Seeing these three words, the cheers of the Western District disciples came to an abrupt halt. Everyone's expression froze as they stared at the Profound Heaven Tower in disbelief.
"This … there must be a mistake …"
"How could this be …"
"Is this an illusion?"
…
Not only did the disciples think that they had seen wrongly, but many of the Spirit Severing elders also thought that there was something wrong with their eyes. Some of them didn't even hesitate to channel their spirit energy into their eyes to look again. Only then did they confirm that the name displayed on the Profound Heaven Tower was correct. Those three words were really Yui Kimi and not Shuiyao!
"Hahaha, Yui Kimi, it's our Eastern District's Yui Kimi!!!" The first person to laugh out loud was Elder Liu from the East Courtyard. When he saw that his favorite disciple was the first to appear on the Profound Heaven Tower, he almost burst into tears on the spot.
Immediately after, all the disciples of the Eastern District reacted and immediately burst into the most enthusiastic screams and applause. In order to return the mocking and ridicule from before, these disciples used all of their skills, causing the entire Profound Heaven Tower to be immersed in their frenzied cheers.
The elders who had previously kicked Yui Kimi when she was down all opened their mouths and awkwardly looked at the name on the Profound Heaven Tower. They didn't know what to say. They all agreed that Shuiyao wouldn't be surpassed, but they didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly.
"What's there to be proud of? Isn't it just first place …" A Southern District elder frowned and disdainfully said.
"That's right, she really thinks she's so great …" Someone immediately agreed.
In any case, these people just couldn't bear to see others do well. No matter what the situation was, they could always find fault with you. When it came to kicking someone when they were down, they were faster than anyone else. In fact, very few people knew that the competition between these elders was very intense. They had all tried to recruit Yui Kimi before, but they were all rejected. This was the main reason why they couldn't bear to see Yui Kimi become first place.
However, just as everyone was discussing, the light from the Profound Heaven Tower flickered once again. Not long after the three words Yui Kimi were formed, the black fog from the fifth floor exploded. This time, it was still the three words Yui Kimi. The entire process took less than ten breaths of time.
In an instant, the surroundings quieted down. Everyone felt as if they were in a dream. In the past, the higher one went in the Profound Heaven Tower trial, the slower one's speed would be. But this time, it seemed to be the opposite. This Yui Kimi's speed was getting faster and faster. She even surpassed the second place by an entire floor!
Just as Yui Kimi entered the fifth floor, the fourth floor finally welcomed the second person. Unfortunately, the appearance of this name caused the West Campus to suffer once again, because the second person was not the expected Shui Yao, but Luo Yuxi!
In the blink of an eye, the East District had taken the top two spots. The whole process could be described as a dream, and it was incomprehensible.
"This time's Profound Heaven Tower trial is really interesting!" Lu Boyue muttered to himself as he stared at Yui Kimi's name.
Inside the Profound Heaven Tower.
The fourth floor was not fundamentally different from the previous three floors. The only difference was that the stone statues were more powerful. Yui Kimi defeated them with lightning speed and directly went to the fifth floor!
On this floor, the entire environment of the secret chamber finally changed.
This was a large hall. The surrounding walls were still black, but it was very different from before. This was because there were many murals on the walls. At the head of the hall, there was a black stone throne, and a vague figure could be seen on it.
"Puppet?" The moment he entered, Mu Yuyi's Tenseigan instantly shrank and fell on the figure sitting on the throne in the main hall.
It was a young man with delicate features. The aura on his body was that of an early Soul Formation. Just from appearance alone, he was no different from an ordinary cultivator. But under the x-ray of Yui Kimi's Tenseigan, he could not hide anything!
That's right, this was not a real cultivator, but a puppet, a puppet that was almost no different from a real person.
At this moment, Yui Kimi's mind rumbled, and some long-forgotten memories suddenly became clear at this moment. All the strange and familiar feelings were perfectly explained at this moment.
"This place … why is it so similar to Beauty's Tomb …" Yui Kimi said to herself with a dignified expression.
Back in Beauty's Tomb, there were many black stone statues in that place. In terms of material, they were very similar to the stone statues encountered in the Profound Heaven Tower. That was not a big deal because it was just a matter of material. Yui Kimi did not think much about it, but seeing the puppet at this moment, it suddenly reminded her of Beauty's Tomb.
Because in that place, the most peculiar thing, and also the thing that left the deepest impression on Yui Kimi, was the puppet!
Yui Kimi still remembered that it was Hayashikawa who used the Tenseigan's ability to control puppets to control all the puppets in that place. That was how he got all the treasures in Beauty's Tomb in one fell swoop.
Among them, the three most precious treasures, the egg, the Hollow Spirit Pill, and the beauty under the moonlight were obtained from the bronze coffin. When Hayashikawa took these three treasures, he agreed to the request of the spirit in the bronze coffin to find the trace of a person, but after so long, he did not find any clues.
What he saw at this moment was the only thing that could be connected to Beauty's Tomb, the black stone statue and the puppet!
This place is very likely to have a lot to do with the person who left behind the moonlight.
The young man sitting on the throne did not move after Yui Kimi came in, so Yui Kimi did not act rashly. Instead, she looked at the murals on the surrounding walls with the Tenseigan.
These murals recorded the scenes of the trials in the Tianxuan Tower, including the depiction of various battles between geniuses, the origin of the puppets here, and the method to pass this place.
With a 360-degree field of vision, Yui Kimi stood in the same place and quickly browsed through all the murals, then looked at the puppet again.
"This person should be called Xue Xiao. Two hundred years ago, he was a peerless genius from the Tianxuan Academy. He defeated the previous puppet on the fifth level in less than half an hour and replaced the previous one, becoming the new puppet!"
Relying on the Tenseigan, Yui Kimi quickly found the murals of the figure sitting on the throne and learned about his life story.
"It seems that in order to pass this place, I must defeat this puppet. If I can defeat it in half an hour, then I can replace this puppet and become the new guardian!" Yui Kimi whispered to herself, a pair of sky blue eyes looked indifferently.
