While Di Jiu was setting up the protective formation outside the Heavenly Fetching Half River, the Dao Asking Tower outside the Sacred City of the Ten Thousand Clans had already become famous.
This was because this Dao-asking Tower was a true Dao-asking magic treasure, not just a tool for competition. Cultivators who went in could not only ask their hearts, but also their own Dao, and even feel their own Dao deficiencies in this Dao asking tower, so as to perfect their Dao and go further.
Many cultivators forget to continue climbing as a result, and end up staying on the ground floor for too long and are directly teleported out, resulting in too low a score.
Those cultivators who were accidentally teleported out would naturally not stop there, and they turned to the Dao Enquiry Tower once more, wanting to enter once more. However, no matter how strong they were, as long as they had entered once or as long as their cultivation level exceeded the third step, they would be blocked from entering the Dao Questioning Tower.
Genius cultivators from some of the smaller clans began to come to the fore, and many of the smaller clans who had never entered the Heaven Taking Gate were trembling with excitement at the moment.
At the same time, the news of the Dao Asking Tower’s selection to enter the Heaven Taking Gate had spread to almost every corner where there were cultivators.
Many cultivators who could not make it were almost mad with regret, and those who could make it were desperate to vanish to the Sacred City of the Ten Thousand Clans. If they missed this opportunity, they would regret it for the rest of their lives. Who hadn’t heard of the Heavenly Fetching Gate? To ordinary cultivators of small clans, or even to marginal cultivators of large clans, it was only a legend. Now, as long as one has the strength, there is a good chance that this legend will fall on one’s shoulders, so can one not be excited?
Millions of cultivators concentrated in the Sacred City of Ten Thousand Clans was already considered a lot. Just because of Di Jiu’s selection methods, in just three days, tens of millions of cultivators had flocked to the Sacred City of the Ten Thousand Clans, seeking just one of these 800 or so spots.
Almost all the third-step cultivators and even second-steps in the Qihuang Human Realm had even come to the Sacred City of the Ten Thousand Clans to climb the Dao Asking Tower.
Three days pa*sed quickly, all the cultivators in the Dao Questioning Tower were transported out, and the number of spots on the huge array display outside the Dao Questioning Tower was fixed.
Among the cultivators who had obtained the first eight hundred and thirty places, the God Clan was ranked first, with nearly a hundred in total. Apart from the God Clan, the Red Lin Clan, the Cloud Clan, the Blood Clan and other such great clans were all at the top of the list.
The Human Race received thirty-one places, and although the places they received looked okay, they were not good enough in terms of ranking, basically between eight hundred and four hundred places.
The Human race was able to get so many places, and that was because the Human cultivators who came over from the Qihuang Human Realm were almost always the main battle force. The human race did not have many fourth-steps, and once they met a powerful existence, they could only use the lives of third-step cultivators to pile up. In the long run, this led to many third-step cultivators becoming powerful.
The entire Sacred City of the Ten Thousand Clans was still rejoicing, and more minor clans than the human clan, who almost never had a chance to show their faces, had all been given a place or two this time.
Don’t look at the small number of places, for those small clans, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as there was one strong person up, the race would have a chance to stand and at least survive in this side of the universe.
“Because the Heaven Taking Gate is about to open, cultivators who would have received their entry jade tokens at the Human Race Corner should move directly beyond the Heaven Taking Half River. The top eight hundred and thirty geniuses in the Array Screen rankings can all go and collect your own Heaven Taking Gate entry jade token. Please remember that all jade tokens for entering the Heaven Taking Gate are not to be led, nor are they to be resold. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences.” After the Questioning Tower was closed, Haiyi was the first to land on the fighting platform and said loudly.
According to Di Jiu’s original idea, in order to enhance the prestige of the Human Race, all these cultivators who had obtained places at the Dao Asking Tower had to go to the Human Race Corner to receive their jade tokens. After Di Jiu had set up the protective formation outside the Heaven Taking Gate, he directly changed his mind.
Now that he was here, the crowd went to the Humanity Corner to collect the jade token, which indeed enhanced the prestige of the Humanity. Once he left here, this act was adding pressure to the Human Race.
After hearing Haiyi’s words, both those who had gained a ranking and those who had not, all swarmed towards the Heavenly Fetching Half River.
According to the time, the Heaven Taking Gate was also about to open.
