After listening to Du Wu's brief description of the 18th floor, Chu Jun and Zhao Yu exchanged a glance. The time in the 18th floor was a hundred times longer than that in the outside world. In other words, only one day had passed after cultivating in the 18th floor. This was indeed quite attractive, but the risks inside were definitely not small.

"How many of the people who entered the eighteenth floor were able to successfully get out?" Chu Jun asked in a deep voice.

"The eighteenth floor is in You Ling Continent. The continents have decided through consultation to allow a batch of people to enter the eighteenth floor every year. There are about 150 people. Only 10% of them can successfully pass through the eighteenth floor."

Chu Jun and the others' expressions instantly changed. Zhao Yu asked in confusion, "Since the mortality rate is so high, why are there so many people competing to enter? Moreover, those who enter the eighteenth floor are all people with high aptitude, so why take this risk? Isn't it better to cultivate steadily?"

"There are very few people who can really win in gambling, but most of them are losers. Why are there so many gamblers chasing after them?" Du Wu asked.

Chu Jun nodded in agreement, "You're right. All the rising stars selected from all continents are definitely outstanding people. Experts of the arts are bold. Whether it is conceit or confidence, they will not hesitate to take risks. It's as if the gamblers who just entered the casino all think that they can win, and in the end, they won't even have their underwear left!"

Li Xiangjun chuckled softly. Zhao Yuqiao's face turned slightly red and white as she glanced at Chu Jun. However, Du Wu was still as divine as usual. She said indifferently, "Actually, there is another reason!"

"What's the reason?"

'"As the name implies, the eighteenth floor has eighteen floors. After entering the entrance layer, the first floor will be the first floor. At this time, it is fine if someone wants to retreat. However, after entering the third floor, there is no way to retreat. They can only concentrate on moving forward and exit through the remaining sixteen floors!" Du Wu explained.

Chu Jun couldn't help but be stunned. This eighteenth floor is quite humane. There are two floors of swing space left. If you feel that you can't endure, then scram. But if you enter the third floor, then I'm sorry. You have to walk the entire journey. Otherwise, you'll have to wait here for death. With a speed of ten times the speed of time, with a Golden Core stage cultivator's 300-year lifespan, the outside world will only need three years for you to turn into a dead bone.

"Therefore, those who are aware of the situation will often retreat when they are on the second floor. Of course, the eighteenth floor is filled with dangers, and there are powerful monsters everywhere. Many people perish on the first and second floors, so about 50% of the people who survive will be able to come out alive!" Du Wu said.

Zhao Yudai knitted her eyebrows and asked, "The reason why the palace hall wants us to strive for the top twelve of Chongming Island is to let us enter the eighteenth floor? What benefits does this have for you?"

Chu Jun tapped the table with his finger and said leisurely, "It's very simple, because she wants to enter the eighteenth floor as well."

Du Wu nodded and said calmly, "You're right. I'll lead the team in Chongming Island this time."

Chu Jun smiled faintly and said, "As expected, the courage of the palace's main hall is extraordinary. A woman does not let her brows stand on end!"

Li Xiangjun's eyes lit up and she thought to herself, "This palace master is truly courageous and scheming!" She led the twelve most outstanding youths in Chongming Island to the eighteenth floor, "To share weal and woe with everyone, on the one hand, I borrowed everyone's strength to pass through the eighteenth floor, on the other hand, I pulled twelve outstanding talents to my seat, and indirectly recruited the forces behind these people. If I can successfully pass the eighteenth floor, not only will my cultivation level increase by leaps and bounds, I will also obtain a batch of outstanding younger brothers."

Du Wu coldly glanced at Chu Jun and said, "Stop pretending to flatter me. The eighteenth floor is already extremely dangerous. We have to be on guard against cultivators from other continents. If we want to successfully pass the eighteenth floor, we must unite together!"

Chu Jun grinned and said, "But your big brother obviously won't let you go so smoothly. He even hopes that you will die on the 18th floor!"

Wei An's expression couldn't help but change slightly. This time, the rising star competed with him in order to enter the eighteenth level of the calendar. In the eyes of outsiders, he was already branded with the Heavenly Policy Palace. If First Prince Du Ru'nan wanted to deal with Du Wu, he naturally wouldn't let him go.

Du Wu said calmly, "You're right, so of the twelve people who entered the eighteenth floor, I have to arrange for someone I can trust!"

"Obviously, you don't have the right to decide who will go, so let me and Yu'er fight for the top twelve spots!" Chu Jun said coldly.

"I really don't have the right to decide who will go. The rising stars are only qualified to enter the 18th floor when compared to the top twelve, so you must enter the top twelve!"

"Then how many people did you arrange to compete for the top twelve spots?"

"A dozen people!" Du Wu said straightforwardly.

"How many spots can I snatch?"

"My big brother has a lot of talents. Even if Seventh Brother secretly helped me, it's already pretty good to be able to get six spots." Du Wu said very frankly.

Although Du Wu was only in her early twenties, due to her status, she usually came into contact with upper echelons who held power. Under the influence of her experience, she naturally developed the ability to recognize and employ people. To someone like Chu Jun, who valued both affection and righteousness, being arrogant and untamable was enough to maintain a proper deterrent. It would be too late to use his status to suppress him too much. It was best to get along with him frankly and treat him as a friend. Even if they could not subdue him, at least the two sides would not become enemies.

After hearing that, Chu Jun couldn't help but be silent. In other words, at least half of the twelve people who entered the eighteenth floor were likely to be enemies. The most painful thing was that you still couldn't be sure if he was enemies. Thousands of defenses were the hardest to guard against. If someone stabbed him in the back, he wouldn't even know how to die.

