The Tenth Step

"Brother Li, when you handle matters, you truly are extraordinary."

Jiang Linxian looked at Li Rui with a beaming smile.

He had naturally heard the name Sage Monarch and had returned specifically for it.

Li Rui said, "It was all thanks to Brother Jiang's introduction. Without Old Master Zhu's support, I could never have earned the title of Sage Monarch."

Jiang Linxian merely smiled and shook his head.

"Brother Li, do not be so modest. Master Zhu and I are not actually that familiar. It is all due to Senior Zhuge's friendship, and the two of them have not met for five hundred years. That Master Zhu looked upon you so favorably was entirely due to your own abilities, Brother Li."

As they spoke, Li Rui led Jiang Linxian into the residence.

The moment they entered the room.

Jiang Linxian swept his sleeve, and an invisible force enveloped the room.

Seeing this.

Li Rui immediately understood that what Jiang Linxian was about to say could not be heard by others. He asked, "Brother Jiang, have you found news of the Ascension Platform?"

He knew it well.

He had come to Central Province to avoid disaster and broaden his horizons, while Jiang Linxian had come in search of the Ascension Platform to attain the Dao Lord Position.

The only thing that could make Jiang Linxian so cautious was the Ascension Platform.

Jiang Linxian nodded slightly.

"Yes."

Seeing Jiang Linxian confirm it, Li Rui's pupils contracted slightly.

Good heavens.

Jiang Linxian had truly found the Ascension Platform.

Jiang Linxian asked, "Brother Li, do you know who was the last person in this world to ascend the Ascension Platform?"

Li Rui pondered for a moment. "Everyone knows it was the Azure Emperor."

Jiang Linxian shook his head. "Wrong. It was Dao Lord Juxiang."
