Yi Qing and Lonemoon led the three family heads as they fought and retreated. They did not know how much time had passed in the pagoda. Only then did they find a chance to adjust their breathing. But the three family heads' injuries were too serious. The injuries they sustained when they tried to wake them up were secondary. The main reason was that they had been obsessed with their mental demons for too long and had damaged their foundations. The Spirit Qi in their bodies had almost dissipated. What was even stranger was that they could not draw Qi into their bodies in this pagoda.
The surrounding Spirit Qi was so thick that it was almost solid, but it seemed fake and could not be guided into their bodies. That was why their injuries could not be healed. Lonemoon guessed that there must be some kind of restriction inside that they had never seen before.
"What should we do?" Lonemoon was a little annoyed. "If this goes on, even if they do not succumb to their mental demons, they will die of exhaustion here."
"That depends on what the family heads think?" Yi Qing looked meaningfully at the three people sitting on the ground.
The three of them were stunned. "Supremacy, what do you mean?"
"They are the traveling immortals of your family. Some of them might succumb to their mental demons and lose their sense of self … "Yi Qing did not continue.
The three of them paled. They immediately understood what he meant. Succumb to their mental demons and lose their sense of self. Given their current situation, they did not have time to waste. If they could not wake them up, they would die.
For a moment, everyone was silent. The three family heads exchanged a look. After a while, they seemed to have made up their minds and nodded.
Xuan Yuanyu took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. "Supremacy Yi Qing, we understand what you mean. If we really cannot … our three families will only remember your kindness in saving our lives. " It would be good if they could be awakened, but if they had really been eroded by their mental demons and lost their sense of self, even if they left the pagoda, they would only be demonic creatures that only knew how to kill.
"Good!" Yi Qing heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Lonemoon and said, "When they catch up later, you lure the four Supremacies away. There is no need to fight them. Just hold them back and make them unable to catch up to you."
With that said, he looked at the other three and asked, "Family Head Yi, do you have a Dharma artifact that can trap the traveling immortals?"
Yi Feng thought about it and nodded. "Yes! However, I'm afraid we won't be able to trap the Traveling Immortals for long with just Dharma artifacts. "
"We just need to be able to trap him for an hour." Yi Qing turned to the other two and said, "Patriarch Yin and Patriarch Xuan Yuan, help us from the side. No matter who it is, just trap one Traveling Immortal, leave the rest to me. "
With that said, he turned back to look at Lonemoon. "After an hour, lure the other four over."
"You want to defeat them one by one?" Lonemoon was shocked, and his eyes brightened.
"En!" He nodded. "That's all we can do now." He hoped that the group of people wouldn't see through him.
"Alright! I'll listen to you. "Lonemoon nodded and took a deep breath.
Yi Qing briefed them on the details. In less than a quarter of an hour, they could vaguely feel the suppressive force of many traveling immortals heading their way.
"Coming!" Lonemoon and Yi Qing exchanged a look and flew out together.

Outside Hua Yuan City.
"Wow, what a tall tower." Shen Ying looked up at the towering white tower in front of her. It occupied almost half of Hua Yuan City and could be seen from a few miles away.
"Of course, I heard that this tower leads directly to the Immortal Realm. Of course it's extraordinary." The person beside her explained excitedly, "Although there are only three levels in the tower, I heard that there are infinite mysteries inside. It's like a world of its own. Miss, I can only send you up to this point. You have to go in yourself. "
The person pointed to the city gates of Hua Yuan City in front of them and flew down on his sword.
"Thank you, Little Brother!" Shen Ying smiled at him. After leaving the Demon Realm, she had been wandering around for half a month and still could not find the Immortal Ascension Pagoda. Fortunately, she met a good person who was willing to give her a lift. There were still many good people in this world.
"Don't mention it. Yin Tian City is not far from here anyway. It's on the way." The man smiled back at her and flew up again. "I'll leave first then. Goodbye!"
Shen Ying quickly waved at him. Seeing that he was far away, she entered the city.
Up close, the Immortal Ascension Pagoda seemed even bigger. From time to time, wisps of Immortal Qi would slide across its surface. Many cultivators gathered around the pagoda, some with high and some with low cultivation levels. The door of the pagoda was open and there was no one guarding it. However, most of the cultivators present were just watching. Very few of them entered.
"It's so lively," she said subconsciously.
"What kind of lively is this!" The person beside her replied. "This pagoda has been here for more than half a month. It was lively during the first few days. I heard that all the Soul Formation cultivators and traveling immortals from the big sects and aristocratic families are here. Most of the experts from the Upper Azure World are gathered here. The highest cultivation level of those outside is only at the Nascent Soul stage. It can't be compared to the first few days. "
"Oh." Shen Ying nodded. "Then why don't they go in?"
"That's the Immortal Ascension Pagoda. Who would dare to enter without reaching the Soul Formation stage?" The person continued, "I heard that there are three levels in the pagoda. Each level is extremely dangerous. Only by passing all three levels and reaching the top of the pagoda can one ascend to immortality. Right now, only the experts from the various aristocratic families and sects are going in. "
"Is it so scary inside?"
"Of course …"
"Oh." She pointed to the top of the pagoda with a serious expression. "Then why don't we just fly up from the outside?"
Huh?
(⊙o⊙)
The person paused and froze on the spot. There's such a method?!
"Didn't they say that we only have to reach the top of the pagoda?"
"Er … that's what the rumor said." The person paused for a while, thinking about the feasibility of this method. After a while, he shook his head and said, "This is an immortal pagoda. There must be protective array formations around it. How can we just fly …"
Before he could finish speaking, he felt the figure beside him shrink. The next moment, there was a cracking sound and the ground sank a few feet. The woman who was standing beside him just now squatted down and leaped. Like an arrow released from a bow, she shot up into the sky.
Wow … She really … really flew up, hey!

Inside the pagoda.
The few of them used almost all their strength to finally subdue the eight possessed traveling immortals. Although Yi Qing suggested the direction, there was still a problem midway. Fifteen minutes after Lonemoon lured the traveling immortals away. Those people seemed to have sensed something was wrong. They gave up on Lonemoon and turned back.
The plan to take them down one by one was almost ruined. Fortunately, Yi Qing burst out at the last moment and held on. Fortunately, four of these traveling immortals woke up. But they had been trapped in their mental demons for too long. Compared to the three patriarchs, they were more seriously injured. Even walking was a problem.
Lonemoon was so tired that he fell to the ground. He looked at Yi Qing, who was the only one still standing. Then, he saw the staircase that led to the next level. After panting for a while, he said, "I can't move anymore. What should we do next? Do we still go up? "
Yi Qing sat cross-legged and adjusted his breathing for a while. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "You guys wait here. I'll go up alone!"
"What!"
