“Right now in the fifth level, there’s only Liu Hong the four of them. They stayed in the fourth level for quite a few days. Ye Yuan he . . . actually passed through instantly!”
Ye Yuan’s name only stopped in the fourth level for a very short time before directly showing up in the fifth level. This gave everyone a huge shock.
About Ye Yuan being able to clear the fourth level, these people already did not have objections long ago. But nobody could have expected that Ye Yuan’s clearing speed would actually be so swift.
“What’s this boy . . . playing at again?” Ren Xingchun said somewhat perplexedly.
“Huhu, if my conjectures are right, Ye Yuan might have reaped considerable gains in the inheritance space, and his strength had a very great improvement. Hence, his clearing speed is this quick,” Qi Hai said.
“I think so too. But doesn’t this boy want to clear the round perfectly anymore?” Ren Xingchun said.
“How can Perfect Completion be that easy? After the fourth level, the difficulty will get increasingly greater. Wanting to clear the round perfectly is practically impossible. Looking from Ye Yuan’s performance previously, him clearing perfectly in the first three levels was probably very strenuous as well. Or else, he would not have passed through right on the time limit each time either. Now, he definitely knows that he’s incapable of clearing perfectly. Hence, that’s why he would choose to charge through directly,” Qi Hai said.
Ren Xingchun nodded his head and rather approved of this notion as well.
It was true that Ye Yuan was impressive. But to let him perfectly cleared another three rounds again, that was virtually something impossible.
This fourth round already had close to a hundred years since someone passed it. The level of difficulty could be imagined.
Even if Ye Yuan’s strength stood head and shoulders above others, if he wanted to clear the rounds perfectly again like before, the likelihood was not big.
And truthfully, wanting to clear Kuai Liang this round was not something that easy.
If Ye Yuan did not glean tremendous harvests in the first three levels and in the inheritance space, it was also impossible for him to want to pass through this round so effortlessly.
Perhaps, he would have to employ the Myriad Rain Sword Blades.
But with Ye Yuan’s present control over the Myriad Rain Sword Blades, unless he made use of the nameless essence energy, otherwise, Kuai Liang would not give him the time to execute the skill.
. . . . . .
In the fifth level, light flashed at the entrance area. Ye Yuan’s silhouette appeared.
Not far away, three people were currently looking at the Liu Hong within the array formation with ghostly pale expressions.
Within the array formation, Liu Hong was teetering on his feet. How was there still any hint of the demeanor of an expert?
“He’s about to die,” Ye Yuan judged the outcome indifferently.
Qin Yan trio watched too nervously, so they did not notice Ye Yuan’s appearance at all.
With Ye Yuan talking, the three of them were startled awake abruptly.
Turning around to look, Guo Taoqun said in astonishment, “Ye Yuan! You actually really made it here!”
The three of them were still unaware of the matter of Ye Yuan clearing the rounds perfectly. Although they heard the mysterious person said that Ye Yuan was different from them, but specifically in what way, they did not know.
Seeing Ye Yuan at this time, Guo Taoqun blurted it out right away.
Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, “You guys all made it over. Can’t I make it through?”
Guo Taoqun was stunned, then he said with a forced smile, “Makes sense. It’s just, why were you so slow? With your strength, you should have entered even earlier than us!”
Ye Yuan just smiled and did not answer, but looked at Liu Hong and said rather surprisedly, “Who is this person? To actually be able to make it here with you all?”
Qin Yan said with a disdainful look, “He’s called Liu Hong. A very cocky fellow! He kept on posturing in front of us and actually even wanted to clear the fifth level. You look . . . He can’t hold on anymore, right?”
Even though Qin Yan was very displeased with this Liu Hong, his strength was not the ordinary kind of strong!
During the fourth level, Liu Hong finally revealed his true strength, and he was again the first one to charge into the fifth level!
And Liu Hong’s battle finally made Qin Yan trio realize that this boy’s strength was indeed above theirs!
