When seeing Yang Chen’s Martial Arts Cultivation Level, Yan Haiming couldn’t help but feel tempted. Many loose cultivators form alliances to band together and fight against major powers, seeking benefits for their fellow cultivators. Even if they can’t gain any advantages, it would at least ensure their safety.
But for martial artists like him, they were in an awkward position.
It was because his Martial Arts Cultivation Level was simply not attractive to those alliances formed by loose cultivators.
It’s not that Yan Haiming’s talent was inferior, but rather, he was too young.
In fact, being able to reach the Spiritual Martial Realm 5th Level in his early twenties was not comparable to the top geniuses of the Major Sects, but there was no problem with being a distinguished figure among the loose cultivators. However, his issue was that he was too young. The forces formed by the loose cultivators were more interested in some people in their thirties with stronger Martial Arts Cultivation.
This also resulted in Yan Haiming, until now, remaining solitary and always overlooked by others to form an alliance with him.
Now, Yang Chen’s Martial Arts Cultivation Level was one level higher than his. If they could pair up, it would be a win-win situation for him.
Yang Chen, of course, understood Yan Haiming’s intentions and laughed, “If Brother Yan is interested, I’m happy to accompany you! By traveling together like this, we would have each other’s back.”
“Great, Brother Yang, please!” Yan Haiming couldn’t help but grin happily when he heard Yang Chen’s agreement and hurriedly spoke.
And so, Yang Chen and Yan Haiming went straight to the Ruins Palace together.
Upon arriving, Yang Chen saw the number of people gathered at the Ruins Palace as it is now.
There was a sea of people, densely packed, and there were at least tens of thousands.
Of course, tens of thousands of people were not a lot; for the entire Tiandu Emperor’s Treasure Secret Realm, tens of thousands were just a small part.
Just as Yan Haiming said, by scanning around, Yang Chen could see those four long staircases.
These staircases were at an angle, leading to the high altitude, and looking up, there was a rundown palace in the sky. Above this palace, two ancient characters were clearly visible. Ordinary people couldn’t recognize these characters, but Yang Chen could.
“Heavenly Palace!” Yang Chen narrowed his eyes.
The creator of the Ruins Palace was really bold, directly naming their palace as the Heavenly Palace.
As for the ancient characters, they were not too old, but rather just a different writing system from the current one. Ancient characters were studied at the beginning of human history and were used by both humans and demonic beasts alike. But as time went on, people fought against the heavens and the earth, and ancient characters gradually lost their usefulness.
Eventually, ancient characters were replaced by the current writing system and became obsolete.
Of course, there were still many older generations who liked ancient characters, and the creator of the Heavenly Palace was one such person.
“Four Heavenly Ladders leading straight to the Heavenly Palace, I wonder what lies at the top.” Yang Chen couldn’t help but wonder.
Yan Haiming suddenly said, “Brother Yang Feng, look! There are so many people on the Heavenly Ladder of the Origin Martial Realm.”
Yang Chen couldn’t help but look at what Yan Haiming was saying.
It was just as Yan Haiming said.
There were four Heavenly Ladders, each for different cultivation stages.
And the ladder for cultivators between Half-step Yuan Martial Realm and Fourth Level had gathered more than a hundred people.
This number was already astonishing.
Yang Chen was also slightly surprised.
These more than a hundred people did not represent the entire Heavenly Capital Great Emperor Secret Realm Trip. Even so, there were already more than a hundred masters at or above the Yuan Martial Realm. This made Yang Chen secretly gasp, it seemed that the strength of this Heavenly Capital Great Emperor Secret Realm Trip was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Yang Chen didn’t think that the forces from Sun Star City, Luo Yun Main City, and several other forces could bring so many young geniuses at the Yuan Martial Realm.
Moreover, the key point was not even these geniuses.
It was…
Yang Chen took a deep breath, and as he turned his gaze, he found that there were actually two people on the ladder between the Yuan Wu Realm Fifth Layer and the Half-step True Martial Realm.
This genuinely shocked Yang Chen.
He had originally thought that there was no possibility of anyone stepping foot on this fourth Heavenly Ladder.
But looking at it now, there were actually two people on this ladder.
These two people, a man and a woman.
What caught Yang Chen’s attention the most was the woman, dressed in white, looking like snow, with long black hair, and about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Her face couldn’t be seen clearly as she walked ahead of the man behind her, but her silhouette was full of endless imagination.
As for the man behind her, he seemed to be in his thirties, emitting an awe-inspiring aura. Yang Chen saw that this man had actually reached the high Martial Arts Cultivation Level of Yuanwu Realm Fifth Layer.
This made Yang Chen’s thoughts surge while also raising waves of astonishment in his heart.
It seemed that this Tiandu Emperor’s Treasure trip was extraordinary, with the existence of such young geniuses who had even reached the Yuanwu Realm Fifth Layer. And judging by the man’s posture, he was not as good as the woman in front. This made it not difficult to guess that the young woman in front was even more terrifying!
And there were still more unknown geniuses.
“It’s really blood-boiling, Brother Yang Feng, I’m going to give it a try and see what’s so magical about this Heavenly Ladder.” Yan Haiming laughed.
Yang Chen was also rubbing his hands in anticipation at this time, and both of them entered the Heavenly Ladder at the same time.
Yang Chen and Yan Haiming were both on the second Heavenly Ladder.
Yan Haiming laughed heartily, “Brother Yang, I’ll go ahead first.”
Yan Haiming went all out, releasing his True Qi and fully displaying his Martial Arts Cultivation abilities.
Yan Haiming played all out from the start, quickly moving forward, and in the blink of an eye, he covered about one-tenth of the Heavenly Ladder distance.
As for Yang Chen, he was leisurely stepping on the ladder, walking forward without hurry.
Compared to Yan Haiming’s impulsive behavior, Yang Chen was much calmer. He didn’t rush and even deliberately slowed down. The reason for doing this was naturally to observe the Heavenly Ladder.
For Yang Chen, rushing to the Heavenly Ladder and reaching the Heavenly Palace above was not the priority, but rather to carefully observe the surroundings of the Heavenly Ladder before moving on.
Often, calmly observing a situation was more beneficial than rushing forward. Just like Yan Haiming, who ran up quickly but soon became dispirited. Now he was stuck at about one-tenth of the Heavenly Ladder, and moving even a single step forward seemed as difficult as ascending to heaven.
There were many geniuses like Yan Haiming who struggled at the one-tenth or two-tenths positions on the ladder.
There was a reason for this.
It was because of the construction and design of the Heavenly Ladde
