The headquarters of Tianzhu Mountain is located in a world ruled by a realm master.
Within this world, a very special training ground has been built, called Falling Wind Valley!
This Falling Wind Valley was a training ground meticulously crafted by a World Lord-level expert who was extremely proficient in the fundamental laws of wind, at great expense from Tianzhu Mountain. It is of great help to martial artists and spiritual masters in comprehending and improving their wind domain.
That realm lord-level expert had a profound understanding of the fundamental laws of wind. The training ground he personally created contained his deep understanding of the fundamental laws of wind, and it could be said to be one of the most suitable places in the entire Golden Lion Starfield for comprehending the wind domain.
Falling Wind Valley itself is a rather large canyon, surrounded by steep rock walls covered with traces of wind erosion.
Inside the valley, cyan air currents swirled everywhere.
The blue air currents weaved back and forth in the canyon, outlining ever-changing wind trails.
Some were like a gentle breeze, soft and warm; some were like swirling whirlwinds, spinning in place; some even formed terrifying hurricanes, howling and sweeping across every part of the canyon.
This was not ordinary air movement, but a manifestation of the fundamental law of wind condensed by that world lord-level powerhouse with astonishing methods.
Meanwhile, in many locations within this canyon, numerous powerful individuals are currently focused on comprehending the Wind Domain.
Some of them sat cross-legged on the rocks, closed their eyes and meditated, with a faint blue light flowing around their bodies;
Some stood in the wind, letting the blue air currents impact their bodies, thus honing their perception of the laws of wind.
Others moved swiftly through the canyon, their forms elusive, as if they had merged with the blue air currents.
Most of these powerful individuals are at the cosmic level and have been cultivating for a very long time.
There are also a few domain lords who occupy the best locations in the canyon;
As for the number of stars, they are the fewest, appearing extremely rare among the population.
After all, there are not many geniuses in Tianzhu Mountain who can enter the realm of domains at the Hengxing level, let alone super geniuses who have comprehended the wind domain.
In one area within Falling Wind Valley, a figure dressed in a blue battle suit was quietly cultivating.
This person was tall and slender with flowing blue hair. The aura emanating from him was not strong, clearly only at the Hengxing level. He was none other than Terence, the super genius who joined Tianzhu Mountain with Lu Qingshan.
At this moment, a faint blue light was emanating from Terence's body. The light was soft and agile, echoing a strange fluctuation within Falling Wind Valley.
Even around him, the azure energy was constantly changing shape.
Some of the blue auras that approached him would automatically become docile and stop their rampage; others would swirl around his body as if submitting to him.
He sat there quietly, cross-legged, letting the hurricane howl past him, remaining completely still.
Suddenly————
"Um?"
While Terence was meditating, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, like a lightning bolt streaking across the night, instantly illuminating the fog in his mind: "So that's how it is! So that's how it is!"
At that moment, the questions that had troubled him for so long were finally answered.
The mysteries of the Wind Realm unfolded in Terence's mind, making previously vague points clear and allowing his fragmented understanding to merge and connect.
"Hahaha!"
Feeling his wind domain grow even stronger, Terence finally showed excitement on his face: "I've finally broken through!"
"After hundreds of years of arduous training, I have finally entered the fourth level of the Wind Domain!"
Terrence was undoubtedly very excited at this moment!
Centuries of arduous practice, countless days and nights of contemplation, and repeated failures and setbacks have all transformed into the joy of success at this moment.
At that moment, he even felt his body become lighter, as if the blue aura was cheering for him.
Keep in mind that more than 600 years have passed since he joined Tianzhu Mountain!
Six hundred years is a rather long time for a star-level powerhouse.
Over these six hundred years, he watched as some of the other top-tier elites broke through to higher levels, some stagnated in their cultivation, some perished during cultivation missions, and some even broke through to the cosmic level.
But no matter what, he continued to cultivate diligently, day after day, year after year, without ever slacking off.
