Chapter 1301 - 1302: Trembling Heaven and Man
The crowd beneath the Cold Ice Tower could not calm their hearts at all.
The fifth floor of the Cold Ice Tower lit up.
"Heavens, someone actually lit up the fifth floor of the Cold Ice Tower. Was it Mo Qingluan who lit it? Or was it one of Xiao Tianyu and Li Fei!"
"It should be Mo Qingluan. The Cold Ice Tower belongs to the City Lord. I believe she usually comes and goes from the Cold Ice Tower often, so breaking the record of ten thousand years and lighting up the fifth floor shouldn’t be too big a problem!"
"That’s true as well!" Many people expressed agreement.
The fifth floor of the Cold Ice Tower was lit, the record refreshed, and it had only taken seven days—what a short span of time that was.
At this moment, even Mo Xuan, seated atop the city tower, could not keep his heart calm. After this session’s Wind and Cloud Banquet struggle, how could he have imagined that someone would light up the fifth floor? This was something that, since ancient times, no one had ever been able to accomplish.
The one who lit up the fifth floor would definitely undergo a transformation.
Was it Mo Qingluan, Li Fei, or Xiao Tianyu?
Now, Mo Xuan’s heart was brimming with anticipation. No matter who lit up the fifth floor and refreshed the record, they were a prodigy of his City Lord’s Mansion.
Three days later.
Bang~
The sixth floor of the Cold Ice Tower lit up.
It caused an uproar.
The outside world was thrown into complete upheaval. Originally, they had believed that the fifth floor was already the limit, yet three days later, the sixth floor lit up. Heaven and earth shuddered together as boundless Soul Power pressure erupted from the sixth floor. Everyone felt their Life Spirits tremble, as though they were about to be torn away by that terrifying Soul Power.
The fifth floor was not yet the limit, and now the sixth floor had been lit, making the Cold Ice Tower’s Soul Power boundless.
Yet at this moment, among Mo Qingluan, Li Fei, and Xiao Tianyu, not one of them had come out of the tower. Then who exactly was the one who had lit up the sixth floor? Who possessed such terrifying Soul Power?
This Soul Power was in no way weaker than that of a Divine Separation Stage expert.
Too terrifying.
Shua~
At this time, Mo Xuan suddenly stood up, his gaze fixed on the Cold Ice Tower. In all the thousands of years he had lived, he had never seen such a miracle—today, the sixth floor of the Cold Ice Tower was actually lit.
To think that within ten days, the sixth floor had been lit—how utterly terrifying must that talent be?
How incomparably mighty that Soul Power?
Rumble~
At this moment, the main gate of the Cold Ice Tower suddenly opened with a bang. Shua, shua~ Endless gazes turned toward the gate, filled with boundless expectation. Was someone coming out? Was the person coming out the one who had lit up the sixth floor?
Sure enough, a white‑clad, stunning figure walked out from within the Cold Ice Tower—it was actually Mo Qingluan.
The first to come out was unexpectedly Mo Qingluan.
"Qingluan!" At this moment, Mo Xuan descended directly beside Mo Qingluan, causing her to freeze for a moment. Why was Father so nervous? Could it be because she had lit up the fifth floor and refreshed the record?
Mo Qingluan had indeed lit up the fifth floor of the Cold Ice Tower, refreshing the record. Her Soul Power had been solidified, and her talent had stepped up another level.
Mo Xuan looked at Mo Qingluan and spoke bluntly: "Qingluan, which floor of the Cold Ice Tower did you light up?"
"The fifth floor, of course, Father. What’s wrong with you!"
"Someone has lit up the sixth floor!" Mo Xuan’s voice trembled slightly.
What, the sixth floor?
Hearing this, Mo Qingluan’s beautiful eyes suddenly turned, fixing on the Cold Ice Tower. She had just walked out from the Cold Ice Tower and had no idea that someone had lit up the sixth floor. Immediately, her beautiful eyes stared straight at the sixth floor.
Sure enough, the light on the sixth floor was blinding, its Soul Power boundless.
She was stunned.
Mo Qingluan had originally thought that by lighting the fifth floor she had already refreshed the record, yet now she was the first to come out, and someone had lit up the sixth floor of the Cold Ice Tower—that floor was the Residual Spirit level.
