Toppling the tower

As long as there was someone in the nine-storey tower, the corresponding floor would light up.
Previously, the seventh level had lit up for quite a while, and now the eighth level had finally lit up, which meant that the person inside had passed through the seventh level.
“As expected of Liu Zhenglong.”
“I wonder if he can take another step further.”
“If he can reach the ninth level, or even pass through in fact, then his aptitude would be on the level of Black Iron.”
“Although Black Iron-level qualifications does not qualify him to join a Holy Land, it’s still not difficult to enter the Core Formation Tier or even the True Self Tier-level sect.”
“This is a chance for a carp to leap over the Dragon’s Gate.©”
“I’m really envious.”
Everyone was discussing spiritedly, and many people did not hide their jealousy.
Ling Han was surprised. What was there to be envious about joining a True Self Tier or Core Formation Tier-level sect?
Oh, he soon understood. This was not the Celestial Sea Planet. The environment of cultivation here was already incredibly mature and stable, and there were nine levels in the Celestial Path. Every level was clearly defined, with strict hierarchy.
To a True Self Tier cultivator, a Core Formation Tier cultivator was nothing but trash.
Thus, for a Foundation Building Tier cultivator, being able to join a Core Formation Tier-level sect was naturally a great fortune. As long as they felt that their abilities had improved, everyone would seek out a nine-storey tower to undergo a trial.
However, if one failed the challenge after entering into the nine-storey tower, they would not be able to issue another challenge within half a year’s time. It would not cause others to become too engrossed in the matter of challenges. However, not only did this Liu Zhenglong fail to pass through the ninth level, he was not even qualified to set foot on the ninth level. Very soon, the light of the eighth level dimmed, and the doors at the bottom of the tower opened, and a disheveled man walked out.
“Unfortunately, Liu Zhenglonghas still failed.”
“Sigh, it’s already so difficult to reach Black Iron aptitude. I really can’t imagine how powerful those one-star geniuses are.”
“Haha, if you are a one-star genius, you would be qualified to join the Holy Land.”
“Actually, if you’re really a one-star genius, going to a small sect is actually better. You can get more attention. There’s a saying that it’s better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox.”
“No, no, no. Even if he was an ordinary disciple in a Holy Land, he would still have more confidence than the Dao Child of a small sect.”
Everyone began talking again, each having their own opinions.
That was only a one-star genius; was it really that difficult?
Ling Han thought again. In the past, in the Imperial Capital, only the Eldest Imperial Prince and Hong Tianbu could be considered as star-level prodigies. Even Princess Bixiao had only become a one-star genius after Brother Monkey unlocked the power of her bloodline.
With such a comparison, one-star geniuses were indeed rare. It was no wonder that they could be directly taken as disciples by the Holy Lands.
At first, he had thought that the conditions set by the Holy Land of Metal Element were too low, that as long as it was a one-star genius, they would be able to go to the Holy Land. Now that he thought about it, the reason why there had been so many people at that time was completely because too many extraterrestrial visitors had come. They were basically the strongest heirs and descendants of the Sect Master-level forces, so they were naturally awesome. Though Liu Zhenglong had failed to pass the test, he had still gained the support of the masses. Being able to ascend to the eighth level of the tower was already extraordinary, and he was worth befriending.
At this moment, no one dared to challenge the tower again. After all, there was no need for those who were weaker than Liu Zhenglong to join in on the excitement. They would definitely be kicked out of the tournament. Rather than not being able to challenge the tower for the next six months, it would be better to wait until they were stronger to come back.
There was no one else?
“You guys wait here,” Ling Han said to the seven babies. As long as the little guys grew up normally, they would be able to increase their cultivation level. As early as two months ago, when they were still in the galaxy, they had all stepped onto Celestial Path.
There was no test from the heaven’s calamity. It was as if they were Foundation Building Tier cultivators in the first place, and had just cultivated back to this level.
With the strength of the seven babies, without Ling Han’s protection, they were completely fine. Instead, Ling Han was worried that they would cripple someone.
“Yes, Father,” the seven babies replied in their childish voices. Because they had advanced into Celestial Path, even Sixth Baby could control whether she revealed herself or not. Finally, she no longer had to be invisible, and was always overlooked.
Ling Han set off. He had just taken a few steps, when xiu, a figure flew down from the skies and landed at the entrance of the tower.
“Flying on a Tool!” Everyone exclaimed in shock.
To fly on the Black Moon Planet, only one out of 10 Foundation Building Tier cultivators could do it. There was basically no one here that could do it, so they were naturally stunned.
That was a young man that looked to be only twenty-four or twenty-five years old, at most. He had just put away a Divine Sword, and there was a haughty expression on his face as he swept an eye over everyone, his expression filled with disdain.
“Hiss, that’s Han Qian!”
“What, Zifang Sect’s Han Qian?”
“He has always been known as a prodigy. I didn’t expect that when he had just stepped into the Foundation Building Tier, he would actually be able to fly on a tool.”
Someone recognized this person, and after he spoke up, it instantly drew a heated discussion from the masses.
Ling Han frowned upon hearing this. He didn’t care who this person was, but he definitely couldn’t jump into his queue.
“Line up at the back!” he said in displeasure.
Han Qian was taken aback. He had just advanced into Celestial Path not too long ago, and had just learnt how to fly on a Tool, so he was very conceited. He thought that all the prodigies in the world were only so, and his self-confidence had soared to the extreme.
But now, someone actually dared to make him queue up at the back?
“Haha!” He sneered, “You really don’t know what you’re talking about! Firstly, there is absolutely no way that you can pass the test of the nine-storey tower, and secondly, what right do you have to command me?”
“Han Qian, you have gone too far.” A voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone turned to look at the person who had spoken. What was going on today? First, there was Ling Han, and now there was this person. They actually dared to challenge Han Qian?
That was a middle-aged man. He was tall and slender, and there was a large bow on his back.
“Huntsman Hu An!” someone exclaimed in shock.
When he heard this name, even Han Qian looked wary.
Hu An was a veteran Foundation Building Tier cultivator, and it was said that he had already formed the foundation of Heavenly Dao, which was far more powerful than him.
“First come, first served. This is the most basic rule. Don’t you even understand this?” Hu An asked calmly.
“Brother Hu is right.” Han Qian clenched his fists, forcefully suppressing his fury.
The cultivation world was very realistic. Whoever was stronger would have the right to speak.
He obediently retreated, and did not try to be brave.
Ling Han nodded at Hu An. In this day and age, it was already very rare to see anyone speaking up for justice. Though he could kill this Han Qian with a single punch, seeing someone step out to speak up for justice still made his heart
He strode into the tower, and the doors immediately closed.
This was a sealed off space, but it wasn’t dark. There was an unknown light source glowing, illuminating the inside.
The space was not small, and was circular in shape. Its radius was about nine meters, and its height was only about three meters. The walls around it seemed to be forged from black iron, exuding the cold light of metal.
Right in the middle of this iron room, there was a human figure that was forged from black iron, and was only five feet tall.
Weng! The black figure’s eyes suddenly lit up, and a powerful aura instantly emanated from its body.
Yi, this was actually a Foundation Building Tier metal figure. It looked a bit like the war colossus, but the war colossus was much more powerful than it.
Ling Han casually snapped his fingers. Pa! The metallic figure was sent flying, crashing into the wall and sliding down.
