Chapter 206

Chapter 201Is this person a cat?Hearing this dialogue, Zhao Yi could affirm that she was a cat!There was no way to evaluate her acting skills anymore, because if she had even a bit of acting skills, she wouldn't act like this.This self-assuming brain, this overthinking brain, was almost exactly like Yu Miaomiao from the past, as if they came from the same mold.Previously, the "teacher's" methods, combined with his question to the black-skirted female, led Zhao Yi to boldly guess that the "teacher" must have an extremely close relationship with the Yu family, perhaps even being a member of the Yu family.Zhao Yi didn't believe the "teacher" couldn't see through it.He must have seen through it, yet he didn't choose to expose it, but rather defaulted to it in a self-deceiving manner.This was a form of retreat and seeking a second-best option.Then this "second best" must have a common point.A person and a cat's common point... they were all Yu family members?Zhao Yi felt this must be the answer.The "teacher" had been hiding here for a very, very long time using special methods, and had paid the price of life and freedom for it.Making such a huge sacrifice must have a purpose.And this purpose needed a beneficiary, which should be the Yu family.Tsk.No wonder the "teacher" deliberately didn't open this layer of wall and brought up the person surnamed Li.This was meant to use this method to lock the person surnamed Li there, so he couldn't do anything, and naturally, it would be impossible for him to participate in the distribution of benefits.This was clearly a contention of interests between the Longwang families and their associated portals.Thinking of this, a hint of schadenfreude appeared on Zhao Yi's face.He had always been defeated by the boy, every time he was taken advantage of. This time was good, finally someone could cure him, hehe.However, the schadenfreude was temporary.Zhao Yi's gaze soon sank again.He indeed couldn't bear to see the person surnamed Li always have the upper hand, but he was also unwilling to see the person surnamed Li suffer losses.Calculating back and forth, in the end, it still felt like his, Zhao Yi's, face was being lost.However, the current situation was not yet clear. To contend for that benefit, they would have to wait until the benefit truly appeared. After all, he didn't even know what exactly they were contending for now.No rush for now, wait a bit longer. Anyway, he had enough manpower here now and held the chips.Zhao Yi's attention began to return, focusing on the four people on his side.During this time, he had been getting along with Li Zhuiyuan's group day and night. In this mode, some secrets fundamentally couldn't be kept.Even if he didn't deliberately spy, he could still generally grasp the strength details of their team. Of course, Li Zhuiyuan didn't care about this either.Run Sheng, holding the Huanghe shovel and standing in front, under normal circumstances, was not much different from his subordinate Xu Ming.Under abnormal circumstances, Run Sheng could instant kill Xu Ming.Besides that, Run Sheng's sustained combat ability was much stronger than Xu Ming's.No way, the person cultivated the orthodox Qin family body refining technique, and opened the flesh and qi gates. He could be called the best template for the fusion of personal special constitution and body refining method.Having such a person to stand in front, who could endure, fight, and be persistent, was simply a gospel for every team commander.Tan Wenbin cultivated ghost controlling technique, which was a kind of forbidden method that damaged lifespan.However, people who cultivated this kind of technique were least worried about damaging their lifespan. This was the most basic default price.Especially for river walkers, as long as they could step over every wave, they could rely on merit to supplement their consumption. In this context, lifespan also became a quantifiable and replenishable consumption item.People who cultivated this method were most afraid of ghost backlash. Therefore, every time they controlled them, a large part of their mind had to be used to suppress and guard them.But Tan Wenbin fundamentally didn't care about this point. He completely trusted them and let them play freely. This also meant that others who used this forbidden method could only unleash fifty percent of its strength, but Tan Wenbin could achieve one hundred fifty percent here. He even thought about this matter, potentially using the ghost infant's brain!Yin Meng's poison, Zhao Yi had witnessed it personally. Even the one inside the coffin couldn't be copied. In a fight, it could be used as a surprise attack, or as a means to divide or compress the battlefield.It was just that the method of applying the poison was a bit too primitive. Zhao Yi felt it could be combined a bit with Tan Wenbin's ghost controlling technique, letting ghosts or spirits enhance the use of poison.Well, the mountain girl was