Was it that guy?
Mo Qingluan’s expression changed, filled with shock and a hint of paleness.
"Qingluan, what’s wrong?" Seeing Mo Qingluan’s face grow pale, Mo Xuan couldn’t help but ask. Mo Qingluan drew in a deep, chilly breath and said, "Father, do you know what the sixth floor inside the Cold Ice Tower is?"
Mo Xuan froze for a moment. Though the Cold Ice Tower was in his hands, he did not actually know what the sixth floor contained. One could only know of the sixth floor after making contact with the fifth.
Thus, Mo Xuan asked, "What is it?"
"Residual Spirit!" Mo Qingluan uttered a trembling sound: "The sixth floor is the Residual Spirit layer. That is to say, in order to light the sixth floor, one must first split off a Residual Spirit. Since ancient times, before stepping into Divine Separation, who would dare to split their soul? Therefore, I did not step onto the sixth floor of the Cold Ice Tower, nor did I dare to attempt it!"
Mo Qingluan’s words pounded heavily in Mo Xuan’s mind, setting off towering waves in his heart. To split off a Residual Spirit before entering Divine Separation was no different from courting death, yet the sixth floor of the Cold Ice Tower, the Residual Spirit layer, had indeed been lit.
If what Mo Qingluan said was true, then there must be someone inside who was splitting their soul.
However, within the Cold Ice Tower, aside from Xiao Tianyu, only Li Fei remained. Neither of these two were Divine Separation Stage experts, so how could they split their souls and divide their Life Spirit?
"Father!" Mo Qingluan suddenly spoke: "Regardless of whether the person inside the tower succeeds in splitting their soul, what you must do now is seal off all news. It absolutely cannot leak. Everyone here must be dispersed at once, including all the major families!"
Mo Qingluan continued, "As for the matters concerning the sixth floor and the Residual Spirit Platform, they absolutely must not be leaked. From this day forward, the Cold Ice Tower can no longer be open to the public. This secret must be buried forever!"
Every word Mo Qingluan spoke was like a pearl, and she spoke not only for Xiao Tianyu, but also for the City Lord’s Mansion. A monstrous genius had lit up the sixth floor of the Ancient Tower—the Residual Spirit layer. How terrifying was that? Most crucial of all, Xiao Tianyu was only at the Divine Level Seventh Layer.
Even if the one performing the Residual Spirit was not Xiao Tianyu, it would be Li Fei.
The two of them were both at the Divine Level Realm. At such a level, they could already perform Residual Spirit. If they succeeded, then within the vast land of the Thousand Cities, they would definitely be the most monstrous of beings. If this matter were to spread, how could the city lords of the Thousand Cities possibly stand by and watch Ice Sea City rise and tower above all?
Thus, there would definitely be those who would kill Xiao Tianyu in his cradle, and when that happened, Ice Sea City would also be plunged into a bloodbath.
A single remark awakened the dreamer.
Mo Xuan immediately issued an order: "On today’s matter, if any of you reveal so much as half a word, your nine clans will be exterminated, including all the major families!"
His voice shook the void, causing colossal waves to surge in the hearts of the endless crowd. As long as they weren’t fools, they could all sense that today’s event was anything but ordinary. Otherwise, Mo Xuan would never issue such a command.
In Ice Sea City, Mo Xuan was the ruler. His word was imperial decree; no one dared defy it. All the more so when this concerned the extermination of nine clans—who would dare spread the news lightly, unless they wished to vanish from Ice Sea City?
The powerhouses of the three great families—the Yan Family, Li Family, and Zhuang Family—could not calm their hearts, including Zhuang Feiyan, Yan Hai, and Li Qingyun, the three prodigies of the Wind and Cloud Banquet. Their hearts were all surging with towering waves.
This night, the City Lord had issued such an order to cover up today’s secret; naturally, they were utterly terrified.
Su Mei’Er’s beautiful eyes shone with a strange light as she gazed at the Cold Ice Tower. Was it because of that guy?
She was very much looking forward to it.
Hong Yuan and his sister likewise had taut expressions, their eyes fixed on the Cold Ice Tower, a hint of excitement in their gaze.
This night, had the City Lord issued his order for Xiao Tianyu’s sake?
