Chapter 1968 - 1951: A Stone Gate

In the ancient city, Xiao Ye brought the Tie Wu Star Plate into the Time Tower.

The Tie Wu Star Plate was truly domineering. By using this artifact to cultivate the Tai Chu Body, one might inadvertently fall into a state of eternal damnation.

Therefore, before this, Xiao Ye did not dare to use the Tie Wu Star Plate in the Time Tower, fearing that his consciousness would be shattered, affecting his control over the Time Tower.

This was also a reminder from the Time Great Saint to him.

But now it’s different.

Rumble!

Sitting cross-legged on the Tie Wu Star Plate, he saw the crisscrossing star patterns suddenly awaken, like a vast heavenly wheel, erupting with a power of annihilation, continuously impacting Xiao Ye’s spirit body, spreading intense pain like a tide.

Having experienced countless collapses and reconstructions of his spirit body, Xiao Ye could now endure this pain. Moreover, he had forged part of the Tai Chu Body, significantly slowing the collapse speed of his spirit body.

As time passed, the momentum emanating from Xiao Ye’s spirit body became even more terrifying, with the Ten Great Phenomena revolving around him, making him appear like a deity.

Soon, Xiao Ye had been cultivating on the Fifth Layer of the Time Tower for five months.

Boom!

The ten phenomena surrounding him rapidly expanded, as if breaking through some boundary, and five new phenomena emerged, causing the Time Tower to tremble.

"The Tai Chu Body has improved quite a bit again!"

Xiao Ye’s black hair fluttered, his spirit body flawless and pure, radiating a brilliant glow, with each inch of flesh seemingly exuding strands of holy might, extremely terrifying.

"With my Tai Chu Spiritual Power and Tai Chu Body erupting together, no matter how strong Wu Sheng, Yue Qianqiu, and Mo Yue are, what can they do?" Xiao Ye’s face revealed a slight smile.

Although the Tai Character Scripture Phase can instantly enhance combat power, given his current realm, it’s still unsuitable for prolonged fighting and can only be used for quick victories.

With powerful opponents descending from the three major clans, surrounding him, it would obviously be impossible to end the battle quickly if they turned hostile.

But the Tai Chu Body compensated for that flaw.

In addition, he had many hidden cards, truly fearing no one anymore.

"However, this is one of my trump cards, and I can’t use it lightly," Xiao Ye thought to himself.

After all, his spirit body achieved its current state by being nurtured with the holy-grade power of the Time Great Saint, which involves a lot of complications, and if exposed, it might bring trouble.

"Five months on the Fifth Layer of the Time Tower equates to three days outside, so the array should have disappeared by now."

Thinking of this, Xiao Ye shot up from the Tie Wu Star Plate, leaving the Time Tower.

Sure enough, upon arriving outside, Xiao Ye found the ancient city had vanished, and he was standing on a spacious platform.

This platform extended from the inner walls of a white giant tower, with no other figures in sight around.

"Could they have been trapped in the array and haven’t come out yet?" Xiao Ye slightly frowned, suddenly looking downward, his gaze freezing.

"It seems there’s someone below!"

Xiao Ye’s figure vanished from the platform, rushing straight down the passage.

This time, after flying for just half a day, Xiao Ye saw the bottom of the White Tower.

It was a grand stone chamber, filled with shadows of people. Martial Artists from the Void Great Realm, Illusion Annihilation Great Realm, Guang Han Great Realm, the Witch Clan, and the Sky Demon Clan all stood in the stone chamber.

Looking around, Xiao Ye found that apart from the people from the Void Great Realm and Yue Qianqiu’s group, there were fewer Martial Artists from other forces.

The Martial Artists standing there now appeared weak and drained, as if they had gone through countless fierce battles.

Even the three mighty figures, Yue Qianqiu, Wu Sheng, and Mo Yue, had mottled blood stains on them.

Xiao Ye understood that it must have been that Blood Slaying Clan martial artist who activated the array.

"This guy actually made it out unscathed?"

As Xiao Ye flew over, everyone’s eyes turned towards him from all directions, the Witch Clan and Sky Demon Clan experts were slightly stunned.

Particularly Wu Sheng, who let out a cold snort, his eyes flashing with cold light.

They were trapped in the killing formation, suffering intense attacks, either dying or injured, yet why did nothing happen to those from the Void Great Realm?

"Xiao Ye, you’ve finally come."

The three Martial Artists from the Void Great Realm were overjoyed and hurried forward.

"As expected."

After a brief exchange, Xiao Ye smiled.

Ghost Fire and others, like him, were trapped in the array but were not attacked, remaining unharmed.

"Why are you standing here?"

Xiao Ye didn’t explain further but instead changed the subject.

They had already reached the bottom of the White Giant Tower. If there were clues to the entrance of the Saint Rank Starry Sky Secret Realm, they should be here.

"Over there, there’s a quasi-saint from the Blood Slaying Clan."

Ghost Fire said in a low voice.

"What? A quasi-saint!"

Following the sound, Xiao Ye realized that in this underground stone chamber, there was an emaciated figure sitting cross-legged, with wrinkled blood-red skin, looking like a red skeleton.

He was so decrepit, ravaged by time, like an old fossil, his body withered beyond recognition, about only one meter tall, sitting there without releasing any aura, seemingly blending into the underground stone chamber, hard to notice.

However, upon closer inspection, one could see the terrifying power contained within this withered old body.

That was a quasi-saint expert!

It was hard to imagine how a quasi-saint, who should have remained unaged through time, could be so aged?

Behind this quasi-saint, there was a tightly closed dark stone gate.

Being at the bottom of the giant tower and having a stone gate, who wouldn’t be curious? But this quasi-saint blocked everyone’s path.

"Could it be that behind this stone gate is the entrance to the Saint Rank Starry Sky Secret Realm?" Xiao Ye’s eyes flashed with brilliance, but he didn’t act rashly.

Perhaps Yue Qianqiu invited them to explore this white giant tower together because he knew there was a quasi-saint here.

"Is everyone here?"

"Hehe, a new wave of talent emerges in every generation. So many phenomenal Spirit Rank experts from the Human Clan, Witch Clan, and Sky Demon Clan have appeared."

The quasi-saint of the Blood Slaying Clan let out an eerie laugh, echoing through the underground stone chamber, rather menacingly.

"Old geezer!"

"If you know what’s good for you, get out of the way. You’ve grown so old, the only result of a fight would be your death!"

Mo Yue of the Sky Demon Clan took a step forward, his purple hair dancing in the wind.

As a genius of the Sky Demon Clan, Mo Yue was valued highly by Saint Rank experts of the Sky Demon Clan, and he certainly wasn’t unprepared for this excursion.

"Indeed, step aside. The Blood Slaying Clan’s momentum is gone, and there’s nothing you can do to recover it by yourself." Wu Sheng also said coldly.

"Young ones, don’t be hasty. I know why you’re here."

"The stone gate behind me indeed leads to the starry sky secret realm formed after the ancestor’s passing. As geniuses from various clans, with Saint Rank experts backing you, you can certainly enter."

The quasi-saint stood up with an eerie smile, making everyone shiver, ready to fight defensively.

Unexpectedly, the quasi-saint did not attack but stepped aside, revealing the stone gate behind him.

This quasi-saint...

Is he really letting them in?

Everyone was momentarily stunned.
