"Tensei, what's the matter with you?"
Tian Weier, who was about to leave, hurriedly flew back and asked worriedly when she saw Tian Chen trembling as he stared at the ninth floor.
Tensei's divine power began to surge unconsciously, and a white light flickered in his left eye. No one knew what he had seen that caused him to act so strangely.
They had known Tensei for over a hundred years. In their impression, Tensei had always been a calm and steady person. What was going on now?
After a long time, Tensei suppressed the ripples in his heart and said, "Can I enter the ninth floor from the eighth floor?"
Tian Weier was suspicious, but nodded. "Originally, it was possible. Every floor of the Nine Heavens Pagoda is connected. However, I'm afraid that this restriction has also blocked the path from the eighth floor to the ninth floor."
"Boss Tensei, did you see something on the ninth floor?" Tianning couldn't help but ask when he saw the white light flickering in Tensei's left eye.
Tensei calmed down. "Let's talk about it later. I'll enter from the eighth floor in a moment."
The ninth floor was covered by a restriction, so the closest one to it was naturally the eighth floor.
Tian Weier could see Tensei's urgency, so she didn't ask any more questions. She said firmly, "Then we'll help you!"
"No, you must distance yourselves from this matter!" Tensei swept his gaze over the crowd and said firmly.
Everyone frowned. From Tensei's expression, they could see that this was no small matter. However, after so many years, with their relationship, was there any need to hide anything?
They only wanted to take responsibility for Tensei.
After a few seconds of silence, Tian Weier said, "Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"
Tensei let out a deep breath. "I understand everyone's good intentions, and I also understand everyone's feelings. However, listen to me this time. It's better for me to face this matter alone."
Everyone's frown deepened as they looked towards the restriction on the ninth floor. They really wanted to know what was inside, but Tensei wouldn't tell them.
"Even the Deputy Leader of the Pill-Smith Alliance can't solve it?" Tian Weier frowned deeply. The status of the Alchemy and Weapon Union was not low. Was there any problem that couldn't be solved with this status?
Tensei looked stern. Indeed, in both the Tian family and the Alchemy and Smith Alliance, his status was extraordinary. The higher-ups of the Tian family deliberately nurtured him. This was without a doubt.
But once he stepped onto the ninth level, the result would be unknown!
Because on the ninth floor, Tensei had already seen his mother with the help of the Evil Demon Eye!
Although the restriction in front of him was strong, Tensei believed that it could not stop him from using the Avici Divine Escape Art. Therefore, once he saw his mother, the higher-ups of the Tian Family would know that he was Tian Xiao's descendant.
The Tian Family had already sent people to the Divine World to capture Tian Xiao's descendants precisely for the sacrificial ceremony. Now that he had appeared, he wasn't sure if those higher-ups would still have this idea.
Tensei also didn't know if the Tian Family would turn against him after knowing that he was Tian Xiao's descendant. Therefore, he couldn't implicate Tian Weier and the others.
After a long silence, Tensei's eyes slowly lit up. He smiled and said, "Listen to me. If everything is fine, we will go to the Hundred Sovereign Territory together!"
Everyone looked at Tensei in silence. From his carefree words, it wasn't hard to tell that Tensei had a very high chance of having a conflict with the Tian Family.
No more words were said. Everyone's expression dimmed as they waited quietly.
Two days passed. The thousands of miles around the Nine Heavens Tower were occupied by the Tian Family's disciples. Gradually, the Nine Heavens Tower began to change.
The fluctuating aura of the Nine Heavens Tower gradually stabilized. Even the clouds in the sky seemed to have stopped moving.
Everyone eagerly stared at the Nine Heavens Tower. If they could obtain the Nine Heavens Secret Technique, they would be able to soar into the sky!
Tensei also held his breath. His fists unconsciously clenched as he stared at the entrance of the eighth floor. A vortex slowly appeared there. It was the passage to enter!
Whoosh!
Tensei's figure turned into a ray of light and was the first to rush into the entrance.
