Chapter 559 Tongtian Tower

The Demonic Plain is vast and boundless, and the fluctuations from the Fire Refining Mark are quite erratic. The yellow-haired old man is at least ten thousand miles away.

Moreover, the location where the fluctuations came from has been changing. The yellow-haired old man did not follow Chen Yuan's advice to stay where he was, but flew all the way north.

Chen Yuan smiled. He was not surprised by this, nor was he in a hurry. He was not escaping fast, and his spiritual sense swept across the land, looking for something.

A group of low-level demon birds pounced on Chen Yuan, and he killed a few of them casually. The remaining demon birds scattered and fled.

Although the demon beasts in this Demonic Plain are not intelligent, they are smarter than the demons in the Demonic Realm of Donghuazhou. They know how to seek benefits and avoid harm, and will not blindly die.

However, there are countless low-level demon beasts in the Demonic Plain, and they are endless to kill.

Chen Yuan escaped more than three thousand miles and dispersed more than twenty groups of demon birds. Suddenly, he saw a golden light rising into the sky in the distance.

His eyes lit up, and he immediately slowed down his escape speed, bent his body, and flew towards the golden light column.

Soon, a stone platform came into view. It was made of white boulders about ten feet in size. The surface was smooth like jade, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. There was a platform on the top, about three feet in size.

There were railings carved from jade around it, which were very conspicuous in the black and gray demonic energy.

Not only that, within a hundred feet around the stone platform, there was no demonic energy invading, as if there was an invisible wall blocking the demonic energy outside.

This wall extended infinitely upwards, reaching the sky, so within a hundred feet of the stone platform, the sky was clear and the blue sky was clear, with golden light shining everywhere. It was the only bright place in this dark and depressing wasteland.

This was the altar for sacrificing the magic core. As long as enough magic cores were accumulated, they could be sacrificed through the stone platform to complete the trial.

No one knew where the sacrificed magic cores went.

Chen Yuan lowered the escape light and landed on the altar.

There was a teleportation array carved on the altar, about ten feet in size, recessed into the stone platform. The complex grooves were hard and sharp, which should be made by some extremely sharp magic weapon.

He raised his sleeves and flicked them, and a dark magic core appeared in front of him, emitting strong magic energy.

This magic core came from a level seven monster. There were dozens of similar magic cores in Chen Yuan's mustard ring, and there were more than thirty level eight magic cores and nearly ten level nine magic cores.

He placed this level seven magic core on the altar, and the altar lit up with a black light. After a few flashes, this level seven magic core suddenly exploded, and the pure magic energy contained in it all poured into the altar.

A white beam of light shot up into the sky and disappeared in a flash, but Chen Yuan still stayed on the altar.

Chen Yuan was not surprised. The third trial required Yuanying cultivators to hunt 100 monsters, including at least three monsters of the same level, and the rest were at least level seven monsters.

After obtaining enough magic cores, you can pass the third test by offering them on the altar. You can leave the extra magic cores.

There are thirty-six altars distributed all over the Demonic Plain. They are not afraid of the erosion of demonic energy and are the only way to leave the Demonic Plain.

Chen Yuan only sacrificed a level seven magic core. He did not meet the requirements of the trial, so he naturally could not leave the Demonic Plain.

And he did not want to leave the Demonic Plain now. He smiled slightly, flew into the sky, and continued to fly in the direction of the fluctuations from the Fire Lotus Mark.

Seeing that the magic cores taken from the corpses of monsters can be sacrificed on the altar, this is enough.

There are endless monsters in the Demonic Plain, but monsters above level eight are not easy to find.

He does not need to bother hunting level nine monsters. There are more than forty level seven magic cores. He only needs to gather more than fifty level seven magic cores to complete the trial.

Chen Yuan stopped and walked along the way. Whenever he encountered a level 7 magic beast, he would kill it and take away its magic core. As for the magic beast materials, they took up too much space, so he had to abandon them.

Two days later, he had gathered the required level 7 magic cores and finally found the yellow-haired old man.

With Chen Yuan's speed, he should have reunited with the yellow-haired old man a day ago, but the yellow-haired old man had been flying for two days, so it took him one more day.

When Chen Yuan found the yellow-haired old man, he was dispersing a group of magic wolves and taking away the magic cores of the two level 7 magic wolves leading them.

Seeing Chen Yuan suddenly appearing in front of him, the yellow-haired old man's face changed slightly. He threw the remains of the demon wolf aside, greeted him, and bowed: "Fellow Daoist Chen has indeed come as promised. I have been waiting for a long time."

Chen Yuan returned the greeting and said lightly: "Fellow Daoist Zong has not been idle these two days, which has made me spend a lot of effort."

The yellow-haired old man looked apologetic: "I have been waiting for you for several hours. You have not come yet, so I started to collect magic cores to complete the Demon Origin Trial. Please forgive me."

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "It's okay. When I entered the Demon Origin, I was thousands of miles away from you. The distance was really far, so I kept you waiting for a long time."

The yellow-haired old man's expression eased a little: "Since you have already joined Zong, that fire lotus..."

"Wait a moment." Chen Yuan activated Zhuyan's true blood, his black hair turned snow-white, and Zhuyan's true fire rose from his hands.

