Night fell.
The Holy Star Tower stood tall on top of a huge mountain peak, located in the central region of the Tianyuan Holy Palace.
The peak pierced through the clouds, and even in the night, countless floating mists could still be seen, looking like a fairyland.
There were many people in front of the Holy Star Tower, and each of them had an imposing manner, with extremely thick auras within their bodies.
Disciples who could enter the Holy Star Tower for cultivation were basically disciples who had stayed in Tianyuan Holy Palace for more than ten years, though there were occasional special exceptions.
Therefore, the vast majority of their strengths were above the eighth heaven of the Star Vortex Realm, and it was not uncommon for there to be disciples at the Star Cave Realm either.
At this moment, a young man who looked rather lazy and out of place compared to the many other people walked into the square in front of the Holy Star Tower.
Soon, someone recognized him.
Wasn't this Ye Xiu who caused a huge ruckus at the outer gate a couple days ago?
What was this guy doing here? Although he had defeated two disciples at the Star Power Realm with his own strength, this was not a place he should be coming to.
How interesting. An outer gate disciple actually dared to come to the Holy Star Tower? Did he think that with his first grade Star Origin, he would be able to withstand the hundredfold stellar power in the Holy Star Tower?
He hadn't even reached the Star Vortex Realm, yet he came here. It looked like he had really let recent events go to his head.
Most people were very familiar with Ye Xiu. After all, he had already caused great sensations when he first entered the sect. Later, he stirred up two more huge waves of discussion. Even among the inner gate disciples and core disciples, and even among the saint children, many had strong impressions of Ye Xiu.
They just didn't expect that this brat, instead of going to the underground Star Palace outside the sect gates to cultivate, had actually come to the Holy Star Tower.
This was a place that required at least the Star Vortex Realm to cultivate.
Since ancient times, no outer gate disciple had ever dared to come here.
Therefore, when they saw Ye Xiu arrive, many people couldn't help but sneer coldly.
Most people felt that Ye Xiu had gotten carried away these past few days.
Ye Xiu ignored those people and headed straight for the Holy Star Tower.
To him, the hundredfold stellar power was the greatest lure.
He really looked forward to how much he could improve after absorbing the hundredfold stellar power.
Numerous pairs of eyes stared unblinkingly at Ye Xiu.
He's really going to the gates of the Holy Star Tower!
I'm afraid he won't even be able to get in. The Holy Star Tower isn't somewhere just anyone can enter casually!
Ye Xiu arrived at the towering gates of the Holy Star Tower, which were a full ten meters tall and magnificently impressive.
But just as he was about to continue forward, the two disciples guarding the Holy Star Tower suddenly blocked his path.
"Stop right there!"
"I'm here to cultivate," Ye Xiu said directly, too lazy to bother with pleasantries.
"Hand over your identity token," said one of the disciples guarding the tower.
Ye Xiu pinched a white token between his fingers and handed it over to one of them.
A white token?
The most ordinary outer gate disciple.
The two disciples looked at each other strangely. Since when did such riffraff dare to come to the Holy Star Tower?
"Ye Xiu?" they murmured in disbelief, then laughed mockingly.
Ye Xiu had made quite a name for himself these past few days, but he was still just trash who hadn't even reached the Star Vortex Realm. Yet he dared to arrogantly come to the Holy Star Tower and think he could enter it to cultivate?
"That's right," Ye Xiu said casually.
"What's your current cultivation level?" one of them asked.
Ye Xiu replied calmly and confidently, "First heaven of the Star Power Realm."
Bursts of uproarious laughter rang out across the square.
"Hilarious, this guy's an idiot. He's not even at the ninth heaven of the Star Vortex Realm but he's more confident than me at the ninth heaven of the Star Vortex Realm!"
The two disciples guarding the tower also couldn't hold back their laughter.
Ye Xiu glanced at them indifferently, too lazy to bother with them. He'd just wait until he entered and then these people laughing at him now would probably piss themselves in fright.
"Are you done laughing?" Ye Xiu asked casually after they finished. "If so, I'll head in now."
"Ye Xiu, what are you thinking? Take your token and hurry back. This place isn't suitable for you," the disciple said, handing Ye Xiu's token back to him.
"Not suitable for me?" Ye Xiu glanced around. "I don't see any clear rules forbidding outer sect disciples from entering."
"Indeed there are no clear rules forbidding it, but we're doing this for your sake. Without reaching at least the ninth heaven of the Star Vortex Realm, going in would be pointless suicide. In an instant of carelessness, your Star Origin could directly explode."
Ye Xiu clasped his fists. "Thank you for your concern, senior brothers, but something like that would never happen to me."
Seeing Ye Xiu's determined gaze, the two were taken aback. Why wouldn't this brat listen to advice?
"You really want to go in?" one of them asked scornfully.
"Of course," Ye Xiu affirmed.
The disciple then glanced towards the distance at an inky black boulder.
"That is the Strength Testing Stone. If your strength can reach the ninth heaven of the Star Power Realm, I can let you in," the guarding disciple said mockingly.
Another round of jeering laughter rang out. Ye Xiu was merely at the first heaven of the Star Power Realm. Wanting to demonstrate the strength of the ninth heaven of the Star Power Realm was simply a fantasy.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xiu just said, "Alright."
After speaking, Ye Xiu turned and walked towards the Strength Testing Stone.
He's actually going over!
He's really got guts.
First heaven of the Star Power Realm, unleashing the strength of the ninth heaven of the Star Power Realm - that would take at least 1.8 million jin.
How is that possible?
Ye Xiu stood in front of the Strength Testing Stone, which was even taller than him.
Numerous gazes gathered, ready to watch Ye Xiu's joke.
Ye Xiu lightly clenched his fist and casually threw out a gentle punch.
Boom!
The entire ground violently shook.
An invisible force instantly swept out.
Everyone hurriedly looked over, and when the numbers on the Strength Testing Stone fully appeared, all of them froze in place, mouths agape and eyes wide.
The previously mocking faces instantly stiffened.
The vast square was suddenly deathly silent!
Finally, a trembling voice broke the silence.
"One punch, 2.7 million jin, comparable to the first heaven of the Star Vortex Realm!"
