Chapter 170 Ch-170: Immortal's Gaze
A few moments ago
The entire place fell deathly silent, and the sound of rough breathing could be heard when someone shouted at the top of his voice.
"How is this possible?" a man exclaimed from within the crowd, as the 50th floor was covered in an orange glow.
"He's scaling that tower so quickly, it's like he's not even breaking a sweat!" exclaimed someone from the crowd.
"Pinch me, am I dreaming?" said a person in the crowd. Someone obliged, but he didn't feel a thing, lost in a daze as he stared at the orange light.
"Even Sect Master Hui Mei took hours to do it, and she's at the Golden Core Realm," added another person from the crowd.
"That's true. When that guy entered the tower, I sensed he wasn't even at the Golden Core Realm. How can he climb so high at such a fast pace?" questioned someone else.
As the crowd marveled at the unbelievable sight, Wu Jing, Feng Mei, Tang, and Hui Mei couldn't believe their eyes.
"Impossible! How can some rogue cultivator achieve what my master couldn't?" Tang Ning stuttered, struggling to accept such an illogical feat.
*********************
"Princess Wu Jing, do you know anything about him?" Hui Mei asked Wu Jing, who wore a shocked expression. Wu Jing snapped out of her daze and looked at Hui Mei with curiosity.
"Hmm, why do you ask, Sect Master?" Wu Jing inquired curiously.
"Perhaps you didn't sense it, but I could feel sword intent from his body when he entered the tower. At first, I thought I was mistaken, but now it seems I wasn't. If he doesn't belong to any sect, I might recruit him into our sect. He's a sword cultivator, and it could be beneficial for him. I might even take him as my second personal disciple," Hui Mei explained. She believed Wang Ming must be a sword cultivator, considering the presence of sword intent. In her view, taking Wang Ming into their sect would significantly enhance their strength. Tang Ning, hearing this, was extremely shocked and looked at her master in disbelief.
"Oh, I think it's not possible," Wu Jing said, glancing at Feng Mei. Honestly, Wu Jing was still upset about what Wang Ming had done to her, but she couldn't take any action due to that recording. Observing Wang Ming's strength, her thoughts began to shift.
"Why is that not possible?" Hui Mei asked, her forehead furrowing in confusion.
"Sect Master, he's a Dual Cultivator and belongs to the same sect as mine, the Yang-Yin sect," Feng Mei, who was watching from the sidelines, interjected. She was also astonished at how effortlessly Wang Ming reached the fiftieth floor. While she knew Wang Ming was strong, she hadn't expected him to be this formidable.
"W-What? He's a Dual Cultivator?" Hui Mei stuttered, as if she had heard something absurd. She had never encountered or heard of any Dual Cultivator possessing sword intent. Although the disciples and elders in her sect might have higher cultivation, if they were to face others from different sects, they could lose. Hui Mei was shocked, and a hint of red colored her face as she recalled Wang Ming's handsome face.
"I see, it's a pity," Hui Mei said with a sigh, much to Tang Ning's relief. She didn't want another person becoming her master's disciple, as it would mean her master's attention would be divided between the two. Tang Ning was also shocked to learn that Wang Ming was a Dual Cultivator.
"Master, even though he has sword intent, his cultivation is lower compared to most," Tang Ning reminded. She knew that Wang Ming was deliberately suppressing his cultivation.
"Tang Ning, did you not pay attention? He was hiding his true cultivation. Think for a second; can someone with lower cultivation reach the fiftieth floor? He must be at least higher than the Golden Core Realm," Hui Mei stated, baffling Tang Ning.
"W-What?!" Tang Ning stuttered. Her eyes were filled with disbelief as she heard that Wang Ming had even higher cultivation than Hui Mei and appeared younger than her.
"Heavens, we're the same age. How is he so formidable?" Tang Ning cried inwardly in shock.
"Sect Master, you are wrong. He indeed has higher cultivation, but his cultivation is at the 10th Stage of the Golden Core Realm and not above the Golden Core Realm," Feng Mei informed, shocking Hui Mei.
