Indeed, the appearance and strength of the Martial God Palace's disciples were not on the same level as the Three Thousand Great Palaces. This was where the elites of the True Martial Emperor Palace gathered. Only Nirvana Tribulation Realm experts and geniuses were qualified to stay here.
In fact, very few of the geniuses were directly selected from the Hidden Dragon Ranking Battle. Most of them were the descendants of powerhouses, and some were brought back from the True Martial Emperor Domain by the various powerhouses of the True Martial Emperor Palace. Those who were selected were all outstanding geniuses.
There was little jealousy in their eyes, but more respect and admiration. They envied Long Chen for being summoned by Martial Emperor Palace.
These experts didn't want to spectate like the youngsters, but they were also observing from afar. Long Chen discovered that there were many Nirvana Tribulation Realm experts on the first floor. The True Martial Emperor Palace was ranked third among the twelve major powers. Including the Devil Dragon Hall, the number of Nirvana Tribulation Realm experts should be far more than a hundred. There should be at least five hundred of them.
Martial Emperor Palace was stronger than two forces of the Nine Realms combined.
For example, the Supreme Yin Devil World only had one hundred to two hundred Nirvana Realm experts.
Along the way, no one made any noise. They just looked at Long Chen enviously and whispered to each other. The Five Elements Clear Sky Pagoda was huge. It was one hundred and fifty miles from the entrance to Martial Emperor Road. Long Chen followed Wenren Jingtao and quickened his pace. It didn't take long for them to reach the center of the pagoda.
In the vicinity, there were basically warriors at the ninth level of the Divine Martial Arts Realm. Many of them looked very young. It seemed that they were not very old.
Not far in front of him, there was a huge hole in the ceiling, with a diameter of one mile. This was the True Martial Emperor's Road that led to the other levels. Long Chen looked from afar and saw a plainly dressed young man standing in the middle of the True Martial Emperor's Road, bathed in golden light.
This youth looked indifferent as if he was in a trance. He looked much younger than Long Chen. He was only about one and a half meters tall. Compared to Wenren Jingtao's figure, he could only be described as weak.
He was wearing plain clothes with his hands behind his back. He looked at Long Chen silently. His expression didn't change much.
However, no one dared to get close to this young man. Occasionally, they would look at him with a face full of reverence. There were even many young people who were quietly sizing up this young man with eyes full of reverence and respect.
Nangong Lie had disappeared into the crowd, and Long Chen remembered Han Yunxing. He and Wenren Jingtao came to the plain young man. Wenren Jingtao's face was full of respect, and he quickly knelt in front of the young man and said, "Reporting to Martial Sovereign, Long Chen is here."
Long Chen was suddenly enlightened. So this ordinary-looking youth was actually an ancestor of the Wenren Clan, one of the three great Martial Saints, Wenren Xi. Long Chen also hurriedly bowed and said politely, "Junior Long Chen greets Senior Wenren Xi."
Even though Wenren Xi looked young, he was actually extremely old. However, his appearance coupled with his slightly serious expression caused him to give off a strange feeling of maturity from a young man.
He walked barefoot towards Long Chen and looked Long Chen up and down. There was a look of approval in his eyes. He held Long Chen's hands and helped Long Chen up. He said, "The Emperor has been waiting for you for a long time. I'll take you up now."
Wenren Xi did things in a clean and direct manner. Before the crowd could see enough of Long Chen, Wenren Xi took him up the True Martial Emperor's Road and flew up.
In the process of ascending, Long Chen looked around and saw that he had gradually passed the second level of the Five Elements Haotian Pagoda, the third level, all the way to the tenth level. The height of each level was about 50 meters. The higher he went, the more pressure he felt. This kind of pressure was not only present in the True Martial Emperor's Road, but also in every level.
In reality, if a disciple could reach the twentieth floor in the True Martial Emperor's Road, he could cultivate and live in the tenth floor at most. The twentieth floor was his limit.
In the entire Martial God Palace, only the three Martial Sovereigns could reach the top. However, this did not mean that the three Martial Sovereigns could live and cultivate at the top.
With Wenren Xi holding onto his arm and bearing the pressure for him, Long Chen basically didn't feel any pressure at all.
Seeing that he was climbing higher and higher, Long Chen counted in his heart. He was already close to the fiftieth floor. After the fiftieth floor, Long Chen could see that there were not many cultivators left.
"Raging Waves, you can only cultivate in the fiftieth floor at most," Wenren Xi suddenly said as they advanced.
"Oh …" Long Chen nodded.
This was also to say that with his situation, being able to persist around level 30 or so was already considered pretty good. Even if he mustered up all his strength, he could only rush up to level 50 or so. The ranks of experts were arranged very clearly in the Five Elements Vast Heaven Pagoda.
"I usually stay near the eightieth floor. In the entire True Martial Emperor Palace, only the three of us Martial Sovereigns can cultivate there," Wenren Xi continued.
