All five people in the formation stared intently in that direction.

The ranking from top to bottom is as follows:

Gu Yuanqing, Twenty-Two

Two Kuang Tongyi Sixteen

Fan Hongqing, 15

"Has anyone already cleared the twenty-second level of the Heavenly Ladder in this Floating World?"

Upon seeing the person at the top of the list, the five people in the formation were slightly surprised. The twenty-second level of the Heavenly Ladder meant that this person's cultivation had reached the Divine Platform Seventh Level. However, upon seeing the people below him, they were relieved. This was the normal situation in a Floating World.

As the Spirit Vein burned out and the Array Formation dissipated, the illusory images of the Heaven and Earth Stele and the Heaven Ladder Rankings both disappeared into the Void.

The other four illusory Divine Soul appeared atop White Phoenix Mountain using the power of the Slanting Moon Token.

Two of them had cold expressions.

"Patriarch Bai Clan, is this what you wanted to see by insisting on activating the Formless Grand Formation? What was the result? There are only two Divine Platform Cultivator in this Floating World, and only seventeen Dao Fire Cultivator. Your Bai Clan is rich and powerful and doesn't care, but my Chen Family can't afford to play with you." Chen Zongyao snorted.

"Sigh, four High-grade Spirit Vein, what a waste." Tong Nanyang shook his head and sighed.

Bai Changbi ignored the two men. One was a notorious miser, and the other was extremely lazy. Both were short-sighted and, despite their high cultivation levels, their nature remained unchanged. If it weren't for the fact that the two of the Five Directions Slanting Moon Token controlled these two men, he wouldn't even bother associating with them.

He looked at the Black-Robed Elder and asked, "Brother Wang, what do you think?"

The Black-Robed Elder said calmly, "Nothing to worry about."

Upon hearing this, Bai Changbi's heart sank slightly, and he said, "Brother Wang, this world's Heavenly Stele has only been down for ten years, yet there are already cultivators at the seventh level of the Divine Platform. Shouldn't we take this seriously?"

The white-haired old woman, Ji Yuhuan, said, "That's right. This person has already reached the Divine Platform Seventh Level. There are still ninety years before the World Conflict. By then, his cultivation will probably have reached the Divine Platform Peak, or even break through to the Void Heaven. He will surely become a great threat."

Chen Zongyao sneered, "Ji Yuhuan, this is a bit alarmist. If the Void Heaven Realm were so easy to achieve, you wouldn't have been stuck at the Divine Platform Peak for three hundred years."

Within the Floating World, lacking Cultivation Method, spiritual Spiritual Qi, and a guide, even with the aid of the Heavenly Ladder, achieving the Void Heaven is simply a pipe dream.

I think you're getting more and more timid as you get older; you're terrified just seeing a Divine Platform Seventh Level.

Besides, in this Floating World, only Gu Yuanqing is worth a look; the rest are ants. Even if he alone has achieved the Void Heaven Realm, so what? Does my Slanting Moon World not have any like him?"

After a long silence, Chen Zongyao immediately turned his gaze to Tong Nanyang, who was yawning.

Huh? Why are you, a Divine Soul, yawning?

Tong Nanyang paused, seemingly only then remembering what Chen Zongyao had said, and nodded, saying, "Patriarch Chen Family is right!"

Bai Changbi coldly said, "Your Excellencies are mistaken. In the face of the World Conflict, no amount of caution is excessive. Knowing that the other side already has Cultivator at the seventh level of the Divine Platform, activating the Grand Formation to peek at the Heaven Ladder Rankings is worthwhile. Don't you agree, Brother Wang?"

The Black-Robed Elder then slowly spoke, "Brother Bai, what are your plans? Even if we know of this hidden danger beneath the Heaven and Earth Stele, how do we resolve it?"

Bai Changbi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the old man from the Wang Family wasn't senile, everything would be easy to handle. The Chen and Tong families were wary of the Bai Clan's power and had always followed the Wang Family's lead.

