"You're crazy!" Lonemoon glared at him. "You've seen what's going on on the second level. Who knows what's going on up there? "
"That's why … I'll go up alone." Yi Qing glanced at everyone and then at the disappearing wasteland. He said in a low voice, "This place is disappearing. This means that the Immortal Ascension Pagoda will not let us stay on this level. There's no turning back. I'll go up and see if there's any other way out. If it's not dangerous, you can come back up. If … "He paused for a while and continued," You can come back up when you absolutely can. We haven't been back for so long. Master will definitely come looking for us. "
"…" Lonemoon did not reply. This was indeed the only way out.
Yi Qing closed his eyes. Dealing with eight Traveling Immortals at once had indeed exhausted all his energy. He continued to regulate his breathing for an hour before opening his eyes. He picked up the blood-stained sword beside him and walked up to the last level.
The moment he reached the last step, the scenery before him changed. It was different from the first and second levels. He seemed to be inside a palace. There were spirit fires burning all around him. Beneath his feet was the glow of a transportation array. Five people sat on a platform in the middle of the palace.
"I was wondering who it was that came up to the third level. Isn't that the sword cultivator beside that demoness?" The person in the middle said in surprise.
"That's right, I recognize him," another person said. Another person spoke up. "I saw him on the day of the sect's grand competition. He's the one beside that demoness."
"Hmph, I didn't go looking for trouble with her personally. I didn't expect her people to come knocking on our door."
Yi Qing frowned and gripped his sword tightly. He looked at the five people and said, "You … are the Traveling Immortals who disappeared with Yu Haiheng!"
"Traveling Immortals?" The person in the middle suddenly asked and snorted coldly. Suddenly, the entire sky was filled with an overwhelming pressure that pressed down on Yi Qing.
He was not paying attention and fell to one knee. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. He was completely defenseless. This was not the pressure of a Traveling Immortal. These people …
"Who said we were Traveling Immortals?" The person continued. "Thanks to the Patriarch's protection, the Immortal Ascension Pagoda has restored our cultivation. Even our immortal bones have been nurtured. How can traveling immortals compare to us? We are already Perfected Immortals! "
After saying that, he unleashed an aura that was several times stronger and carried a murderous aura toward the other party.
"Hmph, although we can't kill that demoness with our own hands, killing you can also relieve the anger in our hearts."
Yi Qing gritted his teeth and gathered all the Spirit Qi in his body to force himself to stand up. He waved his sword and with a "ding", he barely blocked the opponent's oppressive attack.
He had already guessed that the third level would not be simple, but he did not expect it to be the five of them. Furthermore, they had recovered their immortal bones. Yi Qing gripped the sword in his hand with all his might. In the current situation, he could only fight!

At the top of the tower.
Hmm?
A figure shrouded in black mist exclaimed.
"To be able to hold on until now, perhaps he really does have the talent to ascend to immortality. What a pity … "He sighed, but there was no hint of pity in his words. In any case, there was an indescribable coldness in his voice.
"If this goes on, those five disappointing things will really fall into his hands." His smile deepened, and the black Qi around him became thicker and thicker. "Heh heh … I wonder what kind of expression he will have when he comes to this top level and finds out about the truth of ascension."
"Innate Sword Embodiment … Such a material should belong to me. What an idiot. There are thousands of Great Daos, but he chose the path of exterminating demons and protecting the Dao. In order to save some idiots, he barged into the pagoda. Now that he can't even protect himself, who can save him … "
Bam!
Before he could finish talking to himself, there was suddenly a loud sound above his head. A figure fell down with a crash. After a while, she got up, patted the dust off her body and waved in his direction.
"Hey, hello!" Shen Ying walked a few steps closer. "Excuse me, have you seen my chef? What's his name … Qing, the one who looks quite handsome! "
She had not eaten properly for half a month. She really missed him!
There was silence for two seconds.
"Who are you?!" The black fog around the black figure suddenly surged, and a faint crimson gaze swept over. "How did you get in here?"
"I jumped in." She pointed at the hole above her head.
Jumped in! Could it be that she rushed in from the outside? How could that be! There was actually someone in this world who could break through his Immortal Ascension Pagoda!
"Speaking of which, have you seen Chef before? He's about this tall … "She gestured and began to describe." Double eyelids, long hair, wearing white clothes, oh yes … he's a Sword Cultivator. "
"Sword Cultivator!" The black figure's voice deepened. The surging black Qi slowed down. He sized her up for a while, as if suppressing his surprise, and laughed even more sinisterly. "So you're in cahoots with the Sword Cultivator below."
"You've seen him before?!" Shen Ying walked a few steps closer happily.
"Hmph, I didn't think that after waiting in this pagoda for millions of years, the world would finally produce two people who have the ability to reach the top of the pagoda. Really … the heavens are on my side! Hahahaha … "He suddenly laughed maniacally. The black mist around him intensified, and in the blink of an eye, it covered the entire top of the pagoda. The space that was bright just a moment ago suddenly darkened.
Shen Ying subconsciously rubbed her arms. The black mist made her feel uncomfortable. "This smoke …" Was it special effects?
"You're indeed someone who can reach the top of the pagoda. Even in such a thick demonic Qi, you're still safe and sound." The black figure sighed, sounding even more satisfied.
"That …" She just felt that it was blocking her view.
"Since you know that Sword Cultivator, you must be the so-called Invincible Sect Master, right? Yu Haiheng was defeated by you! "
"Huh?" Shen Ying was stunned.
"Are you curious how I know?" The black shadow laughed even more smugly. "It's all thanks to you that my disappointing descendants of the Yu Family were taken care of by you."
"Er …"
"That's right, I'm also from the Yu Family. I'm the true owner of the Immortal Ascension Pagoda, and the first head of the Yu Family, Yu Haotian." His tone was cold, and with every sentence he spoke, the black Qi around him grew thicker. "Are you surprised?! Everyone thinks that I've already ascended to immortality, but they don't know that I've already abandoned my Dao and become a demon. I've been staying in this pagoda, waiting for a chance to become a true demon! Even the Yu Family has forgotten about my existence. "
"Actually …"
"Speaking of which, if you hadn't forced this generation's family head into a desperate situation, the blood curse I planted on the descendants of the Yu Family would not have been triggered. It caused me to appear in the world earlier. "
"I'm not …"
"You don't have to be nervous. The Yu Family … Although they are my descendants, their lives and deaths have nothing to do with me. " He sounded relaxed, as if he had no intention of avenging the Yu Family. "I restored their cultivation because they woke me up."
"No, what I mean is …"
"I asked them to spread the news about the Immortal Ascension Pagoda so that all the cultivators in the world would gather in the pagoda." His tone was full of pride. "Once they enter the pagoda, they will fall into mental demons. As time passes, their bodies, primordial spirits and cultivation will all be absorbed by the pagoda, becoming nutrients for me to become a demon. That's why this pagoda has another name – Demonic Refinement Pagoda. "
