoed in Xu Nian’s mind.
"Master? You’re awake?" Xu Nian asked in delight.
"Yes, I made some breakthroughs in this recent retreat," Emperor Ye Tian responded.
Xu Nian listened, vibrant with joy.
