“When the spiritual fire appears, there will certainly be important treasures following it. Did the Ghost Lair truly believe that our Demonic Sky doesn’t know?” The leader of the crimson-robed figures laughed sinisterly.

He had set out to confuse the members of the Ghost Lair. Due to some special circumstances, not many members of the Ghost Lair and the Demonic Sky could come to Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. There was a certain limit. The number of people that the Demonic Sky could have involved was not advantageous compared to the Ghost Lair. Under such circumstances, the more that the members of the Ghost Lair looked down on them, the more of an advantage Demonic Sky would have.

As for the Inner world ancient martial art practitioner sects, he had never considered them to be opponents at all. What qualifications did a mere few ancient martial arts sects have to allow them to contend with their Demonic Sky?

“If my guess is correct, the leader of the Ghost Lair that is here must be Chu Yuan. Aside from him, there are another four Martial Arts Grandmasters cultivated by the Ghost Lair,” Wei Chifeng said cautiously as he glanced at the leader of the crimson-robed figures.

He knew that Chu Yuan was an old rival of his current lord. It could be said to be inevitable for them to meet in the Fighting Spirit Tower.

Let’s go. Enter the Fighting Spirit Tower.” The leader of the crimson-robed figures was expressionless as he walked made large strides towards the Fighting Spirit Tower.

Inside, a light flashed, making people’s eyes dizzy. The light also flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. The scene now before him was no different from the manor of an ancient aristocrat. He was surrounded by buildings and there was a water pavilion on the terrace surrounded by gardens. The place was beautiful. It was as though he had stepped into another world. The fresh air made Mo Wen feel exceptionally comfortable. He took a deep breath and looked around curiously.

He had already known that the interior of a Fighting Spirit Tower was another world. It was mysterious. For a tower to have three thousand realms was not an exaggeration.

If one wanted to reap benefits from the Fighting Spirit Tower, they could only do so by completing the trials within it. If they could not pass the trials of the Fighting Spirit Tower, it was very likely that they would leave empty-handed.

Also, the world inside the Fighting Spirit Tower was a real world. If any accidents happened during the trials, they would also be real. If one died in the Fighting Spirit Tower, they would really be dead.

Mo Wen was in a forest. Right in front of him was a lake. The lake was planted full of lotus plants and their leaves covered the surface of the lake. A scene of endless green leaves lay before him.

Mo Wen had just appeared when beams of light started flashing constantly in the nearby surroundings around him.

Soon, there were twelve more people in the garden. Mo Wen gave the twelve a glance. He noticed that all of them were very young and were part of the younger generation.

Pei Fengwu, Jin Ying, Jun Wulei, Gong Zhangyan, and Hou Jingfeng were all there. Aside from them, there were a few youths that Mo Wen did not recognize. The aura from each one of them was strong and they were at least at the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm.

An odd look flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. He had never imagined that the Fighting Spirit Tower would place all of the younger generation together to face the trials. These youths were clearly the finest youths of the various sects.

“What is this place? Elder Brother Wang, how is it that you are here?”

“This is the inside of the Fighting Spirit Tower? It’s a world inside a world. How miraculous!”

“Rumor has it that inside the Fighting Spirit Tower, we can only obtain treasures by passing the trials. We can’t have already entered the trials, can we?”

“Hao Qian and Hou Jingfeng are all here. Both of them are among the most famous youth ancient martial art practitioners in the ancient martial arts world. How can I possibly have the chance to stand out if we are facing the trials together?”

The younger generation of the various large sects looked around curiously. They frantically discussed their surroundings, as though they had discovered a new continent. They had never come in contact with the Fighting Spirit Tower, so they were very interested in everything inside.

Once Hou Jingfeng appeared, he suddenly noticed Mo Wen. His eyes were glued onto Mo Wen and did not move away for a while. However, Hou Jingfeng did not act. Instead, he merely pouted and did not say a word.

Gong Zhangyan also noticed Mo Wen. But he only ground his teeth and looked at him with a gaze full of hatred. He knew he was not a match for Mo Wen at his current level. If he tried to attack, he would just be embarrassing himself.

“Mo Wen, you are unfathomable.” Jun Wulei smiled as he walked up beside Mo Wen. He had not dared to walk up to him before when his grandfather was present but now, he finally had the chance to catch a few words with Mo Wen.

It was not wrong to say that he viewed Mo Wen in a new light. It had only been one or two months since Jun Wulei had seen Mo Wen and in that time he had become so powerful. Jun Wulei was shocked by Mo Wen’s abilities. When they had been in the forbidden land of Dafang Sect, the difference between the two of them was also wide by now the difference in power was reversed: Jun Wulei was far inferior to Mo Wen.

Mo Wen’s strike against Gong Zhangyan had been enough to shock and awe the majority of the younger generation of ancient martial art practitioners from the entire ancient martial arts world. Mo Wen did not seem to be inferior to the top geniuses.

“Elder Brother Jun, how have you been?” Mo Wen smiled as he nodded his head. Mo Wen had not been pleased when Jun Wulei had revealed his identity to the members of the Gao Clan. Now, Gao Clan’s earlier actions, as well as their attitude towards Mo Wen, made him feel that Jun Wulei had been correct to do so.

“Mo Wen. So you are the Mo Wen from the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall. The Mo Wen that joined the Fengwu team. Humph!” Jin Ying said as she walked over with a cold expression.

