Jiang Wang took a step forward, and light and shadow shifted.

As for Lian Que, who was left in the Heavenly Mansion Dragon Palace, he would naturally be moved out of the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm after everything settled down.

What appeared before him was an extremely wide platform, seemingly built on a high mountain,

with a stone base, reaching into the clouds.

Looking around, clouds and mist surrounded him, with mountains vaguely visible.

At the center of the platform was a nine-cornered tower, so tall that its top could not be seen.

There was a plaque on the tower, inscribed with the words “Tower to Heaven.”

A stele stood in front of the tower, with inscriptions on it, and three people stood in front of the stele.

Xu Xiangqian, Li Longchuan, and Chong Xuansheng.

Xu Xiangqian was touching and feeling the stele on the left and right, wondering what he was studying.

Li Longchuan, with a jade band around his forehead, stood upright like a pine tree, closing his eyes to rest.

And Chong Xuansheng’s fat figure occupied a corner, his small eyes vigilantly looking at Xu Xiangqian from time to time, and then at Li Longchuan.

He seemed very worried about being targeted.

These were three people completely different in appearance and personality, but they came together and were surprisingly harmonious.

As soon as Jiang Wang appeared, Li Longchuan’s eyes opened, his whole person ready to go, a sharp aura faintly locking onto him.

Like a bow about to be drawn, like a string about to be released.

Seeing that it was Jiang Wang, he smiled slightly as a greeting, and the aura immediately subsided.

As soon as Jiang Wang appeared, Chong Xuansheng’s small eyes immediately lit up, and he immediately waved his hand and said, “Brother Jiang, this way!”

Probably because he had finally met up with his teammate, his back straightened and his voice became louder.

Xu Xiangqian was too absorbed in his research and only realized that Jiang Wang had arrived when he heard the voice, and he also turned around to greet him: “They all said they didn’t encounter you, but I knew you would definitely come here.”

He had a lot of confidence in Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang just smiled, greeted Xu Xiangqian and Li Longchuan, and then went straight to Chong Xuansheng, took out the Horn of Azure Dragon and said, “I have fulfilled my mission!”

Looking at this Horn of Azure Dragon, Chong Xuansheng’s expression was complicated.

“Brother Jiang,” he said, “you should know that the Mind Demon Curse is ineffective here.”

Before entering the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm, no one knew what the situation would be like.

Many of the methods people had prepared were ineffective, and the oath that Jiang Wang had made on the Mind Demon Curse could not be established.

He could actually not give this Horn of Azure Dragon to Chong Xuansheng. The Mind Demon Curse could no longer restrain him.

And from a practical point of view, anyway, no one would remember this matter after leaving the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm. The Divine Ability Inner Mansion was the tangible gain that could be seen.

“I know,” Jiang Wang smiled, “but this is what I promised you.”

He stuffed the Horn of Azure Dragon into Chong Xuansheng’s fat hand. “Take it.”

Chong Xuansheng carefully examined the Azure Dragon Horn and praised, “What a treasure! But… I already have one.”

He handed it back to Jiang Wang: “Now it’s the second part of our agreement, I’ll help you get the Divine Ability opportunity. Take it.”

Jiang Wang couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Then why don’t you choose and see which one is better?”

“Before truly exploring the Divine Ability, who knows which one is more precious?” Chong Xuansheng shook his head, his eyes narrowed with a smile: “I’ll just leave it to fate and respect the choice of fate.”

With the words said to this point, Jiang Wang naturally would not be coy, put away the Azure Dragon Horn, sat down by the edge of the stone platform, and chatted with Chong Xuansheng about the process of obtaining their respective Azure Dragon Horns.

Compared to Jiang Wang’s adventure, Chong Xuansheng had much better luck. He and Shi Si were assigned to a Dragon Palace. The two joined forces, relying on their powerful strength, and directly crushed their opponents. Of course, this was just Chong Xuansheng’s side of the story, but Jiang Wang felt that, given the fat man’s insidiousness, the process might have been even simpler.

Afterward, Shi Si was healing in the Dragon Palace, and Chong Xuansheng brought the Azure Dragon Horn here early.

In fact, he was the first person to arrive in front of the Tower to Heaven.

As for the other people in that Dragon Palace, they were naturally all dead. The same was true for Xu Xiangqian and Li Longchuan.

This had nothing to do with personal character.

Because aside from many external things, the various rules in the Heavenly Mansion Dragon Palace were actually encouraging killing.

