Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 345: Chapter 162: Top A _2

Shen Yuan thought of the legend recounted by Gong Buyu in later generations, where the Supreme Taoist had refused to become the master of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda.

Rejecting the opportunity to control an Immortal Artifact was so shocking to those in later generations, let alone in the era of cultivation prosperity thousands of years before.

Thus, Shen Yuan made up his mind to spread the story of his refusal to become the master of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda.

He had initially thought it would be a troublesome task, as willingly telling others that he had declined such a prestigious status was hardly credible.

Who would have thought that Yu Ke intentionally made things difficult, providing Shen Yuan with the chance to announce the information to the public?

The subsequent use of intimidation by Yu Ke and the blatant use of force by Yu Changming to suppress through power became the most crucial part of this legend.

When Shen Yuan walked out of the range of Primal Chaos Energy holding Yu Changming’s head, his refusal to become the master of an immortal artifact and slaying a Void Refining powerful expert directly caused the task completion rate to break through to Grade A.

And as time passed, the influence confined to the Ingenious Tiny World was still gradually fermenting.

The chain reaction brought about by Yu Ke’s fleeing even pushed the task completion rate to Intermediate Grade A.

It must be said, humans are always greedy.

When the task progress was stuck at the Upper Grade B, Shen Yuan hoped it could break through to Grade A.

Once it stalled at Intermediate Grade A, Shen Yuan wished it could reach the Upper Grade A Level to yield the best outcome.

“But now, having already refused to become the master of an immortal artifact and having taken advantage of the situation to slay a Void Refining True Monarch, almost everything that could be done had been pushed to the extreme.

What else is there that can further enhance the legendary tale?

Or should I find an opportunity to slay another Void Refining expert?”

Shen Yuan’s gaze wandered unconsciously toward several Void Refining True Monarchs.

The Void Refining True Monarchs who caught his stare felt a chill in their hearts and watched Shen Yuan with eyes full of wariness.

In front of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, an eerie standoff prevailed.

Meanwhile, in the three major markets outside the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, the act of Shen Yuan slaying a Void Refining True Monarch had completely ignited everything.

A Void Refining True Monarch lived for over five thousand years, and with life-extension techniques, could even live to six thousand, witnessing the ebb and flow of the world, practically a top figure standing at the pinnacle of the Primal Chaos Realm.

Keep in mind that even those high and mighty 72 Blessed Lands might not have a Void Refining True Monarch in each generation.

Even in the ancient grotto heavens with long legacies, a Void Refining True Monarch could become a figure like a headmaster or a Supreme Elder, revered and supported by sect disciples.

Such significant figures were so elusive that ordinary cultivators found it extremely difficult to see one, let alone witness the fall of a Void Refining True Monarch.

In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, a Void Refining True Monarch was already a living legend, and Shen Yuan, who had the power to slay a Void Refining True Monarch while still in the Qi training stage, had already surpassed legend.

Yu Ke slandered Shen Yuan for employing devious strategies during the trial? Harbouring ill intentions and thus refusing to become the master of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda?

In the face of the accomplishments of felling a Void Refining True Monarch, all of Yu Ke’s words became hollow mockery, and even the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda was relegated to merely laying the foundation of Shen Yuan’s fame.

“Shen Yuan is undoubtedly the foremost among the younger generation!”

“Defeating sages and princes, rejecting immortal artifact mastership, killing a Void Refining True Monarch, no matter what title of Taoist or sacred sage they bear, all seem meaningless before Shen Yuan’s achievements.”

“Shen Yuan might hail from the Falling Clouds Sect, a little-known minor sect, but after all, it follows a prestigious lineage, and Shen Yuan’s achievements definitely qualify him to become the Falling Clouds Sect Taoist.”

“Falling Clouds Taoist? Such a title is still too common for Shen Yuan, utterly incapable of reflecting his fierce accomplishments.”

“Without the inheritance of a sacred land, one cannot rashly bestow the title of sacred sage either.”

In the major markets, many cultivators had begun discussing what title Shen Yuan should carry as he traveled through the Primal Chaos Realm in the future.

In the face of these indisputable feats, even the disciples from major sects in the Chong Yue and Listen to the Tide markets had to lower their proud heads.

Manager Wan stood in front of the All-Things Trade Association’s doorway, staring blankly at the figure in white before the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, his mind involuntarily flashing back to a transaction from a year and a half ago.

He had successfully traded several unsellable copies of the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Cultivation Method for an ancient profound ice, gaining the favor of Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens and becoming the talk of the Trade Association.

It was, by far, what Manager Wan considered the most successful transaction of the past decades.

Moreover, Manager Wan knew that after the deal was finalized within the Trade Association, Hoe Changzai from the Tianyun Sect took the initiative to trade “Ziwei Enclosure Fortune-telling” with that distinguished guest.

“Ziwei Enclosure Fortune-telling” is rare and valuable, incomparable to the other Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Cultivation Methods. Hoe Changzai could have sold it for an extremely high price in exchange for the ancient profound ice, but he chose to give it away instead, just to foster good karma.

Such an act, in Manager Wan’s view, was incomprehensibly foolish.

Foregoing a precious “Ziwei Enclosure Fortune-telling” to invest in a disciple from an obscure and little-known sect, it was no wonder that Tianyun Sect, once renowned on par with the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, had fallen so far.

However, in just over a year, that obscure sect disciple not only reached the highest level of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda but also forcefully slain a legendary Void Refining True Monarch.

It was foreseeable that, as long as he did not die prematurely, he would inevitably ascend to the Peak Stage.

This kind of good karma with a future powerful figure was something that no amount of precious treasures could exchange for.
