188: Entrance open

At the same time.

Wu Su was swept away by the Martial Dao Remnant Image to a desolate area in the Fifth Zone.

Facing Wu Su, who was crying and laughing, and occasionally showing signs of terror, the Martial Dao Remnant Image couldn't help but frown.

"Illusory Arts? Isn't that kid a Sword Cultivator? How can he also use Illusory Arts?"

"Furthermore, with his strength, even if he used Illusory Arts, it shouldn't be possible for him to bypass my protection and threaten Wu Su."

"There's a secret hidden within that kid."

The Martial Dao Remnant Image also didn't see Shen Xi use the Huan Xu Pearl.

This left him puzzled.

With Shen Xi's strength, it shouldn't have been possible for him to bypass his protection and harm Wu Su.

It was also fortunate that he didn't discover the Huan Xu Pearl; otherwise, a Heaven-Grade weapon would have been enough to drive him mad.

The Martial Dao Remnant Image might have even tried to kill Shen Xi, seize the Huan Xu Pearl, and then forcibly take Wu Su away.

Although the chance of success against a forbidden weapon was less than one percent, facing a Heaven-Grade weapon, the Martial Dao Remnant Image would definitely have taken the gamble.

"Wake up!"

The Martial Dao Remnant Image roared.

Wu Su was too deeply immersed in the Illusory Arts.

If he continued like this, his spirit would be damaged; at best, he would fall into a dazed state for a period, and at worst, he would go mad.

"Ah!"

Wu Su shrieked in pain.

Finally, he regained consciousness.

Upon seeing the Martial Dao Remnant Image, he quickly bowed respectfully.

The other party represented the Wu Family Patriarch.

"I cannot exist for too long, so I'll make a long story short."

"First, where I brought you is a place with a great Opportunity. You must try to obtain this Opportunity; once successful, your strength will advance by leaps and bounds, and defeating that kid will be as easy as turning over your hand."

"Second, investigate that kid's situation thoroughly. He is a Sword Cultivator, so how did he also Cultivate Illusory Arts, and how was he able to harm you right under my nose? There's definitely something wrong. Once you've clarified it, if you can deal with him, do it yourself. If you can't, wait until the Chasing Wind Secret Realm opens and tell the Wu Family about this."

"Third, this time in the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, you are not the only one from the Wu Family to enter; your two cousins have also come in. You can try to find them and rendezvous. If you can find them, that kid will certainly die."

As the Martial Dao Remnant Image spoke, his body began to disappear.

After all, he was just a Remnant, and his existence could not last for long.

Wu Su firmly imprinted the Martial Dao Remnant Image's words in his heart.

He respectfully kowtowed three times to the Martial Dao Remnant Image.

Only after the Martial Dao Remnant Image vanished did Wu Su finally stand up.

He first glanced in the direction of the First Zone, gritting his teeth and saying, "Shen Xi, for today's grudge, I will definitely make you repay it ten-fold, a hundred-fold."

Then, he walked towards the place of Opportunity ahead.

He knew that this must be a place of Opportunity discovered by previous generations of Wu Family Seniors who explored the Chasing Wind Secret Realm.

After the Martial Dao Remnant Image was activated, it brought him directly here to allow his combat power to be enhanced again in the shortest possible time.

Currently, he was no match for Shen Xi; only by increasing his strength would he have a chance to take revenge.

As Wu Su advanced, an invisible barrier blocked his path.

Upon sensing the unique Qi of the Wu Family Bloodline on Wu Su, the barrier directly opened a passage.

Wu Su stepped in, and his figure instantly disappeared.

In mid-air, only his voice, full of hatred, remained.

"The day I emerge from seclusion will be the day you, Shen Xi, lose your life!"

...Tower of the Heavens.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

A large yellow bell appeared out of thin air at the top of the Tower.

With three bell tolls, a Stone Tablet appeared in front of the Tower of the Heavens.

The Stone Tablet was empty, without anything on it.

"This is the Tower to the Heavens Stone Tablet, which records the achievements of every challenger who attempts the Tower."

As a high-ranking official of Zhu Feng City, Chen Fang naturally had some understanding of the Tower of the Heavens.

"This ranking is crucial. The higher one's rank, the more likely they are to be favored by various major forces, who will extend an olive branch to the Martial Artist. Not only that, but if one can make it into the top ten, they will also receive corresponding rewards."

Beside him, Ye Zirou also added.

Her family and Zhu Fenglei were old acquaintances, so before entering the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, he naturally explained the situation within the Chasing Wind Secret Realm.

"In a moment, the entrance to the Tower of the Heavens will open. We'll rush in immediately. The Tower of the Heavens can only accommodate one hundred Martial Artists. Once the limit is reached, the entrance will temporarily close, and it will only reopen if someone fails the challenge and is sent out."

Liu Yiyi also said.

Because of this, even before the Tower of the Heavens opened, a large number of Martial Artists were vying for positions close to the Tower of the Heavens, hoping to be among the first to enter the Tower.

However, this was actually an unfair practice.

After all, Martial Artists who could squeeze near the Tower of the Heavens were definitely the cream of the crop in terms of strength.

Such individuals would undoubtedly clear more floors of the Tower of the Heavens, which also meant they would spend more time.

The Tower of the Heavens was only open for three days. If those at the front spent too much time, those at the back might not even get a chance to enter the Tower of the Heavens.

The best arrangement would naturally be to let the weaker individuals enter the Tower of the Heavens first.

They wouldn't take much time; perhaps half an hour or an hour, and they'd be sent out. This way, everyone would have a chance to challenge the Tower by entering in sequence.

However, the Martial Artist world has never been about fairness.

This is a world where strength is respected.

If you can't get a spot to enter the Tower, you can only blame your own weakness. If you don't get the Opportunity, you deserve it.

No one will yield to you because you are weak, and no one will sympathize if you can't get in.

This is a competition without smoke and fire.

The weak have no say.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

At this moment, the large yellow bell rang again.

"The entrance has opened!"

"There are only a hundred spots, let's hurry in!"

"Don't act rashly; haven't you seen that Shen Xi hasn't moved yet?"

"Indeed, let Shen Xi go in first. All the Innate-level combat power experts are thinking the same thing."

"Is this the advantage of being strong? Even without deliberately contending, others will voluntarily make way for him."

"Don't be jealous. If you had the ability, you could also enjoy such treatment."

The entrance to the Tower of the Heavens had opened, but no one acted rashly. This was completely different from previous years.

And the reason for all of this was Shen Xi.

As the strongest person present, with his strength a clear cut above everyone else, if Shen Xi did not enter, no one dared to act impulsively.

After all, no one understood Shen Xi's temperament. If they acted rashly and offended him, let alone challenging the Tower, whether they could even keep their lives was an unknown.
