As Feng Wuchen cultivated, time slowly passed.
At the entrance of the second layer of the Samsara Tower, Emperor Ice watched Feng Wuchen intently.
When the time came, the figure of Emperor Ice transformed into countless points of light and gradually dispersed, without showing any emotion on his aged face.
Emperor Ice did not leave any final words.
Feng Wuchen slowly opened his eyes, stopped cultivating, and looked toward the second layer of the Samsara Tower.
Emperor Ice’s figure had already disappeared, and Feng Wuchen felt as if he had lost something, a sense of emptiness.
This was not because Feng Wuchen relied on Emperor Ice’s power.
Feng Wuchen did not know Emperor Ice, but because of the Samsara Tower, Emperor Ice imparted all his inheritance to him.
Knowing well that Emperor Ice was about to disappear, Feng Wuchen was powerless to do anything.
Perhaps it was the inability to repay, or maybe it was self-blame for his helplessness.
The silent farewell left Feng Wuchen very saddened.
This might also be the best kind of farewell.
It also provided Feng Wuchen with motivation for cultivation.
"Senior Emperor Ice, I will never let you down; although I do not know what happened, I will surely bring you hope! Wait for me!" Feng Wuchen thought to himself, with sorrowful eyes filled with endless determination.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Today is the day the Grandmaster Assembly of the Profound Holy Realm convenes.
Three days ago, Feng Wuchen had successfully broken through to the Two-star Saint King Realm.
Although the cultivation had advanced, the third layer of the Samsara Tower remained quiet.
It was clearly not so easy to unseal.
Feng Wuchen secluded himself for twelve days, and during the remaining few days, he focused on crafting Nitian Divine Pearls and elixirs.
Although he hadn’t broken through in the alchemist realm, his soul power had significantly increased, closing the gap towards the breakthrough to the Saint Monarch Realm as an alchemist.
"It’s three hours until the start, Supreme One; let’s depart. Many alchemists have already headed there ahead of time." Chu Tianshu said respectfully with a smile.
Feng Wuchen nodded, and Chu Tianshu then waved his hand, causing the two to vanish into thin air.
Even at Chu Tianshu’s Saint Emperor level, it took almost half an hour to reach the Profound Holy Realm.
"Supreme One, the Grandmaster Assembly is at the Soul-Pillar Pagoda in the sea domain of the Profound Holy Realm." Chu Tianshu spoke respectfully.
"Soul-Pillar Pagoda?" Feng Wuchen was somewhat surprised, guessing that the Soul-Pillar Pagoda might be similar to the Divine Tower in the Divine Realm, a gathering place for alchemists.
Feng Wuchen’s guess was correct; the Soul-Pillar Pagoda indeed represents all the alchemists of the Holy Realm.
Almost all powerful alchemists are members of the Soul-Pillar Pagoda.
The terrifying nature of the Soul-Pillar Pagoda can be imagined.
Chu Tianshu said respectfully: "The Grandmaster of the Martial Soul Holy Palace is also the Grandmaster of the Soul-Pillar Pagoda. His achievements in the field of alchemy are unfathomable, and I’m far from being his match."
"No wonder our Dragon God Holy Temple fears the Martial Soul Holy Palace so much; the alliance of two transcendent forces is truly hard to deal with." Feng Wuchen nodded.
"Because of this, the Demon Clan secretly colludes with the Martial Soul Holy Palace. If not for the involvement of the Martial Soul Holy Palace, the three traitors of the Dragon God Clan would have been eliminated by the Ancestor long ago." Chu Tianshu said calmly.
"If the Martial Soul Holy Palaces and the Soul-Pillar Pagoda ally with the Demon Clan, wouldn’t it be easy for them to deal with us?" Feng Wuchen asked, frowning.
"Indeed, but the Ancestor recently summoned the Dragon God Totem and suppressed all major forces in the Holy Realm with incredibly terrifying power. Even if they unite, they likely wouldn’t dare rashly act against us. Moreover, the Soul-Pillar Pagoda does not follow the Martial Soul Holy Palace’s commands and would not willingly oppose our Dragon God Holy Temple." Chu Tianshu spoke respectfully.
