Chapter 790

Fan Xuexuan explained the general rules and various aspects of Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower to Yi Tianyun along with the gist of the situation on Ancient Netherworld Divine Nation. Yi Tianyun didn’t push for any specific matter regarding the Ancient Netherworld Divine Nation as he knew that it was up to Fan Xuexuan whether or not she’d trust Yi Tianyun later.

“This Flame Imprint turns out to be so useful later!” Yi Tianyun said as he looked at the Flame Imprint on his hand. He got it when he entered the 1st Layer City, and it would be used to challenge the platform later to get access to 2nd Layer City! Yi Tianyun learned that the Ancient Netherworld Divine Nation had this system from the beginning to filter out the ‘geniuses’ among cultivators.

To reach the 9th Layer City, where the Tower Lord resided, he had to clear the Challenge of the 8th Layer City, where the Elder resided, the 7th Layer City, where the Master resided, and the 6th city, where the Deacon resided. Each city was huge, demonstrating that Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower was really massive in size! It was no laughing matter as Yi Tianyun realised how powerful Ancient Netherworld Divine Nation really was in the past, but he was still not sure how could the Ancient Netherworld Divine Nation have fallen.

Yi Tianyun also learned that the Tower Lord had the power to kill anyone inside the Tower, but he couldn’t use it anytime he wanted. Unfortunately, there was no Tower Lord at the moment, so this power was unusable. The strongest cultivator right now inside the Tower would be among the Elders. The election of Tower Lord wasn’t so simple as it required layers of assessment before one could be considered a candidate to become a Tower Lord. The key that became the basis of all criteria would be the Pure Bloodline. This key was a major factor that would cause the Evil Spirit Race unable to elect themselves to become the Tower lord as the Evil Spirit Race would never have a pure bloodline.

The highest position that Evil Spirit Race could attain inside the Tower was only Elder Rank, but it was still good enough as they had a lot of power to create various rules inside the Tower. This was where the Flame Imprint came in handy as it was used as a sort of currency inside the Tower. Any cultivator could use their flame imprint to enjoy a lot of resources and even could use it to gain access to Cultivation Room according to the level of their Flame Imprint.

The most noticeable use of this Flame Imprint would be the ability to control the Netherworld’s Fire, which couldn’t be controlled with any normal means otherwise. The only downside from entering the Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower was the obligation to pay at least 5 Flame Imprints for those who wished to leave.

“Five Flame Imprints? The Evil Spirit Race won’t let these people leave if that’s the case. The Evil Spirit Race would rather absorb their blood essence for themselves before letting such a good cultivator go!” Yi Tianyun said to himself. This made sense as those who possessed 5 Flame Imprints would already be in 5th Layer City, meaning they were at least a genius cultivator with a good innate ability!

When Yi Tianyun was inside the city, he didn’t see anything special as he saw many residents were selling things on the side of the road, like Treasures and Spirit Medicine. The 1st Layer City was a huge place where people grew various Spirit Herbs, and even Demon Beast appeared once in a while. Moreover, the Spiritual Energy inside the Tower was far better than the outside, making it a suitable place to grind cultivation! Even so, there were still quite a number of people at the Spirit Refinement Stage as they couldn’t find suitable cultivation that could push their cultivation ahead.

Yi Tianyun also learned that there was barely any cultivator coming in nowadays. The Tower population has been thriving since the Ancient Netherworld Divine King’s time, so there was no problem there. Moreover, the cultivator with good evaluation had a chance to obtain a good Heaven Level Martial Arts. As a result, the cultivators inside the Tower were even more hesitant to leave the Tower anyway!

“That propaganda is the reason why these people are reluctant to leave this place. Little did they know that they were just cattle waiting to be butchered once they are mature enough!” Yi Tianyun said as he sighed. He knew that Evil Spirit Race must’ve been already inside the Tower, and they would be at the Elder Rank right now.

“Now, we have to climb up one layer at a time. Even if there are Elders up there, they shouldn’t have absolute control over the Tower. We have to rush up and kill the Elder to become a Tower Lord! Once we do, the Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower should return to what it was supposed to be!” Fan Xuexuan said determinedly.

“Are you already aware that your elder is an Evil Spirit Race?” Yi Tianyun wondered.

“I had my suspicion in the past, but there is no way to really prove it, especially with their cultivation being so high. I can hide my own Bloodline, but it was still tough to do so.” Fan Xuexuan explained.

“I understand. Now we must make haste! I don’t have much time here!” Yi Tianyun said, and Fan Xuexuan nodded before walking towards the centre of the city. A huge platform was in the centre of the city, and many people were already fighting there. Killing the opponent or throwing them off of the platform would earn you a Flame Imprint. If you were out of Flame Imprint, you no longer had the right to challenge others and had to wait until you got another Flame Imprint.

It wasn’t that long after Yi Tianyun walked towards the centre of the city, but the Iron Necklace on his chest began to glow red, meaning that an Evil Spirit Race cultivator was nearby! He looked around and noticed a dozen of cultivators that might be Evil Spirit Race Cultivators on the side. They were just silently watching the participant on the platform instead of joining the fight.

Yi Tianyun immediately jumped onto the platform and challenged one of the Evil Spirit Race to be his opponent. “You, come here and duel me!” Yi Tianyun said confidently. Obviously, Fan Xuexuan was startled by what Yi Tianyun did as she didn’t understand why Yi Tianyun decided to make a move right away instead of assessing the situation at hand first!
