Chapter 1301 - 1301: Five Identical Beauties

When Liu Zixuan just stepped onto the thirteenth floor, different situations occurred both inside and outside the tower.

Inside the tower, Mos Ivan, Sect Leader of the Angel Sect, had already reached the fifteenth floor, though he lingered on the fourteenth floor for a long time, seemingly approaching his limit.

At this moment, Que Xinyan, Sect Leader of the Void Mountain Sect, had been on the sixteenth floor for almost twenty minutes, and the light on this floor flickered as if it was about to go out.

As for Sa Qianqiu, he exited the tower when the light on the fourteenth floor went out.

Standing at the tower's entrance, he uttered a Buddhist chant, then smiled and said, "I admit my skills are slightly lacking, barely reaching the fourteenth floor, so I am indeed not destined for the subsequent floors."

The fourteenth floor had already broken previous records, and all members of the Spirit Institute belonged to the Buddhist Sect, possessing more stable mental states compared to other sects' disciples. Thus, they simply congratulated Sa Qianqiu without saying much else.

In contrast, the disciples of the Angel Sect and Void Mountain Sect were all tense, constantly staring at the tower's situation.

"Zixuan just stepped onto the thirteenth floor. Judging by the time spent on previous floors, he's likely to stop at around the fifteenth or sixteenth floor," Xiao Hu said as he stroked his chin.

Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows, "I really hope Zixuan can reach the top floor and smack the faces of other martial artists. But looking at the situation, the top is too difficult!"

"Indeed, those who entered the tower along with Zixuan were all outstanding in the Life and Death Realm, and right now, only the Sect Leader of the Void Mountain Sect has slightly surpassed, barely reaching the sixteenth floor. I fear even if he uses some trump cards, he would probably stop at the seventeenth floor.

Whereas the Sect Leader of the Angel Sect might not even match the Void Mountain Sect's leader, barely reaching the sixteenth floor is enough, so perhaps no one can reach the top floor."

Luo Xi sighed; even while believing the tower's challenges were too difficult, she still hoped Liu Zixuan could once again create a miracle.

Truth be told, the people in the tower were under pressure, and they outside were equally stressed. After all, so many pairs of eyes were watching!

Hearing their conversation, Long Tengyun and Ye Qinglian exchanged glances, both giving a wry smile.

They hoped not to see any gaps appearing between martial artists in the Star Sea Martial Realm, but holding such high hopes for Liu Zixuan, if he couldn't surpass the other sect leaders, gaps might indeed appear in their relationships, leading to instability and inevitable issues.

In the Star Sea Martial Realm, everyone harbored different thoughts, whereas the two sects, Angel Sect and Void Mountain Sect, secretly rejoiced.

"It seems our Void Mountain Sect is bound to win this time. First, our Sect Leader can obtain the treasure from the tower, second, we'll win the bet and gain treasures from other three factions, and third, it would completely elevate Void Mountain Sect's prestige—we gain threefold, and this time, our Void Mountain Sect will definitely become the strongest in the World Martial Realm!"

"Exactly, the rankings in the World Martial Realm should have changed long ago; our Void Mountain Sect is the true number one!"

"Ridiculous, our Angel Sect is the strongest, and our Sect Leader is still challenging, hasn't stopped yet, so who will win is still uncertain!"

"No need to argue over this. Isn't there more to these relics than just this treasure tower?" Sa Qianqiu said with a smile.

The disciples of the two sects glanced at Sa Qianqiu, fearing him somewhat.

Thus, they stopped arguing here, instead looking towards Luo Xi, Zhao Yi, and other people, sharing a meaningful smile, "Even if our Sect Leader loses, there's still someone from Star Sea at the bottom."

"Yes, seeing Star Sea Martial Artists lose on this Star Sea Land is indeed the most delightful." A strong figure from Void Mountain Sect also chuckled.

"Who says we'll lose!" Zhao Yi cursed unhappily.

An elder from Void Mountain Sect stepped forward and pointed at the thirteenth floor, "Look at your Liu Zixuan, he's only at the thirteenth floor after so long, I bet he'll stop here at most."

"Slow doesn't necessarily mean losing!" Xiao Hu said sternly.

"What? Looking for other excuses again?" An elder from the Angel Sect sneered, "If you can't do it, you just can't do it, why find so many reasons to slap yourself in the face?"

"You!"

"Alright, why waste words with them!" Zhao Yi wanted to argue back but was stopped by Luo Xi.

Winning or losing aside, it's indeed not worth wasting words with those who were originally enemies.

Moreover, Liu Zixuan hasn't yet failed and come out of the tower; everything is still uncertain!

...

Inside the tower's thirteenth floor.

The gatekeeper on this floor had a somewhat unique appearance.

From the nose down, the person appeared no different from normal, but his eyes were vastly different from humans, as he had only one eye, positioned in the center, looking particularly odd.

This person held a long whip with golden scales, but the end of the whip was a very small hook.

Whether the person or the weapon, Liu Zixuan was seeing them for the first time.

Considering various strange things existed in ancient times, Liu Zixuan gradually came to terms.

As he approached, the strange gatekeeper lightly tapped beside his seat, and suddenly the earth shook twice, raising five cabinet-like things from the ground.

"Within these five cabinets are five women, whose appearances, figures, speech, and behavior are completely identical. But only one is real; the other four are replicas. You have three minutes to choose the real one, with a total of two chances."

The strange gatekeeper said, blinking that solitary eye once, and the doors of the five cabinets abruptly opened.

Five utterly identical women appeared before Liu Zixuan.

Liu Zixuan stroked his chin, just about to step forward when the strange gatekeeper spoke again, "Though you have two chances, each wrong guess will result in four different punishments."

Liu Zixuan turned his head and asked, "What if I get neither right?"

"If you get neither right, you'll face a total of eight different punishments. After the punishments, your realm will fall from the current Life and Death Realm to the Innate Emperor Realm First Heaven. After being severely injured, you will not have the opportunity to continue challenging, and I will eject you from the tower. Of course, if you pass this stage, I will give you an additional reward."

Having finished speaking, the strange gatekeeper stepped back two steps, "You may begin!"

Liu Zixuan furrowed his brows; indeed, this stage presented some difficulty. Not only did it test his eyes, but it also gave no chance for resistance, instead punishing directly for mistakes. No wonder previous martial artists stopped at these floors and couldn't go further.

Also, he understood why the seductive beauty advised Liu Zixuan to challenge alone before. If a clone were here and saw these five beauties, it might forget the challenge and keep running over to flirt.

Pinching his forehead, he then looked over at the five identical beauties.
