410: Alarming the Heavenly Lord

“Wow, Immortal Emperor Qing is really beautiful. I’m so envious.” Bi Yao looked at Immortal Emperor Qing with envy; her innocent heart didn’t prevent her from loving beauty.

“You are also very beautiful. Everyone has their own unique beauty.”

“The man next to Immortal Emperor Qing looks so improper. I really want to help Immortal Emperor Qing drive him away,” Bi Yao said, clenching her fists.

“Haha…” Ji Yi shook his head and chuckled. Indeed, that man looked very much like a street ruffian, yet Ji Yi always felt a sense of familiarity with Ji Hui, which was quite miraculous.

“Click…” The Sword Tower finally opened, and all the Sword Cultivators began to enter in an orderly manner. Ji Yi also flew inside.

His vision shifted, and Ji Yi found himself in a desolate world where only he existed. However, Bi Yao had already told Ji Yi about the challenges inside: opponents would continuously appear, and defeating one would allow him to pass one level.

Soon, the first opponent appeared. Ji Yi sensed it and found that it was actually a Saint-level mirror image. All the opponents here were mirror images. My goodness, a Saint! Ji Yi extinguished the opponent with a single breath.

Actually, it was normal. The opponents here were matched according to age. Ji Yi was only a thousand years old, and a thousand-year-old Saint was already a Genius.

Then came Saint King, Great Saint, Quasi-Emperor, Great Emperor, Heavenly Emperor, Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Profound Immortal, and Immortal Lord. All these opponents were resolved by Ji Yi with a single sword strike.

At this moment, Ji Yi did not know that the outside world had already erupted in chaos, because they saw that the Sword Tower lit up a new floor almost every few seconds. It hadn't even been a few minutes, and the Sword Tower was almost lit up to the top.

The Sword Tower had a total of twenty floors. Before Profound Immortal, each major Realm was one floor. Starting from the Profound Immortal opponents, each power Realm was one floor: ordinary Profound Immortal, intermediate Profound Immortal, peak Profound Immortal, and ultimate Profound Immortal. The Immortal Lord was the same.

However, even an ultimate Immortal Lord couldn't last more than a few rounds against Ji Yi, so Ji Yi ascended very quickly, reaching the seventeenth floor in an instant, with only three more floors to reach the top.

“Holy crap, what’s going on? Is the Sword Tower broken? How did it light up to the seventeenth floor all at once?”

“I don’t know. It’s probably broken, otherwise it’s impossible! Or did some Sword Cultivator find a loophole?”

“But this is a hongmeng immortal treasure! Even if there’s a loophole, it shouldn’t be exploitable by anyone below a Tianzun, right?”

The rationality of the Immortals watching outside told them that the Sword Tower would not have problems, but the scene before their eyes overwhelmed their rationality. It was too dreamlike.

Fortunately, the eighteenth floor did not light up for a long time. Ji Yi was currently battling a mirror image of an ordinary Immortal King. Although his strength crushed the mirror image, the mirror image still had the ability to struggle, and it took Ji Yi an hour to finally kill the mirror image.

“Look, the eighteenth floor is lit!”

“Holy cow, it’s only been a little over an hour! What’s going on?”

The Dao Heart of the just-calmed onlookers was once again shocked, and the news from here was also sent back to various forces through their hands. Now, almost every force with a news channel knew that there was an existence in the Sword Tower who had passed the eighteenth floor in just one hour.

In Dao Sect, Slayer Heavenly Venerable was currently comprehending the Heavenly Dao. His jade pendant vibrated, waking him from his meditative state.

“Revered Master, an existence has appeared in the Sword Tower who broke through eighteen floors in one hour.” This was the message his eldest Disciple sent him.

“Eighteen floors in one hour, huh?” Slayer Heavenly Venerable murmured. This achievement was terrifying; it was unprecedented.

Slayer Heavenly Venerable was also an Innate God. In terms of origin, he was not as profound as True God, because he was only a Heavenly God when he was born, equivalent to the Immortal King Realm.

