Chapter 899
Paving the Way
"They are paving the way for that restoration!"
The head of the Qian department gritted his teeth, and these words seemed to be forced out.
Upon hearing this, everyone trembled. If that were true, then the first nine hundred levels would be a piece of cake for Feng Xiu. In fact, Feng Xiu would even receive the luck of these four hundred people, making it easy for him to reach the nine hundredth level or higher.
“No wonder, no wonder.” Zhuge Boqi’s eyes were somewhat fierce as he slowly looked at Sima Jiba, who seemed to have everything under control.
"Old Monster Sima, this layout is truly excellent."
Seeing that Zhuge Boqi's expression was not very good, Sima Jiba immediately burst into laughter.
"Haha, Brother Zhuge, you can't say that. After all, it's also a strategy."
"Heh." Zhuge Boqi sneered, then continued, "And then what? After climbing nine hundred floors, what else do you want to do?"
"Haha, Brother Zhuge, there's no need to guess wildly. Just keep watching, and you'll naturally find out."
Sima Jiba had become increasingly arrogant, and everything was now under his control.
Li Qingyue looked at the Eight Immortal Towers with a face full of worry, praying in her heart that Lin Xuan could stop the Feng Xiu.
For some reason, Li Qingyue could only think of Lin Xuan at this moment.
Li Hongyi's gaze involuntarily followed Lin Xuan's movements.
At this moment, Lin Xuan had reached the 800th floor of the Eight Immortal Towers, while Feng Xiu of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace had reached the 880th floor, second only to Lin Yuan on the 899th floor.
Ling Jin was somewhat surprised to see Lin Xuan walk up to the 800th floor. He glanced at Lin Xuan briefly, but did not take him seriously.
Although the 800th floor possessed the appearance of an immortal emperor, it was not enough to make the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace pay too much attention to it.
"Looks like you guys are playing pretty dirty games."
As Lin Xuan walked along, after reaching the 500th floor, between the 500th and 700th floors, there were one or two geniuses from the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace meditating on almost every floor. They didn't continue to go up, but just waited.
Between the 700th and 800th floors, there were a total of 18 people. These 18 people were separated and remained seated in meditation, waiting.
Lin Xuan had already figured it out: all these people were serving only one person, who was naturally Feng Xiu from the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace.
The first 500 floors of the Eight Immortal Tower posed no obstacle to Feng Xiu. After reaching the 500th floor, disciples of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace immediately built a bridge for him. It could be said that Feng Xiu could ascend the 800th floor as easily as taking a stroll.
Ling Jin just sneered when he heard Lin Xuan's words.
"Heh, the reason your Eight Immortal Palaces can slightly surpass our Nine Heavens Immortal Palace is because of these Eight Immortal Towers. Without these Eight Immortal Towers, what are your Eight Immortal Towers worth?!"
Ling Jin's tone was utterly impolite and showed no respect whatsoever for the Eight Immortal Palaces.
Lin Xuan remained noncommittal, but in his heart he somewhat agreed with Ling Jin's words.
If the Eight Immortal Palaces didn't have the Eight Immortal Pagodas protecting them, they would probably have been dethroned by the Nine Heavens long ago.
The Nine Heavens Immortal Palace had always been subordinate to others, and naturally, it was unwilling to accept this.
"The victor is king, the loser is villain. The Eight Immortal Palaces have eight Immortal Towers to guard their destiny. This is the business of the Eight Immortal Palaces."
"Haha, is that so? I hope your Eight Immortal Palaces can always possess the Eight Immortal Towers!!"
Ling Jin laughed a few times and said something that left everyone scratching their heads.
Lin Xuan became somewhat wary. Ling Jin's words didn't seem like mere gossip; rather, they sounded like he was speaking his mind.
"Kid, keep going up. I can already sense two people trying to reach the 900th floor."
Ao Cang didn't even bother to look at Ling Jin, and immediately spoke to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan nodded slightly, no longer looking at Ling Jin, and continued walking upwards. At this moment, on the 899th floor, Lin Yuan stood at the critical point of the 900th floor, just one step away from reaching it.
If you succeed in this step, you will become a candidate for the young master of the Eight Immortal Palaces.
Lin Yuan's eyes were resolute. He suddenly stepped onto the nine hundredth step, and an extremely violent force of luck pressed down on him. Lin Yuan felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making it impossible for him to move an inch.
"Break!"
Lin Yuan let out a low roar, and streams of luck power erupted from his body, forcefully resisting the suppressive force of luck from the nine hundredth floor. This force allowed Lin Yuan's body to move briefly.
Lin Yuan suddenly charged forward and actually stood on the nine hundredth step.
"Senior Brother Lin Yuan is awesome!"
"Senior Brother Lin Yuan, display the divine might of our Eight Immortal Palaces!"
"Senior Brother Lin Yuan, you have enhanced the prestige of our Eight Immortal Palaces!"
The disciples of the Eight Immortal Palaces were all extremely excited as they looked at the Eight Immortal Towers, shouting and yelling.
Lin Yuan stood on the 800th floor, while Feng Xiu was now standing on the 899th floor, just one step away from Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan turned around and looked at Feng Xiu standing right behind him, his brows furrowed. He hadn't expected Feng Xiu to be able to catch up so quickly, even faster than him!
Feng Xiu looked at Lin Yuan with amusement.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that the Eight Immortal Palaces would produce someone like you this time. You actually managed to reach the nine hundredth floor by yourself. Impressive, impressive. It's just a pity that the nine hundredth floor that you had to go through so much to reach is just a territory that I can tread on at will."
As soon as Feng Xiu finished speaking, he stepped onto the nine hundredth floor of the Eight Immortal Tower without any effort, and stood side by side with Lin Yuan.
At this moment, all the disciples in the Eight Immortal Palaces fell silent. The entire palace was as still as death, and everyone stared at this scene in disbelief.
For the cultivators of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, ascending to the 900th floor was as easy as drinking water; this was truly unbelievable.
Zhuge Boqi's expression grew increasingly grim. As an old monster who had lived for millions of years, Zhuge Boqi naturally understood what the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace was up to, but he didn't understand what purpose the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace had in doing so.
"Hahaha, Lin Yuan, right? Although you can be considered a genius, you are still too bad in my eyes."
As soon as Feng Xiu finished speaking, he immediately stepped onto the 901st floor.
Lin Yuan stared intently at Feng Xiu's back, his eyes filled with resentment, and could only do his best to continue climbing.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and Lin Yuan struggled to reach the 904th floor, while Feng Xiu was already standing on the 929th floor. The gap between the two was widening.
Lin Xuan was now standing on the 899th floor. Looking up, he could see two figures from behind.
"The cultivators of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace certainly ran away quickly."
Lin Xuan looked at Feng Xiu's retreating figure with amusement.
"Lin Xuan, I have a feeling that kid is acting strangely, like he's planning something?"
Ao Cang immediately transmitted his thoughts to Lin Xuan, expressing his unease.
"Don't even mention you, I can sense that something's wrong. The Nine Heavens Immortal Palace went to such lengths just for this sealing of cultivation, and now nearly five hundred other disciples have just handed over everything they've gained? Heh, I don't believe it."
Lin Xuan sneered.
In the world of cultivation, most people are selfish. How could there be so many selfless individuals within the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace?
Since these people are doing this, they must be doing it for some benefit. Lin Xuan simply doesn't believe they would do it without any benefit.
"Look! What is Feng Xiu trying to do?!" (End of Chapter)
