"It doesn't matter. It's just a year. I'll wait for you! I can also use this time to consolidate my cultivation base. However, since you're the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion and I'm in your territory, you'll have to find me a good place to cultivate! "
Gu Li nodded. When he reached the end of his sentence, a hint of a joke could be heard in his voice.
Whoosh!
As soon as Gu Li finished speaking, the sound of wind whistling rang in the air. An object suddenly appeared in the air and shot toward Gu Li at high speed.
However, this bit of speed was nothing in front of Gu Li.
As Gu Li raised his hand, he grabbed the thing that broke through the air. When he looked at it, it was a light token that looked like it was made of wood. The word "Nine" was engraved on the front.
When he flipped the token around, he saw a few floating stone platforms carved on the back. Each of the stone platforms had its own independent stone chamber.
At the bottom right of the diagram, there were three small words carved on it.
Azure Cloud Platform!
"This is … the key to Azure Cloud Platform No.9?"
As though he had recalled something, Gu Li could not help but take a deep breath.
The Azure Cloud Platform was an extremely good place to cultivate in the Azure Cloud Mansion. The Spirit Gathering Formation inside was directly connected to the quasi third grade Saint Stone reserve in the Azure Cloud Mansion!
Generally speaking, only some outstanding disciples in the Azure Cloud Mansion were allowed to enter the Azure Cloud Platform to cultivate.
This was because one had to be strong enough to enter the Azure Cloud Platform to cultivate!
There were a total of 81 Azure Cloud Platforms. It was said that all of them were suspended above the Azure Cloud Mansion's Main Mansion and were divided into different grades.
At the highest point, there were a total of nine Azure Cloud Platforms. They formed a circle and were respectively Azure Cloud Platform No.1, Azure Cloud Platform No.2, Azure Cloud Platform No.3, and Azure Cloud Platform No.9!
It was said that in terms of cultivation environment, these nine Azure Cloud Platforms were not inferior to the cultivation place of the Azure Cloud Mansion's high-ranking officials.
At this moment, the key to Azure Cloud Platform No.9 in Gu Li's hand was the key to open the Azure Cloud Platform No.9. Only those who had the key could enter the Azure Cloud Platform No.9 to cultivate.
Below the nine Azure Cloud Platforms that formed a circle, there were a total of 18 Azure Cloud Platforms that formed a circle.
The cultivation environment of these 18 Azure Cloud Platforms was slightly worse than the previous nine platforms.
Further down were the Azure Cloud Platforms that formed a circle. There were a total of 54 of them. Although the cultivation environment here was slightly inferior to the Azure Cloud Platforms on the upper two floors, it was not too bad. It was much better than the place where the disciples of the Azure Cloud Mansion usually cultivated.
The cultivation environment of the 81 Azure Cloud Platforms was extremely good. It was only natural that many Azure Cloud Mansion's disciples would want to cultivate there.
However, in order to enter the Azure Cloud Platform to cultivate, one also needed to have extraordinary strength.
If one's strength was weak, even if one temporarily occupied an Azure Cloud Platform, it would be taken away by another person in the blink of an eye.
"As expected of the son of the Mystical Sky Mansion's Guardian Gu. You actually know about our Azure Cloud Mansion's Azure Cloud Platform … This is indeed the key to the Azure Cloud Platform Number Nine. I've already spoken to the elder in charge of the Azure Cloud Platform. Once you enter the Azure Cloud Platform Number Nine to cultivate, the disciples of our Azure Cloud Mansion won't fight with you for the Azure Cloud Platform Number Nine.
Along with a voice, a ghost-like figure appeared in the central hall.
This person was none other than the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, Duan Rufeng!
As for the key to the Azure Cloud Platform Number Nine, he was also the one who gave it to Gu Li.
"Father!"
When Duan Lingtian saw how Duan Rufeng had arranged everything, his heart was filled with warmth.
"Greetings, Mansion Master Duan!"
At the same time, Gu Li had also regained his senses and bowed at Duan Rufeng.
"I heard that when Tian 'er was in the Mystical Sky Mansion, you and your father took good care of him. I, Duan Rufeng, will remember this favor."
Duan Rufeng nodded at Gu Li and said with a smile, "However, since you're Tian 'er's friend and he addressed your father as Uncle Gu, you can just call me Uncle Duan in the future. There's no need to call me Mansion Master Duan!"
"Yes, Uncle Duan."
Gu Li was not an inflexible person. He immediately changed the way he addressed Duan Rufeng.
In the next instant, Gu Li returned the key to the Azure Cloud Platform Number Nine to Duan Rufeng.
Under Duan Rufeng's puzzled gaze, Gu Li said, "Uncle Duan, I've long heard that the Azure Cloud Platform in your Azure Cloud Mansion is the best touchstone. For this reason, I'd like to compete for the Azure Cloud Platform as an Azure Cloud Mansion's disciple instead of sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor!"
Gu Li was not a law-abiding person by nature. If he was given 'special privileges' directly, he would feel uncomfortable.
It would be better for him to rely on his own strength to make a name for himself!
Upon hearing Gu Li's words, Duan Rufeng looked at him with admiration before taking back the key to the Azure Cloud Platform Number Nine without saying anything.
"Since you've said so, I'll agree to your request! However, I have to remind you that without the key to the Azure Cloud Mansion Number Nine, it'll be difficult for you to enter the nine best Azure Cloud Platforms to cultivate with your strength. "
"In our Azure Cloud Mansion, due to the existence of the Black Armored Army, many disciples at the Divine Saint Stage and above are unwilling to become ordinary elders in order to compete for the position of a centurion in the Black Armored Army. This is because once they become ordinary elders, they won't be able to enter the Black Armored Army anymore!
