CHAPTER 427: CHAPTER 403: PUBLIC EXECUTION

Shi Nian couldn’t help but observe attentively.

Originally, various records were held upon the Golden Immortal Tower.

After the man entered, the record for the first layer’s time was instantly broken.

The previously fastest time to clear the first layer was three minutes and twenty seconds, but now, it was directly refreshed to one minute and thirty seconds.

Then, on the second and third layers, records were continually broken.

More and more people started looking on, and in the end, a crowd of onlookers had gathered in front of the Golden Immortal Tower.

"Holy shit, a record breaker."

"Another record broken!"

In the midst of exclamations, the man eventually cleared the Golden Immortal Tower, and although the last layer took a full two hours, he had indeed cleared it!

The man soon appeared at the base of the tower. His expression remained very calm, and the others did not approach him, instead watching him with a hint of awe.

"All the records are broken," said the disciple responsible for recording with a flattering tone. "I’ve got them all noted down."

The man nodded and turned away to leave.

Shortly after, the crowd dispersed quickly, and tranquility was fully restored.

Shi Nian’s gaze couldn’t help but flicker.

Huh?

This man cleared the Golden Immortal Tower and broke the records, yet it seems it didn’t cause much of a stir?

Although everyone was shocked, they acted as if it was nothing out of the ordinary.

So, clearing the Golden Immortal Tower isn’t that difficult?

Shi Nian really couldn’t be sure, and approached the person responsible for recording to ask again, "Senior, did that man just clear the Golden Immortal Tower?"

The person glanced at Shi Nian and said somewhat irritably, "It’s you again! Are you going to challenge the tower or not!"

"I am, I am," Shi Nian nodded again and again, then inquired, "I just want to ask... How difficult is it to clear the tower...?"

"Difficult or not? What do you think!" The person couldn’t help but glare at her, "The man just now cleared it. If you had his ability, you could clear it too!"

That was also true... Shi Nian nodded somewhat conflicted and wanted to ask more, but it seemed the person got annoyed by her questions and showed no intention to interact with her further. Left with no choice, Shi Nian gritted her teeth and said, "Senior, I want to register, I’m going to challenge the tower!"

After recording her details, the person replied irritably, "Go ahead then, I’ll wait for you to break the record."

"Alright," Shi Nian obediently responded and then made her way over.

This left the person taking records somewhat dumbfounded.

Did she really dare to agree?

Break the record?

It’s not that simple.

Does she know who that man just now was, daring to break the record like him!

Well, never mind, as an outsider, it’s normal not to know. She’ll understand how formidable it is once she tries it herself.

After Shi Nian walked over, she followed the other people’s example and placed her Jade Pendant in a notch on the tower. The next moment, the world spun around, and she was transported inside the tower.

Speaking of which, there were clearly many challengers.

But once inside the tower, only Shi Nian was present.

It seems that every person who enters the tower has a separate space.

Whoever forged these towers, their mastery in the spatial domain must be very high, to say the least.

Was it the Immortal Emperor of the Utmost Center or somebody else?

This thought flashed through Shi Nian’s mind briefly before her train of thought was interrupted by the sound of rushing.

Suddenly, a host of Fierce Beasts appeared on the first layer of the tower.

It was a herd of yaks, each with a Cultivation roughly at the early stage of the Golden Immortal, and their numbers exceeded a hundred!

A hundred yaks charging towards her was quite a terrifying visual.

Shi Nian stood still, pondering.

What was the clearance time of that person just now?

One minute thirty seconds.

Setting a new record would be too showy, drawing too much attention.

So let’s make it just a bit worse than his, one minute forty seconds.

Within the Golden Immortal Tower, one cannot use power beyond the Golden Immortal Stage, or they will be immediately teleported away.

Shi Nian also used only the strength of the Golden Immortal Stage; she lifted her hand, and as if by command, the hundred yaks froze and stood in place, completely motionless.

Shi Nian settled down amidst the herd of yaks and then nonchalantly counted the time, waiting until it was about right.

She flicked her fingers, and a hundred yaks vanished in a wisp of smoke.

Just like that, Shi Nian was transported to the second layer.

Outside the Golden Immortal Tower.

A record suddenly shot up to the second position.

One minute and forty seconds?

Only ten seconds slower than the previous one?

The Disciple in charge of recording lifted his head in surprise.

Who is it?

Who set this record?

Could it be that chatty young girl?

That shouldn’t be possible, right?

Speaking of that girl, she looked so naïve and clueless about the world, someone like that would likely fail and be transported out soon enough.

But as the man waited and waited, instead of seeing Shi Nian being transported out, he noticed that on this second layer, another record surged to second place.

Just by coincidence.

This second place record, on almost every layer, was just a bit slower than the record.

"Who could this be?"

"Damn, is there a freak appearing?"

"The person before has already cleared the tower. Logically, there shouldn’t be any more record-breakers in this city for this month! So, this current record isn’t set by a tower breaker!"

"Who is it? Did any of you notice who just entered the tower?"

"I have a friend who went in! But this couldn’t possibly be his record."

"Is someone keeping their true strength hidden?"

While everyone was fiercely challenging the tower, Shi Nian proceeded meticulously. She was extremely cautious, controlling the time, making sure not to break any records.

After all.

She couldn’t be too low-key this time, but she couldn’t be too high-profile either.

Show just a bit of talent, then join a super Sect after a thrilling narrow escape.

Calculating like this, Shi Nian quickly reached the ninth layer.

This layer was formidable.

Apart from a hundred Golden Immortal Peak yaks, there was even a yak at the Profound Immortal Level!

For a Golden Immortal Stage Cultivator, passing this layer was as hard as ascending to the heavens!

Shi Nian couldn’t help but marvel.

The overall level of the Cultivators in Central State might be a bit higher, as joining a super Sect seems to require such freakish standards.

Shi Nian thought it over and could understand.

Actually, these three towers are excellent for refining one’s Cultivation. Cultivators of the Central State Region practiced day in and day out in these towers, so it was understandable for their Cultivation to be higher than other places.

Shi Nian waved her hand again, and all the yaks were immobilized in an instant.

Then, she started to wait out of boredom.

This time.

She waited until two and a half hours had passed before she annihilated all the Fierce Beasts.

The next moment.

She was directly transported out of the Golden Immortal Tower.

Shi Nian found herself back at the base of the tower.

The moment she emerged, everyone turned to look at her in unison.

Even a giant image of Shi Nian herself appeared on the tower of the Golden Immortal Tower.

A deep voice announced: "Golden Immortal Tower: Conqueror: Jin Hua."

Jin Hua was the name Shi Nian registered with; her name being called out so unexpectedly left her feeling numb.

No, what’s going on?

Why didn’t the last person have such fanfare, and now when it’s her turn, they’re starting a public execution?
