In just a short time, Ye Mo was about to come to the end of his journey. He stopped, as for the first place in the second round, he did not want to take it for now. If he took the first place in the second round as well, in the third round, he would definitely encounter an underhanded attack. With that old thing, Immortal King Huyi, he would definitely not allow Zong Piao Tian to be first in all three rounds.
By the time the third round came around, he wouldn’t care, because immediately after the third round, he would enter the Questioning Pavilion. Inside the Questioning Pavilion, no one could interfere with anyone. He could leave whenever he wanted to. Inside the Questioning Pavilion, it would be normal to stay even for a few years.
Ye Mo’s divine sense blade swept out and he quickly swept up to Xu Ji. Xu Gui landed around the 30th place, in Zong Piao Tian apart from him, Xu Gui was considered to be the first person to walk.
However, at this time, Xu Ji was also trapped by an illusion formation. Ye Mo did not hesitate and directly slashed a divine sense blade at Xu Ji’s sea of awareness. At the same time, a few slashes of divine sense struck the heart of the illusion formation that was trapping him, and the illusion formation stalled for a short time.
Xu Gui, who was trapped, suddenly felt his sea of consciousness shake, the illusion formation in front of him stalled and a clear channel appeared in front of him. Xu Gui didn’t even think about it and immediately rushed out. In front of the second illusion formation, as he was once again plunged into his mind’s demon, Ye Mo pa*sed by with a few more swords of divine sense.
The pa*sage came to be not long, and with Ye Mo’s help one after another, Xu Gui, who was ranked over thirty, surpa*sed Guan Feijian in a short time and was the first to rush out of the pa*sage. Ye Mo did not follow Xu Gui out, nor did his divine sense continue to sweep out. Inside this magic treasure, there seemed to be no other divine sense other than his divine sense right now. Once his divine sense followed him out, who knew if he would be discovered.
Ye Mo waited for a little more time, and after Guan Feijian, Leng Qingshui and Qin Wujian had also gone out, he was the fifth to exit the pa*sage. The reason why he was fifth was because there was still a Heavenly Immortal quota for the fifth, so he could fight for one more for Zong Piao Tian.
It was also the attitude of the three immortal kings of Zong Piao Tian that made Ye Mo decide to help, if the three immortal kings had a bad attitude or even suspected him at first. Ye Mo would never have taken this fifth place. He wouldn’t even have participated in the second round of the competition.
At the end of the pa*sage, Ye Mo did see a stone tablet, Ye Mo reckoned that this was the Dao Question Tablet, as long as he left a mark on it. It was a dao mark. This stone stele was only one foot high, and it was only three feet wide, there was really nothing protruding from it. Ye Mo did not hesitate and directly left the word Mo Ying on the Dao Questioning Tablet.
When Ye Mo walked past the Questioning Tablet, he found that it was not on top of a square, but in a hall, which was empty inside.
Ye Mo had the experience of the divine sense blade splitting the pa*sage. He knew that although no one could be seen in this hall, there must be someone inside, or at least Xu Ji and the others were here. At this moment, he did not continue to use his divine sense blade to check, this was already the end of the competition. All he had to do was wait. If he used the Divine Sense Blade again at this time, he might really be exposed.
After Ye Mo waited inside the hall for almost an hour, his eyes suddenly lit up and the hall disappeared. Immediately, Ye Mo knew that the time was up. Immediately afterwards, he found himself standing in the middle of the square, while the inquiring gate had long since disappeared to
Beside him. The other hundred or so participants had all come out, a few of them still had palpitations on their faces, clearly not having recovered from the terrible heart demon.
Xu Ji saw Ye Mo and immediately walked over to greet him, “Brother Mo ……”
He felt that someone had helped him in the pa*sage inside the Question Monument, only he wasn’t sure, he immediately thought of Ye Mo and wanted to come and ask him.
Ye Mo smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, “Don’t talk too much, this is someone else’s turf.”
As soon as Xu Ji heard Ye Mo’s words, he knew that it was really Ye Mo who had helped him, and gratitude immediately appeared in his eyes. He didn’t know how Ye Mo had done it, yet he believed in him. As for Ye Mo patting him on the shoulder with his hand, he didn’t feel anything wrong even more.
“By the way, I suggest you give up on the third round and then recuperate your jīng spirit before you do so.” Ye Mo suddenly added another sentence.
Xu Ji was shaken, and he looked at Ye Mo in confusion. Although he didn’t know his ranking, he believed that he had definitely entered the third round because he had help, so why did Ye Mo tell him to give up? Wasn’t the second round just for the third round? If he gave up on the third round, then what was the second round to compete for?
Xu Ji frowned, he did not believe that Ye Mo would harm him. He felt that Ye Mo was a person worthy of being treated as a friend, but that statement from Ye Mo didn’t make any sense at all.
Before Xu Gui could ask Ye Mo the reason, the Purple Rain Fairy and a few others also came over to greet Ye Mo, and Ye Mo found that Mang Yong had actually taken the initiative to come over and greet him as well.
Ye Mo smiled and responded one by one, but in his heart, he looked down on that Mang Yong, this guy was a bit too tortoise. The first round he concealed the Seven Refining Stones, Ye Mo thought it was justifiable, after all, there is no one who does not like such things.
