âYouâ¦â
The Supreme Ancestor frowned. He was a little stunned and could not understand why Qiu Wandao said this. However, Qiu Wandao was an Eternal Supreme Venerate, so he would not lie to him.
Thinking of this, the Supreme Ancestor immediately raised his head, and his gaze landed on Qi Ming. He circulated his divine power to observe carefully. Only then did he discover that Qi Mingâs body was actually enveloped by the Heaven and Earth Great Dao.
âThisâ¦â
The Supreme Ancestor reacted and said in a surprised tone, âGreat Dao Cultivator! He⦠heâs actually a Great Dao Cultivator! Heâs the ninth Great Dao Cultivator!â
âThis⦠thisâ¦â
âHow can this be?!â
The Supreme Ancestor could not help but be filled with questions, âThe Heaven and Earth Black Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda has already appeared for more than a thousand years. The other eight Great Dao Cultivators have long been the first to enter the pagoda. Now, more than a thousand years have passed. Has this ninth Great Dao Cultivator just arrived?â
The Supreme Ancestor took a deep breath. He already understood, âQiu Wandao, oh Qiu Wandao. No wonder you were willing to be this personâs Dao Protector. So heâs a Great Dao Cultivator. If thatâs the case, you indeed have a chance to obtain the Heavenly Dao Origin and leave the Nine Worlds.â
âPerhapsâ¦â
Qiu Wandao shook his head. He did not continue explaining because there was no need. Be it the Supreme Ancestor or the Heavenly Venerates present, they did not know how terrifying and unfathomable Senior Qi Ming was.
If it was only because Qi Ming was a Great Dao Cultivator, Qiu Wandao would not be like this.
The Supreme Ancestor was different from Qiu Wandao.
In the Nine Worlds.
There were mainly two different opposing thoughts.
The first type was like Qiu Wandao.
They believed that the Nine Worlds was only a cage. After becoming an Eternal Supreme Venerate, they only had one goal: to enter the Heaven and Earth Black Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda and obtain the Heavenly Dao Origin to leave the Nine Worlds Cage.
The second type was like the Supreme Ancestorâ¦
They thought that the Nine Worlds was their homeland. They needed to protect the Nine Worlds and had never thought of leaving. Their goal was to develop their own faction and enter the Heaven and Earth Black Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda to obtain the Heavenly Dao Origin. However, it was not for the sake of leaving the Nine Worlds, but to use the Heavenly Dao Origin to nurture more Eternal Supreme Venerates.
âAttack!â The purple-haired youth roared, âMyriad Dragon Seal!â
The purple-haired youth took out his Intrinsic Dao Treasure and let out waves of dragon roars. Accompanied by countless True Dragon shadows, they condensed and transformed into a towering jade seal. It was completely purple-gold and surrounded by a dragon-shaped Heavenly Dao True Talisman. It crushed space and suppressed Qi Ming.
âKill.â Qi Ming said indifferently.
âYes.â Mara replied.
Qi Ming did not plan to personally attack. He did not need to.
âChaos!â
Mara raised his hand and used the Great Dao Divine Power. The power of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao condensed and controlled the power of the Upper World Heavenly Dao to evolve the Chaos Heavenly Dao.
In an instant, the moment Maraâs right hand landed, a Chaos World appeared and devoured the purple-haired youthâs Myriad Dragon Seal, becoming a part of the Chaos.
The purple-haired youth screamed and spat out blood. His Intrinsic Dao Treasure was destroyed and he suffered a terrifying backlash. His face was ghastly pale, and his aura was low. His face was filled with surprise, âMy⦠my Intrinsic Dao Treasure, you⦠you⦠what did you do?!â
âThat isâ¦â
The Supreme Ancestor reacted and sensed the terrifying aura emitted by Mara, making him feel fear, âGreat Dao Divine Power!â
âMoreover⦠another Eternal Supreme Venerate!â
âHow is this possible?!â
Shocking!
It was extremely shocking!
The purple-haired youth screamed miserably. He was already submerged in Chaos and could not escape or struggle. He was like a drowning child, filled with powerlessness and despair.
At this moment, the purple-haired youth felt deep fear. Only then did he understand what kind of terrifying existence he had offended.
Regret.
He was extremely regretful.
Unfortunatelyâ¦
It was already too late.
âStop!â
The Supreme Ancestor wanted to save him.
âIf I were you, I wouldnât do such an irrational thing.â Qiu Wandao said.
âWhat⦠Iâ¦â
The Supreme Ancestor was stunned. He could not help but fall silent.
âSupreme Ancestor⦠Ancestor⦠save⦠save meâ¦â The purple-haired youth cried out in despair.
ââ¦â
The Supreme Ancestor slowly closed his eyes.
A few seconds later, the purple-haired youth completely died. He had already been assimilated by Maraâs Chaos and became a part of it. He had completely disappeared from this world.
ââ¦â
At this moment, everyone fell silent.
One could hear a pin drop.
âThen⦠who else has any objections?â Qi Mingâs gaze swept across all the Heavenly Venerates present.
However, no Heavenly Venerate dared to look at Qi Ming. They did not even dare to breathe loudly. All of them lowered their heads and tried to stay low.
What had just happened was too terrifying.
It awed all the Heavenly Venerates present.
