Inside the white pagoda, Gu Ying from the Spring Dragon's Immortal Gate had been leading the crowd from the beginning, and the lead was getting bigger and bigger.
Not only was Gu Ying's performance astonishing, Gu Caiwei and Tang Manrou from the Spring Dragon's Immortal Gate were also performing better and better. Furthermore, as time passed, they had even caught up to Hua Qianshuang from the Endless City.
Amongst the five fastest cultivators, the Spring Dragon's Immortal Gate took up three of them.
This time, amongst the ten great sects, the Spring Dragon's Immortal Gate could be said to be in the limelight. In front of the huge tower, many cultivators looked at Lei Dao and the other elders with envious expressions. Lei Dao and the others naturally enjoyed this in their hearts, and the smiles on their faces almost never disappeared.
"This Gu Ying is really not bad."
"Others are getting slower and slower to escape the illusion, but he's actually getting faster and faster."
"Hua Qianshuang and the others have only reached the sixth floor, while Gu Ying has long since entered the eighth floor!"
"..."
Looking at the black figure high up in the tower, everyone sighed inwardly.
In terms of cultivation, there were a lot of people who surpassed Gu Ying, but in the end, it was Gu Ying, who had the weakest cultivation, who performed the most dazzling, and the majority of the Tier 6 Heavenly Lords from the various sects had only reached the third or second floor, and there were even quite a few who had stopped at the first floor.
Compared to Gu Ying, it could be said that one was on the ground and the other was in the sky. The difference was so great that it couldn't be compared at all.
Seeing their own sect's disciples perform so unbearably, the experts from the various sects were extremely anxious. They wished that they could directly rush into the tower and throw them to a higher level.
Of course, they only thought about it in their hearts.
No matter how anxious he was, he could only helplessly watch from here.
"Almost eleven months have already passed. According to Gu Ying's speed, he will be able to leave the ninth level of the illusion in at most a year." Long Tian Cheng sighed.
Everyone subconsciously nodded their heads, sighing in their hearts.
"Eh, he has already escaped the illusion of the eighth floor!"
In an instant, a cry of alarm rang out. Following that, everyone's gazes fell on the black shadow on the eighth floor …
… ….
Glazed Treasure Pagoda, Eighth Floor
In front of a huge golden tiger statue, Tang Huan slowly opened his eyes. Within his line of sight, a large amount of golden Qi rose up, and the statue quickly melted.
After refining the second Immortal Flower, he condensed the key Dao Crystal and stepped into the fifth stage of the Heavenly Monarch Realm. After refining the fourth Immortal Flower, he already had 160,000 Dao Crystals. After obtaining the fifth Immortal Flower, he broke through to the sixth stage of the Heavenly Monarch Realm. The sixth and seventh Immortal Flowers gave him a total of 320,000 Dao Crystals.
Now, he was a peak sixth-grade Heavenly Lord.
The eighth Immortal Flower that he was about to obtain was enough to allow his cultivation to advance a step further. He would be able to condense over 20,001 key Dao Crystals and surpass the Heavenly Monarch Realm and step into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
Above the Heavenly Monarch was the Heavenly Phase.
There were six grades of Heavenly Monarch, and ten grades of Heavenly Phase.
The number of Dao-Crystals ranged from 320,000 to one million, which was the first level of the Heavenly Phase; from one million to two million, which was the second level of the Heavenly Phase … And so on and so forth, with every million Dao-Crystals, he would advance by one level, until he had nine million to ten million Dao-Crystals, which was the tenth level of the Heavenly Phase.
From the change in the number of Dao-Crystals, one could tell that the difference between a first level Heavenly Phase and a tenth level Heavenly Phase far surpassed that of a first level Heavenly Lord and a sixth level Heavenly Lord.
A difference of thirty times that of a Dao-Crystal also meant a huge gap in strength.
Although they were both in the Heaven stage, there was a world of difference between a first level Heaven stage and a tenth level Heaven stage.
If the two sides were to fight, the latter would be able to kill the former in the blink of an eye. Of course, there was also a world of difference between a first level Heavenly Lord and a sixth level Heavenly Lord. Even if it was only a difference of one Dao crystal, in front of a first level Heavenly Lord, a peak sixth level Heavenly Lord would not be able to fight back at all.
"This Immortal Flower is enough to allow me to step into the first level of the Sky Realm."
Tang Huan thought for a bit, and a smile flashed past her eyes.
After a split-second, the huge tiger sculpture in front of him had completely disappeared into thin air. Following that, the glittering golden Immortal Flower whizzed down from the sky and crashed into Tang Huan's head. An incomparably large amount of energy roared down like raging waves, but was immediately absorbed by the Dantian Cauldron.
Although it was still an Immortal Flower, the Immortal Flower on the eighth floor of the pagoda had a huge increase in strength compared to the Immortal Flower on the first floor.
If it was the Immortal Flower of the first floor, it would definitely be impossible for it to condense the key Dao-Crystal and surpass the Heavenly Monarch Realm.
But the Immortal Flower of the eighth floor could do it.
Tang Huan got rid of all distracting thoughts, her heart was as calm as water, and she began to refine the power of the Immortal Flower. The vigorous energy was like a wave, majestically pouring into the Dantian, wave after wave, the three hundred and twenty thousand Dao-Crystals seemed to have turned into an incomparably large sponge, continuously absorbing the energy …
… ….
"Everyone, the news has been leaked."
Outside the white tower, Long Tian Cheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes. His expression was rather gloomy, and he couldn't help but let out a cold snort, "That 'Nether Death Domain' has already found out that our ten great sects have lost almost a million Heavenly Lords. Now, they have begun to increase their troops on a large scale in the 'Domain Field'."
"Sure enough!"
"This old man knew that once the news here was leaked, those undead spirits would definitely not be able to hold themselves back."
"Looks like there will be a huge battle between us human cultivators and those undead spirits very soon. I wonder how many people will lose their lives there this time."
"..."
The surrounding dozens of experts from various sects all had different expressions on their faces. Some were sighing, some were angry, and some were worried.
However, no one was surprised by the news that Long Tian Cheng had revealed.
Although the Netherworld had always been on guard against the infiltration of the undead spies, it was impossible to hide the fact that nearly a million Heavenly Monarchs had died at once. The fact that it had only been leaked out after nearly a year meant that the ten great sects had kept the news very well.
A million Heavenly Monarchs could be said to be the cornerstone of the ten great sects.
The foundation of the sect had been destroyed, and the foundation of the sect had been shaken. Without ten to twenty years, it would be very difficult for them to recover their vitality. How could the "Nether Death Realm" miss such a rare opportunity? Although it was impossible for them to exterminate the ten great sects if they were to start a great battle at this time, it was extremely likely that they would be severely injured.
"Everyone, those little fellows in the tower will not be in any danger for the time being." After a while, Long Tian Cheng suddenly said in a deep voice, "In this old man's opinion, only one person from each sect should stay here to watch. The others can return to the sect to guard it, or they can go to the Domain Realm to reinforce it."
"Bro, you're right. I think so too."
"..."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
