Chapter 1210 - Chapter 1210 Chapter 498 The Void Changes the List Reputation

Chapter 1210: Chapter 498: The Void Changes the List, Reputation Soars_2 Chapter 1210: Chapter 498: The Void Changes the List, Reputation Soars_2 The Profound Immortal List of the Void Tower corresponds to the 1001st to the 2000th floors, but unlike the top ranks of the True Immortal List who have already ascended more than nine hundred floors, the top rank of the Profound Immortal List has only reached the 862nd floor. By the time one reaches the 800th floor, they already possess the combat power of a Golden Immortal. The leading Profound Immortal, even among the early-stage Golden Immortals, is considered strong, which is already quite an achievement.

As one’s realm grows higher, the possibility of overcoming higher realms in battle decreases exponentially, and the difficulty increases exponentially. For a Profound Immortal to defeat a Golden Immortal is many times harder than for a True Immortal to defeat a Profound Immortal.

Therefore, it is remarkably strong for the top of the Profound Immortal List to have a firm standing among early-stage Golden Immortals.

Even more so for the Golden Immortal List.

Han Yi, who began his challenge of the Profound Immortal Tower layers, didn’t think too much about it. He merely wanted to test his actual combat strength after having perfected his Immortal Body and Immortal Soul through the Profound Immortal Calamity, with his Immortal Power also having improved.

In the first three hundred layers, he faced early-stage Profound Immortals, in the first six hundred layers, he faced seasoned Profound Immortals, and from six hundred to eight hundred layers, he faced peak Profound Immortals.

At first, his progress was extremely fast, but it slowed down later on, and after the 1750th layer, he had to fight seriously in each battle and put forth all his strength to win since the enemies at this stage were all peak Profound Immortals and among the stronger ones at that.

Among these battles, Han Yi had both wins and losses, but even when he lost, he could use the infinite resurrection feature of the Void Tower to find the enemy’s weakness within two or three attempts and then defeat them by targeting it.

Indeed, this was also a fairly obvious shortcoming of the Void Tower: each layer was a cut-off segment of time and space, and although the characters within were alive, to a certain extent they operated like a ‘program.’ In situations where the difference in strength wasn’t too great, trying multiple times to find their weaknesses could turn defeat into victory.

This was why everyone considered the Void Tower to be a place of trial, and the combat achievements within couldn’t be equated with those of the external world.

After reaching the 1790th layer, Han Yi encountered enemies who were among the top even within the peak Profound Immortals, which is why his progress nearly came to a halt. However, after five to ten resurrections, he managed to ‘luckily’ win a round.

At the 1798th layer, he finally ended his ‘level-up journey’ in the Void Tower.

Although he knew that from the 1801st layer onward, he would encounter Golden Immortal level enemies, that was of little significance to him.

He finally managed to test his current level of combat power. He was still within the category of peak Profound Immortals and had barely reached the top tier among them, not exceeding it by much.

Such a level was still a significant distance from Golden Immortal combat power.

Of course, in a life-and-death battle in the outside world, many other factors such as timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony would have to be considered.

This time, he didn’t stay much longer in the Void Mirror but instead stimulated his token with his Immortal Sense, waving up a golden light screen and looking at the Profound Immortal List that manifested on it. Seeing his own position, his face showed a smile of satisfaction.

On the list displayed by the light screen, the name of Han Yi prominently appeared in the sixty-third position.

“To achieve such a rank upon my first entry as a Profound Immortal, I am satisfied.”

“Given time, if I break through to become a seasoned Profound Immortal or even a peak Profound Immortal, I will surely possess true Golden Immortal combat power.”

Packing away the token, he left the Void Mirror with just a thought and returned to the Sky Candle Palace. Then, he transformed into a streak of light, heading toward Xuan Zang Palace.

What he didn’t know was this.

When he climbed onto the Profound Immortal List and broke through all the way to the sixty-third position, the commotion he caused had become the most discussed event in the Age Candle Immortal Court–even eclipsing the actions taken by the Blazing Flame Tao Court externally.

The True Immortals who initially assumed that Han Yi had perished in the Outer Domain Void upon seeing his name drop off the True Immortal List were absolutely dumbfounded to realize that not only had he not fallen, he had directly ascended the Profound Immortal List.

Subsequently, their shock turned to astonishment.

To have departed from the second rank of the True Immortal List and then to have climbed to the sixty-third rank of the Profound Immortal List in less than a year–Han Yi’s speed had completely refreshed the record in the Immortal Court.

The shock among the Profound Immortals of the Immortal Court was no less intense than that of the True Immortals, as they saw a newly advanced Profound Immortal directly break through more than seven hundred layers, firmly possessing the combat power of a peak Profound Immortal and not far from that of a Golden Immortal.

