Chapter 1016 People Arrival

Dozens or even hundreds of flying artifacts carrying countless cultivators from the upper realms began to swarm the mysterious realm, and their loud cheers echoed throughout the realm.

However, there were also so many luxurious flying artifacts that those people had never seen before, and many of them suspected that they came from the supreme realm, especially since cultivators from that place could also travel to the upper realms easily.

Moreover, the mysterious tower was indeed intriguing, and not even the strongest cultivators in the upper realms had managed to unravel its mystery. Therefore, it was only natural for the cultivators from the supreme realm to send their younger generations.

The first to land was a luxurious flying artifact carrying the leaders of the natural races, and they landed right in front of the mysterious tower’s entrance. Ban Zhuo, the centaur race’s leader, soon led them down the flying artifact.

“So what are we going to do now? Are we going to move quickly to eradicate those beasts?” Yin Shu asked them.

Ban Zhuo nodded in agreement. “The beasts on each floor are numerous, and we can’t clear them out so fast, so we should move now.”

“Moreover, these young cultivators are very large, so they can help us clear out those beasts, and we will wait for those two people on the upper floors.” Zu Juren then looked at the flying artifacts that were starting to land. “Some of those flying artifacts are not made by people from these upper realms, so they must be the young generation from the supreme realm.”

“You are right, Juren.” You Ya spoke as she observed the opulent flying artifacts circling the realm, showing no signs of hurrying to land. “Even the people of the Tianshan Realm can’t build such flying artifacts; therefore, they must have come from that realm. Anyway, we don’t need to bother them and instead concentrate on our mission to stop Zhu Ling and Jing Shen, especially considering that their seniors are much stronger than us with their cultivation in the Three Immortal Realms.”

“Let’s go in! We still have plenty of time since Zhu Ling and Jing Shen will arrive in a week, so I want to collect some treasures while waiting for them to arrive.” A small old man, like Xian Di, uttered these words as he entered the tower. 𝓯𝘳𝘦𝓌𝘦ℴ𝘷𝘦.𝘰𝑚

You Ya and the other leaders looked at the man with a wry smile, especially since he was Ru Xiao, the leader of the gnome race, who was indeed fond of treasures.

They hurriedly followed Ru Xiao into the tower, but they frowned when they sensed the first floor’s beasts’ strength, which Huang Lingzhu had purposefully boosted to impede Zhu Ling and Jing Shen.

“What the hell is going on here?” Ru Xiao said it in a high tone. “Since when did the beasts’ strength in this place reach the five god realms? As far as I remember, the strength of the beasts on this floor should be in the Emperor realm, right?”

“You’re right; I also remember it clearly.” Ban Zhuo replied as he looked around the area. “What do you think happened in this place? Moreover, Lu Yi said that Ling Yun and Luxuria should have been in this tower, but I can’t find anyone else in this place other than the beasts.”

Zu Juren and the others were also confused by this, but You Ya stared at the gate leading to the second floor in deep thought, and she spoke to her companions shortly after. “If my guess is correct, Ling Yun should have brought Luxuria and the others to the upper floors, especially since Zhou Yu is on their side, and it would be too easy for her to bring them there. This tower’s owners may have changed the rules to benefit him, making it hard for Zhu Ling to find them if the beasts on this floor are already at this level. Moreover, their strength will continue to increase every ten floors, which means we may encounter beasts at the emperor god realm starting from the 11th floor, and at the supreme god realm starting from the 41st floor.”

“That’s insane!” Yin Shu exclaimed quite loudly. “Even though our cultivation is in the supreme god realm, we will definitely have difficulty climbing each floor with so many beasts on each floor.”

“Isn’t this good for us?” All of them turned to Zu Jiren with a frown. “Since the strength of the beasts on this floor has increased, most of the younger generation will have to withdraw, especially those whose cultivation is still in the ten mortal realms, and the number of participants will decrease significantly. That way, we will have more time to stop Jing Shen, and we can prevent the second prophecy from being fulfilled.”

They sighed heavily before nodding in agreement with Zu Juren, and Ban Zhou immediately led them to clear out the beasts on the first floor as quickly as possible.

Shortly after they began their fight, a sizable group of young cultivators from the Holy Land of Sword entered the tower, displaying the same reaction as the natural race leaders.

“Senior Brother Ning Hao, what exactly happened in this tower? Why is the first floor of this tower now inhabited by beasts in the five god realms?” A young man posed this question to the man standing before him. “If they were already this strong, half of us couldn’t participate in this training, and their trip to this tower would be a waste.”

“You’re right, Yun Fei.” Ning Hao let out a soft sigh before turning to the people in his group. “Honestly, I’m shocked by the strength of the beasts on this floor, but there’s nothing we can do, especially since this tower is indeed mysterious. Since these beasts are too strong for you all, you guys only have two choices now: return to our realm or go to other realms not far from this one and train there.”

When they heard that, the people started whispering to each other, but it was impossible to hide their disappointment, especially considering that it took several months to travel from their realm to the tower, and that their journey would ultimately be in vain because they could not fight the beasts whose strength was still beyond their reach.

Observing their expressions, a woman with silver hair and a long silver dress tried to comfort them. “Guys, I can understand your disappointment, but there’s nothing we can do about this, especially since we don’t know the owners of these towers, so we can’t protest to them. Even if we could do that, I’m sure they wouldn’t listen to small cultivators like us, so I hope you won’t continue to wallow in disappointment, and it would be better if you returned to our realm soon to cultivate harder.”

“Yin Yao is right.” A handsome young man said this while fanning his face with a white fan in his hand. “We’ll be training here, so we can’t possibly protect you all if you want to go to another realm. It would be better if you returned to our realm. Once you’ve reached the five gods, we can bring you back to this tower and train you here at that time.”

Naturally, they all understood that reaching the five god realms was not an easy matter, especially since their cultivation was still in the ten mortal realms, and they might have to wait tens or even hundreds of years to reach that stage.

Suddenly, one of them said to the others, “I am as disappointed as all of you, but I agree with Senior Brother Wan Xiaotang and Senior Sister Yao. Moreover, I am so eager to catch up with Big Brother Chui Song, but we have no other choice besides returning to our realm, and we will cultivate harder than ever to make up for the time we have wasted on our journey back and forth.”

Seeing them continue like that, another senior woman spoke to them. “All right, you guys should return now and avoid squandering our time. Otherwise, I will use my soul abilities on you all, and I assure you that you will not enjoy the experience.”

They shuddered at the woman’s threat and immediately left the tower in a hurry, making Wan Xiaotang and the others laugh with amusement at their actions, as Yin Yao said to the woman. “You are really too much sometimes, Ji Ruxi. However, you threatened them right this time, or they wouldn’t have left so soon.”

“Hehe.” Ji Ruxi laughed at that before looking towards the gate to the second floor. “It seems like Big Sis Ping’er and the others have already gone up to the upper floors, so we have to move quickly to catch up with them, or else that sword demoness will punish us later.”

After hearing that, Yao Yin and the others shuddered. They immediately took out their respective weapons and began hunting the beasts. Ji Ruxi followed behind them, laughing out loud at their antics, especially since they were so afraid of Wang Tianshi.

After that, many cultivators also entered the tower, but almost half were disappointed because the first-floor beasts were too strong for them. In the end, some of them decided to return to their realms, and some of them decided to go to other realms to train.
