Zhao Yuan looked at the black-robed old man with a puzzled expression.

What did the Imperial Advisor mean by this?

In Zhao Yuan's mind, since he was a citizen of Heavenly Enlightenment Empire, as the ruler of a nation, he naturally had the right to know the background of the other party.

The Imperial Advisor bowed and said, "From what this humble subject has observed, this person has many secrets. However, the more secrets he has, the more it implies that his background is not simple!" Therefore, he mustn't send anyone to investigate!

Although he didn't say it clearly, his meaning was very clear. Zhao Yuan pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Imperial Advisor's meaning is ?" This person has an expert guiding him from behind, and this expert is probably difficult to provoke even our Heavenly Enlightenment Empire?

That's right! The Imperial Advisor replied with a slight nod.

Would the Imperial Advisor be worrying too much? If this person had the backing of an expert to guide him, why would he still participate in the Imperial Great Competition? Long Tu showed displeasure on his face. It was obvious that he was not optimistic about the Imperial Advisor's opinion.

In response to what Long Tu said, the State Grandmaster smiled and said: "I presume you have come to the Empire's Great Competition Trial to increase your cultivation and temper." Right, General Long Tu should know that if one wanted to comprehend the power of a dragon, it wasn't something that could be accomplished with just the two words of talent. It required the guidance of an expert.

Long Tu listened silently, because he knew very well how difficult it was to comprehend the dragon's might. Even someone like him, who had the bloodline of a Flood Dragon, had to spend more than ten years to comprehend the dragon's might, which was why he had proposed to have the king Zhao Yuan Zong investigate this person.

Within the Minor World that was where the Cloud Climbing Ladder was located, the enormous dragon formed by Maki Chen's lightning had already descended, shrouding Da Niu in an endless sea of lightning.

When the lightning retreated, Da Niu's nearly six meter tall body fell flat on the stairs, his body's surface emitting a burnt smell.

Squatting beside Da Niu, Maki Chen chanted an incantation and Da Niu's body quickly shrank until he was back to the initial two and a half meters.

Maki Chen reached out and patted Da Niu's face, and said: I know you're still awake. Quickly open your mouth, I'll give you healing pellets!

You... Who are you?

Da Niu slowly opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar face in front of him. He was on guard and wanted to climb up the stairs, but he found that he could not muster up any strength.

I am Maki Chen, you can call me boss too!

After Maki Chen finished introducing himself, he forced the pill into Da Niu's mouth. Da Niu was about to spit the pill out, but the pill had already melted in an instant.

Seeing that the pellet had already been fed to Da Niu's mouth, Maki Chen turned and looked at the dumbstruck Qu Bai: His physical body's recovery rate is extremely strong, and with the effect of my pellet, he will be able to recover very quickly.

With that, Maki Chen stood up and walked in front of Qu Bai. He took out a box of pills from the Spatial Ring and placed it on the stairs beside him.

This pill is for you, it can recover the loss of Spirit Soul.

As he spoke till here, Maki Chen did not speak anymore. He turned around and walked toward the Cloud Climbing Ladder s, leaving behind only an indifferent back.

At this moment, Maki Chen's image of him in the eyes of Qu Bai and Da Niu had instantly grown larger, but the two of them did not know that Maki Chen had already set their plans.

That was why he had acted to rescue Da Niu at such a critical time. Just now, when Da Niu was recuperating, Maki Chen had secretly used the secret imprint to track him. As long as Da Niu entered the next stage, he would be able to use the imprint to track his opponent's tracks.

After that, he came across a coincidence, and their relationship naturally improved by another step. The goal of taking in his lackeys was also a bit closer.

When Maki Chen thought of this, a hint of cunning surfaced on his face.

The following Cloud Climbing Ladder could be described as blissful and harmonious, without any sort of scheming or scheming.

There was no other reason. Everyone was intimidated by the huge dragon formed by Maki Chen's lightning. All of them acted as though they were honest and wronged children, and put all their strength into their Cloud Climbing Ladder. No one dared to be rash again.

Regarding this, Maki Chen expressed joy at hearing about it.

Very quickly, Maki Chen arrived at the top of the Cloud Climbing Ladder and powerlessly laid on the ground.

The pressure on the latter half of the Cloud Climbing Ladder gradually increased in strength until it reached the last thousand steps. Maki Chen had been channeling his cultivation technique the entire time, using his spirit energy to resist the pressure with all his might.

In the end, it took a large amount of soul force to successfully step onto the top of the Cloud Climbing Ladder.

Just as Maki Chen was about to consume a medicinal pellet to recover his spirit energy, the scene before his eyes started to become illusory, and his body felt weightless.

Bang!

Immediately after, Maki Chen felt his entire body fall onto the hard stone ground, and he almost lost his breath.

Just as he was about to stand up, a vigorous and aged voice flashed through his mind.

The Minor World here was called the Shi Ling Mountain Range, it was the second trial of the Great Competition.

There were 3,600 Energy Sealing Stone scattered throughout the mountain range. If one could find one, then they had the right to enter the next stage!

Seven days later, Shi Ling mountain range will transfer those who have obtained Energy Sealing Stone to the next stage. Those who haven't, will lose their qualifications to Great Competition!

As he was listening, he saw a pair of green, alluring dots of light shining in the darkness ahead, slowly approaching him. He could even hear the sound of rustling in his ear.

In this dim environment, Maki Chen could only use the green light dots and the sound to identify the location of the creatures hiding in the darkness.

Maki Chen allowed himself to retreat a few steps, and quietly released the Spirit Soul.

Not ten meters in front of him, there was a scorpion that was about the height of a person. This scorpion's scales were a translucent green, and through the scales, one could clearly see the internal organs throbbing at a certain frequency.

Venomous Devil Scorpion!

The two words flashed past Maki Chen's mind, after looking again, he confirmed.

Venomous Devil Scorpion s were an extremely special existence amongst Primordial Demon. Their food was all the extremely poisonous Spiritual Herba or Primordial Demon s, thus, this kind of Primordial Demon would carry a large amount of poison within its body. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the Venomous Devil Scorpion's scales were all extremely poisonous.

However, the most terrifying part was still its tail!

Within the same realm, if one was stung by the Venomous Devil Scorpion's tail, if they did not consume the antidote within ten breaths of time, they would definitely die. Even if they used their Origin Energy to resist the poison, it would not last long.

Maki Chen was not entirely sure about the strength of the Venomous Devil Scorpion in front of him, but looking at its size and the quality of its scales, its strength was definitely not weaker than a human cultivator of the fifth level of Primordial Soul. Adding the poison from the Venomous Devil Scorpion, even cultivators of the seventh or eighth level of Primordial Soul might not be its opponent.

Although Maki Chen's? Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder Spell? was quite effective against normal Primordial Demon, it was still quite difficult for them to take care of the Venomous Devil Scorpion.

The most important thing was that Maki Chen had previously used the? Heavenly Punishment Dragon Divine Transformation?, adding the fact that he had exhausted the majority of his elemental energy during the Cloud Climbing Ladder, his chances of winning the battle with the Venomous Devil Scorpion did not seem very high!
