Chapter 197: Entering the Tower Separately and Encountering Danger (Third Update)
A hidden valley in the Nanman Shiwan Mountains.
Outside the valley, there are large trees and clouds, and inside the valley, there are green grass like carpets and streams, creating a scene of a paradise.
It was night time, and bonfires were lit on the wide green land beside the stream. The Miao people who have lived here for generations sang and danced, enjoying the annual harvest ceremony.
In the end, all the Miao people, led by two elders with sparse white hair, dry faces and trembling hands, walked towards the ancestral hall, then bowed down before a statue, kowtowed and chanted:
"Thank you for the protection of the God of Dongyuan."

When Shi Xuan saw the portal appear, he was not in a hurry to go in. He used his spiritual sense to explore the situation inside the portal while looking at other cultivators. However, the restrictions of this pagoda are very strong. After entering with the divine consciousness, it can only extend less than three meters. The other cultivators just explored it casually and escaped in, especially the seven soul-stage cultivators. Because the crystal wall has disappeared, their role is equivalent to nothing. Those Jindan masters will not care about them anymore, so they rush into the tower first, try to find one or two treasures and leave quickly.
Seeing this, Shi Xuan had to walk into the cave carefully, the starry Taoist robe on his body shone brightly, and the Xuanjin body protection skill was fully activated. Behind the door is a ten-foot-wide golden brick corridor, which flashed with a faint golden light. When Shi Xuan scanned it with his divine consciousness, it was rebounded by the powerful restrictions contained in it.
This cave abyss divine mansion, because it is connected to the earth lung evil spirit, has been inexhaustible for millions of years. The restrictions in the cave are relatively well preserved. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. When the owner of the cave mansion dies, the entire cave mansion is contaminated by the evil spirit and becomes like a ghost mansion in the underworld.
When Shi Xuan just stepped on the golden bricks on the corridor, he heard the clear and distant echo. The whole pagoda was quiet, as if there were no eleven monks coming in just now.
After walking along the corridor for a while, the corridor gradually began to widen, and some statues of gods holding golden lamps began to appear on both sides. The golden lamps contained immortal flames, and the golden flames made the entire corridor more magnificent. It is said to be immortal flames, but it is just an exaggeration. These flames are maintained by the formation of the entire pagoda. Once the formation is broken, they will naturally go out.
Having seen the gods and generals outside, Shi Xuan was cautious about these statues of gods. No one knew whether they would wake up the next moment.
Sure enough, when Shi Xuan passed by them, these statues suddenly pounced out. Shi Xuan had been prepared for it, and he shot out several star-killing sword qi in succession to cut these statues into pieces.
But after several rays of starlight penetrated the statue of the God General, they hit the restrictions on both sides. The restrictions immediately emerged, layer upon layer, very mysterious, and emitting dazzling golden light. After that, the restrictions absorbed the few stars and demon-slaying sword qi, and then condensed hundreds of golden flying swords, trembling with a buzzing sound, as if as long as Shi Xuan took another step forward, they would fly towards him.
Shi Xuan saw that the restriction seemed to be able to absorb his own Taoism and magic power to strengthen itself, and then attack himself. In other words, if he continued to attack these hundreds of golden flying swords with the stars and demon-slaying sword qi, it would be very likely that the golden flying swords would become more and more. Of course, with super strong control ability, it is a better situation for the spiritual energy and magic power to annihilate each other. Unfortunately, Shi Xuan cannot reach this level now.
However, Shi Xuan has a better choice. He opened his mouth, and the black and white qi appeared. The hundreds of golden flying swords were thrown over involuntarily, gradually melting in the black and white qi, and turned into a long river of pure golden spiritual energy, which was absorbed by the Yin and Yang Qi Bottle.
The ban dimmed again, and Shi Xuan hurried forward, because he didn't know what the other cultivators were like. If they randomly used Taoist magic, divine light, and magic, it was very likely that the ban on his side would be reactivated, and it would become stronger and stronger.
When Shi Xuan used Xiaoyou Qingfeng to escape for a few breaths, the dimmed ban lit up again, constantly condensing golden flying swords, black boulders, blue water spikes, and red fireballs, and the power was getting stronger and stronger. From the first-level magic that Shi Xuan disdained at first, after a quarter of an hour, all became ninth-level magic.
Shi Xuan didn't dare to block it hard, and absorbed it all with the Yin-Yang Two-Qi Bottle, but the Yin-Yang Two-Qi Bottle was only perfect at the fifth level, and its power was equivalent to the eighth-level magic weapon. In the end, it was quite laborious to absorb the ninth-level magic.
However, because of the Yin-Yang Two-Qi Bottle, Shi Xuan basically didn't stop along the way, and he could already see the entrance to the wide hall ten feet ahead. From time to time, there was a flash of light inside, and it seemed that there was a treasure in it.
But at this moment, the restriction became brighter and brighter, condensing into a golden spear, emitting a terrifying aura, and throwing it behind Shi Xuan. In the blink of an eye, it flew behind Shi Xuan.
A green lightning flashed by, blocking the golden spear. Where the two intersected, a huge sound and fluctuation broke out, and there was a faint thunder sound that cut through the atmosphere. Finally, the golden spear disappeared, turned into a large amount of mana, and was absorbed by the restriction again, while the green lightning rolled back and fell into Shi Xuan's hands.
