Chapter 961 Xuan Bo
''I'll have to fight everyone here?'' Shun Long was briefly taken aback by the old man's declaration, but in his heart, he didn't mind that outcome in the slightest.
After all, the main reasons he had entered the 'Heavenly Tower', were firstly to obtain resources that would aid him in his cultivation, and secondly to test himself against the strongest Dao Kings in this place.
As he climbed up the floors of the tower, he ended up meeting plenty of geniuses ranked in the top 100 of the 'White Tiger chamber of commerce' list, including the yellow-robed Wei Peng, the green-robed Xu Tai, and many geniuses from the eight ancient families. He even got to meet the silver-haired Xing Fei who was ranked in 16th place. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Although he couldn't see the faces or sense the auras of the people around him, Shun Long could tell that everyone else who was now at the peak of this mountain must be ranked even higher than Xing Fei.
Naturally, it would be a lie if Shun Long said he wasn't interested in sparring with those people. After all, how could he not be curious about the strongest geniuses the central region had to offer? Nodding his head, he didn't say anything else and simply closed his eyes and began to meditate, as he waited for time to pass.
In the blink of an eye a week had already gone by, but surprisingly, from the eleven, no, ten people who were still in deep meditation at the mountain peak, nobody else seemed to have waken up within this time.
During this past week, Shun Long had also chatted with the old man quite a few times, and had ended up noticing a few important details that he hadn't paid as much attention to the first time around.
First, the purple-robed old man was actually someone who enjoyed long chats quite a bit.
Of course, the part about the 'Imperial Mandate sect' being relatively strong and them governing a single world was most likely true, but the path about them being an overlord of the 'Immortal Dimension' was definitely exaggerated.
It wasn't that Shun Long was looking down on the sect, but he knew that the top powers of the 'Immortal Dimension' ruled over a handful of powerful worlds at the same time!
As for this 'Imperial Mandate sect', although the sect most likely wasn't weak, if it was compared to the peak powers of the 'Immortal Dimension', it would only be considered a second-rate power at the end of the day.
Otherwise, there was no way that neither Shun Long nor Little Black wouldn't have heard of its name in the past unless it was one of those peak powers that was hidden away for an untold amount of years.
The next thing that Shun Long noticed was another relatively important detail that made things even more interesting for the upcoming seventh trial. Apparently, Shun Long wasn't the only person the bald old man would strike a conversation with this past week.
Among the eleven people surrounding the mountain peak in a semi-circle, there was one other blurry figure that consistently attracted the old man's attention.
Although this person's appearance was hazy and still obscured by the mysterious veil, making it impossible for Shun Long to find out anything about him from far away, the old man seemed amused by the sudden interest that both Shun Long and the blurry figure had for one another and started to let out some hints about their identities.
Soon, Shun Long found out, that the mysterious person the old man would talk to was actually a peak-stage Dao Emperor and the first person to successfully pass the sixth trial before him.
He was the one ranked first in the 'Heavenly Rankings' previously, the most illustrious Dao Emperor who had entered the 'City of Immortals' this time: Xuan Bo!
