Xiao Han exited from the 1001st floor of the Yaoxia Tower and teleported to the 60th floor of the Yaoxia Tower. He found a quiet room in the entertainment area.
Sitting on the wooden chair, Xiao Han took out his Yaoxia Token and murmured to himself, "As expected, the Tower Master didn't insist on making things difficult for me when we met again … It seems like he needs me to enter the genius zone to search for celestial treasures for him … But it's okay, I'll enter the genius zone for my own cultivation and accumulation … I'll just play it by ear."
Xiao Han's psyche seeped into the communication panel of the Yaoxia Token and sent a message to Xiao Mingchu … "Eldest Senior Brother, I'm resting on the 60th floor. You can come and find me after the meeting."
Then, Xiao Han sent a message to Wu Hao, Dongfang Qin, Fang Ling, and the others to report that he was safe.
When Xiao Han found the name 'Shao Yunrong' in the communication panel, he immediately fell into a trance.
Xiao Han tried to communicate with her, but he found that, just like before, "Shao Yunrong" had turned off the communication function of the Devil Hero Token, so that Xiao Han's psychic waves could not be transmitted. Any message was like a clay ox entering the sea, without any response.
"Hey ~ ~ ~ Yunrong, where are you?
Why don't you turn on the communication function of the Yaoxia Token?
I'll probably leave for the genius zone tomorrow. I don't know when I'll be back … "Xiao Han shook his head and sighed.
…
Not long after, Xiao Mingchu came down from the 1000th floor of the Yaoxia Tower and met up with Xiao Han.
The two of them gathered and quickly chatted.
"Eldest Senior Brother, what information did you get from the meeting?" Xiao Han asked with interest.
Xiao Mingchu nodded slightly.
"The meeting on the 1000th floor of the Yaoxia Tower was hosted by 12 elders.
Including me, there were 102 Yaoxia in total who participated in the meeting.
The one with the strongest cultivation base is an ancient giant. He is ranked 77th on the Monster Hero Ranking, Yan Qi. The rest are all ancient giants. Their cultivation bases are similar to mine. There are five of them who are at the eighth stage of true qi, the Talisman Formation Realm. "
"Oh?
There's an ancient giant below 10,000 years old? "Xiao Han was slightly stunned.
"Yes, Yan Qi is younger than most of the ancient giants. He reached the ninth level of True Qi, True Treasure Realm at 9,000 years old.
He should be able to compete with the geniuses from other planes.
He is the rightful leader of our plane who has entered the genius zone. "Xiao Mingchu nodded.
After a pause, Xiao Mingchu continued.
"Junior Brother Xiao Han, if you go to the 1001st floor, it should be the Pagoda Master who wants to meet you alone, right?"
"Yes, the Tower Master told me that if there are no accidents, we will depart tomorrow and head for the space springboard closest to our plane." Xiao Han nodded.
"There are two space springboards for us to choose from. One of them will take 200 days to reach, while the other one will take 260 days.
There are still 288 days until the opening of the genius zone. "
"Yes, that's all," Xiao Mingchu said directly.
"Junior Brother Xiao Han, let's just wait and see.
Once he left this plane, he would have to be extra careful.
Remember, it will be extremely dangerous on the way to the springboard.
Perhaps they would encounter a destructive space energy turbulence along the way.
Let's not talk about the genius zone first. It's already not easy to smoothly enter the nearest space springboard. "
…
On the top floor of the Yaoxia Pagoda.
Thirteen powerful mental storms were wriggling and communicating with each other.
"Tower Master, all the supreme-grade True Qi Spirit Stones in the entire plane are being sent to the Yaoxia Tower.
We have already collected supreme-grade True Qi Spirit Stones from the four regions, as well as from every sect and empire in the Great Wilderness.
We are also frantically mining some of the supreme-grade True Qi Spirit Stones in the depths of the Great Wilderness, "an elder reported solemnly.
"Fortunately, the resources in our plane are not bad. After entering the space springboard, we have enough resources to teleport."
"Yes, let's decide which path to take now."
The Tower Master immediately said, "After repeated research, I have decided … to choose the space springboard that can be reached in 260 days!"
"Tower Master … This?
Why did you choose this path?
Isn't there a Space Springboard that's closer to our plane?
It will only take 200 days. "The elders were puzzled.
"Pagoda Master, since we're only 288 days away from the opening of the genius zone, why don't we take a shortcut instead of taking a detour?
This … wasting 60 days for no good reason … isn't it a little … a little inappropriate? "
"Of course!
Didn't I consider this?
I have studied the path that can be reached in 200 days. It is extremely dangerous.
This path is filled with abyssal black holes, spatial rifts, space-time storms, meteorite fragments … Moreover, there will be hundreds of demons from other planes who will choose this path.
Although the World of Immortals has decreed that the heroes of other planes aren't allowed to fight each other before entering the genius zone, it's inevitable that some friction will arise if we encounter heroes of other planes. That could delay our journey, "the tower master said coldly.
"Huh?
Abyssal black holes?
Spatial rifts?
Space-Time storms?
Meteor fragments? "The twelve elders sucked in a breath of cold air and were scared out of their wits.
"Terrifying … Too terrifying …"
"Hmph!
Let's just talk about the spatial rifts.
Even a hair-thin spatial rift is enough to break a person's body!