Shi Xuan just saw that the power of the golden spear actually exceeded the first-level Taoism and was about to reach the second-level Taoism. He had to use the strongest means in his hand, the Heavenly Thunder Demon Subduing Sword, plus the sword energy and thunder sound to resist. Other means are not impossible to resist, but either the talisman or the secret treasure will be gone after using it, which is a bit of a pity, or it can be blocked, but it will slow down the escape light and be easily entangled, so the Heavenly Thunder Demon Subduing Sword became the best choice.
After this block, Shi Xuan had already escaped into the hall, and then the restrictions on the corridor dimmed, and finally became completely calm. Of course, the restrictions on other corridors became brighter accordingly.
"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Xingzhao came so quickly." Xuan Yizhen smiled and stood in the middle of the hall, holding a flying sword magic weapon in his hand. In front of him was a half-person-high golden pillar with an empty white jade box on the pillar.
There were six such pillars in the hall, but there was only one magic weapon left inside, and the rest were empty boxes. When Lin Shenhe saw Shi Xuan coming in, he took the remaining magic weapon and smiled: "Fellow Daoist Xingzhao practiced the Star Yuanci Gongfa, and should be only slightly slower than Lin in passing this corridor. I think he was too cautious at the beginning and wasted some time."
Shi Xuan did not answer their questions, but asked lightly: "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Xuan and Fellow Daoist Lin have found high-level magic weapons to suppress the inner demons here. I am willing to exchange them with items that you are satisfied with."
Lin Shenhe He shook his head and took out four magic tools, namely the double hook, the golden lamp, the Taoist robe, and the jade hairpin: "These are the seven-layer magic tools obtained by Lin, but none of them is used to suppress the inner demon. If I hadn't found a way to enter the second floor of the pagoda, I might not have taken these items."
Xuan Yizhen also shook his head and said: "I only have a flying sword and a shield. What fellow Taoist Xingzhao wants should be in other floors of the pagoda."
At the same time, the two looked at Shi Xuan deeply. Seeing the old ghost Xingzhao like this, could it be that he really only wants a high-level magic tool to suppress the inner demon? If so, winning him over is the best strategy. Of course, you can't just listen to one side of the story, you have to observe his actions carefully.
"In this case, let's find out how to get to the second floor." Shi Xuan saw that the six magic tools did not seem to be used to suppress the inner demon, so he began to observe the entire hall.
Before he finished speaking, several people came out from the other corridors, including Hu Shan, who was flying a small jade shield; Ghost Crying Master, whose green flames had dimmed; Kaguya, who was in a state of disarray; Ruan Xihao, who was covered in blood; Zhou Qi, whose hairpins were slanted and whose hair was messy; and Ye Shiliu, whose arm was broken.
When they came out of the corridors, the restrictions of their own corridors also dimmed, and then the restrictions of the other three corridors became brighter. However, after a few breaths, the restrictions of these three corridors also dimmed, but no one came out from them again.
As the restrictions of all the corridors calmed down, a clear light fell from the second floor of the pagoda in the middle of the hall and turned into a step.
"Fellow Daoists, keep going." Xuan Yizhen glanced at several Soul-level cultivators with a smile, and then stepped onto the Clear Light Stairs first. For these Soul-level cultivators, it might be better to stay and explore the way than to kill them.
Master Guiku did not dare to fall behind this time. Together with Lin Shenhe, he quickly followed Xuan Yizhen to the second floor, followed by Shi Xuan and Hu Shan.
Several soul-stage cultivators looked at each other, and then looked at the seemingly peaceful corridor behind them. There was no way to retreat, so they could only bite the bullet and go to the second floor.
…………
The black-armored figure and ten ghost generals stood under the pagoda, watching the pagoda become crystal clear. From time to time, various magic powers and divine lights spread from the first floor to the seventh floor of the pagoda and gathered somewhere in it.
When these magic powers and divine lights stopped, three of the bluestone portals lit up, and the god heads with wide eyes on them twisted and turned into three different faces, two men and one woman, with painful and ferocious expressions. If Xuan Yizhen, Shi Xuan and others saw them, they would definitely recognize that these three looks were Zhu Yunwei, Su Fan, and Xi Wen.
A thin red line extended from these three heads, going up all the way and merging into the seventh floor of the pagoda.
Then the black-armored figure and the ten ghost generals turned into black light and flew into the pagoda.
…………
Shi Xuan had just stepped onto the second floor of the pagoda when he saw a golden-armored general shooting a golden light towards him. He quickly pointed his finger, and the green lightning flashed again, striking the center of the golden light, knocking it away. Then the green lightning turned around and just blocked the golden flying sword controlled by another golden-armored general.
This golden light is almost as powerful as the golden elixir stage divine light, which is the first-level Taoist magic. Under the blessing of the ban, these golden-armored generals surpassed those outside the pagoda and had a strength infinitely close to that of the lower-grade golden elixir. If it weren't for their low intelligence, they would definitely be more exhausted than they are now.
This is Shi Xuan's own feeling after fighting with the golden-armored general for several rounds. Whether it is their magic weapon or magic, the power is doubled.
