Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven
#1010 - The Tower of Trials is open
As the night deepened, silence fell upon the Trial Tower.
The people who had come to watch the excitement did not leave.
These were all cultivators, naturally unafraid of sleeping outdoors.
The Trial Tower had stood here for hundreds of years. Every three years, the strong from the Four Sects, or sometimes three, would bring their disciples here for trials.
It was said that since the Trial Tower appeared, no one had ever reached the seventh floor. No one knew what was above the seventh floor.
The Star Observation City at night was not as dimly lit as other cities.
It was only the beginning of June, and the moon was just a faint crescent, but this city was very bright.
The light did not come from the crescent moon, but from the countless brilliant stars in the sky.
Jun Wuxie quietly looked at the starry sky, awestruck by the scene.
In this city, looking at the starry sky revealed a vast expanse of stars, densely packed like countless shining lights, illuminating the night sky.
"No wonder this place is called Star Observation City. It seems the city's name comes from this."
Jun Wuxie carefully looked around, sensing the earth with his Dao of Talismans, confirming that there were no special fields.
He used his Talisman Dao pupils to look at the heavens, but he gained nothing.
"It seems that my current Talisman Dao realm is too low. When I have time, I still need to break through to the Saint Realm and become a Saint Talisman Master…"
This scene made him realize that there must be an extremely powerful field in existence, otherwise it would be impossible for such a scene of a sea of stars to appear.
After all, this was not an anomaly; those were real stars.
"Grandmaster Qingmu, this Star Observation City is quite special. Has anyone ever studied why this scene forms?"
He secretly communicated with Qingmu Zhenren.
"It is said that there is a special talisman array field. Throughout the ages, many strong individuals have come here to explore the secrets, but no one has succeeded." Qingmu Zhenren paused slightly before saying, "A long time ago, an incredibly powerful being came to the sky above this city and stayed for a very long time, but in the end, only left behind a helpless sigh."
"In that case, that field is extraordinary…"
Jun Wuxie did not continue the topic, but he could not help but ponder in his heart.
The talisman array field here had once attracted a super strong individual, but he did not know what realm that super powerful being Qingmu Zhenren spoke of was in.
However, the spectacle of Star Observation City had been like this for countless ages. Over this long period, it would not just make the people of Qingzhou curious. It would inevitably attract strong individuals from farther away.
If he deduced it like that, then the so-called super powerful being probably came from some large force.
All the forces on the entire Canglan Ancient Star should know about the field in the sky above this city. Many people would inevitably be curious about it and come here to explore its secrets.
However, to this day, no one has succeeded, which is shocking.
What kind of talisman array field could achieve such a degree?
Where is that field located, within the atmosphere, or in the starry sky corresponding to this city?
Obviously, such a level of field could not be formed naturally, because in the air, it has no conditions to form naturally, which means it was artificially arranged.
He secretly asked Qingmu Zhenren whether such a scene could be seen every night, or only during a fixed period of the year.
Qingmu Zhenren told him that it was like this every day.
"In that case, the field is either within the atmosphere or moving in the starry sky with the trajectory of the Canglan Ancient Star…"
Jun Wuxie could not help but think that the artificially created field, which even super strong individuals could not overcome, must have come from the hands of a Saint Talisman Master with an extremely high realm.
That Saint Talisman Master would not be idle enough to set up a talisman array field just to allow the people of this city to view the sea of stars. There must be something in that field.
Is it sealing some kind of creature, or is it hiding a secret?
"I must come and take a look when my Talisman Dao breaks through in the future!"
Jun Wuxie realized that there must be amazing things inside that field, either suppressing a great fiend, or hiding something left behind by that Talisman Master, otherwise he would not have set up a talisman array of this level.
Thinking of this, he retracted his gaze, closed his eyes, and took advantage of the time waiting for the Trial Tower to open to study the Primordial Talisman Dao.
In this process, he felt a series of cold gazes occasionally falling on him.
His divine sense easily locked onto the source of the gazes, which were the foundation experts and disciples of the Three Sects.
The killing intent in these gazes was extremely intense. If Grandmaster Qingmu and the others were not here, it was estimated that those foundation experts would have rushed up long ago to tear him to pieces.
"Your time is running out. Cherish it. As long as the disciples of your Three Sects don't seek death, they can still survive, otherwise I don't mind having a bloody feast."
Jun Wuxie ignored those gazes and focused on studying the Primordial Talisman Dao.
However, he discovered a problem. Cultivating the Talisman Dao in a conventional way, relying on his own insights, even if his Talisman Dao insight realm was deep, the power of Qiankun needed for Talisman Dao cultivation could not keep up.
Normally speaking, it might take a very long time for others to cultivate the Talisman Dao. During this long period, it would be enough to accumulate the power of Qiankun to the critical point of breakthrough.
