Seeing Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen halt at the seventieth floor, Elder Beishan grew worried. He had entered the Jiuling Tower himself, and it was at the seventieth floor that he had been transported out. The most terrifying thing on the seventieth floor was not the pushing force, but rather the dense and intense killing intent.
"It seems they’ve stopped here," Elder Qing Ye scoffed coldly. She had never thought highly of Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen.
"Not till the end, will anyone know the outcome," Elder Beishan replied, casting a cold glance at Elder Qing Ye, making no effort to conceal his discontent. If Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen were to reach the top of the tower, they might have a chance to break through the barriers of the world, which would be advantageous to them all.
They had been here for thousands of years, and if they couldn’t ascend, once their time was up, no amount of reluctance would change their fate. This was also why they decided to open the Jiuling Tower.
"Elder Beishan, do you have a problem with me?" Elder Qing Ye, already irritated and unable to control her anger at the look from Elder Beishan.
"If that’s what you think, there’s nothing I can do," Elder Beishan responded, now growing angry himself. Initially, he had considered Elder Qing Ye quite sensible, but now his impression of her had entirely changed.
"Have our thousands of years working together been in vain, to be inferior to two juniors?" Elder Qing Ye trembled with rage. Now, she truly wished she could kill Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen herself—as it was because of them that she and Beishan stood in opposition.
"Do you not remember why we opened the Jiuling Tower this time?" Elder Beishan asked with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. He supported Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen, not for any reason other than the hope that they might break the barriers of the world and ascend to the Immortal World sooner.
"Of course I remember, but I don’t believe that Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen are the ones to break the barriers of the world. Their strength is decent, but their character seals their destiny—they are unlikely to achieve greatness," Elder Qing Ye said, filled with disdain for the two.
"Elder Qing Ye, Elder Beishan, please calm down."
"Yes, it’s not worth falling out over two juniors," someone nearby interjected, unable to watch silently any longer.
Elder Beishan took a deep breath, choosing to ignore Elder Qing Ye. It didn’t matter what others thought as long as he believed in Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen.
Onlookers outside the tower watched the continuous lack of movement from the two numbers on the screen.
"Why haven’t Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen moved? Could it be that they can’t go any higher?"
"I heard that no one has ever reached the top of the Jiuling Tower."
"They will definitely make it; I believe in them."
"I believe in them too."
Song Yan Ning opened her eyes and took out materials to start refining Array Flags. She had just deduced the Array.
The materials in Song Yan Ning’s hands continuously turned into Array Flags, and she didn’t stop until she had created forty-eight of them.
Standing up swiftly, she scattered the Array Flags out around her.
As the Array Flags hit the ground, they didn’t trigger the same reaction as before, and the corners of Song Yan Ning’s lips curved upward.
Qin Yushen felt the sword light around him lessen and knew Song Yan Ning must have found a way to break the Array, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
With the last Array Flag in place, the surrounding killing intent vanished in an instant. Song Yan Ning looked at Qin Yushen happily, wanting to tell him she had now advanced to a Level 6 Array Master.
Seeing Qin Yushen at that moment, her heart ached. She quickly ran to his side and took out a Healing Pill to give to him, "Eat this quickly." Qin Yushen’s body and face were covered in bloodstains, showing just how fierce the Sixth-level Trapping and Killing Array had been, while she remained unscathed. One would easily deduce that it was Qin Yushen who had taken all the attacks for her.
