Chapter 67 The Terrifying Lu Qingshan
In front of the Trial Pagoda.
Shortly after Terence emerged from the Trial Tower, the rankings on the blue stone tablet in front of them changed.
The text on the stone tablet began to flicker, the old rankings were slowly erased, and then the new rankings appeared one by one.
NO.1: Terence (Level 9 Spiritual Master, Star-Level);
NO.2: Liu Guangyuan (Level 9 Spiritual Master, Star-Level);
NO.3: Bonas (Ninth-tier martial artist of the Eternal Star level);
"this----"
"My God! Terrence has surpassed Liu Guangyuan again!"
"This is unbelievable! Wasn't he always being overshadowed by Liu Guangyuan? How did he suddenly overtake him?"
Upon seeing the rankings on the cyan stone tablet, a huge uproar immediately erupted among the surrounding elites, with everyone showing surprise on their faces.
In an instant, murmurs, exclamations, and sounds of onlookers rose and fell, and almost everyone's eyes were on Tyron—
Si and Liu Guangyuan exchanged glances, as if comparing these two rivals who had been entangled for hundreds of years to see who was superior.
"Damn it!"
All the smugness and composure on Liu Guangyuan's face, which had been full of confidence, vanished in an instant, replaced by disbelief and deep anger.
After regaining his senses, he quickly walked up to Terence: "Terrence, you actually made it through the eleventh level of the Trial Tower?"
Liu Guangyuan's voice was filled with resentment, after all, he only had two years left before he could become a top-level elite of Tianzhu Mountain!
The status of a top-tier elite means higher authority, more abundant resource allocation, and broader cultivation prospects—something every first-tier elite dreams of.
But now, Terence has ruined all of that!
This feeling of failing at the last hurdle almost made Liu Guangyuan so frustrated he felt like he was going to vomit blood.
Even if he continues to suppress Terence, he will still have to wait another hundred years before he has a chance to become a top-tier elite.
"hehe!"
Upon hearing Liu Guangyuan's words, Terence couldn't help but sneer, but his face showed no anger or excitement whatsoever.
Terence then turned around and strode towards the Trial Tower without looking back, leaving Liu Guangyuan standing there with a livid face.
Liu Guangyuan didn't give him a chance back then. When he was only eight years away from becoming a top-level elite, he interfered and ruined his almost attainable success.
Now that Terence has enough strength, he will naturally make Liu Guangyuan wait another hundred years!
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth—that's the fairest thing in the world.
On this cruel path of cultivation, he had no obligation to help the other party, especially since the other party had once destroyed his own opportunity.
After entering the Trial Tower, Terence quickly connected directly to the Trial Space.
This time, he didn't hold back; instead, he went all out.
In no time at all, all the wolves on the twelfth floor of the Trial Tower were dead, lying scattered all over the ground.
Even after entering the thirteenth floor of the Trial Tower, he killed four Celestial-level fourth-tier Azure Sky Demon Apes before being surrounded and killed by the remaining Azure Sky Demon Apes.
After his death, Terence was naturally kicked out of the Trial Tower very quickly.
Once his consciousness fully returned, his Trial Tower level had become 13.4!
This result isn't too bad even among top-tier elites!
"Now that I've passed the twelfth level of the Trial Tower, I can immediately apply to become a top-tier elite, no longer needing to slowly hold the top spot in the overall ranking of first-tier elites for a hundred years!"
Thinking of this, Terence felt a surge of pride again!
It's important to understand that while achieving the top ranking in the overall elite rankings a hundred times consecutively can make you a special-grade elite, its prestige is far less than that of clearing the twelfth floor of the Trial Tower!
The former relies on time, accumulation, and luck; while the latter relies on real strength.
"Furthermore, according to the teacher, Palich shouldn't have reached the fourth level of the Domain yet!"
Terence thought to himself, "Although I've just become a top-tier elite, I'm not exactly at the bottom among all the top-tier elites!"
Thinking of this, a hint of confidence flashed in Terence's eyes!
Paric was a legendary figure among the elites of Tianzhu Mountain. Even back then, he only wanted to replicate Paric's path.
But now, he has already surpassed Palicki.