A slightly larger spatial rift can suck a person in and grind them to dust! "The Tower Master's voice was also filled with fear.
"Ordinary spatial rifts have the power to devour space. Even ordinary immortals will have their immortal bodies destroyed if they fall into the range of a spatial rift, let alone us."
"It's too dangerous. We can't choose this path!" the elders yelled.
"There's also the meteorite debris stream. Sometimes, the densely packed meteorite fragments can smash an Immortal into a hornet's nest. When the space-time storm blows, we'll be blown into dust and our souls will dissipate. When the abyssal black hole devours us, not even ashes will be left." The Pagoda Master said coldly.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that this path leads to the space springboard. It's only a two-hundred-day journey, but it's extremely dangerous along the way. If we choose this path, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the space springboard at all. We'll all be wiped out."
Those elders were scared silly, and they were trembling with fear as they spoke one after another.
"The treasures in the Genius Zone are precious, but there's really no need to gamble with our lives or even die for nothing.
Pagoda Master, the route that takes 260 days to reach should … shouldn't have so many dangerous factors, right? "
"Yes, this path is relatively safer." The Tower Master nodded with a smile.
"There won't be any dangers like spatial rifts along the way."
"Huh?
Is that so?
That's great!
That's great!
Nothing could be better than reaching the space springboard safely! "The elders were all relieved.
"Don't celebrate too early!" The Tower Master said in a low voice.
"The 260-day journey isn't completely uneventful.
In fact, there's no such thing as tranquility in the vast cosmos!
There's also a very dangerous factor on this path, and that is … the Hallucinatory Fiend Land! "
"The Hallucinatory Fiend Land?" The elders were shocked.
"The Hallucinatory Fiend Land is also one of the turbulent flows of energy in the cosmos. However, it's a formless' psychic flow '," the Tower Master explained solemnly.
"The so-called 'Hallucinatory Fiend Land' is, in fact, formed by countless messy psychic fragments.
These fragments can affect one's mind, invade one's brain, and interfere with one's soul.
In other words, it can cause hallucinations. "
With that said, the elders all understood.
In the Hallucinatory Fiend Land, countless psychic fragments would invade one's mind and soul, causing hallucinations.
"To be honest, the Hallucinatory Fiend Land is also extremely dangerous. Ordinary hallucinations are nothing, but a powerful torrent of psychic fragments can instantly attack and affect one's mood and state of mind.
Once one loses control of their emotions, their mind will collapse, and they might even commit suicide, "the Tower Master said slowly.
After a pause, the Tower Master changed the topic.
"However, according to the description on the map, the psychic fragments on this path are more scattered. If we prepare in advance and guard our minds, we won't lose control of our emotions. At most, we'll have some slight hallucinations."
"That's right, Tower Master. As long as one's mind is firm and steady, they won't be attacked by the psychic fragments. Their minds will be clear for miles, and they won't have hallucinations."
An elder smiled, "I cultivate in the way of the sword, and my heart of the sword is bright. My sword intent can even kill the negative emotions of nothingness. Ordinary Hallucinatory Demonic Lands really can't threaten me, hahaha …"
"Hahahaha, that's right. We're all old antiques who have cultivated for countless years. What haven't we experienced?
Birth, old age, sickness, and death, all kinds of battles, life and death with the demon race, bottlenecks and breakthroughs in cultivation … Our minds have long since become impervious to honor and disgrace. Scattered psychic fragments can't affect our minds at all! "A few more elders expressed their opinions.
"Even if we have hallucinations, we'll be able to stop at the precipice and kill our inner demons in time!"
… …
The elders were more optimistic about the Hallucinatory Fiend Land.
"Enough, stop bragging ~ ~ ~" the Tower Master coldly scolded.
"That's right. We've lived for countless years, and we've experienced many things. We've also witnessed the rise and fall of the era. There's no problem with our minds.
However, if we encounter a psychic storm formed by countless psychic fragments, we won't be able to withstand it.
However, it's still much safer than spatial cracks, black holes, space-time storms, meteorite fragments, thunderbolts, and heavenly flames. "
"Don't worry, Tower Master. We definitely won't be careless." The elders expressed their opinions.
"Then, let's officially decide. We'll take this path that will take us 260 days." The Tower Master finally made his decision.
"Also, tell the 103 demons who entered the genius zone about the dangerous' Hallucinatory Fiend Land 'on this path.
Let them be prepared in advance.
However, they were able to cultivate to this level under the age of ten thousand. The weakest among them is at the True Qi Seventh Stage Talisman Transformation Realm. In terms of their minds, there shouldn't be too many problems. It shouldn't be too much of a problem for them to pass through the layers of 'Hallucinatory Fiend Land'. "
"Tower Master, that Xiao Han is still at the Expanded Meridian Realm … His realm is low, I wonder how his mind is …" An elder said in a low voice.
"Xiao Han?
Among the 103 candidates, this brat's realm is the lowest, but his mind is definitely the most stable.
There's no need to worry about this brat. "The Tower Master sneered.
"This time, we're going to make use of Xiao Han's luck. All of you, listen up. Don't make things difficult for Xiao Han along the way.
Let him work for us without worry. "
After pausing for a moment, the Tower Master spoke again.
"There are two more things that we need to pay attention to."
"Tower Master, please speak."
