Chapter 139
“He really entered the hundredth layer! For the first time in five hundred thousand years!”
“The Primordial Holy Son is truly terrifying. Last time I observed the Supreme Palace, the mightiest among the young geniuses only reached the ninety-fourth layer at most. It’s unexpected that the Primordial Holy Son could step into the hundredth layer. Now, it remains to be seen if he can pass this level!”
“In the long history, some have stepped into the hundredth layer but none have passed the trial of the hundredth layer!”
“The Primordial Holy Son should be able to. Although he spent some time in the previous few layers, from the expression and state of the Primordial Holy Son, he still seems very relaxed!”
“It’s highly likely he will clear the entire trial space! It’s outrageous, I never expected the Primordial Holy Son could achieve this step!”
“The Primordial Holy Son as the number one prodigy of the Nine Heavens Realm, who would dare to oppose?”
“Who else could question this now, Huang Qingtian has only reached the ninetieth layer so far!”
“What if he can’t pass the trial of the hundredth layer!”
As Jiang Chen stepped into the hundredth layer, which is also the last layer of the entire trial space, the cultivators were incredibly excited, especially those who had experienced the Supreme Palace last time and witnessed the entire event, could now feel proud.
Last time, the human race suffered a miserable defeat, almost trampled underfoot by all other races, enduring endless humiliation. Now, at last, they can hold their heads high. Even if the subsequent rankings are not overwhelming, Jiang Chen alone is enough.
The glory of stepping into the hundredth layer is not so simple. Of course, the human race is happy, but the foreign races are not pleased.
The two factions were inherently antagonistic, and with Jiang Chen defeating Huang Qingtian in the prodigy assembly, leading to the defeat of the myriad races, this caused great displeasure towards Jiang Chen among the myriad races.
Now that these humans are showing off, intentionally or not, it greatly annoys them.
“If he really can clear the trial space, no one will be able to question the Primordial Holy Son afterwards!”
“What Huang Qingtian, the God Son of the True Dragon Clan isn’t even worthy to carry his shoes!” True Yang Saint, true to his reputation as a loudmouth, instantly maxed out the hatred.
The Saint from the Immortal Phoenix Clan, quite dissatisfied, said, “The Primordial Holy Son stepping into the hundredth layer is indeed impressive, but the trial is not over yet. Our clan’s divine child can also step into the hundredth layer!”
What does ‘not worthy to carry his shoes’ mean? Even though Huang Qingtian lost last time, but the battle between them was evenly matched and hard to separate. The two were essentially on the same level, if Jiang Chen could do it. Their divine child naturally can too!
“Don’t deceive yourself! We’re not ordinary cultivators, the gap between them is clear at a glance!”
“Not to mention, you’ve also experienced the Supreme Palace, you should know what the last ten layers represent, especially what stepping into the hundredth layer represents!”
“Huang Qingtian’s talent is indeed against the heavens, but whether he can step into the hundredth layer, we all know!” A strong individual from the Vermilion Bird Clan couldn’t help but speak up.
Beside him, True Yang Saint continued, “You can deceive others, but you can’t deceive yourself!”
Everyone present was of the Saint Realm, belonging to the top powerhouses of the Nine Heavens Realm. Their vision is naturally top-notch.
The gap between them is clear at a glance, obvious to anyone who isn’t a fool. Jiang Chen dominated all the way, except for some time spent from the ninety-fifth layer onwards, he swept through everything else with ease, those shadows couldn’t stop Jiang Chen at all.
On the other hand, Huang Qingtian started to get stuck from the eightieth layer upwards. Each passage cost him some time which alone shows a huge gap between them.
“Losing to the Primordial Holy Son is not a shame!” A strong individual from the Supreme Dao Sect added.
Being able to step into the hundredth layer, that’s a rare existence in history. Losing to such a prodigy isn’t shameful, instead, it’s a kind of honor. After all, not everyone can be his opponent.
Facing everyone’s comments,
The Saint from the Immortal Phoenix Clan’s face darkened, but he didn’t continue to argue. Because what they said was right, he knew it too. It’s just that he couldn’t stand these people praising the Primordial Holy Son.
“Hahaha, everyone, don’t praise too much! If this continues, won’t the Saint become proud when he returns!” The great elder said cheerfully.
He is no longer resistant to the Primordial Holy Son forcefully leading them. This feeling is too comfortable, an unprecedented event. Had he known this, he would have come forward himself.
The Hundredth Layer.
As Jiang Chen entered, a formidable aura surged up suddenly. Accompanied by this, a divine light descended, and a figure of extraordinary valor slowly emerged.
Dressed in black armor, with handsome features and sharp angles, his eyes were like black holes filled with terrifying fluctuations. Merely standing there, he caused the surrounding void to collapse.
This was the True Immortal Shadow, a projection of the former master of the Supreme Palace. Of course, it was just a projection, perhaps unable to demonstrate the full might the Supreme Palace’s master once possessed.
Nonetheless, it was not something ordinary beings could contend against. Unlike the other layers, the Supreme Palace’s master stood at the same realm as Jiang Chen, not one realm higher.
Perhaps out of pride or something else, it wouldn’t suppress through realm advantage. To the Supreme Palace, defeating him in the same realm was a significant achievement, worthy of recognition and a special reward. This was also why Du Guyun in the original story could eventually clear the trial.
Under the same realm, with various cheats and protagonist’s aura, Du Guyun managed to defeat it. If it had been a higher realm, it would have been impossible to win, even for Jiang Chen without going all out.
A True Immortal.
Even in the Immortal Domain, it’s considered a supreme existence, not something the prodigies of the Nine Heavens Realm could compare with. Only those supreme emperors with the same majestic stature could contend against it.
They were no less than the master of the Supreme Palace; it was just a matter of circumstances that they couldn’t step into that realm. If they were in the same world, they could also become True Immortals.
“You are exceptional,” the True Immortal Shadow said indifferently, without any emotion, as if speaking mechanically. “In tens of thousands of years, there has been no one like you. Even in more distant times, it’s hard to find an existence equal to you.”
“Thanks for the compliment,” Jiang Chen replied with a light smile, appreciating the praise without rejecting or diminishing it.
“Passing the trial won’t be easy,” the True Immortal Shadow continued. “You must qualify by defeating me. Only then can you receive a special reward. If not, it means you’re not worthy to glimpse the secrets of heaven and earth. You will stop here.”
After clearing the hundredth layer, besides a special reward, there’s something unknown to ordinary beings. It’s not particularly special information – it’s about leaving the Nine Heavens Realm for the Immortal Domain.
This information isn’t new to Jiang Chen, who already knows about it, but for the beings of the Nine Heavens Realm, it’s different. Ascending to immortality is their ultimate wish. If they could leave for the Immortal Domain, any sacrifice would be worthwhile, even just for the information.
However, Jiang Chen knows the information about the Supreme Palace isn’t very useful because the path to immortality has long been closed, making it impossible to enter the Immortal Domain through it. In other words, the Supreme Palace’s information is of no use. If it were, someone would have already entered the Immortal Domain by now, yet no one has.
“I’m somewhat interested in your mentioned reward, but not the secrets of heaven and earth,” Jiang Chen stated.