Subsequently, Terence quickly submitted his application to become a top-tier elite of Tianzhu Mountain through the Tianzhu Mountain internal system.
After finishing these tasks, he finally stepped out of the Trial Tower.
Outside the Trial Pagoda, the surrounding elites had not yet dispersed.
They gathered in twos and threes, talking quietly, their eyes occasionally drifting in the direction of Liu Guangyuan.
This battle for first place, which has lasted for hundreds of years, has long become the most eye-catching spectacle among the elites of Tianzhu Mountain, and no one wants to miss any opportunity to watch the excitement.
After Liu Guangyuan had held the number one spot in the overall rankings for ninety-seven consecutive times, they thought that the battle for the number one spot, which had been watched for hundreds of years, would come to an end. But unexpectedly, new changes have occurred, and the plot has taken an unexpected turn.
"Terrence!"
Seeing Terence leave the Trial Tower, Liu Guangyuan, who had been waiting there, quickly stepped forward and said, "Don't think you've really surpassed me. I guarantee I'll become a top-tier elite before you!"
But before Liu Guangyuan could finish speaking, many of the top-tier elites, including himself, received new emails.
When they opened the email, they were all stunned.
Some people stared wide-eyed, some opened their mouths wide, and some stood motionless in place—the entire area in front of the Trial Tower fell silent instantly.
The email showed that Terence had passed the twelfth floor of the Trial Tower and successfully become a top-tier elite in Tianzhu Mountain.
"This—how is this possible?"
Looking at the message in the email, Liu Guangyuan's face was filled with disbelief.
The expressions on the faces of the other top-tier elites were no better—shock, envy, jealousy, and sighs.
A mix of emotions made everyone's expressions exceptionally rich.
After all, top-tier elites are extremely rare and hard to come by in Tianzhu Mountain; they cannot be achieved through hard work alone, but also require astonishing talent.
For example, Bonas, who is currently ranked third, entered the third level of the domain a thousand years ago, but he has not yet entered the fourth level of the domain.
This is precisely why the elites of Tianzhu Mountain are so rare, possessing a status comparable to that of a domain lord-level powerhouse.
"Liu Guangyuan, it seems your promises are useless!"
Seeing the incredulous expression on Liu Guangyuan's face, Terence quickly smiled and said, "Now that I've become a top-tier elite, with your strength, you should be able to continue holding the number one spot in the overall ranking of first-tier elites!"
These were the words Liu Guangyuan had once said to him, and now he was returning them verbatim.
After hearing Terence's words, Liu Guangyuan's expression kept changing.
In the end, he did not refute it, because he was very wary of Terence at this moment.
He wasn't wary of Terence's status as a top-tier elite; after all, he was confident he could become a top-tier elite in a hundred years.
What he truly feared was Terence's terrifying cultivation speed.
It should be noted that when Terence first joined Tianzhu Mountain, he was only at the first level of the Domain, but he was already at the second level of the Domain at that time;
Now, hundreds of years have passed, and he has only recently entered the third level of the Domain, but Terence has already entered the fourth level of the Domain!
The difference in their cultivation speed had made him realize the huge gap between himself and Terence.
This is a gap in talent and comprehension, a chasm that is difficult to bridge no matter how hard one tries.
Terence, however, no longer cared about Liu Guangyuan's thoughts and quickly left.
All the grievances between him and Liu Guangyuan over the years finally came to an end at this moment.
After returning to his residence and packing his belongings, Terence first sent an email to his teacher, Normanden, informing him that he had become a top-tier elite. Then, he set off for the world where the top-tier elites resided.
The entrance to the world where the elite elites reside.
"Your Highness Terence, I've been waiting for you!"
The person in charge of entertaining Terence was still the fox-human powerhouse Fogel, who had entertained Lu Qingshan before. After all, several hundred years was not too long for a cosmic-level powerhouse with a lifespan of 100,000 years.
"Mr. Vogel!" Terence said, nodding slightly to the other person.
"Your Highness Terence, please follow me."
Vogel greeted them with a smile, and then led Terence into the world where the first-level elites resided.
Next, just as he had guided Lu Qingshan, Fogel guided Terence, and soon led him to the area above the mansion where the elites were located.