dead, but he still had some Gu technique books left by the mountain girl. Plus, some Gu altars were still buried in Old Tian's medicine field. He could send her for further study. Gu technique originally naturally was more compatible with poison.As for here now, his best friend Lin Shuyou...Lin Shuyou's physical state had not yet fully recovered from that field teaching bureau. But he had an extremely good relationship with the general chief of the officials' Yin God. In the teaching bureau, he had seen White Crane Child repeatedly using his precious divine power to recover and care for Ayou's body.Ordinary Yin Gods disdained dealing with weak diviner boys. They were fundamentally too lazy to receive divination and descend.But Lin Shuyou was a special case. Zhao Yi even suspected that one day if Lin Shuyou's high fever didn't subside, he might be able to invite White Crane Child down to treat his illness.In short, Zhao Yi was very satisfied with this team configuration.Previously, he only stood outside and watched. This time, he personally came in to "drive," and only then did he know how good the fellow surnamed Li was at using people.Each person had their own role arrangement, and what was even rarer was a clear development plan.That fellow surnamed Li really put effort into his subordinates.This was a proper Longwang river walking team.Built brick by brick personally, the foundation was solid.In comparison, his team, after Old Tian Head returned home to handle logistics and the mountain girl died, was already seriously crippled.This was not just a matter of supplementing manpower. Firstly, the tacit understanding and trust, which were very important, could not be built up in a day or two.Secondly, why not just earn merit by walking the river with your own lamp instead of relying on ready-made high-level people, and letting others take the big share while you take the small share?There was only one Longwang in each generation. Who knew if you could make it or not? It was better to just care about oneself, eat until full first, then surrender the lamp the second time around.Therefore, many grassroots people in the Jianghu or ordinary families, after suddenly losing too many people in one wave, often had to choose to surrender the lamp and admit defeat, because they fundamentally had no way to rebuild and supplement their team and were unable to cope with the more difficult next wave.And except for those special individuals with explosive personal charisma, it was also only people with higher family backgrounds who could have potentially higher and more powerful subordinates. People were not working for your family background for cheap, but because they felt that your probability of becoming Longwang was higher than others and were willing to bet on following the dragon position."Hu... hu... hu..."Zhao Yi began to take deep breaths, repeatedly reminding himself to guard his original heart. He was starting to worry that after playing happily this time, he would lose interest in his own team.Li Zhuiyuan on the next floor couldn't hear the dialogue. He couldn't even read Yu Cangsheng's lip language because his lips didn't move, only his fingers trembled.But from the black-skirted female's changes, Li Zhuiyuan could also guess what was happening.Yu Miaomiao was not dead. Yu Miaomiao borrowed a corpse to return her soul, and the one who left must be that cat. This fundamentally didn't even need asking or coin tossing.That cat had always occupied the main body inside that body. It was Yu Miaomiao's original cat.When your luck and fate were being extracted, the cat occupying the main body would definitely actively send out Yu Miaomiao herself inside the body as a sacrifice first.Moreover, according to the rules, the one the black-skirted female sucked was also a Yu family member.After all, he had seen the ten floors of the high tower's people. They were all humans, with no demons or other species mixed in.Li Zhuiyuan believed Yu Cangsheng was definitely clear on this point, yet he actually reached out and touched the black-skirted female's head, and the black-skirted female also pretended childlike dependence and leaned against him.Weren't you, Yu Cangsheng, the one who most repelled the family's rebellious Tiangang?Time and time again, you called it a beast, but now what are you doing again?Li Zhuiyuan couldn't help but be curious as to how great the driving interest was that could make you go against your original heart and hold your nose while temporarily accepting it.One wrong answer could be ruled out first: Yu Cangsheng definitely wasn't doing this for the dream of becoming immortal.If he wanted to pursue this dream, he wouldn't have stayed there as a teacher.With his strength from his previous life, he was capable of walking to this point and obtaining the qualification to enter the high tower.In fact, this high tower was not simply plunder. It had its own competitive ecology.If Yu Miaomiao hadn't chosen one