"The first ranked is obviously the White-eyed Sword Saint Mo Bing Yue!"
"It said that she used one attack to strike fear in the heart of Peak Essence Qi realm experts. You of all people should understand what that means, right?"
"Her casual sword strike is enough to deter peak essence Qi realm, clearly she has already set foot in the next realm, even if she has not, her combat power is no different from someone that has."
"Before her, there was always a legend, but now we can be sure another realm exists. Let's not talk about her anymore, look at spear devil. He is the only one in this generation that can withstand an attack from her without dying. Rumor is, she gave him a chance because of this."
"Let's not mention messing with her; the Spear Devil guy is definitely an invincible figure in the Essence Qi Realm. You should then understand how dangerous this couple is, right?" The man's words made everyone thoughtful and envious.
Bing Yue indeed has already managed to go beyond the limits and attained what she has; anyone looking for trouble with her is just courting death.
How could Xu Jing, the spear devil, be capable of receiving more than five attacks and be any less monstrous?
He was clearly not far from also having already reached the threshold of the next realm.
In that way, these two are indeed frightening, but only Bing Yue seems to enjoy some of the benefits of the next realm, that is perception.
Yes, she has given birth to a spiritual sense, and probably the stronger she gets, the more it would improve.
Actually, what he did not tell the man was that, Mo Bing Yue was slightly older than Xu Jing by about 3 years. In that way, his potential was not bad, and at that time, he could be capable of bridging the gap, but unfortunately for him, she would not be sitting in the same place waiting to be surpassed.
It was the truth, especially in a situation where competition was forced, even though it was difficult to catch up and surpass those that were already before unless some opportunity arose that would allow one to improve super-fast.
The situation would remain the same for some time among some geniuses.
"I Wu Ming may not be any worse compared to others; I do not believe that it will be impossible to surpass them when we reach the other ore." The man with a saber seemed to have regained some confidence.
But no one cared about his inner confidence as the mist on the lake seemed to be spreading, making it very creepy, but none of these people were shaken by it.
Mo Bing Yue seemed to look into the distance, and her sweet voice echoed in Xu Jing's ears, "It is here."
Listening to the voice, he subconsciously looked into the mist as he replied, "Ok!"
Looking into the distance, Xu Jing could not see the boat but trusted Bing Yue, so he turned his head and shouted, "Okay, it is time to leave. Since you have gathered here, it means you have given up the chance to leave your name on the Star Pagoda or raise your rank."
"But even so, the information obtained from the Star Pagoda is enough to tell you the dangers involved in what you are trying to do, right?"
"Those that are incapable of supporting themselves, please go back and improve your strength before trying again."
How could he not be able to see through these people's thoughts? In the end, he could sense immense danger from the surface of this water, but the fact that he did not have the heart to retreat meant the danger was not going to target them.
But that was not the case for other things; in the water, the best case being level 3 monsters that would not shake him at all, but huge trouble for almost half of those gathered in this place. But knowing that his words could not be useful.
He decided to let everyone make their own decisions.
After passing the warning he did not speak anymore. Truth be told, he could be confident on this journey only since Mo Bing Yue managed to cross the 15th floor.
In the past years, he did work hard but it has become challenging to make progress in this place and that is something attributed to the environment.
The creators of this world seemed to have done this intentionally and eventually set up trials that seemed to even test those that had gone beyond the conditions provided, in this case, the person with 15th-floor combat power was already considered to be among them.
The reward from being 1st ranked on the Star Pagoda seems to have huge gains to someone like Mo Bing Yue's strength advancement.
The reason others might find it hard to surpass her, to also gain this chance.
In the same way, the structure of this world was in a way that people could only get at a stage that their strength category is within and the strong have no motivation to visit the place those that were weak are located.
But there are always exceptions, even the man that Musk saw killing the level Monster was not from the region with the Pagoda. The reason he would see the Pagoda and assume it was just some slight distance, was due to its, nature and design. The purpose is serves is also there, so in his desire to arrive near it, he will learn some ruthless truth that the eyes can be deceived too.
The region with the pagoda, housed those that had achieved the third realm, and in that way, it meant that Mo Bing Yue had already achieved combat power of the fourth realm. That was not something to ignore, even though her realm had now taken the step, her sword practice seemed to have achieved this result, and thus it explains that her talent in swordsmanship is not to be treated lightly.
Unlike what one would think, no boat was standing on the shore, most also thought that the boat would be arriving to pick them up, but it seemed like the process of leaving this island in itself was a huge test. Yes, Island. Standing in the sky is one where one to observe the situation of this miniature world, there were endless Islands the same size as this one, and the distance apart seemed substantial. All of them were populated, and it seemed that the more one observed further, they could see larger islands, but the numbers were decreasing as one moved further.
On the horizon, there was only one piece of vast land, standing by itself, the islands distributed from all directions, creating some kind of arrow-shaped topography.
From endless small islands to reducing larger islands to one major endless vast land. The vast land seemed like the endpoint, and those in the endless islands would eventually reach the piece of land, if they kept improving, eventually resulting in all the strongest being gathered in one place.
Such an environment was not created for peaceful co-existence. With the need for resources, conflicts would obviously arise in the end, but this was all far off from those who were trying so hard to leave this island for a bigger one, their main goal was to enter a region that could allow them to accumulate more resources. They did not understand the warning from Xu Jing, only Bing Yue understood what he was implying.
Once they set foot on that boat, the next journey was uncertain, and perhaps their level of strength would not amount to much, and wanting to be protected by others would not work; in the end, they would even become a burden to shoulder.
For instance, both he and Xu Jing had already made their decision to risk their lives for this, and they would not look back for anyone. So, his reminder also served as washing his hands off this mess.
