When Lu Ren followed Elder Zixu back into the Calamity Platform Secret Realm,
he saw that the platform was already packed. At a glance, there were at least sixty or seventy people.
Lu Ren flew over alone. Jin spotted him from afar and waved frantically. "Lu Ren! Over here!"
Lu Ren saw Jin standing nearby with Jiang Huanyu and flew over, landing beside them.
"Lu Ren, why are you so late? I almost thought you couldn't make it up!"
Jin said.
Lu Ren put on a rueful expression. "Ah, that Nine Heavens Ladder was too hard!"
"It was. I haven't fused with a Battle Embryo, and I nearly failed to climb it!"
Jiang Huanyu said.
"Master, I went back to the First Heaven!"
Lu Ren said.
"Oh? How did you get back to the First Heaven?"
Jiang Huanyu asked in surprise.
They had only one year. Traveling from the Third Heaven to the First Heaven was no easy feat.
"Never mind how I got there!"
Lu Ren smiled, then told Jiang Huanyu everything that had happened in the First Heaven.
After listening, Jiang Huanyu sighed. "To think someone like Bai Tianming would fall just like that!"
"By the way, Master, are there any particularly powerful people here?"
Lu Ren asked.
Jiang Huanyu swept his gaze over the crowd in the distance. "I hear Yuan Qingcang tops the Eighth Heaven's Heavenly Talent Ranking. He was the first to reach the Calamity Platform. He's very likely to enter the Immortal Dao Palace!"
Jin cut in from beside them. "This competition is so unfair! They're making us compete against the talents of the Nine Heavens. I hear those people are born with Battle Embryos, and after cultivating all these years, many have developed Battle Bodies. We don't stand a chance against them!"
"Indeed.