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Duan Rufeng asked when he reached the end of his sentence.
"I understand, Uncle Duan."
Gu Li nodded.
As for Duan Lingtian who had returned to the Azure Cloud Mansion for a period of time, he, naturally, knew what his father meant.
Due to the rule of the Azure Cloud Mansion's elders not being able to enter the Black Armored Army, many Azure Cloud Mansion's disciples at the Divine Saint Stage and above were unwilling to become elders in the Azure Cloud Mansion.
For this reason, they would rather give up the high-class cultivation environment where they could sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor and choose the Azure Cloud Platform that was filled with unstable factors.
All the elders in the Azure Cloud Mansion had their own cultivation place. The cultivation environment there was comparable to the best nine Azure Cloud Platforms!
For this reason, among the Azure Cloud Mansion's disciples who competed for the Azure Cloud Platform, apart from the group of Eminent Saint Stage powerhouses, there were also many powerhouses at the Divine Saint Stage and above.
At the very least, the best nine Azure Cloud Platforms were usually occupied by Azure Cloud Mansion's disciples at the Divine Saint Stage.
Based on Gu Li's current intention, it was clear that he wanted to challenge the Azure Cloud Platform and compete for the best cultivation place!
Perhaps, he would be able to gain something during this process. It was something that he could not obtain by sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor.
Since Duan Rufeng respected Gu Li's opinion, it was only natural that Duan Lingtian would respect it as well.
"Senior Brother Gu Li, you'll have to work hard then … As long as I'm free, I'll definitely visit you!"
Duan Lingtian smiled as he looked at Gu Li.
"Why? Junior Brother Ling Tian, don't you want to challenge the Azure Cloud Platform? "
Gu Li asked with a smile.
"With my current cultivation base, it's impossible for me to obtain the best nine Azure Cloud Platforms under normal circumstances … Moreover, I'll be pressed for time in the coming days."
Duan Lingtian shook his head.
If he did not use the Jasper Celestial Sword, it would be difficult for him to defeat Azure Cloud Mansion's disciples at the Divine Saint Stage or above.
However, it was impossible for him to use the Jasper Celestial Sword in the Azure Cloud Platform!
The Jasper Celestial Sword was his killing weapon. As soon as the sword was unsheathed, it would definitely draw blood!
Those who cultivated in the Azure Cloud Platform were all Azure Cloud Mansion's disciples. They were all on his side. Naturally, he would not use the Jasper Celestial Sword on them.
In the next ten months, Duan Lingtian would be pressed for time. He needed the best cultivation environment so he would not have the time to challenge the Azure Cloud Platform at all.
Moreover, since he wanted to enter the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to cultivate, he needed an absolutely quiet and undisturbed cultivation environment.
His father, the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, could easily provide such a cultivation environment for him.
All in all, he did not plan to cultivate in the Azure Cloud Platform at all.
Perhaps, he would go there in the future.
However, that would be after he fulfilled the five-year pact.
"Junior Brother Ling Tian, did something happen to you?"
Naturally, Gu Li knew Duan Lingtian was not someone who was afraid of trouble. When he heard Duan Lingtian's words, he could faintly sense a dangerous aura.
When Duan Ling Tian heard this, he looked at Duan Ru Feng as if asking for Duan Ru Feng's opinion.
Duan Rufeng nodded.
"Senior Brother Gu Li …"
Then, Duan Lingtian told him about the five-year pact between him and Di Jue of the Dragons.
"Di Jue? The Five-clawed Golden Dragon from the Dragons?! "
After hearing Duan Lingtian's words, horror dawned on Gu Li's face as his eyes widened. He hastily said, "Junior Brother Ling Tian, no! You can't fulfill the five-year pact! It's too dangerous! It's too dangerous! "
At this moment, Gu Li seemed to have lost his composure. It was as though he was the one who was in danger and not Duan Lingtian.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Gu Li. There's still ten months left. I'm confident."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
"How confident are you?!"
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Gu Li was noncommittal. "Di Jue is a Five-clawed Golden Dragon from the Imperial Dragons. Although he hasn't fully matured, his strength is already comparable to some of the weaker Five-clawed Golden Dragon Elders. Moreover, you've also said that he was already at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage five years ago.
Now that five years have passed, it's very likely that he has already entered the Exemplary Saint Stage!
Even if he hasn't entered the Exemplary Saint Stage and is still at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage, he's still not someone you can deal with! Although you have the Devilseal Tablet, it can only deal with Devil Cultivators. Di Jue, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, isn't a Devil Cultivator! "
Gu Li said with a hint of dread on his face.
"For this reason, Junior Brother Ling Tian, it doesn't matter if you don't fulfill the five-year promise! Even if news of this spreads out, nobody will say that you're a coward. After all, you weren't even born when Di Jue became famous! "
Gu Li advised.
"Senior Brother Gu Li, there's no need for you to advise me anymore."
Duan Lingtian shook his head. "I've already decided on this matter. Don't worry, I won't joke about my life!"
"Moreover, you've known me for quite some time now. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would ask for trouble?"
Duan Lingtian asked with a smile when he reached the end of his sentence.
Gu Li was stunned.
Now that he thought about it, ever since they had known each other, this Junior Brother Ling Tian before him was indeed not the kind of person who would ask for trouble.
During the Death Duel outside the Heaven Palace's Hall of Death, this Junior Brother Ling Tian had overpowered Zhao Kun, a disciple from the Zhao Clan, and killed him even though most people did not think he would win.
"Junior Brother Ling Tian, it's different this time …"
