Monarch Of Time Chapter 925 The Heavenly Rankings (1)

925  Chapter 925 The Heavenly Rankings (1)

In the center of those vast plains, surrounded by thousands of late-stage Dao Kings and powerful magic beasts, a tower made from pure white marble stood tall, looking like it had been there since time immemorial!

The majestic white tower appeared like a sentinel from a forgotten age, weathering the pa.s.sage of countless eons, and yet the corruption of time didn't seem to have any effect on it whatsoever.

The myriad of transparent golden runes on its surface were still vibrant and vivid, forming numerous intricate formations, while from the top of the tower itself, a brilliant white light could be seen spreading outwards, drawing the eyes of anyone who laid their gaze upon it.

Even from a distance away, the tower's dazzling radiance was clear for everyone to see, attracting all those nearby Dao Kings like moths to a flame, but it was only after arriving in front of the tower itself that Shun Long could truly appreciate the magnitude of the monumental creation.

As he approached closer and closer towards it, Shun Long could also see the different groups of Dao Kings that had gathered around the tower's entrance.

Many of those Dao Kings chose to dismount from their magic beasts and ask others what was going on, while a small minority among them decided to walk straight through the tower's entrance without a second thought.

The most eye-catching sight, however, was definitely the sheer number of those Dao Kings present!

No matter where Shun Long looked, whether it was the east, west, north, or even south, droves of Dao Kings were flying from every direction, all of them congregating in front of the majestic tower.

Practically everyone among them seemed to be late-stage Dao Kings as well, while the vast majority of them were even rank 9 Dao Kings, painting a truly spectacular scene.

However, what surprised Shun Long the most was neither the umpteen number of Dao Kings around the tower, nor the tens of thousands of rank 6 magic beasts stationed outside its entrance. It wasn't even the tower's picturesque-like beauty nor the heavenly radiance that it was clearly emitting, which made it seem like a second sun. No, what truly shocked Shun Long was the unique aura coming from the depths of the 'Heavenly Tower's entrance... the aura of immortal qi!

As he felt the thick immortal qi that seeped through the tower's entrance, Shun Long couldn't help but take a deep breath before he said with a bright look in his eyes

''This whole tower is a treasure! It's almost as if the entirety of immortal qi here originates from this place...''

Bai Longtian and the others all turned to look at Shun Long with incredulous looks in their eyes, and for a moment, they almost forgot how to breathe. Even the visage of the majestic tower couldn't compare to the shock they were feeling in their hearts right now, as the same thought flashed through everyone's mind; Was Shun Long actually... excited? None of them could remember the last time they had seen him like this! No, that was IF they had even seen him like this. After all, how many treasures could enter his eyes and make him leave such remarks?

And yet, Shun Long merely scoffed after seeing everyone's reactions, before he shook his head and asked dejectedly

''What? Do I not look human? It's only natural to get excited when there is something precious right in front of me...''

Of course, Shun Long couldn't blame Jiang Chen and the others for their reactions, but he still shook his head in dejection. After all, it was true that he very rarely showed desire over anything, so it was easy to get misunderstood.

However, it wasn't as if he had no desires whatsoever! Whether it was back in the 'King's Palace', the 'Myriad Pills pavilion' in the Northern Sovereign's city, or the auction of the 'White Tiger chamber of commerce' in Murong City, there was always something that piqued his interest.

It just so happened that Shun Long's standards were so far above others, that only a few truly rare treasures were enough to stir his heart!

...

A couple of minutes later, Shun Long and his group had already arrived in the vicinity of the tower, before heading straight towards its entrance. Just like the others, Shun Long wasn't planning on wasting time idling around and was going to enter the 'Heavenly Tower' straight away.

He had already swept all of the nearby Dao Kings using his soul sense a while ago, and had already verified that Guo Chen wasn't anywhere among them, which most likely meant that that b.a.s.t.a.r.d had already entered the tower as well.

As the group of five walked towards the majestic marble structure however, the conversations of the nearby Dao Kings entered Shun Long's ears, causing him to slow down his steps for a bit

''I heard that Zhou Tai has already pa.s.sed the 4th floor of the 'Heavenly Tower' and is planning to challenge the 5th! No wonder he is regarded as the second most talented individual in the 'White tiger chamber of commerce'!''

''Hmph! Zhou Tai may be strong, but he still can't compare to our Tianxuan dynasty's young lord! Young lord Xuan Long pa.s.sed the 4th floor long ago, and by now, he may have also pa.s.sed the 5th! Who knows how strong he will be by the time he comes out?''

''Fool, do you think the 5th floor is that easy to pa.s.s? Xuan Long is only ranked 9th in the Heavenly Rankings! If he has already pa.s.sed the 5th floor, then doesn't that mean that Huang Yun and the others have already pa.s.sed it as well? What are you bragging about?''

As the conversations around them started to get more and more heated, Shun Long and his group continued to walk towards the magnificent tower's gate unperturbed. However, the moment they arrived in front of the tower's gates, Shun Long suddenly halted his steps and turned his gaze towards a gigantic slab of stone situated right above the tower's gates. At the very top of the stone, the words 'Heavenly Rankings' were depicted in luminous golden letters, their radiance so bright, it was almost blinding!

Almost instinctively, Shun Long glanced at the person in 9th place, and indeed, the name Xuan Long was there! Although Shun Long had never met this young lord of the Tianxuan dynasty, it was very likely that this person was one of those people the Northern Sovereign wanted to introduce him to before they entered the 'City of Immortals'. Still, Shun Long didn't pay too much attention to him and simply continued with the rest of the list.

However, as his gaze continued to travel upwards, his eyes suddenly focused on the 7th spot, where an overly familiar name was situated:

'Heavenly Rankings:'

7th: Jiang Tianfang!
