"Thank you for the lecture, Senior. I learned a lot about demons today." Yuan bowed to her at the end of their lecture.

"We're not done yet." Yan Hara suddenly said.

"Huh?" Yuan tilted his head in a questioning manner.

"Come with me. I'm going to make sure that you're fully prepared to fight the demons."

Yan Hara then brought Yuan to this tall pagoda.

"What is this place?" He asked her.

"Demon Sealing Pagoda. You will get to fight real demons inside'¦ Well, sort of."

"What do you mean by that? They're either real demons or not'¦"

"They are demons created with spiritual energy, so they're not really real, but they act exactly like real demons, and even their power level is the same, so it'll be like fighting against real demons inside."

"This treasure was created by the Divine Paragon, and it was used to train the Demon Sealing Clan back in the days, but it requires a massive amount of spiritual energy to use, so we eventually stopped using it and started training with artificial demons, which is cheaper."

"Another reason we stopped using the treasure is because of its difficulty. Most demon sealers nowadays won't be able to pass the first floor, and there are nine total floors. For the record, I got all the way up to the fourth floor."

"And you want me to train in this pagoda? Are you sure? It's expensive to use, right?" Yuan looked at her.

"One of many perks of being a lecturer in this place is that we get to use the pagoda for free once every 10 years. Of course, it's not really free, since it'll be at the library's expense." Yan Hara smiled.

"What do you think? You wanna give it a go? Rumor has it that if you manage to defeat the tower, you'll get to acquire a legendary demon sealing technique that only the Divine Paragon knows."

"A legendary demon sealing technique?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.

If that is true, he will be able to acquire this technique even without challenging the pagoda. After all, he was the Divine Paragon!

However, he still nodded his head, "Yes, I would like to challenge the tower."

In the end, he still needed practice. Even if he's the reincarnation of the Divine Paragon, it was not as though he has all of his previous memories and experiences.

"Alright, give me some time to prepare. I also need to let the library know that I will be using the pagoda."

"Okay."

About half an hour later, Yan Hara returned to the pagoda and said, "Whenever you're ready."

"I am ready."

Yan Hara then retrieved a golden key and used it to unlock the doors to the pagoda.

"You will get the rules once you are inside. The demons inside will be adjusted to match your power level, so you don't need to worry about being overwhelmed by a demon that you cannot defeat. However, this also means that you won't be able to dominate the demons like you normally do."

"I understand." Yuan nodded, and he opened the door.

The moment Yuan entered the pagoda, the door slammed shut, and the pagoda suddenly started trembling with excitement.

"W-What is going on? This has never happened before'¦" Yan Hara muttered in a dazed voice.

Suddenly, an outburst of demon sealing aura exploded from the Demon Sealing Pagoda, sweeping the Grand Library with a massive amount of demon sealing aura.

When the demon sealers within the Grand Library felt this ancient and unfathomable demon sealing aura, their bodies began trembling nonstop, almost as though it was reacting to the demon sealing aura.

"W-Whose demon sealing aura does this belong to?! I have never felt such a powerful demon sealing aura in my life!" The lecturers within the Grand Library were shocked speechless by this phenomenon.

The entire Grand Library became nervous when this unknown demon sealing aura filled the place. Their initial thought was that a peak demon sealer had appeared within the Grand Library, so they immediately began looking around for the source of this demon sealing aura.

Meanwhile, back at the Demon Sealing Pagoda, Yan Hara was staring at the top of the pagoda with a dazed look on her face for some reason.

"D-Divine Paragon'¦?" She muttered in a low voice.

After the powerful demon sealing aura exploded from the pagoda, she noticed a figure had suddenly appeared on top of the pagoda, causing her to look.

And to her absolute shock, there was a person hovering directly above the pagoda, and he looked awfully like Yuan, but he was much older and had this irresistible charm around him.

"I-Impossible'¦ This must be an illusion caused by the Demon Sealing Pagoda, but why'¦?"

"D-Divine Paragon?! Is that really you?!" Yan Hara spoke to him after snapping out of her daze.

The Divine Paragon suddenly looked down at Yan Hara and showed her a gentle smile before looking down at the pagoda that was right beneath him with a profound expression on his face.

Yan Hara's heart nearly exploded into countless pieces from excitement when she saw the Divine Paragon's smile that was directed at her, and it felt like a dream.

Eventually, more people began appearing at the Demon Sealing Pagoda after tracking the demon sealing aura.

Of course, everyone that saw the Divine Paragon was shocked speechless at first.

"Y-Yan Hara! What's going on here?! Why is'¦ Why is the Divine Paragon here?!" Tang Zheng asked her after he arrived.

"I-I have no idea. He suddenly showed up after Yuan entered the Demon Sealing Pagoda'¦" Yan Hara explained.

"Yuan?" Tang Zheng turned to look at the pagoda.

"What in heavens' name is happening?"

Meanwhile, inside the pagoda, Yuan was currently being told the rules of the pagoda.

Of course, the voice belonged to the Divine Paragon.

"Welcome to the Demon Sealing Pagoda, young demon sealer. I will now tell you the rules of this place.. If you break any of them, you'll automatically be casted out of this place."