With a thought, he took back the fire lotus mark in the yellow-haired old man's soul space.

The yellow-haired old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the fire lotus disappear. His eyes fell on Chen Yuan's white hair, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He had seen many cultivators with strange looks, but this was the first time he saw someone who could change his hair color at will.

After Chen Yuan took back the fire lotus, Zhu Yan's true fire disappeared, and his white hair turned back to black. He said lightly: "Can you take out the two things that Daoyou got now and let me see them?"

"Of course, Daoist friend, please take a look..." The yellow-haired old man raised his sleeves and a broken jade slip appeared in front of him.

This broken slip was dark gray, with only a small half left, and the surface was covered with cracks, exuding a rotten smell.

Chen Yuan asked, "What about the other thing?"

The yellow-haired old man smiled and said, "Daoist, please take a look at this slip first."

Chen Yuan frowned slightly, raised his hand and took the broken slip in his hand.

The yellow-haired old man reminded, "This broken slip is extremely fragile, Daoist friend, please be careful when you check it."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, and his spiritual consciousness slowly probed into the broken slip. A dim light curtain appeared in front of him, and four broken sentences slowly emerged.

"The demonic energy is sealed here as a secret for the trial..."

"Anyone who passes the third trial can enter the Tongtian Pavilion to select..."

"...The younger generation should keep in mind...the merits of the saint..."

Please...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)

"Spread your power in all directions, open up all..."

Chen Yuan just checked for a while, and another crack appeared on the fragment.

The yellow-haired old man's eyes flashed with pain, but Chen Yuan ignored it, read these four sentences over and over again, and remembered them firmly in his heart, then he withdrew his consciousness and returned the fragment.

The first two sentences are easy to understand. The demon is the third trial of Jueling Island. After passing it, you can enter the "Tongtian Pavilion" and select treasures as rewards.

This "Tongtian Pavilion" should be a place to store treasures, just like the Yibao Pavilion that everyone entered after passing the first trial.

But the "disciples of the future generations" mentioned in the fragment, are they disciples of the ancient sect, or descendants of the ancient cultivator who built this floating giant island?

Who is the person who left this fragment so that the descendants can remember "...the merits of the saint"?

The last sentence is not difficult to understand, "spreading prestige in all directions", obviously refers to making a name for oneself.

The person who built this floating giant island must be an ancient great power, the top cultivator in this world, and most likely a certain ancient sect, so naturally he is famous.

As for "opening up all...", perhaps it means expanding the territory, involving ancient cultivators, or even the struggle between ancient sects.

Chen Yuan was lost in thought for a long time before he spoke: "Could the 'Tongtian Pavilion' mentioned in this fragment be the ruins left by the ancient cultivators as Daoyou said?"

The yellow-haired old man said seriously: "Yes, the hall we saw after entering the bluestone square was called 'Tongtian Hall'."

"The word 'Tongtian' has a very high status in Jueling Island. According to Zong's guess, Jueling Island was probably called 'Tongtian Island' in ancient times."

"The 'Tongtian Pavilion' mentioned in this fragment is obviously more important than the Yibao Pavilion."

"The treasure stored in it is likely suitable for Yuanying cultivators, but it has never been found in tens of thousands of years."

Chen Yuan frowned: "How can you be sure that this Tongtian Pavilion is deep in the Demonic Plain?"

The yellow-haired old man laughed, turned his hand and took out a jade brick, holding it in his palm: "Please look, this is the second treasure that Zong Mou got."

Chen Yuan stared at it. The surface of the jade brick was delicate and white, engraved with brilliant thunder patterns, but it was stained with a layer of faint black light, flickering, and full of demonic energy, which looked quite strange.

"Is this thing related to the 'Tongtian Pavilion'?"

The yellow-haired old man nodded: "Yes, this jade brick has been infected by demonic energy and has undergone a mutation. As long as it flies in one direction, its surface will become darker."

As he said, he put the fragment into the mustard ring, folded his body, held the jade brick, and flew to the north.

Chen Yuan followed him. The yellow-haired old man flew slowly, and only stopped after flying a hundred miles.

He stretched out his hand and showed the jade brick: "Daoyou, please look."

"Daoyou, you are right. The black gas on the jade brick is indeed much darker." Chen Yuan nodded.

In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, this jade brick has not changed at all.

But in the eyes of Yuanying cultivators, the black gas is obviously a bit darker. For Chen Yuan, whose five senses are particularly sharp, it is easier to distinguish this abnormality.

The yellow-haired old man looked serious: "I suspect that this jade brick was taken from the 'Tongtian Pavilion', or it may have fallen off accidentally. In short, this jade brick must be related to the 'Tongtian Pavilion'."

"As long as you follow the jade brick, you can find the 'Tongtian Pavilion', which is likely to have an ancient treasure left behind!"

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up: "Daoyou's words make sense, you and I will set off now, as long as we find the 'Tongtian Pavilion', we will definitely return with a full load."

The yellow-haired old man's eyes flashed with brilliance, put away the jade brick, and smiled: "Daoyou, don't worry, it's better to gather the magic cores needed to complete the trial first, and then it's not too late to find Tongtian Pavilion." (End of this chapter)
