The light emanating from the Tower of the Gods grew increasingly intense, and the faint mists obscuring it seemed to melt away like ice under the sun, slowly dissipating.

The pavilions and eaves of the Tower of the Gods gradually became clearer, and even the bluestone path leading to its entrance could be distinctly seen.

Another half-month passed, and a series of resonant tones echoed out. The hazy aura surrounding the Tower of the Gods seemed to be peeled away like a thin veil, instantly revealing its true form.

"The Tower of the Gods is about to open!" As someone shouted, numerous cultivators possessing the God Tokens stood nervously at the edge of the Godsfall Crevasse, waiting to rush into the tower the moment it opened.

Taishi Xiao also stood at the edge of the Godsfall Crevasse. While others focused intently on the end of the bluestone path leading to the tower, he paid more attention to the depths of the crevasse.

"Are you Taishi Xiao?" A sudden voice echoed in Taishi Xiao's ear.

Taishi Xiao instinctively shivered and then saw a pale, beardless young man glaring at him coldly.

"I am indeed Taishi Xiao. Is there something I can help this senior brother with?" Taishi Xiao clasped his fist in greeting, speaking respectfully.

The young man said indifferently, "You previously exchanged an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact and two bottles of Pristine Wasteland Pills for Junior Sister Lu Yu's God Token, didn't you?"

"Ah..." Taishi Xiao looked blankly at the young man and asked, puzzled, "God Token? Does senior brother mean the token that allows entry into the Tower of the Gods?"

"Don't play dumb with me. Are you the one who took Junior Sister Lu Yu's God Token?" The young man frowned, his tone becoming impatient as he repeated the question.

Taishi Xiao suddenly retorted, "Your grandpa took it. What can you do to your grandpa?"

After saying this, he charged directly into the Godsfall Crevasse.

Many people had been gathered at the edge of the crevasse because the Tower of the Gods hadn't opened yet. Now, someone suddenly rushing in triggered a chain reaction, and countless cultivators followed suit.

The young man who had stopped Taishi Xiao was momentarily stunned, only to find that Taishi Xiao had already entered the Godsfall Crevasse.

"Wait, the Tower of the Gods hasn't opened yet!" Some experienced experts hurriedly shouted.

But everyone had already jumped into the Godsfall Crevasse. Who cared if the tower had opened or not? Human thinking, whether after a hundred years or ten thousand, tends to follow inertia. The logic was that if a new place was opening, going in first would certainly give one a greater chance of obtaining better things.

...

"Brother Mo, why are so many people suddenly appearing?" Su Xi, hiding with Mo Wuji in the Godsfall Crevasse, asked in confusion as she saw a crowd of people rushing toward the Tower of the Gods. Logically, the tower shouldn't have fully opened yet.

Mo Wuji frowned slightly. He didn't understand what was happening either. In theory, the Tower of the Gods hadn't opened.

"Boom!" A violent sound echoed out, and a massive golden gate appeared at the end of the bluestone path leading to the Tower of the Gods. The gate opened, and a wave of ancient aura emanated from within.

Mo Wuji couldn't help but admire these guys. They timed their entry into the Godsfall Crevasse so perfectly. They rushed in before the Tower of the Gods opened and happened to be near the tower when it finally did.

"Su Xi, quickly put away the Great Kun Buddha Lamp. The Tower of the Gods has opened, and we're going in now. Remember, only use the Great Kun Buddha Lamp as a last resort." Mo Wuji instructed before sending Da Huang into the Immortal Mortal World.

A few minutes later, Mo Wuji and Su Xi had seamlessly blended into the crowd rushing toward the Tower of the Gods.

Mo Wuji had transformed into a slightly tanned young man, and Su Xi had become his junior sister. She was no longer in her nun attire, and her long hair flowed freely over her shoulders.

God Tokens were hard to obtain, but that didn't mean they were scarce. Legend had it that after each closure of the Tower of the Gods, many cultivators perished within, but their God Tokens would invariably be teleported back out. Thus, each time the Tower of the Gods opened, a large number of cultivators would enter.

The countless individuals with God Tokens frantically squeezed toward the golden gate, and Mo Wuji and Su Xi, mixed in with the crowd, didn't stand out.

...

At the edge of the Godsfall Crevasse, a blue-haired man stared intently at the entrance of the Tower of the Gods, recording every cultivator who entered. As more and more people entered, and fewer remained outside, his expression grew increasingly grim.

His entire being seemed to be enveloped in lightning, radiating an endless, violent source of thunder.

"Brother Gu Yun, you're here to wait for that little beast as well, I presume?" A clear voice sounded near the blue-haired man.

The blue-haired man turned to look at the slender man who had approached. He wasn't surprised and clasped his fist in greeting, saying, "So it's Brother Ming Hu from the Great Sword Dao. It seems our purposes are the same."

This blue-haired man was Lei Gu Yun from the Leizong of the Great Free Immortal Domain, the strongest expert in the Leizong. When he had just become an immortal emperor, he had single-handedly annihilated a major sect that also had an immortal emperor.

The slender man, carrying a long sword on his back, had sword-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes, making him extremely elegant. His identity was no less than Lei Gu Yun's; he was Yi Ming Hu, the sect leader of the Great Sword Dao of the Luo Ling Immortal Domain. With a Celestial Lord elder of the Great Sword Dao killed, how could the sect leader sit idly by? Furthermore, this Celestial Lord was Sa Jian, the master of Huang Sha, the Great Sword Dao's talented successor.

