Trial Sword Tower and Zongji Jing are no different from before. The thirty-first level presents an opponent of comparable cultivation, with the same understanding of Intent Sword Aura. Each level adds one more opponent. At the Sixth level, there will be thirty opponents of identical strength. As long as one can pass through, they will receive Heritage.
Thus, entering the Trial Sword Tower does not depend on cultivation level; both Perfect Sect Level and Initial Stage of Sect Level can participate. The opponents are created based on one's own strength.
"It's quite strange. Since Xiao Cangjian has already passed the Trial Sword Tower, why hasn't he cleared the Sixth level? Given his strength, he should have a great chance if he fully unleashes it!" Ren Pingsheng, who entered the thirty-first level of the Trial Sword Tower, did not attack immediately but pondered this question.
He had just checked the Sword Sect Ranking, where Xiao Cangjian had only reached the fifty-fourth level. Not only had he not passed the Sixth level, but he was also some distance away from the fifty-sixth level, which ranked first in the Sword Sect Ranking. Could there be hidden difficulties in this Zongji Jing's Trial Sword Tower? He thought to himself.
"Forget it, let's just proceed. Any issues will reveal themselves in due time." With that, Ren Pingsheng set aside his doubts and stepped forward to engage in battle.
This opponent also possessed an Intermediate Sect Level cultivation, but such an opponent posed little challenge for him. Within minutes, he easily resolved the Battle and moved on to the next level.
The second layer, or thirty-second level, presented him with two opponents of equal cultivation. He continued to engage in battles, feeling that it was not much different from when he challenged the Trial Sword Tower at the Supreme Realm. The only difference was that both his opponents' and his own cultivation levels had changed.
Before long, Ren Pingsheng reached the fortieth level. Passing this layer would yield a Reward. At this moment, he was battling ten opponents. His seven Phantom Bodies flickered continuously, dodging the opponents' Sword Light, and occasionally striking down an opponent with a single blow.
After a while of maneuvering his seven Phantom Bodies, suddenly one trembled and vanished. The remaining six Phantom Bodies surged with enhanced energy.
"Ninefold Illusion Body has broken through? Hmm? Now it possesses one-third of my main body's strength. Not bad, very good!" With a movement, Ren Pingsheng flashed with his six remaining Phantom Bodies, and as the Sword Light flickered, one opponent after another fell beneath his sword.
"Passed the fortieth level; now it's time for the Reward. This time my Golden Realm should reach ninety percent." He murmured to himself. Not long ago at the Azure Dragon Hall, after defeating the Gold Spirit, his originally eighty percent Golden Realm had increased to eighty-five percent. He believed reaching ninety percent this time would not be difficult.
Closing his eyes, Ren Pingsheng felt that sense of Unity of Heaven and Man. Soon he entered a state of comprehension where the space around him was filled with swirling Sword Light, radiating sharpness.
As time passed slowly, the sharpness in space intensified, and the brilliance of the Sword Light became even more dazzling. Suddenly, all the Sword Light trembled, producing a soft chime in mid-air. Then, as the sharpness surged, it all merged into Ren Pingsheng, disappearing completely.
"Ninety percent; this is true mastery! The next step is perfection. Once I comprehend perfection, I can attempt to evolve my Profound Meaning. At that point, I will be closer to becoming a King-Level Expert. Perhaps then I might hear news about my Father." He opened his eyes and spoke softly, filled with hope.
He clearly remembered the letter left by his Father. It stated that once he became a King-Level Expert, he would receive news about him. However, becoming a King-Level Expert seemed distant; only now did he see some hope for that future not far away.
"King-Level Expert, it won't be long." With renewed determination, Ren Pingsheng entered the next layer and began a new challenge. Meanwhile, in the same space of the Trial Sword Tower, the laughter of the Demon Emperor echoed throughout.
"Kill... kill..." He laughed maniacally while battling, appearing somewhat crazed and bizarre. Perhaps he was too excited about regaining his body!
"En? How could this happen? The strength of the opponents on the fifty-first floor has suddenly increased so much?" In the Trial Sword Tower, on the fifty-first floor, Ren Pingsheng was immediately injured under the siege of twenty-one opponents, which startled him.
"Each of these opponents possesses at least nine-tenths of my full strength. They are significantly stronger than those from the Supreme Realm before. Is this why the Trial Sword Tower of Zongji Jing is even more difficult?" He suddenly thought of Xiao Cangjian and recalled why he had only made it to the fifty-fourth floor.
"Is it as I thought? I’ll know if I go down to the next floor." Ren Pingsheng focused his mind and, after battling for nearly half an hour, he finally defeated all his opponents.
"Sure enough, the opponents on the fifty-second floor are even tougher. At this rate, how terrifying will the thirty opponents on the sixtieth floor be? I'm afraid with my current strength, I won't be able to get through. It seems that this time in the Trial Sword Tower, there’s no chance to reach the top." Ren Pingsheng thought regretfully while not slowing down his movements as he continued to battle against twenty-two opponents.
When Ren Pingsheng reached the fifty-second floor, it caused quite a stir outside. After all, those who could pass through twenty floors as Zong-level Martial Artists were among the top ranks, and many martial artists were shocked by the sudden emergence of someone like him.
"Do you think the person who reached the fifty-second floor in the Trial Sword Tower could be the Wind and Cloud Sword Sovereign?" A martial artist suddenly posed this question with a smile to those around him.
"Oh? Why do you think that?" Another martial artist asked in confusion.
