Chapter 665: Blessings of the Primary Prime Plane

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Under the guidance of the Chief Arbiter, Ye Feng entered a giant tower. This tower was said to have existed not long after the birth of the primary prime plane. Its rank was unknown, but the aura it emitted was enough to make many people feel oppressed. Yet Ye Feng found this aura somewhat familiar, resembling that of the Sky-Piercing Tower, though far less powerful.

“This tower is my replica,” the Sky-Piercing Tower replied, sensing Ye Feng’s thoughts. “As for its functions, it only has the simplest basic capabilities. It cannot grant consciousness or allow further evolution.”

Everyone stopped outside the tower.

“Once inside, just sit calmly in the center of the tower and patiently wait for the primordial blessings,” the Chief Arbiter reminded them.

Then, a middle-aged man from the intermediate prime plane stepped forward. Dressed in a golden robe and wearing a tall crown, his gaze was like that of stars—exuding an imperial presence. Ye Feng naturally remembered him as one of the guests, but he hadn’t expected him to be the representative of the genius competition organizers.

The man smiled, nodded at Ye Feng, then quickly formed countless hand seals in front of the tower.

After about the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the tower’s doors finally slowly opened. From the outside, it was pitch black inside, with nothing visible at all.

“Go in!” the guest who opened the tower signaled to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng glanced at Nian Cangsheng, who was standing beside him. Nian Cangsheng nodded at him as well, giving Ye Feng confidence to step inside.

As soon as he stepped through the door, it slowly closed behind him.

Outside, the originally black tower began to show signs of activity, as if waking from slumber.

Inside the tower, Ye Feng looked around. There was nothing inside—not even a single pillar. Only strange secret patterns were carved on the floor. Even with his current vision, Ye Feng couldn’t decipher what these patterns meant.

He slowly walked toward the patterns. At the center of them was a circle about one meter in diameter. Ye Feng knew that this circle marked the center of the entire tower.

Standing inside the circle, Ye Feng took a deep breath, then calmed himself down and sat in seiza position.

Almost as soon as he sat down, changes occurred outside the tower. A blinding white light emerged from the top of the black tower. The white light quickly soared into the sky, turning into a beam of light that reached the heavens.

The onlookers all stared in astonishment at the scene before them, while those who couldn’t be there saw it on the projected screen, equally stunned. After a moment, a strange roaring sound approached from afar, clearly filling every corner of the Primary Main Plane. This was not the effect of an image crystal—it was the sound itself that truly permeated every corner of the Primary Main Plane. Nian Cangsheng and the others looked up at the cloud in the sky, its color constantly changing. “Why is this blessing cloud so peculiar?” the middle-aged man who had activated the giant tower frowned slightly before glancing at Nian Cangsheng. Although Nian Cangsheng had a rough idea of what the cloud was, he was still shocked; he hadn’t even noticed anyone looking at him. At that moment, the only female guest spoke up, “Normally, the color of a primordial blessing cloud should be related to the attribute of the divine power cultivated within the person being blessed. Even if there are seven types of divine powers, they should result in a multicolored cloud; with some special divine powers, it could even be eight or nine colors. But as for a blessing cloud with such unpredictable changes, I’ve only heard my master mention it occasionally—I’m not sure if it really looks like this.” “What exactly is it?” the others couldn’t help asking. “A Chaos Cloud,” the woman said solemnly. “This kind of blessing only exists in the Main Plane—it’s the most primordial substance that emerged at its birth. It’s extremely rare. If the Main Plane is compared to a human, then this Chaos Cloud is his lifeblood. There are only very few of them. A Primary Main Plane can bestow blessings at most ten times before they’re exhausted. So, for such blessings, it chooses very carefully.” “Does that mean their effects are much better than those of other blessing clouds?” the bald guest asked. “I’m not sure about the specific effects. My master only mentioned it casually without going into detail,” the woman shook her head. “But it’s definitely on a completely different level of blessing!” Nian Cangsheng naturally knew the woman was telling the truth. He had seen such Chaos Clouds before and had heard Immortal talk about them. When a bloodline becomes strong enough, blessings can undergo a qualitative change.

The bloodline within Ye Feng was already at the third level of Immortality. From the perspective of the primary main plane, the power of such a bloodline was unmatched by anyone else, which was why this blessing was bestowed. Only those who knew the secrets, like Nian Cangsheng, understood that this blessing was not a one-sided gift but, to some extent, a form of contract. If the person granted the blessing later entered a higher plane, the main plane that bestowed it would receive corresponding rewards from that higher plane. The greater the blessing given, the more rewards would be obtained later.

That cloud wasn’t even very large, with a diameter of only about a hundred meters, as it slowly floated above the giant tower.

Inside the tower, Ye Feng had no idea what was happening outside. He was sitting quietly where he was, waiting patiently as instructed by the chief arbiter.

When the cloud reached above the giant tower, it did not immediately bestow the blessing but instead circled slowly, as if nurturing something.

After half a cup of tea passed, a beam of white light finally shot out from within the cloud, shining on the top of the tower.

The originally black tower began to emit bright white light from its peak, which then spread rapidly downward. In just one breath’s time, the once-black tower had transformed into one that glowed with white light all over.

Everyone was stunned by what happened, even the few people who had witnessed the blessing before, such as the chief arbiter, were equally astonished. Clearly, they had also never seen such a thing before.

“How is this possible? There has never been even a trace of white light seeping out from the tower before…” the chief arbiter murmured in disbelief.

Meanwhile, inside the tower, Ye Feng felt a powerful pressure coming from above, and soon his entire body was engulfed by that white light.

At the same time, all the image crystals inside the tower shattered.

The many spectators outside saw only a flash of white light, after which the screen turned completely dark…
