Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 755 - 419: Clearing the Eternal Tower, Layer 1!

"Lord Jiang, you're finally out. Several other lords have already reached the third floor."

"I plan to try as well later, aiming to pass the second floor on my first attempt."

Yuan Tai laughed, indifferent to his injuries. The lords he spoke of were naturally the supreme geniuses other than Jiang Shu.

These supreme geniuses were defeated on the fourth floor; they returned to the base to recuperate, waiting to make another attempt later.

"It seems you've made significant progress, so there shouldn't be any issues. After passing the second floor, you don't need to rush into the third. Spend more time immersed on the second floor, where the time ratio is four to one. Cultivating for one day equates to four days outside, enough for you to improve yourself."

Jiang Shu immediately noticed the changes in Yuan Tai and offered his advice with a smile.

As they were conversing, other geniuses who had noticed them also started exchanging thoughts.

"Is that Jiang Shu, the supreme genius from Jiuyu Commerce Alliance? Among the twenty-seven geniuses brought by the alliance this time, only five are supreme geniuses; the other four failed on the fourth floor. I wonder how far Jiang Shu can go. Hopefully, he won't fail even the third floor, which would be awkward."

An inner circle genius transmitted his thoughts.

At the Eternal Tower base, most geniuses cultivate within the tower. However, cultivation is mundane; especially since time flows differently there. Upon reaching the third floor, the time ratio becomes eight to one.

Those who enter are inner circle geniuses. After years of cultivation, they often gain insight, naturally stepping out to duel geniuses from other forces and validate their learning.

They learned that a major external force, Jiuyu Commerce Alliance, recently sent their geniuses into the tower's inner circle.

Naturally, they were curious about the quality of this batch of geniuses.

From what they can see now, the geniuses from Jiuyu Commerce Alliance indeed have some skill. Four supreme geniuses swiftly reached the third floor, indicating a large probability of grinding through to the fourth.

"I saw from the trading building that Jiang Shu wasn't raised by Jiuyu Commerce Alliance. He joined later through the Genius Trial Tower, barely reaching the threshold of a supreme genius. So maybe he really won't pass the third floor on his first try."

A genius replied, with a look ready to enjoy the show. Although originating from the inner circle, not all inner circle geniuses can reach the fourth floor; many are stuck on the third.

Hence, some naturally hope the external geniuses achieve the same results as them.

"Let's wait and see. That big guy beside him seems ready to enter the Eternal Tower too. But that big guy, at the Ninth Rank, could only reach the third floor at most, not worth mentioning. Only cultivating the physical body, at the Tenth Rank, he would be the weakest in battle."

Yuan Tai, always sparring in the ring, naturally caught some keen eyes. Through these duels, they knew his level.

Within Jiuyu Commerce Alliance, Yuan Tai is a super genius, but amid the inner circle geniuses, he becomes ordinary, even inferior to them. After all, they have been cultivating on the third floor for a long time, potentially finding ways to advance to the Tenth Rank or reach the fourth floor.

Each good-natured gaze fell on Jiang Shu, who couldn't care less.

His entry into the inner ring of Star Ruins Realm wasn't to establish relationships with these inner forces' geniuses.

His sole focus was to endlessly cultivate within the Eternal Tower, to shorten his cultivation time, and strengthen himself as swiftly as possible, thereby seizing resources from the Two Realms.

To quickly push his realm to Chaos Hole Realm and Forget Realm.

Unlike the geniuses who occasionally step out, once inside, Jiang Shu might cultivate there for a long time.

Should fatigue set in, or he finds himself stuck at a bottleneck, he could return to Cang Mang Domain.

Jiuyu Commerce Alliance, not being an inner circle force, obtained the opportunity for geniuses to enter the Eternal Tower through resource exchanges.

But this duration is limited to a hundred years only.

Without much hesitation, Jiang Shu stepped forward, entering the entrance earlier than Yuan Tai.

Feeling a spatial shift, he seemed to enter a galaxy, an ancient boundless expanse, where various stars flickered in the distance.

The starlight intertwined, forming a clone identical to him before his eyes.

He could clearly see the constructs within the clone's body, every muscle, sinew, and bone.

"The Eternal Tower is indeed incredibly mystical. The clone appears to lack intelligence, yet it mirrors everything else about me. No wonder only geniuses can pass even the first floor."

"Battling oneself? For geniuses, it allows continuous improvement, finding weaknesses, rapidly enhancing through combat. But ordinary cultivators hardly have the time to spend on the first floor."

"Rather than expending vast resources to secure a spot in the tower, one could use such resources for cultivation, potentially progressing further."

Jiang Shu murmured, realizing more of the tower's wonders.

He opted not to attack immediately, instead observing the clarity increasing in the clone's visage.

The clone's brilliance first radiated to the extreme, then it subdued, as if the entire figure was not composed of energy but a real human.

Hovering in the air, the clone struck first, delivering a punch.

This punch, Qi Swallowing Vientiane!

This was Jiang Shu's first time seeing someone use the Qi Swallowing Vientiane Fist on him, within which he saw interwoven Great Dao Embryos.

There was the Devouring Dao Embryo, Blood Essence Dao Embryo, Five Elements Dao Embryo, Power Dao Embryo...

It felt like he was battling his alternate self.

He stepped forth, space folded, flashing behind the clone, but immediately, the figure shifted too.

What he knew, the figure knew too!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Under the starry sky, the two figures clashed repeatedly; Jiang Shu sensed the clone's Primordial Power and spiritual power were identical to his, his expenditure matched the clone's, his recovery equated the clone's.

In terms of wisdom, while the clone didn't comprehend cultivation or advancement, it clearly possessed combat instincts identical to his own.

Through these instincts, it could battle him endlessly without defeat.

"Astonishing, indeed, everything external is ineffective within the Eternal Tower."

During the clash, Jiang Shu casually wielded a treasure; upon the explosion of its Treasure Pattern, an identical treasure with matching Treasure Pattern appeared before the clone.

He consumed an elixir to recover Primordial Power.

The clone too consumed an elixir to restore Primordial Power.

Given this situation, defeating the clone requires finding one's own weaknesses and overcoming oneself.

Alternatively, through battle, one could surpass their former self.

The battle scene shifted promptly.

Beneath the vast cosmos, two figures interwove within, waves of Primordial Power and spiritual power surged, continuously swelling.

Jiang Shu engaged fiercely, discovering new variations amidst his battle with the clone, through the Divine Skills deployed, and his rusty areas.

Subsequently, various Great Dao Embryos coalesced on his fist, the fist light dazzling.

One particular Great Dao Embryo became increasingly distinct.

Entirely differing from the clone.

The Qi Swallowing Vientiane Fist unleashed by both differed at this moment.

The clone's fist was forcefully repelled by Jiang Shu, immense power permeating its fist, traversing through every muscle, sinew, and bone.

The entire body shattered like a mirror under immense impact, generating inch-wide cracks!