of the three strongest, but chosen a weaker one, killed it, obtained the other party's body accumulation, then entered the tower, she could have replaced his position.The high tower's bell could control the bell, meaning the ringing of the bell was affected by the rules inside the high tower.So, from the beginning, this was not some game of seeking recognition and finding partners, but under the judgment of the high tower's rules, you could occupy which floor and which person's ecological position. The high tower thought you had the qualification to replace it and make it stronger, welcoming ascension with a more perfect posture.Yu Miaomiao's sacrifice and self-reporting of her family were not actually used to move the black-skirted female. What she moved was actually the high tower. The high tower gave her this opportunity.And the high tower's judgment of Zhao Yi was that it could replace one of the two people on the tenth floor.Of course, if you couldn't win, you would be killed and absorbed, counting as another way of integrating into the high tower. Anyway, the tower didn't lose.If Yu Cangsheng rushed here to ascend and become immortal, he would definitely choose to enter the tower, obtain a position, and quietly wait for the opportunity of ascension to arrive.The fact that he didn't do so meant that the things he was scheming were bigger.Or perhaps, he saw a deeper side, and the things he wanted to obtain were also hidden deeper.Thinking of this, Li Zhuiyuan's gaze fell on the high tower again.A deeper level of interest?Negative second floor.Yu Cangsheng endured the strong disgust and repulsion in his heart and gently pushed the black-skirted female away, signaling her to have some self-respect.Even if you wanted to act like a human, you had to know that your real human age was about the same as the boy downstairs. Only a cat could reach estrus so early at such a young age.If he had a choice, if he could properly leave here and return home, he would definitely not hesitate at any cost to forcibly correct the family's ways, even if it meant dying in the process.But he had no choice. He couldn't leave here. He was already dead. He was already bound and fused with this place.The sky had changed color in the family. He was powerless. All he could do now was bring this huge merit back to the family in her name, as a Yu family member.With this, he could seek a heavenly path's grant of opportunity and a turnaround, allowing the Yu family to obtain protection and the correct path, at least not to the extent of thorough crossbreeding and even branching out.Yu Miaomiao was pushed away. She could feel the alienation... no, the disgust from the consciousness inside A Yuan's body towards her.Although she had changed bodies, the one inside the original body who always dragged her down and made her hesitate about doing things was also completely gone.She had become purer, and her positioning of her own identity was also clearer.This, truly, was the arrogance of the Yu family's "people."Yu Miaomiao recalled one night when her grandma pulled her hand and sat by the pond chatting. The moonlight was hazy, and the round, slippery pupils in her grandma's eyes emitted a luster brighter than the moonlight. That long beard was even more vivid and full of spirit.Grandma said that before, the most proud of the Yu family were the "people." The Yu family clearly relied on spirit beasts to build its family, yet the Yu family's "people" most looked down on them.Grandma also said that this Yu family was not just for the Yu family's "people." They also had the surname Yu, and this Yu family also had their share.Grandma still said, "Now it's good. Everything has been corrected."Grandma smiled in the end and said that the girl staying in her body was very good. These "people" could help them become smarter. When it came to brains, they really couldn't compare to those people.Yu Cangsheng opened his mouth and said, "Next, you listen to my instructions and do things. I can let you bring a great merit back to the Yu family."Yu Miaomiao softly said, "Understood. Everything will listen to your instructions. Whatever you tell me to do, I will do, because I feel a sense of family closeness in your body."Zhao Yi's mouth twitched. He was now a little envious of the person surnamed Li downstairs who couldn't hear the sound.Otherwise, he could have heard the guy who usually emitted a barbell-like laugh imitating Lin Daiyu.Yu Cangsheng strongly suppressed the discomfort in his heart and nodded. He opened his mouth again, as if saying it to Yu Miaomiao, but also as if comforting and explaining to himself:"I am doing this, all for the Yu family.""This is of course. I can see your sacrifices. Your love and concern for the family are even more of a model for me."Yu Cangsheng clenched his fists tightly.Endure, don't hit Yu Miaomiao.He walked a few steps forward, raised his head, and looked towards the bell at the top of the high tower.Yu Miaomiao