"Eh?" Hui Mei's eyes were full of disbelief when she heard this.
'How is this possible? He's only slightly higher in cultivation than me. How did he reach the fiftieth floor so fast?' Hui Mei was completely stupefied. She had thought he would be above the Golden Core Realm but did not expect him to still be in the Golden Core Realm. She was sure that even though Wang Ming had higher cultivation than her, she could lure him by enticing him with powerful techniques, thinking he relied on high cultivation. Now she guessed he possessed higher-ranked techniques.
"I-I see. He must be a strong core disciple, as expected of the Yang-Yin sect, cultivating such a disciple in secret," Hui Mei muttered. Even Tang Ning and Wu Jing thought the same, but Feng Mei had a weird look on her face.
"Cough, Sect Master, you are mistaken. He is a new disciple who just joined a few weeks ago," Feng Mei informed, and the three women looked at her in shock.
"WHAT!" all three exclaimed at the same time.
'Heavens, what kind of luck does the Yang-Yin sect have to get someone so talented? Is it because they have more beautiful females for Dual Cultivation that he went there? My sect, even though it's not a Dual Cultivation sect, has beautiful females who would be more than happy to Dual Cultivate with him. Heck, even I could offer myself,' Hui Mei thought in her mind.
'Maybe if I become his partner, then I will be able to defeat those annoying pests. If he's not satisfied with me, there are countless beautiful maids in the palace,' Wu Jing thought in her mind.
While the girls were lost in their own thoughts, a person exclaimed from the crowd, catching their attention.
"Look, he's on the 51st floor!" exclaimed a man as he observed the orange glow on the 51st floor.
"Do you think he'll be able to?" asked another person.
"I'm not sure. He completed the first fifty floors within minutes, so completing more floors is not impossible," said a man within the crowd as he looked up at the tower.
"Huh!?" a man muttered, question marks appearing above his head as he witnessed the next scene in utter disbelief.
The lights kept lighting up higher floors as time passed, and within a single minute, the 99th floor was lit.
"Hey, am I in some kind of illusion or something?" said a man with a bewildered look.
"H-Hey, why do the floors from 51st to 99th seem easier compared to the ones before?" asked another, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
"Gulp, just a minute passed, and he already passed this many floors. According to rumors, shouldn't the enemies he faces be two realms higher than the challenger?" asked another man in a daze.
"Yes, but why does it seem the higher floors are easier? He literally took 12 minutes on the lower floors, but on the higher floors, he took only a minute. How is this even possible?" a cultivator said, his jaws hitting the ground. The onlookers were in a similar state of disbelief.
Inside Wang Ming's Mindspace:
A huge golden pupil, the size of a planet, opened and looked at Wang Ming's unconscious body. It muttered, "Hmm, I will lend a hand this time." The voice spoke as patterns near the eye exploded, and dark colors shot towards Wang Ming.
Back to Wang Ming:
The old man gulped a mouthful of saliva as he saw Wang Ming standing silently, covered in a black aura. When Wang Ming's golden eyes met the old man's gaze, he trembled.
'What the hell is this golden eye? It makes my soul tremble,' the old man's body shook.contemporary romance
Wang Ming then looked at the beasts and gazed at them with his golden eyes, rendering them unable to move and some of them even exploded into blood mist
"How could just a gaze kill so many beasts that are twice as powerful as him? Even in the upper heavens, I have not seen something like this," the old man wondered, a bit of apprehension in his eyes.
BOOOOOOM!
Wang Ming took the posture of releasing his attack and unleashed the World Slicing Strike, but this time it was much more powerful and wider than the ones he used before. The beasts, unable to move out of the way, were completely exploded into a mist of blood.
After all the beasts were vaporized, the black aura around him disappeared, and his golden eyes vanished.
"Ugh," Wang Ming clutched his head, experiencing a headache at the moment
