160: Head to the Trial Grounds

His cultivation from nine years ofSign in (sign-in) was only enough for 1,900 years, still lacking 700 years, so he simply accumulated it.

Now he was a sixth-level Loose Immortal, with four Immortal Artifacts for defense, fearing no one at all.

The System had also said that there was no existence in this Lower Realm that could pose any threat to him; all were in the Earth Immortal Realm, with no Heavenly Immortals.

Ye Ming guessed that all existences above the Heavenly Immortal Realm were held back by the Immortal Realm, and those who came to the Lower Realm were merely stragglers.

As for why it required over two thousand years of cultivation to advance to the Earth Immortal Realm.

That was because the Earth Immortal Realm was not as easy to advance to as the Loose Immortal Realm; each Realm of Immortals brought immense changes.

Moreover, the difficulty of advancement increased by several, ten, or even a hundred times!

An Earth Immortal needed to open Immortal Apertures within their body, and as a Human Race member, he needed to open a total of 108 Immortal Apertures to Break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

To enter the early stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, he first had to open thirty-eight Immortal Apertures!

Each Immortal Aperture was not so easy to open; even with his Immortal Spirit Root, he couldn't open one in a short time.

Furthermore, the difficulty of opening each Immortal Aperture increased exponentially, requiring the accumulation of sufficient immortal essence toImpact (impact) the Immortal Aperture.

The System calculated that with his talent and the help of immortal essence, it would take at least twenty more years to open the first one.

Later Immortal Apertures might take decades or even centuries to open each.

This was why the System said it required 2,600 years of cultivation to Break through to the Earth Immortal Realm in one go... Next were the last two sign-ins, one being ten Low Grade Immortal Talismans containing terrifying attack Laws.

One Immortal Talisman could instantly kill a strong cultivator who had just entered the Earth Immortal Realm.

The last one was ten Array-Breaking Immortal Beads, which were single-use Low Grade Immortal Treasures capable of breaking any Low Grade Immortal Array.

The items from these two sign-ins were dispensable to Ye Ming and were thrown into a corner of his System space.

However, he still took out three Low Grade Immortal Talismans for Ling'er's self-defense, as the Spirit Realm was not safe, and there were several peeping perverts comparable to Earth Immortals constantly coveting the Spirit Realm.

These were the items he had signed in for over the past nine years.

This year, the Trial Grounds were opening, and he had to leave the Immortal Sect again.

Ye Ming was somewhat interested in the so-called Trial Grounds. He should also be able to learn about the legendary figure of the Human Emperor then. He hoped everything would go smoothly!

This morning.

Several mountain-guarding Yao Beasts below the Immortal Sect let out their calls on time, reminding everyone in the Immortal Sect.

A new day had begun!

Ye Ming slowly walked out of the Immortal Hall, a token held in his hand.

At this moment, the token was sparkling, and a map was displayed within it, visible only to Ye Ming.

This was an exclusive token made for him by the Human Emperor Hall. In the future, whenever the Trial Grounds opened, he could use this token to enter.

The top ten Prodigies would all receive this token, but Ye Ming was personally invited by the Human Emperor Hall and did not need to be in the top ten of the immortal ranking list.

Ye Ming didn't know what the Human Emperor Hall meant. With his perceived strength in others' eyes, he couldn't compare to those Prodigies, only his talent was too Heaven-Defying!

He really didn't know if they wanted to harm him or genuinely help him, for over time, hearts could change!

No one knew if the current Human Race leader would still maintain their original intention.

Don't be like the Tian Yuan Sacred Land, all smiles and pleasantries at first, then stabbing you in the back.

If that were the case, there would be no need for the Human Emperor Hall to exist!

But he would only know after going... Ye Ming walked out of the Immortal Hall, and nine Little Golden Dragons flew over.

"Good morning, Master!"

Long Yi and the others spoke to Ye Ming in unison, each holding some delicacies and presenting them to Ye Ming, vying for his favor.

After all, anything their master casually took out could significantly boost their strength.

"I won't eat today. Come out with me for a trip first!"

Ye Ming waved his hand and stepped into the golden war chariot carriage they were pulling.

"Awoo, we're going out!"

Long Jiu excitedly put away the delicacies. Among the nine Dragons, it was the one who loved to run around the most.

The other Little Golden Dragons also put away their items, and at the same time, pulled the war chariot into the air.

After they grew ten thousand times larger in mid-air, they pulled Ye Ming out of the Immortal Sect.

At the same time, deep within the Immortal Sect.

The three Grand Elders were drawing lots again, to see who would be Ye Ming's Dao Protector.

Nian Xuan tossed the bamboo tube in his hand, and three bamboo slips immediately flew out, landing in each of their hands.

"Hehe, this time I drew it. That's that, I'm off!"

Nian Xuan smiled as he held up the bamboo slip, which had the words 'Dao Protector' on it.

Mo Xuan and Xue Rou both sighed.

Mo Xuan wanted to go out with Ye Ming again.

And Xue Rou sighed, thinking that she had never been Ye Ming's Dao Protector even once.

Just as Nian Xuan was about to leave, an Immortal Light flew out from the Secret Realm, and a miniature pagoda appeared before his eyes.

"Take my Clone with you!"

The voice of the nine heavens profound pagoda came from within.

"Are you afraid that Daozi will encounter another accident?"

Looking at the small pagoda before him, Nian Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm, it's always good to be prepared for anything, because we can't be sure if he will change, after all these years." The nine heavens profound pagoda transmitted, implying something.

Hearing the nine heavens profound pagoda say this, Nian Xuan fell silent.

He couldn't really comment. The Human Emperor had done so much for the Human Race; he still hoped the Human Emperor would always stand with the Human Race.

Nian Xuan thought for a moment, then spoke to the small pagoda: "Then let's set off!"

The small pagoda glowed slightly, then flew away with Nian Xuan to follow Ye Ming.

On the other side.

Ye Ming had already flown out of the Nine Profound Great State. He planned to ride the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon war chariot to the Trial Grounds.

The Trial Grounds would only open in five months; this amount of time was sufficient!

A moment later, Ye Ming in the carriage suddenly opened his eyes, sensed slightly, then closed them again.

Just now, he had detected a faint aura following outside his carriage. If it were anyone else, they truly wouldn't have noticed.

After realizing it was a miniature pagoda following beside him, Ye Ming lazily closed his eyes again.

He hadn't expected the nine heavens profound pagoda to come out to protect him. It seemed the Immortal Sect truly cared about him, their Daozi.

This also showed that his original choice was not wrong!

When he Ascended to the Spirit Realm, he had considered two choices: one, if the Immortal Sect was good, he would stay there forever.

The other was that if the Immortal Sect was not good, he would leave it and become an unnoticed, insignificant Loose Cultivator, wandering among the Three Thousand Spirit Domains, enjoying the scenery of each domain.

However, now, his choice to join the Immortal Sect was very good.

The Immortal Sect regarded him as one of their own, and he should contribute to the Immortal Sect and be responsible for the identity they gave him.

Just like now, for his safety, the Immortal Sect even brought out its strongest trump card, not to mention that the Immortal Sect's treasury and various Immortal Pavilions were fully open to him.

Whatever he wanted, the Immortal Sect would try its best to find it for him.
