The 55th checkpoint of the Stairway Tree was the fourth gathering point for humans on the Stairway Tree.
When Lin Huang was still a blue flame-level, he had used all his strength to get to this checkpoint, apart from a few of his trump cards that he did not use.
Since he had not logged in for two months, his points had not changed. However, he was still at the top of the annual leaderboard.
As soon as Lin Huang logged in, all the members of the Evil Alliance who were online saw his name at the top of the leaderboard lit up.
At that moment, the Evil Alliance that had been quiet for more than a month became lively again.
"After disappearing for almost two months, Lin Xie has finally logged in!"
"I wonder if Lin Xie will get more points this time."
"Do you think this is still the 21st checkpoint? From the 56th checkpoint to the 60th checkpoint, all the checkpoints with monsters are on immortal-level rank-7 to rank-9. No matter how powerful Lin Xie is, he's only on blue flame-level. Do you think a blue flame-level can move freely among the monsters that are on immortal-level rank-7 to rank-9? "
"You're right. Even if he leveled up to purple flame-level after two months, it's impossible for him to do that."
Naturally, Lin Huang had no idea what the people were talking about. After logging in to the Evil Alliance, he did not proceed to the checkpoints immediately. Instead, he headed straight to the foothold of the Heaven Alliance.
The 55th checkpoint of the Stairway Tree was the most competitive checkpoint among the organizations. This was because most of the people on this checkpoint were on immortal-level rank-7 to rank-9, and there were many of them. Although the people on the 63rd checkpoint were more powerful, the number of them was less than 1% of the people on the 55th checkpoint.
On the 55th checkpoint of the Stairway Tree, the Heaven Alliance alone had more than 1,500 members. Of course, the Heaven Alliance was the organization with the most members on this checkpoint. The Hong Alliance, which ranked second, had more than 900 members on this checkpoint while the Tang Alliance, which ranked third, had more than 800 members.
There were a total of 268 genius organizations in the Evil Alliance. On the 55th checkpoint, it was obvious who was the most powerful.
Naturally, the first echelon was the Heaven Alliance, the Hong Alliance, the Tang Alliance, and the Divine Alliance. They had more than 500 members on the 55th checkpoint. There were eleven organizations in the second echelon, and each of them had over a hundred members on the 55th floor. There were slightly more people in the third echelon, about 50. The number of people who had advanced to the 55th level was more than 20. Then there was the fourth echelon. Only a few people had reached the 55th level. This echelon had the most people, with about 180 people. Finally, there were the monstrous forces at the bottom. They didn't even have a single member who made it to the 55th level. There were more than ten forces of this level.
Of course, as the strongest monstrous force in the Evil Alliance, the Heaven Alliance's strength was not only due to its large number of people, but more importantly, the existence of those peak experts.
Excluding Lin Huang, there were a total of 18 supreme geniuses in the Heaven Alliance. 15 of them had a combat strength of immortal-level rank-9. The other three were immortal-level rank-7 and rank-8 powerhouses. Their abilities were sufficient to kill an imperial-level.
Even the Hong Alliance, which ranked second in terms of overall abilities, only had 12 supreme geniuses and seven immortal-level rank-9s. It was less than half of the Heaven Alliance. As for the Tang Alliance and the Divine Alliance, there were even fewer supreme geniuses. There were less than ten of them.
Since the Heaven Alliance's strength was fully displayed on the 55th checkpoint, almost nobody dared to offend the Heaven Alliance members on the 55th checkpoint.
Unlike the previous checkpoints, people from the Divine Alliance would occasionally offend them because the Divine Alliance's ability was not much weaker than the Heaven Alliance's in the previous checkpoints.
As Lin Huang walked towards the Heaven Alliance foothold, he encountered many powerhouses from various monstrous organizations along the way.
In reality, he was mentally prepared to be challenged, but nothing happened along the way. There were quite a number of spectators staring at him. Almost everyone along the way was paying attention to him, but no one stood out to block his way.
'Could it be that they know that I've spent all my points, so they don't think there's anything to gain from challenging me, so they gave up?' Lin Huang thought to himself.
In reality, the real reason why nobody challenged him was that the Heaven Alliance was too powerful on the 55th checkpoint.
