Chapter 262: Zi Xiao

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Heaven Ascension Tower had existed for more than ten thousand years. Although it was a little incomplete and could not recover its ancient glory, it was impossible for it to make such a low-level mistake.

The others nodded. It was very likely that he could not enter the third level for other reasons.

In the outside world, the altar at the entrance of the mystic realm trembled again. Countless old antiques emitted soul power, wanting to know which genius had come out again.

The guardian of the Ascension Immortal Dynasty could not help but mutter in his mind.

The previous guardian had long been replaced. If he stayed any longer, he would probably go crazy, so he was transferred here.

He knew the situation here. Before the mystic realm opened, he thought that it was a good job. However, when he heard the news that he was transferred here, his heart immediately could not calm down.

Was he here to be a guardian? He was clearly here to serve a group of ancestors.

Fortunately, the Ascension Immortal Dynasty controlled the other entrances to the mystic realm. After a large number of their geniuses died, they had just sent in another batch. They should not die so quickly, right?

“Isn’t this the genius of the Ascension Immortal Dynasty, Yuxuan Tianyu?”

Someone with sharp eyes recognized him immediately.

The guardian of the Ascension Immortal Dynasty almost fainted. This was a disaster.

Countless elders looked at the guardian of the Ascension Immortal Dynasty with a smile that was not a smile. The Ascension Immortal Dynasty had already become the laughing stock of the Nine Continents, and they were not afraid of losing face. The guardian of the Ascension Immortal Dynasty braced himself and put away Yuxuan Tianyu’s remnant soul. There was no need to ask who killed him. Everyone who came out answered basically the same.

“Sigh, what a pity.” An elder leading the clan had a regretful expression.

“What’s there to pity? It’s not your genius who died.”

Seeing the unhappy expression of this family’s elder, a busybody went up and asked.

“Unfortunately, the Ascension Immortal Dynasty has won a huge prize. Forget it, we’ll bear the pain and give this prize to the Ascension Immortal Dynasty.” After saying this, the expression of this elder turned to joy, and he carried a faint smile.

When they heard this, everyone was stunned on the spot and instantly reacted. They roared with laughter. This was indirectly mocking the Ascension Immortal Dynasty.

The people of the Ascension Immortal Dynasty looked as if they had suffered a huge loss. Damn it, they would rather not accept the great reward of a genius’s death.

Suddenly, a purple remnant soul appeared on the altar. Everyone immediately shifted their attention from the Ascension Immortal Dynasty to this remnant soul.

Before everyone could speak, the sky instantly darkened. Purple spiritual qi wreaked havoc in the sky, stirring the dark clouds in the sky. At the same time, a terrifying pressure descended, causing many old antiques to release their auras to protect the people behind them.

“Saint Child Zi Xiao, who dared to kill you?” A deafening voice sounded from the void, and waves of purple qi appeared. The Zi family’s ancestor took a step out of the void and arrived in front of Zi Xiao’s remnant soul. A large amount of purple qi surged into his remnant soul, and the eyes of the Zi family’s ancestor swept everyone like blades.

Everyone was immediately speechless. This was not an old antique of the Zi family, but the ancestor of the Zi family. He was a figure on the same level as the Ying family’s ancestor. Even they did not know how long he had existed. Was it because he felt that he had lived too long to gossip in front of such a figure?

“A very interesting person. I found the opportunity to break through on him,” Zi Xiao said slowly. His eyes looked at the sky. Facing so many old antiques, he did not feel any fear.

This made the Ying family’s ancestor say, “Eh, this little guy is actually a complete soul. Could it be that he came out voluntarily?”

An expert of the Ying family’s ancestor’s level had long been able to see through a trace of the heavenly secrets. He saw through Zi Xiao’s situation with a single glance.

When the old antiques of the other families heard this, they hurriedly looked at Zi Xiao.

“He killed you?” The unfathomable aura of the Zi family’s ancestor became unstable, as if it could erupt at any time.

“No, I committed suicide.”

As soon as Zi Xiao finished speaking, everyone was stunned. Suicide?

One had to know that how many people in the Nine Continents wanted to enter the mystic realm but could not come here because of various elements? How stupid were they to choose to commit suicide in a place filled with opportunities?

The aura on the Zi family’s ancestor disappeared without a trace, and his eyes revealed confusion.

Before he could speak, a huge change immediately happened in the world. Spiritual cranes that were difficult to come by in a thousand years flew past in rows, and colorful fragments descended.

Thousands of spiritual beasts surged over from all directions. As if they had been rehearsed beforehand, they danced in the sky and emitted a large amount of vitality.

The power of the five elements in the world seemed to have been guided, turning into five elemental dragons that entered his remnant soul. As an aura that made the Zi family’s ancestor’s heart palpitate appeared, an illusory purple heavenly staircase appeared out of thin air and reached the sky.

Under the confused gazes of everyone, Zi Xiao stepped onto the purple heavenly staircase. With each step, a large amount of vitality and colorful fragments entered his body, making his remnant soul more and more corporeal.

When the spiritual cranes appeared, the spiritual beasts of heaven and earth congratulated him. With the Five Elements Great Dao as the body, he stepped on the Purple Spirit Heavenly Stairway and became a Divine Body!

The Zi family’s ancestor laughed loudly, “Xiao’er is right. His life journey was too smooth. He needed a failure to awaken his Divine Body. Seeing such an auspicious phenomenon occur today, my Zi family will prosper.”

Someone was immediately speechless. It was unknown who had rushed over with killing intent just now, as if they wanted to exterminate the other party’s nine clans.

However, the power that descended made countless people envious.

Any one of these spiritual beasts could probably allow them to break through realms. There were those five-colored pieces that could increase his comprehension. If the power of vitality was refined into medicinal pills, it was equivalent to having an additional life.

Someone could not help but want to make a move, but when he saw the Zi family’s ancestor guarding at the side, he immediately backed off.

After a long time, the phenomenon gradually disappeared. Zi Xiao turned into a purple silkworm ball that emitted a comfortable aura.

The Zi family’s ancestor waved his hand and disappeared with the silkworm ball.

“Some secluded families should be coming out soon.” An expert sighed. The great era was about to arrive.

The matter of Zi Xiao made everyone a little uneasy. They changed their opinion of the mystic realm. It was not necessarily the greatest benefit to live to the end.

The Nascent Soul experts of the Ascension Immortal Dynasty thought of how so many geniuses had died but not a single one of them became stronger after being humiliated, all of them were horrified instead.

Why were all the true prodigies from other families?

At this moment, on the second level of Heaven Ascension Tower, a fiery red dragon shot into the sky. Wherever it passed, everything turned to ashes. A figure saw this fire dragon and revealed a satisfied expression.

This fire dragon was the power of the lava that Lin Xuan had absorbed and cultivated into the Great Fire Dragon Technique.

The flames on this fire dragon were not ordinary flames. They were the legendary True Samadhi Fire. Everything in the world could be burned, but the specific power was limited by Lin Xuan’s cultivation.

“After staying on the second level for so long, it’s time to go to the third level.”
