Yuan’s Ascension

Any information above level eighty-five was not disclosed in the records of the Seven Star Luminaries Tower in the Eternal Sun Immortal Voidrealm.

The one-star tower records of various immortal nations generally reached level seventy or eighty-something, with none surpassing level eighty-five.

However, this news couldn't be kept from the upper echelons of the Eternal Sun Immortal World. Many core Astral Monarchs and Sovereigns swiftly received this information.

Of course, apart from a select few, most only knew that Ming Jian had cleared level one hundred of the one-star tower, unable to see the battle footage.

…

The first to learn of the news was naturally Immortal Sovereign Bei You. Though not the most central figure in the divine court headquarters, he stood at the pinnacle of the Eternal Sun Immortal World. As a Sovereign of Space, his status was exceptionally special.

Within the grand temple in the Bei You Mountain range of the Bei You Realm.

Level one hundred of the one-star tower? He cleared it so effortlessly? Immortal Sovereign Bei You watched the battle footage playing before him.

It showed Wu Yuan's qi refiner self clearing each level. Two unstoppable divine swords effortlessly slaughtered the guardians.

He had to admit, Wu Yuan seemed more adept at the Life Dao.

However, in just over twenty years, he's comprehended True Domain True Intent in the Immortal Belvedere, and his comprehension of Qiankun is also extremely deep. Though slower in the Law of Spatial Rift, he's still crossed the threshold. Immortal Sovereign Bei You instantly grasped Wu Yuan's cultivation progress.

The rate of progress exceeded his imagination.

Certainly, the ‘Compendium of the Law of Space’, ‘True Domain Law Codex’, and the aid of the Fire Divine Gorge Brew, along with the special environment of the Immortal Belvedere, had played a role. But Immortal Sovereign Bei You believed it was more so due to Wu Yuan's immense talent.

External environment is only part of it. The most crucial factor is still oneself. Immortal Sovereign Bei You reflected inwardly. Looking at the many Sovereigns across the entire macrocosm, how many disciples have they raised over countless ages? How many monstrous prodigies? Yet can any match Ming Jian?

It wasn’t just the Eternal Sun Immortal World. Even combining all the factions in the Greenridge Macrocosm, they had never produced a peerless genius who could clear level one hundred of the one-star tower.

Under a hundred years old. Wu Yuan had already achieved a first in the history of the macrocosm!

Those guys can finally no longer sit still and are coming to pay me a visit. Immortal Sovereign Bei You smiled faintly.

Ordinary geniuses didn't concern the other Sovereigns of the Eternal Sun Immortal World. But one who could clear level one hundred of the one-star tower? This was the first time, and things were naturally different.

…

This was a special plane within the Eternal Sun Immortal Voidrealm. It was vast and empty, with endless roiling black mist below. Above the mist hovered several thrones.

Normally, this plane remained sealed. Today, however, several great beings occupied the plane. Their auras were immense, bodies shrouded in mist, their faces indiscernible.

"I'm sure you all know why I've gathered you here today," said the figure on one throne, his voice detached. He seemed particularly imposing. "Bei You, why don't you take the lead to explain?"

"Indeed! Bei You, tsk tsk, to think such a monstrous prodigy was born under your watch without us even realizing. We're all quite envious."

"The divine court headquarters has already issued an order for an inquiry."

"What's the procedure?"

"I’ve looked into it. How is it that this Ming Jian hasn't even entered the divine hall? He's been cultivating in the Bei You Realm this whole time?" The other great beings on the thrones spoke up. They were the true pinnacle existences of the entire immortal world.

"Everyone," said Immortal Sovereign Bei You, his voice remarkably calm from his throne. "First, Ming Jian has his reasons for being unable to join the divine court headquarters. This point is not up for debate."

"Oh?"

"What about the divine court headquarters' order?"

"What reasons?"

"If Bei You doesn't wish to say, there's no need to press further. We'll simply refuse the divine court headquarters' order," the most imposing figure said coolly. "We stand with the divine court, but we're not their slaves. This Ming Jian was nurtured by Bei You alone, so naturally Bei You will decide. The divine court headquarters won't say much about it.