actively stuck close again. She felt that the more the other party disgusted her, the more enthusiastic and well-behaved she wanted to be.In her heart, she was actually also disgusted with him.Disgusted that he occupied A Yuan's body.Disgusted that he clearly had the surname Yu, yet deliberately tortured and made things difficult for her and A Yuan for so long in the examination room after the stone door.You still have the nerve to say it's for the Yu family?Grandma's evaluation of you Yu family "people" was indeed correct.Yu Cangsheng had no mind to think about Yu Miaomiao's inner thoughts anymore, because whenever he thought about this person, he felt uncomfortable.Moreover, his attention should now focus on the proper matters.At the top of the high tower, the faceless person appeared again.Their gazes intersected.Yu Cangsheng: Are you coming down, or am I going up?The faceless person did not move.Yu Cangsheng: Then I'll go up.He had originally prepared for this day for a long time and had formulated other methods.But he didn't expect that the later Yu family would actually become like this now. Although this was not what he wanted to see, it was also equivalent to actively giving him a new and better method, and greatly increasing his success rate.Yu Cangsheng pointed to the tower door in front and said, "Miaomiao, you go and push open that door."Yu Miaomiao was stunned for a moment.Previously inside the high tower, she had developed an extremely great psychological shadow towards the prohibitions and pressure inside.Now, he was actually letting her go and push the tower door?Yu Cangsheng: "Quick, go push it open.""Yes."Yu Miaomiao took a deep breath, then felt a surge of discomfort in her body. She forgot that her current body was dead, a bit like a zombie, and a bit like a corpse. In short, it was a weird dead thing formed in this special environment and didn't need to breathe.She slightly raised her eyes and looked towards the upper layer. Her corpse was still scattered there.She still saw her head.She really liked her round, fleshy face. Grandma said this represented a kind of blessing.Even if she could leave here alive, she could only live in this already dead body forever?Then what was the meaning of being alive like this?All those senses of eating, drinking, and various sensory pleasures would have nothing to do with her.What's more, after leaving here, her already dead body would still decay. Even if the family used various methods to maintain its current state, it would be very difficult.What awaited her would be endless torment for the rest of her life.Yu Miaomiao looked towards the hole in the upper two layers.Since you were in A Yuan's body early on, you clearly had the ability to open the wall and come down. Why did you deliberately wait until I was killed before coming down?If you had come down earlier, I wouldn't have had to die. Now you're still here pretending to be a good person, hypocritical!In the depths of Yu Miaomiao's eyes, resentment and poison flashed.She recalled the scene of her being killed earlier. That kind of pain and despair, even after "reviving," could still make her shudder.I originally didn't have to suffer the previous suffering, and even more so the subsequent suffering. All of this was caused by you!Yu Cangsheng's voice transmitted again: "Hurry up, don't dawdle."As he said this sentence, Yu Cangsheng lowered his head and looked below. The boy was standing right below his feet.He affirmed that the boy was from a Longwang family.Because when the boy spoke to him, he said "river walk."Secondly, the boy's evaluation of Zhao Wuzang embodied a certain pattern. A direct descendant of a Longwang family could have this profound understanding and experience.Of course, talents emerged from the Jianghu, and true heroes could come from the grassroots. But looking at the appearance of the boy from the Jiujiang Zhao family being so subservient to the boy, this boy was definitely not from the grassroots.Zhao Wuzang could play with the grassroots back then, but the descendants of Zhao Wuzang after he became Longwang might not have Zhao Wuzang's kind of heart.Yu Cangsheng was very angry. He could extract A Yuan's memory, but there was fundamentally no knowledge of the boy being from a Longwang family in A Yuan's memory. This matter, he had to ask out himself.At the top of the tower, the faceless person stood there, continuing to gaze below.Yu Miaomiao placed both hands on the tower door. The moment of contact, a terrifying pressure descended upon her body, and she immediately let out a wail."Ah!!!"She let go of her hands and retreated two steps. The tower door didn't move at all."I, I, I can't push it open, it hurts so much, it's so painful."This was simply torture!Yu Cangsheng: "Push it with serious full force. You can push it!"Yu Cangsheng's words carried a majestic warning.Yu Miaomiao's body trembled. She could only stretch out her hands again and press against the tower door.A