As for the ninety-ninth floor, he would need to expend some energy to rush up.
In the blink of an eye, they reached the eightieth floor. If Wenren Xi had not used his immense energy to surround him, he would have been crushed by the pressure. However, Wenren Xi was still very relaxed. He continued to lead Long Chen up. After that, he did not say anything else.
When they reached the ninetieth floor, he said, "In a while, Lin Junyao will bring you to see the Emperor Lord. She is someone who accompanies the Emperor Lord all year round."
Lin Junyao was another one of the three Martial Sovereigns. From this name, Lin Junyao should be a woman.
Wenren Xi had just finished speaking when a woman appeared above the True Martial Emperor Path. This woman descended from the sky. She did not look very old, and her clothes were not extravagant. They were very plain. This seemingly simple young lady should be one of the three Martial Sovereigns, Lin Junyao.
Long Chen did not know how to describe this woman. She looked very ordinary at first glance. She was very simple and gentle, but she had a magical charm that made people feel close to her. Every frown and smile of hers was eye-catching. She had a pair of clear eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything in people's hearts. However, they would not reject her. She was like a big sister next door that made people's hearts filled with respect.
"Leave it to me," Lin Junyao said to Wenren Xi.
She extended her lily-white hand and grabbed Long Chen's wrist. She gently pulled Long Chen to her side. Wenren Xi's palm was warm, but Lin Junyao's was as cold as snow. He did not feel any warmth at all.
Long Chen sobered up a little and said, "Greetings, Senior Martial Sovereign."
Lin Junyao had a smile on her lips the entire time.
At this moment, Wenren Xi did not say much and went down directly.
"I will bring you to see the Emperor Lord now."
Lin Junyao extended her hand and pulled Long Chen up. Long Chen looked up and saw that the top of the True Martial Emperor Path was above the 98th floor. There was a five-colored whirlpool above it. Lin Junyao stopped at the Five Elements Clear Sky Pagoda on the 98th floor and said to Long Chen, "The Emperor Lord is in the middle of that five-colored whirlpool. Remember, after you enter, do not move. Just listen to the Emperor Lord's words."
Her voice was quiet and gentle, making it impossible to resist. Long Chen nodded subconsciously.
An expert of Lin Junyao's level was probably stronger than Wenren Xi since she could stay by the True Martial Emperor's side. She was probably very close to the Demonic Dragon Palace Master's level. Long Chen had been very lucky recently. The warriors he had seen were basically all at the peak of the entire Three Regions and Nine Realms. For example, the Demonic Dragon Palace Master, the Four Major Swordmasters, the Three Major Martial Sovereigns, and now he was even going to see the True Martial Emperor.
After Lin Junyao finished explaining, she held Long Chen's hand and asked Long Chen to close his eyes. Then, she gently threw Long Chen into the five-colored whirlpool. Long Chen's body quickly disappeared into the five-colored whirlpool.
Lin Junyao looked at the five-colored whirlpool and murmured, "What a magical child. He actually alarmed him."
If Lin Junyao and the other Three Major Martial Sovereigns were legends, then the True Martial Emperor was a legend among legends.
In the blink of an eye, Long Chen entered the 99th level of the Five Elements Clear Sky Pagoda. There were only a few people in the entire True Martial Emperor Palace who could set foot here. This was the place where the True Martial Emperor of the past generations had stayed. Before he entered, Long Chen felt an enormous pressure that almost crushed his body. He was about to vomit blood. Fortunately, the pressure disappeared and he entered a new world.
The Emperor Star was already in a Small Universe Realm. The highest level of the Five Elements Clear Sky Pagoda should be another Small Universe Realm. It could be considered a world within a world.
Long Chen obeyed Lin Junyao's instructions and only opened his eyes after entering.
Before him was a world of primal chaos. Mist rose up, making it seem as if he was in a fairyland. There was white mist everywhere. When Long Chen's eyes widened and he saw his surroundings clearly, a look of shock and surprise appeared on his face.
This seemed to be a huge world. Long Chen was floating in the center, and below him was a sea of lava. The lava was fiery red, and raging flames were burning on it, stretching as far as the eye could see, and there was no end to it.
He looked up and found that there was an ocean above his head. The seawater did not fall down. Instead, it gathered in the sky as though it was gravity itself. The waves surged and countless seawater rolled, making rumbling sounds.
At the place where the ocean and lava converged, there was actually a vast yellow land. The yellow soil was thick, and it was hard to see how vast it was. Above the yellow soil, there was an indescribably huge ancient tree that soared into the sky. The huge crown of the tree covered half of the sky, and it directly pierced into the ocean in the sky. At the end of the ocean, there was a golden mountain peak that emitted a dazzling light. Its size was even larger than the ancient tree that soared into the sky.
This world …

I would like to recommend a new work, "Beheading the Emperor." It needs to be put on the shelves in November. I'm still lacking some collections. I hope my brothers can help add it to the shelves.
