The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 1640 - 1641: Challenging the Seventh Floor

Once inside the hall, Ye Mo immediately noticed that the center of the Hall of Five Elements was hollow, appearing as a circular shape. Looking up, he could see a total of seven layers.

However, most of the newcomers were concentrated between the second and third layers, with noticeably fewer on the fourth. As for the fifth layer, estimating from afar, the number did not exceed ten.

"Ye Mo, have you decided which layer you want to go to?"

At this moment, Ling Shan approached and asked.

"Are there any differences between these seven layers?"

Ye Mo asked curiously.

"Of course there are differences. Didn’t you notice that the higher you go, the fewer people there are? I just asked some senior students from Earth Tier; the Hall of Five Elements is divided into seven layers. Each layer has five secret chambers corresponding to Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. The first layer is the easiest, and the seventh is the hardest."

Ling Shan explained.

"Then why does no one go to the first layer to comprehend? Why are they all gathered on the second and third layers?"

Ye Mo asked again.

"Although the Hall of Five Elements is open for a month to anyone who hasn’t reached the Immortal Position Realm, there’s a charge. The first layer is the easiest to comprehend, but it consumes a million Immortal Stones every day."

Ling Shan said.

"What? A million Immortal Stones a day?"

Ye Mo was utterly shocked. Isn’t this Hall of Five Elements a rampant profiteer? For a strong cultivator at the Immortal Position Realm, there are at least fifty thousand among the newcomers. No wonder the Immortal Martial Academy is so powerful; it’s a disguised money-making machine.

A million a day, if someone with poor talent stays on the first layer, wouldn’t they need to spend thirty million Immortal Stones in a month without fully comprehending the Five Elements Laws?

"Although the Immortal Martial Academy cultivates us, the resource consumption is also terrifying, so they naturally find ways to exploit us. Without Immortal Stones in the Immortal Martial Academy, you can only undertake tasks to earn Merits. Many places in the academy require Immortal Stones or Merits to enter."

Guessing Ye Mo’s thoughts, Ling Shan also remarked, "However, people usually don’t choose the first layer; those who consider themselves weak would also consider the second and third layers."

Comprehension on the second layer requires fifty thousand Immortal Stones a day, while the third layer requires thirty thousand.

The fourth layer requires ten thousand Immortal Stones a day, and reaching the fifth layer costs five thousand a day.

Whereas the highest seventh layer only requires a thousand Immortal Stones a day.

The greater the difficulty, the fewer Immortal Stones consumed; the easier the task, the more Immortal Stones are consumed.

That’s why most newcomers choose the second and third layers, with a few opting for the fourth. As for the highest sixth and seventh layers, they are practically ignored. Though they consume fewer Immortal Stones, the difficulty is apparent.

Almost a decade can pass before one or two new students dare to challenge the sixth and seventh layers, but they fail every time.

Only one succeeded, having comprehended four laws. He chose the seventh layer, spending a month to comprehend the final law.

"I see. Where are you planning to comprehend? You probably haven’t comprehended any Five Elements Laws yet."

Ye Mo asked Ling Shan.

"I’ll go to the fourth layer. The second and third layers aren’t for ordinary disciples to comprehend."

Ling Shan chose the fourth layer partly because she had confidence in her talent and partly because the Immortal Stones she possessed allowed her to spend only one month on the fourth layer.

"What about you?"

Ling Shan suddenly asked.

"Me? I’ll try the seventh layer."

Ye Mo calmly said, "They say comprehending the Five Elements Laws on the seventh layer is challenging. I want to experience just how difficult it is, and besides, I don’t have any Immortal Stones on me."

"If you’re really daring to comprehend on the seventh layer, I’ll cover the thirty thousand Immortal Stones for you."

At this time, Xuanyuan Ze entered. Hearing Ye Mo wanting to try comprehending the Five Elements Laws on the seventh layer almost made him laugh out loud. Even Zhou Han in his prime only comprehended on the sixth layer.

"Oh? Are you serious?"

Ye Mo asked with a smile.

"Could it be a lie?"

Xuanyuan Ze directly took out a bill worth thirty thousand Immortal Stones and handed it to Ye Mo.

"Well, thank you very much!"

Ye Mo accepted the bill, leaped, and landed directly on the seventh layer.

All the newcomers watched the figure flash by, surprising them. When they saw Ye Mo land on the seventh layer of the Hall of Five Elements, their faces showed an unbelievable expression.

"Isn’t that Ye Mo? He actually went directly to the seventh layer. Is he trying to break the record?"

"I think he must be short on money, so he can only choose the seventh layer. As everyone knows, for those comprehending the Five Elements Laws on the seventh layer, the best record was only successfully comprehending one law within a month. Although it consumes fewer Immortal Stones, for us, time is more precious than Immortal Stones."

"Yes, by then we will have comprehended five laws and possibly even merge the Five Elements Laws to break through to the Immortal Class Realm."

These discussions, although whispered, were heard clearly by Ye Mo. Yet he paid no attention, as he cultivated the Buddha Dharma Method evolved from the Five-Elements Cultivation, giving him extraordinary understanding in comprehending the Five Elements Laws.

Upon landing on the seventh layer of the Hall of Five Elements, Ye Mo saw an elder in a grey robe, hunched over, staring intently at him.

"So powerful!"

Ye Mo instantly felt the space around him subtly twisting. The elder in front must have reached the Fifth-grade Immortal Honor Realm, able to control the Power of Time and Space.

In the dimensions of the immortal world, the Power of Time and Space cannot distort space because the dimension of space is reinforced by the Power of Laws. Trying to use space power won’t distort the space dimension.

However, mastering Space Law changes things, something only a Fifth-grade Immortal Honor can achieve.

"Only an Immortal Honor can be considered an expert in the Immortal Realm Continent, yet only the dean can truly be called powerful. From the dragon’s tone, it seems Zhou Han from the Divine Realm’s first place probably isn’t weaker than him."

Dragon Glarax said.

"What? Zhou Han not weaker than the dean?"

Ye Mo’s heart slightly trembled.

"The dean has noticed you but won’t let you fight for first place; he simply wants Zhou Han to let down his guard against you. The newcomer ranking battle is crucial to all newcomers. If you snatch first place, surpassing all of Zhou Han’s records from back then, do you think Zhou Han would let you go?"

Dragon Glarax analyzed.

"No wonder the dean wanted me to skip the newcomer ranking battle. But Zhou Han’s talent is undeniably overwhelming."

Ye Mo secretly marveled. Previously, his opponents were always one or two realms above him, but Zhou Han was immensely superior in realm, and his talent was likewise terrifying. If Zhou Han truly targeted him, even the dean might not be able to protect him.