Since there were many Heaven Alliance members on this checkpoint, they occupied the three thickest branches on the south side of the 55th checkpoint of the Stairway Tree. There were three footholds and three immortal-level rank-9 powerhouses guarding each of them.
Lin Huang walked on the first branch, and the Heaven Alliance's foothold's reception was on that branch.
He had logged off as soon as he arrived on the 55th checkpoint. He had never been to the Heaven Alliance's foothold on this checkpoint. Since he was here, it was only natural for him to meet them.
Soon, Lin Huang arrived at the bubble leaf where the reception was located. The buildings could be seen clearly in the translucent white bubble.
After confirming that he was at the right place, Lin Huang walked forward and pressed his hand on the surface of the bubble.
A moment later, a small door that was about two meters tall opened, and Lin Huang stepped into it.
As soon as he stepped into the leaf where the reception was located, a tall, young lady welcomed him.
"Mr. Lin Xie, please follow me."
Lin Huang was stunned for a moment, but he followed them anyway.
"Did you guys know that I was coming?"
"Yes, Mr. Lin Xie, we found out as soon as you logged into the Heaven Alliance. Our Surveillance Mosquito captured you walking towards the Heaven Alliance's branch, "the young lady said and took a good look at Lin Huang.
"So, where are you bringing me to?" Lin Huang could roughly guess the answer to this question, but he wanted to get confirmation from the lady.
"To see the guardians." The lady's answer was within his expectations.
The guardians were the three immortal-level rank-9 supreme geniuses who stayed on the 55th checkpoint. Each of them was guarding a foothold on the 55th checkpoint, so they were called guardians.
"Who's the guardian of this branch?" Lin Huang had no idea about the other supreme geniuses in the Heaven Alliance aside from Chan Dou. He had never paid attention to such information.
"It's Master Feng Yi."
"Feng Yi?" Lin Huang had no idea what the name meant.
The lady fell into silence as soon as she said the name. She did not explain further.
Lin Huang did not bother to ask further. To him, it did not matter who the guardian was.
Soon, Lin Huang followed the lady to a room.
"Go in …" The lady seemed like she wanted to say something, but she hesitated and did not finish her sentence.
Lin Huang raised an eyebrow when he saw that and pushed the door open.
As soon as he stepped into the room, Lin Huang realized that the room was not big. It was less than 30 square meters. There were a few huge bookshelves by the wall. A muscular man was standing in front of one of the bookshelves with his back facing Lin Huang, looking for something.
"Take a seat," the man said without turning his head as if he heard Lin Huang entering the room.
Lin Huang did not say anything. He walked straight to the sofa next to him and sat down.
A moment later, the man took a book from the bookshelf and turned around. He placed the book on the desk and looked up at Lin Huang.
"Lin Xie, just tell us what you need from us. Chan Dou has already spoken to him." Feng Yi spoke after checking Lin Huang out. However, he remained expressionless and his tone did not show any emotion.
Lin Huang thought the man would make small talk with him. He did not expect the man to be so direct.
"I'll be straightforward then. I need detailed information about all the checkpoints after checkpoint 55, including checkpoint 63 and above." Lin Huang told him his purpose.
Feng Yi furrowed his brows slightly, but returned to his original expressionless face in an instant.
"I can send you the information from checkpoint 55 to 63. Only the chief and deputy chief have the authority to send the information after checkpoint 63. I don't have enough authority. "
"Alright, then we'll go from the 55th to the 63rd floor. I'm not in a hurry to get the information after that. I'll look for the chief when I'm free in the future. "Lin Huang nodded.
He was not surprised because the information on the Stairway Tree from checkpoint 55 and above was classified to all the genius organizations. It was even more classified for those on checkpoint 63 and above.
"I've sent you the information. It's the Heaven Alliance's internal information. You can't leak it or send it to other Heaven Alliance members below checkpoint 55. You can only read it yourself. Of course, there's a restriction on the information too. You don't have the authority to send it. " Feng Yi was terrifyingly efficient. He had sent the information almost as soon as Lin Huang was done speaking.
'This guy's really impatient …' Lin Huang could not help but think to himself.
"Is there anything else you need?" Feng Yi asked.
"Nothing else. Thank you." Lin Huang shook his head and got up from the sofa to leave.
Just when he took a few steps and was about to reach the door, Feng Yi's voice came from behind.
"Are you back to get to checkpoint 63?"
