Chapter 132
“Brother Jiang Chen, don’t worry! In the future, Muyu will definitely make you retire and live comfortably!” Jing Muyu said with great confidence as this was also her wish.
After Yan Ruyu brought her back, Jing Muyu only wanted Yan Ruyu and Jiang Chen to be happy. As long as the two of them were happy, she was willing to do anything.
That’s also why Jing Muyu was so dedicated to cultivating. She didn’t want to disappoint Jiang Chen and Yan Ruyu.
Both of them had high expectations for her, and she wanted to be the person they envisioned, not just an ordinary person.
“I believe you!” Jiang Chen responded with a smile.
Currently, Jing Muyu’s storyline has completely deviated from the original, and she has a better cultivation environment than in the original story.
With her talents, her strength will inevitably grow very rapidly in the future. Though surpassing him might not be realistic, becoming a strong figure in the future is very likely.
Not long after.
Yan Ruyu also emerged from another grand hall, dressed in white, her skin crystal clear, and her long black hair fluttering. She appeared ethereal and otherworldly, like a goddess, with all her actions exuding an incredible charm.
Standing there, she was like the brightest light in the world, standing out even in a crowd. At first glance, she was unforgettable.
“Holy Son!” Yan Ruyu ran over excitedly and joyfully said, “I’ve entered the Great Master Realm!”
Although it was only the first level of the Great Master Realm, it was still the Great Master Realm. This meant she had truly entered the ranks of peerless geniuses.
Jiang Chen was not too surprised but still congratulated her: “Congratulations! If you improve a few more realms, you won’t need me to take action often!”
The stronger Yan Ruyu became, the more satisfied he was. Because in the future, if Yan Ruyu became strong, he wouldn’t need to take action personally. It would be enough for Yan Ruyu to take action herself.
Sometimes, constantly taking action was quite tiring for Jiang Chen. If it was possible to not take action, he preferred not to.
“I will definitely fulfill the Holy Son’s wishes!” Yan Ruyu said joyfully.
After stepping into the Great Master Realm, she finally could keep up with Jiang Chen’s pace. She wouldn’t be like before, only able to look up to him, not even able to see his back.
“Now that you both have emerged from seclusion, It’s time to enter the final layer!” Jiang Chen said lightly.
The Supreme Palace is essentially divided into two layers.
The first layer is where they are now. All opportunities are scattered across the islands. As long as one can defeat the ferocious beasts guarding the halls, they can gain opportunities. The stronger the opportunity, the stronger the beast guarding it.
The second layer is a different place altogether. It’s a test, and also the most important test. One will receive points based on the levels they can withstand. These points will affect the subsequent rankings. The higher the level, the more points are earned.
Moreover, there are hidden achievements inside.
That is, if one can pass all levels, they will receive a legacy left behind by a true immortal in the past!
Of course, it’s not all legacies. And it’s not that no one has ever passed this assessment. In fact, over the long years, a few have succeeded and received a legacy.
The legacies vary, including special heavenly materials and earthly treasures, immortal scriptures, and unique elixirs. What one receives can vary.
In the original story, Du Guyun managed to pass all the challenges and obtained a legacy.
“How did Du Guyun manage to clear it?” Jiang Chen found it puzzling. In the original story, Du Guyun was only at the True King realm but managed to suppress all geniuses and clear the second layer’s test.
When reading the book, he found it absurd. Many peerless geniuses, including those at the Great Master realm, couldn’t do it, yet Du Guyun did.
Because of this plot, Du Guyun’s reputation soared to a very high level, leading to internal dissent within the Primordial Holy Land and questioning Jiang Chen.
Why the doubt? Because during this trial, although his performance was decent, ranking in the top ten, it was far from Du Guyun’s.
“This is definitely the protagonist’s halo!”
Although now he hasn’t tried it himself, just the thought that many geniuses couldn’t make it, but Du Guyun did, is absurd.
These geniuses included monsters like Jin Changhe, Pure Yang Holy Son, Huang Qingtian, and so on. Yet Du Guyun completely surpassed them.
It’s like a fantasy. Due to this plot, Du Guyun’s plan was completely successful, making him famous throughout the Nine Heavens Realm. It also led to increasing doubts about Jiang Chen, leading to his loss of reputation.
This happened because Dongfang Mingyue and Mu Jianxue died in the original story. Otherwise, no amount of doubt would have mattered.
The second layer hasn’t truly opened yet. To open it, you need to kill five ferocious beasts inside, three of which are on different islands. Among them, the Sword Beast and Yin Yang Tiger are included, with one more in another legacy.
As for the remaining two beasts in the depths of the sea, killing them will fully open the second layer. These two are not simple, being at the quasi-Saint level.
In the original story, to kill these two quasi-Saint beasts, the geniuses initially struggled to kill one, while the other was directly slain by Feng Qingtian.
His killing of a quasi-Saint beast led many to tout Huang Qingtian, believing he would surely be first. Then came the protagonist with his halo, making Huang Qingtian pale in comparison. However, Huang Qingtian didn’t hold a grudge for this.
His personality is similar to Qin Ershi’s. Now that both have emerged, Jiang Chen naturally doesn’t want to stay on the first layer anymore. He plans to fully open the second layer and enter the trial inside.
“The last of the ferocious beasts guarding the legacy should have been killed by someone! It should be about time to kill those two quasi-Saint beasts!” Thinking this, Jiang Chen took Yan Ruyu and Jing Muyu and dashed off, moving like a streak of light, like a meteor, flashing by.
Soon, he arrived at the depths of the sea. Here, islands are scarce, almost invisible, as if completely removed from the surrounding environment, like a different world.
Boom.
Something seemed to be disturbed. The sea below surged with terrifying waves, dozens of horrifying whirlpools emerged, and two powerful forces exploded forth. In the sea, two massive shadows surfaced.
Boom.
The water’s surface exploded as two giant fish leaped out, opening their vast mouths to bite at Jiang Chen. “Die!”
Jiang Chen remained calm, slapping down with one hand. Bang. The so-called quasi-Saints, like ants, were directly killed. Another slap, and the second quasi-Saint also fell.
The two quasi-Saints died at Jiang Chen’s hands, as easily as killing ants. Boom. With the death of the two quasi-Saints, it was as if a mechanism had been triggered. The sky cracked open, revealing a huge gap! The final layer’s trial had begun!
