Once all of the disciples left the scene with the sect elders remaining, Long Yijun turned to look at the low-ranking sect elders and shouted, "This includes the sect elders! Or are you trying to tell me that you're not disciples?!"

The sect elders there immediately began sweating and ran away in a hurry, silently wondering to themselves why they couldn't be there as well.

"What the heck? We're sect elders, right? Why can't we be there as well?" One of them asked after they were all very far away from the Carp Leaping Over Dragon's Gate Tower.

"Why are you asking us? Do we look like the Sect Master to you?" Another one said.

"Haaa… I wanted to know who was inside that tower, though."

"What about the record book? Surely, we can find out if we look at whoever signed up for the tower, right?"

"You're right! There's the record book! Who is in charge of that this week?"

"That would be Elder Bao, right? But I don't see him here."

Meanwhile, the disciples were also complaining to each other—

"Why were we chased away? What's wrong with seeing the person inside the tower?"

"Who knows. Maybe you should ask the Sect Master afterward."

"Do you think I have a f.u.c.king death wish?!"

"We'll eventually find out. There's no way someone so talented can be kept hidden for long."

Back at the Carp Leaping Over Dragon's Gate Tower, Long Yijun and the other high-ranking sect elders there all stared at a middle-aged man who was soaking in cold sweats at this moment.

"Let me see the record book." Long Yijun extended his hand to the sect elder who managed the records.

"Here you go, Sect Master…" Elder Bao handed the book to Long Yijun with trembling hands, and he recalled how he'd disrespected the young Outer Court disciple who signed up after Min Li.

'f.u.c.k, f.u.c.k, f.u.c.k! I am so f.u.c.king dead! If they learn that I've offended the person inside the tower right now, they will eat me alive!' Elder Bao cried inwardly, feeling like he'd fall unconscious from fear at any moment.

A few moments later, Long Yijun mumbled, "I knew it… It's Disciple Yuan that's inside right now."

"Did you even need to look at the book, Sect Master? I'm pretty sure we already knew…" Elder Shan said with a smile on her face, and she turned to look at the tower and continued to speak, "Do you think he'll achieve 100 floors?"

"We already know that he's more talented than the Founder so that's very likely," said Elder Xuan.

"Anyway, you are Sect Elder Bao, right?" Bai Ling approached him and asked.

"T-That's right!" Elder Bao quickly nodded.

Bai Ling then placed his large hands onto Elder Bao's shoulders firmly before speaking in a serious and deep voice, "I want you to listen to me very carefully, Elder Bao. The disciple who entered this tower— Disciple Yuan— you will not reveal any information about him no matter what! In fact, you can forget about what happened here today, do you understand me?"

Elder Bao immediately nodded his head, shaking his sweat all over the place.

However, Elder Shan approached them and said, "I don't think he understands, Elder Bai. We need to ensure that he doesn't forget it by next week…"

Elder Bao looked at Elder Shan's beautiful face with wide eyes filled with shock and fear. What is she going to do with him?

"You don't have to bully him, Elder Shan. I'm sure we can trust Elder Bao to keep something this small as a secret. After all, he wouldn't be a sect elder if he couldn't." Xin Ming shook his head and said to her, subtly threatening Elder Bao's position as sect elder.

"I won't say anything! I swear, Seniors! I didn't see or hear anything today! In fact, I wasn't even here today! Disciple who? I don't even know what you're talking about!" Elder Bao quickly exclaimed, feeling as though there were knives around his neck at this moment, and a single wrong word might get him killed.

"See? Elder Bao understands." Xin Ming laughed out loud afterward.

"Whatever." Elder Shan no longer cared about Elder Bao and turned around to continue watching the tower.

"You may leave now, Elder Bao." Long Yijun said to him who immediately scrambled away in a heartbeat, like a rabbit running away from a group of tigers and lions.

"So this is the Disciple Yuan that I have been hearing so much about from you guys. I thought you were all exaggerating, but alas, it seems like I am still a frog in a well…" One of the high-ranking sect elders there suddenly spoke, as he wasn't there when Yuan introduced himself.

"Welcome to Disciple Yuan's talent show, Elder Zou. Just wait until he clears the 100th floor— that's when the real show begins." Elder Shan chuckled in a cute manner.

Meanwhile, inside the tower, Yuan has just reached the 99th floor.

«Congratulations on reaching the 99th floor. The difficulty has been adjusted.»

"99 monsters this time, huh?" Yuan smiled bitterly when the number of monsters doubled compared to the previous floor, and they were all at the peak of the Spirit Warrior realm.

Yuan raised the Empyrean Overlord and charged at the group of magical beasts with a calm expression on his face, and the Starry Abyss followed him from behind for a second before it shot itself forward and began slaying the magical beasts with ease.

A couple of minutes later, all 99 magical beasts were slain by Yuan.

«You have pa.s.sed floor 99! Proceed to the final floor and prepare to challenge the Great One!»

Yuan's eyebrows raised in a surprised manner when he saw this notification.

"The Great One? I'll have to fight that Dragon? Are you kidding me?! How am I supposed to defeat a Dragon that's countless times larger than myself and can even destroy stars with a mere gaze?!" Yuan cried out loud.