But he was different. With Talisman Saint Master's Talisman Dao insights, his comprehension speed was much faster than normal.
"Qiankun energy, I need Qiankun gemstones. I wonder if Qiankun gemstones in the Upper Realm are popular goods and easy to obtain. According to the number of Talisman Masters in the Upper Realm, Qiankun gemstones are probably very scarce. And I not only need Qiankun gemstones to cultivate Talisman Dao energy, but also to forge Qiankun battle armor…"
He thought that in the future, when he goes to a place with more abundant resources, he must pay attention to Qiankun gemstones. Before that, he still has to try to get Saint Spirit Pills as much as possible. In case some treasure shops in the Upper Realm sell Qiankun gemstones, he would only be able to stare blankly if he doesn't have money on him.
Aunt Jing does have Saint Spirit Pills on her. With her realm and status, the number of Saint Spirit Pills must be quite a lot, but eating soft rice is still not a good idea…
The night quickly passed, ushering in the light of dawn.
The morning sun broke through the clouds, casting golden sunlight.
Jun Wuxie opened his eyes.
After one night, his Talisman Dao insights only had some slight gains, and there was still a long way to go before breaking through to the Saint Realm.
The Talisman Dao is difficult. For him, it is much more difficult than cultivation.
This is still with the insights and experiences of Talisman Saint Master. If there were none, it would probably be like looking at a heavenly book.
"A new day has arrived, and the Trial Tower, which opens once every three years, is about to open." Elder Yu stood up, walked to the front of the Trial Tower, stood still, looked at the people from the Four Sects, and said, "Since the Trial Tower was opened hundreds of years ago, no one has ever been able to reach the seventh floor. This is a regret for the people of our Great Qian. This time, I hope that someone among you can start the unprecedented and become the first person to reach the seventh floor!"
Saying this, he began to announce the rules: "In view of the newcomers joining the trial, the rules in the tower, this old man still has to repeat them. All those who enter the tower must go through the trials of each floor to open the passage to the second floor. The trial is for the non-physical beings summoned in the tower, and at least nine waves of beings must be blocked and killed."
Elder Yu began to activate the talisman array diagram on the door of the Trial Tower, and said: "Entering the Trial Tower, you can look for the Saint Spirit Stone Tower inside. Injecting energy into the Stone Tower can activate the magic circle there, start the trial, and resist the attack. If you can't stop the creatures in the Trial Tower and encounter a life-threatening danger, you can close the Stone Tower talisman array and escape to the exit, leaving the Trial Tower from the reception talisman array."
On the gate of the Trial Tower, the runes of the talisman array lit up, becoming more and more brilliant, gradually forming a colorless light gate, filled with the power of space.
"The Trial Tower has been opened, now please the disciples of the Four Sects participating in the trial enter the tower!"
Elder Yu took a few steps back, moved aside, and stood next to the gate of the Trial Tower.
"Qian Hao, Chen Li, we are waiting for you inside, it is best not to be found by us!"
The personal and core disciples of the Rising Sun Sect made a throat-cutting gesture to them, extremely arrogant.
If they can't deal with Yue Wuxie, can't they deal with Qian Hao and Chen Li?
"Are you seeking death?"
Jun Wuxie looked coldly at the people of the Rising Sun Sect. They dared to provoke him like this, expressing their killing intent in public. This was simply lighting a lantern in a dung pit.
"Don't be arrogant, you died so miserably yesterday, have you forgotten the pain so quickly after your scars have healed?"
Qian Hao and Chen Li retorted, making the killing intent in the eyes of the Rising Sun Sect even more intense.
"Don't talk about yesterday, we are waiting to reap you!"
They now have the confidence. When they reach the Trial Tower, everyone's trial must be carried out separately.
As long as they suppress any one of Qian Hao and Chen Li while that Yue Wuxie is on trial, then Yue Wuxie can only act out of fear. At that time, there will be ways to deal with him!
And during the trial, they cannot be attacked by others, unless they wait for the trial to end.
If they encounter Yue Wuxie during the trial, they can immediately contact others. As long as others give up the trial and rush over, hundreds of people will attack at the same time. Who can resist it?
The most important thing is that their foundation experts secretly gave them mid-grade Saint Weapons last night, which are weapons corresponding to the Saint King level.
Although they cannot exert the power of a Saint King level by urging them, it is not a problem to join forces to besiege and kill that Yue. Will there be any suspense?
At this time, the people from Lieshan Sect and Zixia Cave also walked to the front of the Trial Tower, all looking at Jun Wuxie, Qian Hao, and Chen Li with cold eyes, with a cruel look on their faces.
The disciples of the Three Sects exchanged something with each other.
Jun Wuxie saw that these people were exchanging spiritual talisman marks. In this way, even if they didn't know where the other party was, they could use the spiritual talisman to transmit messages to each other.
