The next day!
An immortal crane soared through swirling clouds and mist, radiant rosy light spreading around it as it unfurled its wings.
A five-year-old child could just be seen atop the crane, dressed in white. His body gleamed like translucent jade, wisps of chaos energy circling him like a tiny god.
"Crane, crane, sorry for the trouble! Please take me to the Heavenly Dragon Tower."
Ye Tian lay on the crane's back, stroking it with his chubby little hand to express his thanks.
The crane called twice in response.
This kid really was something. It had been flying carefree through the Ye Family grounds, absorbing the splendor of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon, when he suddenly caught it and pinned it beneath him.
He had asked it to give him a ride. What could it do but take him along?
And now he was thanking it with such righteous solemnity.
For a stunt like that, it had only one word: Smooth.
The thing was, it was nowhere near as ordinary as it looked. It was a Fierce Beast at the Spirit Opening realm, yet he had pinned it down so thoroughly that it could not move and could only submit.
Before long, they arrived at a floating Divine Island. A divine tower stood at its center, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. Its tip shone with boundless golden light, and beneath it stood five stories.
It rose tall and proud, having stood here for untold ages.
Though it appeared to have five stories, it actually contained a space of its own.
The moment someone stepped into the Heavenly Dragon Tower, they would enter a trial matching their cultivation realm.
If they cleared it, they would naturally advance to the next trial.
