"Why is it called 'Extre Martial Ascension Palace'?"
Xue Jing opened his mouth with a slight confusion.
This na feels a bit too familiar.
"Could it be..."
Ning Yuantai laughed, "You guessed right, the term 'Extre Martial' in 'Extre Martial Ascension Palace' indeed cos from that Extre Martial King."
"Over a hundred years ago, shortly after the Eternal Night war had ended, the Extre Martial King alone took control of the 'Sun Pillar' in the Seventh tropolitan Circle, marking it as his own territory."
"Since then, a lot of things happened... The Sun Pillar of the Seventh tropolitan Circle gradually beca the place of exchange for martial artists worldwide. The Extre Martial King then took permanent residence in the highest 'Heavenly Palace'. The process for martial artists to climb up to him floor by floor and challenge him was referred to as 'Ascending to Heaven'."
The na 'Extre Martial Ascension Palace' thus originated."
"Of course, due to political considerations, it's a secret not publicly disclosed. The official explanation for the na ant 'reaching the pinnacle of martial arts'." Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
"After all, his deeds before taking over Cangting..."
Ning Yuantai hesitated then said tactfully, "were not very positive for societal influences."
"Although there has been decades of information suppression, making most of the information related to the Extre Martial King nearly impossible to find, his existence remains circulated among a select few. However, since Cangting set the tone and issued docunts back in the day, they probably don't see a need to change it now..."
Xue Jing asked, "What about now? Does the Extre Martial King still reside in the highest 'Heavenly Palace'?"
Ning Yuantai shook his head, "After taking over Cangting, the Extre Martial King never returned to the Seventh tropolitan Circle. Now, the 'Heavenly Palace' has been vacant. Those new generations, unaware of the Extre Martial King's existence, think reaching the top ans 'Ascending to Heaven.' Little do they know that even by reaching it, they rely gain the right to challenge the Extre Martial King..."
"No one has ascended to the Heavenly Palace since the Extre Martial King left, decades ago."
Xue Jing curiously remarked, "Oh? Is it that difficult?"
The Extre Martial King was a supre entity in the martial arts, surpassing other martial artists by countless levels.
It was understandable for Xue Jing that earning the right to challenge him was difficult, but for no one to have done so in decades seed rather exaggerated.
Given the vast number of talented individuals likely erging over the decades, was it truly impossible for anyone to earn just the right to challenge?
Ning Yuantai explained, "Xue, you may not know, but the Extre Martial Ascension Palace has 46,972 floors. The final seventy-two floors, due to their imnse height, are not referred to by their floor numbers but as 'Heavens' instead."
"Each Heaven is controlled by a 'Heavenly Lord.' Seventy-two Heavenly Lords, most of whom have once held titles, with half of them being holders of Eternal Titles!"
"For those intending to 'Ascend to Heaven,' there are ways to skip levels in the first forty thousand floors, but for the last seventy-two floors, one must fight up each floor."
"Only the highest Heavenly Lord can enter the Heavenly Palace... and unless he does, others must defeat him to beco the new supre Heavenly Lord in order to enter."
"In these past decades, the position of 'Supre Heavenly Lord' indeed changed hands several tis... but having practiced to such an extent, they understand the terror of the Extre Martial King far more deeply than ordinary martial artists."
"From a frog in a well watching the moon to a mayfly looking at the sky... all the Supre Heavenly Lords just stood at the doorway of the Heavenly Palace, shook their heads, and then turned back."
Xue Jing nodded, suddenly realizing, "I see."
The Extre Martial Ascension Palace, seventy-two Heavenly Lords, half of them being holders of Eternal Titles... such an exaggerated assembly.
Could it be that all the existing Eternal Titles are gathered there?
From an average perspective, even theoretically, it would take five years to produce seven holders of Eternal Titles, and adding the three major titles from the Far East, there are only ten.
There are at least thirty in the Extre Martial Ascension Palace... Even if it doesn't cover all existing Eternals, it's probably not far off.
"Besides the seventy-two Heavens, the next nine hundred floors, each with a Level Master, is the current goal for most people climbing the Extre Martial Ascension Palace... Just by becoming one of these nine hundred Level Masters, one can earn a substantial monthly inco as well as martial arts resources, and it also carries great prestige."
"Xue, shall we first go to see the Extre Martial Ascension Palace?"
Ning Yuantai suggested.
"Even though ascending the seventy-two Heavens is still quite early for you, earning the title of one of the nine hundred individual floors should pose no problem!"
Hearing this, Xue Jing shook his head, "No, let's head to Silver City first."
He did indeed intend to visit the Extre Martial Ascension Palace, but not now.
Xue Jing was highly cautious about his odds of running into trouble. Should he visit the Extre Martial Ascension Palace first, he figured he might accidentally provoke soone, which could stall his progress on more urgent matters.
His agenda was clear: to accomplish the principal task first. After that, whatever ca knocking, he was ready for it, fearless.
Danger and opportunity were two sides of the sa coin for him. Encountering trouble ant prospects for gain, and at the very worst, it could still churn up so skill experience, which he didn't mind—as long as it didn't interfere with the main issues.

Seventh tropolitan Circle, Inner Ring, Silver City.
An airplane tore through the sky, leaving a trail of clouds behind, arriving above this city.
