Chapter 1009 Enter Safe Floor
The epic battle between cultivators and beasts continued in the mysterious tower, both below and above the 10th floor. Wang Tianshi and Ling Xi led the group of cultivators on the 10th floor and below, and their group continued to move almost non-stop, including cultivators outside their group.
On the 11th floor and above, Ling Yun continued to lead his people to slaughter those beasts. However, the women, including Zhou Yu, who had previously only been responsible for collecting item drops, began to fight alongside them.
Ling Yun also asked the demi-humans and disciples from the Eternal Spring Sect to fight, especially since the number of beasts kept increasing as they climbed higher, confusing those who had previously challenged those floors.
Ling Yun suspected that Huang Lingzhu was the mastermind behind it, especially since they passed through all the floors in an unusual way, so she deliberately increased the obstacles to slow them down.
They had no way to protest, so they simply continued to move forward, killing all the beasts they encountered. Moreover, as the number of beasts grew, so did the items they could obtain from them.
Furthermore, the beasts from the 11th to 20th floors were stronger than those from the 11th floor and below, requiring more time to kill them.

On the fifth day, Ling Yun and the others finally succeeded in passing the twentieth floor, but they didn't go straight to the 21st floor. Instead, they rested on the safe floor because they were sure there were more beasts. Their strength was in the Venerate realm, so they took precaution and recovered first.
*Bam*
As soon as Xiao Xiao reverted to her human form, she immediately fell to the ground, her chest heaving rapidly as her breathing became increasingly heavy. "I'm truly exhausted right now, especially after I used my beast form for five whole days and couldn't move my body."
"Haha." Ling Yun laughed as he moved beside his wife, putting a few pills in Xiao Xiao's mouth. He also channeled his light qi into her body, so her condition could recover faster. "You can rest in peace, especially since there are no beasts in this place, so no one will disturb your rest."
"Yeah." Xiao Xiao replied with a sigh of relief, immediately closed her eyes, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
After that, Ling Yun gave all of them some pills and liquids, particularly the large qi restoration liquid, which they desperately needed to replenish their depleted qi after five days of non-stop fighting.
"So how long are we going to rest on the floor, husband?" Feng Ruxue, unlike Xiao Xiao, was already accustomed to her fire phoenix form, enabling her to overcome her fatigue.
As he observed their condition, Ling Yun answered Feng Ruxue's question. "Perhaps we will rest for two days on this floor, especially since the beasts on the 21st floor and above are more numerous and stronger. Furthermore, they are already experiencing boredom due to the repetitiveness of fighting the same beasts on each floor. Therefore, I believe it would be beneficial for them to take a break and rejuvenate their minds and moods before continuing."
"You're not wrong if you decide like that." Mu Yan spoke as she walked towards them. "Usually, it would take us at least a month and a half to reach this floor, but we've already reached this place in just nine days, so it would be better if you gave them a chance to rest first, especially since not all of them are battle maniacs like you."
Ling Yun laughed wryly at Mu Yan's words, especially since he himself would be no different from them if it weren't for his clones continuing to train in the dream space, and he could gain their experience once he canceled his clone technique and pulled them all back.
"I'm bored too, Mo Chen!" Yue Tu suddenly jumped onto Ling Yun's head in her rabbit form, expressing her boredom. "You've made us all work too hard for days, so I wanted to relax to relax my mind and body, or else I will truly die of boredom."
Ling Yun immediately picked up Yue Tu and rubbed her smooth fur. "All right, we will rest on this safe floor for two days, and none of you needs to think about anything else, so your minds and bodies can be more calm and relaxed. Once you are all fresh again, we will go straight to the 21st floor and continue our hunt."
"That's good." Yue Tu replied with a sigh of relief before she closed her eyes to rest, especially since her body was completely exhausted after using so much of her qi in the past five days.
After that, Ling Yun's other women and the other female cultivators also decided to rest their minds and bodies; even the female demi-humans felt exhausted despite their stronger physiques than female humans.
Only a few of them remained awake, such as Zhou Yu, Zhong Chenyu, Mu Yan, and Song Ya, especially since their experience was much higher than that of the other women.
Ling Yun then approached Xuanyuan Xue'er, who was standing alone in front of the gate connecting them to the 20th floor, and asked her. "What are you thinking about, Xue'er?"
"Do you know where Chang'er and the others are now?" Xuanyuan Xue'er asked back as she turned to Ling Yun.
Hearing that, Ling Yun immediately contacted Lian Bing and the others, and they told him that they had just cleared the fifth floor. After all, there were not that many cultivators with them, and only a few had reached the five god realms, so they had to struggle harder to clear each floor.
Ling Yun then informed Xuanyuan Xue'er about the whereabouts of Xuanyuan Chang'er and the others, causing her to exhale in relief. She then took Yue Tu from his embrace and caressed her fur. "Senior Yue seems to like you very much."
"Yes." Ling Yun nodded in agreement before hugging Xuanyuan Xue'er's waist. "Unfortunately, Tu'er is too timid, so we have yet to dual-cultivate."
"Haha." That made Xuanyuan Xue'er laugh softly. "It's not a problem for you to wait for Senior Yue to be ready, right? You brought so many women to this tower, so you can dual-
cultivate with all of them for the time being."
"That's why I never forced Tu'er to dual-cultivate with me, and I will wait until she is fully ready." After that, Ling Yun turned to Xuanyuan Xue'er. "Then, what about you? You should no longer be thinking about living in solitude, right?"
Xuanyuan Xue'er shook her head, then turned to Ling Yun. "After you brought me to live in the dream space for so long, I don't want to spend the rest of my life in solitude anymore, and I want to live a more colorful life with many people by my side."
After hearing that, Ling Yun took a moment to pick up Yue Tu and place him on his head. He then stood in front of Xuanyuan Xue'er, holding her hand and making her heart race. "Do you want to spend the rest of your life with me, Xue'er? Honestly, I've been interested in you for a long time, and you're also interested in me, so I want you to stay by my side for the rest of our lives."
Xuanyuan Xue'er let out a sigh in her heart, especially since she had long guessed that Ling Yun would say that one day. However, she didn't expect that he would say it sooner than she expected, but she herself already felt comfortable having him by her side, and she also felt that it would be hard to be separated from him, especially after everything they had been through together in the dream space.
Seeing the hesitation in her expression, Ling Yun immediately hugged Xuanyuan Xue'er and spoke to her. "All right, don't think about it; I'll wait for you to be ready."
"Thank you for your understanding." Xuanyuan Xue'er replied as she hugged Ling Yun back.
However, Zhou Yu suddenly floated towards them, sharing with Ling Yun the information she had received a few days earlier. "Hey, Lu Yi sent several leaders of the nature races to this tower, and they'll arrive in two days to stop Zhu Ling and Jing Shen, but I'm uncertain if those people can stop both of them."
"Hmm?" Ling Yun released Xuanyuan Xue'er from his embrace and asked Zhou Yu. "How many of them will arrive here? Do you know when Zhu Ling and Jing Shen'll arrive at this tower?"
"According to Hun Lingwang's information, Zhu Ling and Jing Shen will arrive in nine days, so we should start preparing now." Ling Yun frowned after hearing that, but Zhou Yu's next information made him furious. "I didn't want to tell you about this, but Lu Yi ordered one of them to take the extreme measure of sacrificing you for the sake of this universe."
