Volume 5: Seven Dao Sects Chapter 30: A Stunning Explosion
The 40th floor.
Bai Guandao's figure slowly emerged. At this level, he, who was in the late Jindan stage, would have to face the illusions of one hundred middle-grade third-level and one hundred late-grade third-level monsters.
"Too scary. A hundred monsters of the same level of strength. How can we get through this?"
"It's only the 40th floor, but the difficulty has been raised to such a level that it is impossible for ordinary people to pass it. Then what's the point of having a total of 99 floors in this Soul Sealing Tower?" The talented monks who were watching the battle were all stunned, and at the same time, they had doubts.
"Bai Guandao, he was stopped!"
This was the first time that Bai Guandao, who had mastered the true meaning of space, fell into the trap of a monster.
Before that, except for waiting five breaths of teleportation time in the teleportation array, the monster illusion would never have the chance to touch Bai Guandao.
In this critical situation, Bai Guandao demonstrated his abilities other than the true meaning of space for the first time.
His skillful gold magic, combined with his true meaning of space, actually evolved into a terrifying posture of no-range magic.
Even the powerful monks of Dao Sect became interested at this time.
According to the difficulty setting of the Spirit Sealing Tower, the 40th floor is almost the limit for a cultivator.
They also wanted to know whether Bai Guandao could break through this limit.
On the screen, under the siege of a group of monsters, Bai Guandao's hands flashed with spiritual light, and countless golden swords shot out, and then suddenly disappeared in the air.
The next moment, the golden sword appeared at the vital points of the monsters, piercing through them directly. Blood kept splashing out, making it impossible to defend against it.
This is the combination of the true meaning of space and magic.
However, in order to kill these monster phantoms that are comparable to the late Jindan cultivators, a lot of spiritual power is consumed. In addition, these phantoms are not afraid of death, and the death of their companions makes them besiege Bai Guandao even more frantically.
After blocking five waves of attacks from the monster illusions, Bai Guandao was finally eliminated and failed to create another miracle.
"call!"
“Failed.”
"pity!"
After seeing Bai Guandao being eliminated, some people breathed a sigh, some felt relieved.
But no matter what, Bai Guandao's stunning performance and the true meaning of space made all the cultivators present look up to him.
Baiguandao (Northern Region)
Number of floors: 40th
Overall rank: 1
Domain ranking: 1
…
When Bai Guandao's figure appeared in front of the Fengling Tower, countless people cast strange glances at him, either with admiration or jealousy.
But Bai Guandao had a calm expression on his face, as if he was not complacent about his own achievements. He just cast his gaze towards the Spirit Sealing Tower .
At this time, there were only three people left who had not been eliminated.
The Nascent Soul cultivator Zhou Yuan who is currently on the 33rd floor, Mo Yan who is on the 30th floor, and Lu Qingshan who has already reached the 27th floor.
…
Thirty-third floor.
Zhou Yuan, who had transformed into a flaming giant, looked around at the dozens of early-stage fourth-grade demon beast illusions, then glanced at the current rankings, seemingly thinking about something.
After a while, a fiery red, small and exquisite fox jumped out from his body. At this time, Zhou Yuan also changed back to a normal person from the form of a fire giant.
As the only Nascent Soul cultivator in the Seven Realms Avenue, Zhou Yuan is a long-haired strong man with two strange patterns on his face, looking extremely wild.
But in the astonished eyes of the crowd, a bright white light suddenly flashed on Zhou Yuan's body, and his figure became illusory.
The next moment, his figure popped out from the Soul Sealing Tower.
He actually gave up on challenging this level on his own initiative!
Zhou Yuan, stopped at the 33rd floor, ranked second overall!
“He probably knew that he couldn’t possibly reach the 40th floor and couldn’t surpass Bai Guandao. There was not much point in going any further, so he simply gave up. This was a good opportunity to avoid exposing more of his cards.” Headmaster Chang Geng looked deeply and saw through Zhou Yuan’s thoughts.
…
The 30th floor .
Mo Yan's whole body was bursting with flames. After entering the teleportation spirit formation for three breaths, he was ultimately unable to withstand the violent bombardment of the monster illusions. In the fourth breath, he was eliminated.
However, even at this point, he only used one kind of strange fire - the Red Lotus Strange Fire.
