Chapter 114: Seventh Level of Spiritual Refining
c_t;The Flying Dragon Tower has nine floors, and the tower is a space of its own. [Fast updates, clean website pages, few ads, I like this kind of website the most, must give a thumbs up]
It is said that if you can reach the seventh floor of the Flying Dragon Tower, you will get rich rewards. It is the place where the great forces in ancient times used to test their disciples.
Tianwu Kingdom was founded thousands of years ago. Over the endless years, there are no more than ten martial artists who can reach the seventh floor.
Moreover, the Flying Dragon Tower is of the same lineage as the Xuanyou Secret Realm, and the condition for entering must be under 30 years old.
In the records of the history of Tianwu Kingdom, before the age of 30, even if the genius cultivated by the great forces with all their resources can only cultivate to the seventh level of the soul refining realm at most.
And even the top geniuses of the seventh level of the soul refining, there are still no more than ten who can reach the seventh floor of the Flying Dragon Tower, which shows its difficulty.
As for whether anyone reached the ninth floor in that distant ancient era, no one knows. At least in the records of Tianwu Kingdom, the highest record is the seventh floor.
The warships flew over, and more than a thousand Black Tiger soldiers around the Flying Dragon Tower were all ready for battle.
Luo Xiu looked down and saw that these Black Tiger soldiers were all wearing black armor, and their helmets were shaped like tiger heads. They gathered together to form a large formation, and the aura of killing was condensed, and there was a faint and terrifying aura that made people's hearts palpitate.
This is the Black Tiger Army of the Tianwu Kingdom's royal family that intimidates the world. A team of a thousand people gathered together to form a formation. Even the powerful King of Martial Arts would have to retreat.
It is said that Tianwu Kingdom has a total of 10,000 Black Tiger soldiers, with a thousand people in a team, led by ten Kings of Martial Arts.
A team of a thousand Black Tiger soldiers can easily destroy forces like Xiaoyao Sect and Leiwu Sect.
Prince Nanrong stood on the deck and said loudly: "This king is ordered to be responsible for the battle for the quota of thirteen counties. This is the king's decree."
As he spoke, Prince Nanrong took out a golden decree, raised his hand and threw it, and the decree unfolded in the air.
There was no written record on the imperial edict. After it was unfolded, a majestic golden human-shaped shadow emerged.
"Five hundred heroes from thirteen counties are allowed to enter the Feilong Tower. The Black Tiger Army must not stop them and station them three hundred meters away to guard." The human-shaped shadow slowly spoke, and the voice echoed across the world.
At the same time, a vast and unpredictable majesty spread. Under the oppression of this majesty, everyone had an urge to kneel down and worship.
This is the king of Tianwu Kingdom. Just a trace of divine consciousness imprinted on the imperial edict to manifest a shadow can deter the world.
"Yes!"
The Black Tiger Army below shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky.
In an instant, the Black Tiger Army evacuated the vicinity of the Feilong Tower in an orderly manner and stationed three hundred meters away from the Feilong Tower.
The imperial edict closed, the shadow of the king disappeared, and the golden imperial edict flew back to Prince Nanrong's hands. Read the latest chapter in full text
Then, the warship slowly landed and hovered dozens of meters away from the ground near the Feilong Tower.
"The 500 people who will compete in the second round will go down." Prince Nanrong said.
"Yes!"
Everyone responded, and then they either flew into the sky or leaped down, landing on the open ground near the Feilong Tower.
Compared with the Feilong Tower of Xiaoyao Gate, this real Feilong Tower is more magnificent, and a green jade stele stands next to it.
Prince Nanrong and many powerful martial kings from major forces did not get off the warship. Prince Nanrong spoke again and said, "Everyone come forward and imprint your breath on the jade stele."
Only by imprinting your breath on the green jade stele, after entering the Feilong Tower, the jade stele will show which level you have entered, and use this to judge a person's performance.
Five hundred people released their spiritual consciousness, sensed, and imprinted their breath on the jade stele. One by one, their names emerged, and according to the results of the first round of survival competition, the rankings were listed.
Points are marked behind the ranking. After entering the Feilong Tower, the first three floors cannot get any points. Only when entering the fourth floor, you can get 100 points, the fifth floor 200 points, the sixth floor 400 points, the seventh floor 800 points, the eighth floor 1,600 points, and the ninth floor 3,200 points.
This series of screening and elimination has already gone through thousands of years.
Luo Xiu took a look at his points and ranked 23rd with more than 1,100 points.
Prince Nan Rong on the warship stepped into the air, took out a white jade token, and embedded it in a groove next to the gate of the Feilong Tower.
