Xiao Tian destroyed the arrangement left by the Chaos Otherkind deep within the Demon-Slaying Ridge, which greatly pleased the Primordial Heavenly Dao. In addition to bestowing immeasurable merit, he also authorized a portion of the Deva Path's power.
Don't underestimate this portion of the power of Deva Path's Dao; it's the foundation for controlling the Primordial.
As the actual controller and manager of the Primordial world, the Deva Path's granting of this authority demonstrates its sufficient trust in Xiao Tian.
At this moment, Xiao Tian was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Lord Deva Path!" On the surface, Xiao Tian expressed his gratitude, but inwardly he was laughing wildly and couldn't wait to kill the Primordial Heavenly Dao.
This portion of the power of the Deva Path allows him to easily read the time and age information of various places in the Primordial, even the War of Dao and Demons, and the Ferocious Beast Great Tribulation.
However, Xiao Tian understood that the Primordial Heavenly Dao had definitely encrypted some of the information and would not grant access for sharing.
" The Chaos Otherkind are a real menace; they must be eliminated as soon as possible. The Pilgrimage Tower is no longer of much use and needs to be upgraded."
Xiao Tian muttered to himself, these words were meant for the Primordial Heavenly Dao to hear.
Therefore, Xiao Tian, in his capacity as the spokesperson of the Deva Path, invited the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti Jieyin, and Nüwa to the Human Clan Saint Teacher Hall for a meeting.
Meanwhile, after many days, Grandmaster Lanji finally reached the deepest part and saw a scene that caused him to have a heart attack and make it difficult for him to breathe.
"What a terrifying battle must have taken place here! So many skeletons! So many ancient, Ferocious Beast that only exist in legends!"
"Has that Buddha already departed?"
At that moment, Lanji felt that the Buddha was very likely the leader of the Great Thunderclap Monastery, Jieyin, or Zhunti.
"This place is sacred; it won't be long before it gives birth to the Holy Demon Flower."
Lanji clutched her chest, her heart pounding wildly with excitement.
The Holy Demon Flower is an extremely rare and precious natural treasure. It is the main ingredient for refining elixirs that possess the power of creation and rejuvenation. It is said that only a handful of people in the world can refine such elixirs.
One is Taiqing Laozi, the founder of the Humanity Sect; another is Supreme Laojun, the Supreme Lord of Heavenly Court; there is also the God of the North Sea and the Tathagata Buddha Ancestor of Western Continent of Cattle Gift.
"Once I harvest the Holy Demon Flower, I can enter the Holy Land and study Mahayana Buddhist Dharma!"
"Hehehe... Lanji, is that all you wish for? What is Mahayana Buddhist Dharma? As long as you can work for me, I'll make you a Buddha without any problem."
Lanji turned her head and couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap?"
Human Clan Saint Teacher Hall.
"Upgrade the Pilgrimage Tower? Fellow Daoist, do you have a plan?" Taiqing Laozi frowned, sensing the crisis.
"We have some plans, but they need to be improved before they can be implemented. The current Pilgrimage Tower can no longer harm the Chaos Otherkind. In my plan, it is not enough to rely on just a few of us Sage. Therefore, the Dao Attainment Conference will begin in six months," Xiao Tian said with a smile.
" The Dao Attainment Conference!" The fake Jieyin, fake Zhunti, fake Three Pure Ones, and fake Nüwa all couldn't help but look horrified.
"Which fellow Daoist will achieve sainthood?"
"Then we'll have to see what the leaders at that level are capable of!"
Establishing a new saint is Xiao Tian's own right, and even if he establishes three saints, the Primordial Heavenly Dao will not stop him.
After all, as long as the Primordial Heavenly Dao is not obstructed, the development of the entire Primordial is fine.
The news of the Dao Attainment Conference was transmitted to the ears of powerful beings of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level and above throughout the myriad realms by Xiao Tian's boundless divine powers.
Suddenly, the peaceful and tranquil Primordial became restless.
The bigwigs in various locations have revealed their ambitions.
Below even Sage, all are but ants!
Even Sage can fall from grace, but those who don't become Sage are even more likely to die!
At the easternmost edge of the Primordial, there stands a Spiral Heaven-Reaching Tower reaching to the heavens, a gateway to the Chaos.
This tower was constructed by Xiao Tian using the power of the Deva Path, which was delegated by the Primordial Heavenly Dao. It has a total of 99,999 floors.