"Yue, we are waiting for you!"
The disciples of the Three Sects successively passed through the light gate and entered the Trial Tower.
"You don't have to go."
Jun Wuxie turned to look at Qian Hao and Chen Li.
He knew that Grand Ancestor Qingmu had them come only to cover for himself, attracting the attention of the Three Sects, Ning Wangfu, and Elder Yu sent by the Emperor.
However, after yesterday's battle, he received much attention, so it was meaningless for Qian Hao and Chen Li to enter the Trial Tower again.
The disciples of the Three Sects all wanted to kill them quickly. Entering the tower was extremely dangerous for them, and there was basically no chance of survival.
“This…”
Qian Hao and Chen Li really wanted to see what the Trial Tower looked like, and their hearts were eager to try, but they also knew what they would face.
“Listen to him, you stay.”
Realist Qingmu spoke, Qian Hao and Chen Li sighed and sat down again.
“What, is Qingyun afraid?”
The powerful elders of the Three Sects saw that Yue Wu Xie and Qingmu were not letting Qian Hao and Chen Li enter the tower, and couldn't help but sneer.
“You laugh quite lewdly. I’m just afraid that in the end, you will cry your hearts out.”
Jun Wu Xie said lightly, and walked towards the entrance of the Trial Tower.
“Boy, you are arrogant, but I just don’t know if you can still be so arrogant when you get inside the tower!”
The powerful elders of the Three Sects sneered repeatedly.
Last night, they secretly discussed and took out all the middle-grade Saint artifacts they had to give to the disciples in the trial.
Almost everyone had a middle-grade Saint artifact. Working together to activate the Saint artifacts, let alone one Jun Wu Xie, even if several more Jun Wu Xies came, they would die without a burial place!
Just a cultivator in the Saint Realm!
Even if he is a body cultivator with extremely high talent and growth potential, it is still too tender for him to fight them!
This time entering the tower, the boy surnamed Yue will undoubtedly die, without any suspense!
Jun Wu Xie ignored them and passed through the light gate, entering the tower.
After coming in, he found himself on a teleportation array. He looked around at the surrounding environment.
Behind him was a solid tower wall, engraved with runes that emitted a faint light.
In front of him was a vast world, and looking to both sides, he could vaguely see many similar teleportation array areas.
“It seems that entering through the outer gate does not lead to the same place. People will appear in different teleportation array areas separately. This may be to prevent those who enter first from ambushing the trial takers who enter later.”
This kind of protection measure is good, but Jun Wu Xie doesn't like it very much.
It's too troublesome, and he has to go find them.
He didn't rush to find the Saint Spirit Stone Tower, but spread out his divine sense to sense the location of the Three Sects' disciples, but found nothing.
“It seems that the different batches of people who came in were teleported very far away.”
Jun Wu Xie took action, summoned Lan Lan, and let it use the Super God Technique, speeding like a blue light shuttling through the world in the tower.
Lan Lan's current realm has been raised along with his breakthrough, and it is already at the eighth level of the Saint Realm, equivalent to the late stage of the middle Heaven position of a Saint.
His base speed has increased a lot, reaching thirty times the speed of sound after using the Super God Speed.
During this process, Jun Wu Xie released his divine sense to its strongest state, constantly searching for the location of the Three Sects' disciples.
Before long, he finally sensed them.
They were disciples of Lieshan Sect, a group of more than forty people, who were moving quickly.
“Let's join up with the people from Xuri Sect and Zixia Cave Heaven earlier. At that time, we will go together to find that Yue Wu Xie, Qian Hao, and Chen Li!”
“The one surnamed Yue is too arrogant. We must make him kneel on the ground and cry bitterly, watching him struggle in pain and despair, and then slowly torture him to death to vent the hatred in our hearts!”
“I will peel off his skin bit by bit, listen to his miserable screams, watch him suffer in pain, but can only slowly wait for the despair of death!”
… …
When the disciples of the Three Sects were on their way, they talked excitedly, their faces full of joy, as if they had already seen such a scene.
Jun Wu Xie captured all their words with his divine sense hundreds of miles away.
These people are really courting death, constantly provoking frantically on the edge of death.
Lan Lan's speed was extremely fast, and in a short while, it crossed hundreds of miles.
The people of Lieshan Sect only saw a blue light coming from the distant sky in an instant, stopping in front of them.
At first, they were shocked, but when they saw clearly who it was, a cold light burst out in their eyes.
“It’s you!”
There were five personal disciples here at Lieshan Sect. The corners of their mouths curled up in a cruel smile, and they looked at the blue exotic beast under Jun Wu Xie with shock, and greed appeared in their eyes.
“Boy, we were just planning to hunt you down. I didn’t expect you to come to our door yourself. Should we say you are confident or are you here to die?”
