The Eternal Tower, eighth floor.
As a very traditional monster-slaying and leveling-up dungeon, it posed no difficulty for Ye Bai.
As soon as Ye Bai entered the eighth floor, he noticed something was wrong.
It's completely empty here; there are no players except for NPCs!
"Perfect, it makes it easier for me to do things freely."
If there are too many people, it will be inconvenient for Ye Bai to use the Heavenly Thunder, as it would be too conspicuous.
Following the guide from the Eye of Insight, Ye Bai rushed to the nearest leveling spot and began killing monsters to accumulate exploration points.
"Wind Fury!"
"Heavenly Thunder!"
"...."
Thunderclaps rained down, and the monsters fell to the ground one after another.
On the distant hillside,
An elderly man dressed in blue, leaning on a cane, watched someone grinding monsters in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.
"Young people these days are much more capable than we were back then."
"Boring."
Beside Elder Lan stood a middle-aged Taoist priest, his gaze not on Ye Bai, but slightly lowered.
A colorful butterfly landed on his fingertip, then burst like a bubble and vanished.
"You child, you find everything boring."
If you ask me, that's the most boring thing you ever say!
Old Lan seemed to have thought of something, and said with a smile,
"I'd love to see the day when even the supreme being, Xiaoyao, finds it interesting."
"The most boring thing in the world is life."
Xiaoyao asked again, "Elder Lan, are you sure you want to go to the Abyss Plane?"
"Hmm, didn't you say you wanted to see me? What is it?"
"This journey is fraught with peril."
"Then let's turn misfortune into good fortune."
"I made a fool of myself."
If others saw this scene, they would probably be speechless with surprise!
Even the mighty Xiaoyao, facing Lan Tianqi, seemed like a junior!
"Elder Lan, you are the person with the highest attainments in the realm of the soul..."
"Stop! What nonsense are you spouting? Aren't you even human?"
Old Lan seemed a little angry, slammed his cane on the ground, and said angrily,
"Isn't your teacher, Ying Jiu, human?!"
He lived like a human being more than anyone else!
In his last sentence, Old Lan was clearly furious.
Xiaoyao remained unmoved, muttering to himself...
"Perhaps I am a butterfly, or perhaps it is all just a dream."
Is it a carefree dream of a butterfly, or a butterfly dream of carefree existence?
He has been pondering this question for over thirty years, but has yet to find the answer.
At Xiaoyao's fingertips, the shattered butterfly appeared once again.
The butterfly recovered, but Xiaoyao's figure began to shatter.
Old Lan sighed, "You're still struggling with this issue..."
You're a good child in every way, except you worry too little and overthink too much.
"Before I leave, I have a question I would like to ask Mr. Lan."
Old Master Lan's expression was solemn. "Speak."
The butterfly, fluttering its wings, slowly opened its mouth.
"Are there any people in the world who are born with knowledge?"
Born with knowledge?
Old Lan looked completely bewildered. What was there to talk about?
He was about to speak when Xiaoyao interrupted him.
"There's no need to rush to answer; you can answer before entering the Abyss Plane."
After saying that, the butterfly slowly flew away, from the eighth floor to the ninety-ninth floor.
Old Lan was left behind, continuing to watch the legendary Asura grind monsters, lost in thought.
...
He...is gone.
Ye Bai glanced at the notification in the lower right corner and breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after he entered the eighth floor, his Eye of Insight became blurred with fright.
The last time it was blurred was because of the supreme being [Traceless].
Every time it encounters an extremely powerful being, its Eye of Insight goes into a state of blindness, making it cowardly to the point of exhaustion.
"Can't you have some backbone? Show some of the spirit you have with your SSS-level talent!"
Ye Bai was furious at his son's lack of ambition; how could he have such a cowardly talent?
Can't the Eye of Insight learn from itself and become a real, tough man?!
Today's eighth floor is essentially a private event for Ye Bai.
Only [Xiaoyao] can achieve this.
This can be considered compensation for Ye Bai yesterday.
After all, they plotted to seize the essence of the demon god.
To some extent, Ye Bai was used as bait, the kind that smells delicious.
With his abilities unleashed, Ye Bai's monster-killing speed was incredibly fast.
What would take an ordinary person several days to clear the eighth floor, Ye Bai accomplished in less than 40 minutes.
Unfortunately, the monsters here were all below level 60, and apart from some copper coins and equipment, Ye Bai gained nothing else.
After reaching 100% exploration progress, Ye Bai directly summoned the Eternal Core Crystal to complete the level.
"Settling customs clearance score..."
"Sold out of the eighth floor with an SSSS rating and received the reward [Gluttonous Claw]!"
An S-grade piece of equipment appeared in Ye Bai's hand. Ye Bai glanced at it, but didn't have time to study it, so he threw it into his backpack first.
After settling his personal rewards, Ye Bai heard a server-wide announcement.
"Player Shura cleared the eighth floor with an SSSS rating, rewarding all human races in the Eternal Tower with the [Otherworldly Gourmet] buff!"
"Limited-time buff [Meat and Eggs to Fill Hunger]: Humans in the Eternal Tower gain a 30% increase in the effectiveness of food consumption, for a limited time of 6 hours!"
"Limited-time buff [Sweeping Away Weakness]: Humans who die in the Eternal Tower will not enter a period of weakness upon returning to the Eternal Core City. This buff is valid for 6 hours."
"Limited-time buff [Experience Boost]: Humans in the Eternal Tower gain +18% experience, for a limited time of 3 hours!"
"【Otherworldly Gourmet】: After consuming food, apply 1 powerful buff for 5 minutes. Cooldown time is 5 minutes. Duration is limited to 6 hours."
