Chapter 224: Great Chaos

Ren Sujun came eight.
When many powers heard that Ren Sujun, a loner, had crossed the seventieth level, they were left speechless. Just like Devil, another loner fluxer without any background had crossed the seventieth level? This was extremely baffling.
But soon, an anonymous poster revealed that ten days ago Ren Sujun had been secretly taken in as a disciple by a young Battle Sage from a Higher Dimensional Continent.
Instantly, this news raised a great uproar.
She was actually taken in as a disciple by a Battle Sage!
But why had the Battle Sage suddenly done that? The requirements to become a disciple of a Battle Sage were high, very high. Under normal circumstances, only those who had awakened recently were accepted as disciples, not those who had already established their foundation.
This was because a recently awakened disciple was like a blank sheet of paper. A Battle Sage could then slowly lay the proper foundation on this blank sheet. Yet Ren Sujun was not like this. This was an extremely exceptional event.
Unusual, this was extremely unusual!
Before long, the ninth person also cleared the seventieth level—it was Tyrant Jiang.
Ordinary people didn't pay much attention to him. Since he was the last person to clear the seventieth level, the limelight did not shine on him even for a moment. But given that he had cleared the seventieth level at all, his importance increased a lot in the eyes of many formidable people.
This was not because of any other reason but that unlike Ye Qing and Zhongshan Anling who had surpassed him Tyrant Jiang had matured very quickly.
A year ago, he could only be said to have been a Flux Disciple with above average combat strength and a little fame. He was far from being considered as one of the people standing at the top of the Flux Disciples' hierarchy.
However, just a year later, that was no longer the case.
He could already be considered as one of the Unhindered Flux Disciples who could walk tall in the Fifth Dimension. This was because he had accidentally inherited an innately formidable bloodline at the Desolate Continent.
He was a rogue fluxer, but because he had obtained an innately formidable bloodline and passed the seventieth level of the Tower of Glory, he instantly became a person of high importance in the eyes of many powers.
But no one had expected that just after he came out of the Tower of Glory, he would be invited by a subordinate of Barbarian King.
As this news spread, all the people in the six continents were left flabbergasted.
Tyrant Jiang was invited by Barbarian King? What did Barbarian King see in him? What was going on here? Those who weren't aware of the situation felt that all the recent events were extremely weird.
First, Devil who didn't have any background had astonishingly outdone Xie Qianxue and Ling Shuang who were disciples of battle sages and became the fourth person to cross the seventieth level in this competition.
After that, someone revealed that the female rogue fluxer Ren Sujun had suddenly been accepted as a disciple by a young Battle Sage against the usual tradition of accepting disciples.
And now, a subordinate of Barbarian King came to wait for Tyrant Jiang to leave the Tower of Glory?
Desolate Continent's Barbarian Kings were all unrivaled existences. There was one in each generation, and among the evolved humans of the Desolate Continent, the status and strength of a Barbarian King were equal to those of Battles Sages in other continents. All of them were quasi deity level existences.
However, at this moment, both Battle Sages and Barbarian King's were recklessly taking in people as if it was a competition. Immediately, the fluxers who didn't belong to any major powers began to realize that something was afoot. The recent events were just too unusual. It was as if the common conventions no longer applied to the world around.
In fact, the events that took place in the next few days gave the them even more reason for concern.
The next day after the competition, one after another, many organizations and large clans sent their disciples and clan members to clear the seventieth level of the Tower of Glory.
The number of fluxers challenging the tower had increased greatly, rising to more than several tens of people. Among these, more than a dozen challengers were already extremely famous.
None of these people were weak, but after being urged by the organizations and clans behind them, all of them began to appear to challenge the tower.
Every one of them had only one goal, and that was to clear the seventieth level and become an Unhindered Fluxer.
On this day, among the several tens of tower challengers, the people who finally cleared the seventieth level numbered a dozen. Once this information came out, the entire world was stunned.
When did the major checkpoint of the seventieth level become so easy to clear?
Almost every person had this question in their heart. It must be known that when the rankings were revised every year, if the number of people who could clear the seventieth level reached ten, that was considered pretty good.
However, the onlookers suddenly discovered that, one after another, formidable fluxers continued to appear, like fish trying to make the dragon's leap, staking their lives to clear the seventieth level.
On this day, many people cleared the seventieth level, but even more nameless and obscure but extremely formidable people died trying to do so and never came out.
It mattered not, though. On the day after, the situation became even more crazy. Another group of core disciples from many organizations and clans from the six continents appeared with the seventieth level as the goal.
In a short while, even ordinary people began to feel that something was odd—the major powers of all six continents seemed to have gone crazy.
In the background of all this, even the outside world became more chaotic. Many experts were being killed one after another by some mysterious attacker.
Even sage level powerhouses weren't an exception and were being hunted down. Fifth Dimension, Sixth Dimension, Seventh Dimension, and even on the plane of Earth, many formidable experts kept perishing every day.
All the victims had one thing in common—they possessed some unusual treasure which brought the disaster upon them.
Soon, many people noticed something. All the powers in the six continents were going crazy in their attempts to obtain extraordinary treasures for their candidates challenging the tower.
The goal of their actions was only one, to accumulate enough reserves for their challenger to successfully clear the seventieth level.
This was crazy! The entire world seemed to have gone crazy!
...
At this time, Li Yunmu had already reached Hanxia King City and arrived at the mansion assigned to him.
The Azure Dragon Mansion was quite large, its area crossing 3000 sq.m. Just the value of this mansion alone could allow an ordinary family to live without any worries for more than ten generations.
Li Yunmu finally had the chance to meet face to face with his parents and elder sister in the real world. Since he had also brought Sacred Life Water and a Sacred Pill, his father's, Li Zhhongmin's, limb regenerated, and he was once again back on his feet.
The entire family celebrated Li Yunmu's homecoming, and he enjoyed the peaceful days with them. However, after only a couple had passed, the female commander Zhang Wei reminded him that he must return to the Fifth Dimension as soon as possible.
This was because Li Yunmu was being carefully monitored.
Even if he was being protected by Battle Sage Vega's personal troops, the female commander still felt a hint of pressure. Although her troops were extremely formidable, Li Yunmu's popularity was more than their intimidation factor.
Zhang Wei was afraid that some power may act recklessly and launch an attack, thus she reminded Li Yunmu to not dally.
Li Yunmu quickly agreed to the suggestion, and under the protection of the troops, he stepped into the transfer point to the Fifth Dimension.