"Boom..."
The towering stone door vibrated and opened immediately.
Prince Nanrong spoke again, "Everyone who enters the Feilong Tower will be teleported to a different space to experience tests. Once you encounter an irresistible danger, just shout "Go out" and you will be teleported out within three breaths."
At this point, Prince Nanrong changed the subject, "But you must do it within your ability, otherwise you may not be able to hold on for even three breaths and will die in it!"
"Now you can go in."
As Prince Nanrong finished speaking, five hundred people entered the tower one after another. Although Prince Nanrong had explained the dangers, no one would retreat at this time.
The road of martial arts is bumpy and difficult. Five hundred people can stand out from a crowd of one hundred thousand. Which one of them is not a genius with a firm mind and has grown up through many battles?
The stone door that was opened was white, and it was impossible to see what was going on in the tower. After entering, a strong aura of heaven and earth rushed towards them.
Looking around, Luo Xiu didn't see anyone else except himself. It was obvious that other contestants were teleported to different spaces after entering the Feilong Tower.
Above his head was a sky like a burning cloud, and the dark brown earth was barren.
In the Feilong Tower, you can use any means. Even if your strength is not very strong, if you have very powerful treasures, you can get higher points.
Everyone knows this, especially those geniuses from big forces. Who doesn't have one or two powerful treasures?
Treasures are also a manifestation of strength, and it can't be considered cheating.
Suddenly, a white light appeared in front of Luo Xiu and gradually condensed into substance, turning into a white-clothed man holding a long sword. The aura he exuded was the innate eighth level.
In the Feilong Tower, the strength of the opponents encountered in each level is fixed.
The opponent on the first level is the innate eighth level, the second level is the innate ninth level, and the third level is the half-step refining spirit.
And starting from the fourth level, it is the first level of refining spirit, the fifth level is the second level of refining spirit, and the sixth level is the third level of refining spirit.
Once you reach the seventh level, it is said that the opponent that appears will be directly at the seventh level of the soul refining!
It is almost impossible to cultivate to the seventh level of the soul refining under the age of 30. This is why in the past thousand years, only less than ten people in Tianwu Kingdom can pass the seventh level.
Even those who have passed the seventh level have relied on powerful treasures and special secret methods.
The opponent of the eighth level is said to be the ninth level of the soul refining. There was a genius who passed the seventh level and entered the eighth level. As a result, he finally passed the seventh level, but never came out again. The aura imprinted on the jade tablet outside dissipated, which meant his death!
For Luo Xiu now, the opponent of the innate eighth level is not worth mentioning at all. I saw the man in white swinging his sword to kill him, and blazing flames rose around his body. It was obviously the innate true qi of fire attribute that was driven.
Luo Xiu stepped forward, raised his right hand and pointed it out. The flame sword light collapsed instantly, and the man in white at the innate eighth level flew backwards, and his body exploded in mid-air.
The first level was easily passed, and then a white light emerged, which directly rolled up Luo Xiu and disappeared.
The opponent on the second floor was a ninth-level Xiantian cultivator, and Luo Xiu also killed him easily, and then was teleported to the third floor.
After a short moment, Luo Xiu broke through the first three floors and came to the fourth floor.
At the same time, the points of the people on the green jade tablet outside the Feilong Tower began to change. Some people passed the fourth floor and their points increased by 100.
However, Prince Nanrong and the martial kings of the major forces knew very well that the sixth floor was the one that could really open up the points!
Because even if you go to the fifth floor, you can only increase 300 points at most, and once you can pass the sixth floor, you can increase 700 points!
Four hundred points may not seem like much, but it is enough to change the ranking.
In the space on the fourth floor of the Feilong Tower, the opponent who appeared in front of Luo Xiu was a first-level soul refiner.
"One hundred points in hand."
Using the Chasing the Wind and the Moon body technique, Luo Xiu appeared in front of his opponent in an instant, and the sword was unsheathed, killing him with one sword.
They were both first-level soul refiners, but Luo Xiu killed his peers as easily as drinking water and eating.
Luo Xiu himself practiced the fast sword, and with the killing sword martial arts he had comprehended, he had extremely strong explosive power and could quickly kill his opponents.
So he passed the level very quickly and soon came to the seventh floor. A man in black holding a sword appeared in front of him. His cultivation level had reached the seventh level of soul refining, which made him vaguely feel the oppression of the true energy.
The seventh level of soul refining is already the late stage of soul refining, while Luo Xiu is only the first level of soul refining, which is just the beginning of soul refining.
In terms of the cultivation of true energy and consciousness, the opponent's strength is much stronger than his.
