Chapter 52: Youming Sect’s Treasure

The notification sound echoed: “Ding, successfully killed a beastified Opening Profound Realm expert, obtained rewards, Sound Ball, skill points +1.”

Although the Sound Ball was a useful item, the reward of only 1 skill point was disappointing.

Nie Chen disdainfully threw down Qi Wang’s broken body.

Currently, he still needed 1 more skill point to complete the System.

However, there were still ten days left before the deadline, so there was no need to rush.

After Qi Wang’s death, the beast group and beastmen below lost their leader and suddenly stopped moving.

“Good opportunity, let’s drive them out while we can!”

The Youming Sect disciples finally gathered their courage and charged forward with their swords and guns.

The beasts, leaderless, lost their courage and scattered in all directions.

The Wan Xie Sect disciples who had been transformed into beasts by Qi Wang stood still, their bodies stiff, unable to move.

Although they had thick skin, they couldn’t resist at all.

In the midst of the disciples’ anger, they were quickly killed.

This time, the Youming Sect had won a great victory!

Cheers erupted like a wave, one after another.

However, everyone knew that if it weren’t for Nie Chen, the Youming Sect might have suffered a catastrophic defeat today.

“Brother Nie… no, Vice Sect Master Nie, you truly deserve your position!”

“Thank you, Vice Sect Master Nie, I owe you my life!”

The disciples and elders who had previously opposed Nie Chen’s appointment as Vice Sect Master now changed their tune, which was in line with the Demonic Sect’s principle of the strong devouring the weak.

Among the crowd, Nie Chen and Meng Yangqiu left and arrived at a secluded area near the Red Flame Tower.

Finally, with no one around, Meng Yangqiu looked Nie Chen up and down and suddenly revealed a shocked expression:

“You’ve reached the Opening Profound Realm!”

It was known that Nie Chen was once considered a waste, unable to cultivate normally, and was sent to deliver a message to Empress Qingyue.

But in such a short time, he had crossed the Qi Condensation Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm, and Opening Profound Realm with ease!

If this continued, Meng Yangqiu’s position as Sect Master might be threatened soon!

“Ha ha, thanks to Vice Sect Master Nie’s timely return, our sect was saved from destruction.”

“You’re my brother for life, Nie Chen! Although you’re now at the Heavenly Cloud Palace, the Youming Sect will always be your home, and I’ll always be your closest friend!”

Meng Yangqiu flattered Nie Chen, trying to get close to him.

To show his friendliness, he patted Nie Chen’s shoulder and rubbed against him.

Nie Chen suddenly felt a chill and pushed him away:

“I’m not interested in playing with old men.”

Meng Yangqiu was taken aback.

After a while, Nie Chen’s gaze turned serious, and he stared at Meng Yangqiu:

“What’s hidden in the Youming Sect that makes so many people covet it?”

Meng Yangqiu hesitated, revealing a hesitant expression, and finally sighed:

“Since Brother Nie has treated me like a brother, I’ll tell you. The thing left behind by our ancestor might be related to the ‘Source’.”

“Source?”

“Yes, the Source is an ancient, mysterious object, rumored to be connected to the vast universe. Although there are multiple Sources, they’re extremely rare and precious. Each Source has a different attribute, and its value varies. As for what our ancestor left behind, I’m not sure if it’s truly a Source. After all, no one has been able to reach the top of the Red Flame Tower.”

“Sounds like a good thing.”

Nie Chen nodded and turned towards the Red Flame Tower.

“Brother Nie, what are you going to do?”

Meng Yangqiu was shocked.

Nie Chen replied calmly: “I’ll climb the Red Flame Tower and take the treasure left behind by our ancestor.”

“Brother Nie, be calm! The Red Flame Tower’s power increases dramatically with each level. Even I can only reach the sixth level. If you force your way through, you might risk your life!”

Meng Yangqiu tried to persuade Nie Chen, but he didn’t listen and entered the Red Flame Tower.

Instantly, countless eyes were drawn to the tower.

“Brother Nie has entered the Red Flame Tower again?”

“Last time, he surpassed the Sect Master and reached the seventh level. Now that he’s stronger, which level will he reach?”

“Impossible… no one has reached the tenth level in so many years… it can’t be that ridiculous!”

As the crowd gasped in shock, Nie Chen ascended the tower.

The seventh level, which he had struggled to reach before, now posed no threat to him.

He then proceeded to the eighth level.

Meng Yangqiu had unexpectedly told the truth for once.

The difference between each level of the Red Flame Tower was terrifying, especially as one went higher.

The eighth level’s scorching heat was far more intense than the seventh level’s.

However, when Nie Chen activated the Ancient Sacred Body’s first vein, the golden light enveloped him, and the rolling heat waves couldn’t harm him.

Next was the ninth level.

The extremely hot flames transformed into ferocious beasts, charging towards Nie Chen.

However, these seemingly overwhelming flames couldn’t break through the tranquil, icy aura.

Finally, Nie Chen entered the tenth level.

When the light on the tenth level shone, the entire Youming Sect erupted in excitement.

“Brother Nie has really entered the tenth level!”

“Is this a joke? No one has reached the tenth level since our ancestor’s passing!”

Even Meng Yangqiu stared at the firelight coming from the tenth level, feeling incredulous.

However, although Nie Chen had entered the tenth level, could he withstand the trials within?

Everyone secretly worried.

At this moment, on the Red Flame Tower.

Looking at the monsters covering the tenth level, Nie Chen couldn’t help but sigh.

The Youming Sect’s foundation, passed down through generations, was indeed not easy to deal with.

These monsters were not only extremely powerful but also well-coordinated.

One team attacked from the front, another from the rear, and the third protected the leader.

The three teams worked together seamlessly, seemingly impenetrable.

However…

A brilliant golden light burst forth as Nie Chen took out the Three Emperors’ seal.

In an instant, the endless golden light enveloped the entire tenth level.

The Three Emperors’ silhouettes appeared, creating a massive wave that shattered all the flame monsters!

The tenth level was already severely damaged, and amidst the smoke and dust, a faint, green glow slowly descended.

Although the glow was extremely small, it seemed to contain infinite mysteries.

“Is this the Source?”

Nie Chen stretched out his hand and gently grasped it.
