Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 328: Chapter 156 Eighteenth Floor, There’s an Immortal!_1

“`

Whether it was the low-ranking cultivators within the three major markets or the True Monarchs and True Beings in the lofts, all stared blankly at the treasure light ascending to the highest floor of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, their eyes filled with shock that was indescribable in words.

Eighteen months ago, someone had caused a sensation throughout the Primal Chaos Realm by breaking through twelve levels in a single day, but after all, that was still within understandable bounds.

Powerful experts at the Peak of the Spirit Transmutation Stage had the opportunity to break through the first twelve floors of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, it was just a matter of how much time it took.

Breaking through twelve levels, although it broke the historical record, only made many cultivators feel admiration; it didn’t bring about a sense of despair that they were powerless to compete.

But today’s breakthrough of five levels straight to the top floor truly shattered everyone’s perceptions.

One should know that from the thirteenth level onwards, those who could pass through would need at least the cultivation of a Spirit Refining True Being, and over the tens of thousands of years the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda has existed, very few people have broken through the fourteenth level.

This mysterious trialist not only broke the record for the fourteenth level that had stood for tens of thousands of years but also ascended to the top floor of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda in one fell swoop.

This meant that the mysterious trialist was only one step away from mastering the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, an unparalleled most precious immortal tool.

After a long silence, the three markets were all overwhelmed by the clamorous noise that filled the sky.

One cultivator after another watched the unprecedented ascent to the top floor of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda with excited expressions and discussed with familiar people, full of surprise on their faces.

“The top floor, who exactly is the genius who managed to successfully ascend to the top of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda?”

“I think it might be that mysterious sacred sage who has never revealed his identity.”

“Fool! The fact that the Third Imperial Prince and the other three sages failed the trial and appeared in front of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda’s gate has already spread throughout the three markets, only you are still stubbornly clinging to your own beliefs in the so-called major sects.

This brilliant genius who ascended to the top must be that one from Lingxu Market!”

“According to rumors from the market, that genius hasn’t even reached the Spirit Refining Stage yet, but he was able to overpower four Spirit Refining True Beings and ascend to the top level, how exceptional is this peerless talent?”

“It seems that what has been passed down by the Great Grotto Heavens Blessed Land, that reaching the top floor of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda requires the cultivation of a Return-to-Void Great True Being at the Peak, is purely nonsensical.

The Great Grotto Heavens Blessed Land have no geniuses who could ascend, so they spread such false news to deceive us. It’s thanks to that genius from Lingxu Market that we are able to understand the truth.”

The many cultivators in Lingxu Market looked at the treasure light rising to the highest floor, each showing a proud expression.

During these eighteen months, many people have pieced together various clues and already ascertained that the genius did not come from a major sect.

Being able to compete with sages and princes while coming from a minor sect was already a point of pride for many Loose Cultivators and minor sects.

And now, the fact that the genius could ascend to the top floor of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda has allowed the previously ridiculed Lingxu Market cultivators to hold their heads up high.

Inside a tavern in the outer layers of Lingxu Market, a well-dressed cultivator’s face flushed red as he spoke loudly:

“This fellow Daoist who ascended to the top floor of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda has earned our Lingxu Market cultivators great a great deal of face.

I’m happy today. I’ll buy a jug of Hundred Flower Brew for each person present, put it on my tab.”

“Brother Zhu has good taste. I may not have much to my name, but I’m willing to offer some Spirit Fruit for everyone to taste!”

“I’ve also just hunted a savage beast, please have the chef prepare it quickly, to accompany the drinks for our fellow Daoists.”

Inside Lingxu Market, many Loose Cultivators and sect cultivators contributed money and effort, the atmosphere growing even more boisterous.

In Chong Yue and Listen to the Tide Markets, the vast majority of cultivators also showed excited expressions.

Although they were somewhat displeased to be outdone by the bumpkins of Lingxu Market, witnessing history made it seem insignificant.

On every street corner, discussions could be heard.

“An Immortal Artifact choosing its master! I never thought I’d live to see the birth of a legend, the scene of an Immortal Artifact choosing its master!”

“The Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda is an Immortal Artifact treasure nurtured by the Primal Chaos Realm, which is absolutely top-notch even among the Immortal Artifacts of the Primal Chaos Realm.

If that genius can control the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, it’s not impossible for him to ascend to the Immortal Realm and dominate the Primal Chaos Realm for thousands of years in the future.”

However, amidst the many discussions in the outside world, within the upper-floor private room of an inn in Listen to the Tide Market, the atmosphere seemed somewhat out of place.

In this private room sat nine great Spirit Transmutation cultivators, each of them the pride of their era from the Great Grotto Heavens Blessed Land, with Wen TianTai of Purple Mysticism Grotto Bright Heavens and Liew Hang of Taiyuan Xuanchen Grotto Heavensamong them.

Apart from Wen TianTai, who wore a calm expression with a faint smile, the rest were stiff-faced and silent.

The reason, of course, was related to the treasure light that ascended straight to the top floor of Lingxu Market.

Eighteen months earlier, they had scorned a Qi-training cultivator who had ascended to the top floor.

Eighteen months later, all four sages and princes at the Spirit Refining True Being Stage had failed, with only that Qi-training cultivator reaching the end and ascending to the top floor, just a step away from the Immortal Artifact choosing its master.

Their once skeptical and disdainful rhetoric now seemed so absurd and laughable.

One wanted to say something, mouth slightly open, but as his gaze swept over the dazzling treasure light at the very top of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, he fell silent again.

Ascending to the top floor, this meant that he was already one of the most outstanding geniuses in the Primal Chaos Realm for tens of thousands of years.