âToo⦠too terrifyingâ¦â
âThis⦠thisâ¦â
âThere are actually two Eternal Supreme Venerate Dao Protectors following him.â
âThe purple-haired youth has clearly called out his Dao Protector, but he was terrified to the point of not daring to attack at all. He can only watch as the purple-haired youth was killed!â
âToo powerful.â
ââ¦â
The Heavenly Venerates were incomparably shocked. They did not dare to speak because they were worried that the voices would anger Qi Ming, so they could only exclaim in their hearts.
âWhat about you?â Qi Ming looked up at the Supreme Ancestor and asked calmly.
âI⦠I welcome you into the pagoda!â
After the Supreme Ancestor was slightly stunned, he immediately reacted. His attitude completely changed as he cupped his hands and bowed to Qi Ming, his tone extremely respectful.
âThatâs good.â
Qi Ming nodded in satisfaction.
âEnter the pagoda!â
Qi Ming turned around and clasped his hands behind his back. Void and Myriad Mountains followed closely behind. Mara and Qiu Wandao guarded the sides and walked towards the Heaven and Earth Black Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda under the gazes of everyone.
In the outside world.
In the Nine Halls.
âThis Qi Ming is really impressive. Although he was at the bottom among the nine Great Dao Cultivators when he just entered the Nine Worlds, more than 90,000 years have passed. Not only has his cultivation and realm reached the ninth level of the Rule Heavenly Venerate, but he has also caught up to the other eight Great Dao Cultivators. There are actually two Eternal Supreme Venerates beside him!â
âThatâs right!â
âItâs indeed not bad!â
âAlthough he entered the pagoda a thousand years later, itâs not impossible!â
âYes! Yes!â
ââ¦â
The Eternal Supreme Venerates discussed animatedly. After seeing Qi Mingâs performance and strength, they clearly began to think more highly of him.
Kai Ya frowned and was worried, âWho would have expected that he would actually grow to this extent in less than 90,000 years? Slion joined the line 500 years ago and is now at the 158th level. If Qi Ming catches up, something bad will probably happen.â
The Primordial Supreme Venerateâs face was filled with relief, âJunior Brother Qiâs growth speed is much faster than mine. Iâm afraid I canât compare to you. Perhaps you can become Masterâs inner sect disciple or even his personal disciple!â
âAt that time, Iâll become your junior brother.â
âHahahaâ¦â The Primordial Heavenly Venerate laughed happily.
Outside the Nine Halls.
Qing Yu, Wen Sheng, and Senior Brother Su basically placed their attention on the Heaven and Earth Black Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda. Therefore, they took in the commotion and things Qi Ming did.
âThis Qi Mingâ¦â Wen Sheng said in a low voice, âHeâs indeed quite capable.â
âRight?â Qing Yu smiled, âTherefore, he might really be able to obtain the true secret of the Heaven and Earth Black Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda, just like Eldest Senior Brother.â
âItâs too early to say.â Wen Sheng said indifferently.
Senior Brother Su was silent.
Heaven and Earth Black Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda.
Qi Ming and the others arrived in front of the pagoda door and stood at the entrance of the first level. The pagoda door revealed an ancient and unadorned light. Qi Ming took out the Thirty-sixth Grade Black Lotus, which was the âkeyâ.
This black lotus flew out and emitted waves of light. It floated towards the pagoda door and coincidentally overlapped with the black lotus mark in the center.
Qi Ming felt a slight tremble. The Demon Lotus Key fused into it, and the ancient pagoda door in front of him slowly opened.
He stood outside and looked. It was pitch-black inside. He could not see anything at all. It was like a pitch-black world that was filled with mystery and terror.
The Heaven and Earth Black Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda had a total of 129,600 levels. Every level had a different test. Moreover, these tests were varied and strange. They contained the various truths and mysteries of the myriad worlds in the heavens and the earth. Only by truly understanding the mysteries of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao could one clear all of them and walk to the top of the pagoda.
At that time, he could obtain the Heavenly Dao Origin.
âGo!â
Qi Ming took a deep breath and walked towards the first level of the pagoda. His figure gradually disappeared into the darkness. Void, Myriad Mountains, Qiu Wandao, and Mara quickly followed.
There was another slight tremble.
The door to the first level of the Heaven and Earth Black Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda slowly closed.
âThis big shot has finally left.â
âI canât understand why this big shot is a thousand years late.â
âSighâ¦â
âLetâs line up obediently.â
âWhen will it be my turn? Iâve already waited for more than a thousand years.â
âLetâs wait slowly.â
ââ¦â
The Heavenly Venerates sighed.
The scene changed.
In the first level.
âThis isâ¦â
Qi Ming had already walked in. When he stepped in, it was as if he had crossed the world and arrived here. He looked around.
What greeted Qi Mingâs eyes was an empty room that was nine square meters in size. There was nothing in the room except for a window that could see the blue sky outside.
Fortunately, Void, Myriad Mountains, Qiu Wandao, and Mara followed Qi Ming.
âWelcome to the first level of the Heaven and Earth Black Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda.â
âEscape Room Challenge!â
Suddenly, in front of Qi Ming, streaks of light gathered and formed a virtual screen-like scene. It floated in midair and displayed the corresponding information.
âEh?!â Qi Ming was stunned, âWhat?! Escape Room Challenge?!â