Over the past thousand years, many people have been able to reach the seventh floor, but no more than ten people have been able to pass, and many geniuses have fallen here.
After passing the fourth to sixth floors in succession, Luo Xiu's points increased by 700.
"Who is this Luo Xiu? He has gained 700 points so quickly and has already entered the seventh floor?"
"He seems to be a genius member of the Hunter Guild. After the first round of survival competition, his cultivation level has broken through from half-step to the first level of the soul."
"The first level of the soul can pass the sixth level and kill the third level of the soul, but it must stop at the seventh level."
"Hehe, is it so easy to pass the seventh level? Even the fourth level of the soul, who ranks first, can't pass it."
"It's not easy to pass the sixth level. Those below the third level of the soul need to rely on treasures and special means to pass. Even if it's the third level of the soul, it's not easy to pass, because the third level of the soul in the Flying Dragon Tower is not an ordinary third level of the soul."
The many martial kings on the warship talked to each other, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the ranking on the green jade tablet.
Luo Xiu passed the level quickly, so he was temporarily ranked second.
But it won't be long before others will pass the sixth level one after another, and their points will naturally catch up.
At the same time, some people were teleported out of the Flying Dragon Tower one after another. Most of them were pale, bloodless, or bleeding from the corners of their mouths, and their bodies were covered in blood, and they were seriously injured.
And some people, their auras were imprinted in the green jade tablet and dissipated, representing their fall!
"Defeat me, and you can get the reward for passing the level."
The black-clothed man with a knife did not attack directly after he appeared, but said to Luo Xiu indifferently.
"You can speak?" Luo Xiu looked surprised.
However, the black-clothed man did not explain anything, but walked towards Luo Xiu with a knife in hand.
Luo Xiu frowned slightly, and could feel that this Flying Dragon Tower seemed to be extraordinary. In the previous first to sixth floors, the opponents who appeared would directly fight and would not say anything, just like dead things without intelligence.
However, the opponents who appeared in the seventh floor could speak, and from the seventh floor onwards, as long as they passed, they would get rewards.
This means that the seventh floor is a watershed. Even in the distant ancient times, being able to pass the seventh floor is a true genius.
Before breaking through the Soul Refining Martial Sect, Luo Xiu could fight against the fourth level of Soul Refining with all his strength.
Now that his cultivation has reached the Soul Refining realm, there is still a huge gap when facing the seventh level of Soul Refining.
If he is given a few more years to improve his cultivation, it will naturally not be difficult to pass the seventh floor, but with his current strength, he is not very sure.
"Try it with all your strength. If there is danger, it should not be difficult to support three breaths of time to teleport away." Luo Xiu said in his heart.
In an instant, the black-clothed man holding the knife suddenly sped up, and in an instant, he came in front of him, and slashed with a fierce and domineering force.
"Clang!"
The sword was unsheathed, and the moment the sword and the sword collided, sparks flew, Luo Xiu groaned, and his body flew backwards.
"So strong!"
Luo Xiu's eyes were stern, and he was quite surprised.
He was not only surprised by the opponent's strong and powerful true essence, after all, it was normal for a seventh-level soul refiner to have such a level of true essence.
What really surprised him was that the attack of this black-clothed man contained the meaning of the knife and mastered the power of the martial intent!
In Tianwu Country, many martial kings find it difficult to comprehend and master the martial intent, and those who can comprehend the martial intent in the soul refinement realm are even rarer, and can be called a top genius.
This means that Luo Xiu is not facing an ordinary seventh-level soul refiner at this moment, but a top master among the seventh-level soul refiners!
If such a seventh-level soul refiner goes out, many ninth-level martial arts grandmasters of major forces may not be his opponents.
Despite the opponent's strength, Luo Xiu was not afraid at all, but even more eager to fight.
When he first entered the Xiantian realm, he could kill a ninth-level Xiantian martial artist.
Although the difficulty of challenging opponents of higher levels increased after reaching the realm of soul refinement, he had many trump cards and might not be unable to fight against opponents of this level.
"Buzz!"
The black-clothed man swung his sword again, and the sword intent locked Luo Xiu, so that no matter how exquisite his body movements were, he could not avoid the sword.
"Xuantian Bian!"
Luo Xiu shouted softly, and activated six times the power. The black flame sword light surged, and the power increased significantly.
"Bang!"
With the six-fold increase in power, Luo Xiu resisted the sword, and did not fly backwards, but only took a small step back.
"Hmm?"
The expressionless black-clothed man showed a trace of surprise, as if he was very surprised that a first-level soul refinement had such strength.
