Ling Lunan shook his head, ”Regarding the second question, you are definitely the one that is wrong. Ji Feiqian obtained the Universal Staircase, not some Heaven Seeking Staircase. The reason why I know about it is related to your first question. Back when Ji Feiqian escaped, there was another person with him; that person is my Gods Immortal Sect’s founding ancestor.

Back then, the place that Ji Feiqian and my Gods Immortal Sect founding ancestor escaped to is where my Gods Immortal Sect stands today. Thereafter, Ji Feiqian used some secret method to leave the Immortal World. He said that he was from Zhen Xing; so he wanted to return to his roots. On the other hand, my founding ancestor established the Gods Immortal Sect. Then, the Gods Tower opened once more. My founding ancestor entered the Gods Tower once more; thereafter, there was no longer any news about him.”

”You want to save your Gods Immortal Sect’s founding ancestor?” Mo Wuji asked in doubt.

”No,” Ling Lunan answered, ”I’m here to save my ancestor. After the Immortal World stabilised and divided to form the various Immortal Domains, my ancestor also entered the Gods Tower. Because my ancestor was from the same bloodline as the founding ancestor, he was able to obtain a part of the location of the immortal sealing array. He went to search for my founding ancestor, but there was also no further news from him.”

”Then how do you know that your ancestor is also trapped in the immortal sealing array?” Mo Wuji asked.

This time, Ling Lunan didn’t answer. Clearly, this involved some secrets of his sect.

Mo Wuji did not mind either. Instead, he brought his Immortal Seeking Token out and asked, ”Immortal Friend Ling, do you know what is the function of the Universal Staircase?”

Out of Mo Wuji’s expectations, Ling Lunan nodded, ”I know a bit of it. It’s said that the Universal Staircase is a ranking board. No matter what world or domain it appears in, it would be that world’s number one ranking board. Moreover, it’s rumoured that if you reach the 36th level of Gods Tower, you could borrow the Universal Staircase to refine the stone tablet of Gods Tower.”

Mo Wuji jolted; could it be that he was still not at the 36th level?

Seeing Mo Wuji’s astonishment, Ling Lunan thought that Mo Wuji was regretting that he didn’t refine the Universal Staircase. He explained, ”Back when you discovered the Universal Staircase, your cultivation wouldn’t have been high enough to refine the Universal Staircase. You probably wouldn’t have even be able to do anything about it, so there’s no need for you to feel so disappointed. Let’s take a step back, even if you refined the Universal Staircase, you wouldn’t be able to enter the 36th level of Gods Tower.”

”That means that the Universal Peak Token that I have is not from the Gods Tower?” Mo Wuji started examining his Universal Peak Token. It seemed to contain the boundless starry space.

”No. According to what I’ve heard, the Universal Peak Token and the Universal Staircase were brought here by an expert that took part in the War of the Gods. After that expert died, the Universal Staircase was picked up by Ji Feiqian. As for the Universal Peak Token, if the Universal Staircase gets brought to a different world and stabilises, your Universal Peak Token will disappear and return back to the Universal Staircase. The Universal Staircase will then become the number one ranking board of that new world.” Ling Lunan was clearly more knowledgeable than Mo Wuji regarding this matter.

”But the Universal Peak Token is able to reflect the situation at each level of Gods Tower?” Mo Wuji said; he really didn’t believe that the Universal Peak Token was not related to Gods Tower.

Ling Lunan smiled slightly, ”Actually, every time the Universal Staircase comes to a certain world, the Universal Peak Token would contain the perfect positions and bearings within that world. Otherwise, how could it become the number one board?”

So it’s like that. Mo Wuji hurriedly retrieved a positioning ball and inscribed the positions of the different levels of the Gods Tower. If his Universal Peak Token were to suddenly disappear, he would, at the very least, still be able to find his way around.

Waiting for Mo Wuji to translate the Universal Peak Token to a positioning ball, Ling Lunan said, ”Brother Mo, why don’t we enter this immortal sealing array?”

Mo Wuji was slightly hesitatant. He made an agreement with that elderly fisherman; that is, he would help when he had the capabilities to do so. But this immortal sealing array was releasing such a daunting and boundless pressure; would he be able to escape if he entered?

Seemingly seeing through Mo Wuji’s hesitation, Ling Lunan clasped his fists and said, ”Immortal Friend Mo, if you don’t want to enter, you can stay here and wait for me. Give this Immortal Seeking Token to me, and when I return, I will definitely return it to Pill Master Mo.”

Mo Wuji, who was still hesitating, said, ”It’s nothing. Let’s go in together.”

He did agree with the white-whiskered old man that he would do it when he had the capability. He did have the ability; at the very least, the dangers hadn’t appeared. The moment there was any danger, he could simply retreat. If he were to not enter simply because he was afraid, then he would be infringing on the agreement.

”Good.” Ling Lunan stepped into the space between those two longswords.

Mo Wuji also walked in, holding his Immortal Seeking Token. A suffocating pressure immediately enveloped him. Mo Wuji was not able to breath. This wasn’t a simple lack of oxygen; he wasn;t even able to activate the spiritual energy within his body. If he spent too much time here, even an immortal would die of asphyxiation.