strong sense of pain attacked again, and she wailed again. This time, she persisted a little longer, and the door seam was also pushed open a little bit more."Ah!!!"Yu Miaomiao let go of her hands again, retreated, and fell back to the ground.Yu Cangsheng's mouth twitched.A "waste," almost blurted out.She couldn't even bear this much pain? This beast, was she actually also pampered while growing up?One should know that for this, he had been lurking here for who knew how many years. Compared to physical pain, spiritual loneliness was even more despairing.Tan Wenbin looked at Zhao Yi with some confusion: "Can this door also be pushed open like this?"Wenbin's attainment in formations wasn't high, but he knew that this high tower's formation was absolutely very high.Otherwise, Brother Xiao Yuan would definitely have broken it instead of always following its rules.Zhao Yi answered: "Because the door before should have been open, letting the people on the three underground floors go back. Now the door only opens a gap and then stops. It was originally destroying the rules.That black-skirted woman is also the true young lady of the Yu family now.She was originally a person inside the high tower. Returning to the high tower is natural.So by having her personally push the door, it can prompt the operation of the rules.Theoretically speaking, she can push the door open.It's a pity she's too delicate. She is ultimately a precious person."Zhao Yi knew that A Yuan had very good hearing.So, he deliberately emphasized the words "Yu family young lady," "delicate," and "precious."He was giving Yu Cangsheng eye drops.They were all smart people, but his smartness was different from the boy's.Li Zhuiyuan was good at deduction, integrating all factors and conditions, and choosing an optimal solution.Zhao Yi, who hovered on the brink of life and death day after day, was good at insight into human hearts, or rather, manipulating human hearts.The fact that he could survive multiple times in front of Li Zhuiyuan was the best proof.Yu Cangsheng: "Stand up, continue pushing. However much suffering you endure now, it's all worth it compared to the opportunity I will give you and the family!"Yu Miaomiao could only stand up again.Give me an opportunity?That sounds nice.Why don't you go up and push it yourself!But despite Yu Miaomiao's dissatisfaction, she was actually a little afraid of Yu Cangsheng.Grandma had said that the current Yu family's "people" were not much, but the previous Yu family members were very terrifying.Yu Miaomiao put her hands on the tower door again and exerted force.Along with it came pain and wails.Her original body was not that of an ordinary person. It was similar to half human, half demon.And some unfamiliar feelings could be transferred to the other one inside the body. For example, every time she was injured in a fight and felt pain, she would hand it over to the true "little girl" inside her body to bear.Anyway, she was useless inside the body, so she might as well help her share a bit.Over time, her body changed, and that Yu family girl was also gone. Yu Miaomiao was already finding it very difficult to adapt to this sense of pain directly imposed on her body. Her pain threshold was actually very low."Ah!!!"This time, she persisted a little longer, and the door seam was also pushed open to the size of a baby's fist.Then, she stumbled back continuously and fell to the ground.In a fit of anger, she almost went mad and drew out the precious sword at her waist, waving sword flowers.Yu Cangsheng saw this and immediately jumped in fright.Her pushing the door conformed to the rules, but daring to attack the tower, especially the tower door, would instantly provoke a counterattack from the high tower!Idiot!Yu Cangsheng appeared in front of Yu Miaomiao and slapped her."Pa!"Yu Miaomiao was stunned by the hit.A Yuan's slap was very strong. Yu Miaomiao's left cheek was split open, and pus began to drip downwards from inside.But Yu Miaomiao herself was not sent flying and remained standing in her original place.Because this body was very strong.But now, it was merely the body that was strong.Yu Miaomiao wanted to use the move the black-skirted woman repeatedly used when killing her before, but she only waved sword flowers and didn't unleash that terrifying strike.She had utilized a loophole in the rules and Yu Cangsheng's action to gain control of the body, but she had no way to use the body's moves.It was also fortunate she didn't use them. If she had, the situation would have completely collapsed.Behind, Zhao Yi put his hand on Lin Shuyou's shoulder and buried his face in Lin Shuyou's chest, shrugging non-stop.Lin Shuyou was a little unclear about this, only knowing that this hateful guy was inexplicably laughing very happily."Hehehehe... hehehe!"Zhao Yi was almost laughing to the point of cramping. He laughed so hard his heart started to ache, yet he still couldn't help but want to laugh.This big silly girl, after