"I saw that this child was extraordinary back then. In less than 100 years, he passed the ninth palace. I can make him my subordinate!
Forget it, although he refused once, this time I sent an avatar. He can see that I value him! "
In the Dao Yi Sect, before the waterfall that seemed to fall from the heavens, Grand Empyrean Dao Yi's eyes narrowed and the smile on his face became even wider.
In the Northern Continent's glacier, Grand Empyrean Wu Feng looked at the glacier before him and closed his eyes.
"This child has passed the test in the Mountain Sea and passed the ninth palace. His combat power is similar to an Ascendant Empyrean's … Dao Yi has his eyes on him, so he will definitely fight for him. However, Dao Yi's personality is arrogant. Although he won't go with his divine sense, at most, he will send an avatar … This time, I'll personally recruit him with my original body. This child should be able to judge who values him!"
On Mount Emperor, the beautiful woman revealed a happy smile. She seemed even happier than Wang Lin that he had passed the ninth palace.
However, the old man beside her looked at the autumn leaves and didn't care at all.
The old man shook his head and slowly said, "It is only the ninth palace. He is only at the peak of Empyrean Exalt. After passing the 10th palace, he will become an Ascendant Empyrean. However, even if he passes the 10th palace, he will still be at the bottom of Ascendant Empyrean Ming Dao."
The beautiful woman turned around and angrily said, "Teacher!!"
The old man paused and wryly smiled. "Forget it. If he can pass the 10th palace, I'll ask him if he is willing to become the Old Man's subordinate.
"Alas, the first nine palaces are for Empyrean Exalts to pass. The 10th palace is the dividing line between Empyrean Exalts and Ascendant Empyreans. After passing the 10th palace, one can become an Ascendant Empyrean. As for the 11th palace and above, it is completely different from the first nine palaces. Aside from cultivation and combat power, one also needs to understand dao.
"Empyrean Trial, this is the meaning of the last nine palaces!
"Every time one passes one of the last nine palaces, it is a great fortune. This Wang Lin …" The old man looked at his disciple and no longer spoke.
Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi was filled with excitement as she took a deep breath. She closed her eyes and her divine sense spread out into the sky!
In a luxurious palace in the Central Continent's Imperial City, within the empty palace, a cold laugh echoed through the palace when Wang Lin passed the ninth level.
"Is this the person that Dao Fei can't forget …? I've underestimated him …. In the Purple Sun Sect of the Eastern Continent, the middle-aged cultivator was staring at the mirror in front of him alone. He ignored the faint screams that came from outside and his eyes were shining brightly.
"We must recruit him!
"Since Grand Empyrean's last reincarnation, we have been separated for many years. His prestige is lacking, and most of the Empyrean Exalts and Ascendant Empyreans he recruited have left … Now that Grand Empyrean is about to reincarnate again, if this person can become his subordinate, he will be able to play a protective role!"
At the same time, in the Empyrean Trial, after Wang Lin passed the ninth level, all the Empyrean Exalts here bowed. Shortly after, nearly 100 people clasped their hands and quickly left. After their divine senses returned to their bodies, they used their connections to inform the Empyrean Exalts they were familiar with.
After all, someone had passed the ninth level. This matter was extremely important to the Empyrean Exalts and could be considered a grand event. As news of this spread, it didn't take long for even more Empyrean Exalts to gather from all over the celestial clan.
There was a flash of golden light in the ninth level and Wang Lin walked out. He sat in the air and didn't continue to the 10th level, but he also didn't give up.
The entire Empyrean Exalt Trial was covered in golden light. All the Empyrean Exalts who arrived after receiving the notice were immediately shrouded in golden light the moment they entered the transfer array. They looked up and saw the endless golden light coming from the ninth floor. At the same time, they saw the figure sitting inside the golden light.
Their expressions were serious, and there was a hint of anticipation in their eyes!
At this moment, most of the Empyrean Exalts here no longer mocked Wang Lin. Even their disdain had been crushed by reality. They respected the strong, especially those who could pass the ninth level. They were at the peak of Empyrean Exalts!
Time gradually passed and more and more Empyrean Exalts arrived. Rays of light flew over from the transfer array, and the light from the transfer array never stopped.
Soon, there were nearly 700 Empyrean Exalts in the Empyrean Trial. They occupied almost 70% of all the Empyrean Exalts in the celestial clan!
There were also Empyrean Exalts who rushed over after receiving the news.
"This matter has caused a great sensation. More and more people are coming to the Empyrean Trial …"
"Once he passes the 10th palace, he will become an Ascendant Empyrean … However, the 10th palace is said to be more difficult than the previous nine palaces combined. Otherwise, the 49th Ascendant Empyrean wouldn't have appeared in tens of thousands of years …"
"It will likely be a bit difficult. Although very few Empyrean Exalts have passed the ninth palace, there are still some. Which one of them wasn't famous? They even caused a stir when they passed the ninth palace. Many people were looking forward to it, but they failed at the 10th palace … This time is likely to be the same."