In the end, he's still just a youngster."

The figures on the thrones nodded in agreement.

"Second, his circumstances are special. My Bei You Realm lineage will not join the immortal world's core. If he achieves greatness in the future, his relation to the immortal world might be even more distant than mine," Immortal Sovereign Bei You said calmly. "However, should the immortal world face danger in the future, he will assist to the best of his ability.

You should consider him an outer member of the immortal world."

These words immediately set the other great beings on the thrones deep in thought. They weren't fools. How could they not understand the deeper meaning behind these words?

"As for everything extra he receives from the divine court and immortal world, such as Dao Temple points, I will bear full responsibility for any resulting karma and additional resources consumed," Immortal Sovereign Bei You said evenly. "Do any of you have objections?"

The figures on the other thrones exchanged glances. They initially had some thoughts on the matter. But with Immortal Sovereign Bei You putting it like this, they found themselves unable to speak up.

They all knew Bei You's temperament well. He was extremely proud, and even the divine court headquarters could only acquiesce to his wishes.

His full comprehension of the Law of Space, along with some special techniques he had mastered, granted Immortal Sovereign Bei You an extremely high status.

"Very well, so be it."

"Bei You, we won't interfere with Ming Jian's cultivation then. If you need anything, just let us know." The most imposing figure, whose status was subtly the highest, made the final decision.

"This meeting is adjourned. I will communicate directly with the divine court headquarters."

…

The highest echelons of the Eternal Sun Immortal World didn't make public some of the more sensitive information, but the news they did release was enough to shock the entire upper echelons of the Eternal Sun Immortal World.

"What?"

"He cleared level one hundred of the one-star tower? Heavens! I've never heard of anyone clearing it throughout the endless ages, not even once!"

"Level one hundred of the one-star tower... in terms of Dao comprehension, the guardian is on par with peak High Immortals."

"The first to conquer it." These immortal world bigshots were all astounded.

They had all walked the path of cultivation from the beginning, so they naturally understood the difficulty of clearing level one hundred of the one-star tower.

Less than a hundred years of cultivation, yet his Dao comprehension matched peak High Immortals?

It was widely known that as one's Yuan Soul strengthened and Dao comprehension deepened, the speed of comprehension typically accelerated. To possess such monstrous talent at such a young age—what heights could his future possibly reach?

However, some people began to focus on another matter.

"Ming Jian isn't even a hundred years old now. How old was he decades ago when he dominated the entry-level Eldritch-Immortal Battlefield?"

"Too terrifying."

Many tried to search for detailed intelligence about Ming Jian, but apart from learning that 'Ming Jian is part of Immortal Sovereign Bei You's lineage', they couldn't find out anything else. He remained shrouded in mystery.

…

The super powerhouses of the seven top-tier factions of the macrocosm occasionally exchanged information. Of course, there was no communication between the eldritch and immortal factions.

Such explosive news naturally spread quickly through various private channels.

"Ming Jian cleared level one hundred of the one-star tower?"

"If I remember correctly, the difficulty of level one hundred of the Seven Star Luminaries Tower in the Eternal Sun Immortal World is actually set in accordance with the path of the Supreme Genius, right?"

"Being able to clear level one hundred, if this Ming Jian grows up, he will be a peak Astral Monarch powerhouse at least, right?"

"Truly extraordinary."

"I heard he's from the Bei You's lineage, so he likely excels in the Space Dao." The super powerhouses from various other factions mostly took note of Ming Jian's name.

They wouldn't bother to remember ordinary geniuses. Even when Ming Jian was completely invincible on the entry-level battlefield, most super powerhouses from other factions hadn't paid attention to him.

But a monstrous prodigy who was almost certain to become a peak Astral Monarch, and even had a chance of becoming a Sovereign?

In a million years at most, he would stand alongside them. A million years? For these super powerhouses, it was just a fleeting period. Naturally, they wouldn’t ignore his existence.

It could be said that, at this moment, the name Ming Jian truly left its mark among countless peak powerhouses in the macrocosm, truly becoming renowned throughout the entire macrocosm.