Now, Liu Hong had already fought for a day and night inside this array formation!
To be able to persevere in the fifth level until now, it could be seen that this Liu Hong’s strength was rather uncommon.
“En? How many days has it just been? You’re actually already Fourth Level Sea Transformation, almost Fifth Level Sea Transformation?” Qin Yan said in amazement.
Although just a few days had passed in reality, Ye Yuan already stayed for 45 days inside the inheritance space.
Experiencing this period of accumulation, Ye Yuan was only a step away from the Fifth Level Sea Transformation.
“Huhu, I had some gains in the first few levels, that’s how I was lucky to break through. That Liu Hong almost can’t hold on anymore. At most five moves, he’s dead for sure,” Ye Yuan said indifferently.
The three people being led by Ye Yuan like this, unconsciously looked towards Liu Hong.
Once five moves passed, Liu Hong was indeed stabbed by a sword with a moment of carelessness.
Following that, he was very quickly killed by a flurry of swords.
Afterward, Liu Hong’s body disappeared just like this and was transported out of the Vast Heaven Pagoda.
“Alright. You guys came first. I won’t snatch with you guys. You all discuss for a bit who goes first then,” Ye Yuan said faintly.
Qin Yan and Guo Taoqun exchanged glances, both having some fear.
These people were too strong. They made no pretense to be stronger than Liu Hong and simply could not make it through at all.
Including Yin Yanhua, they all did not move after hearing Ye Yuan’s words.
Ye Yuan gave them a glance and said smilingly, “Since you all are declining so modestly, then I won’t be courteous.”
Finished talking, Ye Yuan leaped and directly stepped into the array formation.
Chapter 567 - Really Different!

Liu Hong was transported out just like this. But he did not feel dejected at all.
During the Vast Heaven Pagoda trip this time, he felt that he perfectly accomplished the objectives he targeted and would definitely make the Three sects gave him a sidelong glance.
He would surely receive the Three Sects’ attention this time and become an immensely popular figure!
Yet, when he arrived at the Vast Heaven Pagoda’s main entrance, he discovered that there was not a single person paying attention to him.
Everyone was staring at the light screen, as if they could make out what was happening inside from those scanty few remaining names on it.
Weird. I already came out. What are they still looking at? No matter how impressive those Three Sects’ head disciples are, they can’t possibly last longer than me in the fifth level either! Liu Hong thought perplexedly to himself.
Liu Hong was very curious. Him being transported out, everyone should already be aware of it. But why was there not a single person paying attention to him?
According to what he had in mind previously, he should already be encircled by the various major sects now, and he would be warmly invited to join the Endless Alliance by Ning Yixian they all.
But everything happening before his eyes was too different from what he predicted previously.
Not a single person seemed to pay attention to his appearance. Everyone’s attention was still on the Vast Heaven Pagoda Inheritance.
As for
what the mysterious person said before, Ye Yuan being different from them these words, Liu Hong had flung it to the back of his mind long ago.
He did not feel that there was anybody who could obtain even more dazzling results than him in the Vast Heaven Pagoda Inheritance this time!
His, Liu Hong’s, opponents, were only the Three Sects’ head disciples!
But what kind of situation was this right now?
Unable to hold back the puzzlement in his heart, Liu Hong grabbed an itinerant cultivator disciple who was kicked out by the Vast Heaven Pagoda long ago.
“This Vast Heaven Pagoda Inheritance is also about to end soon, right? What are they still looking at?” Liu Hong inquired.
That person turned back to take a look. Seeing that it was Liu Hong, he was a little agitated.
The Vast Heaven Pagoda Inheritance this time, Liu Hong had indeed achieved very dazzling results. And his itinerant cultivator identity also made him be idolized by many itinerant cultivators.
“Turns out it’s Senior Apprentice Brother Liu. You’re already out! Senior Apprentice Brother Liu shocked everyone with one move! Truly the role model of my generation’s itinerant cultivators!”
