Chapter 359

Illusory Array

On the highest platform, Lü Nantian, the Master Of The Meteorite, the Imperial Sword Sect Master, Marquis Baichuan, and Marquis Yongsheng were all standing there quietly. They were all staring at the light screen in the sky.

"Brother Lu, I heard that Eldest Heir Lv Yitao's ranking on the Green Emperor Leaderboard has risen by two places again. He has risen from 62th place to 60th place. I'm afraid that Eldest Heir Lv Yitao has already broken through to the Ultimate Five-Wheel Emperor Stage!" The Meteorite Garden master's beautiful eyes moved as she stared at Lv Nantian, who was not far away, and chuckled.

When the Master Of The Meteorite said this, the other three also focused their gazes on Lü Nantian. They had naturally heard about the change in Lü Yitao's ranking on the Azure Emperor Leaderboard. Although they had some guesses in their hearts, they naturally hoped to hear Lü Nantian admit it himself.

Lü Nantian's eyes flashed as he laughed, "Sister Meteorite is indeed smart. Everyone should know that the minimum requirement to reach the 60th place on the Azure Emperor Leaderboard is the Ultimate Emperor Stage. Since Tao 'er is ranked 60th, there is no doubt about his strength."

"First Heir is indeed the number one genius of Muqin County!

He can be considered as the third genius from the eight great counties to enter the top 60 of the Azure Emperor List. Although his strength can't compare to the two monstrous geniuses from the Frozen Ice County and the Flowing Flame County, there isn't much of a difference! "The Master of the Meteorite Garden said with a sigh.

"Yes!

The Crown Prince is indeed extremely talented. Geniuses from the eight great counties who can enter the top 60 of the Azure Emperor Leaderboard are considered extremely monstrous existences. It's a pity that no one has entered the top 65 of the Azure Emperor Leaderboard until now. "The sect master of the Imperial Sword School, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.

The Azure Xuan Empire had a total of nine great counties. Among them, the Imperial Capital County, where the Azure Emperor resided, was the center of the empire. At the same time, it had the largest territory and countless monstrous geniuses. The top 65 monstrous geniuses were basically all from the Imperial Capital County.

There were a total of 655 monstrous geniuses on the Azure Emperor Rankings, and almost half of them were from the Imperial City. This was enough to show how powerful and prosperous the Imperial City was.

Apart from the Imperial Capital County, the other eight counties basically followed the lead of the Imperial Capital County. Among them, the Icebound County and the Flowing Flame County were the two strongest counties after the Imperial Capital County. Next to these two counties was Mu Qin County. Originally, in the top fifteen of the Azure Emperor Ranking List, only the monstrous geniuses of the Icebound County and the Flowing Flame County had entered the rankings. They were ranked eleventh and thirteenth respectively. Now, Lv Yitao had entered the top fifteen, which could be considered as giving Mu Qin County a lot of face.

"Speaking of which, the Imperial Capital County is really too powerful. Even if the combined strength of all eight counties is combined, I'm afraid it's still no match for the Imperial Capital County!"

Marquis Baichuan sighed. When he mentioned the Imperial Capital Prefecture, his face was filled with awe.

Looking at the gloomy atmosphere around him, Lü Nantian smiled and said, "It's natural for the Imperial Capital County to be powerful. After all, that place is personally overseen by the Qing Emperor. If it still can't compare to our eight counties, then wouldn't it be a real joke?"

"That's true. After all, the entire Qing Xuan Empire was founded by the Qing Emperor alone!

I heard that the Qing Emperor is the only Emperor Realm powerhouse in our Qing Xuan Empire. The county overseen by such a powerhouse is bound to be a place with outstanding talents. There's nothing for us to be envious of. "The somewhat effeminate Marquis Yongsheng raised his orchid fingers and said softly.

"Yes!

Actually, I don't care much about this battle for the Vitality Tower. Instead, I care about the upcoming Battle of the Nine Counties. That's the real cruel battle, and it's a cruel battle between monstrous geniuses!

If there are geniuses in our Mu Qin County who can stand out in that battle, then it's really a blessing for our Mu Qin County. "Lü Nantian suddenly said seriously.

"Brother Lü is right!

For us, the real challenge should be the Battle of the Nine Counties. That's a world war personally overseen by the Qing Emperor. Those who perform well will not only be conferred the title of Marquis by the Qing Emperor, but they will also be rewarded with extremely precious treasures like the Heaven Rank Spirit Treasure. Apart from that, there are also countless resources! "The Master Of The Meteorite said with some yearning.

When they heard about the Heaven Rank Spirit Treasure, a trace of hope and desire appeared in the eyes of the other four people on the platform. The Heaven Rank Spirit Treasure was an even more powerful Spirit Treasure. Its might far surpassed that of an Earth Rank Spirit Treasure. Even the five experts on the platform who had seen a lot of things coveted and desired such a Spirit Treasure.

