Arriving at Tianxuan, Ye Xuan Charges the Tower!

The venue for the Sect Assembly was in Tianxuan City. Tianxuan City didn't belong to the Four Regions; instead, it was the first city on the edge of the Central Region.

All the sects from the Four Regions would participate in the triennial Sect Assembly, which would not only determine the top sects of each region but also see those top sects compete for rankings among themselves.

So, when the Violet Firmament Sect arrived in Tianxuan City after two days, it was already the last sect to arrive.

Along the way, Ye Xuan couldn't calm down to cultivate.

Because the closer he got to Tianxuan City, the more panicked he felt.

Wan'er must have had an accident!

Once the Violet Firmament Sect cultivators arrived in Tianxuan City, they headed straight for the Hundred Refinements Tower.

On the way, Ye Xuan learned about the so-called Hundred Refinements Tower from Su Ziyun.

This tower was established by the Great Qian Imperial Dynasty and consisted of five towers, each with different numbers of floors and levels of difficulty.

The one with the most floors and the highest difficulty was located in the Imperial Academy of the Imperial Capital, with a total of one hundred floors.

The next three, with sixty-six floors, were located in the three major academies of the Central Region.

And the last one, with nine floors, was located in Tianxuan City.

It could be said that the one in Tianxuan City was just a castrated version of the Hundred Refinements Tower. The ranking competition was divided by the Four Regions, and because the difficulty wasn't high, there were cultivators from the Four Regions who cleared it every year. The key to competition became the length of time it took to clear it.

The fastest completion record in the Four Regions was held by Ji Fengliu, the first Holy Son of the Lin Tian Sword Sect.

And the previous fastest completion record in the Northern Region was created by Chu Wan'er three years ago.

However, this time, Chu Wan'er was challenging the Purgatory Difficulty of the Tianxuan Hundred Refinements Tower. This difficulty didn't exist originally; it was suddenly added three years ago by a mysterious figure from the Cloud Citadel Academy. The rewards were extremely generous, and the one who cleared it could even get a Heavenly Thunder Seed!

That was an extremely rare, top-tier Heaven-Rank treasure.

Ye Xuan knew that Chu Wan'er was challenging the Purgatory Difficulty for that Heavenly Thunder Seed!

However, since its establishment, no one had ever truly cleared this Purgatory Difficulty. There had even been Holy Sons and Saintesses of sects who had perished within it!

Although Ye Xuan didn't know what the Purgatory Difficulty was like, Chu Wan'er must have had an accident since she hadn't come out for so long.

At this moment, many people had already gathered at the foot of the Hundred Refinements Tower.

Among the Northern Region cultivators, the most eye-catching were Xiao Chengfeng and Liu Yunxi, who stood at the front, like stars surrounding the moon!

The Azure Mist Sect had arrived half a day earlier than the Violet Firmament Sect.

After entering the city, they learned that the Holy Sons of the top sects in the Western and Southern Regions had already challenged the Hundred Refinements Tower, and had even broken the best records of both regions.

And since the Northern Region's previous record was still held by the Violet Firmament Sect, Xiao Chengfeng, as the first genius of this generation in the Northern Region to advance to the Heavenly Gang Realm, naturally couldn't stand it. So, he had come to the Hundred Refinements Tower early to take the first place in the Northern Region.

After all, he was going to challenge the Violet Firmament Sect tomorrow to make the Azure Mist Sect the top sect in the Northern Region. It wouldn't be right if the record of the Hundred Refinements Tower was still held by the Violet Firmament Sect.

Outside the Hundred Refinements Tower, there was a stone tablet with formations glowing on it, displaying the best results of the Four Regions.

Even though the records of the Southern and Western Regions had been broken yesterday, they still hadn't surpassed the record held by Ji Fengliu, the number one monster in the Eastern Region, one year ago—one hour!

Although the records of the Southern and Western Regions were also just over an hour and fifteen minutes, the gap still existed.

Now, Ji Fengliu of the Eastern Region had been inside for less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, so many people were waiting for the new record of this number one monster in the Four Regions.

Xiao Chengfeng didn't want to become a stepping stone, so he was also waiting.

But when Xiao Chengfeng looked in the direction of the Southern and Western Region sect disciples, he found that several Holy Sons and Saintesses didn't even look at him directly.

After all, the Azure Mist Sect was only a second-rate sect in name.

This made Xiao Chengfeng feel ashamed and indignant.

"Wait a while, and I'll let you know who I, Xiao Chengfeng, am!"

"Brother Chengfeng, you've been preparing for this day for three years. I believe you can do it!" Liu Yunxi encouraged, holding Xiao Chengfeng's arm.

She had secretly gone to that valley several times, trying to wait for Xuan Ye to come out, but unfortunately, even the entrance to the secret realm had disappeared. In the end, she could only give up temporarily.

Because of this, she had been depressed for a long time. After all, if she could climb the high branch of the Xuan Clan, it would be much better than marrying Xiao Chengfeng. She definitely wouldn't even be able to get a Heavenly Gang Pill.

But the Xuan Clan's connection had been cut off, so she could only continue to please Xiao Chengfeng.

