216: Emperor's Luck

"If one day, Junior breaks through to the God Emperor Realm, I will definitely come to visit Senior again." Yang Lingchen said, his tone filled with determination.

"Good! Good! Good! You are worthy of being a son of our Tianwu Continent. Since you have come here, I must give you some benefits."

After Senior Lin Tianjue finished speaking, he waved his large hand, and instantly, a stream of incomparably pure Origin energy enveloped Yang Lingchen like water ripples.

As this pure energy entered his body, Yang Lingchen quickly sat cross-legged and began to refine it with full concentration.

"Boom...!"

"Divine Martial Realm fourth layer!"

"Divine Martial Realm fifth layer!"

"Divine Martial Realm sixth layer!"

...

"Divine Martial Realm ninth layer Peak!"

With the assistance of this pure energy, Yang Lingchen's cultivation level broke through all the way to the Divine Martial Realm ninth layer Peak before slowly stopping.

"Many thanks, Senior!"

Yang Lingchen cupped his hands and bowed respectfully.

At this moment, he felt as if he were in a dream. He truly could not believe that he had only entered the Burial Ground of Gods for half a month, yet he had already broken through to the Divine Martial Realm ninth layer Peak.

Originally, Yang Lingchen thought it would take at least two or three years to break through to the Great Emperor Realm, but now, only half a month had passed, and he was only one step away from the Great Emperor Realm. This was truly incredible.

"No need for formalities. You and I are both sons of Tianwu. This is all I can do for you. When you break through to the God Emperor Realm, remember not to forget to come here again. At that time, I will reveal the biggest secret of the Tianfeng World to you."

Senior Lin Tianjue's gaze was incomparably solemn, as if his eyes could pierce through time and space.

"Senior, rest assured. After Junior breaks through to the God Emperor Realm, I will definitely come to visit Senior again." Yang Lingchen said, his expression solemn.

"Go! The Emperor Realm Puppet outside will no longer attack you in the future."

After Senior Lin Tianjue finished speaking, his figure instantly disappeared without a trace, dissipating like smoke.

"Junior bids farewell!"

Yang Lingchen bowed to the place where Senior Lin Tianjue had disappeared, then walked steadily along the passage towards the outside.

Although there were countless Cultivation Techniques and Secret Treasures here, Yang Lingchen did not take them because these things were all burial items for Senior Lin Tianjue.

When Yang Lingchen came, every step was terrifying, but on the way back, he no longer had that hair-raising feeling of fear.

Climbing back up to the Abyss of Buried Gods, Yang Lingchen felt as if a lifetime had passed.

Yang Lingchen stood quietly above the Abyss of Buried Gods. A moment later, a flash of tenacity crossed his eyes, and then his figure flashed, flying towards the nearest city.

For the road ahead, Yang Lingchen had already planned it out: he would start an epic journey of challenges.

He wanted to become an Invincible Level Cultivator among the younger generation of his time, at the same cultivation level, during this epic journey of challenges.

And to become an Invincible Level Cultivator, one needs to constantly challenge and defeat opponents.

The reason Yang Lingchen wanted to become an Invincible Level Cultivator at the same cultivation level was mainly to compete for Great Emperor Luck.

Luck is a mysterious thing. When a person becomes an invincible existence among geniuses of the same cultivation level, their Luck will become increasingly prosperous.

Especially for geniuses at the Divine Martial Realm ninth layer. Once they reach this Realm, almost all young geniuses will go around challenging others to compete for Great Emperor Luck.

Breaking through to the Great Emperor Realm is extremely difficult. Out of a thousand geniuses at the Divine Martial Realm ninth layer Peak, it is already a stroke of fortune if one can break through to the Great Emperor Realm.

To break through to the Great Emperor Realm, one needs to constantly challenge others and compete for enough Great Emperor Luck among the many Divine Martial Realm geniuses. When you accumulate enough Great Emperor Luck, the Breakthrough will come naturally.

Moreover, once an Invincible Level Cultivator breaks through to the Great Emperor Realm, they will directly become an invincible existence at the same tier. At that time, even at the Early Stage of the Great Emperor Realm, they will be able to defeat experts at the Peak of the Great Emperor Realm.

