Chapter 170: All Kinds of People As soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately agreed. "Master Chen is right. It's just a floating world, so why would Master Bai have to use the Xieyue Order to summon us here? Don't you agree?" The man sitting on the left had a handsome face and looked only in his twenties. He was slouching in his chair, and even his voice was lazy. An elderly woman with white hair held a dragon-headed cane, and the whole hall shook. She said in a deep voice, "Patriarch Tong is surprised by what he said. Since it can trigger a world dispute, it means that this floating world has the possibility of challenging us. This matter is of great importance and must not be taken lightly." Bai Changbi, who was sitting at the head, said, "Fairy Ji is right. Fellow family heads, according to ancient teachings, when the world war begins, a monument to heaven will descend from the floating world, the ladder to heaven will be opened, and all kinds of divine objects, skills, and magic weapons will be bestowed. Even if it is a barren land, it should not be underestimated to have so many natural treasures." The lazy man took a sip of tea and said lazily, "So what? Are these things missing in my Linglong Realm? But how many people have achieved the Divine Stage? In the Floating Realm, the peak cultivators are only at the Dao Fire Realm. If there are really good seedlings, I'm afraid they have also taken the path to heaven and entered the cultivation world. A hundred years will pass in the blink of an eye. Even if there are a few people with extraordinary talents who have achieved the Divine Stage, how can they compare to the countless years accumulated in my Linglong Realm." The old man in fancy clothes also said calmly: "Not to mention that the floating world is getting worse and worse now, even if it is recorded in ancient books, who has ever successfully fought for the world? There is no need to make such a big fuss. Could it be that the head of the Bai family has other plans?" boom! The old woman slammed her cane on the ground and said coldly, "Master Chen, be careful what you say. Master Bai is preparing for a rainy day. This is a world war, not a trivial matter. It concerns the safety of our entire Xieyue World. If we lose, the origin will be taken away by the floating world, and this world will fall into the devil's domain and will never rise again. Not only our major families, but also hundreds of millions of lives may be destroyed. Can you bear this responsibility?" "Ji Yuhuan, stop putting all these accusations on me. I, Chen Tongming, don't buy it. Master Bai, if you have something to say, just say it directly. If there is nothing else, I, Chen, will not accompany you." The old man in fancy clothes snorted coldly. "In the face of a world war, it is never too much to be cautious. We must make sure that nothing goes wrong. Therefore, I plan to use the Oblique Moon Order once to open the Five Directions Formation, cross the Tongtian Monument, and take a look at the Heavenly Ladder Ranking." As soon as this person appeared, some people's faces changed immediately.
"No, to activate the Five Directions Formation, each of my family needs five high-grade spiritual veins. Your Bai family is rich, so it doesn't matter, but my Chen family doesn't have the surplus." "My Tong family can't afford it. Five high-grade spirit veins can support five divine monks." Bai Changbi ignored the two of them and looked at the old man on the right who had not spoken. The old man was dressed in black and had an indifferent expression. "Brother Wang, what do you think?" “But, the time is set at ten years later. It’s useless to look at the floating world at this moment.” The old man in black said lightly. Upon hearing this, Chen and Tong stopped talking, but their brows were furrowed. Bai Changbi smiled and said, "That's exactly what I meant. If the floating world is really threatening, we may have to use up the resources of the Xieyue World and take some measures." The old man in black was slightly surprised: "It is said that even the gods are helpless under the Tongtian Monument. Brother Bai actually has a way?" Bai Changbi said calmly: "If it were in the outside world, not to mention the gods, even immortals would find it difficult to break through the realm of the Tongtian Monument, but the floating world and the exquisite world are of the same origin, and my Bai family has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and we happen to know some methods that others don't know. Now the key is whether we can find and locate this floating world, and we have to find out whether it is worth using these methods. After all, the price is a bit high." …… The landing of the Tongtian Monument brought about tremendous changes to the people in the floating world. A wave of cultivation swept across the world, and the path that was originally almost closed to ordinary people seemed to be opened all of a sudden. It takes almost no time to enter the ladder. Even people in their seventies and eighties are willing to give it a try. If they can get rewards, even if they don't use them themselves, they can give them to younger people or sell them for a lot of money. But this also caused trouble. The illusion was like real life. It was fine to enter it once or twice, but if you entered it too many times, it would disrupt your original memory. Many people have become insane as a result of this, and it is not uncommon for people to have drastic changes in their personalities. There were also many people who angrily denounced the government and claimed that they were the emperor. The Daqian court quickly issued official documents and government propaganda, and the situation was barely under control. However, there were still many people who took risks for the reward. There is no way to deal with this. Under the coverage of the Tongtian Monument, no external objects are needed to enter the Ladder to Heaven. One can step in with just a thought. Some people even live in poverty and are willing to die in order to live a happy life in that fantasy world. In Beiquan Mountain, Gu Yuanqing couldn't help but remain silent as he looked at the world outside. This is the human heart. All living beings have different desires. For some people, a lifetime is the outside world, and a lifetime is also the illusion.
However, compared with these older people with rich experience, the young ones have an advantage. They have simple minds and are not easily deceived by illusions, so they benefit a lot. That day, Gu Yuanqing came to the courtyard below, looked at the haggard Ji Dai, frowned and said: "Senior Ji, you can't go in anymore." At this time, Ji Dai was lying on a chair with a haggard face, his body was dirty and he smelled drunk. He did not look like a Taoist fire realm cultivator, but rather a drunkard, with a dull look in his eyes. Facing Gu Yuanqing, he could only force a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Gu, but this is my mental tribulation after all. If I can't get over it, my cultivation may have to stop here. Now that there is such an opportunity, how can I give up?" Li Shian sighed and pulled Gu Yuanqing out of the yard. "Ji Daoyou was born into a wealthy family. His first wife was his childhood sweetheart, but someone framed him and he murdered her in bed. He found out the truth later, but it was too late to regret. Before she died, she only asked him one question: why didn't you trust her? This question has been with him all his life, and he still can't get over it even now." Gu Yuanqing asked again: "What about you? Senior, I noticed that you seem to be a little bit off these days." "I dare not enter the illusion of the ladder to heaven again for the time being. Once I enter, my memory is obscured. Although I can still break through the illusion every time, my mind has been uneasy these days." Li Shi'an had a complicated expression. Some things are still a hurdle even if they are in the past. Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly: "It's fine as long as you know what's going on, senior." After returning to his own courtyard, Gu Yuanqing once again entered the Heavenly Ladder Trial. Under the realm of the Tongtian Monument, the Heaven Ladder Trial can be entered once a day. Either start again from the point of failure, or start from the beginning. The illusions of the first three steps are like a tiger blocking the road, blocking countless people. However, unlike others, with the phantom of the sacred mountain there, the illusion could not obscure his memory, and naturally could not impact his mind. Gu Yuanqing started from the beginning every day just to get the rewards of Phoenix Gold and Seven-Colored Cloud Iron. (End of this chapter)
