A voice from behind sounded, and the two attendants turned to look.
Only to see a woman dressed in rough and sturdy attire standing behind them.
âWho are you?!â
âThis place is a sacred ground of the sect. Outsiders, leave quickly, or I wonât be polite in warning you!â
Both of them spoke sternly, their palms already resting on their magical tools. They didnât recognize this woman. The mountain gate was hidden and heavily guarded. The fact that she appeared here without a sound indicated that she was not ordinary.
The woman spoke lightly, âYou were just discussing me. Donât you even know who I am?â
âDiscussing you?â
The two of them were taken aback by her words.
One of them thought of something, his expression changed, and he stuttered, âCould you beâŚ?â
âŚ
Buzz.
At this moment, the sect token at their waist trembled slightly. It was an instruction from the stationed guardian: âThe Eastern Saint is coming out. Everyone, prepare to receive.â
The two finally realized the womanâs identity.
âWe pay our respects to the Eastern Saint!â
Looking at the two kneeling hurriedly, Yu Jiao Longâs expression remained indifferent, and she asked, âWhat were you just saying about the relationship between me and the Shengzi?â
âWe apologize to the Eastern Saint!â
âWe, humble subordinates, shouldnât speak recklessly. Please donât take offense, Eastern Saint!â
The twoâs expressions were filled with fear, and they trembled. According to reason, a powerful figure like Yu Jiao Long should take at least half a year to close a door. Who would have thought she would come out so quickly?
Otherwise, even if they were given ten times more courage, they wouldnât dare to discuss the Eastern Saint behind her back!
This situation was quite dire!
At this moment, the sound of footsteps echoed, and a group of people walked quickly through the mountain gate. Seeing the two guards kneeling on the ground, the leading guardian was taken aback for a moment. He hurriedly approached Yu Jiao Long and led everyone to kneel before her.
âWe respectfully welcome the Eastern Saintâs emergence.â
âWe respectfully welcome the Eastern Saintâs emergence.â
Yu Jiao Long fell silent, and the air grew quiet.
The guardian looked up. Compared to the terrifying aura when she had just arrived, Yu Jiao Longâs oppressive feeling now was not as strong. She had become profound and reserved.
If before she was like a cold and intimidating sword, now she had sheathed the sword, hiding all her sharpness.
âEastern Saint⌠Have you achieved another breakthrough?â the guardian cautiously asked. The news of the Eastern Saint reaching the pinnacle of tribulation realm had already spread throughout the entire Linlang.
What kind of realm lay beyond the tribulation?
He didnât even dare to think about it!
Yu Jiao Long didnât answer but instead asked, âAnd the Shengzi?â
The guardian replied, âSince you entered seclusion, the Shengzi left for the wilderness realm. The exact location, I am not aware of.â
Yu Jiao Longâs brows slightly furrowed.
Su Shi had said he would return soon, yet she had been in seclusion for several days, and there was no news at all. Could he have encountered trouble?
Yu Jiao Long didnât want to wait any longer. She lifted her leg and took a step, causing ripples in the void as her figure dissipated into thin air. âCrossing through the void?!â
The guardianâs pupils shrank to the size of a needle.
Could it be that the Eastern Saint had truly reached such a transcendent state? After Yu Jiao Long left, the two guards collapsed weakly on the ground. Their back clothes were soaked with cold sweat, feeling as if they had just been through the gates of hell.
âFrom now on, keep that foul mouth of yours in check!â
âHow would I have known that the Eastern Saint would come out so quickly?â
âBut⌠the Eastern Saint doesnât seem so angry.â
The guard scratched his head.
According to the temperament of the Blue Dragon Eastern Saint, even if they werenât killed, they would have to shed a layer of skin. How could it be so easy to deal with? âCould it be that the Eastern Saint and the Shengzi are reallyâŚâ
âShut up!â
###
Outside the temple.
A figure appeared in the sky above the clouds.
Looking at the vast wilderness below, Yu Jiao Longâs eyebrows slightly furrowed.
The Barbarian Realm was so vast that finding Su Shi was akin to finding a needle in the ocean. Even if she used her divine sense the entire way, she wouldnât know how long it would take.
âWhere on earth has he gone?â
Just as she was at a loss, she noticed several figures passing below, their conversation faintly reaching her ears:
âThe situation in the Kodo City has escalated!â
âYes, who would have thought the harbinger actually arrived?â
âThe Shengzi of the Netherworld Sect and the little fox princess of the Fox Clan⌠tsk tsk, itâs really quite unexpected.â
âThe Eagle Clan has lost so much face. They might not give up easily. They will likely report to the PatriarchâŚâ
Suddenly, the conversation came to a halt. Several people stopped in their tracks, looking at the woman who had appeared before them. Xing Ke furrowed his brows and said, âWho are you? Why are you blocking our way?â
The next second, a silver spear was pressed against his throat.
âHow do we get to the Kodo City?â
ââŚâ
Inside the Black Absolute Death Ground, within the Demon Sealing Tower.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Shi emerged from the state of profundity, gradually restoring his consciousness.
He slowly opened his eyes, and purple light radiated from his pupils. The air was filled with an intense imperial pressure.
The black fragments suspended in the air fell into his hand.
âI didnât expect that comprehending the Primordial Great Dao would still be able to activate the star chart,â Su Shi was somewhat surprised.
The fragments of the Nine Ancient Bells he obtained this time brought him significant benefits. Not only did they mend the gap in his dantianâs small bell, but they also enhanced his understanding of the Great Harmony of Mixed Nine Elements. He had broken through to a higher level once again shortly after his previous breakthrough.
Moreover, the star chartâs rotation speed had increased. The radiant light of the central Violet Emperor Star illuminated the other stars, and the abundant stellar power continuously nourished his meridians, nurturing Su Shiâs vitality and spirit.
It was constantly strengthening his essence.
At this moment, a system prompt sounded in his ears:
ăBy passing the third level test of the Demon-Locking Tower, affecting the development of the plot, you have gained 50 plot points.ă
Passing the first level test earned him 30 plot points, the second level earned 40 points, and adding this levelâs reward, he now had 120 plot points.
And for the Locking Demon Tower with a total of twelve levels, this was just the beginning.
âIf I can reach the towerâs pinnacle, could I acquire the complete Nine Ancient Bells?â
Su Shiâs anticipation grew stronger.
However, just as he reached the staircase, ready to ascend to the fourth level, an invisible wall of air blocked his path. âHmm?â
Su Shiâs brows furrowed.
Could it be that this levelâs trial hadnât ended?
Then, everything before his eyes went dark. He found himself once again involuntarily turning amidst a world-shifting swirl. When he opened his eyes again, he realized he was standing outside the black tower.
Yu Renâer and Wang Que stood next to him, looking perplexed.
Evidently, they had been âexpelledâ by the Demon-Locking Tower.
âWhatâs going onâŚâ
Wang Queâs words were cut short as the key lodged in the Demon-Locking Towerâs gate flew up into the air. Reflexively, he caught it, but he noticed that the black tower had lost its luster, seeming to have turned into an ordinary stone.
Even when inserted again, there was no response. Su Shi furrowed his brow, âCould it be that the energy of this Demon-Locking Tower has been depleted?â