Being buttered up by this person, Liu Hong instantly found a sense of existence. Holding back the wild elation in his heart, he feigned indifference and said, “Not at all, not at all. We all came from itinerant cultivators background and should naturally advance and withdraw together.”
That person had a pleasantly surprised look when he heard. Even though he was selected to enter this Vast Heaven Pagoda Inheritance too, compared to Liu Hong, it was undoubtedly one in the heaven, the other on the ground. To be able to establish such a relationship, it was very useful to him in the future as well.
After all, everybody was about to all join the Endless Alliance. With Liu Hong’s strength, he was bound to be able to receive an important post.
“Senior Apprentice Brother Liu is indeed modest, with the demeanor of a major sect’s disciple! After the Vast Heaven Pagoda Inheritance this time, Senior Apprentice Brother Liu is most likely the younger generation’s number two person already. Truly remarkable!” That itinerant cultivator sighed with admiration.
These words of his were originally flattery, but to Liu Hong, it sounded very grating on the ears.
He was clearly the number one person, alright? Why was he the number two person?
Could it be that among those three people, there was still somebody who could break through the fifth level?
“Oh, right, why is everybody still staring at the Vast Heaven Pagoda? If barring no accidents, the inheritance this time should be ending latest by tomorrow, right? Everybody should be preparing to leave,” said Liu Hong, pressed down the unhappiness within.
“Uh, ending? It’s still early, right? You look at that light screen. On it has a scalding gold name! That person is incredible! Those old ancestors all don’t dare to blink their eyes right now, fearful of missing this historical moment!” The person clicked his tongue in admiration.
Liu Hong followed the direction he pointed at and looked over. Indeed, he saw that there was a gilded name in the fifth level. It was precisely Ye Yuan.
This astonishment was not small. Apart from himself and the Three Sects’ head disciples, there was actually still somebody who made it into the fifth level?
How was this possible?
He was trapped inside the Illusionary Spirits Killing Array previously and did not notice that Ye Yuan had already entered the fifth level at all.
“What special meaning does this gilded name have?” Liu Hong frowned and asked.
“It naturally has special meaning! That gilded name represents perfectly completing the first three levels! Oh, Perfect Completion means killing all of the demonic beasts in the first three levels!”
That person was scared that Liu Hong did not know what Perfect Completion meant and even specially explained it to him.
“What? Killing all of them? How is that possible?” Liu Hong almost leaped up.
This shout of his immediately attracted many gazes to look at him.
Yet, not a single one of those old ancestors turn around; their gazes still staring fixedly at the light screen.
The itinerant cultivator saw Liu Hong’s eyeballs pop out and could not help saying with a smile, “Actually, when I heard those old ancestors say this, my reaction was the same as Senior Apprentice Brother Liu’s. But looking at it now, that Ye Yuan should have really done it. Because the time he stayed in the inheritance space was three times compared to you guys!”
Liu Hong drew a cold breath. This news was seriously too staggering to him.
All of a sudden, he recalled the words said by that mysterious person inside the inheritance space, and could not help quivering.
“He’s different from you guys!”
Turns out that he was really different!
Liu Hong did not know where this Ye Yuan popped out from, to actually crush him until he had not a single patch of skin unscathed!
His gaze was also glued tightly on that gilded name on the light screen and was speechless for a long time.
. . . . . .
“Hey, do you guys think that Ye Yuan can pass through this round or not?” Guo Taoqun asked the other two.
Yin Yanhua said icily, “I’ve never doubted Ye Yuan being able to clear the fifth round before!”
Qin Yan said, “Ye Yuan has clearly experienced some things that we don’t know about down below. Otherwise, how can his realm possibly rise so quickly? When he was at the First Level Sea Transformation, he already killed a Soul Sea Realm expert. Now that he broke through to the peak Fourth Level Sea Transformation, his strength is truly hard to gauge already.”