"My Bai Clan ancestors once fortuitously obtained a World-Breaking Shuttle in the Ancient Realm. This item has been passed down to this day in preparation for the possible World Conflict. My Bai Clan is willing to use this item to overcome this crisis. However, this item cannot be activated by Divine Platform Cultivator, so there will be a price to pay for its use."

"World-Breaking Shuttle? What is this? Could it break through the shroud of the Heaven-Connecting Stele?" Chen Zongyao asked.

Bai Changbi said calmly, "The Heaven-Connecting Stele is an High Antiquity divine artifact, and it is impossible to break through its domain. However, this object is of the same lineage as the Heaven-Connecting Stele and can bring people inside. However, it can only be used once before it will shatter."

The Black-Robed Elder Wang Shihong, looked at Bai Changbi: "It is said that the Bai Clan had Celestial Person being among its ancestors, and their origins are extraordinary. It seems that what you say is true. However, I wonder what the price you mentioned is?"

Bai Changbi did not answer directly, but instead said, "You may not have figured out the value of this item yet, so let me explain. For our Slanting Moon World, the World Conflict is a crisis, but it is also an opportunity."

Chen Zongyao snorted coldly and said, "Why do you need to tell me that? What is the origin of a mere Floating World to my Exquisite World? As long as it cannot break through the upper limit of the Void Heaven, it is of little use."

Bai Changbi said calmly, "What Patriarch Chen Family said certainly makes sense, but what about the rewards for the Heavenly Ladder?"

"Even if we Outer Realm went to the Floating World, we wouldn't be able to climb the Heavenly Ladder, would we?"

Bai Changbi smiled and said, "We cannot ascend, but the people in this Floating World can. If the people in the Floating World are used by me, then what they obtain will also belong to us."

Upon hearing this, the four people present paused slightly in their breathing. The Heavenly Ladder reward was extraordinary, and its origin was unknown. Some speculated that it was condensed from an ancient magic array.

Although most of the items were useless to them, there were occasionally various divine objects and Cultivation Method. These things were very useful to them, and they might be able to break through the Divine Platform and enter the Void Heaven.

The Black-Robed Elder, Wang Shihong, slowly spoke, "What price must be paid to use this World-Breaking Shuttle? Secondly, before the World Conflict begins and the Floating World are revealed, how do you locate this realm?"

Bai Changbi smiled and said, "Although the World Conflict has not officially begun, since it has been selected, I naturally have a way to determine its location. This matter is a secret of my Bai Clan, so it is inconvenient to discuss it with you all. As for the price, it requires nine High-grade Spirit Vein and the Divine Soul power of nine high-level Divine Platform Cultivator. After these nine people activate the World-Breaking Shuttle, they may fall off the Divine Platform and suffer damage to their foundations."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces darkened. The so-called high-level Divine Platform meant at least the Divine Platform Seventh Level, and they were the backbone of their Lineage. This price was far too high.

Bai Changbi continued, "My Bai Clan will provide one high-level Divine Platform Cultivator, one High-grade Spirit Vein, and one World-Breaking Shuttle capable of carrying six people. My Bai Clan Bai Clan will send two people, and we will take forty percent of the spoils obtained in the Floating World."

Chen Zongyao was immediately enraged. "This is outrageous! Does that mean your Bai Clan contributed the least, yet received four times more than us? My Chen Family will not be the sucker!"

Bai Changbi said calmly, "If Chen Family is unwilling, he may leave now. The remaining four families can then discuss the matter. As for the price, it's nothing more than one or two Divine Platform Cultivator. If it can be exchanged for someone achieving the Void Heaven, I believe everyone can clearly calculate the gains and losses. My Bai Clan has paid for the World-Breaking Shuttle and still needs to locate the Floating World, so naturally we should take the lion's share."

Chen Zongyao looked at Tong Nanyang and saw that the Tong Family, who had always stood by him, remained unmoved. His face darkened, and he stopped talking and stayed where he was.

Bai Changbi smiled and said, "Since everyone agrees, let's discuss the specifics together."

I need your monthly votes! Only two days left! Fellow bosses, please check if you have any left. Keeping them is just a waste, isn't it?

Bow!