……
The Heaven Taking Half River had long since been out of sight, replaced by a huge square with a double fish shaped disc at the end of it, on which Dao rhythms flowed, precisely the entrance that Di Jiu had set up not long ago.
Some of those who came later, especially the cultivators from the small, remote clans, were a little apprehensive, even though they had won the ranking. They had obtained a ranking, but there was no more information other than a name and which race they came from on the big formation display in front of the Daoist Question Tower.
Also the name on that formation display disappeared quickly, which meant that if the powerful person in control of the place said your place did not exist, then you had to resign yourself to your fate.
Lian Yanhao was one such being, and he finished in the three hundred and twenty-first place in this selection for the Daoist Questioning Tower.
To be honest, this ranking was considered high, and as someone from such an insignificant little clan as the Qisheng Clan, it would have been a pleasant surprise, not to mention the three hundred and twenty-first place, even if he had obtained the eight hundredth place.
After hearing Haiyi’s words, he almost immediately wanted to rush towards the Heaven Taking Half River. However, he had just rushed out of the square outside the Sacred City of the Ten Thousand Clans when he was stopped by two people. Both of their faces were pitch black, looking as if they were poured out of the same mould. But Lian Yanhao still sensed that one of them should be a fourth step.
“Your name is Lian Yanhao?” The one who spoke was the black-faced cultivator of the fourth step.
Lian Yan Hao gave a grateful fist, “It is Lian Yan Hao, meet the two fellow Daoists.”
The cultivator who spoke nodded, “You are from the Qisheng Clan, right? Both of my brothers are from the Cold Moon Clan.”
Hearing the Cold Moon Clan, Lian Yan Hao’s back even chilled. Compared to the Cold Moon Clan, the Qisheng Clan was a race that couldn’t be any smaller. Although the number one powerhouse of the Cold Moon Clan, Deacon Zuoling, was at the early stage of the Queensaint Clan, his relationship with the ancestor of the Red Lin Clan was also very small. If they offended a great clan like the Cold Moon Clan, the Qisheng Clan could only wait for their clan to be exterminated.
“I wish to borrow your place for a while, of course, we will not treat you badly. If you don’t want to, just forget I said anything. By the way, my name is Lu Zhen, and next to me is my brother, Lu Fei.” Lu Zhen’s tone was plain, as if they didn’t care if Lian Yanhao really didn’t lend.
However, Lian Yanhao felt an icy cold aura of killing intent, and he was sure that if he didn’t borrow it, even if nothing happened to him now, the Qisheng clan would be finished in the future. The purpose of his coming here was not to bring about the end of the Qisheng clan, but to make the environment of the Qisheng clan a little better. Besides, he was sure that if he didn’t borrow it, he would still have something to do now.
“Senior, it’s not that I’m not borrowing it. Senior Haiyi has said that the quota cannot be borrowed, everyone must go there personally and ……”
Not waiting for Lian Yanhao to finish his words, Lu Zhen waved his hand and interrupted Lian Yanhao’s words, “As long as you are willing to borrow it, then just draw your essence blood out with the Dao brand and then infiltrate a trace of your soul into it, you don’t have to care about anything else. Oh, it’s not like you don’t care either, you have to go over with us as well. In case anything goes wrong, you’ll come forward and explain that you took the initiative to hand it over to my brother.”
In Lu Zhen’s opinion, he was at least a fourth-step Rising Word Saint. He couldn’t set up Di Jiu’s Questioning Tower, but he knew all too well the little tricks to enter it. The most that could be done was just memory essence blood and dao branding, or at most the infiltration of soul aura.
As long as his brother had obtained the Dao brand of Lian Yan Hao’s infiltrated soul and blood, then there was more than 80% chance that he could muddle through. More than 80% chance to try. Besides, if they failed, they could say that Lian Yanhao had given it of his own accord and they would give it up again.
Lian Yanhao’s face went pale, this was not only taking his place, but also damaging his foundation.
But could he not say no? The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you want to do.
……
A hundred million miles away from the Heaven Taking Gate, a pale faced man who looked like a piece of paper stopped cultivating and he looked up in the direction of the Heaven Taking Gate. A full ten breaths of time pa*sed before he slowly said, “The Heaven Taking Gate is open, it should be time this time. I don’t know if those old guys will also go over, I don’t think they will give up this opportunity to cross over to the sage level ……”
Speaking here, he paused his words, and once again a long time pa*sed before he sighed again, “The seventh step, the saint ah ……”