occupying someone else's body, couldn't even use muscle memory!What did this count as, silly people have silly blessings.Even repeatedly lowering the evaluation standard for Yu Miaomiao, she could still surprise him again and again."Pain, it really hurts!" Yu Miaomiao was very aggrieved.Yu Cangsheng's gaze then turned cold."Alright, I don't need you.""Really? Thank you, thank you." Yu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she didn't have to bear that kind of pain anymore.Yu Cangsheng pinched his hands together, and the gray and white colors flowed in his pupils again.Yu Miaomiao was a little doubtful at first, not knowing what he was doing, but soon, she understood."No! Don't!"A seal struck from Yu Cangsheng's hand into Yu Miaomiao's body.The Yu family's beast-controlling technique.Controlling demon beasts was the foundation, and it also had a miraculous effect on demon beast spirits.What was more important was that when different people performed it, the effect was completely different.Just like Zhao Yi's subordinate Sun Yan's animals and the gatekeeper Wood King Ye, they were all directly controlled by Yu Miaomiao and A Yuan without resistance. Similarly, Yu Miaomiao had no way to resist the control from Yu Cangsheng.Her thinking was solidified within a narrow range. Her consciousness began to be guided, and subsequently, her body also began to become a puppet involuntarily.Yu Cangsheng: "Even if it's not for the family, just for you, you have to endure this bit of hardship!"Yu Miaomiao's hands were heavily pressed against the door.Although her body was not under her control, the terrible sense of pain still descended upon her.Moreover, because her body was controlled, she couldn't retreat. She didn't even know when it would end. She could only exert force non-stop in a very desperate way, exert force, and re-exert force.In the depths of Yu Miaomiao's pupils, a deep resentment and poison had already surfaced!Her hate intent had already reached its peak.What opportunity, what for the family, what for her good, it was all lies.You have been hiding here for so many years. How is it possible that it is just to help the family? And how is it possible that you would send this opportunity to me, an irrelevant outsider?The family is just your excuse. I am just the tool you chose to satisfy your personal private desires!The tower door on the negative second floor was slowly and continuously being pushed open.Simultaneously being opened were the negative third floor and the negative first floor.Li Zhuiyuan originally thought this was just normal synchronization, but the faceless person who was originally located at the top of the tower disappeared. He then appeared at the door of the negative third floor.Yu Cangsheng noticed this scene, and his eyes narrowed.Which family's Longwang portal did this boy come from, that he could receive such special care!When Yu Cangsheng came here, the one at the top of the tower was just there.He didn't know who that person was, only that although that person came earlier than him, their era wasn't much earlier than his.Moreover, the top of this tower originally didn't need a knocker.Because the formation was already mature, the rules were already perfect, and everything could operate naturally. This bell would also ring on its own from time to time.That person was not here since this place was created.But since that person could reach the top floor and forcefully give himself the identity of a knocker, it explained that his ancestor must have had a close relationship with this place, and it was even very possible that he was the person who built and laid out this place.Zhao Yi, who was still laughing after seeing this scene, at this moment felt a surge of mixed emotions in his heart, even a little frustrated.Good, I'll just say it. Relatives are just relatives. Who in the world has more relatives and friends than your family when it comes to relying on the words of the dead!To this, Li Zhuiyuan couldn't explain, and even more impossible to explain.Extracting the wave flower from Ali's dream was his secret, and he would not tell outsiders except the people in his own team.But the boy was also really curious why this one would appear here at this time to see him.Yu Miaomiao was in great pain. The tower door was continuously being pushed open, but it still needed a lot of time before it was wide enough for an adult to enter.Because... A Yuan's body was relatively tall.As for Yu Miaomiao's resentful gaze and inner curses, Yu Cangsheng didn't care. He also disdained paying attention.Li Zhuiyuan walked towards the tower door on his floor.The wall under Yu Cangsheng's feet began to tremble slightly. He now somewhat regretted not connecting with this boy earlier. He didn't expect that even staying below alone, he could still cause a "change."Going back to connect now seemed meaningless.Most importantly, doing it this way would be too obvious.He didn't fear the force