**Chapter 133: Time to Get Famous!**
The Myriad Path Divine Tower has a tiered structure, and the Immortal Alliance sets the difficulty based on the cultivation level of the trial participants.
The Foundation Establishment Stage trials are configured for the Foundation Establishment Stage, so of course, the challenges correspond to that level as well, which in turn affects the energy reserves of every single floor in the tower.
Thus, in order to extract the stored Spiritual Energy from the Myriad Path Divine Tower, one would need to possess a Spiritual Energy strength that far exceeds the tower’s current settings!
Such an occurrence is as rare as finding a unicorn, even over a hundred years!
However, it’s not unheard of for some of the Immortal Alliance’s talented prodigies to extract stored Spiritual Energy due to their exceptionally powerful Spiritual Energy.
But pulling the entire tower to the brink of collapse? That’s a feat that has only happened twice in the history of the Immortal Alliance since its inception!
Once was the legendary Xia Wudi during his trial, and the second time… well, that would be now!
The tower roared to life, with all the energy reserves up to the fifty-fifth floor completely drained, leaving not a single drop behind, all gathering at the thirtieth floor!
This commotion shocked everyone present. As they felt the Myriad Path Divine Tower becoming increasingly hollow, their hearts raced with astonishment!
“What the heck! What’s happening?”
“Did someone inside drain the power of the Myriad Path Divine Tower? Who’s this awesome?”
“This… this is just like the time when Senior Xia Wudi stormed the tower!”
Cultivators murmured in excited chatter, clearly recognizing the resemblance. It was as if the legends were about to be retold once more.
Even the big shots sitting on the high platform were wide-eyed and standing up in shock.
Master Qin, Master Youyue, Master Li, and representatives from various influential families were all speechless, their eyes glued to the Myriad Path Divine Tower.
“Th-this, this, after Xia Wudi, how can there be someone like this appearing again!” Master Qin muttered, his voice trembling.
Even these powerful figures in the cultivation world were utterly astounded by such a magnificent spectacle.
Is the second Xia Wudi about to emerge?
Who are these three trial participants, anyway?
Mu Jixue? Lin Zhongyu? Or maybe… that Yun Zhonghe?
No one knew for certain and they would have to wait until the tower reopened to hear from the person involved.
However, some in the crowd couldn’t contain their excitement any longer.
This scene was no less than the manifestation of seven or eight celestial phenomena all at once.
As everyone knows, when such phenomena occur, it often heralds the appearance of divine artifacts or extraordinarily gifted prodigies.
But regardless of the reason—it’s all destiny at play, right?
But to trigger the Myriad Path Divine Tower? Now that was a completely man-made event, which the Immortal Alliance had secretly tagged as a must-report incident!
Previously, when Yun Zhonghe managed to drain part of the tower, it was enough to just keep an eye on things. Now, however, the situation has escalated to the point where reporting is not optional!
Many sect members exploring Cangzhou City began reporting the situation as soon as they witnessed this spectacle.
[Three trial participants from Cangzhou City have shaken the Myriad Path Divine Tower!]
[Is this the reincarnation of Xia Wudi?!]
[Which family’s disciple is it? Submit all information to the sect within the incense burn time—quickly!]
[No matter the cost, we must bring this person into our sect!]
Countless factions snapped into action, quietly nurturing ideas of recruitment in their minds.
At this moment, the world over was buzzing with activity; countless powerful forces were ready to respond as if a pot had boiled over.
Meanwhile, Yun Zhonghe’s parents were blissfully unaware, completely baffled by the situation. After all, this was beyond their understanding; the Yun family was only somewhat prominent in Cangzhou City, but now, in the grand scheme of the cultivation realm, they seemed a little lost.
Moreover, they weren’t even sure who was causing all the ruckus inside.
At this moment, however, among the ten great celestial sects, the leader of the Eastern Continent’s Xuantian Sect, Master Qin, was very much aware of how big of a wave this situation was about to cause in the cultivation world.
He immediately made a decision in his heart; whoever this person was, he would find a way to bring them to the Xuantian Sect—kidnap them if necessary and make them his direct disciple.
A direct disciple of the Master! That title could definitely lock in these three young ones.
“Dang it, come out already! Don’t take too long in there; if too many people from other sects show up, it won’t be good!”
Master Qin’s expression darkened, he seemed mentally prepared to smash his way through to keep his prized recruit.
This was his sect’s disciple, and no one was allowed to snatch them away!
…
Yun Zhonghe was causing quite the stir, but he didn’t have time to worry about that. Nothing was more important than getting stronger.
He was still greedily consuming pure Spiritual Energy.
The stronger his Spiritual Energy, the higher he could draw from the tower, and as the floors got higher, the more Spiritual Energy he could amass, resulting in an even stronger Spiritual Energy for him.
Gradually, he began attempting to draw energy from above the fifty-fifth floor.
Because at this moment, his Spiritual Pearls had increased from four to six, and with an increase in his Spiritual Energy, he could reach further and take even more.
Fifty-sixth floor… empty! Fifty-seventh floor… empty!
Seven Pearls… eight Pearls!
Eight Spiritual Pearls!
Even though his Spiritual Energy level was still in the mid-stage of Initial Understanding, the quantity increase was astonishing.
Eight Spiritual Pearls were plenty to simultaneously store two Sword Qis, meaning he could stack the power twice!
As Yun Zhonghe sat in meditation, he suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze shooting out two razor-sharp beams of light, fierce and unmatched. He slapped the ground with his left hand, launching himself into the air, while simultaneously performing his left-handed sword technique.
The injury on his right hand couldn’t stop his momentum.
Yun Zhonghe charged at Xia Wudi once more.
But this time, it wasn’t just an attempt; he was aiming to break through!
Simply understanding and learning sword techniques wouldn’t suffice to break through; he would need to defeat Xia Wudi using the same technique to access the thirty-fifth floor.
The left-handed sword technique—the Eight Desolate Sword Technique!
One stack! Two stacks!
Triple damage!
In terms of single attack power, Yun Zhonghe was much stronger. For the first three moves, he had absolute advantage in strength, making it the perfect opportunity to defeat the illusion of Xia Wudi!
However, it seemed Xia Wudi sensed that Yun Zhonghe had grasped her techniques, and the corner of her mouth curled up slightly, as if she was starting to get serious.
Her speed increased, and her sword technique sequences multiplied. For every sword Yun Zhonghe struck, she unleashed two, parrying his attacks while executing two additional damage stacks.
After three exchanges, Yun Zhonghe had tripled his damage output while she managed six times hers!
Yun Zhonghe couldn’t help but gasp. He continued with his fourth strike, but this time, his stacking had hit its limit, and he could only maintain triple output.
But Xia Wudi could still stack more!
Eight times… ten times… twelve times…
Utilizing her sequence advantage, she gradually began to equalize her power with Yun Zhonghe, even starting to edge past him.
Yun Zhonghe’s advantage was completely neutralized, and he became the one being suppressed. Continuing like this, he would definitely lose.
Triple was far from enough; he had to amplify his strength! He needed to exceed Xia Wudi’s defenses so she’d have no chance to hold her ground!
Yun Zhonghe had to continue boosting his Spiritual Energy!
“Ughhhh!!!”
Yun Zhonghe roared, battling fiercely while simultaneously draining the Myriad Path Divine Tower’s energy reserves.
The eight Spiritual Pearls all activated at once, and the energy on the levels below sixty vanished into thin air.
