I Laid My Cards on the Table! Qizhenzi Was a True Immortal!

Beyond the starry sky.

Changshan Tower.

Within the ruins.

Chen Jichuan was no longer inside the tower.

Months earlier, he had attained the Dao upon clearing the twenty-second floor. He had stopped there rather than climbing any higher.

Since leaving the tower, he had remained beneath it, refusing to leave the ruins.

Until this day.

Chen Jichuan, seated beneath the tower, suddenly opened his eyes. He rose and strode out.

"Qizhenzi!"

The Kuye Devil Lord appeared before him the moment he emerged, eyes blazing like torches. "You cleared the twenty-second floor. Why did you wait four months to come out?"

Only he knew how anxiously he had waited those four months.

He had watched Chen Jichuan climb the tower, clearing floor after floor in one sweep until he reached the twenty-second. He had even seen him leave the tower—yet he never emerged from the ruins.

Waiting four months like that had been sheer torment.

Now that Chen Jichuan had finally appeared, the Kuye Devil Lord could not help demanding an answer.

"Easy, Devil Lord."

Chen Jichuan smiled at him. "By a stroke of luck, I obtained two volumes of divine abilities in Changshan Tower. One is called Nine-Yin Ice Soul; the other, Heavenly Demon Poison-Gathering Banner."

As he spoke,

he recited portions of the two abilities' core principles.

He had obtained Nine-Yin Ice Soul on the fourteenth floor.

Heavenly Demon Poison-Gathering Banner had been his reward for clearing the nineteenth.

Both were genuine divine abilities. He was not trying to fool anyone.

"Two volumes of divine abilities!"

"Heavenly Demon Poison-Gathering Banner?!"

The Kuye Devil Lord's eyes narrowed at once.

Divine abilities were exceedingly precious. Even if Nine-Yin Ice Soul did not suit him, he could someday trade it to another True Immortal for treasures or divine abilities.

But that was