behind the boy. Anyway, he was from a proper Longwang family, and he respected other Longwang families, but he didn't fear them.He just didn't think it was appropriate to do overly obvious suppressive actions. Normal portal interest contention was fine, but truly lowering himself to bully a small junior was indeed a bit beneath him.In front of Li Zhuiyuan, he had claimed to be a senior, especially after discovering Li Zhuiyuan had Zhao Wuzang's copper coin sword. He had given Zhao Wuzang an extremely high evaluation.He and Zhao Wuzang were competitors in the same era, and even sympathetic rivals. Zhao Wuzang rose step by step in their era, not showing his hand or revealing his strength, and finally became Longwang. He was convinced.One should know that in that generation, not only did many Jiaolong appear among the grassroots, but each Longwang family also produced extremely excellent successors. In other eras, these could all compete for the position of Longwang, but in the end, the winner was still Zhao Wuzang.This was a good child, a child with unlimited potential. He liked him.Faceless person: "Does the book look good?"Li Zhuiyuan answered: "Still don't understand, but it feels quite good."Faceless person: "Not bad, you already understand a little so quickly."Li Zhuiyuan: "Do you have something?"Faceless person: "Nothing, just wanted to chat with you."Li Zhuiyuan: "Oh."Faceless person: "Originally wanted to ascend in front of you, but it's still lacking a bit. It's time for changes to appear, and changes indeed have just emerged."Li Zhuiyuan: "This is very normal."Faceless person: "A good thing hard won?"Li Zhuiyuan: "Things that were originally impossible to happen will naturally have various impossible changes. It's a dream, and eventually, it will wake up."Faceless person: "The same words he said back then.""You lost.""This is of course. He can be placed on the offering table in that girl's dream. Isn't this clearly showing he won? But I said to him at that time that the true outcome of winning and losing is not in a single moment. After I'm done, I will show him.""That sentence I just said is actually used here.""You will see, child. I guarantee that I can let you personally witness true ascension. Then, at the moment of becoming immortal, I will kill you.I will go to the true heavenly palace and become a high-above immortal.And you will go to hell to reincarnate, go below, and tell him about my success.""He has no spirit."The faceless person was silent.Li Zhuiyuan smiled.You are bitterly pursuing the dream of becoming immortal, but he, for the sake of the humans in this world, doesn't even want a unique trace.Isn't this a kind of satire?Because you haven't succeeded yet, but he has already practiced his promise and mission and succeeded.The faceless person seemed unable to leave the range of the high tower, so he always stood inside the tower door.Upstairs, Yu Miaomiao was continuously pushing the door while enduring immense pain, making the faceless person's face portion here larger and larger.Although this was getting bigger again, it was also meaningless.The faceless person opened his mouth again: "He was just a bit early, and I was just a bit late. I will, through your eyes, your life, sacrifice my oath of that year."Li Zhuiyuan: "It seems you don't actually completely believe this."Faceless person: "If I didn't believe this, why would I appear here? You know how long I have stayed here, only able to be imprisoned within this high tower, unable to leave half a step."Li Zhuiyuan: "You are just unwilling to lose.""Hehehehe... hehehehe..."The faceless person laughed for a long time."Actually, you can try begging for mercy. If you beg for mercy, I really won't find it easy to kill you.""If I beg for mercy, you will only want to kill me more, because I will defile his name.""Then you want to live?""Yes, but whether I live or die has nothing to do with you.""You shouldn't have started river walking so early. The blessings of those two families also didn't break to the extent of letting you be wrapped up in river water so early. Why?"Li Zhuiyuan lowered his head and casually flipped through the blank book in his hand.It was all because he loved reading books that he caused trouble, all because he read books."I also really like reading books. In my family, there has always been a legend passed down for generations, and there is also a book buried under the ancestor's grave, which is not allowed to be viewed by descendants.""This set of rules shouldn't exist. Such rules will only make later generations do the opposite.""Well, there is a terrifying prohibition set under my family's ancestor's grave. When I went in, I saw many ancestor corpses inside. Everyone obviously didn't listen.If you go inside, you will die. That ancestor didn't lie. He should have been intentional, because that legend is not only found in my family, but also rumored in the Jianghu.So, I suspect he intentionally set this rule to