But this guy still hid his strength in the second round. Ye Mo used his divine sense to sweep through Mang Yong in the pa*sage of the second round. He found that if he had put forth his strength, he could have entered the top three. But this guy didn’t put in any effort at all and just landed around the fortieth place.
Since he didn’t want to enter the Questioning Pavilion, Ye Mo didn’t feel the need to come to the competition. Or it was fine to give up in the second round, so why waste a spot.
Mang Yong had always kept a low profile, not only did he not put in any effort in the competition, but he also didn’t speak much, Ye Mo didn’t understand why he took the initiative to come and talk to himself at this time. He had every strength to advance to the top three, so Ye Mo knew that he had not come to speak to him because of his admiration for him, not to mention that the results of the second round had not yet come out.
……
The second round had already ended, and in comparison, the second round was so much shorter than the first. Although the results were not yet out, the square was already abuzz with speculation as to who the top five finishers of the second round would be.
Immortal King Huyi had not been able to use his divine sense to sweep the competition after being secretly jǐnged by Immortal King Huangming, and now that the competition was over, the depression he had suppressed in his heart was finally released. He flew here and landed on the main altar and said, “The second round of the tournament has ended, the contestants will each retreat.”
After Ye Mo followed the crowd back to the edge of the previous circle of light, the middle of the square suddenly rumbled again. A stone monument, about one foot high and only three feet wide, abruptly appeared in the middle of the square amidst this rumbling sound. The previously empty gateway to the Dao of Enquiry disappeared and was replaced by this Dao of Enquiry monument.
After it came out, this Stele of Questioning grew rapidly, surpa*sing tens and hundreds of feet in height in the blink of an eye, and expanding to several feet in width.
Soon at the top of this Dao-asking Stele appeared four large golden letters, Dao-asking Trace Stele.
Seeing that the Questioning Dao Trace Stele had grown, Immortal King Huyi continued, “The Questioning Dao Trace Stele was refined by a supreme artefact-making master of my Middle Heaven Domain, and this stele was refined in imitation of the Dao Trace Stele. I hope that in the future you will all have the opportunity to come into contact with the real Dao Trace Stele, not the Questioning Dao Trace Stele that we are imitating here.”
Not only did Ye Mo wonder in his heart what that Dao Mark Stele was, but those in the square who didn’t understand were wondering where this Dao Mark Stele was and at what level they could get in touch with it.
Immortal King Huyi swept the crowd in the square and said, “As for where the Dao Mark Tablet is and how you can reach it, I can only tell you. When you reach a certain level of ability, you will automatically understand what the Dao Mark Tablet is. However, the one thing I have to remind you of is that at least no one in my Middle Eleventh Heavenly Domain is qualified to touch the Dao Mark Tablet at the moment ……”
As soon as Immortal King Huyi’s words were spoken, the square was abuzz with discussion, and even the second round ranking was forgotten. Not even a late Immortal King could touch the Dao Mark Tablet, could it be that the Dao Mark Tablet was only accessible to Immortal Dwellers or Immortal Emperors?
“Everyone be quiet, the top sixty-four in the second round will be coming out soon.” Immortal King He-yi said once again.
Hearing Immortal King He-yi’s words, everyone remembered that it was the end of the second round and immediately all focused their attention on the Questioning Dao Mark Tablet once again.
This time the rankings came out differently from the first round, instead the first place came out first. When the words ‘First place Xu Ji, Zong Piao Heavenly Domain’ appeared at the top of the Question Mark Tablet, the square once again exploded.
Not to mention the onlookers in the square, even the dozens of Immortal Kings looked at the first place winner Xu Ji, Zong Piao Heavenly Domain with astonishment and uncertainty. They couldn’t believe it at all, how could the first place in the second round be Zong Piao Tian again? And it was also a Xu Qi whom they had never heard of before. What the hell was going on here?
The three Immortal Kings of Zong Piao Heaven had had one experience and this time they reacted quickly and immediately looked at each other in surprise. They definitely did not expect that Zong Piao Tian would still come first this time. Even if they had thought that Zong Piao Tian might come first, they would not have thought that it would be Xu Gui, it would have been that Mo Ying.
Could it be that Zong Piaotian’s atmospheric luck had come? Or is it that Zong Piu Tian is going to be strong?
“Who is Xu Gui?” Not to mention the crowd in the square, even some Immortal Kings were inquiring about it. The Dao Enquiry Gate was a test of heart demons, and if one could get first place, then one’s cultivation would definitely not be bad.
“I have heard of this person, I heard that he is the ninth in the Zong Piao Heavenly Mystic Ranking.”
“That’s strange, the first place in the first round was Zong Piao Tian’s, that Mo Ying didn’t even have a place on the Xuan Ranking. How come the first place in the second round is Zong Piao Tian’s again? This time it was on the Xuan List, but it was ninth, could it be that Zong Piao Tian’s top few on the Xuan List are more powerful?”
“Then who are the top few of Zong Piao Tian? What are their names?”
……
“Absolutely not.” Guan Feijian squeezed his fist out of his mouth, he couldn’t imagine that the first place was not him.
He was clearly the first one to enter the questioning gate, how could he not be first cheating, absolutely cheating. Otherwise, how could a trash like Zong Piao Tian get two first places in a row? What was this if not cheating?
