At this moment, in the ancient immortal palace, and even for people tens of thousands of miles away, they all raised their heads in shock, gazing at the heaven-shattering phenomenon.
"This... what a terrifying phenomenon, could it be that Senior Ye has broken through to the Saint realm?!"
"It must be! I can feel it from so far away, Senior Ye's supreme sword momentum!"
"Senior Ye is mighty! A Saint at twenty years old! I'm witnessing history!"
"Hahaha! To be born in this era with Senior Ye is truly supreme honor!"
Countless people were discussing Ye Yun. As for Ye Yun himself, he was at the center of the phenomenon, carefully feeling his cultivation multiplying geometrically within his body.
As expected, the Dao Building realm and the Saint realm were completely different worlds. One was the mortal realm, and the other was a realm with one foot in the immortal.
After carefully sensing for a while, Ye Yun couldn't help but sigh with admiration.
"As expected of a Saint... if I were to face Kun Yuan, who is in the Half-Saint realm, at this moment, I could crush him with a single palm."
If the strength of the Dao Building realm was a lake, the Saint realm was an endless sea.
Coupled with various immortal-grade profound skills and even immortal-slaying treasures, he alone would likely be enough to sweep across the entire Primordial Continent, overwhelming billions of cultivators.
However, before Ye Yun could fully appreciate the wonders of the Saint realm, the system's voice unexpectedly rang in his ears.
[Notice: The trial version of the Extraordinary Master has ended. Updating to the official version for you!]
[Notice: The official version of the Extraordinary Master has been updated. The update includes the following!]
[First: The return limit has been increased from ten thousand times to one hundred thousand times. The first return after the update, in addition to cultivation returns, will definitely grant a one hundred thousand times return!]
[Second: The system has activated a new function, the Eye of Destiny: It can scan others' cultivation, skills, and Destiny Points, etc.!]
[Third: The system has activated a new function, the Master-Disciple Space: You can teleport bound disciples to a special space to foster mutual affection!]
[Fourth: The system has activated a new function, the Trial Tower: Bound disciples can cultivate in the Trial Tower, where time flows slower, and receive additional rewards from the system!]
[Other updates: UI interface optimization, adding an "Immortal Divine Ability" column to the information interface...]
"It... upgraded???"
Ye Yun was truly surprised. It seemed that not only had his own strength undergone a seismic shift, but the system had also become incomparably stronger.
First was the information panel. What appeared before him was the newly updated interface.
[Name: Ye Yun]
[Cultivation: Saint First Level]
[Bloodline: Ice Phoenix Bloodline]
[Physique: Exquisite Immortal Body]
[Comprehension: Immortal Grade (Reached the limit of this realm; can be further improved after ascending to the Heavenly Domain)]
[Special Divine Ability: Root Sword Intent]
[Immortal Divine Ability: None yet]
[Destiny Points: ∞ (Determined by your significance to the world. Higher values mean more importance to the world. Maximum is 999)]
First, the physique changed from Exquisite Saint Body to Exquisite Immortal Body. This was likely the effect of the Supreme Divine Lotus. After all, that item was said to shape an immortal body. He just wasn't sure what the benefits of the Exquisite Immortal Body were yet.
The rest included new additions like Special Divine Ability, Immortal Divine Ability, and this peculiar Destiny Point.
Ye Yun was momentarily bewildered by this, but he quickly shifted his attention to the specific updated functions.
"A return limit of one hundred thousand times... that's a bit outrageous."
Setting aside other things, just the increase in the return limit to one hundred thousand times was enough to increase his rate of power growth by countless times.
"And the first return is guaranteed to be one hundred thousand times? Then I'll need to find something precious to bestow..."
Ye Yun pondered for a moment but couldn't think of anything to bestow. So, he decided to look at other things first.
Looking at the Master-Disciple Space, Ye Yun tried calling out.
"System, enter Master-Disciple Space!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Yun felt his vision blur. When it cleared, he was stunned by the sight before him.
What greeted his eyes was a space that resembled a paradise.
On the clear, azure grasslands, there were flowers, trees, streams, and hills. Apart from the space being only about ten square kilometers, everything looked exactly like the outside world, almost perfect.
"This function... is quite something."
After walking around the Master-Disciple Space for a few laps, Ye Yun sincerely exclaimed. As expected of the system, it could achieve such incredible things.
"It's truly a nice sanctuary. I can bring Xueyan and the others here later... Huh?"
While contemplating, Ye Yun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly remembered something important.
"Speaking of which, wouldn't this mean I can bring them into this Master-Disciple Space and take them to the Heavenly Domain together?"
If it were other storage spaces, even special rings that could store living beings, they wouldn't be able to bypass the Heavenly Domain's rules during ascension. But this was a function provided by the system.
Ye Yun had no doubt that the system's origin was likely above the Heavenly Domain, so bypassing the rules during ascension should not be a problem...
But whether it succeeded or not, it was worth a try!
Afterward, as Ye Yun explored the Master-Disciple Space, he discovered a teleportation gate with a stone tablet beside it.
"Trial Tower..."
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow. Clearly, this was another new function provided by the system.
Although it was marked as being prepared for disciples, Ye Yun couldn't help but step into the teleportation gate. A voice echoed in his ears.
[Detected Host entering the Trial Tower. You can choose to enter the Trial Tower or the Trial Tower management interface.]
Ye Yun pondered for a moment and said, "Just... enter the Trial Tower first."
[Notice: As the Host, you will not receive rewards from the Trial Tower!]
As the words fell, before Ye Yun could react, he found himself in a barren land.
After a few seconds, ten blue figures wielding different weapons materialized around him. Their cultivation was the same as his.
Immediately, those figures attacked him. Surprisingly, although they were automatically generated, their combat power was quite high.
After just a few exchanges, Ye Yun had to get serious. Only by unleashing his immortal-grade sword techniques, movement skills, and even root sword intent was he able to defeat the blue figures.
Afterward, he was prompted to advance to the second level. After another fierce battle, he reached the third level, then the fourth... until the seventh level, where ten terrifying figures, each possessing root sword intent, root saber intent, root spear intent, and so on, appeared and directly overwhelmed Ye Yun, killing him.
[Notice: You have died. Would you like to restart or exit the Trial Tower?]
Ye Yun thought for a moment and said, "Exit the Trial Tower and enter the management interface."
As the words were spoken, he was teleported to a completely enclosed space. In front of him were several projections, detailing various information about the Trial Tower.
For example, the Trial Tower had a total of nine floors, with different difficulty settings. Each floor passed would yield different rewards.
"This place... is quite interesting."
Ye Yun was very surprised. After all, with such a place for trials, he wouldn't have to worry about Xueyan and the others not having a place to hone their combat prowess.
Before long, Ye Yun's gaze fell upon one of the settings.
[Trial Tower current difficulty level: Standard]
After flipping through it, he saw that the difficulty settings for the Trial Tower were Easy, Standard, Difficult, Extremely Difficult, and Hell.
What he had just experienced was only the Standard level...
Ye Yun looked at the settings menu and after a moment of thought, he silently pushed the difficulty setting to the very right, Hell mode.
