  Ao Li looked at the Black Peak Tower, unable to figure out what was going on inside.

  It had already reached this stage. There was no reason for the higher levels to not be affected by the beasts.

  Even if there had been some accidents on one or two levels among the upper levels, it couldn’t be that all five upper levels had experienced accidents right?

  “I should go and ask the people who came out from the fifth level and above.”


  Ao Li sighed.

  “It’s a pity that the upper echelons of the Dragon Race haven’t come out yet.”


  “Neither has Kunlun,” said Liu Jing.

  “My Heavenly Human Race is not out that fast either.” The bearded middle-aged man also spoke.

  The three of them stopped talking. If anyone was curious, they would ask people from other races.

  …


  “It might be related to the strange movements on the fifth floor.”


  Miao Yue looked at Black Peak Tower and said softly.

  Zhu Qing also nodded.

  An accident had happened to the higher levels. Under normal circumstances, this should not have happened.

  There had to be a reason for this sudden change, and the only abnormality among all the levels was on the fifth level.

  Someone was clearing the fifth floor, but no one knew what was going on.

  “There’s no movement at the center of the fifth level, and we can’t see anything outside the center,” Ao Shishi added.

  There was indeed a problem with the fifth level, but it was unknown if it was the main cause.

  So far, there was no sign of any vicious beast in the center of the fifth level.

  Ao Longyu looked at the fifth level, and indeed, she could not see anything.

  Then, she looked at the fourth and third levels.

  The fellow disciples whom she was more familiar with were on these two floors.

  However, she felt that her Junior Brother would come out a bit later.

  Her Junior Brother had been in seclusion for decades. He should be able to hide from the beasts for a long time.

  He had even chosen to jump into the Mental Demon Purgatory on the fourth level previously.

  If those vicious beasts chased Jiang Lan down into the Mental Demon Purgatory, they would become dead souls under her Junior Brother’s sword.

  “Xiao Yu, do you think Jiang Lan can survive today?” Miao Yue suddenly asked Ao Long Yu who was standing behind her.

  “Junior Brother has his own thoughts,” said Ao Longyu.

  She did not directly say if he could.

  If she did so, she felt like she was putting a shackle on her Junior Brother.

  When her Junior Brother came out, she would welcome him. It was not a big deal when he came out.

  “Why don’t we make a bet?” Ran Jing looked at Miao Yue and said.

  “Let’s bet on when the Goddess’ fiance will come out. How about it?”


  Facing this bet, Miao Yue smiled.

  “Then I bet that Jiang Lan will only come out at the last moment.”


  “What about the Goddess?” Ao Shishi asked Ao Longyu.

  She felt that Kunlun just wanted to save some face.

  The final moment?

  It was extremely difficult to last till the last moment on the third floor. It could be said to be almost impossible.

  Ao Longyu remained silent.

  “Oh?” Miao Yue looked at Ao Shishi and said.

  “Do dragons like to bully children? How can a child participate in such a bet? ”


  “Then we shall bet that he won’t be able to stay until the last moment,” said Ran Jing.

  “I heard that the disciple of the Ninth Summit doesn’t have a good reputation. His talent is average and his cultivation level is average too. “Ao Shishi looked at Miao Yue and said.

  “If that’s the case, why do you think that he can last till the end?”


  Miao Yue smiled without saying anything.

  Zhu Qing did not say a word. She did not know where her Senior Sister’s confidence came from.

  However, her Senior Sister had never fought battles that she wasn’t confident in, so Jiang Lan definitely had a certain chance of staying until the end.

  She looked at Xiao Yu again but did not see her worry.

  As for the chips for the bet, no one cared about it. What was the use of it?

  It was more interesting to see the other party lose face.

  “If something has happened to the vicious beasts across the various levels, will this gathering end in a short period of time?” Zhu Qing asked Fairy Miao Yue.

  “Yes.” Miao Yue looked at the two highest floors and continued.

  “Those at the top two levels have the strength to break through the barriers between the various levels. It won’t be long before they understand the true essence of the Dao discussion.

  The fastest way to discuss the Dao is to verify their respective Daos. At that time, they will break through the barriers of all the levels and reach the fifth level. We will then know the general reason for this weird situation and we will be able to see what’s actually happening.”


