Only half a day remains before we can climb the Divine Mystic Fire Tree.
At this moment, everyone from the Black Fire Branch gathered at the foot of the mountain.
Ye Qiubai arrived late, walked up behind the Black Fire General at the front, and asked, "Have the Divine Fire Pill been refined?"
Black Fire General smiled and nodded. "Thanks to you."
All four commanders, including Commander Wei and Commander Ren, gave Ye Qiubai friendly smiles.
It's fair to say that if it weren't for Ye Qiubai, their Black Fire Branch would have been in real trouble this time.
Without the Divine Fire Pill, their people are simply unable to climb the Divine Mystic Fire Tree!
Black Fire General looked at everyone and said, "Since Guest Elder Ye is still unclear, I will explain the rules again here, so that everyone can listen carefully."
"There is a consensus among the nine branches regarding the climbing of the Divine Mystic Fire Tree: generals will not intervene; only the disciples and commanders below them can climb it."
Black Fire General, for example, has already reached the Early Stage of the Demigod Realm. If they were to climb up, the resulting aftershocks of the battle would likely kill all the disciples around them!
"At the same time, there is no time limit for climbing, but falling or dying will prevent you from continuing to climb."
"And all we have to do is one thing: while preventing those from other branches from climbing, we must also ensure that we, or help our own people, reach even higher places!"
Only the person who climbs to the highest point will have their branch controlled by the Divine Mystic Fire Tree for five years.
"Time's up, let's go!"
With a command given, the Black Fire Branch marched in a mighty procession toward the Divine Mystic Fire Tree.
On the way.
Black Fire General looked at Ye Qiubai and asked, "Are you really not required to take the Divine Fire Pill?"
Generally speaking, disciples possess two Divine Fire Pill, which allows them to sustain themselves on the Divine Mystic Fire Tree for three days.
Commanders-level figures possess ten, since those who reach the top are generally commanders-level individuals.
The other disciples were merely trying to slow down the others... or perhaps they were hoping for a miracle, a breakthrough in their encirclement?
The chances of this happening are small, but it is still possible.
Ye Qiubai shook his head and said, "No need, the fire poison is not harmful to me."
Black Fire General smiled wryly, "You... truly put us cultivators who have spent our entire lives practicing the Law of Fire to shame."
They were originally from the Divine Mystic Fire Sect, dealing with the Law of Fire every day, and also possessed this auspicious place for fire-attribute cultivators.
But they are far inferior to outsiders like Ye Qiubai.
How can you not feel ashamed?
When they arrived directly beneath the Divine Mystic Fire Tree...
The Divine Mystic Fire Tree was extremely thick, like a small mountain.
If you just walk slowly, it would take an average person about a month to complete one loop.
Even at the very bottom of the fire tree, endless flames erupted from its trunk.
The temperature was even higher than, or no lower than, that of molten lava!
Keep in mind that this is only the very bottom of the Divine Mystic Fire Tree.
At this moment, the other eight directions were also surrounded by dense crowds.
These are all people from the other eight branches.
When the Black Fire Branch arrived, all eyes turned to them.
Black Fire General and the four commanders noticed these gazes and couldn't help but frown.
"It seems that we will be the first to be eliminated in this Divine Mystic Fire Tree Climb again," Black Fire General said with a grim face.
The others also looked grim.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
Who made them the weakest?
The weak will only be eliminated.
This is an ironclad rule in the world of cultivation.
However, Ye Qiubai noticed that all their eyes seemed to be focused on him.
It seems that the battle with Commander Yang also attracted the attention of the other eight branches.
Thinking of this, Ye Qiubai walked behind Black Fire General, approached Commander Ren and the others, and transmitted his voice, "You guys climb first, don't worry about me. It seems they've made me their primary target."
After Ye Qiubai's reminder.
Black Fire General and the four commanders noticed that many eyes from the eight branches were fixed on Ye Qiubai.
"What do you want to do?" Commander Ren asked.
Ye Qiubai thought for a moment and said, "I'll figure it out myself. You don't need to worry about me. Just do your best to climb."
The four commanders looked at each other, but at this point they could only trust Ye Qiubai.
As the flames on the Divine Mystic Fire Tree began to surge.
After consuming the Divine Fire Pill in their hands, countless people immediately began to climb rapidly towards the top of the Divine Mystic Fire Tree!
Seizing the initiative also allows you to gain a better position for attack.
Above the Divine Mystic Fire Tree, although the fire poison was even more concentrated, the power of the Law of Fire was also much stronger!
However, since they are all fire-attribute cultivators, they can use the power of the flames released from the Divine Mystic Fire Tree to attack!
Whoever occupies the high ground first will have a huge advantage!
Commander Ren and his men were no exception; they exerted all their strength to climb upwards!
However, there was only one exception.
Below the Divine Mystic Fire Tree, the generals of the nine major branches remain.
The other person is Ye Qiubai.
The other generals and commanders who were climbing up all watched this scene with furrowed brows.
They had no idea what trick Ye Qiubai was up to.
According to the intelligence, wasn't Ye Qiubai here for the Divine Mystic Fire Tree?
But why aren't you climbing now?
What kind of operation is this?
Black Fire General was also somewhat puzzled.
Seeing this, Ye Qiubai smiled, looked up at the commanders who were focusing their attention on him, and even deliberately slowed down, and chuckled, "Stop looking at me. If you keep being wary of me, then don't even think about catching up with them."
Indeed, with the commanders of the other eight branches all focused on Ye Qiubai, their speed inevitably slowed down.
They have already distanced themselves from Commander Ren.
Upon seeing this, the general of the Azure Fire Branch turned extremely grim and roared, "Everyone, go and occupy the high positions!"
Commander Huang shouted, "Ignore him for now! If he wants to climb, he'll definitely come up. We'll intercept him from a higher vantage point!"
Ye Qiubai watched as the people above began to speed up, remaining unhurried with a faint smile on his face.
Black Fire General reminded him, "No matter what, they look like they're going to intercept you from above. Just wait here."
Ye Qiubai said, "It's alright, let them go first."
No matter what, there will always be a limit.
Moreover, there is no time limit.
If we go now, we'll easily be surrounded and attacked.
But...
Once they reach a high point, they'll probably start attacking each other, not even waiting to get their hands on one another.
That was when Ye Qiubai began his climb.
Moreover... the fire poison had no effect on him.