"Dragon God Totem?" Feng Wuchen was taken aback and couldn’t help recalling the black totem of the Dragon God Clan.
In the past, they had used the Dragon God Totem to test the Divine Clan bloodline.
However, the two are completely different.
The Dragon God Totem in the Holy Realm is the oldest and most powerful existence.
"Supreme One, there is the Soul-Pillar Pagoda up ahead." Shortly after, Chu Tianshu led Feng Wuchen to a Sacred Mountain in the sea domain.
A colossal and majestic tower stood towering at the peak of the Sacred Mountain, grand and imposing, awe-inspiring.
It was sacred and inviolable.
From afar, Feng Wuchen could already sense numerous terrifying auras and soul powers.
These emanated from the Soul-Pillar Pagoda.
"Such terrifying auras! The Soul-Pillar Pagoda indeed has Saintly Honor experts stationed here, and their power is extremely formidable!" Feng Wuchen thought to himself, secretly awed by the strength of the Soul-Pillar Pagoda.
"It seems that strong alchemists from various regions have gathered here; there should be many talented alchemists participating this year." Chu Tianshu said with a joyful smile.
Before long, Chu Tianshu led Feng Wuchen to the outside of the Soul-Pillar Pagoda.
"Greeting the Grandmaster of the Dragon God Holy Temple!"
With the appearance of Chu Tianshu, a young man immediately emerged at the gates of the Soul-Pillar Pagoda to respectfully bow and welcome them.
"A Saint Emperor expert! An alchemist at the Saint Emperor Realm!" Feng Wuchen discerned the man’s cultivation at a glance.
The man was Xue Qingye, a talented alchemist from the Soul-Pillar Pagoda.
Given Xue Qingye’s respect, it was evident that the Dragon God Holy Temple still held significant intimidating power.
"Elder Chu, please come inside; the Tower Master and elders are in the tower, and I have also prepared a resting place for you." Xue Qingye said respectfully, while also briefly examining Feng Wuchen without any change in expression.
"Thank you." Chu Tianshu replied with a faint smile, walking ahead of Feng Wuchen.
Feng Wuchen did not wish to reveal his identity and could only pretend to be Chu Tianshu’s disciple.
Inside the tower’s hall, besides the Tower Master and elders of the Soul-Pillar Pagoda, there were several powerful alchemists, clearly hailing from various major forces.
Only those with unparalleled status had the privilege of appearing in the hall.
Other alchemists had been arranged to rest in other palaces.
"Elder Chu, you’re a bit late; I thought I couldn’t invite you this time." As Chu Tianshu and Feng Wuchen entered, a slightly displeased voice laughed.
The speaker was Zhuchenxin, Second Elder of the Demon Clan.
Feng Wuchen could identify him as belonging to the Demon Clan from his aura alone.
"Elder Chu!" The other elders of the Soul-Pillar Pagoda and some alchemists greeted him politely.
Chu Tianshu politely returned their greetings, but completely ignored Zhuchenxin.
Chu Tianshu was indeed quite imposing.
"Elder Chu, we were waiting for you; the Grandmaster Assembly wouldn’t be complete without you, hahaha!" On the main seat, an elderly man in a white robe happily stepped down, being exceedingly courteous.
"The Tower Master flatters me." Chu Tianshu replied with a calm smile.
"No wonder he is the Tower Master; truly formidable!" Feng Wuchen observed the white-robed elder and respectfully bowed.
The white-robed elder nodded satisfactorily.
"Elder Chu, normally you arrive early; why did you come so late this year? The talented alchemists from the Dragon God Holy Temple arrived several days ago, and the Grandmaster Assembly is almost starting now." An elder asked calmly.
This was the Grandmaster of the Martial Soul Holy Palace and also an elder of the Soul-Pillar Pagoda, a person of extremely terrifying identity.