"Don't worry, Yunxi. Your husband won't let you down. Even if I can't compare to that Ji Fengliu, I'll try my best to get second place!" Xiao Chengfeng said proudly.

"Yes, waiting for the time it takes to burn an incense stick should be about right," Liu Yunxi nodded.

If she could advance to the Heavenly Gang Realm in advance, she would definitely try this Hundred Refinements Tower too.

It was a pity that although her talent was infinitely close to the Spiritual Body level, there was still no sign of the Heavenly Gang Tribulation descending.

Buzz!

Before Liu Yunxi's voice could fade, the Hundred Refinements Tower suddenly trembled violently.

Immediately afterward, a figure walked out of it.

He wore a blue shirt, his sword-like eyebrows reached his temples, his eyes were like bright stars, and his black hair fluttered in the wind. Just standing there, his outstanding temperament was enough to make many young female cultivators present lose their minds.

Liu Yunxi was even momentarily dazed before she came back to her senses.

Ji Fengliu had undergone tribulation and advanced to the Heavenly Gang Realm a year ago. Although his family, the Ji Clan, wasn't a large clan in the Central Region, it was definitely considered a wealthy family.

His awakened Wind Tide Spiritual Body was even a superior Spiritual Body, and his talent was the best in the Four Regions.

She just didn't have a way to get close, so she could only watch.

"That's not right, why hasn't the leaderboard updated?"

But at this moment, a voice of doubt suddenly arose from the crowd.

Everyone heard this and looked over, and sure enough, they found that although the first place on the Hundred Refinements Stone Tablet was still the Eastern Region, the score had not changed at all from before.

Could it be that Ji Fengliu, in the mid-Heavenly Gang Realm, is not as strong as he was a year ago!?

"Fengliu..."

At this moment, the City Lord of the Eastern Region and the Sect Leader of the Lin Tian Sword Sect frowned and stepped forward.

Ji Fengliu is the face of the Eastern Region, and his achievements are related to the glory of the Eastern Region.

"I failed."

But Ji Fengliu shook his head, a wry smile on his lips, and said, "I only reached the seventh floor."

"It doesn't matter, no one has ever reached the seventh floor of Purgatory Difficulty in the past three years!"

"Fengliu is still the number one in the four regions!" Although the Sect Leader of the Lin Tian Sword Sect was also disappointed, he still comforted him.

Hiss!

But at this moment, the crowd under the Hundred Refinements Tower couldn't help but gasp when they heard this.

No wonder the leaderboard score hadn't been updated, it turned out that Ji Fengliu was challenging the Purgatory Difficulty!

That's the Purgatory Difficulty that has terrified countless geniuses in the past three years!

No one had even stepped into the last five floors before, and Ji Fengliu had rushed to the seventh floor in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, which was already terrifying enough.

In this way, the Holy Sons and Saintesses of the various sects suddenly realized.

It's not that Ji Fengliu is not good enough, but that he didn't challenge the normal difficulty at all, they weren't even on the same track!

"Fengliu, do you want to refresh the score for the normal difficulty?" At this time, the City Lord of the Eastern Region asked with a frown.

"No need."

But Ji Fengliu directly shook his head and refused. He stepped down the stairs and walked out of the crowd without looking sideways.

"Apart from that Purgatory Difficulty, other scores are meaningless."

"I was the top of the list a year ago, and today, I still am!"

His voice was indifferent, but it was full of unparalleled confidence!

By the time everyone came back to their senses, Ji Fengliu had already disappeared from their sight.

"Giving up challenging the normal difficulty, what confidence does Holy Son Ji have!"

"That's right, the Holy Sons of the Southern and Western Regions have already challenged it, and they really can't surpass it!"

"Even with the geniuses of the four regions gathered, it's still difficult to reach his level!"

Everyone sighed, this Ji Fengliu is indeed arrogant, but he also has the capital to be arrogant, he is just too strong!

In this way, the Holy Sons of the Cloud-Leaving Monastery and Ba Yue Mountain couldn't help but blush.

They clearly hadn't competed, but they were still humiliated invisibly!?

What's going on?

"Hehe, it seems my chance has come!"

But Xiao Chengfeng suddenly became excited at this moment.

The Holy Sons of the Cloud-Leaving Monastery and Ba Yue Mountain have already finished their challenges, and Ji Fengliu has given up, so now, isn't it his turn to make a move?

If he can clear the level in less than an hour, then he can even compete for the first place in the four regions!

At that time, before the Sect Assembly, he will be able to become famous in Tianxuan City!

Thinking of this, Xiao Chengfeng didn't want to wait any longer, he shook off Liu Yunxi's arm and headed towards the Hundred Refinements Tower.

Today, he will be the ultimate winner!

Buzz!

But at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out of the crowd, surpassing Xiao Chengfeng, and went straight to the Hundred Refinements Tower.

Huh!?

Xiao Chengfeng was stunned.

Liu Yunxi frowned, but when she focused her eyes, she suddenly discovered that the one rushing towards the Hundred Refinements Tower was actually Ye Xuan!?

Does he even deserve to rush to the Hundred Refinements Tower!?
