Mortal Bones

Just as Xu Taiping finished speaking, Guangyuanzi's voice came out from the spirit mirror again-

"Young man, since Jiuyuan took control of Xuanhuang Tower, no one has climbed to the twelfth floor of Xuanhuang Tower. What can you guarantee?"

Under this seemingly peaceful tone, there is a sense of anger.

Obviously, if Xu Taiping can't give Guangyuanzi a satisfactory answer, he may really get angry.

"If you really anger the Bajing Palace, I guess you and I may not be able to enter the Xuanhuang Tower."

Mu Yun, who noticed the anger in Guangyuanzi's words, looked at Xu Taiping in the spirit mirror and muttered to himself.

"The Bajing Palace has such a strong influence in the Shangqing cultivation world? Why didn't I feel it before?"

Ji Ye looked at Mu Yun in surprise.

"With your and my cultivation and status, how can we get in touch with these hidden sects? Only the old man and others have the opportunity to contact them."

Mu Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He also didn't know much about hidden sects like the Bajing Palace, but just by listening to the tone of his grandfather's words just now, it was enough to see that these sects were wary of those hidden sects.

After a short silence, Xu Taiping spoke again:

"Senior, the reason why we haven't been able to climb the twelfth floor of the Xuanhuang Tower for so many years is that we fell into the trap set by Jiuyuan in advance."

At this point, Xu Taiping took out a piece of Moon Shadow Stone from his arms and injected true essence into it.

Immediately, above the Moon Shadow Stone, a scene appeared in which he and Gu Qingcheng talked about Jiuyuan's plan to reverse the time of the Xuanhuang Tower.

After listening to the two people's discussion, everyone, including Mu Yun in front of the spirit mirror, was in an uproar.

They didn't expect that Xu Taiping would experience this twist when he climbed the eighth floor of the Xuanhuang Tower.

Even more unexpectedly, so many cultivators entered the Xuanhuang Tower one after another, not because of the training mission of Emperor Xuanhuang, but because of Jiuyuan's conspiracy.

"Xu Taiping, words are not enough, show me your evidence."

At this time, a young man suddenly asked in the spirit mirror.

Mu Yun looked at the name and found that it was Huang Jinpeng, who had questioned Xu Taiping before, so he said with surprise:

"What is the origin of Huang Jinpeng? I remember that he asked in the spirit mirror once, and at least 100,000 gold coins. He can't squander it without a family background."

"I'll ask someone to check it later." Mu Yuchen on the side was also very curious about this person's identity.

While the three were talking, Xu Taiping in the spirit mirror seemed to have been prepared for a long time. He took out another moon shadow stone and said, "I think you have seen the competition between me and Ge Shumiao. In this moon shadow stone, there is a complete scene of our fight with him, and the process of successfully passing the eighth floor."

Immediately, the moon shadow stone in his hand began to show the scene of them coming out of the Black Mountain, defeating Ge Shumiao, and then climbing to the eighth floor to meet Xuanyuan Xueluo and get the pass token.

After watching the whole process, everyone finally understood why Xu Taiping would rather take such a big risk to destroy one of Ge Shumu's clones.

"If Ge Shumu's clone had not been destroyed by Xu Taiping, with his strength at his peak, the Ningyuan Kingdom would have been completely wiped out. At that time, even if the Xuanhuang Tower did not reverse time, no cultivator would be able to pass the eighth floor."

Mu Yun murmured, rubbing the cold sweat on his forehead.

After watching Xu Taiping climb up to the eighth floor step by step from the sixth floor, he finally experienced the danger of a life-and-death struggle.

"If there is any mistake, let alone the eighth floor, Brother Taiping and the others may not even be able to reach the seventh floor."

Ji Ye also said with emotion at this time.

"The road to the top of the Xuanhuang Tower has been paved for you, don't you have even this little courage?"

At this time, Xu Taiping in the spirit mirror suddenly held the Broken Water Knife in both hands and looked at the people in front of the spirit mirror with a smile.

Hearing this, the enthusiasm of the cultivators including Ji Ye and Mu Yun for climbing the tower, which had been diluted by Guang Yuanzi's words just now, was rekindled.

Any cultivator with some blood in his blood would be overwhelmed after seeing Xu Taiping's experience in the Xuanhuang Tower.

After all, for most cultivators in this world, immortality is just the end of cultivation, and constantly pursuing the extreme realm and climbing the peak is the motivation for their cultivation.

"Junior, I admit that you can climb all the way to the ninth floor of the Xuanhuang Tower. You have done a good job and have not humiliated the title of the leader of the Golden Scale."

At this time, Guang Yuanzi's voice sounded again in the spirit mirror.

Hearing this, Ji Ye smiled and said:

"Senior Guang Yuanzi, it seems that you are not going to give up yet."

"Xu Taiping's words are not false. Now is indeed the best time to climb the tower. Bajing Palace can't suppress it anymore."

Mu Yun shook his head and felt that the general situation was set. Next, there must be many young cultivators below the transformation realm who will follow Xu Taiping into the Xuanhuang Tower.

"Yes, the Xuanhuang Tower itself is a huge treasure house for cultivators. The fact that it can improve the divine essence is tempting enough."

Mu Yuchen also nodded at this time.

Not to mention Mu Yun and Ji Ye, now that there is such a good opportunity, she also wants to enter the tower to improve her divine essence.

So if the Bajing Palace continues to suppress everyone, it is very likely to cause public anger.

However, Guang Yuanzi's next words, and the scene that suddenly appeared in the spirit mirror, made Mu Yun and others feel shocked——

“But youngsters, you didn’t tell them that what awaits them on the ninth floor of Xuanhuang Tower is a horde of ghosts that even a powerful person in the Transformation Realm may not be able to deal with.”