But you have to know that Mo Yan possesses at least three kinds of strange fire...
After leaving the Spirit Sealing Tower, Mo Yan subconsciously checked the battle situation in the Spirit Sealing Tower, but suddenly discovered that he was the second to last person to be eliminated.
At this moment, there was only one person left in the Spirit Sealing Tower.
Mo Yan pulled up the battle situation in the Spirit Sealing Pagoda. Looking at the familiar figure that appeared on the screen, he couldn't help but smile knowingly, "Brother Lu, we meet again... Long time no see..."
…
Twenty-seventh floor.
At this time, Lu Qingshan had changed his previous attitude of vowing to kill all the phantoms guarding the gate, and began to break through the gate with all his strength.
Faced with the swarming monsters, the Peach Blossom Sword shot out at eleven times the speed of sound, making a terrifying sonic boom.
At the same time, Lu Qingshan used the invisible sword escape technique, merging his body with the sword, and dodged the attack of the monster with an extremely flexible posture. In an instant, he shook off the illusion of the monster and used the sword-controlling technique to enter the teleportation array.
Then, he used the Ten Thousand Swords Technique and the Sword Armor to block and resist the crazy attacks of the monsters and last through the five breaths required for the transmission.
With the powerful spiritual power recovery bonus brought by the Taoist skills, the ability to predict danger given by the killing sword intent of the Unity Realm, plus the invisible sword escape combined with the extremely fast escape technique of the flying sword, and the powerful defense of the Five Elements Sword Armor, Lu Qingshan's speed in rushing through the levels at this time was faster than others could imagine.
This is actually true. Most of his time is spent recovering.
In front of the Spirit Sealing Tower, hundreds of thousands of talented monks watched Lu Qingshan make his way to the 33rd floor.
“If he passes this level, he will surpass Zhou Yuan and become the second place in the Spirit Sealing Tower re-examination.” Countless people whispered, while casting their eyes on the current second place, Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan just had an indifferent expression.
“It’s just a re-examination ranking. Even if he can surpass me, what’s the use? Even Bai Guandao, who performed far better than me in the Sealing Spirit Pagoda, will definitely not be able to defeat me in the final competition. You know, the one who laughs last is the winner.” Zhou Yuan didn’t care, and even felt a little sarcastic in his heart.
The Spirit Sealing Tower cannot fully reflect a person's strength.
Because... in the re-examination of the Fengling Tower, each person encounters opponents with greatly different strengths.
Moreover, there are many cultivators, just like him, who hide their strength for the upcoming competition.
"The comprehension of the artistic conception of the Unity Realm?" Bai Guandao's eyes flashed brightly as he stared at Lu Qingshan on the screen. "He comprehended the artistic conception of killing, and has already reached the realm of the Unity Realm... Well, that's interesting. I want to see if my spatial true meaning is more powerful, or his killing sword intent of the Unity Realm is better!"
Bai Guandao was filled with fighting spirit.
"Lu Qingshan, a mid-stage Jindan, is nothing to worry about!" The arrogant Bai Gu Daozi stared at Lu Qingshan's figure and whispered, "The only ones who are really worth being afraid of are Bai Guandao and Zhou Yuan. The others are just so-so!"
Yu Cibei, who was dressed in a grey robe, looked at Lu Qingshan in the picture with interest and said softly, "He is also a sword cultivator. It seems that he is also good at external swordsmanship. I just wonder if his sword is as fast as mine!"
…
These are the most outstanding geniuses even among the 500,000 genius cultivators. None of them will submit easily. They all have absolute confidence and arrogance!
After seeing Lu Qingshan's performance, they were not afraid, but simply listed Lu Qingshan as one of their opponents.
"Brother Lu, it looks like he's going to lose." Mo Yan murmured in the crowd.
On the 33rd floor, the battle has reached its most frenetic moment.
Lu Qingshan once again broke into the teleportation array leading to the 34th floor, but this time, facing the overwhelming attack of monsters, he could not last more than five breaths.
In the second round of the Fengling Tower interview, the last contestant was also eliminated.
The re-examination is officially declared over.
Because if the number of floors is the same, the ranking is calculated based on the time it takes to reach that floor, so Lu Qingshan's final score is:
Lu Qingshan (Southern Region)
Number of floors: 33
Overall ranking: 3
Domain ranking: 1
