Upon hearing Zhu Fei say this, the others present naturally had no further objections.
It was a joke; if the person involved had no issues, then what could these bystanders criticize?
Certainly, it's not worth causing a rift with Kong Yuan over something worth a mere few million.
Thus, in the following moments, Kong Yuan allocated the amount of Immortal Crystals according to each person's contribution, giving it to everyone present.
Meanwhile, Zhu Fei gained a full sixty million low-grade Immortal Crystals from this transaction.
Slaying a Red Flame Giant Troll allowed Zhu Fei to quickly earn sixty million low-grade Immortal Crystals.
There's no denying that the Divine Burning Tower indeed holds enormous opportunities.
With that, the group did not continue to linger and followed Bai Shan towards the second level of the Divine Burning Tower.
Along the way, Meng You walked beside Zhu Fei, expressing apologies somewhat regretfully, "Mr. Ye, thank you so much for earlier. It was my misunderstanding; I sincerely apologize."
Upon hearing Meng You's apology, Zhu Fei merely smiled lightly and shook his head, saying:
"Mr. Meng, don't worry about it. I didn't take it to heart; what happened is already in the past."
"Hmm, thank you."
Meng You's eyes showed visible gratitude at Zhu Fei's response.
...
About half a month later, everyone, led by Bai Shan, finally reached the entrance to the second level of the Divine Burning Tower.
During this half month, they encountered several Monster attacks, but after a series of intense battles, they faced no real danger.
On the contrary, due to slaying the Monsters, they gained quite a bit.
In addition, Zhu Fei and the others picked some Spiritual Medicine along the way.
Although the quality of these Spiritual Herbs wasn't high, the quantity was substantial.
Overall, the past half month had been relatively smooth for Zhu Fei and his companions.
Presently, Zhu Fei and the others are standing at the stairs leading to the second level entrance.
According to Bai Shan's previous explanation, the first requirement to enter the second level of the Divine Burning Tower is to rely on one's own strength to complete the staircase.
Anyone unable to pass the staircase cannot enter the second level.
"Who among you would like to go first?"
At this moment, Bai Shan looked at them with a smile and asked, not showing any signs of concern.
After all, among these few people, even the weakest among them possesses Heavenly Immortal Peak cultivation.
With such strength, walking up to the second level's staircase, not even the third staircase would pose much of a problem.
"I'll go first."
Kong Yuan was the first to step forward. He glanced at the stairway that ascended upward, took a slight breath, and then immediately stepped up.
"Buzz!"
As soon as Kong Yuan stepped onto the stairs, everyone below could clearly see a transparent yet palpable ripple suddenly sweep over his body.
This caused Kong Yuan, who was walking upward, to sway slightly for unknown reasons.
But quickly, Kong Yuan's body returned to normal and continued walking up.
Over the next period, each step Kong Yuan took, his body was subjected to varying degrees of interference by ripples.
Yet, Kong Yuan's strong cultivation resisted all the ripples, preventing further shaking.
Thus, Kong Yuan spent roughly ten minutes to finally traverse the staircase.
His figure slightly shimmered and vanished from the sight of those present.
Seeing Kong Yuan smoothly completing the staircase and directly being transported to the second level, Meng You stepped forward.
She nodded towards the group and immediately stepped onto the stairs.
Though Meng You appeared somewhat unsteady while climbing the stairs, taking longer than Kong Yuan, she too completed the staircase and was transported to the second level.
Afterward, several others ascended the stairs, ultimately being transported to the second level.
At this point, only Zhu Fei, Bai Shan, and the concealed Jiang Yuan were left in the scene.
Bai Shan turned to Zhu Fei, chuckled, and said, "Brother Ye, why don't you go up first? I and Brother Jiang will keep an eye on things here."
"Hmm."
Upon hearing Bai Shan's words, Zhu Fei intently looked at Bai Shan and Jiang Yuan, then smiled faintly, and without further ado stepped onto the staircase.
As soon as Zhu Fei stepped onto the stairs, he felt a strange yet vaguely familiar aura suddenly assault his body.
Zhu Fei instinctively wanted to run his Immortal Essence to resist, but unexpectedly, the Yellow Heaven Umbrella deep within his Purple Mansion suddenly reacted.
The Yellow Heaven Umbrella's form trembled slightly, and next second, the force charging towards him utterly vanished!
This unexpected change startled Zhu Fei.
He hastily observed Bai Shan's and Jiang Yuan's reactions below. Fortunately, they seemed oblivious to the fluctuation of the Yellow Heaven Umbrella.
This let Zhu Fei breathe a sigh of relief while contemplating deeply.
From what happened, the current fluctuation targeting them might be the power from the Supreme Treasure Fragment.
If that's the case, then the rumors of a Supreme Treasure Fragment within the Divine Burning Tower might indeed be true.
Thinking of this, Zhu Fei started feeling excited.
Although it's just a fragment of a Supreme Treasure, it's a fragment of the Thirty-Three Heavens Treasures.
If he could obtain and refine it, it would undoubtedly enhance his strength significantly.
Despite the Yellow Heaven Umbrella being complete, it limits Zhu Fei's usage.
But the Supreme Treasure Fragment is different; even if he couldn't fully utilize its power, he could still wield portions of it.
Though excited internally and his emotions surging, Zhu Fei maintained outward calm.
He feigned certain delays, reacting like a typical Profound Immortal Cultivator; after roughly ten minutes, he finally reached the top of the staircase.
As soon as Zhu Fei stepped onto the top of the stairs, a spatial transmission force suddenly embraced him.
Zhu Fei didn't resist and let the force fully envelop him.
When he landed again, he astonishingly found himself standing on a platform in the second level of the Divine Burning Tower!