Today, he has finally succeeded in entering the fourth level of the Wind Realm.
"Hahaha! Liu Guangyuan, I knew it! Sooner or later, I would completely surpass you!"
Thinking about this, Terence quickly recalled some of his less-than-pleasant past experiences.
You should know that after he entered the second level of the domain, he had been working hard to become a top-level elite.
Under normal circumstances, if a mentalist can reach the third level of the domain, they already have a high chance of becoming a top-tier elite.
Because mentalists have a unique advantage when challenging the Trial Tower, a mentalist at the third level of the Domain has enough strength to maintain their position as the number one ranked elite.
After all, hundreds of years ago, Paritch had already entered the third level of the domain and then won the first place in the overall ranking of first-level elites a hundred times in a row, which is how he successfully became a special-level elite of Tianzhu Mountain.
Terence originally wanted to replicate Paritch's path to becoming a top-tier elite, and it went exceptionally smoothly at first.
About four hundred years ago, Terence entered the third level of the Wind Domain through diligent cultivation.
After that, just like Palicki had done before, he began to consistently rank first in the overall elite rankings.
Every time the rankings were updated, his name was at the top of the list, which boosted his confidence, as if the status of a top-tier elite was within his grasp.
But just after he achieved the number one ranking among the top elites ninety-two times in a row, an unexpected event suddenly occurred!
Liu Guangyuan, who had been stuck at the second level of the Domain, suddenly broke through to the third level of the Domain!
It should be noted that Liu Guangyuan was the only super genius who was able to pass the tenth level of the Trial Tower when he was at the second level of the Domain.
Apart from Liu Guangyuan, even other mentalists who had entered the second level of the domain (including Terence) were unable to pass the tenth floor of the Trial Tower.
This is why, as soon as Liu Guangyuan broke through, his overall ranking among the first-level elites surpassed Terence's.
It should be noted that Terence was only eight years away from becoming a top-tier elite of Tianzhu Mountain, but he ultimately failed because of Liu Guangyuan's appearance!
For a period of time afterward, Liu Guangyuan became the person who consistently ranked first in the overall elite rankings.
His name hangs high at the top of the list, just like Terence before him, steadily moving towards the goal of becoming a top-tier elite.
Terence was naturally indignant in the face of this situation.
After a long period of diligent training, he finally surpassed Liu Guangyuan, who had held the top spot in the overall rankings for over sixty consecutive years, and became the new number one in the overall rankings of the first-level elites.
And so, Terence and Liu Guangyuan continued their pursuit for over two hundred years.
For more than two hundred years, their rankings have alternated, with one in first place for a few years and the other in the next, neither willing to admit defeat.
All the elites of Tianzhu Mountain were watching their protracted contest, discussing and speculating about who would ultimately emerge victorious.
In fact, if either of them were willing to yield, over the course of more than two hundred years, as long as one of them achieved first place a hundred times and became a top-tier elite, the other could then take first place, and both of them could become top-tier elites of Tianzhu Mountain.
But neither of them wanted the other to become a top-tier elite first, so they continued to entangle themselves.
Ninety-eight years ago, Liu Guangyuan made a major breakthrough in combat techniques and directly passed the eleventh level of the Trial Tower.
From that time on, Terence was never able to outmaneuver Liu Guangyuan.
To this day, Liu Guangyuan has once again achieved the top ranking in the overall elite rankings for ninety-seven consecutive times. If all goes well, he will be able to become a special-grade elite of Tianzhu Mountain in two more years.
"Now that I've reached the fourth level of the Domain, I can easily pass the twelfth floor of the Trial Tower and become a top-tier elite!"
Thinking of this, a confident smile quickly appeared on Terence's lips.
There is a world of difference between the fourth level of the Domain and the third level of the Domain. With his current strength, passing the twelfth level of the Trial Tower is just a piece of cake.
He can become a top-tier elite at any time if he wants, without having to struggle for rankings like before.
