A Useless Person's Rise to Power: The Demon King's Addiction to Pampering

Now, Xuanji Zi is certain that the owner of the Phoenix Tower is Mo Shaoxie, but he doesn't dare to tell Feng Jiutian.

However, he was also relieved, since he was certain that Mo Shaoxie wouldn't harm his disciple. Xuanji Zi didn't say much more and entered the Void Spirit Cauldron to begin recording Li Chi's skin.

At this moment, a circle of light appeared in front of Feng Jiutian. He had already walked through this circle of light twice, so he naturally recognized that it was a staircase leading to the next level.

Without hesitation, Feng Jiutian stepped inside. His vision went black, but he felt a force pushing him upwards. With this force, Feng Jiutian leaped up and his vision immediately became bright again.

Feng Jiutian looked around and saw that the surroundings were desolate, seemingly in a desert.

Feng Jiutian was a little surprised; how come the fourth level was so different in style from the previous three?

Suddenly, an old man in black appeared in front of Feng Jiutian without warning.

Although Feng Jiutian couldn't sense any aura from the old man, he knew that this person was definitely not someone who hadn't cultivated; rather, his level was too high for him to see through.

The old man in black looked at Feng Jiutian indifferently, then said, "I am the guardian of the fourth level. If you want to pass through this level, then prove yourself to me. Many people have lost their way on this path. Do you still want to challenge me? Even if you don't want to challenge me, you can turn around and leave."

As he spoke, the old man in black waved his hand, and a halo appeared behind Feng Jiutian, reminiscent of the previous departure of the Alliance's young deacon.

But Feng Jiutian didn't even glance at the halo.

"I want to take on the challenge!" Feng Jiutian was no ordinary person; to become stronger, she naturally had to endure hardships. So she challenged the fourth level without hesitation.

The old man in black remained calm and composed in his eyes. He had seen far too many challengers like him, who ultimately lost their way on their own journeys.

Seeing Feng Jiutian issue a challenge, the old man in black didn't say anything more. With a wave of his hand, Feng Jiutian fell into a coma.

When Feng Jiutian opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find that he could no longer contact Xuanjizi, the little golden snow fox, and Jiuyao.

He had no spiritual power left, and his dantian was empty, just like an ordinary person.

This surprised Feng Jiutian, but she quickly calmed down.

"Old man, are you there? If you are, answer me!" Feng Jiutian shouted into the void, but a gust of wind blew by, and there was no sound.

Although Feng Jiutian didn't know what had happened, it seemed that this was a challenge given to him by the old man in black on the fourth floor.

Staying in place wouldn't solve anything. So Feng Jiutian chose a direction and started walking.

For several days, Feng Jiutian did not see a single living creature. Fortunately, she found that she did not feel hungry or thirsty, so she continued walking.

Humans are social animals, so when all living things disappear, they realize how terrifying loneliness is. Although Feng Jiutian was a famous assassin among mercenaries in her previous life, she had dealt with all sorts of people and had never encountered such a bizarre situation.

Fortunately, Feng Jiutian has a rather cold personality and is much more patient with loneliness than the average person.

One day, ten days, one hundred days.

Feng Jiutian has been walking in the desert for a hundred days. Although his body does not seem to feel hungry or thirsty in this environment, he is still mentally exhausted.

The desert seemed endless, with only the wind whipping up yellow sand to accompany Feng Jiutian. As far as the eye could see, the desert stretched to the horizon.

Feng Jiutian tripped and rolled down the sand dune.

"Am I destined to be trapped here forever?" Feng Jiutian thought resentfully. He had finally been reborn, only to be trapped in a place where life felt worse than death.

A bitter feeling welled up in Feng Jiutian's heart.

"No, I can't give up. The word 'give up' doesn't exist in my dictionary, Feng Jiutian! Xuanji Zi is still waiting outside for me to help him restore his physical body, and Jiu Yao is also waiting outside for me to take her on a journey. Also, my fiancé, the Seventh Prince, is waiting for me. And that annoying Mo Shaoxie, if I don't get out of here, he must be very worried."

Then Feng Jiutian struggled to get up and continued walking in the desert.

Above the sky, the black-clad old man's usually impassive eyes finally flickered.

Many geniuses of the past succumbed to despair after experiencing ten or even a hundred days of solitude, their hearts dying within that illusion, while the other side was a failed challenge.

He knew it was about to end when he saw Feng Jiutian fall, but he didn't expect Feng Jiutian to stand up so stubbornly.

However, that wasn't enough. Then the old man in black closed his eyes.

Feng Jiutian continued walking without stopping. Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past ten years, Feng Jiutian has no idea how many times he has been injured. He has rolled down the sand dunes without sustaining any injuries, but he can definitely feel the pain of the fall.

It was these pains that made Feng Jiutian realize that she was still alive.

Feng Jiutian stopped in her tracks.

"Come out, I know you're here," she said softly to the void.

The old man in black revealed his figure.

"Not bad, it seems you've discovered my presence and passed more than half of the test. Now, the final test is here." The black-robed elder waved his hand, and a huge sandstorm appeared in the distance.

Then, without saying a word, the old man in black walked over and disappeared through the sandstorm.

Feng Jiutian knew this was the final test of the fourth level. Without the slightest hesitation, she stepped into the sandstorm.

Countless grains of sand flew towards her, and a sharp pain shot through Feng Jiutian's mind. However, Feng Jiutian had no intention of stopping or retreating. She walked forward slowly, step by step.

After barely managing to get out of the sandstorm, the immense pain it caused finally made Feng Jiutian faint.

When Feng Jiutian opened her eyes again, she found Xuanji Zi, Xiao Jin, and Jiu Yao all looking at her with concern.

It looks like I've cleared the level.

"How long have I been unconscious?" Feng Jiutian had long lost her sense of time during her journey in the desert.

"Ever since that old man in black waved his hand at you, you've fainted. No matter how we call you, you won't wake up. It's been ten days since you passed out."

Ten days?

It seems that the old man in black was indeed surrounded by powerful forces.

Then, Feng Jiutian hugged Xuanji Zi and Jiu Yao tightly.

The two were somewhat surprised, but said nothing. They had no idea that ten years had passed since Feng Jiutian fainted.
