"Impossible!" Yin Yang said in a muffled voice.
Along the way, Yin Yang had personally experienced the dangers of this place. This time, the eight of them were lucky. They only met a Nascent Soul Transformation Realm beast on the third level. The eight of them worked together to kill the beast. They had been scared witless the entire way. Now that they had finally reached this place, someone had arrived before them?
How could Yin Yang believe that?
The eight of them were considered the most powerful among the 72 Earthly Emanations.
"Someone has already reached this place. However, from the footprints, this person seems to have walked up and down the stone steps several times."
At this moment, a tall and beautiful lady spoke coldly. She wore a fiery-red robe that accentuated her curvaceous body perfectly. Her perfect figure and exquisite face were enough to arouse the most primitive desires of men.
Compared to her beautiful and alluring body, the lady's voice and expression were cold. Her beautiful eyes were emotionless. She was the only lady among the eight of them. Her name was Han Jinxuan and she was ranked third among the Earthly Emanations. Her status was also extraordinary. She was the pride of the Sword Celestial Mountain and the only one among the younger generation who was as famous as the Young Sword Celestial Li Chengxian!
Yin Yang and Luo Bayu, who was ranked first among the Earthly Emanations, changed their expressions. They looked at the footprints on the ground and then at the stone steps. Their expressions were ugly. Luo Bayu frowned and said, "Who could it be?
Who among the 72 Earthly Emanations could have reached here before us? "
Yang Dao, who was standing behind them, remained silent. He couldn't help but think of Qin Yu, but he wasn't sure.
"Could it be Li Youcai?"
The young man who didn't think much of it spoke. His name was Dong Xu and he was ranked ninth among the Earthly Emanations. He was the direct descendant of one of the marquises under the Zenith Heaven Daolord.
Xu Fusheng, Yin Yang, and the rest all changed their expressions. Actually, they also thought of Qin Yu, but they found it hard to accept.
"It should be him. If he could pass through the first stage of the 72 Earthly Emanations Challenge unimpeded, he should be able to pass through the Big Dipper Tower as well!" Xu Fusheng whispered.
"But if it's him, why did he go up and down the stone steps so many times?" Han Jinxuan asked in surprise.
"Let's not worry about that for now. Let's go up first. That Li Youcai is able to move freely through this place. If we find him and have him lead the way … then we'll be able to move unimpeded before the seventh level, and we won't have to fear any Dao Realm ferocious beasts. At that time, our chances of becoming a Heavenly Star Realm expert will be greatly increased." A young man with a hooked nose and a malicious expression spoke in a low voice. His name was Su Anren, and he possessed an extraordinary status.
Xu Fusheng and the others were visibly shaken. Although they were the chosen of the heavens, they were still treading on thin ice in this Dipper Pagoda. They didn't dare to relax for even a moment. They were constantly on guard against their surroundings, afraid that they would be targeted by vicious beasts again. And when they learned that Dao Realm vicious beasts had appeared on the fourth floor of the Dipper Pagoda, every strange movement caused their scalps to go numb. If they encountered a Dao Realm vicious beast on the fifth or sixth floor, they would all have to give up on the trial.
So if they could travel together with Qin Yu, they couldn't ask for anything more. At the very least, the danger level of the fifth and sixth floors would be greatly reduced.
"I'm just afraid that Li Youcai won't go with us. I heard …" Dong Xu couldn't help but glance at Xu Fusheng.
"Hmph, as long as we find him, whether or not he leads the way won't be up to him. Alright, let's go to the fifth floor first!"
Snorted Yin Yang sinisterly. If Li Youcai was tactful, he could let him live a bit longer. But if he didn't, he would definitely kill him in the Dipper Pagoda.
Yin Yang stepped onto the stone steps, and the others followed closely behind. What the eight of them didn't know was that in a cave more than ten li away, Qin Yu was smiling coldly. "It's not impossible for me to lead the way, but let's talk about it after we pass this stage."
Qin Yu really didn't mind traveling with Yin Yang and the others. Although it was safe to travel alone, once they encountered a Fearsome Beast, they would be doomed eternally. So, with them around, Qin Yu would be much more relaxed. They could look after each other, and if they really encountered a powerful Fearsome Beast, there would be someone to lure it away for him. So, why not?
Among the eight of them, only Xu Fusheng and Yin Yang were hostile to him. Other than Yang Dao, the others might have been tempted by Lei Zhuoyue to attack him in times of danger. But Qin Yu believed that before the seventh floor, whether it was Xu Fusheng, Yin Yang, or the other Earthly Fiends, they wouldn't attack him!
So, before they reached the seventh floor, traveling with them would only be advantageous. However, Qin Yu wouldn't show himself for the time being. He would wait until they lured the Fearsome Beast away!
At the same time.
Heavenly Fiend City, Western Plains!
"What's going on?
It's been half a month. That Li Youcai hasn't moved from the fourth floor for half a month. What is he waiting for?
Could it be that he's waiting for the eight of them? "
"There are already eight Earthly Fiends not far from Li Youcai, but why do I feel like they haven't noticed Li Youcai?"
"It seems like that Li Youcai is not afraid of the Fearsome Beast. He must have some incredible Concealment Technique, and this Concealment Technique must have come from his master, the Sobbing Old Man!"
"I thought that this Li Youcai had some extraordinary ability. So it's because of his Concealment Technique!"
Hearing the discussions of the other cultivators, Lei Zhuoyue couldn't sit still. He didn't expect Qin Yu to be able to hide from the other eight Earthly Fiends. There was no need to think about it. Among these eight, there must be a few who were ranked at the top. They all had extraordinary abilities, and yet they hadn't noticed Li Youcai.
"Useless things!" Lei Zhuoyue cursed under his breath. How far was he?
Not a single one of the eight had noticed Li Youcai?
At that moment, Lei Zhuoyue was completely anxious. The thing he was most worried about had happened. If they encountered a powerful Fearsome Beast, Li Youcai could just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Wouldn't he be able to wipe out all eight of them?
At that time … no matter how perfect his plan was, he wouldn't be able to stop Li Youcai.
Beautiful Mo, who was standing at the side, was calm. However, her brows had unfurrowed. Sensing the restless Lei Zhuoyue beside her, Beautiful Mo couldn't help but think of that confident figure who could remain calm in the face of so many geniuses. The difference between the two of them was becoming more and more obvious … However, Beautiful Mo was curious. How did he do it?
Based on his cultivation level and age, how could he have such a high mental state?
Just as Beautiful Mo's thoughts were running wild, the sounds of discussion from all around them formed waves of sound that shot up into the sky.
"What's going on?
The eight of them had just reached the fifth level. Why did they retreat? "
"Could it be … that there's a powerful Fearsome Beast guarding the entrance to the fifth level?"
"Wait, it's not eight anymore. It's seven!
Are they dead?
Or have they given up? "
"Looks like this Big Dipper Pagoda test will stop at the fourth level. There must be a Fearsome Beast guarding the entrance to the fifth level!
No wonder Li Youcai didn't dare to continue. "
While the cultivators were still in shock, Yin Yang and the rest were rushing down the stone steps. Dong Xu almost rolled down the stone steps. When they landed, the seven of them were still in shock.
