A great emperor master every day—the good-for-nothing young master is having a blast!

Chen Yue stepped onto the first step and waited for a moment without anything happening.

Only then did he feel relieved and strode uphill.

With each floor he climbed, Chen Yue felt short of breath and his body felt heavy. By the time he reached the seventh floor, he felt completely powerless.

I can't even climb up one floor; there seems to be an invisible barrier in front of me.

Knock, knock, knock, Chen Yue tapped gently.

Looking up, there were still more than a dozen steps I hadn't reached.

Stopped on the seventh floor, unable to advance even half a step further.

Chen Yue remained calm, showing little surprise.

A staircase formed from primal energy was placed right in front of Chen Yue.

He really wouldn't believe it if you said there wasn't something fishy going on.

It's only natural that we're facing this situation now.

"I knew it wouldn't be that simple."

Chen Yue sat on the seventh floor, pondering a solution.

What exactly is the connection between being forced to stop here?

It's related to his cultivation level at the seventh level of the Qi Condensation Realm, or it's related to his level of understanding of the Primordial Supreme Technique.

Chen Yue's comprehension of the moves in the first volume of the Primordial Supreme Technique has reached its pinnacle.

His technique was exceptionally skillful, and he could easily handle the condensation of dozens of Sky-Shattering Source Explosions.

As for the second level, Chen Yue only felt a sense of unfamiliarity. Before he could even flip through it, he was forcibly pulled into the illusory world.

My initial thought was simply to cultivate diligently and improve my cultivation level.

After careful consideration, Chen Yue realized he had no way to get to the second floor.

It was right in front of me, yet I couldn't step onto the second floor.

This feeling is exactly like having a treasure right in front of you, but being trapped and forced to watch helplessly – what's the difference?

Chen Yue activated his source power, unleashing his seventh level of source condensation cultivation.

With a click, Chen Yue stepped halfway onto the eighth step.

The process went much more smoothly than I had imagined, and I no longer felt that barrier from before.

"It seems that the conditions for stepping onto the second level are indeed related to cultivation level."

When the source power is fully activated, it is easier to reach higher levels than usual.

He hadn't released his source power yet, and even stepping onto the seventh floor required Chen Yue to use all his strength.

Once the source power of the seventh level of Condensation was fully released, standing on this seventh level, I felt somewhat lightheaded.

With both feet firmly planted on the eighth step, Chen Yue clearly felt he still had energy to spare.

He climbed upwards in one go, reaching seven more floors in a row.

Just as he was about to rush to the fifteenth floor, that familiar resistance appeared again.

"Just a little bit more..."

Chen Yue gritted his teeth and struggled to lift his right foot to step onto the fifteenth floor.

The moment he stepped halfway in, the powerful resistance almost sent Chen Yue flying.

"No, it's so close, I've decided I can't give up..."

The source power erupted instantly, resonating violently with the first level of the Primordial Tower of Heaven, the Tower of Perseverance.

Strands of dark red source energy surged forth, like pairs of giant hands supporting Chen Yue's back and forcibly pushing him up to the fifteenth step.

Chen Yue stood on the fifteenth floor with a stunned expression, looking back at the shoving sensation that had just occurred to him.

But inside this ancient tower, there couldn't possibly be another living person besides him.

Strands of dark red source energy drifted in the air, immediately attracting Chen Yue's attention.

"Is it them?"

Chen Yue found it hard to believe, but at the moment, there was almost no other possibility besides these.

Standing on the fifteenth step, Chen Yue felt a sense of relief wash over him.

Only three steps remain to reach the second level of the Ancient Tower.

Unfortunately, these three steps are harder than climbing to heaven.

Chen Yue used all his skills, but only barely reached the fifteenth level.

Even at this point, Chen Yue still couldn't see the full view of the second floor of the Ancient Tower of Babel.

At the top of the stairs is a void gate. Only by stepping onto the last level and passing through the void gate to reach the second level can you fully see the words on the second level.

The first layer is perseverance. Chen Yue walked in the fog for an unknown amount of time, and almost forgot himself.

After losing sight of everything, I wander aimlessly.

Just before his mental state collapsed, he saw the Ancient Tower of Heaven and entered the first level, the Tower of Perseverance.

On the second level, Chen Yue first experienced the scorching fire on the Green Green Grassland, and then saw the stairs leading to the second level on the first level.

The road that seemed smooth was actually quite extraordinary.

With his cultivation at the seventh level of the Qi Condensation Realm, he was stuck on the fifteenth step.

The source power has been raised to its peak, with no room for further improvement.

The sixteenth step was right in front of Chen Yue, but no matter what he did, he couldn't step over it.

A flame burned in his right hand as Chen Yue held the Heavenly Crimson Hammer, imbuing the hammer with all his source power.

He swung it forcefully, smashing it violently against the invisible wall in front of him.

"Can we get through?" Chen Yue wondered nervously.

The Heavenly Crimson Hammer, burning with dark red flames, slammed down as Chen Yue swung it with all his might.

A loud bang was expected, but unfortunately, it didn't happen.

There wasn't even a slight sound, let alone a loud noise.

The hammer blow felt like hitting cotton; there was no rebound whatsoever.

I felt as if I had gathered my source power and struck something soft and yielding with all my might.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Chen Yue's right hand, holding the Heavenly Crimson Hammer, ignited with a raging fire once more, the mark flickering faintly before settling still.

The feel of the transparent wall just now left Chen Yue extremely puzzled.

When he gently touched it with both hands, it felt hard and smooth.

Judging from the feel, it doesn't feel like a soft, squishy thing at all.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yue clenched his fist and slammed it down hard.

I almost lost my balance and fell to the ground.

This feeling is just like the sensation of swinging the Crimson Hammer and smashing it against the transparent wall.

After several repeated attempts, Chen Yue finally determined that brute force was completely ineffective against this transparent wall.

Any slightly heavy attack will cause the hard, transparent wall to instantly transform into a soft texture, allowing it to withstand any attack.

Chen Yue used all his strength in that attack just now; it wouldn't have been a problem to kill a peak Qi Condensation cultivator with that hammer blow.

Even against an opponent in the early stages of the Spirit Mansion realm, it can inflict severe damage in a head-on confrontation.

Even so, there was nothing they could do about the sixteen-story transparent wall.

A soft approach won't work, and a hard approach is even less likely to work.

Chen Yue was somewhat agitated and didn't know what to do.

"We've already reached the fifteenth floor; it would be a real shame to give up halfway."

"But what can we do standing here? We can't go up."

"Being stuck at the seventh level of the Qi Condensation Realm, the only way to reach a higher level is to work on improving my cultivation."

"Since that's the case, then..."

Chen Yue sat down on the ground and decided to cultivate on the fifteenth floor.

If force doesn't work, then improve your cultivation and openly ascend to the sixteenth or seventeenth level, or even the very top eighteenth level.

The high-grade source stones displayed in reality have lost contact with Chen Yue, who is in the illusory space of the Ancient Tower of Babel.

The released source energy had nowhere to go, so it had to be temporarily stored in a high-grade source stone.

Without the source power input from the high-grade source stones, Chen Yue still had something else.
