Chapter 759: Chapter 384: Heavenly Pride on the Tai Yuan Heroes List_3
“`
Those probing from the void were at least strong cultivators of the True Spirit Realm with some even from the Entering Saint Realm and above.
They had already grown accustomed to this sort of probing.
Because this was the treatment reserved for the Heavenly Prides on the Tai Yuan Hero List.
Others, including some Heavenly Prides on the Mountain River List, did not yet enjoy this level of attention from the powerhouses.
“Lu Yun, I didn’t expect him to be here as well.”
“It’s said that he has been frequently visiting the Forbidden Tower these past few months, yet he has never passed the eleventh floor.”
“What a joke, could a person who easily defeated Liu Yeqing not get past the eleventh floor?”
Many eyes shifted towards Lu Yun. He was now a celebrity and one with an exceptionally resounding reputation at that. Despite concealing his strength in the Forbidden Tower, he still couldn’t hide the halo of a Heavenly Pride that he carried.
Many quietly speculated about Lu Yun’s true strength and his performance in the Forbidden Tower.
Such a commotion caught the attention of Song Zilin, who appeared quite interested in Lu Yun.
Teng Wenwen also fixed her gaze on Lu Yun, her face showing a hint of surprise, and then she furrowed her brow as if she had thought of something.
“Having perfected the Cave Mystic Divine Stealth Technique, even those in the Entering Saint Realm would find it difficult to probe my true nature. Normal Elders and Disciples, although they can sense something unusual about my aura, cannot see my true cultivation level.”
Feeling the scrutiny from many directions, Lu Yun secretly rejoiced that he had advanced his Divine Ability, the Cave Mystic Divine Stealth Technique, to Perfection.
However, Lu Yun did not notice that a few stares came from the void, which could easily see through the Cave Mystic Divine Stealth Technique.
“Is he the rapidly rising Lu Yun? I heard you once wanted to take him under your wing, but were blocked by Chen Yuheng. What happened there?”
Chen Yuheng, also known as Heng Chong Dominator, was one of the World Masters in charge of overseeing the Tai Yuan Vein, tasked with handling all important matters of the vein.
Just the fact that this mysterious strong cultivator could call Heng Chong Dominator by name indicated that they undoubtedly were a World Master Realm existence.
“What else could it be but being a step too late!” another voice responded indifferently.
“Haha, that’s what you get for not being proactive. Just as a promising talent emerged, someone else got there first.”
“Don’t think I’m like you, taking in just anyone.” The Yangshuo World Master’s divine thought transmitted coldly.
On the Forbidden Plaza, under everyone’s gaze, Song Zilin finally made his move.
“Wenwen, do you want to go first?”
Teng Wenwen’s eyes suddenly shone brilliantly, full of eagerness. However, after a moment’s thought, she gently shook her head, “No, you go ahead. If even you can’t enter the twelfth floor, I won’t waste my time.”
“That’s not necessarily true. Our strengths are very close, but in an actual fight, I might not be able to beat you. I think you should give it a shot,” Song Zilin continued.
“Maybe after entering the twelfth floor, you could find an opportunity to break through to the twelfth level of the Heavenly Human Realm,” he added.
“Okay, I’ll try,” she agreed.
Teng Wenwen held no expectations for breaking through to the twelfth level of the Heavenly Human Realm, but this did not mean she wasn’t hopeful.
If, as Song Zilin suggested, there was a chance to break through to the twelfth level of the Heavenly Human Realm on the twelfth floor of the Forbidden Tower, she had to try, no matter what.
The twelfth level of the Heavenly Human Realm was indeed a tremendous temptation.
Seeing that his words had an effect, Song Zilin smiled faintly and soared into the portal.
The jewel on the portal began to glow, plainly showing the level Song Zilin had reached in the Forbidden Tower.
The fifteenth floor.
But it was unknown how many steps he had climbed.
Everything that transpired within the Forbidden Tower was beyond outsiders’ knowledge.
But what of it?
Among the disciples present, except for the very few who wanted to challenge the tower to validate their cultivation insights and temper themselves, the rest were all there for Song Zilin and Teng Wenwen, the Tai Yuan heroes.
They had taken time out of their precious cultivation schedules just to witness one thing.
That was to see if anyone could enter the sixteenth floor of the Forbidden Tower.
“Every Heavenly Pride on the Tai Yuan Hero List challenges the Forbidden Tower before breaking through to the next realm in hopes of overcoming their limits, but for so many years, no one has been successful.”
“Will Zilin make it?”
As she watched the Forbidden Tower soar into the clouds, a hint of expectation flickered in Teng Wenwen’s beautiful eyes.
She and Song Zilin grew up together, close as childhood friends, and naturally hoped that he would achieve his wish.
“It is said that Chu Jungui and Wu Yuanbai both managed to reach the seventh step on the fifteenth floor of the Forbidden Tower but eventually failed to break through their bottlenecks and chose to fight in order to seek a breakthrough.”
“Though Chu Jungui and Wu Yuanbai ranked later on the Tai Yuan Hero List, their talent was undoubtedly the strongest. Both of them stopped at the seventh step of the fifteenth floor. Doesn’t that mean there’s little hope for Song Zilin and Teng Wenwen?”
“Who knows, let’s just watch and see,” another remarked.
The many disciples murmured among themselves, not holding much expectation for Song Zilin and Teng Wenwen, but they were intrigued to see if the two could surpass their own records.
Lu Yun narrowed his eyes and looked towards the gate of the Forbidden Tower.
If the challengers didn’t hide their results, the jewel on the gate would not only display the floor of the Forbidden Tower but also emit nine different colors, changing with each step surmounted.
When Song Zilin first entered the Forbidden Tower, the jewel radiated a white light.
The initial color of the light emitted by the jewel for every challenger upon entering the Forbidden Tower was white.
After a quarter of an hour, the color of the light from the jewel changed from white to grey.
