Volume 5: Seven Dao Sects Chapter 21: Spirit Sealing Tower
The gap seems small, but that's because the tower is too huge in comparison.
But in fact, it is a hundred feet wide, enough to allow hundreds or thousands of people to pass at the same time.
Master Chang Geng's hawk-like eyes swept over the monks below and he slowly said:
"This tower is where you will take the retest, and its name is the Soul Sealing Tower.
What is tested in the Spirit Sealing Tower is not the level of your cultivation, but your overall combat power.
No matter what your level of cultivation is, the difficulties you encounter will be the same.
In other words, your cultivation levels are different, and the strength of the enemies you encounter will be adjusted accordingly, but the difficulty for each person is absolutely fair.
In this case, no matter what your level of cultivation is, you can try your best to strive for a higher ranking.
It is even possible for a foundation-building cultivator to crush a group of golden elixir cultivators and take first place!"
The words of Master Chang Geng caused the originally silent monks to become agitated again.
Especially those monks with lower cultivation.
In their eyes, they all thought that this round of re-examination was 100% just a formality.
But I didn't expect that there would be a ray of hope after a dark cloud. The assessment method for the re-examination would be so new that everyone would start from the same starting line.
Seeing everyone discussing this, Sect Leader Chang Geng continued calmly, "The Soul Sealing Pagoda has ninety-nine floors in total, and each floor has a giant illusion array. When you enter, you will encounter illusions created by the illusion array.
These illusions will not kill you and are absolutely safe, so you don't have to worry about life and death, just use your best strength.
Once you are unable to withstand the attack of the illusion and are knocked out, it means that your journey to the Sealing Spirit Tower has come to an end.
In addition, every time you pass a level of the Spirit Sealing Tower, you will be given an extra day to recover.
Finally, in this re-examination, you can see your overall ranking throughout the process.
When all the people are eliminated, the retest will be over. The cultivators ranked in the top 10,000 will enter the next round of the Seven Realms Discussion, and the rest will be eliminated!"
There was uproar.
The re-examination of the Seven Realms Discussion had a terrifying ratio of 10,000 out of 500,000.
…
After listening to Master Chang Geng's words, Lu Qingshan stared at the huge Spirit Sealing Pagoda in front of him with a strange light in his eyes.
All around, all other participating monks, whether from the South Region, the North Region, the East Region, the West Region, or the three regions of Zhongzhou, were watching the gate of the Soul Sealing Tower slowly open with fanatical eyes.
In the crowd, there was a young man whose eyes suddenly revealed a gleam of brilliance, and an overbearing and ostentatious aura flashed across his body.
"The name of the bones will be passed down to the Sealing Spirit Tower!"
He comes from Baigu Peak and is the contemporary Taoist master of Baigu Peak!
There are many blazing suns like him, and at this moment in front of the Spirit Sealing Tower, each of them shows their might.
…
"Spirit Sealing Tower, open!"
In the sky, the vicissitudes of life voices from the seven great Taoist monks spread.
The next moment, thousands of figures appeared in the crowd and flew out without hesitation, heading straight for the Spirit Sealing Tower.
At the same time, more and more figures flew out and entered the Spirit Sealing Tower.
In just a moment, all the participating monks stepped into the first floor of the Soul Sealing Tower through the seven open gates.
Including Lu Qingshan.
…
As soon as Lu Qingshan stepped into the first level of the Spirit Sealing Tower, he saw dense grassland all around him, with waist-high weeds swaying slightly.
In order to test the comprehensive combat capability of the cultivators, the environment of the Spirit Sealing Tower and the gate-guarding illusions were randomly switched between the five elements. At this moment, he was at the first level of wood attribute.
Lu Qingshan looked around and saw a deep teleportation array not far ahead.
That is the teleportation array leading to the second floor.
But suddenly, around him, in the distorted void, the figures of a hundred monsters suddenly appeared.
These one hundred monsters look exactly the same and are lion-like monsters.