She clearly did not want to give Mo Wen a look that suggested everything was alright between them. Only now did she know that Mo Wen had long known Pei Fengwu and was also a member of the Fengwu team.

Mo Wen was somewhat baffled. What did Jin Ying mean by this? He had not provoked her.

“She is the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall’s Yeyuan team leader,” Pei Fengwu said as she calmly smiled nearby. She did not know what had happened between Mo Wen and Jin Ying, but the two of them clearly knew each other.

Upon hearing this, Mo Wen’s eyes flashed with a look of revelation. So Jin Ying was the famous Yeyuan team leader. Before this, he only knew that Jin Ying was a member of the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall, but he did not know that she actually had such an important role.

Fengwu team and Yeyuan team had always been rivals. Since Jin Ying knew that he was a member of the Fengwu team, she naturally would not be pleased with him.

As they were talking, the sky suddenly darkened. A frightening Power of Will descended from the sky. The Power of Will was utterly terrifying. It seemed endless, as though it contained the very might of heaven. The entire world seemed to be suffocating from the pressure of the Power of Will.

Rumble! Thunder and lightning filled the sky. Dark clouds enveloped them and it suddenly started to rain heavily. Strangely, the heavy rain only poured on a small area in the center of the lake. The rest of the area was actually not affected at all.

Standing in the garden and looking out at the heavy rain pouring down on the lake in the distance, it practically felt like two completely different worlds.

Suddenly, a huge rumble sounded in everyone’s minds. A vast will directly crashed into everyone’s consciousness.

The next moment, strings of information suddenly appeared in everyone’s minds. action

A light flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes and he awakened from his state of revelation. He stared intently at the lake in the distance.

The Will of the Tower Spirit had just sent them the mission for their trial. They needed to cross the Lotus Lake!

On the other side of the Lotus Lake from their position, there was a lotus pavilion. Whoever first reached the lotus pavilion would be the final victor.

There were no paths on either side of the Lotus Lake. If they wanted to cross, they could only fly over the lake’s surface.

Mo Wen looked towards the end of the Lotus Lake. The lake was not big; its two ends were about a thousand meters apart. With his ability, crossing the Lotus Lake seemed to be too easy, but he knew that it was impossible for the trials of the Fighting Spirit Tower to be so simple.

All of the youthful ancient martial art practitioners around Mo Wen had also received the prompt from the Tower Spirit.

A burly youth was the first to make a move. He had a square face and a tough look. The aura on his body was rich, much higher than that of normal intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners. Based on his cultivation, he should not have been weaker than Gong Zhangyan.

The youth did not say a word. He looked forward as he walked towards the Lotus Lake, taking large, confident strides.

Thunder sounded and lightning flashed over the Lotus Lake. Heavy rain poured down. The youth paused for just a moment, then began his attempt to cross the lake.

Everyone’s gaze was locked on the burly youth. They all knew that crossing the Lotus Lake would not be too easy. Since someone had come out to be the first to try, they naturally would not miss the opportunity to observe his progress.

The burly youth had just stepped into the lake when his figure suddenly shook. It was as though a large mountain had suddenly pressed down on his body.

The lower half of his body fell into the water and it seemed that the burly youth would be completely submerged. If a part of them fell into the lake, it meant that they had failed the trial.

At the last moment, his body suddenly exploded with a strong black light. The black light shot towards the water’s surface, immediately stirring up waves. The burly youth used the recoil and jumped, flying onto the surface of the lake.

However, anyone could tell that the burly youth was having a hard time standing on the surface of the lake. It required almost all of his strength to be just about able to stand properly.

Then, just as the crowd believed that the surface of the lake only had heavy gravity, an unexpected thing happened. A rumble sounded from the dark clouds in the sky. A blinding bolt of white lightning struck down. In the blink of an eye, it crossed the sky and crashed towards the burly youth.

The expression of the burly youth changed slightly. From his sleeve, he drew a blue pocket-sized umbrella and threw it into the sky. The umbrella suddenly became bigger. It floated above the burly youth, slowly spinning.

Lightning struck the blue umbrella. It caused the figure of the burly youth to tremble, but at least he had blocked it.

He took a step forward and leaped onto a green lotus leaf. The buoyancy of the lotus leaf greatly lessened the pressure on the burly youth. He did not dare delay. Stepping on lotus leaf after lotus leaf and holding off the heavy rain, thunder, and lightning from the sky, he walked forward with large steps.

The trials of the Fighting Spirit Tower did not necessarily require that everyone cross to the end of the Lotus Lake. As long as they passed a certain distance, they could also receive a suitable reward. The further they went, the greater the reward. Of course, only the first person that reached the end would receive the best reward.

Mo Wen did not know what the reward of the Lotus Lake was, but he could guess that if it appeared in the Fighting Spirit Tower, it certainly would not be average.

Also, as expected, the Fighting Spirit Tower was miraculous. This trial was clearly designed for ancient martial art practitioners. If they were immortal cultivators, such a trial would certainly have not appeared. There were practically too many ways that immortal cultivators could use to cross the Lotus Lake.

Mo Wen eyes flashed. He too strode towards the Lotus Lake. He was not the second person to do so. After the burly youth, there were already a lot of people who had anxiously entered the Lotus Lake. After all, only the first person to cross to the end of the Lotus Lake could receive the best reward. No one was willing to fall behind others.
