Outside the tower, the few Elders became uneasy again.
"What exactly are these two brats doing? Are they treating the trials as a joke? How can they clear levels like this? Itâs only been three days, and theyâve reached the thirtieth level already!"
"Iâm more curious about why those demon beasts are avoiding them and what secret Liu Bing is hiding!"
"So reckless, too reckless! I still have more faith in that girl Liu Mei; sheâs solid, making steady progress, gaining something on every level!"
As the Elders were discussing, the Family Headâs brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
Unlike the other Elders, he was the Liu Familyâs Head, and he controlled the Tower of Trials. He understood some of its secrets.
Like how Ye Luo kept searching for Dragon Beard Grass, then dug out that translucent bone! That made him feel a tremendous sense of crisis. What is this little guy digging those things for? And how did he even know about them?
Itâs a Dragon Bone! In the entire Liu Family, fewer than three people are aware of this!
In the entire Kunwu Sect, this is an earth-shattering secret!
"I hope this is just a coincidence!" The Family Head sighed, thinking to himself, after all, he still had much hope in Liu Qing.
...
"Thirty-fifth level, finally getting close to those last nine levels!" Ye Luo let out a breath.
In just four days, theyâve reached the thirty-fifth level, which is nothing short of a miracle. Even if the Family Head came to the Tower of Trials, he might not be able to surpass them.
And on Liu Bingâs face, a rare smile appeared.
There really were many heavenly materials and earthly treasures here!
To say nothing of other things, the valuable medicinal herbs alone were enough to make him a fortune.
The number of Dragon Beard Grass increased significantly here, and Ye Luo carefully collected them, placing them without missing a spot.
"What are you dawdling for, letâs quickly head to the next level! Iâm really curious about those last nine levels! Seems like we have the chance to see them this time, something that has never happened before in the disciplesâ trials!" Liu Bing said excitedly.
In fact, what he didnât say was that not only have the disciples not reached the last nine levels, but even the Family Head doesnât know whatâs inside them!
Though he controls the Tower of Trials, the last nine levels are a taboo. Only those who reach that level will discover the scene of the trials!
Besides this, the outside crystal simply cannot reveal anything!
In the Liu Family, only the Family Head and the Supreme Elder have ventured beyond the last nine levels. Of course, the Family Head only reached the forty-first level, and he understands that there, itâs not just about having strength to enter!
As for how far the Supreme Elder went, no one can say for sure.
Before the crystal, the Elders fell silent.
"Family Head, take action. With their strength, entering the last nine levels is basically a dead end!"
"Exactly, even we donât dare step foot in the last nine levels. If those two go in, itâs too dangerous, and with their realm, they simply canât handle the benefits inside!"
The Elders began persuading him, the Family Headâs eyes flickered, and he already had the Compass in his hand.
He sighed and activated the Compass to forcibly teleport Ye Luo and Liu Bing out.
These two youngsters came to the fortieth level with such smooth sailing, and as they were about to step into the last nine levels, the Elders finally lost their composure.
Because whatever happens in the last nine levels, the crystal cannot display, and they canât intervene to rescue them.
Moreover, the Tower of Trials is also a testament to strength! Donât be fooled by Ye Luoâs trickery to reach the last nine levels; with real strength, they wouldnât have made it!
Liu Mei is an example; sheâs only just reached the thirtieth level, which is already her limit!
Liu Cheng, on the other hand, was an exception, having reached the thirty-second level but stopped there!
As for Liu Shang, he fell short, stopping at the twenty-eighth level.
Even the Elders canât enter the last nine levels, so if Ye Luo and them go in, it implies their strength surpasses these Elders?
As for the cleverness involved, outsiders would never know.
So, no matter what, these Elders didnât want these two to enter the last nine levels.
Ye Luo originally wanted to adjust his state before entering the region of the last nine levels.
After all, the last nine levels were different; there was a life risk at any time. But just as he was about to replenish his spiritual energy, he felt a huge tugging force.
Instantly, he understood what was happening â they were going to be teleported out.
Liu Bing also realized it.
"Damn, those old guys are making a move at this time!"
Ye Luo too became anxious, for if they got teleported out, not only would everything they did be in vain, but it could also expose them!
"We canât worry about that now!" Ye Luo gritted his teeth.
Dragon Transformation!
The power of the Dragon Soul unleashed, and instantly, this tugging force was temporarily offset.
A flash of white light, and the two disappeared from the space of the fortieth level.
The few Elders outside looked at the Family Head, puzzled.
Could it be they were forcibly teleported out? But where are they?
"They entered the last nine levels!" The Family Head said with a somewhat unnatural expression.
"What!"
The Elders exclaimed.
Previously, they clearly saw the Family Head activate the Compass, and the teleportation power had already been triggered, but why werenât the people teleported out?
"Family Head, what exactly happened? If I didnât see wrongly, wasnât that the power of the Dragon Clan?" One of the Elders asked in puzzlement.
But the Family Head didnât respond, his expression changed slightly.
"You stay here and keep watching. Iâll report to the Supreme Elder!"
After saying this, he didnât explain further and vanished directly.
In a simple, almost primitive hall, an elderly man sat cross-legged on a huge meditation cushion in the center, the Supreme Elder of the Liu Family.
"Elder, this matter is too strange. We still donât know where the force of the Dragon Soul resisting the teleportation comes from! I feel the chance it comes from the upper nine levels is greater, though Liu Bing is also highly suspicious, considering he was taken by that person since childhood, and we have no idea what skills were passed on to him!" The Family Head respectfully spoke to the Supreme Elder.
"Havenât you suspected Qingâer, even a little?"
The Family Head paused, then laughed, "Although Qingâer has been training outside for years, he returns to the family for some time every year. I also observed him this time; nothing was amiss, and while his personality is unique, he doesnât harbor ulterior motives!"
The Supreme Elder sighed, "I hope your analysis is correct. The upper nine levels are beyond our control, and now that they have entered, we must leave it to fate. We are powerless."
The Family Head was silent for a moment, then reluctantly nodded.
