BXBX NOVEL Chapter 31 - 31: Myriad Phenomena Tower
“How could he be so strong!” Mu Qingyun spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes seeing stars. He shakily got up from the ground, looking deathly pale.
“He has already broken through to the Meridian Passage Realm, and it’s not just a simple breakthrough!”
Chen Tianqi spoke with lingering fear, recalling Lu Yun’s formidable explosive power and speed. He wondered if he could have withstood it.
The answer was obviously no.
“Impossible!” Mu Qingyun’s face turned ashen as he muttered in a daze, “He was only at the Entry Level of the Enter Martial Realm during the last assessment, and it hasn’t even been a month since then. How could he have progressed so quickly?”
“You doubt my judgment?” Chen Tianqi coldly glanced at him and said.
“No!” Mu Qingyun couldn’t help but shiver when stared at by Chen Tianqi.
“Hmph, this person isn’t someone you or I can afford to offend, so I advise you to give up your little schemes.”
“In addition, from now on, we should go our separate ways!”
With that, Chen Tianqi turned around and left.
In less than a month, Lu Yun had broken through several realms. He wasn’t just slightly more talented than Chen Tianqi.
Although he was arrogant, he didn’t overestimate himself. After realizing the situation, he immediately distanced himself from the short-sighted Mu Qingyun.
“I thought it would be an interesting show, but it turned out to be nothing but a farce.” Disappointed, the audience sneered at the bewildered Mu Qingyun and left.
From the crowd, the handsome Xiao Chen slowly walked out, gazing thoughtfully at Lu Yun’s retreating figure.
“He has successfully cultivated the Pure Yang Aura?”
“Haha, Junior Brother Lu, we meet again.”
Lu Yun hadn’t gone far when a voice came from a nearby location. Following the sound, he saw a round-faced young man approaching.
At one glance, he recognized the other party as Duan Qing, the one who had given him the assessment reward last time.
Not to mention Lu Yun’s memory, Duan Qing’s distinctive appearance had left a deep impression on him.
Looking at the direction Duan Qing had come from, it seemed he had just left the Myriad Phenomena Tower.
“Junior Brother Lu, it looks like there’s something different about you this time. Have you made a significant breakthrough in your cultivation?” Duan Qing’s pudgy face had squinted eyes, sizing up Lu Yun from head to toe.
Lu Yun smiled slightly. As he reached the entry-level of cultivating the Pure Yang Aura, he produced a faint yet resolute and positive aura.
Upon bringing it to a small achievement, the resolute and positive aura had been amplified, allowing Duan Qing to detect some clues.
Lu Yun wasn’t one to show off. He responded with vague answers for a few sentences before changing the subject.
“This is my first time at the Myriad Phenomena Tower, and my knowledge of it comes only from the disciples’ manual. I wonder if Senior Brother Duan can give me some pointers.” As he spoke, Lu Yun looked ahead.
The thirty-story Myriad Phenomena Tower stood about thirty meters tall in the spacious square. It looked grand and imposing, full of majesty.
Next to the Myriad Phenomena Tower stood a massive jade wall. Its surface was as smooth as a mirror, with numerous names shimmering on it.
Each name had a number in front of it, ranging from one to one hundred and eight.
Duan Qing squinted his eyes and nodded, looking at the Myriad Phenomena Tower as he chuckled:
“Hehe, this Myriad Phenomena Tower is a spirit artifact, one of the foundations of the Martial Academy. It’s a level above treasure artifacts and possesses mysterious and unpredictable abilities, such as the ability to create demon beasts of the sixth rank and below for disciples to battle within!” “Treasure Artifact? Spirit Artifact? Demon Beasts?”
Lu Yun was mildly surprised. He only knew about True Artifacts and Mysterious Instruments, whereas he was clueless about anything above the Mysterious Instruments.
From what Duan Qing had said, it seemed that treasure artifacts were above the mysterious instruments, and spirit artifacts were above the treasure artifacts.
In other words, the Myriad Phenomena Tower was several levels higher than the Black Boat.
Comparing spirit artifacts, Lu Yun was more curious about demon beasts.
The parents of his current body had died in a beast tide, and he held no goodwill towards demon beasts. If he encountered them, he definitely wouldn’t show any mercy.
However, he had never encountered a demon beast before, having only met a wolf that didn’t even qualify as a rank one demon beast.
During his time in the Martial Academy, he had learned some information about demon beasts.
The Nine Martial Realms were the Enter Martial Realm, Meridian Passage Realm, True Qi Realm, Transforming Origin Realm, Origin Fluid Realm, Golden Body Realm, Rune Seed Realm, Golden Core Realm, and Heavenly Human
Realm.
These nine martial realms corresponded to demon beasts of ranks one to nine.
In other words, even the weakest rank one demon beast was equivalent to a martial artist in the Enter Martial Realm.
The Myriad Phenomena Tower could spawn demon beasts equivalent to martial artists in the Golden Body Realm, making it exceptionally powerful. “Have you seen that jade wall? That’s the Myriad Phenomena Jade Wall. The people listed on it are the true Heavenly Prides of the Martial Academy, with their cultivation levels being at least the late stage of the Transforming Origin Realm.”
“The Myriad Phenomena Jade Wall only records the top one hundred and eight performers in the Myriad Phenomena Tower. Once you’re on that wall, you become a prominent figure in the Flying Spirit Martial Academy and even the entire Spirit Martial Prefecture.”
“Hehe, my current main goal is to make a name for myself on that wall, and I’m getting closer and closer to it.”
Lu Yun took a look at the chubby young man in front of him. Despite his rotund appearance, he seemed to possess an extraordinary temperament and even gave Lu Yun a faint feeling of danger.
For someone to make the current Lu Yun feel a sense of danger, it could only mean that their cultivation was above the Meridian Passage Realm.
Duan Qing continued, “Although the Myriad Phenomena Tower is thirty stories tall, it can actually be divided into four levels: The first to tenth floors correspond to ordinary disciples and elite disciples.
The eleventh to fifteenth floors correspond to the second level, suitable for Star Palace disciples.
The sixteenth to twentieth floors correspond to the third level, suitable for Bright Moon Hall disciples.
The twenty-first to thirtieth floors correspond to the fourth level. Those who can enter the twenty-first floor have a chance to compete for a ranking on the Myriad Phenomena Jade Wall!”
Lu Yun tentatively asked, “I heard that as long as you pass the tenth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower, you not only don’t have to attend lectures in the classroom but also won’t have to worry about being expelled from the Martial Academy. Is that true or false?”
“Why go to the classroom after passing the tenth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower and becoming a Star Palace disciple? It’s a waste of time!”
Duan Qing gave Lu Yun a blank look, seeming to disdain him for asking such an idiotic question.
After all, the strength of most Star Hall disciples was not worse than that of ordinary Martial Academy teachers.
Lu Yun’s expression shifted slightly. “Then, what level of proficiency is required to pass the tenth floor?”
“It’s hard to say. Some people can pass the tenth floor while in the True Qi Realm, while others need to reach the mid to late stages of the True Qi Realm.”
“Like the most talented person in our batch, Meng Hongfei, who passed the eleventh floor immediately after breaking through to the True Qi Realm, thus becoming a Star Palace disciple.”
When Duan Qing mentioned Meng Hongfei, his expression became somewhat unnatural. In Lu Yun’s opinion, it contained a mix of envy and complexity..
