Monarch Of Time

Chapter 946 Fateful meeting

Looking at the 'Immortal-grade cultivation technique' the white-robed man had left behind, Shun Long examined it for a moment before eventually shaking his head and turning his gaze towards the remaining two disappearing figures.

And indeed, just like the white-robed young man, the woman with the scarlet eyes and the young man with the bronze staff seemed to have also left behind a pair of thick booklets.

The young woman's book was burning with soft, white ethereal flames, as the words 'Path of the Setting Sun' were written on its surface. As for the messy-haired man, his book was emitting a radiant golden glow while the words 'World of Limitless Light' were etched on its decrepit cover.

Of course, Shun Long wasn't overly surprised to see 3 'Immortal-grade cultivation techniques'. After all, he understood that suitable cultivation techniques were equally as important as one's talent if someone wanted to go far in the path of cultivation.

Additionally, these weren't even low-grade cultivation techniques, even by the standards of the peak powers of the central region. Shun Long guessed that most likely, throughout the entire central continent, only the 8 ancient families, the 'White Tiger chamber of commerce', and the Tianxuan dynasty would be in possession of any middle-rank 'Immortal-grade cultivation techniques'. Perhaps a few powerful sects would also possess one or two of those techniques, but they would surely treat them as supreme treasures that only their Elders and sect masters would be able to view!

Unfortunately, to Shun Long, these cultivation techniques were no different from trash. Even the 'Rift Convergence' technique the white-robed man had left behind, which was actually an 'Immortal-grade cultivation technique' tailored for cultivators of the 'Dao of Space' was no different.

After all, Shun Long knew that there was no cultivation technique out there that could replace his 'Monarch's Hourglass'.

Besides, whether it was cultivation techniques or martial skills of the Immortal grade, Shun Long knew that he already had an abundance of them thanks to Little Black. The black dragon had hoarded countless rare cultivation techniques and martial skills over the years he and his master roamed the 'Immortal Dimension', storing all of them inside his mind.

As he took a look around him, Shun Long gradually let out a breath before storing the three Immortal-grade techniques inside the 'Stone of Time'. At the very least, he could still sell them in the future or possibly exchange them for treasures of equal value, so it couldn't be said that they were completely worthless after all.

A few moments later, Shun Long's figure disappeared from the ancient forest, allowing silence to descend once more to the once serene, peaceful battlefield.

...

Soon, the usual saturated immortal qi filled his surroundings for the fourth time, as Shun Long found himself at the heart of a familiar vast white hall. He had already gotten so used to this unwanted feeling of forceful teleportation, that he no longer felt disconcerted upon experiencing it.

As he took a look around him though, Shun Long was surprised to spot more than 20 figures present on this floor. The resting area on the third floor only had 15 or so Dao Kings waiting, so it was definitely a surprise to see the fourth floor having even more than that. However, after thinking about it for a bit, Shun Long realized that it also made sense.

After all, back on the third floor, everyone had decided to take on the fourth floor's trial at the same time, so it was to be expected that a few of them would have ended up passing it. Besides, Shun Long didn't know how many people had previously passed the third floor in the first place. After all, the 'Heavenly Tower' had been open for more than half a year, perhaps even more. Who knows, it was possible that the fifth floor would have even more challengers than this one!

 However, unlike the resting areas of the previous 3 floors, Shun Long quickly noticed a vast difference in the atmosphere of this fourth floor.

While a few Dao Kings were indeed sitting on the cold marble floor recovering their qi, the majority of them looked to have gathered in front of the illusionary silver door, discussing something with animated expressions.

Most of them didn't even seem to have noticed the shimmering runes of the small teleportation formation lighting up, their gazes fully focused on the translucent silver door in front of them.

Of course, a few of the resting Dao Kings raised their heads and threw Shun Long a few surprised glances, before eventually focusing on recovering their qi once more.

As he took a look at the people around him, Shun Long also noticed a few familiar faces from the third floor.

The burly, green-robed young man from the Xu family, Xu Tai seemed to have successfully passed and reached the fourth floor, alongside the one who had instigated everything, the blue-robed Chen Yating.

However, Shun Long didn't see Wei Peng's figure among the surrounding Dao Kings. It was unknown if that young master of the Wei family was still challenging the fourth trial, or if he had failed and had returned back to the third floor.

As for Liu Mei, Jiang Chen, Bai Longtian, and Xingyi, they didn't seem to have reached this floor yet... or perhaps were already ahead on the fifth floor.

Nevertheless, there was one particular figure inside the hall that Shun Long ultimately focused his gaze on.

It was a certain young man in black robes, with spiky black hair and sharp facial features, sitting quietly and listening to the discussion around him in front of the silver door.

As he stared at the black-robed man, Shun Long's lips tugged into a rare, extremely cold smile.

In the next moment, he no longer suppressed his killing intent, as a horrifying, monstrous aura burst out from his body and filled the entire hall.

Every single Dao King inside the white hall seemed to have been alerted by the sudden change, as they all turned their gazes towards the azure-robed youth at the center of the hall.

However, Shun Long didn't pay attention to any of them and calmly took a step forward, heading towards the black-robed man in front of the silver door.

Of course, this person had been the same one who had sneak attacked him in the 'Illusion Oasis' and ended up almost killing him, as well as someone ranked in the top 100 Dao Kings in the 'White Tiger chamber of commerce's' rankings... the black-robed Guo Chen!