Inside the Empyrean Trial, more than 700 Empyrean Exalts were scattered. While looking at the golden figure in the ninth palace, they were either thinking, talking with each other, or asking about Wang Lin's name and what had happened before.
Among the more than 700 Empyrean Exalts, there were some who were extremely calm. They were different, and even though they were just standing there, the other Empyrean Exalts were very polite to them.
There were less than a dozen of them, and they had all passed the ninth palace but stopped at the 10th palace. They had come here to see if Wang Lin could take the step they dreamed of!
"Brother Zhao, do you think this person can pass the 10th palace?"
"It will be difficult!
You and I have both tried the 10th palace. If this person really had the confidence to pass the 10th palace, he wouldn't still be cultivating. "
After another half an incense stick of time, there were nearly 800 cultivators gathered at the Empyrean Trial. Almost all the Empyrean Exalts in the celestial clan had put down the matter of the seven blades and rushed here to witness this important event.
Among the crowd was a woman. She was extremely beautiful and was Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi. She didn't want to see the autumn leaf at Mount Emperor and had come personally. Looking at the figure in the sky, Empyrean Exalt Hai Zi smiled.
"This fellow disappeared for more than a decade after leaving the Mountain Sea. I didn't expect him to be so shocking the moment he reappeared!"
Just as the nearly 800 Empyrean Exalts were waiting for Wang Lin to attempt the 10th palace, the transfer array in the distance began to flash. A middle-aged man in white walked out. He had a cold expression and didn't look at anyone. Instead, he jumped into the air and looked at Wang Lin.
"Ascendant Empyrean Snow Rain!!"
"Even Ascendant Empyrean was alarmed!"
"It's not just Ascendant Empyrean Snow Rain. Look, that's Ascendant Empyrean Dao Lun!"
The appearance of an Ascendant Empyrean immediately caught the attention of other Empyrean Exalts. The transfer array flashed and another person walked out. This person was an old man who frowned. He flew into the air and looked at the man in white. They nodded at each other and then looked at Wang Lin.
"Ascendant Empyrean Meng Shuang!"
"That's Ascendant Empyrean Zi Tuo. It's him. He looks like a child all year round, so it must be him!
Rumor has it that he passed the 12th palace!! "
Bursts of discussions silently echoed among the nearly 800 Empyrean Exalts.
A total of four Ascendant Empyreans appeared in the ancient transfer array. The four of them didn't talk to each other and immediately looked at the sky.
Just at this moment, the surroundings suddenly became silent because Wang Lin, who was sitting inside the golden light in the ninth palace, stood up. His action immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Wang Lin looked down at the crowd below and frowned, but he soon relaxed. His purpose was to shock the world. The more people here, the better.
Among the crowd below, there were four people that caught Wang Lin's attention. These four were the four Ascendant Empyreans that had come here. When Wang Lin looked at them, they looked back at Wang Lin. Their expressions were calm, without the slightest emotion.
After their gazes met, Wang Lin withdrew his gaze and walked toward the 10th floor. With one step, he charged toward the 10th floor at an extremely fast speed and disappeared without a trace!
"He has passed the 10th palace!!"
"The 10th palace is like the dragon's gate. Once he passes it, he will be the 49th Ascendant Empyrean of my celestial clan!"
All the cultivators below watched with rapt attention, afraid to miss anything.
At this moment, in the celestial clan, Dao Yi, Wu Feng, and the people in the empty palace in the imperial city all looked at the Empyrean Trial before them. They watched Wang Lin walk into the 10th palace!
There was also the middle-aged man in the Purple Yang Sect. He took a deep breath and didn't even blink.
"Can he pass …" This was the same thought that appeared in the hearts of many people, including all the Empyrean Exalts here!
Time passed. Eight breaths had passed since Wang Lin entered the 10th palace!
The ninth breath, the tenth breath … Everyone's gazes gathered on the 10th palace that they could only vaguely see. This palace had not released a sliver of golden light for tens of thousands of years!
However, every time it released a sliver of golden light, it meant that there was one more Ascendant Empyrean on the celestial clan!
There were only 48 Ascendant Empyreans on the celestial clan. Once one more appeared, it would be a golden age for the celestial clan. Even the Ancient clan would know of such a cultivator. Such a cultivator was enough to cause a stir across the Immortal Astral Continent!
The eleventh breath, the twelfth breath, the Shi San breath … Until the twentieth breath!
"He must have failed …" Among the Empyrean Exalts below, someone sighed.
However, just at this moment, a series of exclamations echoed in this silent Empyrean Trial like a monstrous wave!!
"Golden light!!!
That is golden light!!! "
"Golden light from the 10th palace!!
After tens of thousands of years, golden light has appeared in the 10th palace again!!! "
"He … passed it!!"
In the sky, the hazy tenth level was mostly covered by clouds and mist. But after twenty breaths of time, in front of everyone's eyes, a shocking golden light that shook the heavens and the earth shone!!
The expressions of the four Ascendant Empyreans suddenly became serious!
Ascendant Empyrean, please get monthly votes!!!
