Regarding the next trial on the tenth floor, the cultivators on the field more or less knew something about it.
For example, to pass the tenth floor of the Mysterious Desolation Tower, one must defeat the Seven Evils guarding inside the Octagonal Tower one by one, and then fight against the Saber Slave under the command of the Mysterious Desolation Great Emperor.
And the challenge time is limited and must be completed within half an hour.
If you go alone, it means that you have to defeat seven powerhouses in a row within half an hour, and then fight against that Saber Slave of the Mysterious Desolation Great Emperor.
This difficulty may be even greater than breaking out of the Snow Region alone.
After all, that is the Saber Slave of the Mysterious Desolation Great Emperor. In ancient times, he could be ranked among the top ten powerhouses in the entire Upper Clear Realm.
Even if most of his cultivation base is sealed and he doesn’t have full preparations, in the same realm, it is impossible to be his opponent.
However, just like the Snow Region level, when challenging the Seven Evils of the Octagonal Tower, if you can obtain a token similar to the Iron Armor Order, you can lead a team to challenge together.
As long as the subordinates can fight against the Seven Evils on each floor ten times and not be defeated, the main general can go up one floor.
So this floor is actually the same as the ninth floor. The more powerhouses under one’s command, the more likely one is to succeed.
So it is actually reasonable for the Third Prince, who has long gathered a group of powerhouses, to choose to break away from the Azure Dragon Armors at this time.
Thus, for a moment, all the cultivators on the cliff looked at Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping looked at Third Prince Chu Yinan calmly for a moment, and then nodded slightly without much hesitation and said：
“You’re right, Third Prince.”
As he spoke, he picked up the Azure Dragon Token and ordered the Third Prince and the several cultivators behind him without hesitation：
“From this moment on, you are no longer Azure Dragon Armors, and you can come and go freely within the Mysterious Desolation Tower.”
As soon as the words fell, the armors on the dozen or so people including Chu Yinan peeled off one after another and returned to the appearance of cultivators.
This scene caught Gu Qingcheng and another group of Azure Dragon Armors somewhat off guard.
Gu Qingcheng never expected that Xu Taiping would agree so simply.
“Young Master, before you relieved their Azure Dragon Armor status, at least expel them from the tower first. After all, from now on, they will be opponents of yours.”
Gu Qingcheng transmitted his voice to Xu Taiping in confusion.
Not only Gu Qingcheng, but also Old Zhang, Zhai Mo and others also transmitted their voices to Xu Taiping one after another. Most of the words were also Confused about Xu Taiping’s actions.
Xu Taiping didn’t transmit his voice to answer one by one, but looked at the Azure Dragon Armors behind him very seriously and said：
“Before climbing the tower this time, I have already said that no matter who can finally reach the twelfth floor of the Mysterious Desolation Tower, it will be a good thing for the Upper Clear Realm and for the Mysterious Desolation Heaven.”
So if any of you have the confidence and the means to defeat the Seven Evils and better than the Knife Slave I can take off your armor for you.”
“Also, you don’t have to worry. The military achievements you have obtained through the Azure Dragon Armor, I will not deduct a single bit.”
As soon as these words were spoken, all three hundred Azure Dragon Armors had expressions of surprise on their faces.
Xu Taiping agreed to take off the armor because he was afraid of being stigmatized as untrustworthy, and they could understand that.
But the fact that he not only took the initiative to take off the armor for everyone, but also was willing to leave the military achievements to everyone, they didn’t quite understand.
However, cultivators like Du Gu Qingxiao and Zhao Linglong who knew Xu Taiping, after hearing these words from Xu Taiping, instead became relieved about Xu Taiping’s previous act of taking off the armor for Chu Yinan and others.
“It’s not arrogance, nor is it conceit, nor is it simple and without guile. Even so close to the top of the tower, even in the face of the temptation of the secret treasure left by the Mysterious Desolation Great Emperor, from beginning to end, he has not abandoned his original intention.”
For some reason, Gu Qingcheng felt a sense of respect for this young cultivator in front of him who still had the spirit of a young person .
And Yun Ye and Luo Cheng, after hearing these words, at first also had expressions of surprise on their faces, but immediately afterwards, ashamed expressions appeared on their faces.
The two of them were originally still struggling with how to ask Xu Taiping to remove their armors for them. Unexpectedly, the other party didn’t have the slightest intention of forcibly keeping them.
The reason why they were “struggling” was not because they were too thin-skinned to speak up, but because after seeing Xu Taiping’s previous performance, they had already given birth to the idea of following him in their hearts.
However, the problem was that according to the instructions of their respective sects before coming here, before entering the tenth floor of the Mysterious Wilderness Tower, they had to get rid of the identity of the Azure Dragon Armor and then gather a team of cultivators each and climb the tower alone.
But for cultivators, especially cultivators like them with spotless minds, once they go against their original intentions, when they try to break through to the Illusory Realm, there is a high probability that a heart demon will be born, and eventually the Dao heart will collapse, and they will have no chance to progress further.
”Thank you, Brother Taiping, for your understanding！”
”Thank you！”
After a long time, Luo Cheng of the Three Sovereigns Dao Palace and Yun Ye of the Eight Sceneries Dao Palace successively cupped their hands and thanked Xu Taiping.
……
Inside the Eight Sceneries Dao Palace.
”It seems that we all guessed wrong.”
Yun Shiliu smiled and turned to look at the old cultivator hidden in the fog beside her.
”Hmm.”
The old cultivator in the fog nodded.
”Don’t forget the original intention, and you can achieve the end. No wonder this son was chosen by that one.”
After a long time, he added another sentence.
”Yes, the words ‘don’t forget the original intention’ are simple to say, but there are very few who can stick to it consistently.”
Yun Shiliu nodded, approving of the old monk’s statement.
“These two youngsters, if they can follow their hearts and follow Xu Taiping, the Great Dao may not be out of reach in the future, but with this retreat today, they have cut off their own future.”
The old monk sighed at this time and said.
“There’s no way around it. After so many years of peace, not only the sects at the foot of the mountain, but even the disciples of the two Taoist palaces on the mountain have become extremely mediocre.”
Yun Shiliu also sighed.
“The battle of the Heavenly Demons is imminent. After the matter of the Mysterious Desolation Pagoda is settled, we have to think of a way to let these brats who have lived a peaceful life for too long have a long memory.”
The old monk said in a somewhat low tone.
When Yun Shiliu on the side heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, a smile on his face and said:
“Old Palace Master, you’d better consider it after this matter is settled.”
……
Inside the Mysterious Desolation Pagoda.
“Brother Mu Yun, you’re not leaving, are you？”
Looking at the three hundred Azure Dragon Armors that had already scattered almost completely, and then looking at Mu Yun who was still in front of him, Xu Taiping suddenly asked Mu Yun and his sister curiously.
