“Taiping, this is the list of all cultivators who have reached the eighth floor of the Mysterious Wilderness Tower in the past three years. You keep it well.”
　　Inside the main peak’s discussion hall of the Qingxuan Sect, Sect Master Zhao Qian handed a jade slip to Xu Taiping.
　　“Thank you, Sect Master.”
　　Xu Taiping took the jade slip with both hands.
　　He only used his spiritual sense to sense it, and the faces with names and surnames in the jade slip immediately emerged in his mind.
　　And among these faces, there were actually Second Senior Brother Dugu Qingxing, as well as Senior Sister Jiang Zhi and Zhao Linglong.
　　“Senior Brother and Senior Sister, they actually all reached the eighth floor.”
Xu Taiping gave a wry smile.
　　“Sigh…”
　　Sect Master Zhao Qian sighed, and then waved his hand and said：
　　“Everyone has their own destiny. Since they are determined to take risks to seek opportunities, I can’t stop them either.”
　　Although he said so, Xu Taiping could still see a thick worry in Zhao Qian’s eyes.
　　“Don’t worry, Sect Master. Senior Brother and Senior Sister will be fine. Even if something happens, I will definitely bring them back.”
　　Xu Taiping put away the jade slip and then assured Zhao Qian.
　　“Taiping.”
　　Zhao Qian reached out and patted Xu Taiping’s shoulder, and then shook his head and said：
　　“As I just said, since they chose to enter the tower for training, then they are responsible for their own lives and deaths.”
　　Xu Taiping naturally understood that the reason why Zhao Qian said this was just not to put too much pressure on himself.
“Sect Leader, wait for our good news.” Xu Taiping smiled at Zhao Qian. “Don’t forget that I’m the leader of the Golden Scale and am protected by the strongest in the Five Regions.
　　“Hahaha！…”
　　Zhao Qian laughed heartily when he heard this, and then patted his big belly and said：
　　“This time, regardless of whether anyone can reach the top, as long as you can come out of the Mysterious Wilderness Tower safe and sound, I, Zhao Qian, and the other seven Peak Masters will definitely host a banquet for you in the Five Elders Pavilion.”
　　Xu Taiping also smiled when he heard this.
　　After this closed-door cultivation, the confidence in his heart was much stronger than three years ago.
　　“Moreover, the more than three hundred people who are going to rush to the top together this time are all geniuses and heroes in the Five Regions. Even if I can’t reach the top, someone among them will definitely be able to do it.”
　　He thought to himself like this.
　　And just as he was thinking like this, the Sect Leader Zhao Qian who was standing beside him suddenly transmitted a voice to him and said：
　　“Taiping, the following words, you just listen to them yourself and don’t make a sound.”
　　As soon as he heard this, Xu Taiping immediately picked up the jade slip in his hand as if nothing had happened and pretended to be looking at the jade slip.
　　Immediately, he heard Zhao Qian who had turned his back to look outside the hall transmit a voice to him and say：
　　“The Nine Mansions recently received intelligence from Youyun Mansion that a group of demon cultivators from Jiuyuan have already sneaked into Zhenwu Heaven secretly.”
　　“Fortunately, due to the Zhenwu Barrier, their number is not large and their cultivation bases are not strong either.”
　　“But their target is very clear, which is you, Taiping.”
　　Hearing this, Xu Taiping slightly frowned.
　　Although he had long been mentally prepared for the fact that Jiuyuan would attack him outside the tower, when this day really came, he still couldn’t help but feel a little nervous in his heart.
　　Then, only hearing Sect Master Zhao Qian continue to transmit the voice and say：
　　“Therefore, I suggest that you, Taiping, can leave a clone in Qiyuexuan, and the true body can choose another place to retreat and hide.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded without showing any expression.
　　He thought the sect master’s proposal was good.
　　“Sect Master, do you want me to leave my true body in Shoufeng？”
　　Xu Taiping transmitted the voice to Sect Master Zhao Qian and asked.
　　“No, there is a place safer than here.”
　　Zhao Qian walked to the side of Xu Taiping without showing any expression.
　　“Where？”
　　Xu Taiping was a little curious.
　　“Mowang Peak.”
　　Zhao Qian transmitted the voice and said.
　　Hearing the name “Mowang Peak”, Xu Taiping’s eyes suddenly lit up.
　　Because this Mowang Peak is the dojo of his master, Sansan Jushi, that is, Sword Nine Lü Daoxuan, the grand-uncle of Qingxuan Sect.
　　“There are hundreds of flying swords left by your junior uncle on Mo Wang Peak to guard it. Even if the people from the Nine Abysses find you, they will still protect your safety.”
　　Zhao Qian transmitted his voice to explain.
　　“Thank you, Sect Master.”
　　Xu Taiping slightly bowed.
　　He was very satisfied with Zhao Qian’s arrangement.
And Zhao Qian quietly handed a token made of refined gold and iron into Xu Taiping’s hand. Then he turned around and let out a long sigh. Then, he transmitted his voice and said, “Actually, before your junior uncle entered the You Xuan Cave, he had already entrusted this Mountain Lord Token to me and asked me to find an opportunity to give it to you. I just didn’t expect that it would be delayed until now.”
　　“The Mountain Lord of Mo Wang Peak in Yunlu Mountain will be you, Xu Taiping, from now on. Those flying swords in the mountain are all the old partners who have gone through life and death with your junior uncle. When you go there, they will definitely be happy.”
　　“Go.”
　　Xu Taiping, who tightly held the token, was stunned for a moment. Then he silently bowed again to express his gratitude.
　　……
　　That night.
　　“Xu Taiping, did the Sect Master really give you the Mountain Lord Token of Mo Wang Peak？”
　　In the “whooshing” wind, Bai Yu, who revealed his true body, asked Xu Taiping while flapping his wings and gliding.
　　“Hmm.”
　　Xu Taiping, who was sitting on Bai Yu’s back, took out the Mountain Lord Token, looked at it, and then nodded.
　　“Headmaster Zhao is really being generous this time. Many elders before just wanted to go into secluded cultivation on Forget-Me-Not Peak, but he didn’t allow it. Now he actually directly gives the Peak Master Token to you.”
　　Bai Yu said rather curiously.
　　How could he know that the reason why Xu Taiping could obtain the Peak Master Token was not because Zhao Qian was being generous, but because their grand-uncle of the Azure Profound Sect was actually the Three-Three Hermit who taught Xu Taiping swordsmanship and was Xu Taiping’s real master.
　　For the time being, Xu Taiping didn’t plan to tell everyone about this matter, so he didn’t explain it to Bai Yu either. Instead, he directly changed the topic and said：
　　“Bai Yu, I see on the list given to me by the headmaster that, apart from the more than three hundred cultivators who have already reached the eighth floor of the Profound Desolation Tower, there are also six or seven hundred cultivators who have now ascended to the seventh floor of the Mysterious Fantasy Tower.”
　　“This is much more than we originally expected.”
　　“Do you know the reason for this？”
　　After reading all the intelligence left by Zhao Qian in the jade slip, he wanted to find someone to ask this question.
　　“Alas…” Bai Yu sighed, “This was all obtained at the cost of the lives of the common people and soldiers in the Profound Desolation Heaven.”
　　“Why do you say that？” Xu Taiping asked very puzzled.
