Chapter 545 - 544: Creation Celestial Divine King

Chapter 545: Chapter 544: Creation Celestial Divine King

The moment he entered the passage, Yi Tianyun knew it was all an illusion, that none of it was real. This was a trial, so he had to keep his heart firm.

Even though he knew it was an illusion, everything felt incredibly real. A special kind of Spiritual Power continuously surged toward him, capable of affecting his senses.

This was the effect of the Illusion Realm, able to influence his every action. Yi Tianyun was affected as well. Spiritual Power endlessly tried to seep into him and cloud his mind, but as soon as it entered, he absorbed it and converted it to experience.

Still, a small amount seeped into his mind and began to affect him. It wasn’t a major problem, though, and he was able to keep moving forward. As he ventured deeper, other illusions tried to influence him, presenting endless temptations along the way.

There were Spirit Medicines, beautiful women, Divine Artifacts, and even troves of Heaven-rank Martial Arts. He paid them no mind, simply pushing forward and ignoring every temptation.

Finally, after walking for a very long time, he took one last step, and the surrounding environment vanished in an instant. He was once again surrounded by walls built from slabs of Profound Gold Stone, which looked rigid and lifeless.

When he turned to look back, he realized he had only walked down a short passage—the same one he had seen before. It was twenty zhang at most, yet it had taken him several hours to traverse. The journey had been remarkably long.

Yi Tianyun knew it was an Illusion Realm, but he didn’t try to break it, nor could he have. The illusion was incredibly intricate, and breaking it would have taken too much time. It was better to just walk his way out. He wouldn’t have chosen to break it by force unless he was completely trapped.

Besides, there was no benefit to be gained from breaking it by force. He figured he might as well take his time walking out and treat it as a sightseeing tour.

"So, I’m out..."

After emerging, Yi Tianyun looked ahead. His eyes fell upon a wide, open area. In the very center floated an Energy Ball shaped like a book, though he had no idea what it was.

Aside from that, there was nothing else around—not even an exit. It was just a vast, empty chamber.

As he drew closer, a ray of light shot out from the Energy Ball and transformed into a person floating in mid-air. When he focused his gaze, he saw that it was a little girl!

Illusion Spirit: Peak Spirit King Stage cultivation. Immortal as long as the grand array that sustains it remains intact. Known Martial Arts...

Yi Tianyun didn’t bother reading the rest. These Illusion Spirits were immortal anyway, and it wasn’t like he could destroy the grand array here even if he wanted to. All around him were Creator-level arrays, which were impossible for him to destroy at his current level. Even his Celestial Eye was useless against them.

Moreover, the Illusion Spirit was at the peak of the Spirit King Stage. If he made one wrong move, it would attack instantly, and he wouldn’t be able to defend himself. In his current state, he was no match for such a formidable opponent.

Besides, the Illusion Spirit wasn’t an enemy in the first place. There was no reason to pick a fight with it.

"Congratulations, Inheritor, on successfully passing the trial. You have met the criteria to become an Inheritor." The little girl’s tone was very rigid and devoid of emotion. But of course, it wasn’t a living being, just a created Illusion Spirit without feelings of its own.

Creators usually model their creations after their own preferences. This particular Creator, however, chose to fashion a little girl, a rather inscrutable choice.

However, to be able to casually create a peak Spirit King Stage Illusion Spirit meant the Creator themselves must have been incredibly powerful. Otherwise, how could they have made such an astonishing entity?

"So I’ve met the criteria for an Inheritor? Then I wonder, what will I be inheriting?" Yi Tianyun asked with a faint smile.

"Although you have met the criteria, your cultivation is still too weak. You must be at the Spirit King Stage or higher to properly receive the complete inheritance and control all the arrays of the Ascension Divine Altar," the Illusion Spirit explained.

’So I need to be at the Spirit King Stage or higher...’ Yi Tianyun nodded. He still had a long way to go and could only take it one step at a time. He had no idea how long it would take him to break through if he cultivated here.

"By the way, is this place really called the Ascension Divine Altar? What is it normally used for?" Yi Tianyun set aside the cultivation requirement for a moment and focused on the place itself.

"Yes, this is the Ascension Divine Altar. My master specifically built it to serve as a Teleportation Array connecting the Celestial Realm and the Netherworld. Because it currently has no master, no one has been able to activate it." The Illusion Spirit’s voice was crisp and clear, but it held not a shred of emotion, robbing it of any potential cuteness.

’This can teleport to the Celestial Realm?’ Yi Tianyun was inwardly stunned. He never imagined the true purpose of this place was a Teleportation Array leading directly to the Celestial Realm!

As far as he knew, no one in the Mortal Realm knew how to reach the Celestial Realm. This place offered an easy way to get there.

"Correct. You can examine the details yourself." After speaking, the Illusion Spirit pointed a finger, and a ray of light shot toward him. Yi Tianyun didn’t block it, allowing the light to enter his brain.

Soon, the details flooded his mind, including information about the master of this place.

The master of the Ascension Divine Altar was named Creation Celestial Divine King. He himself had achieved Divine King cultivation and was also a Creator-level Divine Rune Master. This dual status was staggering. It was already incredibly difficult to advance as a Divine Rune Master. To not only be a Creator-level one but also possess Divine King cultivation was simply astonishing.

The Creation Celestial Divine King was a powerhouse from the Netherworld and even possessed his own faction—the Flying Heaven Divine Kingdom!

In fact, Yi Tianyun had never heard of this Divine Kingdom. Not once. When he was with the Phoenix Race, he had spent some time learning about the general state of the world, but the Flying Heaven Divine Kingdom had never come up.

It wasn’t that he’d gotten the name wrong. More likely, the Flying Heaven Divine Kingdom had already declined and vanished into obscurity.

According to the information he received, the Creation Celestial Divine King had left the Netherworld long ago, and his whereabouts were unknown. Several thousand, perhaps even tens of thousands, of years had passed since.

That was why the inheritance here had never been claimed by the Divine King’s own faction. Instead, it was now being passed down to him.

The Creation Celestial Divine King’s purpose for building this place was simple. In addition to providing a cultivation site for his faction, its primary function was to connect to the Celestial Realm. This would allow his people to travel between the two realms, giving them more opportunities for training and preventing them from being stuck in the Netherworld.

The site was originally configured so only disciples of the Flying Heaven Divine Kingdom could enter for the inheritance. But after so much time had passed, the Illusion Spirit’s protocol had automatically changed. Now, anyone who successfully passed the trial could obtain the inheritance!

Yi Tianyun was incredibly fortunate to have arrived right when the rules had changed, and even more so to have met the conditions for the inheritance.

The conditions for the inheritance were simple: comprehend the Qiankun Divine Technique on the Divine Ladder, and then successfully climb the towering Celestial Ladder to the very top.

According to the original conditions, only those who comprehended the first two layers of the Qiankun Divine Technique would qualify for the inheritance. This meant that on the Divine Ladder, one had to ascend slowly, step by step, to comprehend the Martial Art. Otherwise, if their comprehension was incomplete, the climb would have been for nothing.

’Those who rushed to the top were simply foolish...’