His vision blurred, and Tensei appeared in a world of green hills and clear waters. Looking around, it was full of vitality.
Without waiting for Tensei to take a closer look, white lights flashed around him. Obviously, the other disciples who chose the eighth floor had also entered.
Tensei casually glanced around and couldn't help but frown. He saw that Tian Weier and the others had also entered the eighth floor.
Tian Weier and the others also happened to look over. Their big faces were full of smiles as they looked at Tensei with ridicule.
Tensei shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Why do you have to be like this?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Chen stepped onto the So Near, Yet So Far Apart and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Tian Weier's lips curved up slightly, "Split up and find the entrance to the ninth floor!"
They all understood that Tensei had already gone to find the entrance to the ninth floor from the eighth floor.
Tensei had already seen that the entrance to the ninth floor of the Nine Heaven Tower was not open. Therefore, even if he used the Seamless Divine Escape Technique, he couldn't rush in. He could only turn around from the eighth floor.
Tensei pushed his speed to the limit. Not long after, a flight of stairs that extended into the sky appeared in front of him.
This flight of stairs was suspended in the air, and the end was covered by a restrictive spell. It was obviously the flight of stairs to the ninth floor!
Turning his head to take a look, he saw Tian Weier and the others rushing over from all directions. Obviously, they had also discovered this flight of stairs.
Without stopping, Tensei stepped out and rushed straight to the end of the flight of stairs.
Unexpectedly, Tensei's vision blurred. He was actually instantly moved to the first flight of stairs by the mysterious power of the flight of stairs. Moreover, a vast Sword Intent was emitted from the flight of stairs, suppressing Tensei.
Without waiting for Tensei to think, the sword heart in his sea of consciousness began to circulate on its own. Sword intent poured out of his body to resist the pressure from the flight of stairs.
Tensei furrowed his brows. The Sword Intent from the flight of stairs had actually triggered the protection of his sword heart. It didn't look simple at all!
"Haha, I also want to see what's on the ninth floor!" Tian Weier's laughter rang out. Her figure flashed and landed by Tensei's side, followed by the rest of the group.
Tensei wanted to say something, but stopped himself when he saw the restrictive spell at the end of the flight of stairs. His expression relaxed. He understood that Tian Weier and the others wanted to accompany him, but that wasn't what he wanted.
That layer of restrictive spell should be able to stop them, right?
Without another word, Tian Chen stepped forward, making his way to the end of the staircase. With every step he took, the pressure around him grew stronger.
"Boss Tensei, slow down a bit. Wait for us!" Tianning's voice rang out from behind him. He'd climbed more than ten flights of stairs, but it was already difficult for him to take another step.
"99 flights of stairs. Tensei's already reached the 76th. It looks like we won't be able to catch up!" Tian Wu's face was full of bitterness. With such a strong pressure, it was easier said than done to keep up with Tensei's footsteps.
Tian Weier had already reached the 60th step, her gaze fixed on Tensei. She saw that Tensei's entire body was trembling, and the Sword Intent around him was trembling as well. It was obvious that he was doing his best to withstand the pressure of the stairs. However, it seemed that he was about to reach his limit.
Tensei's face was pale white. He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to take another step forward. The 77th step!
Pfft! As soon as he set foot on this step, more than half of Tensei's Sword Intent was crushed. A mouthful of blood seeped out from the corner of Tensei's mouth, shocking Tian Weier and the others.
"Tensei, hurry and come back! Don't charge any further!" Tian Weier cried out anxiously. However, Tensei didn't turn back. Instead, he took another step forward.
Pfft!
Tensei was once again suppressed by the Sword Intent on the stairs. His own Sword Intent was instantly dispersed, and his aura weakened.
Without the protection of his Sword Intent, the pressure on Tensei multiplied. His body couldn't move, but the boundless Sword Intent on the stairs continued to wreak havoc as before.
At this moment, Tensei felt like a small boat in the middle of a huge wave that could capsize at any moment.
