101: Chapter 101, Second Level
A figure suddenly appeared.
The entire process was extremely abrupt.
There wasn't the slightest hint of a warning.
In a split second, he was just standing there.
The dozens of people present were all elite Martial Artists.
Even those at the Late Stage of the Second-rate Martial Artist Realm were considered low-level cultivation.
Among nearly a hundred Martial Artists, not a single one had detected even the slightest sign.
Even the few geniuses who claimed to have reached the pinnacle of light-foot techniques suddenly changed color, looking at the figure that had appeared in the arena with shock.
Everything happened in a flash.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
From the moment Ji Yebai emerged to the moment he was seen, not even half a breath had passed.
Everyone was shocked.
They were all people who didn't like to submit to others; even if it were a First-Class Martial Artist, they wouldn't be convinced in their hearts.
"Who is Your Excellency!?"
After the shock.
A large black man stared with eyes as wide as copper bells and asked respectfully.
Regardless of whether the other party was a First-Class Martial Artist, this mere feat of appearing so abruptly surpassed everyone present.
Ji Yebai reached out and gently touched the giant silvery-white pillar.
The familiar tactile sensation was exactly the same as that silvery-white flying saucer.
This made it even more certain that it was the same material.
Ji Yebai looked at this giant pillar, his emotions surging.
What on earth was the composition of this metal!?
It was actually able to block Divine Sense.
That's right.
Even though this huge silvery-white pillar was right before his eyes, within his Divine Sense, it remained a void.
Ji Yebai pondered, ignoring the black man's question.
And this scene made the expressions of the Martial Artists behind him sink.
The person in front of them was at most a First-Class Martial Artist.
But even if he truly was a First-Class Martial Artist, he couldn't look down on them.
They had to know that they were all at the Peak of Second-rate Martial Artists; each one was a Genius with deep foundations and extremely powerful strength.
Together, even a First-Class Martial Artist would have to remain silent.
"Is Your Excellency being too arrogant!?"
A handsome man with a slender figure said coldly.
However.
Facing these inquiries, that figure remained motionless, without even the slightest movement of turning around.
This made the face of the man who had asked the question flush red.
"You…!"
He suddenly took a step forward, his Internal Energy churning, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi boiled, covering the area in front of him.
But.
It was right at this moment.
Just as his Aura was about to rise to its Peak.
Just as that Internal Energy swept over.
Whoosh!
The figure in front of him suddenly turned into a black shadow and shot into the sky.
His vast, expanding Internal Energy vanished like the first snow meeting the midday sun.
He felt nothing, received no feedback, and it simply dissolved.
Everyone was stunned.
They all tilted their heads, looking up at the sky.
A figure was rapidly ascending along the giant silvery-white pillar.
"He… he… flew up…"
One person muttered in a daze.
The entire arena fell into a deathly silence.
Fly!
The meaning behind that was all too clear!
In the entire world, martial arts were prevalent, but up until now, only Bai Zhu was capable of flying.
Flight was the greatest hallmark of an Xiantian Martial Artist.
Xiantian Realm!!!
Xiantian Martial Artist!!!
In that instant, everyone was shocked.
They moved their mouths, but could not say a single word.
Some were even pale, their expressions filled with terror.
Especially the handsome man who had unleashed his Internal Energy; his body went limp, and he was covered in sweat.
Ignoring the reactions of the crowd, even though they were all expressions of utter shock.
But for Ji Yebai.
Although the Martial Artists below were all geniuses, they were, after all, only Second-rate.
Even if a few had reached the Peak of the Second-rate, or even faintly approached the Realm of First-class, they still didn't catch Ji Yebai's eye.
The Xiantian Realm was a leap in life.
To the Xiantian Realm, First-class was nothing more than a slightly larger ant.
His figure rose rapidly.
Soon, he reached the top.
Ji Yebai stood suspended in mid-air, looking up.
"How miraculous!"
The giant pillar in front of him seemed to be inserted into an unknown space.
Where the silvery-white pillar disappeared, ripples appeared in space.
It looked like water ripples.
And it was constrained within ten meters around the silvery-white pillar.
Ji Yebai extended his index finger.
He walked over slowly.
It felt like sinking into water!
Ji Yebai pondered slightly.
Regarding this scene in front of him.
The information given by Xiao Li had an introduction.
This Tower of Heaven had currently been explored up to two floors.
And there were two ways to enter the second floor.
The first was to enter the second floor via the top of this giant silvery-white pillar.
The second was to enter through a broken space rift in the southwest corner.
The second path was a narrow escape from death.
Space rifts appeared randomly.
It was entirely a matter of luck.
"Continuously disturbing space, truly miraculous!"
Ji Yebai sighed with emotion.
His figure moved slowly, sinking into the water ripples.
Passing through this layer of water-like space.
Ji Yebai felt as if he had broken through a film of water, and furthermore, the world was spinning, as if he had been forcibly inverted.
Ji Yebai's Divine Sense lost connection for an instant.
An intense sensation of dizziness flooded in.
Ji Yebai's eyes went dark, and the next second, his five Divine Wills resonated together, only then dispelling this feeling.
By the time Ji Yebai came to his senses.
He was falling downwards.
Ji Yebai widened his eyes, looking at everything before him in shock.
The brand-new giant silvery-white pillar stood tall, connecting heaven and earth.
Looking up.
Above, one could still see some spatial fluctuations.
"Hmm!?"
Ji Yebai was stunned.
What had happened!?
He hadn't passed through!?
But immediately after.
Ji Yebai dismissed this thought.
Below him was still a cliff.
But the swarms of Martial Artists on the cliff were nowhere to be found.
And it wasn't just that.
The environment had also changed.
High mountains!
Cliffs!
The low-lying ground was filled with endless seawater!
Each high mountain and cliff looked like an island emerging from the sea surface.
Above the high mountains, between the cliffs, not a blade of grass grew.
There was only pitch-black rock; even the moss that covered the ground was non-existent.
In this instant, Ji Yebai suddenly recalled something mentioned in the documents.
"Could it be that the space of the first and second floors is truly inverted!?"
"One on top, one on bottom, like the two ends of a dumbbell!?"
Ji Yebai looked at the surrounding space, unable to help but speak out loud.
Previously, Ji Yebai had also thought about the meaning of that information.
But at this moment.
He truly realized the miraculous nature of such things.
The relative inversion of space was likely forcibly flipped the moment he sank into those spatial ripples.
That dizzy feeling was precisely caused by the heaven and earth rotating.
Ji Yebai steadied his body, standing suspended in mid-air.
He looked down at the four directions.
The landscape and environment were similar, and if there was one major difference from the first floor.
It lay in the seawater that filled this entire world.
A full fifty-meter deep water layer had submerged even the shorter hills.
"This seawater…"
Ji Yebai flashed, instantly landing.
Standing on the surface of the water, Ji Yebai bent down and slowly scooped up a handful of water.
His expression was filled with shock.
His eyes widened.
Spiritual Qi!
Incomparably abundant Spiritual Qi!!
"Hiss!"
Ji Yebai gasped: "Seawater formed entirely of Spiritual Qi!?"
"How is this possible!?"