However, what made him special was that the Zhu Xian Sword Formation was his companion hongmeng immortal treasure. The hongmeng immortal treasure contained the Grandmist Heavenly Dao, and Slayer Heavenly Venerable’s strength therefore rapidly increased, surpassing True God in one fell swoop and advancing to the Ancestral God Realm. For Innate Gods, they all referred to themselves as Ancestral Gods, not Tianzun. Tianzun was the Realm of Acquired beings.

It was just that Acquired beings were now the dominant force in the Three Realms, and everyone was accustomed to calling them Tianzun.

Tongtian Ancestral God stepped out of the Dao Palace and came to his eldest Disciple’s side.

“I’ll go take a look.” Tongtian took a step and left Dao Sect. His speed had surpassed space and time, and in a short while, he arrived above the Sword Tower. Of course, he did not reveal his form; Tianzun rarely showed themselves in front of living beings.

Not only Tongtian, but other Tianzun also received the news. They were very curious about this matter because this person’s Sword Dao Aptitude was too terrifying. This passing speed was unprecedented. Although a fast passing speed did not necessarily mean the strongest, the talent was definitely very strong, at least enough to be on the Sword Dao Stele.

They were very curious who it was. This was truly a Prodigy, a Tianzun seed.

Buddha Venerable of the Buddhist Gate, Spirit Venerable of the Spirit Race, Demon Venerable of the Demon Race, Yao Venerable of the Yao Race, and the Tianzun of the Ji Family had all arrived. As for the Tianzun of the Heavenly Court and the Tianzun of Reincarnation Paradise, they were currently unavailable. The two of them had disappeared for multiple kalpas, and it was rumored that they had perished together, though the truth was unknown.

Why was the Heavenly Court weak? Wasn’t it precisely because the Tianzun of the Heavenly Court had not shown themselves for a long time, and it was rumored that they had fallen?

The six Tianzun were all hidden in the Void Realm. They nodded to each other, greeting each other.

The one from the Ji Family was none other than Ji Shang. At this moment, he was lying on a sword, a wild blade of grass he’d picked from who-knows-where dangling from his mouth, his legs crossed. He truly lived up to his reputation as the biggest ruffian in the Immortal Realm.

“It couldn’t be that kid Ji Hui, could it? Impossible, his Aptitude isn’t even as strong as mine, his old man. Who could it be? Has Tongtian’s Disciple’s Aptitude gotten stronger again?” At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Ji Shang’s mind, but he couldn’t make sense of them.

He did not attempt to deduce, because those inside the Sword Tower were protected by the Sword Tower and were very difficult to deduce. At least, he couldn’t deduce them.

He understood the Sword Tower very well, at least better than any other Tianzun present, because this Sword Tower was left here by his grandfather, Ji Ancestor. Therefore, even Tongtian couldn’t take it, let alone the other Tianzun. If their Dao didn't align, they certainly couldn’t take it. hongmeng immortal treasure chose its owner; it would not willingly follow someone unsuitable.

Even Tianzun could not forcibly subdue a hongmeng immortal treasure. The Rank of a hongmeng immortal treasure was on the same level as an Ancestral God. Even if it couldn’t defeat a Tianzun, the Tianzun couldn’t imprint their Primordial Spirit on it and could not make it recognize them as Revered Master.

Tongtian, however, did not suspect it was his Disciple. After all, he knew his Disciple’s Aptitude, and it had not yet reached this level. Moreover, her passing speed couldn’t be this fast. As for surpassing Nine Swords, there was a slight possibility.

As for the other Tianzun, they each had their own thoughts. They waited quietly, knowing that the answer would be revealed sooner or later.

One day later, the nineteenth floor of the Sword Tower also lit up. Passing through nineteen floors in a little over a day was truly unbelievable. Back then, Slayer Heavenly Venerable and Ji Shang had only passed through nineteen floors.

This meant that this existence’s Aptitude could already compare to two Tianzun, and it was even very likely that they would surpass the two of them and contend for the title of the Immortal Realm’s greatest Sword Aptitude holder of all time.