"How many people did you arrange in the Great Ming Manor?" Chu Jun raised his head and asked.

"You, Zhao Yu, Wei An!"

"Just the three of us?"

Du Wu nodded slightly!

"Boss, I also want to participate!" Fan Jian suddenly said.

When this battle maniac heard that there was actually such a good place to cultivate on the 18th floor, he naturally wouldn't let go of this rare opportunity.

Chu Jun cast his gaze towards Du Wu. Neither he nor Zhao Yu had passed through the first round of the competition and directly entered the second round. He wondered if Fan Jian still had a chance.

Du Wu shook her head regretfully and said, "The quota has already been set. Even with my identity, I can't change it anymore. Besides, this is the Great Ming Manor, and the Manor Master Qin Qing is from my big brother's side!"

Although what Du Wu said was the truth, with her status, it was not impossible for her to forcefully add another person to the competition. However, she was worried that if Chu Jun, Zhao Yu, and Fan Jian all passed the competition, they would definitely form a team and weaken their position in the team.

Chu Jun was not an idiot, so he naturally understood Du Wu's worries, so he could only say, "Bitch, it's fine if you don't participate. Coincidentally, Xiangjun also needs your protection. After all, we just offended Qin Ming!"

Fan Jian was right to think about it, so he could only sit down dejectedly!

"The competition is still five days away. The three of you should recover your strength these days. It shouldn't be difficult for you to pass this round with your strength!" Du Wu said.

After everyone chatted for a while, Du Wu left with Wei An, leaving Chu Jun, Zhao Yu, and the others in the living room.

"Xiangjun, why haven't you seen Xi'er?" Chu Jun asked with a smile.

"The Spiritual Fragrance Pavilion has just been renovated, and will be ready to open in a few days. Xi'er is busy buying!" Li Xiangjun charmingly cut her hair beside her ear.

"Sister Xiangjun is now the Great Wealth God of our Heavenly Phoenix Sect. She has opened the Spirit Pavilion to Longevity Sun City!" Zhao Yu teased.

Li Xiangjun giggled and said, "Sister Yu'er, what kind of wealth god is she? The Flower Spirit Crystal is in an uproar. No, she threw out nearly ten million Spirit Crystals in just two months. Now, Fat Li, who is in charge of the Inner Treasury, is like a god of plague when he sees me!"

Chu Jun couldn't help but rub his chin and secretly said, "Loser bitch!"

"Sister Xiangjun … ah, this subordinate greets Master and Mother!"

At this moment, Xi'er ran in hurriedly from outside. Seeing Chu Jun and Zhao Yu in the hall, she couldn't help but be surprised and delighted. Her beautiful face was filled with joy, and she hurriedly went forward to greet Chu Jun and Zhao Yu.

Li Xiangjun chuckled and said, "Master asked you where you were going just now, but he happened to be back!"

Hearing this, Xi'er felt indescribable joy in her heart. She said shyly, "Fragrant Lord, you're lying to me!"

When Chu Jun saw Zhao Yu's gaze, he coughed awkwardly and said, "Xi'er, I did ask about you just now. Haha, I haven't seen you for a while. You're beautiful!"

Xi'er was now taking Chun'er's place, running outside almost every day. She looked even more capable. Perhaps her two jade legs were long, solid, and slender.

When Xi'er received Chu Jun's praise, she couldn't help but be overjoyed. She smiled bashfully and said, "Master also makes fun of me!"

Li Xiangjun gave Chu Jun a sour glance. Why didn't this stinking man tease me?

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Xi'er, why did you rush in just now?"

Only then did Xi'er wake up and slapped her forehead in shock, "I just received a message from Commander Li that Huashuang Peak dug out a spirit ore vein!"

Everyone in the hall stood up at the same time!

"Really?" Li Xiangjun asked excitedly.

"How much is the reserve?" What Chu Jun was concerned about was this question.

Xi'er happily said, "Absolutely true. It is said that the first spirit crystal dug out is a high-grade spirit crystal. As for the amount of reserves, it has not been verified yet!"

"High-grade spirit crystals?" This time, even Zhao Yu, who had a calm disposition, could not help but blurt out.

A high-grade spirit crystal was equivalent to a hundred mid-grade spirit crystals. A mid-grade spirit crystal was a hundred low-grade spirit crystals. If the entire spirit mine was a high-grade spirit crystal, then that would be great.

Chu Jun's expression suddenly changed drastically, "How is the situation now?"

"Shangguan has already sent out many Golden Core guards. The Shao Clan has also sent people to guard them. Shi Tai is setting up an array in Huashuang Peak. Oh, right, the people from the City Lord's Mansion requested to see the spirit ore veins, but Shangguan rejected them!"

Chu Jun pondered for a while and said, "Looks like I have to go back!"

The spirit veins dug out from Hua Shuang Peak would definitely attract countless envious eyes. Although with the current strength of the Heavenly Phoenix Sect, not many people dared to provoke them in Secluded Sun City, it did not mean that there were none. For example, the Mirage Thousand Gates that wanted to snatch the spirit mines of the Primordial Pavilion had turned to the Gong Clan of First Prince Du Ru'nan .

"Master, it's too late. The competition will start in five days!" Li Xiangjun reminded.

Chu Jun was right to think about it. It would take him four days to travel back and forth at his own speed!

"Bitch, go back. If something really goes wrong, take this to the Immortal Cultivator Guild and ask Liu Suifeng for help!" Chu Jun threw the Three Purities Token to Fan Jian.

Fan Jian also knew that this matter was no small matter, so he took the token and hurriedly left the city.
