Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 427 Unrivaled in Popularity
On the last level of the Tower of Inquiry, the illusions ceased to exist, and all phenomena were extinguished, leaving only Jiang Chen standing there quietly.

"The prototype of the Primordial Chaos Technique. I never expected to actually reach this stage this time. It is truly an unexpected delight."

As his inner turmoil subsided, Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, sensing the changes within himself, Jiang Chen was filled with joy.

The magical arts and supernatural powers are extraordinary, rare and difficult to cultivate. Some people in the Purple Mansion may only be able to cultivate one magical art in their entire lives, but he has already cultivated the prototype of one magical art.

In the future, once he comprehends the corresponding true meaning, he will naturally be able to transform this rudimentary technique into a true treasure, which is much easier than normal cultivation.

Most importantly, the Primordial Chaos Technique is related to the condensation of a Purple Mansion cultivator's precious body. Once this technique is mastered, there will be one less obstacle for him to break through to the Purple Mansion in the future.

"It is truly a wonderful place. I imagine the Wuchang Sect put a lot of effort into creating such a training ground for their disciples. Its value is far beyond that of ordinary treasures."

"However, it is by no means an easy thing to reap great benefits from it."

"After all, the best way to pass this level is to conceal your weaknesses in the first few levels to reduce the difficulty of passing the level."

"However, there are gains and losses. As a result, what cultivators can ultimately see is quite limited."

Suppressing his joy, Jiang Chen looked at the empty twelfth floor and various thoughts flashed through his mind.

Just then, a pure white light shone, and a portal forged from that light appeared before Jiang Chen.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen walked out without hesitation.

At the same time, the moment Jiang Chen broke through his barrier, rays of light flowed out from the Tower of Inquiry, paving a path of light, and at the very top of the path of light stood a gate of light, which was the exit of the Tower of Inquiry.

Upon witnessing such a strange phenomenon, the surrounding disciples were immediately drawn to it.

"Such an unusual phenomenon, does it mean someone has broken through their cultivation level?"

"So fast? Who could it be? Is it Senior Brother Xuan Jiaozi or Senior Brother Jiang Chen?"

"Nonsense, of course it's Senior Brother Xuan Jiaozi. In terms of experience, Jiang Chen is still lacking."

With everyone's attention focused on the end of that glorious path, they waited and anticipated.

Before everyone had to wait long, a figure emerged from the portal. He was dressed in feathered robes, wore a jeweled crown, and had a face as white as jade, exuding an otherworldly aura.

"Yes, it's Jiang Chen."

"It was actually Senior Brother Jiang Chen! He went in so much later than Senior Brother Xuan Jiaozi, yet he came out so quickly."

"Terrifying, terrifying! Senior Brother Jiang Chen's future is probably far more brilliant than we expected."

As everyone watched Jiang Chen bathed in light, exuding extraordinary presence, they couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

Although they had considered many possibilities beforehand, the scene before them was still beyond their expectations.

"Compared to Jiang Chen, Xuan Jiaozi is still somewhat lacking. Even if Xuan Jiaozi becomes a true disciple in the future, he will at most be at the level of an ordinary true disciple. But Jiang Chen is different. Judging from the momentum he has shown, he may become the second Gu Lingxiao."

Among the crowd, several people looked thoughtful as they gazed at the radiant Jiang Chen.

Unlike the other disciples who were just watching the spectacle, they were either quite strong themselves or represented a faction, making them potential supporters of Xuan Jiaozi's true inheritance trial.

However, Jiang Chen's appearance has stirred up some strange thoughts in their hearts.

If Xuan Jiaozi's success rate in advancing to the True Disciple level is 50%, then in their view, Jiang Chen's success rate is at least 90%.

While time spent cultivating is often a disadvantage, it can also be the difference between a prodigy and an ordinary genius.

Of course, the happiest people to see Jiang Chen break through were Nianhua and Ge Ziling.

"Junior Brother's talent is truly astonishing." Gazing in the direction of Jiang Chen, Ge Ziling exclaimed sincerely.

At that moment, she became even more certain that she had not chosen the wrong person.

Compared to Ge Ziling, Nianhua was undoubtedly much calmer. He had witnessed Jiang Chen's abilities in the secret realm and never thought that the Tower of Inquiry could stop Jiang Chen. However, Jiang Chen's breakthrough speed was still much faster than he had expected.

"Junior Brother Jiang Chen broke through the cultivation in just one hour."

After a quick calculation, Nianhua's mind stirred.

Upon hearing Nianhua's words, Ge Ziling's expression changed slightly, because so far, the record for breaking through the Dao Inquiry Tower was one hour and one quarter.

The creator of this record is Gu Lingxiao, the current first true disciple of the Impermanence Sect.

While the time it takes to clear a level doesn't necessarily represent true strength, it is still a useful reference point. Jiang Chen's ability to surpass Gu Lingxiao in this aspect is already quite remarkable.

While everyone was discussing this, Jiang Chen stood before the gate of light and bowed to the distant sky.

"This disciple has broken through the Dao Inquiry Tower today and wishes to attempt to become a true disciple. Please grant me permission."

With his hands clasped together, Jiang Chen's clear voice soared to the heavens.

Upon hearing this, a gaze descended from the heavens.

"allow."

A majestic and solemn voice resounded through the sky, and a beam of light descended from the heavens, transforming into a blank jade tablet that fell into Jiang Chen's hand.

This is the token Jiang Chen used to apply for the True Disciple Trial. If Jiang Chen can pass the True Disciple Trial and successfully leave his name on it, then this jade token will also become a symbol of Jiang Chen's True Disciple status.

"This disciple thanks the sect leader."

Having obtained the jade pendant, Jiang Chen bowed again, but this time there was no response.

“Xuan Jiaozi rose from humble beginnings and suffered a lot of scorn, so he naturally has a sense of pride.”

"I wonder what he would think if he found out that I had broken through before him and all the limelight had been stolen from him when he finally broke through."

"If his mind is breached as a result, then that is my opportunity."

With a thought in mind, Jiang Chen glanced at the Dao Inquiry Tower out of the corner of his eye before his figure drifted away.

Although he left, the strange phenomena caused by him did not disappear. Through the path of light, people could vaguely see a figure.

As Jiang Chen left, some people's eyes flickered, and they followed closely behind, intending to make contact with him.

Meanwhile, with the emergence of a prodigy like Jiang Chen, Xuan Jiaozi, who was originally the protagonist, was forgotten.

As time goes by, more and more people choose to leave, wanting to share their day's experiences with others.

In the end, only Xuan Jiaozi's loyal followers and a few very patient disciples remained.

"I hope Senior Brother Xuan Jiaozi can successfully break through the barrier."

With a sigh, an inner disciple looked on with a complicated expression.

He placed his bet on the Xuanjiaozi early on and was initially quite pleased with himself, but now he feels rather uncomfortable.

Although there are still two vacant positions for true disciples in the Wuchang Sect, the true disciple trial is extraordinary, testing the organizational ability of prospective true disciples. The possibility of both disciples successfully advancing at the same time is extremely low.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the others who supported Xuan Jiaozi also turned sour.
