Chapter 580: Changes in the Heaven-Reaching Tower

Heaven-Reaching Tower!

When Lin Chen appeared anonymously at the Heaven-Reaching Tower square again, he discovered that the number of martial artists in the square was much higher than before.

Furthermore, the stages of these martial artists in the square were inconsistent; there were First-Stage Innate, Second-Stage Innate, and even Third-Stage Innate...

"Has the Heaven-Reaching Tower changed?"

Lin Chen searched the square with his gaze. The entire square was several times larger than before, and the Heaven-Reaching Tower at the very front was no longer hidden in the clouds and mist, but stood at the very front of the square.

With a flash of his figure, Lin Chen landed on a jade stele in the square. There were more than a dozen such jade steles in the square, and in front of each jade stele were several martial artists watching.

Seeing Lin Chen appear on the side, the several martial artists watching the jade stele all looked over. When they saw the black robe on Lin Chen's body, there was a look of dread in their eyes, and they all moved away some distance.

Before entering the square, they had heard from the elders in their clan that in front of the Heaven-Reaching Tower square, they should not offend those martial artists wearing black robes if they could avoid it.

Those qualified to wear black robes were all powerful figures who had once won first place on the Martial Arts Mountain.

The black robe was the privilege of the strongest figure who had won first place on the Martial Arts Mountain.

This black robe could cover others' spiritual sense probing and could also block the line of sight. To outsiders, Lin Chen under the black robe was just a shadow, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Lin Chen looked at the jade stele. When he saw the names displayed on the jade stele, he understood why these people were gathered in front of the jade stele.

This jade stele recorded the ranking of martial artists who broke into the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

Lin Chen scanned it and discovered that his name was no longer on the list.

The top one hundred had already changed hands.

But what shocked Lin Chen even more was that besides their names, these top one hundred martial artists also had their stages displayed.

The top seventy were all Sixth-Stage Innate martial artists, and the ones behind were all Fifth-Stage Innate.

Seeing this list, after Lin Chen was shocked, he also had doubts. Only those who had won first place on the Martial Arts Mountain could enter the Heaven-Reaching Tower to challenge. Even if the Martial Arts Mountain produced one first place every two years on average, there shouldn't be so many Sixth-Stage Innate and Fifth-Stage Innate martial artists, right?

From Fifth-Stage Innate to Sixth-Stage Innate, even if it was a generation of thirty years, among the Sixth-Stage Innate martial artists of the same period, there were only twenty or so who had won first place on the Martial Arts Mountain. How could there be so many Sixth-Stage Innate on the list?

He was still a powerful figure who had reached the top of the Martial Arts Mountain first, and had fallen early.

Lin Chen moved his gaze away from the jade stele and looked at the several martial artists beside him, opening his mouth: "Several brothers, this junior wants to ask, has the rule of the Heaven-Reaching Tower changed?"

Hearing Lin Chen's inquiry, the several martial artists on the side looked at each other. One of the slightly older Second-Stage Innate martial artists took over the conversation: "Your Excellency should have been in seclusion for several years, right?"

"That's right."

Lin Chen nodded. Counting the time he spent in the Thousand Fold Secret Realm, it had indeed been three years.

"As early as a year ago, the rules of the Heaven-Reaching Tower changed. It is no longer the case that only martial artists who reached the top of the Martial Arts Mountain first can enter. As long as you are an Innate martial artist and under a hundred years old, you can break into the tower. But if you fail to break into the tower, you cannot continue for a month..."

With the other party's introduction, Lin Chen also had a relatively detailed understanding of the rule changes of the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

The Heaven-Reaching Tower abolished the qualification that only those who reached the top of the Martial Arts Mountain first could challenge. As long as you are an Innate martial artist under a hundred years old, you can break into the tower.

After this rule changed, many Fifth-Stage and Sixth-Stage Innate powerful figures began to break into the tower, and those who had originally reached the top of the Martial Arts Mountain first and left rankings in the Heaven-Reaching Tower had all their rankings squeezed out.

"Then are there any changes inside the Heaven-Reaching Tower?"

Lin Chen asked again. According to the current list, it was almost decided by stage, which seemed inconsistent with the original intention of the Heaven-Reaching Tower's creation.

The original Heaven-Reaching Tower was more like a kind of advancement of the Martial Arts Mountain. It was just that the Martial Arts Mountain was for those below the Innate Stage, or those who had just entered the Innate Stage, while the Heaven-Reaching Tower was for the Innate Stage.

Both were to select martial arts geniuses and give them martial arts rewards.

Although being able to step into the Sixth-Stage Innate already indicated that they were geniuses, compared with the original rules, it did not give the younger generation a chance to stand out.

With the same martial arts talent, just because they were born a few decades later, they had no chance to enter the top hundred of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, which was not a kind of regret.

"The Heaven-Reaching Tower has indeed changed, but we don't know the specific changes. We were also able to enter after the rules changed. We challenged several times and were all in the first ten floors."

The man felt a bit embarrassed in his words. After all, they were able to come here because of the reason that the Heaven-Reaching Tower changed its qualifications, and they didn't know what the situation was in the Heaven-Reaching Tower before.

Even the changes in the Heaven-Reaching Tower were just heard from others.

"Thank you for telling me."

Lin Chen nodded and cupped his fists to express his gratitude. Just as he was about to head to break into the tower, a commotion suddenly appeared in the crowd. He looked in the direction of the commotion and saw a middle-aged man appear in front of the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

"It's the Young Sect Master of the Creation Gate."

"This one should already be at the peak of the Fourth-Stage Innate, right?"

"I remember half a year ago, this Young Sect Master came to break into the tower and killed his way into the top one hundred, but it's a pity that he was squeezed out by someone two months ago."

"If this Young Sect Master enters the top hundred this time, I'm afraid he will be the true number one of the Fourth-Stage Innate in the Yan Imperial Dynasty." ===== CHAPTER 581 =====
