Although these skeletons were already pitch-black and devoid of life, they had all left behind a mark on Mount Buzhou.
The remnant aura in the skeletons told those who came later that they had once fought here. Even if there was no hope, they were not possessed.
"After all, they had thousands of years of cultivation. How could they be willing to let others take advantage of them?"
Sun Qiqi lamented. "If it were me, I would also fight to the end. If I were to meet this group of shameless people, I would definitely tear them into pieces!"
"Pitiful people must have a detestable side!"
Ye Tianze said. "After cultivating to such a level, they should have shouldered more responsibilities for the tribe, but they only thought of themselves. Although they were fighting, from the moment they entered the nine-story pagoda and accepted the rules, they were destined to have such a fate."
Sun Qiqi froze for a moment. "But not everyone is like you, thinking about the righteousness of the race. Everyone has their own choice."
"So I don't pity them."
Ye Tianze said. "If there comes a day when you enter here and I see you become a skeleton, I won't pity you either."
"You really don't know how to speak."
Sun Qiqi said in annoyance.
"Haha."
Ye Tianze sneered. "They died here, which is their retribution. However, those who did not succeed in their resistance will still harm the tribe. Those who succeeded in their resistance here are only a portion. Perhaps, there are more who did not succeed in their resistance and have already infiltrated the tribe!"
Sun Qiqi felt her hair stand on end when she thought of this. The nine-story pagoda had been standing here for thirty thousand years. How many skeletons were there?
How many pagoda masters had come out of the nine-story pagoda in the past thirty thousand years? Moreover, they were all top figures of the human race.
If these people were to become those fellows' dowry, how terrifying would it be?
"What kind of place is Orchid Valley!"
Ye Tianze said. "Is Panwang Hall also under control?"
"Why aren't you worried about the Black Lotus?" Sun Qiqi asked.
"I'm afraid they won't be able to get their hands on the Black Lotus," Ye Tianze said.
He didn't explain. Sun Qiqi was about to ask why, but Ye Tianze picked up the key and began to draw the array pattern.
Then, these bones were all taken away by Ye Tianze and integrated into the Primeval Chaos Umbrella. When these people cultivated to this level, their bones wouldn't decompose for thousands or tens of thousands of years. Their bones were already comparable to some ordinary divine materials.
Sun Qiqi thought that Ye Tianze took the bones away to bury them, but Ye Tianze wanted to use the bones to their last bit of warmth.
He believed from the bottom of his heart that this group of selfish people did not deserve to be buried under Mount Buzhou.
Human Race, Imperial Dragon City, inside a palace.
There was a group of black-robed men gathered there. Their faces were covered by dark runes.
"The new fruit has ripened, but the possession failed. According to the feedback of the nine-story pagoda, this fruit shouldn't have ripened so quickly. Two of the fruits have withered!"
The voice of the black-robed man came from the void. His face couldn't be seen, so it was unknown which black-robed man said it. The atmosphere in the hall became tense.
"Someone discovered the secret of the nine-story pagoda? If there are awakened ones, they must be eliminated. "
"The possessed soul was cut off and has now returned to the soul cup. Fortunately, it wasn't destroyed. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to bear the consequences. This person is a big shot!"
"Activate the nine-story pagoda and eliminate the awakened ones at all costs!"
The black-robed men's voices were unusually neat. If outsiders were here, they would feel shocked. The strength of these black-robed men was all top-notch. They were all strong people like Gongsun Hong.
Some were even stronger than Gongsun Hong.
"Seconded!"
The black-robed men said in unison.
However, after a few hours, there was bad news.
"The awakened ones opened the array to enter the prison!"
"Impossible, how can the awakened ones enter the prison? Did you make a mistake?! "
"No, he's in the prison now. He seems to be controlling the nine-story pagoda's array!"
The hall suddenly became silent, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.
"Immediately use the array to trap him in the prison."
"The array has failed. He seems to have mastered the nine-story pagoda's array pattern. He broke the chain and entered the next floor."
"Breakthrough, he broke through the fifth floor's array pattern and modified the array pattern. This person must be an array master."
"Impossible, there are only a few array masters in the human race. They're all in Imperial Dragon City. Where did this array master come from?"
"Breakthrough, he broke through the sixth floor …"
"He broke through the seventh floor …"
"He entered the eighth floor …"
"Ah, he's going to enter the central hub of the ninth floor. It's over, he controls all the arrays. We've lost contact with the nine-story pagoda …"
"Quickly, immediately send people to Mount Buzhou. Take the array pestle and take back the nine-story pagoda. We must take it back!"
The hall was in a panic.
"But this person controls the nine-story pagoda. This person's strength is below the Emperor Realm. I'm afraid he's invincible. Anyone below the Emperor Realm will die!"
"The Emperor Realm can't move. Not to mention the Heaven Punishment Array, if the Human Sovereign finds out, we'll definitely die!"
"Then what should we do? Without the nine-story pagoda, we'll all be trapped here."
"Wait … wait for the Human Sovereign to fall, wait for the Human Sovereign Road to open, wait for the one from the Black Lotus to recover and hide the Heaven Punishment Array. This is the only way."
The hall discussed for a long time and gradually calmed down.
At the same time, Ye Tianze inscribed the array pattern on the ninth floor of the nine-story pagoda and inserted it into the hub.
Sun Qiqi didn't expect that the nine-story pagoda really had nine floors. The original third floor was actually the fourth floor.
That prison was the real third floor. It belonged to the prisoners of the nine-story pagoda. When they entered the next floor, the chains inside suddenly activated to trap them.
Unfortunately, Ye Tianze seemed to know the array pattern inside very well. With the help of the key, he directly broke the array pattern that activated the chains.
When they came to the central hub, as Ye Tianze's array pattern entered the nine-story pagoda, the pagoda was truly under their control.
"There are actually five floors, all of which are space with time rules!"
Sun Qiqi couldn't believe it.
The fourth floor, which was the floor with time rules that they had entered before, was a day in the outside world, a year in the inside world.
The fifth floor also had time rules, but the flow of time here was faster than the fourth floor. A day in the outside world was ten years inside.
A day in the outside world was a hundred years inside the sixth floor.
A day in the outside world was a thousand years inside the seventh floor.
They didn't enter the eighth floor, but Ye Tianze said that it was very likely that a day in the outside world was ten thousand years inside the pagoda.
Although they didn't enter, Sun Qiqi reached the seventh floor. However, it was only for a moment, but she felt that she had aged.
If she entered the eighth floor, she feared that she wouldn't even be able to stay for a moment before her lifespan would be consumed by the power of time.
The ninth floor was the central hub that controlled all the layers of array formations. Only by occupying this place could one be considered to have control of the entire nine-story pagoda.
"They should have already discovered it."
Ye Tianze said, "I need enough time to completely refine this hub!"
"What do you mean? You haven't completely controlled the array formation here?"
Sun Qiqi asked in surprise.
"Control is control, refining is refining. This is not the same. I only used the key to enter my own array pattern, isolating their ability to contact the nine-story pagoda."
Ye Tianze said, "For the time being, they think that I have refined the nine-story pagoda, but they will soon discover that I am only using a smokescreen. So, if they want to truly control this pagoda, they will have to refine the central hub. That way, even if they come with the real array pestle, it will be useless.
"Only by erasing the will of the nine-story pagoda's true master and entering my own mark can I be considered to have refined it."
Ye Tianze said.
"I will protect you. You can refine it!" Sun Qiqi said.