Compared to the calm outside of the Yuan Qi Tower, the inside of the Yuan Qi Tower was rather tragic. On the numerous islands in the endless ocean of the first level of the Yuan Qi Tower, numerous practitioners were constantly fighting and risking their lives. All of the practitioners were tense as they explored the unknown territory of the island step by step, hoping to find the control center of the island.

On the endless desert of the Sandstone Island, there were three figures slowly walking in this endless sea of sand. These three figures were Zhuowen, Gu Xin, and Hu Wuying of Rattan Armor City.

"Zhuowen!

This sea of sand is endless. We can't see the end of it at all. We've already walked for half a day, but we still haven't seen the slightest trace of human habitation. We haven't even seen a decent building. "Strolling on the sand, Gu Xin suddenly complained.

The three of them had already been on the Sandstone Island for more than half a day. During this time, the three of them had basically been rushing in the same direction without stopping. However, to their disappointment, this desert seemed to have no end. Apart from the overlapping hills, there was not even a blade of grass growing.

Zhuowen's brows were also tightly knitted. He felt that something was very wrong with this desert, but he couldn't tell what it was!

After thinking for a while, Zhuowen took out two jade tokens from his Qiankun bag and handed them to Gu Xin and Hu Wuying, saying, "These two jade tokens contain the aura I left behind. The area of this desert is probably quite vast. The three of us are really too slow. I'll go out and investigate first. If I can find some clues, I'll follow the aura on these jade tokens to find you. How about it?"

Gu Xin and Hu Wuying heard this and immediately nodded in agreement. Zhuowen was the strongest and had many tricks up his sleeves. It was the wisest choice to let him go out and investigate.

"Brother Zhuo, we'll listen to everything you say!

We'll wait for you here, but you have to be careful, "Gu Xin and Hu Wuying took the jade tokens and said rather cautiously.

Zhuowen nodded when he heard this. Then, he gently stomped his foot on the ground and two pairs of lightning wings suddenly sprouted from his back. They were the Lightning Serpent Wings and the Lightning Serpent Wings. Then, Zhuowen lightly stomped his foot and directly turned into a lightning shadow and disappeared in front of Gu Xin and Hu Wuying, leaving behind only a somewhat ear-piercing sound of thunder.

"Brother Zhuo's Lightning Wings Secret Technique is really enviable!

I'm afraid that his speed is much faster than an ordinary ultimate Emperor Realm expert! "Hu Wuying looked at Zhuowen in the distance and said rather enviously.

"I, Gu Xin, rarely admire people, but Brother Zhuo has made me admire him!

Whether it is in terms of strength or temperament, I'm far inferior to him.

The two of us are too weak, so we can't always rely on Brother Zhuo's protection. We also need to improve our strength as soon as possible. I don't want to become a burden to Brother Zhuo at a critical time, "Gu Xin said rather seriously.

After saying this, Gu Xin sat cross-legged on the ground and began to absorb the rich Yuan Qi in the surroundings to cultivate.

Seeing Gu Xin like this, Hu Wuying naturally didn't want to fall behind. He also sat cross-legged on the sand and silently cultivated …

Whoosh!

Above the endless yellow sand, a bolt of lightning flashed and disappeared. Then, it stopped at the top of a rock wall that was almost weathered and full of holes, revealing a slender figure.

"I still can't see the end!

After using the Lightning Serpent Wings and Lightning Flood Dragon Wings, even some ultimate Emperor Realm experts can't compare to my speed. Moreover, I can travel thousands of miles in the blink of an eye. I've been flying at this speed for nearly four hours, but I still can't see the edge of this desert. What's going on? "Zhuowen stood on the rock wall and felt even more puzzled.

"Kid!

Can't you see that you've already fallen into an illusion?

Actually, it's not that this desert is endless, but that you're basically walking in the same place and haven't moved much! "Xiao Hei's voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

"An illusion?

No wonder I can't fly out of this desert for so long. It turns out that I've already fallen into an illusion!

But why is there an illusion here?

Could it be a trap set by the teams from other cities? "Zhuowen was shocked when he heard this.

"That shouldn't be possible!

Because the moment the three of you entered this sandstone island, you fell into an illusion. How could the teams from other cities predict that you would appear here?

Moreover, an illusion of this level is rather powerful. It's not something that can be set up in a short period of time. "Xiao Hei's voice contained some thought.

"Since they aren't cultivators from other cities, who else could have set up an illusion of this level?" Zhuowen's brows furrowed even more tightly.

"Aren't there many ancient survivors living on this island?

Perhaps these formations were set up by those ancient survivors! "Xiao Hei suddenly said.

"Ancient survivors?"

Zhuowen's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. Since they weren't cultivators from other cities, it was very likely that they were ancient survivors who had originally lived on this sandstone island.

Right now, Zhuowen wasn't familiar with this sandstone island at all. He was basically groping around in the dark. In such an unfamiliar environment, how was Zhuowen supposed to find the so-called control center of the entire island?

The ancient survivors of this island were the natives of this place. If Zhuowen could find these ancient survivors, he might be able to gain a deeper understanding of this island. Moreover, he might even be able to obtain a valuable map from them.