"It's simple. The Wind and Cloud Sword Sovereign has passed through the Thirty-Third Layer of the Trial Sword Tower as a genius among monsters. Many from that batch of geniuses have broken through to become Zong-level Martial Artists, and many have made their names in both the Sword Sect Ranking and Martial Arts Ranking. Yet, the Wind and Cloud Sword Sovereign has been silent all this time. Now that such a genius has suddenly appeared, I can't help but suspect it. You know, when the Wind and Cloud Sword Sovereign first emerged, it was also very sudden."
This martial artist's analysis was quite convincing and immediately garnered agreement from many others. Perhaps he was intentional or perhaps it was unintentional; nonetheless, he guessed correctly.
"Haha, if it really is the Wind and Cloud Sword Sovereign, I wonder how far he can go. The Dominant Sword Sect has already reached the fifty-fourth floor," another martial artist said with an expression of anticipation.
However, Ren Pingsheng wasn't the only one who passed through the fiftieth floor; there was also a Demon Emperor. Not long after Ren Pingsheng, he too managed to pass through the fiftieth floor. It seemed that his integration with his new body was perfect, allowing him to fully unleash his strength.
"Damn it, these guys are getting harder to deal with at each level. No wonder Xiao Cangjian stopped here," Ren Pingsheng thought as he continuously dodged on the fifty-fourth floor, with two wounds on his back bleeding profusely. He had just entered this level and had already sustained serious injuries after killing one opponent.
"This is it for you! Slash!" With six Phantom Bodies shifting around, he seized an opportunity and changed his position to appear behind an opponent. With a single strike from his Windscar Sword, he directly killed them. However, he was immediately targeted by three other opponents; after taking a hit but managing to kill another opponent in return, he escaped.
"It seems this is where it ends for me; I'll finish off these guys first." Gritting his teeth, Ren Pingsheng focused on one opponent until he took them down before considering giving up. Even if he got hurt in the process, it didn't matter.
As Ren Pingsheng took down each opponent on the fifty-fourth floor one by one, counting carefully revealed that only half remained. He felt quite awkward himself as blood soaked his body.
"Hehe, I'll give you this arm; I hope you can handle it." With a fierce expression, Ren Pingsheng disregarded his opponents' attacks; with a twist of his Windscar Sword, two beams of Sword Light flashed out and directly eliminated two opponents. However, his left arm was also severed in the process.
Yet he merely frowned; True Qi surged within him as countless drops of blood poured down like rain.
"Explode!" He shouted softly as the falling blood unexpectedly exploded without warning, its power rivaling that of Sword Qi. Hundreds or thousands of drops of blood exploded simultaneously with astonishing force, severely injuring half of his opponents on the spot.
“Wind and Cloud One Sword, slash!” Looking at the ten opponents, each injured to varying degrees and significantly weakened, Ren Pingsheng would not let such an opportunity slip by. With a single strike of the Windscar Sword, he unleashed a wave of Cloud Mist that shimmered with Wind Blade.
“Boom…” After a thunderous sound, only two opponents remained. Both were heavily injured and unable to continue fighting, and Ren Pingsheng easily dealt with them. However, he felt his vision darken and his head spin. This was due to excessive blood loss.
Although the bloodshed had yielded good results, losing so much blood after severing his arm had taken a toll on his body. That he did not faint on the spot was already quite fortunate.
“Phew… Thankfully, this Trial Sword Tower is magical; no matter how severe the injuries, one can recover instantly. If it were outside in a Battle, I definitely couldn’t be this reckless.” In the space of the Fifty-Fifth Floor, Ren Pingsheng looked at his left arm, which had returned to its original state, and felt relieved. It was precisely because he could act without restraint here that he dared to be so reckless.
Unfortunately, on the Fifty-Fifth Floor, Ren Pingsheng did not activate Killing Heart. In the end, he fought to a mutual destruction and did not pass. Although his strength had reached the Intermediate Sect Level, there was still significant room for improvement in both Artistic Conception and Sword Momentum. At least, aside from achieving ninety percent in the Golden Realm and Blood Realm, everything else was only at eighty percent. There was still much room for enhancement.
At that time, his understanding of the Golden Realm had reached ninety percent on the fortieth floor. He achieved ninety percent in the Blood Realm when he reached the fiftieth floor.
When Ren Pingsheng left the Trial Sword Tower, his name also appeared on the Sword Sect Ranking. He had advanced to the fifty-fifth floor, ranking fifth on the list, just ahead of Xiao Cangjian.
In fact, his strength made it very possible for him to reach the Fifty-Fifth Floor. He had already eliminated twenty-five opponents on the fifty-fourth floor. If not for an unexpected incident at the end, he would have passed.
“Fengyun Sword Sect, ranked fourth on the Sword Sect Ranking. Look, it really is the Wind and Cloud Sword Sovereign!” Some martial artists noticed the change and excitedly chimed in, quickly drawing attention from many others.
Not long after Ren Pingsheng emerged, the Demon Emperor followed suit. He had advanced to the fifty-third floor but unfortunately did not make it through. His performance was still commendable; after all, merging bodies requires a long period of adjustment and cannot be perfected overnight. Even if one feels it is flawless, there are still many flaws present.
“Hmm, another genius has emerged from the Demon Heaven Martial Sect, ranked sixth on the Martial Arts Ranking. Does anyone know him?” The ranking of the Demon Emperor also came out, sparking interest among many martial artists.