It was madness, truly excessive madness.

Even a small number of Profound Immortals suspected that Han Yi had encountered some kind of heaven-defying opportunity, his realm having already reached the peak of Profound Immortals. Maybe he had just not updated his status within the Immortal Court, and this time, he updated everything at once–stepping down from the True Immortal List and ascending the Profound Immortal List–as such actions had an impure motive.

The Golden Immortals, however, were paying attention because the level Han Yi reached within the Void Tower now posed a threat to the Golden Immortal combat power. Given time, he was bound to hold a position within the Golden Immortal Realm. Paying attention early, appropriately establishing good relations, and avoiding making an enemy of him was what they were considering.

Of course, the Golden Immortals here refer to those below the status of Peak Golden Immortal.

Those Peak Golden Immortals who did not previously know Han Yi rarely appeared within the Void Mirror anymore, as they were not obsessed with the Void Tower, focusing instead on their own paths and the Taiyi Realm. The stir caused by Han Yi, even if noticed by them, was merely a slight surprise and did not cause any significant ripples in their hearts.

However, after this ‘change in the rankings’, Han Yi’s name became widely known both inside and outside the Immortal Court; virtually everyone below the Immortal Monarchs knew of him.

…

Original Art Dojo, atop a certain Immortal Peak.

A speck of Immortal Spirit Light suddenly appeared and condensed into a silhouette cloaked in mysterious robes. If Han Yi were here, he would undoubtedly recognize the figure as Xuan Cheng, the True Immortal with whom he had had several encounters.

At this moment, Xuan Cheng’s eyes still shone like bright stars. Deep within those eyes, immersed in dense Taoism, a vague and enormous shadow could be seen sitting cross-legged. The shadow was ancient and imbued with an even deeper immortal charm.

In the opening and closing of his eyes, he encompassed endless universes.

But at this time, Xuan Cheng had much more on his mind.

The constant tumult in the Immortal Realm made him certain that great changes would accompany the epochal catastrophe.

In light of this situation, he knew he must recover his strength as quickly as possible. At the very least, he needed to return to the strength of an Immortal Monarch before the great changes began.

Therefore, he had decided to prepare for the Profound Immortal Calamity that was to come.

He had just emerged from the Void Mirror, intending to temper his combat power before undertaking the Calamity.

As for his ranking on the True Immortal List, he paid it no mind and had not even looked at it.

As thoughts swirled in his mind, a spark of Spirit Light leapt from the golden token on the Immortal Peak and into his possession. With a puzzled look, Xuan Cheng grabbed it, scanned it with his Immortal Sense, and read the message within.

Following that, he trembled, and his radiant eyes couldn’t help but register a profound shock.

“Han Yi.”

“Directly advancing from the True Immortal List to the Profound Immortal List.”

“Indeed, only such an Ancient God who could enter the Tao in this era, where the Heavenly Tao has been tampered with, could achieve this.”

Actually.

Xuan Cheng had a suspicion within his heart that Han Yi, like himself, was not in his first life but rather an Ancient existence living out a second life after having sealed his own memories in a special way.

He himself, in his previous life, was an Ancient Immortal who had fallen into Reincarnation due to special circumstances and was now living a second life in the eighth era.

And it was highly possible that Han Yi was an Ancient God who had achieved a second life; otherwise, it was impossible for him to have survived the Death Tribulation of an Ancient God.

“It seems that Han Yi has also sensed that a great change is imminent and has broken through a step earlier.”

“I must also hasten.”

Xuan Cheng, now in the Fairy Pavilion, made preparations for the Profound Immortal Calamity.

Of course, with his mysterious origin and profound foundation, whether it was Immortal Spells, skills, or his numerous inheritances, he was unparalleled in the True Immortal Realm. Naturally, he was not worried about the Profound Immortal Calamity; it was just a precaution.

Elsewhere.

Han Yi left the Void Mirror and headed straight for Xuanzang Palace.

Now his authority was equivalent to that of a Golden Immortal, and within Xuanzang Palace, he could access floors from the thirtieth to the thirty-ninth.

Moreover, his Free Cosmic Mysterious Sutra was still only at the Profound Immortal section. To be cautious, he certainly needed to obtain the Golden Immortal section of the Immortal Spell in advance.

This time, after transcending the Immortal Tribulation in Penglai Immortal Realm, he was able to cultivate the Immortal Spell because he had previously held Profound Immortal Authority and obtained the Profound Immortal section of the Immortal Spell in advance.

A step ahead is steps ahead.

Beyond that, there were many secrets concerning the Chaotic Demon Area, the Nine Realms, the Extreme Ancient, the Ancient, the Wisdom Realm, and even Chaos itself.