In a way that was almost like raising poison, selecting the strongest.

While they were talking here, Xu Xiangqian and Li Longchuan were very polite and did not come close, continuing to study or rest.

Looking at the clouds under the platform, Chong Xuansheng suddenly said, “Brother Jiang, do you know why I insisted on inviting you in, but drove Chong Xuanxin away? Technically, he’s still my distant cousin.”

“There’s no need to explain. I don’t care about these things.”

“But I do care,” Chong Xuansheng said stubbornly, and then continued: “Because he sided with Chong Xuanzun.”

“I know Chong Xuanzun. He’s the one who sent Wang Yiwu to target you, right?”

“It’s not really sending. They’re very good friends.” Chong Xuansheng emphasized the word “friends”: “Chong Xuanzun is my cousin, a close one, not like Chong Xuanxin, who’s from a branch family. He’s the heir to the future head of the Chong Xuan family, and I’m his only competitor.”

Chong Xuansheng smiled: “My chances are not great, so I’m taking the risk to compete for the opportunity of the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm. A future Divine Ability Inner Mansion will qualify me to try my hand with him. And he is self-centered, seeking to stifle all challengers.”

“I’m the only one in the Chong Xuan family who is competing with him now, not that I’m the only one who is qualified. But, among the qualified descendants who are still alive, I’m the only one who isn’t afraid to die. I’m the only one who dares to seek this opportunity.”

His smile was a little bitter.

Jiang Wang nodded: “Then, I understand.”

“Chong Xuanzun’s advantage is too great. In the past ten years, everyone has regarded him as the next head of the Chong Xuan family, almost unshakeable. If it weren’t for him… I wouldn’t have had a chance.”

Chong Xuansheng did not say exactly what problem Chong Xuanzun had that gave him the opportunity.

Instead, he continued: “The reason I traveled thousands of miles to ask you to help is because there are not many people around me who are trustworthy. Before I gain a certain position, I don’t dare to trust them. I suddenly announced that I would replace Chong Xuanxin not long before entering the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm because I didn’t want to give Chong Xuanzun time to react. I didn’t expect Wang Yiwu to get a spot in such a short period of time and follow us directly.”

Chong Xuansheng said here, word by word: “He wants to kill me.”

The two of them sat on the high platform, with the sea of clouds under their feet.

Jiang Wang did not make any promises, nor was he particularly passionate, but simply said: “Don’t worry.”

Just this sentence.

But now Chong Xuansheng already knew.

Jiang Wang’s promise, one sentence was enough.

The Tower to Heaven went straight into the clouds, as if it really led to the sky.

But now the door was tightly closed.

According to the description on the stele, at least five people had to appear here, or after twelve hours had passed, the Tower to Heaven would open its doors.

At this time, the people who got the Azure Dragon Horn could enter the Tower to Heaven to pursue their own Inner Mansion Divine Ability.

Since there were five Dragon Palaces, then there should be a fifth person who got the Divine Ability opportunity.

Everyone present felt that that person would definitely appear before the end of time, and it could only be Wang Yiwu.

Rumors were just rumors after all, and you would only know how strong they really were after fighting them.

And whether it was Chong Xuansheng or Jiang Wang, they were both ready to fight.

Time passed little by little, and the fifth person did not appear for a long time. The others were fine, but Xu Xiangqian was getting a little anxious.

After he finished studying the stele, he started studying the clouds outside the stone platform and was inspired to write poetry.

“This scene should only exist in the heavens, clouds and mist, nothing can be seen!”

After reciting, he shamelessly asked Li Longchuan, “How is my poem?”

Li Longchuan seemed to have fallen asleep while resting, without saying a word or moving.

Xu Xiangqian was not discouraged and went to Jiang Wang’s side: “Brother Jiang, you are an experienced person, give me your opinion?”

Chong Xuansheng was not in the mood to pay attention to him, glared at him a few times, hoping that he would consciously distance himself and not affect his and Jiang Wang’s preparations for battle. But Xu Xiangqian was completely oblivious, his extremely high forehead shining brightly.

Anyway, since he was idle, Jiang Wang pretended to ponder for a while and praised, “The first half is good, simple and straightforward, but concise and grand. It just looks a little familiar…”

Xu Xiangqian coughed: “Actually, the second half…”

Halfway through his words, everyone shifted their gaze to the fifth person who appeared on the stone platform.

The young man had a naive appearance, a restrained expression, and was even a little shy.

It was actually Zhang Yong from the Zhang family of Fengxian!