As for those at the Peak of the Divine Martial Realm who obtain too little Great Emperor Luck, they basically do not have the ability to perform a Cross-Rank Challenge after breaking through to the Great Emperor Realm.

After two days of long-distance flight, Yang Lingchen finally arrived at the nearest super city.

Juntian City, the largest city within a radius of thousands of miles, was under the jurisdiction of the Intermediate force, the Heavenly Sword Sect, which in turn was under the jurisdiction of the top-tier force, the Tianluo Domain.

After entering the city, Yang Lingchen bought a newly published copy of the tianfeng records in Juntian City. The tianfeng records not only recorded the cultural anecdotes of the Tianfeng World but also updated the divine martial ranking, great emperor ranking list, heavenly emperor ranking list, and God Emperor ranking list in every issue.

The tianfeng records were produced by Hundred Knowings. It is rumored that Hundred Knowings' strength had already reached the God Emperor Realm, and there was nothing in the entire Tianfeng World that he did not know.

Therefore, the tianfeng records he produced were very popular among Cultivators in the Tianfeng World, especially the various ranking lists he compiled, which were absolutely authoritative.

Yang Lingchen carefully read the tianfeng records, and soon he saw Feng Xueqing's name on the divine martial ranking.

Feng Xueqing, age eighteen, cultivation level Divine Martial Realm ninth layer Peak, ranked twentieth in the Tianluo Domain, and ranked two-hundredth in the Tianfeng World.

Then, Yang Lingchen carefully looked at the divine martial ranking and saw Chen Zixuan's name.

Chen Zixuan, age twenty, cultivation level also Divine Martial Realm ninth layer Peak, ranked nineteenth in the Tianluo Domain, and ranked one-hundred-and-eightieth in the Tianfeng World.

The divine martial ranking only recorded the younger generation under the age of thirty. The great emperor ranking list had no age limit and was ranked solely by strength.

Soon, Yang Lingchen determined his first challenge target: Wang Chen, the Young Master of Juntian City.

Wang Chen was ranked eighty-eighth on the divine martial sub-ranking of the Tianluo Domain.

In this nearby area, Wang Chen was the absolute number one Genius. Since entering the Divine Martial Realm ninth layer Peak, he had never been defeated.

With a target in mind, Yang Lingchen walked directly towards the Challenge Stage of Juntian City.

In the Tianfeng World, basically every city had a public Challenge Stage.

Yang Lingchen was not afraid of retaliation after winning a challenge because divine martial ranking challenges were public and fair. Anyone who dared to retaliate openly would become a public enemy of all Cultivators in the Tianfeng World and be spurned by the entire cultivation world.

Normally, as long as it was not malicious killing or intentionally crippling someone, there would generally be no retaliation.

If you killed someone or crippled them, although people might not dare to retaliate openly, it would be hard to say in secret.

Yang Lingchen arrived in front of the Juntian City Challenge Stage, hung the challenge banner he had prepared in advance firmly above the Arena, and then sat quietly on the Arena, waiting for Wang Chen's arrival with a calm expression.

Generally speaking, young geniuses at the Divine Martial Realm ninth layer Peak would not refuse a challenge from the same cultivation level.

Because once they refused, it meant admitting defeat, and defeat would affect a person's Great Emperor Luck, which was very disadvantageous for future Breakthroughs to the Great Emperor Realm.

...

City Lord's Mansion, in a luxurious and elegant courtyard.

A handsome-looking youth with a trace of evil spirit on his face was lying leisurely on a comfortable reclining chair. In his arms, he was holding a hot-bodied and charming woman.

This handsome youth was none other than Wang Chen.

"Young Master, someone has hung a banner at the Challenge Stage, specifically naming you for a challenge." At this moment, a servant hurried in.

"Challenge This Young Master? Interesting."

A cold sneer curled the corners of Wang Chen's mouth, and he muttered to himself: "It seems that if I don't kill a few people, I won't be able to have peace in the future."
