"No matter how you look at it, it's our Hunyuan Sect's destiny. Of the thirty contestants before us, Leaf Dao-Denier was eliminated. Not a single one of them was able to enter the Immortal Scripture Holy Land. That's a huge loss of face for the Hunyuan Sect.... "
"Yeah, it's not just the Hunyuan Sect. There are several other top sects that are in a similar situation. The Immortal Scripture Holy Land's ruler is arranging opponents for the final competition. This time, it seems he's specifically targeting the seeded contestants. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his intention is clear. He's trying to encourage newcomers to enter! "
"That's a bit of an idea. When the Holy Emissary picked them up, he didn't pick any of our seeded contestants. He obviously didn't approve of Leaf Dao-Denier, who entered thirty-eight times."
"Do you think we don't know that? But for the sake of the sect's face, the seeded contestants have to go. It's the same for the other sects. Who would've thought that the Immortal Scripture Holy Land's ruler would block their entry so clearly? In every round, the seeded contestants would meet each other. In the end, aside from a few top experts, almost all of them would be wiped out.... Furthermore, our newcomers were too weak. In the end, not a single one of them was selected. The Sect Lord is furious.... "
"Yeah, let's see what happens this time. I think, if nothing unexpected happens to Li Mubai, there will be no problem! I think he'll be able to maintain his demented state until the end of the Arcane Pocket Paradise! "
"Your grand-disciple Situ Qian also has a chance. Although he's participated many times, his progress is clear. Even if he's an old man, I don't think he can escape the notice of the Immortal Scripture Holy Land. Disciples like him will be taken into consideration. And Nguyễn Thanh Lan's progress is astonishing. She can actually keep up with Li Mubai in his demented state. Interesting.... "
"Indeed. Li Mubai and Nguyễn Thanh Lan have a good chance. As for my grand-disciple, we'll have to see if he's among the ten chosen by the Holy Emissary. If the Holy Emissary doesn't pick him, he'll be in danger...."
"We'll see when the time comes. Considering the thirty people who will enter, the Sect Lord will probably have to consider carefully. Based on the current situation, it seems that the Holy Land is determined to suppress the seeded contestants from our sects who have entered the Holy Land multiple times. The chances of a newcomer standing out will definitely increase. "
…
Time passed in the blink of an eye for cultivators.
In the blink of an eye, another eighty years had passed in the cave. This time, when Nguyễn Thanh Lan sensed that Li Mubai might be close to leaving the eighth floor, she had been paying attention to Li Mubai's movements. The reason was very simple. There was only one pagoda stele on the last floor. Although the last pagoda stele was extremely large, and the space in front of the stele was ten thousand kilometers wide, she was still worried that Li Mubai would proceed in a straight line. If that was the case, he would definitely arrive in the vicinity of the number one expert, Situ Qian.
As for her, she did not want others to discover the influence that Li Mubai, who was in the Mad Devil Realm, had on the people nearby.
Chi!
"It moved!"
After eighty years, Chen Hao finally moved. When Chen Hao leaped into the air, Nguyễn Thanh Lan's heart skipped a beat, and she abruptly followed, instantly increasing her speed to the limit and deliberately keeping pace with Chen Hao. At the same time, she tried to get closer to Chen Hao. To her relief, Li Mubai, who was in the Mad Devil Realm, did not react to her approach. In just a few minutes, she was close to Chen Hao's side.
Looking at the dark and empty eyes, she took a deep breath, summoned her courage, and reached out her hand to Chen Hao.
Buzz!
When she grabbed Chen Hao's hand, her entire body and soul trembled violently. She widened her eyes in shock and fear. Pain, a pain that made her heart bleed, was transmitted to her through her body.
She could not imagine what kind of heartache it was.
But what shocked her even more was that in this heartache, a terrifying and crazy willpower pervaded it. If this willpower attacked her, she was sure that her mind would be destroyed in an instant!
She held Chen Hao's hand tightly, wanting to comfort his heartache from the bottom of her heart.
At the same time, she quietly exerted her strength and moved to the side. She did not dare to make it too obvious. However, under her deliberate movements, she moved away from Situ Qian by about a thousand li and headed straight for the pagoda stele.
Buzz!
When she entered the range of the nine-storied pagoda stele, Nguyễn Thanh Lan only felt a moment of terrifying pressure before it disappeared. At this time, Li Mubai, who was in the Mad Devil state, began to devour the energy and pressure of heaven and earth!
However, in just a moment, Nguyễn Thanh Lan almost fell from the void, and her face turned pale.
Obviously, the pressure of the nine-storied pagoda stele's dao mark had exceeded the range that she could withstand.
At this moment, she had a clearer understanding of Situ Qian's strength. Situ Qian was indeed the most qualified existence to be Daluo Jinxian's number one expert in the Hunyuan Sect.
"Situ Qian is really powerful! Li Mubai in the Mad Devil Realm is naturally stronger, but … when his Mad Devil Realm disappears, who will be stronger? " Nguyễn Thanh Lan could not help but size up Chen Hao and Situ Qian in the distance. Finally, she looked at Chen Hao and thought to herself, "He should be … not weaker than Situ Qian, and he will definitely be stronger in the future! There are only two hundred years left. No matter how terrifying the pressure is, as long as I'm near the critical point, I can slowly try to become stronger … "
Nguyễn Thanh Lan felt that she had become the core of the whirlpool, and Chen Hao had shaken off her hand. She began to move away bit by bit, looking for the critical point. She was afraid that she would not be able to withstand the terrifying pressure for a short while, so she had to be careful to avoid being crushed. If she could not even escape into the area covered by Li Mubai, then it would be a tragedy.
…
When Situ Qian and the others woke up one after another, they found that Li Mubai and Nguyễn Thanh Lan had once again arrived in front of the nine-storied pagoda stele. They were even more amazed by Nguyễn Thanh Lan's improvement. Although Nguyễn Thanh Lan looked like she was in extreme pain at any time, and they were afraid that she would not be able to comprehend anything at all, it was already very terrifying that she could withstand the pressure of the nine-storied pagoda stele.
Nguyễn Thanh Lan had indeed fallen into an unprecedented pain. If it were not for Li Mubai's pressure "vacuum", she would have been the first genius to overestimate herself and die in the mystic realm grotto-heaven. This was because at the beginning, she could only hold on for half a minute before her body and soul were on the verge of collapse. If it were not for the critical point where she could quickly move into the supreme pressure, she would not have been able to escape from the range of the nine-storied pagoda stele's pressure.
However, as time passed, she was able to hold on for longer and longer. The progress of her body, soul, and will had surpassed the progress of the eight-storied pagoda stele by several times. This made her even more grateful to Li Mubai.
