155: The third layer contains the remnant soul of the Immortal Venerable Taiyi!

Yang Dingtian and the others protested loudly.

However, no voice responded to them.

Chu Changge thus easily reached the seventy-thousandth step of the Heavenly Staircase, where the treasure chest had changed again.

He opened the treasure chest and looked inside.

It was filled with immortal crystals.

The moment he saw the immortal crystals, Xi Yao's voice rang in his mind.

"Young Master Chu, may I use these immortal crystals?"

Xi Yao's tone carried a hint of fervor.

She seemed very eager to obtain these immortal crystals.

Chu Changge didn't understand; he remembered once receiving a reward of one ton of immortal spirit stones.

Was there a difference between immortal spirit stones and immortal crystals?

He asked, "What do you want these immortal crystals for?"

Xi Yao: "Young Master Chu, these immortal crystals are a cultivation resource from the Immortal Realm, used to restore immortal power. My cultivation has suffered greatly, and if I can obtain these immortal crystals, I will surely recover my strength quickly."

"By then, I will be able to help you!"

"Moreover, I sense something amiss with this Taiyi Palace. These immortal crystals are cultivation resources from the Immortal Realm; they shouldn't be here. How could Taiyi Immortal Venerable use immortal crystals as a reward here?"

This was a point of confusion for Xi Yao.

Had Taiyi Immortal Venerable also descended to the mortal world?

After all, only this explanation could account for the presence of immortal crystals here.

Chu Changge frowned, pondering for a moment.

He was actually waiting for the Heavens Mandate Choice panel to appear.

Unfortunately, after waiting a while, no Heaven's Mandate panel appeared.

Chu Changge had no choice but to give up.

He said, "Then take them and use them. I hope you can truly help This Divine Son then!"

Chu Changge generously gave the immortal crystals to Xi Yao.

After all, he had no use for these immortal crystals yet; it was better to let Xi Yao recover a bit of her strength so she could help him.

Having done all this.

Chu Changge continued to ascend higher.

However, the higher he went, the more restless the source of calamity, trapped in the chaos bell, became.

It, which had been firmly suppressed by the chaos bell, began to emit sounds.

"Little Fellow, wait, wait, don't go any further. There's something terrifying ahead. If you keep going, something bad will happen!"

"Little Fellow, I beg you, I don't ask to merge with you, I only ask that you don't go to the third floor of the Taiyi Palace, how about it?"

After hearing the voice of the source of calamity, Chu Changge quickly activated the Great Awakening Divine Art.

He thought it was the source of calamity trying to bewitch him.

But after the Great Awakening Divine Art was activated, he could still hear the voice of the source of calamity, and he knew that the source of calamity was not bewitching him now.

Was this third floor really as dangerous as it claimed?

Chu Changge frowned.

He stopped. Unbeknownst to him, he had already reached the very top. Just one more step forward, and he could reach the hundred-thousandth step and enter the third floor.

But at this moment, he stopped.

Turning to look behind him.

Now, the group that originally had thousands of people was reduced to only a dozen or so!

These were all Prodigies from the Tianxuan Realm, each with an incredibly strong fate, either golden or red.

He looked at the information of these people.

[Recent Event (Yang Dingtian): Passed the second floor assessment of Taiyi Palace, entered the third floor, and after the final assessment, obtained an Immortal Source and a complete Chaos Immortal Scripture!]

[Recent Event (Chen Qi): Passed the second floor assessment of Taiyi Palace, entered the third floor, and after the final assessment, obtained an Immortal Source and two divine medicine fruits!]

"..."

The information for these people all stated that as long as they passed the third floor assessment, they would receive an Immortal Source and divine medicine fruits, which indicated that there would be no problem with the third floor's assessment.

Chu Changge understood something.

He sneered, "Hmph! Cunning source of calamity, trying to influence my judgment through such means to bewitch me and possess my body?"

"Dream on!!!"

Chu Changge turned around and then stepped onto the hundred-thousandth step of the Heavenly Staircase. He was the first to pass the Heavenly Staircase assessment.

The rewards he received were incredibly generous.

All were cultivation resources from the Immortal Realm.

If he used all these resources for Cultivation, it would be enough for him to Cultivate the Nine Transformations Immortal Ascension Art to the eighth transformation.

And as he stepped onto the hundred-thousandth Heavenly Staircase, the stone door before him rumbled open.

Chu Changge was not in a hurry to risk himself by being the first to enter the third floor for the assessment.

He activated his Void Immortal Bone, directly creating a spatial passage beneath the feet of Yang Dingtian, Chen Qi, and the other Prodigies, sending them all to the third floor of the Taiyi Palace.

These people were caught off guard and were inadvertently taken away by Chu Changge.

After doing all this, Chu Changge's Soul perception sensed that these people had landed safely on the third floor, and only then was he satisfied.

"Let's go, we're going to the third floor!"

As his voice fell, a spatial passage also opened beneath Su Ningxue and the others' feet, bringing this group to the third floor.

At this moment, the source of calamity, suppressed by Chu Changge under the chaos bell, had a ferocious expression.

"You brat, This Devil Head was kindly reminding you, and you treated my kindness as ill will!"

"Fine! If you die, don't blame This Devil Head for not warning you! The thing on this third floor is the remnant Soul of that old fellow Taiyi, whose mind has greatly changed! If you go up, you will surely be Possessed by him!"

Chu Changge watched as the source of calamity continued to bewitch him.

It wanted him to release it.

"You Devil Head, stop playing tricks. If it's really as you say, why would that old man only target This Divine Son?"

Chu Changge said indifferently.

Although his talent was good, the talents of those other people were also not simple.

While his talent was good, Possessing him would come at the greatest cost.

Possessing others, however, would not involve this trouble.

The source of calamity saw through his thoughts and said disdainfully, "Heh heh, do you think you're like those good-for-nothings? While their talents are good, it depends on who they're compared to. Compared to you, they're trash. If he doesn't target you, who will he target?"

Just as the source of calamity was still trying to persuade Chu Changge not to go up, to release it so it could impart divine skills to Chu Changge.

Chu Changge had already stepped onto the third floor.

At this moment, twenty-odd figures stood on the third floor.

These were all the people remaining in the Taiyi Palace!

And as Chu Changge also entered the third floor, when the number of people was complete.

The surrounding starlight suddenly converged towards the center.

These points of starlight condensed into a kind-faced old man.

This was, without a doubt, the remnant Soul of Taiyi Immortal Venerable left in the Secret Realm.

The appearance of Taiyi Immortal Venerable astonished everyone present.

They were seeing that supreme figure from the Eastern Desolation Dao Domain who had transcended to the Immortal Realm!

Taiyi Immortal Venerable's gaze swept across, his eyes lingering on Chu Changge for a moment without leaving any trace, then he smiled and greeted everyone.

"Everyone, congratulations on passing the numerous assessments I set. You are qualified to receive my Legacy!"
