Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 710 - 397: Jiang Shu, I’ve Been Waiting for You for So Long!

The difficulty of the Genius Trial Tower, being a Tenth Rank Expert, is completely clear to him.

It can be said that even them, when they were at the Ninth Rank, could only reach the Sixth Floor at most.

To defeat eight different types of Ninth Rank Peak Star Beasts and ascend to the Seventh Floor, this kind of difficulty is comparable to fighting ten in the same realm.

However, even such geniuses, in the Eternal Tower within the Inner Ring of the Star Ruins Realm, might only be able to reach the Third Floor, with a time distortion of eight to one.

"I hope our Business Association's efforts weren't in vain this time. If one of these geniuses can reach the Eleventh Rank within a hundred years, it will be worth our while to put aside cultivation and keep a close watch day and night."

A Tenth Rank Expert couldn't help but express his feelings.

Compared to the vast cosmic space, the Star Ruins Realm is truly a place where strong powerhouses gather, while weaker forces can only exist on the outer edges.

Like the Black Abyss Alliance, Tuoba City, and Xingyu City, they can only surround the Black Iron Desert and cannot venture deeper to occupy better secret lands.

This is because there is and only will be one Eleventh Rank Venerable.

Although their Jiuyu Commerce Alliance has nine, in the Star Ruins Realm, new powerhouses can emerge at any time. Some forces that cannot survive in the inner realm are sometimes forced to return to the outer realm for a new round of struggle.

One must always maintain a sense of vigilance.

Not to mention, like the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance, ruling the outer realm of the Star Ruins Realm for such a long time, how could they not think about moving from the outer to the inner realm?

Nine Eleventh Rank Venerables are powerful in the outer realm, but in the inner realm, they are merely ordinary, or even leaning towards weak.

To enter, more powerhouses are needed!

The appearance of the Genius Trial Tower is the first hundred-year plan of the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance to cultivate the Ninth Rank geniuses into Eleventh Rank Venerables.

Saying it's a hundred year plan, but once this genius can remain stable at the Third Floor in the Eternal Tower.

The time flow of eight to one is equivalent to eight hundred years inside.

If they can further progress and stabilize at the Fourth Floor within eight hundred years, there's a chance to gain a time flow of sixteen to one.

A thousand years' time, from Ninth Rank to Eleventh Rank, for someone who is not a true genius, it's almost impossible.

"A thousand-year cultivation... Alas, even for us, how many can guarantee a thousand years' time to break from Tenth to Eleventh Rank? This leap is a thorough understanding of the Space Origin, congealing an internal minor world, from field creation to minor world creation. It appears just a step away, but in reality, it differs by countless light-years."

"Speaking of realm differences, I recently got news that within the Black Iron Desert, a world should have emerged, once created by the Void Venerable. Yet it seems there's no inheritance within this world. Those currently showing promise in the Third Floor—Yu Heng, Tang Yuan, Zhong Jinghuan, Qian Yuxue, Lu Ziyi, Jiang Shu—have all explored for inheritance in that world."

"Void Venerable? If I recall correctly, this Forget Realm Venerable is a powerhouse in the inner realm, and within the Eleventh Rank, they are top-tier. Such inheritance is not easy to attain. Perhaps this world was just whimsically created by them."

"True, the few Ninth Rank cultivators that came from the Black Iron Desert are quite fortunate. Last time, none emerged victorious from inheritance searching. We'll see how they perform in our Business Association's Genius Trial Tower this time. I have high hopes for Yu Heng, voting for him, gambling on the Ten Thousand Flames Sun and Moon Wine I previously obtained."

"Bringing out the family's rare possessions, then I'll bet on Jiang Shu. Although the other few have decent strength, they're slightly less compared to Yu Heng. Zhong Jinghuan is ruthless but lacks talent, while Qian Yuxue overthinks and is timid, missing several opportunities to act. Otherwise, she and Lu Ziyi jointly could achieve better results. Their current strength might be higher. Jiang Shu's downside is quite evident—being too new to the Star Ruins Realm, never joining a major force, practicing Spiritual Path cultivation techniques and secret techniques far inferior to other geniuses."

"But he likely received a different inheritance, having unique fortunes, cultivated a system beyond the Spiritual Path. This system includes several slaughter skills that are quite unusual. Evidently, attaining mastery in these skills may not impact within the Eleventh Rank, but can harm us considerably. Judging from his ten battles, whether in ruthlessness, talent, or thoughtfulness, he exceeds the others slightly. The shortcoming is merely a lack of foundation, but as long as he remains mindful during cultivation in this Third Floor, he might catch up later."

"Lack of foundation is the biggest issue. This current Genius Trial Tower lasts only ten years, over four years have passed, with five years remaining for him to tackle the tower challenges. He must spend time in each floor, staying longer in the Third Floor, seemingly offering a direct leap to higher floors. However, it equally reduces his cultivation time in the Fourth and Fifth Floors. The Origin Laws of the Fourth and Fifth Floors are far more abundant than the Third, and the cultivation environments significantly differ. From my view, he probably has less than two years left to remain in this Third Floor. My bet, Yu Heng, has recently undergone a major battle, acquired many treasures. Based on closing in on retreat, his cultivation will advance more, have a deeper understanding of some Original Laws, capable of advancing to the Fourth Floor. Quite possibly, he could leap straight to the Sixth Floor."