With that thought in mind, Terence immediately left Falling Wind Valley and headed to the Trial Tower that first-level elites usually had to challenge.
In front of the Trial Pagoda.
At this moment, a number of top-level elites from Tianzhu Mountain had gathered here. They were huddled together in twos and threes, some talking in hushed tones, others looking up at the blue stone tablet in front of them, each with a different expression.
Because their rankings over the past year are about to be updated, which will affect the amount of resources they have in the coming year and directly impact their cultivation progress, they naturally want to know the results as soon as possible.
Suddenly, a streak of light approached from afar, drawing a graceful arc in the air before landing in front of the Trial Pagoda.
As the light faded, a figure with flowing blue hair was revealed—Terence, who had come from Falling Wind Valley.
"It's Terence!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"He actually came too? Could it be that he's confident he can surpass Liu Guangyuan this time?" someone whispered, their tone tinged with doubt.
"Probably not! Liu Guangyuan has already passed the eleventh level of the Trial Tower. As long as he doesn't fall too far behind Terence in cultivation tasks, there's no way he can be surpassed by Terence!" Another person shook his head and gave his analysis.
Hearing the whispers around him, Terence couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
These people didn't know that he had already broken through to the fourth level of the Domain in Falling Wind Valley. They thought he would compete with Liu Guangyuan for rankings as before, but what they didn't know was that he was completely different now.
At that moment, he suddenly remembered the days when he and Liu Guangyuan were chasing each other.
Now, the outcome between him and Liu Guangyuan has been decided.
Just as Terence was about to venture into the Trial Tower, he was suddenly stopped by Liu Guangyuan.
"Terrence!"
Liu Guangyuan smiled, but his voice held a hint of provocation: "In two more years, I'll be able to become a top-tier elite. With your strength then, you'll be able to retain your position as number one among the top-tier elites!"
His words, seemingly congratulating Terence, were actually a boast that he was about to become a top-tier elite.
His meaning was clear: You've been fighting for hundreds of years and still haven't beaten me. Now that I'm leaving, it's your turn to be number one.
"Oh!"
Upon hearing Liu Guangyuan's words, Terence couldn't help but scoff, and then stepped into the Trial Tower ahead.
After entering the Trial Tower, Terence put on the silver consciousness-sensing helmet and was then teleported to the eleventh level of the Trial Tower.
As soon as Terence entered this space, a hundred Zerglings appeared before him.
He had been stuck on this level for over four hundred years, but after entering the fourth level of the Wind Domain, killing these first-tier Celestial-level Ziqian Wolves was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables for him.
His figure moved freely among the snakes, as smoothly as a fish swimming in water.
Azure light emanated from his body, each beam transforming into a sharp blade that precisely pierced the vital points of the myriad serpents.
One head, two heads, three heads—in less than a moment, all one hundred of the Thousand-Headed Serpents were killed.
After killing all the Ziqian Wanshe on the eleventh floor, Terence was naturally teleported to the twelfth floor of the Trial Tower.
The opponents on the twelfth floor of the Trial Tower are one hundred Celestial Star Level 1 wolves, whose strength is extremely terrifying. However, even a martial artist who has entered the fourth level of the Domain can pass this level, let alone a mentalist like him who has an advantage in group battles.
Ultimately, Terrence failed to overcome this hurdle!
It's not that he couldn't overcome the challenge, but that he chose not to.
After killing ninety-nine wolves, Terence suddenly recalled Liu Guangyuan's smile from just now.
"Liu Guangyuan, do you want me to endure another hundred years?"
A hint of amusement flashed in Terence's eyes: "Then, I'll ask you to endure another hundred years!"
Thinking of this, Terence stopped attacking and resisting, letting the last celestial-level first-tier wolf pounce on him and tear his body apart with its sharp claws.
After being killed, Terence was quickly kicked out of the Trial Tower.
He then went directly to the entrance of the Trial Tower and waited for the rankings to be updated with the other level one elites.
Because he knew very well that there was going to be a good show to watch.