Their cultivation base is all at the peak of the second rank.
The assessment in the Spirit Sealing Tower assigns opponents of different levels according to each person's different cultivation levels, while the corresponding difficulty level remains constant!
At this moment , these hundreds of monsters were rushing towards Lu Qingshan with tremendous murderous aura.
Lu Qingshan's eyes flashed.
It takes five breaths of time for the teleportation array to be activated and take effect.
If they want to pass the first level of the Soul Sealing Tower, they just need to enter the teleportation array and hold out for five breaths under the siege of monsters.
This is a relatively common practice. Of course, there is also an extreme option, which is to kill all the phantom monsters on that level, and then safely activate the teleportation array to go to the next level.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At the moment when the hundreds of monsters attacked, hundreds of visible sharp blades appeared around Lu Qingshan's body at the same time. They were the sword energy threads that he had differentiated.
Hundreds of sword energy threads suddenly rushed out and transformed into hundreds of swimming fish, colliding with the hundred monsters.
Boom boom boom!
The sound of fierce collision continued to echo, and Lu Qingshan once again controlled the hundreds of sword energy threads around his body to wander out. When these monsters were overwhelmed, they pierced through their brains and directly crushed them into starlight.
A second-grade demon beast is equivalent to a foundation-building cultivator. For him, killing it is really not too easy.
With just a few gestures, Lu Qingshan slaughtered all the monsters guarding the first level. Then he shook his body and rushed forward, directly entering the teleportation array.
A faint light flickered, a beam of light emerged , and the Taoist patterns on the teleportation array flashed brightly. With no one able to stop him, Lu Qing was successfully teleported to the second floor.
When Lu Qingshan stepped onto the second level of the Spirit Sealing Tower, countless top sect monks on the seven peaks outside the Spirit Sealing Tower were carefully watching the performance of the monks in the Spirit Sealing Tower, hoping to find a suitable candidate among them.
At this moment, everyone could see that in just a few breaths, hundreds of light spots representing cultivators had appeared on the second floor of the Spirit Sealing Tower.
"The seven regions have gathered together to discuss the Dao with the outstanding cultivators of the younger generation of the human race. There are indeed many good talents. You all need to keep a close eye on them and don't miss any of them!" Many similar words can always be heard on the seven mountains.
…
As soon as Lu Qingshan stepped into the second floor of the Spirit Sealing Tower, he found that the surrounding environment had changed drastically. Just now it was a wood environment with extremely rich wood element energy, but now it was filled with raging flames.
At this moment, he was standing quietly on a meteorite in a lava river, and the teleportation array leading to the third floor was located in front of this lava river.
In the lava river, ten giants composed of boiling magma have emerged, and the aura they exude is that of an early third-grade giant.
In just one layer, the gate guarding illusion was upgraded from one hundred second-grade peak monster illusions to ten third-grade early magma giants.
One can imagine how difficult it would be to climb up this Spirit Sealing Tower.
Fortunately, they don’t have to kill all the guarding phantoms before they can enter the next level.
As long as he could escape from the siege of the magma giant, pass this distance, then enter the teleportation array, and hold on for five breaths, he would have passed this level.
This undoubtedly reduces the difficulty of climbing the levels for everyone.
Lu Qingshan took a quick look and found that the ten magma giants were all motionless at this time.
Because above the meteorite where he was at that moment, a strange light shield rose up.
This light shield will disappear after one day.
During the duration of the light shield, as long as Lu Qingshan does not take the initiative to leave the light shield, the magma giant will not detect his existence and attack him.
This day is used to allow the monks to recover.
Lu Qingshan's eyes flashed instantly.
He didn't consume much spiritual energy on the first level, and he didn't need to rest now, so he immediately jumped out and left the protection of the light shield.
The ten magma giants opened their eyes at the same time the moment Lu Qingshan left the light shield area. In an instant, they rushed towards Lu Qingshan with tremendous momentum.
