He has opened up another path to immortal cultivation for all mortals in Yuantian Continent. With this merit, he can ascend to the upper realm with peace of mind.

Shui Wuhen suddenly remembered that he had once decided that if he could ascend to heaven through merit, he would tell his good friend Qin Yu about this shortcut.

Then, he searched the crowd below and soon saw Qin Yu with an envious look on his face.

Just when he wanted to send a message to Qin Yu, telling him to get some luck from Xiao Han and find a way to accumulate merit, he suddenly thought, if he deliberately went to get some luck and accumulate merit, would the way of heaven really recognize this method?

Are merits that are so filled with utilitarianism still true merits?

So, how could he be recognized by the Heavenly Dao and allowed to ascend to heaven based on this utilitarian merit?

The ladder beside his feet made a rumbling sound, as if urging him to step up quickly.

Shui Wuhen had a serious expression on his face, his gaze shifting from the ladder at his feet to the sky that was shining with visions of ascension.

Everything was so real, exactly the same as what he had seen when he ascended to heaven.

But a mocking smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

It turns out that there are so many loopholes in my heart of Taoism, and it turns out that the desires deep in my heart are no less than those of a Qigong cultivator.

At this moment, the ladder to heaven and all the ascending celestial phenomena began to melt and dissipate, just like frost exposed to the scorching sun.

The next moment, Shui Wuhen found that he was still standing in the snow.

But the next moment, his eyes went dark, and when he could see everything clearly again, he found himself standing outside the black tower.

There were dense crowds of onlookers all around. There was no sign of ascending to the sky in the void, only an ugly black hole.

Ji Shuang, Xuanyuan Heng, and Yun Que flew towards him together.

This situation is so familiar.

No, Xiao Han is not among the people who came.

"Fellow Daoist Shui, what did you see in the Black Tower?"

It was Ji Shuang who couldn't wait to ask questions.

Shui Wuhen looked at the three people in front of him, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether he had already left the black tower or was still in the illusion.

Then, he asked, as if possessed by a ghost, "Where's Xiao Han?"

Ji Shuang replied, "She is talking to Tianjizi." Then she glanced around, but did not see Xiao Han and Tianjizi.

Yun Que said, "Xiao Han was taken away by Tianjizi. I don't know what he's doing."

Her mind was focused on the black tower just now, and she only glanced at the two people when they left. As for why they left, she didn't pay attention.

Shui Wuhen wanted to ask more, but suddenly heard a roar from the crowd, "Get out of the way, this black tower is mine, it recognizes me as its master, I have the innate spiritual treasure, hahahaha..."

This was an old cultivator in the realm of refining emptiness. He laughed wildly and rushed towards the black tower.

His companions hurriedly stopped him and said, "Old Zhao, what are you crazy about?"

A companion who was also in the Void Refinement Realm wanted to stop him, but was slapped away by the cultivator named Zhao.

The unsuspecting companion cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

No one stopped him, and the monk surnamed Zhao pounced towards the black tower, but was violently bounced back when he was about a hundred feet away from the black tower.

Then, he fell into the dense crowd of low-level monks behind him.

However, what was unexpected was that as soon as he stood firm, he slapped a Nascent Soul cultivator next to him with his palm.

"Get out of here! Who the hell are you? How dare you compete with me for the innate spiritual treasure?"

How could this Yuanying cultivator avoid the unreserved palm strike from the Lianxu cultivator?

He didn't even have time to scream before he was beaten into a pile of meat paste by the other party and fell into the sea of ​​sand below.

All this happened in just a moment. The three Mahayana cultivators only realized that something was wrong at this moment. They attacked at the same time and instantly imprisoned the Void Refining cultivator.

Then, before the three of them could make the next move, a female cultivator in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm suddenly stabbed a male cultivator in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm next to her with a sword.

The female cultivator said with a ferocious expression, "You have oppressed me for years, and now I finally have the strength to deal with you. I don't want to stay by your side anymore, give me your life!"

She also attacked suddenly, and the male cultivator standing next to him was caught off guard and was instantly stabbed through by the sword in the female cultivator's hand.

The three Mahayana monks quickly took action again and imprisoned the female monk.

After two murders occurred in succession, the faces of all the monks watching the Black Tower changed, and then everyone fled in all directions, keeping a certain distance from the people around them.

Ji Shuang waved her hand, and the two imprisoned monks flew in front of the four people.

Yun Que took a closer look at them, his expression suddenly grim as he said, "This is the growth of inner demons. They've gone astray."

The three Mahayana monks looked at the two people who were imprisoned but had crazy eyes and were struggling non-stop, and their faces showed solemn expressions.

Ji Shuang and Xuanyuan Heng looked at Shui Wuhen together and asked almost at the same time, "Have you found any clues in the Black Tower?"

Shui Wuhen thought of the ladder to heaven that he almost stepped on, and a flash of embarrassment crossed his face.

"What appeared inside were illusions and tests of the inner demon. So, I guess this disaster might be related to the inner demon."

These words made the hearts of the three people present sink.

Whether it is the plague, zombies or demon insects, these things are at least out in the open and are always easier to deal with.

But if it is a disaster related to inner demons, even if they have cultivation skills, they cannot imprison all the cultivators who have gone astray in the world.

Ji Shuang immediately looked at Yun Que, "Did there ever happen to be large-scale infestations of demonic spirits in ancient times, causing many cultivators to go astray?"

Yun Que shook his head. "There are many kinds of inner demons. I rarely hear of such a large-scale incident of inner demon invasion."

Xuanyuan Heng suddenly said, "Could it be that these two people's sudden obsession is related to this black tower?"

After all, in some specific situations, such as when being invaded by evil spirits, some monks with weak minds will go astray.

Ji Shuang glanced at the black tower and said, "That shouldn't be the case. After all, none of us have sensed any evil aura from it that could affect one's Dao heart."

Shui Wuhen suddenly asked, "Where did Tianjizi and Xiao Han go?"

This old Taoist has always been a weird person, so maybe he can have a different opinion.

He immediately took out his communication magic weapon to contact Tianjizi, but just one sentence from Tianjizi startled the three people present again.

"I'm a thousand miles southeast of the Black Pagoda. Xiao Han has gone astray, and I'm guarding her right now."

Shui Wuhen immediately swept his spiritual sense across and soon found the figures of Tianjizi and Xiao Han.

His figure flashed and he immediately disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, Shui Wuhen appeared beside Tianjizi.

Xiao Han, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, did not lose control of himself like the two monks on the black tower.

Although her eyes were sometimes dull, sometimes red, and her expression was ferocious, she sat upright and motionless.

Obviously, she is fighting a fierce battle with the demons deep in her heart, and she has not lost yet.

Tianjizi saw Shui Wuhen coming over and immediately said anxiously: "I don't know what happened to Xiao Xiao. I just asked who threw the Tongling Pagoda here. Could it be a real immortal, and then she went crazy."

Tianjizi felt very wronged. He really didn't say anything eye-opening, so why did Xiao Han go crazy?

Shui Wuhen said with a heavy heart: "It's not your fault, the disaster has already come."