kill the ambitious descendants in the later generations.""You didn't die?""I died. To win, I burned everything. My life wasn't long, yet I still lost to him.When I went to the ancestor's grave, I was actually already a dead person, and only for that reason, I was able to walk out alive and bring that book."Li Zhuiyuan stirred open the blank book in his hand and showed it to the faceless person.It meant, I'll show you my book, and you can also talk about yours."The ancestor's prohibition has a time limit. It will unlock itself in due time, and this book will also appear in the world. I just obtained it earlier.""Not much is recorded in the book.It just records the location here, plus a sentence: The day the prohibition breaks, the entire clan shall come here to welcome the descent of a great opportunity for our clan.""Date?""Just today.""Then you arrived so early?""Well, I not only arrived early myself, I also brought my entire family here early. It's a pity they weren't qualified to enter the tower, so they can only be placed in those two kneeling corpse pits for now.Inside are all feudal lords and nobles. It's not really humiliating them, right?"Li Zhuiyuan knew that when the faceless person said "already died," he was referring to becoming a state of neither human nor ghost. As for bringing the entire family together... he was referring to killing his entire family and bringing all their corpses here."My mistake was entering the prohibition early and getting that book. I was already dead at that time and didn't have much time left in the world, so I could only rush here.But I was afraid that because of me, the entire clan would lose this great opportunity, so I could only bring them together. I'm also doing this for their good. After all, they are family.Do you think I did the right thing?""I don't care about this.""Oh?""You can't control the formation here, right?"Compared to human tragedy, Li Zhuiyuan cared more about technical problems.Faceless person: "I can't, but the rules here, because I have the ancestor's bloodline, for the ancestor's sake, can give me a little preferential treatment.""Oh." Li Zhuiyuan nodded and evaluated, "This is a defect, not perfect. Your ancestor should modify it a bit. How can a formation show favoritism?""Wait until you die, go down, and communicate well with him again.""Eh, your ancestor didn't ascend?""The prohibition inside the ancestor's grave is centered around his corpse as the formation eye. I can't take it with me.The day the prohibition unlocks is the time when his corpse will dissipate.He also lost the opportunity for ascension because of this. Perhaps it's because of the reason you just mentioned. I, this later descendant, can receive preferential treatment from the rules here because of this thin bloodline. If he were here, the rules would probably collapse directly upon seeing his complete face."Li Zhuiyuan pointed upstairs: "The door is already open wide enough. Aren't you planning to do something?""Well, I just came to tell you. Sorry to keep you waiting a bit longer. After I've dealt with things, I'll start immediately.""Okay, I understand."The faceless person disappeared.But his figure did not reappear on the top floor. Instead, he appeared on the eleventh floor.Inside the eleventh floor, there were originally three beds and three people. Now, only two remained.Actually, among these three people, there were also differences.The black-skirted woman was the sharpest, the scholar was the most mysterious... and the old Taoist was the most powerful.It was also because the twelfth floor was the big bell that he could only make do with the eleventh floor. According to reason, he should occupy a floor alone.The faceless person was standing in front of the old Taoist at this moment.Indeed, just as he had told the boy before, the preferential treatment from the rules was limited.But one person was an exception.He reached out and slowly tore off the skin of his face from bottom to top.The high tower began to tremble.The black shadows inside the emerald began to wander excitedly, and the teachers and students in the school began to worship.After the faceless skin was torn off, a new face skin was exposed inside. This new face skin had facial features.He only lifted it open halfway before stopping, just below the nose, because the high tower was trembling more and more uncontrollably, and he couldn't continue tearing.But this was already enough.He had no face because he had torn off his ancestor's face and pasted it on his own.He said his preferential treatment was because the formation here favored his ancestor. These words were truly not false in the slightest.The half-faced person spoke to the Taoist in front of him:"The path to ascension has been arduous. Today, fate is nearly perfect, and the great undertaking of ascension is right in front of us. We need to re-step and break through the last tribulation.Therefore,Please, Taoist, descend from the mountain!"()