A personal disciple sneered repeatedly, looking at Lan Lan with hot and greedy eyes.
What kind of exotic beast is that, its speed is so amazing, but its realm is not high, it is just a Saint-level exotic beast.
If he could snatch this exotic beast, who else in the same realm could compare to him in speed?
“Your dream should wake up.”
Jun Wu Xie's expression was calm, and he looked at the disciples of Lieshan Sect as if he were looking at corpses.
He rode Lan Lan towards them, his pace neither fast nor slow.
“Hahaha! Boy, do you think you can still be as fierce as you were yesterday? Do you know that last night our powerful elders gave us all the middle-grade Saint artifacts, just to kill you in this Trial Tower today!”
As soon as the personal disciple finished speaking, the forty or so people quickly separated, and a large bow engraved with dense runes appeared behind each person.
Those large bows trembled slightly, and the runes on them all lit up, bright and dazzling.
A trembling sound rang out.
Under their urging, the middle-grade Saint bows automatically drew to their full extent.
A terrifying arrow intent permeated, like a storm sweeping in all directions, causing the sky and mountains here to tremble.
The rune arrows filled with murderous intent burned with flames, all locked on Jun Wu Xie.
“Don’t say you are only in the Saint Realm, even if you are a Saint King in the Small Heaven position, you will definitely die today! Who can resist dozens of middle-grade Saint bows!” The personal disciple who seemed to be the leader in Lieshan Sect instructed the others: “Remember not to hurt that exotic beast, and don’t shoot his head, shoot his body, leave him a breath, we will slowly torture him, it would be too cheap for him to die too quickly!”
“Middle-grade Saint bows, the strongest can exert the power of a Saint King. They are indeed very strong weapons, but unfortunately, in your hands, they are like scrap iron. If you want to kill me, let alone dozens of Saint bows, even if you give you hundreds of thousands more, it’s useless, because you trash don’t even have the qualifications to break my defense.”
Jun Wu Xie's voice was very calm, just stating a fact.
But these words, when heard in the ears of the people of Lieshan Sect, made their anger rush straight to their heads!
“Damn it, this kid’s mouth is too hard, shoot him!”
The leading personal disciple of Lieshan Sect roared.
In an instant, the flame arrows on dozens of fully drawn middle-grade Saint bows left the string, bursting out with a rolling thunderous sound.
The power of those arrows caused the sky and the earth to shake violently, like dozens of roaring fire snakes rushing over.
Clang!
Almost at the same time, Jun Wu Xie, riding on Lan Lan's back, stretched out his right hand and flicked a finger forward, and the sound of a sword resounded through the mountains and rivers.
A piece of dazzling crimson light flashed, and the sword wave swept out like a tide.
The smiles on the faces of the grinning Lieshan Sect members solidified, their pupils dilated sharply, and a look of horror appeared on their faces.
What did they see?
That one surnamed Yue casually flicked a finger, and the crimson sword wave swept, unexpectedly destroying all the rune arrows shot by their middle-grade Saint bows in a destructive manner.
Even the arrows shot by the strongest personal disciple among them urging the middle-grade Saint bow were the same.
It was as if those were not rune arrows shot by middle-grade Saint bows, but weeds thrown by children!
“No… How could this be!”
Buzz…
The sword wave surged, and the murderous intent swept across the eight wastelands and six harmonies.
All the rune arrows instantly collapsed.
The people of Lieshan Sect screamed and turned around to run.
But the sword wave swept in a fan shape, the range became larger and larger, and the speed was too fast.
Before they could run far, the crimson and crystal sword wave rushed past with terrifying sword intent.
“Ah!!!”
A scream resounded through the mountains and fields.
The forty or so disciples of Lieshan Sect fell from the sky like dumplings, blood mist filled the air, and their bodies disintegrated into pieces upon landing.
“Courting death.”
Jun Wu Xie stepped forward, waved his sleeves, and collected the Na rings from the shattered corpses and put them into his own Na ring.
He didn't look at the resources inside. He thought that people in these realms didn't have any good resources, at least he couldn't use them.
But he didn't want to waste them. After returning, he could give them to Zhou Ling, Zhou Meng, and Lin Sheng, whom he met during the entry assessment, and the rest could be thrown into the sect's resource hall.
“Lan Lan, let's go!”
Jun Wu Xie continued to spread out his divine sense on Lan Lan's back to search.
After solving Lieshan Sect, there are still Xuri Sect and Zixia Cave Heaven left.
The people of the Three Sects planned to kill him in the Trial Tower last night. Wasn't he also planning to destroy them all in this Trial Tower?
“I wonder what the expressions of the powerful elders of the Three Sects will be when they know. I guess they won’t be able to laugh. It’s possible that they will cry their hearts out.”
The corners of his mouth raised slightly. What the Three Sects had done to Qingyun in the past would have to be repaid little by little!
