Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

"Mr. Ji..."

Whether it was an illusion or something else, Zhao Chengji felt that there was always a deep respect in Xie Dan's voice when he mentioned "Mr. Ji."

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

To earn such respect from the foreign guest of the Wan Dao Commercial Firm, it was not something that just any prodigy from a sect could achieve.

At least...

Their young master couldn't do it.

While he was thinking, Xie Guan dropped a bombshell.

"Mr. Ji is the core guest of the Wan Dao Commercial Firm."

Zhao Chengji's face changed slightly.

"At the same time, he is also a core member of the Thunder Main Hall among the six main halls."

???!!!

"Not only that, five or six years ago, Mr. Ji passed the assessment of the Wan Dao Pavilion and became a core member of the Wan Dao Pavilion. He even made it onto the Huiyue Ranking!"

(.;?;:益:;?;.)

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chengji began to sweat uncontrollably. His legs hidden under his robe were trembling slightly, ready to lose control and run away at any moment.

However, Xie Guan's bombshell was far from over. He leisurely continued,

"And, just two years ago, Mr. Ji not only broke through to become a Five-Star Symbol King, but also reached the top of the Huiyue Ranking, becoming the number one below Soul Formation in the Commercial Firm!"

After saying that...

Xie Guan's eyes began to flicker.

There was a hint of six parts pride, three parts emotion, and one part gratification.

The pride naturally stemmed from the fact that both he and Ji Boying were from Dongzhou and came from the same branch. With Ji Boying's achievements, he naturally felt proud.

The emotion came from the fact that Ji Boying had only been cultivating for a short period of several decades at most, and his time as a guest of the Commercial Firm was even shorter. As for his age, there was no need to mention it.

As for the last bit of gratification...

It was not for Ji Boying, but for his nephew, Xie Shao'an!

That's right, Xie Guan was Xie Shao'an's uncle!

It was precisely because of this relationship that he, as a foreign guest, was able to thrive on the unfamiliar Mingzhu Island.

And all this was achieved without Ji Boying doing anything.

If the latter were to make a move...

One can imagine the treatment he would receive!

However, thinking too much about it was not a good thing. Excessive demands would only lead to trouble.

Just as he was immersed in his own world...

He failed to notice that the two people beside him and across from him had already changed their expressions.

Top of the Huiyue Ranking!

These five words, even though they were irrelevant, made even the simple middleman, the old man with a beard, tremble slightly. Even the spiritual tea in his hand splashed with ripples, ready to spill at any moment.

As for Zhao Chengji, he felt a chill down his spine.

His entire spine seemed to soften.

Like this...

The three of them stayed in the private room for less than two quarters of an hour before leaving one by one.

As for Zhao Chengji, he almost crawled back to the Heavenly Capital City...

Time always passes unnoticed, and the more fulfilling and happy the time, the more it feels this way.

Perhaps one day, when you face your girlfriend or wife, you may feel that a certain period of time was extremely long and you performed well, but in their eyes, no matter how hard you worked or how well you did, they will always feel that you were too fast and time was not enough.

Don't ask me how I know, I'm just guessing randomly.

Because I don't have a girlfriend or wife at all. (I feel proud even though it's not right.)

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosive roars from talismans reverberated continuously in the trial space.

Wherever one looked, there were seas of fire, muddy swamps, vines, mountain walls, and sharp blades, all blending and reacting with each other under dense purple arcs.

Apart from that...

Above the sky, there were three types of thunderballs of varying shades, swirling and lingering like octopuses, emitting dense and dazzling arcs that resembled bright tentacles.

The terrifying energy fluctuations would cause any Soul Formation cultivator who came here to be annihilated in regret and fear!

Even an ordinary Return to Void expert would be severely injured if not killed.

The raging arcs continued to linger for a full quarter of an hour.

After all the colorful lights dissipated, what could be seen was a layer of thick and dazzling black on the originally pristine white square!

Even the extremely hard stone bricks on the ground were gradually carbonized, giving birth to cracks like spider webs, as if they could easily be crushed with a casual touch.

But even so...

In the center of the square, there was still a golden-armored god-like figure over a hundred zhang tall, half-kneeling on the ground, still standing.

Although his flesh and blood had been eroded into a blur by lightning, and his outer armor was in tatters, reduced to scrap metal...

His heavy breathing and violently fluctuating chest were stubbornly declaring that he was still alive!

Seeing this scene, a hint of disappointment involuntarily appeared on Ji Boying's face.

"Still not enough?"

"This time, I really gave it my all, leaving no effort behind..."

As he spoke, Ji Boying bitterly smiled.

Then, under the fist of the golden-armored god-like figure who had already awakened, he exited the ninth floor of the Tower of Ten Thousand Paths.

Three chances.

The first time was a probe.

The second time was serious.

The third time... he went all out!

But in the end, all he managed to do was scratch the golden-armored god-like figure on the ninth floor.

His ranking on the Radiant Moon List remained the same, still at the top. After all, no matter how much progress he made, there was no room for further improvement.

As for the talented individuals chasing closely behind him?

Well... they were indeed chasing closely, but the more they chased, the greater the gap became. Up until now, no one had passed the eighth floor.

And Ji Boying had already severely injured the golden-armored god-like figure on the ninth floor.

Although the strength of the Diamond General on the eighth floor was formidable, compared to the golden-armored god-like figure on the ninth floor, it was more than a star and a half weaker.

Especially when Ji Boying had just passed the eighth floor, he didn't even have a chance to make talismans before being directly expelled from the secret realm by that wicked golden-armored god-like figure.

Later, as Ji Boying gradually improved his swordsmanship and physique, and also practiced some core techniques of the Chamber of Commerce over the past two years, he barely managed to win the opportunity to make talismans in front of the golden-armored god-like figure on the ninth floor.

Now...

In the midst of the latter's intense and violent attacks, Ji Boying was already able to complete three high-quality Sanqing Divine Thunder Talismans.

As for the Lesser Five Thunder Talismans, he could draw more than thirty at once!

This was the result of Ji Boying completely adapting to his Soul Formation-level divine soul.

However...

Even though Ji Boying did everything perfectly.

He still couldn't pass the ninth floor.

Inside the talisman room, Ji Boying rubbed his temples, lying on the floor in a spread-eagle position, but couldn't help but think of the five-year agreement from before...

"This is already the end of the third year. There are only two years left until the deadline of the agreement."

"I wonder... what conditions are required to climb the Daybreak List."

"Perhaps... I have to pass the ninth floor of the Tower of Ten Thousand Paths to find out?"

"It's too difficult!"

Ji Boying let out a mournful cry, then opened his long-unused virtual panel...