  …


  On the ninth floor.

  There were already people arguing.

  “The people of the Heavenly Human Race are the representatives of the great dao? You people use this as the foundation of your Dao? What a joke. If that’s so, how can you forge and walk on your own Dao path?

  Cultivators live long lives and watch the cycle of life and death. We fight against death by understanding how to differentiate ourselves from mortals. Understanding the principles of the world step by step is the Dao of cultivation.”


  “Is that so?” The young man from the Heavenly Human Race looked at the Magus Immortal of Mount Numinous and said darkly.

  “Then let’s see whose Dao is more correct. Talking is the most boring. Let me suppress all of you and you people will know that I am right.”


  “Then come.” The middle-aged man stood up.

  Everyone stood up.

  Those from the Dragon Race, the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Race, the Underground’s Devils, the Bu Family of the Central Plains, the Giant Spirit Race of the Eastern Wasteland, and so on, all stood up. None of them were willing to submit to anyone else.

  “I’ve been waiting a long time.”


  “Let’s see how it goes.”


  “What do the people of Kunlun think? Do you people dare to have a fight with us?”


  As they spoke, they looked at a young man sitting in the corner. He looked to be in his late twenties.

  He stood up slowly with a smile on his face as if he had waited for a long time.

  “Like I said, there are three thousand great Dao paths, and an uncountable number of small Dao paths. How can someone admit that his own path is wrong?

  After all these years, one would have admitted his mistake long ago if one really believed so. Why wait till now?”


  He was Leng Wu, disciple of the Seventh Summit. He was a mid-stage Heaven Immortal.

  In theory, no one knew who had the highest level of cultivation in this Witchcloud Gathering.

  Boom!

  As Leng Wu’s voice fell, more than twenty Heaven Immortals retreated.

  The power of a Heaven Immortal began to proliferate.

  Across the various factions, there were quite a few Heaven Immortals, but there really weren’t many young Heaven Immortals.

  There was no need for those who were at a realm above the Heaven Immortal Realm to appear. The Witchcloud Gathering was only a gathering of young talents.

  Leng Wu didn’t take out any Dharma treasures. He wanted to use Dao techniques to defeat these people.

  The instant his power spread out, Leng Wu faced off against the powerful beings of the Underground’s Devils.

  “Immortal Technique, Mountain Suppression.”


  With a series of hand seals, a gigantic mountain appeared and suppressed the Underground’s Devils.

  Boom!

  The Underground’s Devils wielded their long sabers, and a dark aura appeared on their sabers as they slashed down upon the mountain peak.

  Clang!

  In a clash of power, the mountain peak shattered.

  “Let’s see if your spell technique is faster or if my saber is closer to you.”


  Leng Wu laughed.

  “Come on!”


  Boom!

  A great battle erupted.

  …


  When the battle erupted on the ninth level, the ripple of the clashes directly extended to the eighth level.

  At this moment, countless energy storms appeared on the eighth level.

  Lu Jian was injured and was fighting one against three.

  Sword light swept in all directions. Even though he was suppressed, he was still far from defeat.

  Boom!

  A loud noise came from above.

  The four people who were fighting immediately retreated in shock.

  After stabilizing himself, Lu Jian looked up at the sky and smiled at the other three True Immortals.

  “It looks like those at the higher levels are also fighting. Why are all of you attacking me? Aren’t you afraid that my Senior Brother will come down and kill you all?”


  “I heard that the battle between Heaven Immortals can break the barrier between levels, but…” An elephant demon looked at the road and said in a low voice.

  “You’ll have to last till then, too.”


  “Is that so?” Lu Jian held his sword and madness appeared in his eyes.

  “Then I’ll send the three of you out first to verify my path.”


  At that moment, he moved and arrived in front of one of the demonesses.

  The demoness didn’t care. Ice spikes appeared around her, and she waved her ice sword.

  Pu!

  The ice sword slashed across Lu Jian, injuring him.

  The demoness expected Lu Jian to retreat and dodge, but to her surprise, he didn’t. He didn’t even defend himself.

  The attack had landed on the opponent cleanly.

  At this moment, she saw a smile appear on the corner of Lu Jian’s mouth.

  “You have hit me once, but now it’s my turn.”


  …
