Chapter 410: Rapid Progress (Part 2)

In the future that Wu Hao surveyed, he discovered that there were five more Disciples within the Xuanlei Domain; three of them were not yet born, and two were currently one year away from adulthood.

"Fine, I will go find those two Disciples in a year. As for the other three, when the time is right, I'll have Tian Hao accept them as Disciples on my behalf."

Wu Hao shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He turned to look at the Spirit Pool Room where Zhang Tianhao was. He saw that Zhang Tianhao was Cultivating frantically as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and his Breakthrough speed was gradually increasing, reaching nearly one revolution per day.

After seven days, he reached the Peak of the Ninth Revolution.

During these seven days, Zhang Tianhao displayed unimaginable perseverance and endured immense pain. Even Wu Hao was quite satisfied; only such a talent was worthy of being his Disciple.

After reaching the Peak of the Ninth Revolution of Qi Refining, the aura of Zhang Tianhao's entire being changed. It became deep and restrained, like a precious sword hidden in its scabbard; it remains silent when not in use, but shocks the world once drawn.

"Master!"

Seeing Wu Hao appear, Zhang Tianhao hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed.

Wu Hao waved his hand and said with a serious expression.

"Since you have broken through to the Peak of the Ninth Revolution of Qi Refining, you should next attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. However, before that, I suggest you go to the Martial Training Pagoda to increase your combat experience."

"Martial Training Pagoda?"

Zhang Tianhao asked with a puzzled look. It wasn't his fault; after all, Wu Hao had given him the requirement to break through to the Golden Core Stage within a month. Consequently, Zhang Tianhao had spent all his days soaked in the Spirit Pool Room and naturally knew nothing of other places within the Celestial Emperor Sect.

Seeing Zhang Tianhao's confusion, Wu Hao simply shifted his intent, and in the next second, he brought Zhang Tianhao before a giant tower.

The giant tower before them pierced deep into the clouds. Standing before it, Zhang Tianhao felt as small as a speck of dust. But then, remembering something, he asked with some doubt.

"Master, is this the Martial Training Pagoda? But why is it that something so tall cannot be seen at all from outside the Sect?"

Zhang Tianhao was now at the Peak of the Ninth Revolution of Qi Refining, and his strength was enough to rival an ordinary Foundation Establishment Peak, yet he still couldn't perceive how high the Martial Training Pagoda actually was. Under normal circumstances, he should have been able to see it from outside the Sect earlier.

Hearing this, Wu Hao waved his hand and explained.

"Indeed, this is the Martial Training Pagoda. Inside, there are a total of ninety-nine floors, and each floor is a world. Within those worlds, there exists a strongest being. Only by defeating the strongest can you enter the next floor. I have left treasures on every floor; you can try to find them."

"Furthermore, as for why it cannot be seen, it is because I have used certain means. Only those who have entered the Sect can see the Martial Training Pagoda. This is to avoid drawing unwanted attention."

After hearing his Master's explanation, Zhang Tianhao came to a sudden realization. So that was it; everything was a matter of fate.

But then another thought occurred to him, and his heart was incredibly shocked by his Master's power.

To be able to create ninety-nine worlds within the Martial Training Pagoda, with each world being stronger than the last… after all, Master said there were ninety-nine worlds, and one could only enter the next world after defeating the strongest of the current one.

Zhang Tianhao couldn't even imagine what level the strongest of the final ninety-ninth world reached, but he was certain it was definitely not something his current self could covet.

"Additionally, the flow of time inside the Martial Training Pagoda is different from the outside world. One hour outside is one day inside."

Wu Hao continued. After all, inside the Martial Training Pagoda were ninety-nine real worlds, and the living beings within were real entities created by Wu Hao. Thus, to save some energy, Wu Hao had set the time ratio to one hour outside for every day inside.

Hearing this, Zhang Tianhao nodded heavily. He then set off toward the Martial Training Pagoda, and upon reaching the main gates, he reached out and slowly pushed them open.

The second the doors were pushed open, Zhang Tianhao was directly sucked inside.

Seeing Zhang Tianhao enter, Wu Hao suddenly felt a bit of anticipation. He wondered how many floors Zhang Tianhao would be able to clear on his first attempt.

"Based on Zhang Tianhao's current strength, he can probably reach the sixth floor. Beyond the sixth floor should be impossible."

Wu Hao thought to himself. The strongest of each floor would be more powerful than the previous one. The strongest of the sixth floor was a Golden Core Early Stage Sword Cultivator; with Zhang Tianhao's strength, he shouldn't be able to defeat that opponent.

The strongest of each floor was placed somewhere in the form of a Puppet by Wu Hao. The Puppet would only activate when approached. After killing the Puppet, one could obtain a portion of the Origin power left by Wu Hao.

Of course, it wasn't Wu Hao's own Origin power, but the Origin of a God-Lord Peak expert that Wu Hao had left behind.

The expert of the ninety-ninth floor was a Divine Venerable Late Stage existence. If Zhang Tianhao ever fought his way to the ninety-ninth floor and cleared it, he would obtain the complete Divine Venerable Origin.

However, it was estimated that by then, Zhang Tianhao wouldn't even need a Divine Venerable Origin. After all, only a Divine Venerable can kill a Divine Venerable, and only a God Emperor can kill a God Emperor; it was the same logic.

"I wonder how Qiaoran is doing now. However, the measures I left on her haven't been activated, so she should be fine."

Wu Hao looked up toward the direction of the God Realm, wondering how Qiaoran was doing within it.

Meanwhile, in the God Realm, Su Qiaoran was surrounded by three God Realm Peak experts, whose eyes were filled with playful mockery as they looked at her.

"Fairy, you should just submit to us. The three of us are all at the God Realm Peak; you are no match for us. Submit to us, and perhaps we'll even let you live."

The three God Realm Peak experts surrounded Su Qiaoran, and the one leading them grinned maliciously.

Hearing this, the other two God Realm Peak experts couldn't help but laugh loudly. They hadn't expected to encounter such a beautiful goddess within the God Realm. Most importantly, they hadn't seen Su Qiaoran's figure outside before.

After all, how could a goddess as beautiful as Su Qiaoran be unknown? Thus, there were only two possibilities: either Su Qiaoran had entered before everyone else—though this possibility was slim, as they had arrived the moment the God Realm opened—

Then only one possibility remained: Su Qiaoran was a native of the God Realm. This meant that even if they forced themselves upon her, they wouldn't face any consequences.

Hearing the words of the three God Realm Peak experts, Su Qiaoran's expression remained calm, but her heart was icy cold. The three men before her had already found a path to their own deaths by daring to speak such words to her.

Although Su Qiaoran was only at the God Realm Early Stage, she had many tricks up her sleeve. After all, as Wu Hao's Dao Companion, how could Wu Hao not prioritize her safety? He had basically given her a copy of almost everything he could get his hands on.

It was no exaggeration to say that let alone three God Realm Peaks, even three God King Peaks might not necessarily defeat Su Qiaoran—provided she used her trump cards, of course.

Otherwise, with her own strength, she was probably only a match for a God Realm Middle Stage opponent.

The three God Realm Peak experts before her had no idea what kind of terrifying monster they had provoked; they were still fantasizing about how they would enjoy Su Qiaoran's body later.