"Brother Gu Yun's lightning essence is overflowing. It seems you're on the verge of a breakthrough in your great divine power," Yi Ming Hu said, recognizing Lei Gu Yun's condition at a glance. Otherwise, he wouldn't be radiating such lightning essence. Under normal circumstances, Lei Gu Yun wouldn't have come out at this time. The fact that he had come out right before his breakthrough, even coming to the Godsfall Crevasse, showed the depth of his anger.

Lei Gu Yun took a deep breath. "Indeed, this little beast killed my Leizong's First Elder, Qi Junyi, and also killed my Leizong's Celestial Lord and Celestial King. If I don't grind this little beast to ashes, I, Lei Gu Yun, will have cultivated for all these years in vain."

Yi Ming Hu nodded. "This man is ruthless and inhuman. He nailed my Great Sword Dao's Sa Jian and his disciple to death at the edge of the Godsfall Crevasse. I, too, wish I could tear out his soul and refine it."

Lei Gu Yun naturally understood Yi Ming Hu's meaning. He asked, puzzled, "Logically, this man obtained a God Token and should have entered the Tower of the Gods. Why haven't I seen him?"

Yi Ming Hu said calmly, "There are countless means of disguise. This Mo Wuji can enter the ranks of a Seventh-Grade Pill Emperor at such a young age. He's definitely not one to give up easily. I estimate that he has entered the Tower of the Gods through disguise. We just need to wait here. As long as he doesn't die, he will come out. If he dies in the Tower of the Gods, consider him lucky."

...

As soon as he entered the golden light gate, Mo Wuji felt a vast and powerful force engulf him. Under this force, he had no ability to resist.

"Splash!" A chilling coldness penetrated him, and Mo Wuji knew he had fallen into water. He immediately released Da Huang.

"Boom!" As soon as Da Huang came out, he threw a punch, and violent immortal essence erupted around him, creating a massive vortex in the water. A fish beast with a mouth full of sharp teeth left a trail of blood and quickly fled.

The smell of blood rushed to his nose, and Mo Wuji immediately felt uneasy. He called out to Da Huang and instantly shot out of the water.

A moment later, countless unknown fish had filled the space where he had just been. Mo Wuji felt a chill run down his spine. If he had been a little slower, he would have been swallowed whole, leaving no bones behind.

He didn't know where Su Xi had been teleported to. He just hoped she wouldn't be teleported to such dangerous waters like him.

Mo Wuji didn't dare summon his shuttle. Instead, he and Da Huang carefully traversed the water's surface and landed on a smooth boulder at the edge of a sandy beach.

Around the boulder was a stretch of gray-white sand that looked no different from an ordinary beach. Mo Wuji breathed a sigh of relief and was about to step onto the beach when Da Huang suddenly leaped up again and threw another punch.

"Bang!" The surrounding sand and rocks turned into dust in the immortal essence. A small, almost elven-like creature rapidly fled under the force of the punch and disappeared into the distant sea in an instant.

Mo Wuji gasped. He knew Da Huang's strength very well. Even a great immortal emperor would have to fight with all his might against Da Huang's punch, yet that little sprite was hit by Da Huang's punch and seemed completely unfazed as it escaped into the sea.

"Da Huang, what was that thing? So terrifying?" Mo Wuji asked with lingering fear.

Da Huang replied in a deep voice, "It seemed to be some kind of artifact spirit. I don't know exactly what kind."

After speaking, Da Huang reached out and touched the top of his head.

An artifact spirit? An artifact spirit was that strong? Mo Wuji became even more cautious. He landed on the ground and saw a huge bronze ring buried deep in the sand and rocks that Da Huang had blasted open. He couldn't sense anything inside the ring with his spiritual will. But the copper ring looked like a piece of scrap iron.

"Da Huang, I think I know. The artifact spirit that escaped just now should be from this bronze ring. This bronze ring seems to be even stronger than a Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifact..." Mo Wuji said, reaching out to grab the bronze ring.

"Boom!" A water arrow shot out of the sea again, lunging at Mo Wuji once more. Fortunately, Da Huang was next to Mo Wuji and threw another punch.

"Splash!" There was an explosion, and the thing that had shot out of the water was blasted back into the sea for the second time by Da Huang.

Mo Wuji said without hesitation, "Let's go, Da Huang. We need to leave this place immediately."

That artifact spirit was not to be trifled with. Each punch from Da Huang consumed some Azure Crystals. Once Da Huang's Azure Crystals were exhausted, he would be in even more danger. As for this bronze ring, Mo Wuji had no intention of taking it. He was sure this copper ring belonged to that artifact spirit, if he took the ring away, that spirit would chase him and fight to the death.

(That's all for today, goodnight friends)

(I don’t know whose ancestral grave I accidentally dug up. This rabid dog gang registered a bunch of new accounts in my book review section saying that I was stealing accounts and swiping votes, even the avatars and registered names are from the same series. All these registered accounts didn’t even vote once, and they were all just registered recently. Hehe, our Immortal Mortal has an average order of almost 30,000, and a high order of over 50,000, do we need to steal accounts and swipe votes?

I remember when The Strongest Abandoned Son won first place that year, it was also spammed by a group of rabid dogs, and later those rabid dogs were killed by Qidian’s technical department. And now I don’t need to prove anything anymore, Old Five has already proven what he needs to prove, and I don’t need to compete for anything by some means. I really can’t figure out which animal’s path I, as an old author, am blocking, that they would come here to spam my screen and say that I am stealing accounts and swiping votes.

I just want to say one thing, rabid dogs, go back, your ancestral dog is calling you to eat.)