"Your Highness Terence, this world previously had five top-tier elites, but recently Prince Dominic broke through to the cosmic level, so the number of top-tier elites here has decreased to four!"
"However, now with Your Highness Terence included, this world lord now boasts five more top-tier elites!"
As Vogel led Terence to land in front of a manor, he said with a smile, "Your Highness Terence, this is the manor you will be staying in from now on. The manor next to yours is the residence of His Highness Lu Qingshan. I heard that you and His Highness Lu Qingshan joined our Tianzhu Mountain together. You will have the opportunity to have a good chat with His Highness Lu Qingshan in the future!"
Lu Qingshan!
Upon hearing this name, Terence was also taken aback.
He was all too familiar with that name.
From the very first day he joined Tianzhu Mountain, this name has accompanied him throughout his cultivation journey.
Now, this name is known to everyone in Tianzhu Mountain and even throughout the entire Golden Lion Starfield.
In fact, when many powerful figures in the Golden Lion Starfield first heard of Lu Qingshan, it was mainly because he was the newly accepted disciple of the Lord of Chongshan Realm, Wells, and he only gained some fame because of his teacher's name.
Now, when other powerful figures in the Golden Lion Starfield mention Lu Qingshan, they no longer mention his identity as a disciple of a World Lord-level expert.
Lu Qingshan's astonishing talent and terrifying cultivation speed are his best calling card!
Although Terence had been diligently cultivating and had devoted all his time and energy to it, he had also heard the name that was already very familiar to him from his teacher Normanden many times.
Even when Normanden mentions this name, his tone is filled with admiration and emotion.
Fifty years have passed, and the realm of earth has entered fourfold;
Eighty years later, he entered the fifth realm of earth;
One hundred and thirty years later, he entered the sixth realm of the earth;
In 210 years, he entered the seventh level of the Earth Realm!
Each of these numbers is like an insurmountable mountain peak, something that other celestial geniuses can only look up to but never reach.
Lu Qingshan's cultivation seemed to never encounter any bottlenecks, progressing rapidly and never stopping.
He easily traversed each of the four, five, six, and seven realms!
Those bottlenecks that have caused countless geniuses to fail seem to have no place in front of him.
More than 600 years ago, he and Lu Qingshan joined Tianzhu Mountain together and became first-level elites. At that time, they were both at the first level of the domain and were on the same starting line.
Back then, he even secretly competed with Lu Qingshan, feeling that he might not necessarily lose to him.
He has just entered the fourth level of the Domain, but Lu Qingshan has been in the seventh level of the Domain for decades!
Don't be fooled by the fact that there are only three levels of difference; it took him more than four hundred years to successfully enter the fourth level of the domain.
Breakthroughs in any field become increasingly difficult as you progress; the difficulty of going from the fourth to the fifth level far exceeds that of going from the third to the fourth level.
Given his talent and cultivation speed, even if he were given another thousand years, he might not be able to successfully enter the fifth level of the Earth Domain.
And what about Lu Qingshan a thousand years later?
It should be noted that Lu Qingshan is now hailed by countless powerful figures in the Golden Lion Starfield as a peerless genius who appears only once every million years in the Golden Lion Starfield. He is completely comparable to Edgar, the super genius who stepped into the threshold of the Origin Law at the Hengxing stage more than 30,000 years ago!
With Lu Qingshan's unstoppable cultivation speed, a thousand years later he would probably have already entered the eighth or ninth level of the domain, and might even have touched the threshold of the Earth Origin Law.
Thinking of this, Terence couldn't help but sigh, "It was truly an honor for me to join Tianzhu Mountain and become a first-class elite alongside Prince Lu Qingshan!"
As he said this, his gaze involuntarily drifted toward the manor next door.
He knew that was Lu Qingshan's residence.
However, although their residences are right next to each other, their future life trajectories will be completely different.
With that thought in mind, Terence took a deep breath and suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind.
Lu Qingshan's achievements were beyond his reach, but the status of a top-tier elite was just a new starting point on his cultivation path.
Apart from Lu Qingshan, he will surpass all the other top-tier elites in the future!
