It was precisely because of the stagnant Heavenly Dao Source that it chose to sit and watch any Heavenly Dao Source that walked on it …
Therefore, whether it was Wu Dong's or the Demon Lieutenant's footprints, they would remain for a period of time.
This period of time was also the only reason why Xie Tian saw the Demon Lieutenant's footprints.
Then what was the use of this period of time?
There was no other reason.
It was as if they were checking in during a daily patrol.
The Demon Lieutenant used this behavior to tell future generations how long ago they had been here.
Xie Tian would not be complacent because of his ability to see the whole picture. Instead, he felt a little solemn.
This behavior of the Demons meant at least two things.
First, this place seemed to have really become the territory of the Demons. Otherwise, such a routine patrol would never appear — even if it did, it would not be carried out by the Demon Lieutenant's team that could be easily killed by the Heaven's Equal. This was no different from suicide.
The second was …
"If there are really soldiers living here, I don't know how difficult their situation would be …"
The feeling of living under the eyes of the enemy was extremely uncomfortable.
And when living in such a predicament, and the survivors of a tragic war, their miserable days were something that Xie Tian did not dare to imagine.
On the other hand — —
"If they really lived until now like humans, then their temperament …"
Thinking of this, Xie Tian's pace unconsciously quickened.
After walking for more than ten days, he found at least eight faint footprints left by the Demon Lieutenant's.
The eight footprints decreased in number, and according to the interval, Xie Tian estimated that the Demons would leave footprints every two days.
This discovery once again confirmed his previous guess.
The black hole was long and seemed to have no end.
This time, Xie Tian and Wu Dong walked for three whole months.
The footprints left by the Demon Lieutenant were so faint that they were almost undetectable.
Just as Xie Tian was about to step over the forty-sixth footprint …
He suddenly stopped, his bloody eyes staring at the footprint next to his right foot.
"This, is not the Demons'!"
More than three months …
For the living beings living in the Southern Heaven Gate, it was only a fleeting moment.
However, this fleeting period of time suddenly became long because of certain events.
Chu Mo, who had transformed into a tower crashing demon, had a schedule that had reached an abnormal level.
Every ten days, he would come out of seclusion to challenge the Ancient Stairway Tower.
Every time, the amount of time spent would more or less increase. Then, he would return to the encampment and go into seclusion.
So far, Chu Mo had challenged the tower a total of twelve times.
He had also broken through to the fifteenth stage of the Ancient Sky Stairway Tower.
The result was the second best in the history of the South-Heaven Gate's Ancient Stairway Pagoda.
Previously, everyone thought that Chu Mo's potential would surpass Xun Song's when he challenged the pagoda several tens of thousands of years ago.
But now, this kind of thought had already fled from almost everyone's mind.
There was no other way.
Let reality speak for itself.
At the same time …
After Chu Mo's performance was determined to be inferior to Xun Song's, another wave began to brew in the South-Heaven Gate's Ancient Sky Stairway Tower.
It was undeniable that …
Xun Song had become a benchmark for the South-Heaven Gate.
With this benchmark, and the fact that no genius had succeeded in challenging the tower in the past ten thousand years, the pressure from Xun Song had turned the South-Heaven Gate's Ancient Sky Stairway Tower into an invisible forbidden ground.
Basically, not many people had the confidence to challenge the tower and become Xun Song's opponent.
Finally, someone dared to challenge Xun Song's tower, and it was Chu Mo from the Hunyuan Immortal Sect, whose talent was said to be higher than Xun Song's.
While everyone was looking forward to Chu Mo's performance, they were also facing a greater pressure that was about to take shape.
And now, Chu Mo's performance was inferior to Xun Song's …
Not only did it release the pressure that he had placed on the crowd, it also reduced the pressure that Xun Song had placed on the crowd.
Therefore, when Chu Mo stood outside the Ancient Sky Stairway Tower for the thirteenth time, making the final adjustments before challenging the tower …
From the corner of his eye, he saw three cultivators walking towards him.
"You guys …"
"Greetings, Young Master Chu Mo!"
"Greetings, Senior Brother Chu Mo!"
"Senior Brother, we would like to try too!"
…
Chu Mo was startled, before he nodded and said, "Oh, so you guys or me?"
"After you, Senior Brother!"
"Okay."
Chu Mo did not mind that there were people challenging the tower with him. He only responded lightly and walked into the tower with his harvest from ten days of seclusion.
The other three cultivators who wanted to challenge the tower were a little surprised.
"This Young Master Chu Mo is not as arrogant as the rumors say …"
"Yes, this is a pleasant surprise …"
"One spot every ten thousand years. Do we really have any hope of competing with him?"
"At least our cultivation base is halfway to Heaven's Equal. Believe in yourself!"
…
Chu Mo did not realize that his personality had changed.
The prodigy who had wantonly flaunted his 60-meter-tall Dao Tablet at Burial Tablet Cliff had now become a diligent person who devoted himself to cultivation in order to become a disciple of a big shot.
Fortunately, he still had an opponent.
This opponent was called Xun Song.
Xun Song, who had heard that Chu Mo's performance after the second round of talent was not as good as his, heaved a long sigh of relief …
However, when he heard about Chu Mo's attitude toward the three cultivators who wanted to challenge the tower, his calm expression darkened a little.
He did not understand why he was so moved by Chu Mo's calm reaction …
It was just that when he heard this news, he could not help but think of the voice and smile of an extremely detestable scavenger.
"Oh."
"You guys go first or I'll go first."
"Okay."
…
Xun Song murmured the words that Chu Mo had said to the three cultivators and closed his eyes.
However, before he closed his eyes, he softly ridiculed —
"What are you pretending for!"
And these four words …
They were also what Wu Dong wanted to say to Xie Tian at this moment.
After three months, not long after Xie Tian found footprints that did not belong to the Demons …
In front of them appeared something that was too horrible to look at. It could even be said that they could not tell whether it was human or not.
What was a human?
Walking upright did not mean that one was called a human.
If not for the fact that he could sense that the other party's ragged clothes and the extremely sharp aura that emanated from his body, Wu Dong would have had the guts to ask where he came from.
However, Xie Tian's performance was still far beyond his imagination.
Under his stunned gaze, Xie Tian, who had just killed nine Demon Lieutenants not long ago, respectfully cupped his fists and said, "Senior, we are scavengers who accepted the rescue mission of Burning Sun Valley, may I ask …"
If one were to say that Wu Dong felt that Xie Tian had once called him senior, it was fear mixed with a hint of smugness …
However, at this moment, when Xie Tian called someone who was also half a step to Heaven's Equal, he could not bear it anymore.
However, what was even more unacceptable was that before Xie Tian had finished speaking …
"Scram!"
A low voice that sounded like metal clashing came from the other party's mouth. Then, the other party's figure disappeared from Wu Dong's sight.
"Damn it, is this the attitude you have when facing your savior!" Wu Dong was hopping mad. "Xie Shao, let's go back. If he wants to die here, he will die here!"
Xie Tian was a little surprised. "Why did you have such a big reaction?"
"He told us to scram!"
"Just pretend you didn't hear it."
Xie Tian smiled. His line of sight seemed to move along with a jumping object. Then, he walked forward.