Piercing through the clouds and breaking through the towering peaks!
The Dao Attainment Conference will be held here!
The powerful beings of Eastern Continent of Divine Victory were the first to arrive.
The Heaven-Reaching Tower exudes a powerful and imposing aura, its ancient and timeless presence seemingly emanating from Chaos. The pressure, so immense that its top is invisible, penetrates deep into the soul, instilling a sense of oppression and awe.
The fake Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti, as well as Nüwa and the real Xiao Tian, arrived early.
In order to prevent the Primordial Heavenly Dao from discovering that the Sages had long been replaced by Xiao Tian, thus Stealing Heaven, therefore!
The actor who played the fake Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and even Zhunti Nüwa, were quite shocked by Xiao Tian's extravagant Spiral Heaven-Reaching Tower of Heaven and frequently sought his advice.
The atmosphere was very harmonious.
A thousand miles away beneath the Heaven-Reaching Tower, groups of powerful beings from the nearby Eastern Continent of Divine Victory were discussing the matter.
"It seems we're climbing the tower. Even if we can't become saints, in my opinion, it's still a benefit for us Great Luo Golden Immortal who are stuck at our cultivation levels."
"Indeed, each level of this Heaven-Reaching Tower seems to contain the essence of the Dao, Great Dao majesty. Look over there, the space Chaos, the space is sometimes distorted, and there's the strange phenomenon of being scorched by the flames of Void. It's clear that each level of this Heaven-Reaching Tower presents trials of varying degrees..."
With the appearance of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, the gods and immortals of Heavenly Court also arrived one after another.
Even the Heavenly Court's ruler, Haotian, and Yaochi arrived early, hiding in the clouds.
As the Heavenly Emperor of all realms, Haotian most desires to become a saint.
As the ruler of the Heavenly Court, with pawns of various saints within his ranks, and with his homeland being divided into many smaller plots, Haotian, a large landowner, felt extremely distressed.
Most importantly, the death of Dao Ancestor Hongjun at the hands of Deva Path was the greatest blow to Haotian, who was constantly afraid of being remembered by Deva Path.
Fortunately, Deva Path is just, impartial, and selfless. Over time, the Haotian has been constantly arranging celestial officials to help the Human Clan. For example, if a Human Clan or city is suffering from a severe drought, the Dragon King will be sent to bring favorable weather. If a powerful demon is causing trouble, a divine general will be sent to slay it.
Haotian went to great lengths to lick Xiao Tian's toes, the representative of the Deva Path.
After all, Haotian knew that Xiao Tian was Saint Teacher of the Human Clan, and if he helped the Human Clan, Nüwa would also have a good impression of him.
At present, the Human Clan is still the protagonist of heaven and earth. Haotian also wants to leave a good impression on the Deva Path and show that he and Dao Ancestor Hongjun are not the same kind of people.
Half a month later, all the onlookers and participants from the Four Great Continents and countless worlds had arrived.
Normally, one would only encounter a handful of Great Luo Golden Immortal, but in the current environment, there are quite a few, numbering as many as 100,000, and there are also hundreds of Quasi-Sage Great Luo Golden Immortal.
The land is divided into eight directions, occupied by various forces, such as the Netherworld Ancestor Minghe, the Lord of the Blood Sea; the Heavenly Court, with the Demon Emperor lineage led by Kunpeng and other great demon saints; and the Human Emperor faction and its lineage.
Although the number of people joining in the fun was small, the ancestor of Earth Immortal immortals, Great Immortal Zhenyuan of Five Manors Temple, was not to be underestimated...
There is also the power of the saints.
Then, the ground shook, and the underworld beings came up.
The Yanluo of the Ten Courts, the various ghost kings, and the ghost generals also had their own intentions.
Interestingly, through the primordial spirit avatars of his partners who were lurking around the Chaos Otherkind, Xiao Tian also enabled the Chaos Otherkind to extend its reach into the Dao Attainment Conference.
Xiao Tian's several primordial spirit avatars also arrived.
"It's about time, fellow Daoists, let's reveal ourselves."
Xiao Tian, positioned in the center, glanced left and right at the fake Three Pure Ones Jieyin Zhunti, and Nüwa.
"Good!"
