Chapter 498: 495: Preparations Complete_1
Mei Xiuying had been with her disciple for many years, and she knew her disciple’s confusion well. She said expressionlessly, “Caiying, do you remember the benefactor I once mentioned to you?”
“The one who, when you were young, saw your martial arts talent? The one who saved you from the commoners’ enclave, gave you cultivation methods, and nurtured you?” Jiang Caiying asked.
She knew quite a bit about her master’s affairs.
Her master often mentioned her benefactor.
It was a pity that Jiang Caiying didn’t know the benefactor’s name and never asked. It was just a story, so his name was not important.
At this moment, Jiang Caiying couldn’t help but ask, “But didn’t that benefactor die?”
“Yes, he died, killed by Hua Wanru.” Mei Xiuying closed her eyes. “My benefactor’s name was also Yang Chen.”
“Master, we can’t afford to offend Hua Wanru…” Jiang Caiying said with some fear.
“Even if we can’t afford to, can’t I just mention it?” Mei Xiuying sighed, her face showing a trace of sadness.
At the same time, outside Tiandu Divine Country’s Secret Realm, following the commotion between the Black Dragon Sect and Mei Xiuying, many forces no longer felt the leisure to stay. They dispersed in a short time, and few forces remained.
“Wood Master, Yang Chen, our Yanhua Pool will take our leave first. Yang Chen, if you have time afterwards, be sure to come to our Yanhua Pool,” said the Pond Master of Yanhua Pool with a grin.
“Surely!” Yang Chen quickly bowed.
Wood Master, Mù Báishēng was naturally very polite to Yanhua Pool and saw them off in person.
After Yanhua Pool left, Mu Baisheng and several Supreme Elders changed their expressions when they looked at Yang Chen.
After all, Yang Chen had chosen to refuse Mei Xiuying’s temptation and chose to stand with their Yuanshan Sect. What kind of person was Mei Xiuying? Although she was just one person, her status was far above theirs.
How could their Yuanshan Sect compare with Mei Xiuying?
Yang Chen’s actions naturally made the Yuanshan Sect feel at ease.
Because of this, Mù Báishēng asked Yang Chen kindly, “Yang Chen, what are your plans next?”
Yang Chen replied courteously, “Sect Leader, I plan to go to the Trial Tower!”
This was something he had planned long ago.
In fact, with his abilities, it would be very easy for him to reach the Origin Martial Realm within Tiandu Divine Country. There were many materials available; wouldn’t it be easy for him to refine some elixirs to help enter the Origin Martial Realm? However, he aimed to break through the Trial Tower as well.
Others might not know or have the ability to do so, but he knew and had the ability.
He was very clear about what it meant to break into the twentieth layer of the Origin Martial Realm, with just a half-step from the Yuan Martial Realm.
Others didn’t think about breaking through the twentieth layer, but Yang Chen did.
“I’ve broken through the Ten Despair Challenges set by the Tiandu Emperor, so what’s impossible about the twentieth layer of the Trial Tower for me?” Yang Chen thought to himself.
Breaking into the twentieth layer of the Trial Tower would be of great benefit.
“Trial Tower?” Mù Báishēng was taken aback, and then said, “Indeed, breaking through the Trial Tower is a good thing! Elder Ma, Elder Li, you two should follow Yang Chen and escort him to Beishan Main City.”
“Yes, Sect Leader!” Elder Ma and Elder Li stood up one after another.
Yang Chen now felt Mù Báishēng’s sincerity.
Because both Elder Ma and Elder Li were not ordinary people.
Both of them had reached the Half-step True Martial Realm in their martial arts cultivation. With these two protecting him, his chances of encountering danger on his way to Beishan Main City would be greatly reduced.
“Thank you, Sect Leader,” Yang Chen said.
“Ha ha, you don’t need to thank me, this is what you deserve,” said Mù Báishēng.
So, Yang Chen eventually parted ways with Mù Báishēng and chose two different paths. Yang Chen and the two Half-step True Martial Realm Elders headed directly to Beishan Main City. Their speed was moderate, and in about ten days, Yang Chen had already arrived at Beishan Main City.
Unlike the last time, there was no one to greet Yang Chen when he arrived at Beishan Main City. After all, compared to before, Yang Chen had caused quite a commotion in Beishan Main City. Moreover, the team from Beishan Main City had just returned from the Tiandu Emperor’s Secret Realm. Even if they noticed him, they would not deliberately greet him.
Yang Chen was well aware of these things and did not hope that the people of Beishan Main City would take him to the Trial Tower immediately. Instead, he found a place to settle down in the Beishan Main City first and planned to stay for a few days before moving on.
“Elder Li, Elder Ma, I need your help in contacting the people of Beishan Main City,” Yang Chen said slowly, “I will be in seclusion for a few days, about ten days or so, and the matter of breaking into the Trial Tower, I’ll leave it to you.”
“Young Sect Master, we will contact the people of Beishan Main City right now,” said Elder Li and Elder Ma in unison.
Thus, after giving the instructions, Yang Chen entered seclusion.
Although he had broken through the Ten Despair Challenges, he dared not take the Trial Tower lightly. He was very clear that carelessness was the source of failure.
He was cautious for a reason.
As per what the Tiandu Emperor had said, the difficulty of the Ten Despair Challenges was much higher than the first twenty layers of the Training Tower.
At first, he subconsciously thought that with his breakthrough in the Ten Despair Challenges, he could easily break through the first twenty layers of the Training Tower. Yet now that he thought about it more carefully, that was not the case at all.
In the Ten Despair Challenges, he had faced demonic beasts, and it was because he was facing demonic beasts that he could use the soul capabilities of the Fishpeople Tribe. In addition, he could summon the Golden Claws to help him, which were various reasons why he had broken through the Ten Despair Challenges.
However, in the twentieth layer of the Trial Tower, he couldn’t use those abilities.