“En? That’s odd! Doesn’t these spirit bodies match according to the level of the martial artist that enters?” Guo Taoqun suddenly said.
The two people’s expression changed when they heard that and also discovered what was amiss.
Previously when these illusionary spirits killed Liu Hong, they were First Level Soul Sea boundary.
Now that Ye Yuan entered the array formation, they actually did not suppress their boundary, but maintained First Level Soul Sea Realm!
“Hiss . . . Could it be that these illusionary bodies want to battle with Ye Yuan with Soul Sea Realm strength? This . . . Isn’t this too much of a bully?” Qin Yan said in astoundment.
Yin Yanhua’s eyebrows knitted slightly and said, “Looks like . . . these spirit bodies’ judgment of Ye Yuan’s strength has already placed him in the same class as Soul Sea Realm!”
The three people drew a cold breath at the same time . . .
In this fifth level, these illusionary spirits’ concepts and martial techniques were much stronger compared to at the fourth level!
Under such circumstances, they were actually still going to use Soul Sea Realm strength to deal with Ye Yuan. This was simply . . . too much of a bully.
It was also to say that the difficulty of Ye Yuan passing this round was several times of theirs!
Could Ye Yuan really make it through this round?
“Young man, at the fourth level, our strength was only 30% of the same boundary. But now . . . we possess 70% of our original body’s strength! You have to be careful!” Kuai Liang said.
Chapter 568 - Meet Again in the Next Level
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The 70% strength that Kuai Liang talked about was naturally not referring to his cultivation, but the concept strength at the same realm.
Which was also to say that originally, Kuai Liang comprehended 100% of the concepts. But at the fourth level, he only used these concepts’ 30%.
Even 30% was stronger than the vast majority of the martial artists that came to challenge the rounds.
With 70% strength, even if it was just First Level Soul Sea, it was not what a martial artist like Liu Hong could resist. Let alone that there were still several martial artists at th
e same boundary adding on with an array formation.
Liu Hong and Qin Yan they all may well be facing numerous difficulties to want to pass through this fifth level.
“Senior doesn’t have to be courteous. Just bring it on!”
Ye Yuan fully released his aura. The surroundings faintly had a red glow revolving around, but condensed and did not dissipate. This was precisely the mark of the Scorching True Intent showing outside.
Seeing this scene, Kuai Liang’s expression was slightly apprehensive as he said, “Essence energy is converting to become Scorching True Intent. To actually be able to achieve condensing and not dissipating, looks like your control over essence energy has already reached an extremely profound boundary! Even my original body is incapable of achieving your level! Young man, you’ve really brought us too many surprises!”
Ye Yuan said smilingly, “Just displaying my slight skill before an expert. Senior’s strength should greatly surpass mine. If not for adhering to the rules, killing me is probably just a matter of a twinkle.”
Kuai Liang waved his hands and said, “That’s different. Me being stronger than you is just in terms of realm. Your concepts comprehension and control over essence energy are much stronger than mine! I truly dare not imagine that you’re only 17 years old!”
“Huhu, Senior is too kind. Ye Yuan is making a move!”
“Come on!”
Ye Yuan’s fist momentum erupted abruptly, his entire person entering a frenzied state. It could be said that each fist landed solidly on the flesh, suppressing the array formation formed by these illusionary spirits.
These illusionary spirits were all First Level Soul Sea boundary. Ye Yuan, a Fourth Level Sea Transformation, actually suppressed so many people!
Seeing this scene, the three people by the sides were dumbstruck.
They never would have thought that just around ten days or so of not meeting, Ye Yuan was actually formidable to such a level already!
“I originally thought that I had considerable gains myself in this Vast Heaven Pagoda and should have shrunk the distance between Ye Yuan by a little. Never expected that . . . the gap between us is becoming greater and greater!” Qin Yan said with a bitter smile.