Because it is close to the membrane of heaven and earth and has the Heaven-Reaching Tower, the sky here is gray and oppressive. However, with the appearance of Sage such as Xiao Tian, auspicious clouds filled the sky and golden lotuses bloomed in the void. The purity of the spiritual energy in this world increased a hundredfold and a thousandfold.
This is a blessing and a great favor for the Great Luo Golden Immortal!
The true nature of the Sage is revealed! The essence of Tao flows throughout heaven and earth!
Many Great Luo Golden Immortal were greatly shaken, and through their own Dharma Eyes, they saw different Dao Realms that belonged to them.
It felt like an era, a century, an eternal epoch...
When Xiao Tian's voice echoed, everyone came to their senses and were overjoyed with what they had gained.
"Heaven and Earth responded to the call of Heaven, and the position of sainthood awaited its appointed ruler. To protect Heaven and Earth and safeguard all living beings, the Fortuitous Opportunity Heaven-Reaching Tower was created. This tower has 99,999 floors, and the top floor holds the key to sainthood: the Primordial Purple Qi."
The gazes of the hundred Quasi-Sage burned with fervor; this opportunity to become a saint was their true purpose.
Although there were many Great Luo Golden Immortal present, most Quasi-Sage did not take them seriously.
As leaders of their respective sects, Minghe, Zhenyuanzi, Tathagata, Grandmaster Bodhi, Haotian, Yaochi, and others exchanged glances.
"Fellow Daoists, let's clash atop the Heaven-Reaching Tower!"
"Good!"
However, the Heaven-Reaching Tower's gates are not yet open. Although one can see the spiral staircases, each staircase has a barrier as thin as a cicada's wing at the top and bottom. Furthermore, the higher the level, the less protection there is around. It can be said that if one falls, one can only start over.
" The Fortuitous Opportunity Heaven-Reaching Tower increases in difficulty with each hundred floors, testing your intellect, magical power, composure, and comprehension. Anyone who excels in any of these areas can reach the top."
Xiao Tian's voice was like thunder, causing the eyes of Minghe, Haotian, Zhenyuanzi, and others to shrink.
For a moment, they realized they could no longer underestimate those Great Luo Golden Immortal.
" The Fortuitous Opportunity Heaven-Reaching Tower will open in one hour! I remind you all once again! Once you step onto the Fortuitous Opportunity Heaven-Reaching Tower, even if your primordial spirit is destroyed, you can still be reincarnated within the Six Paths of Reincarnation. However, please consider carefully whether or not to ascend the tower."
Countless powerful beings fell silent.
They knew that the Fortuitous Opportunity Heaven-Reaching Tower was bound to be filled with bloodshed, but did the Sage's warning indicate that the Heaven-Reaching Tower was extremely difficult?
An hour later, some fearless Great Luo Golden Immortal and Quasi-Sage advanced.
The Heaven-Reaching Tower's steps were very wide. Several Peak Quasi-Sage at the level of sect leaders led the way, advancing side by side. They did not resort to underhanded tactics against each other, but instead climbed the tower at full speed.
"As expected of the Sect Leader! He's already reached the hundredth level in just one breath!" The Asura Clan members of the Netherworld Sect looked on with fervent admiration.
"Look there! A Great Luo Golden Immortal has exploded and died!"
"That was only the fifteenth level! That was a Mid-Stage Great Luo Golden Immortal! And he's in such a sorry state!"
Many onlookers were stunned, their hearts trembling.
Should we really climb the tower?
"A bunch of cowards, what are you afraid of!"
At that moment, a childish voice, tinged with disdain, echoed as a beam of light landed at the entrance of the Heaven-Reaching Tower.
The powerful figures looked closely and burst into laughter.
"A little brat like you, trying to climb this Heaven-Reaching Tower! You should go home and drink your milk!"
Shh! This person is someone of great importance! Quiet!
The little brat being mocked was none other than Xiao Li.
"My God! How can this kid be so powerful! He's already reached the hundredth level in no time! He's actually Quasi-Sage!" Many Great Luo Golden Immortal and onlookers were stunned.
At this moment, the fake Zhunti couldn't help but look at Xiao Tian and said in a sarcastic tone, "Fellow Daoist, this one?"
"Rest assured, fellow Daoist, success or failure depends on his own destiny," Xiao Tian said with a smile.
"Good." The Zhunti vividly portrayed the real Zhunti, revealing a relieved smile at this moment.
