Chapter 326: Chapter 30: Astonishing Success

The fortieth floor.

The figure of Bai Guandao slowly emerged. On this level, as a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator, he was about to face one hundred Third Grade mid-stage and one hundred Third Grade late-stage Demon Beast illusions.

“It’s too terrifying; one hundred demon beasts equivalent to the same rank’s strength–how can one pass through this?”

“It’s only the fortieth floor, and the difficulty has already escalated to such an extent. Ordinary people can’t pass through at all. What then is the purpose of setting up ninety-nine floors in this Seal Spirit Tower?” The watching genius cultivators were all stunned, and doubts arose as well.

“Bai Guandao has been stopped!”

This was the first time Bai Guandao, who mastered the Space True Intention, was caught by Demon Beast illusions.

Before this, except for the five breaths waiting time in the teleportation formation, the Demon Beast illusions couldn’t even touch Bai Guandao.

In such a crisis, Bai Guandao for the first time revealed his abilities beyond the Space True Intention.

With a proficient Metal System Spell combined with his Space True Intention, he unexpectedly evolved a somewhat terrifying posture of distanceless spellcraft.

Even the great Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Taoist Sect became quite interested at this moment.

According to the difficulty settings of the Seal Spirit Tower, the fortieth floor already nearly reached a cultivator’s limit.

They also wanted to know whether Bai Guandao could break through this limit.

On the screen, under the siege of a host of Demon Beasts, Bai Guandao’s hands flickered with Spiritual Light, countless Golden Swords shot out, and then suddenly disappeared in midair.

The next moment, the Golden Swords appeared at the Demon Beasts’ vital points, piercing directly through them, causing blood to splatter unpredictably.

This was the combination of Space True Intention and spellcraft.

However, to kill these Demon Beast illusions, comparable to Golden Core Late Stage cultivators, consumed an absolutely significant amount of Spiritual Power. Moreover, these illusions, fearless in the face of death, became even more frenzied in their assault on Bai Guandao after witnessing the death of their companions.

After consecutively blocking five waves of attacks from the Demon Beast illusions, Bai Guandao was finally eliminated, unable to create another miracle.

“Phew!”

“He’s failed.”

“What a pity!”

Seeing Bai Guandao being eliminated, some people sighed in relief, some lamented, and some were relieved.

However, Bai Guandao’s stunning performance and Space True Intention still made all the present cultivators look up to him.

Bai Guandao (Northern Domain)

Layer: The fortieth floor

Total ranking: 1

Domain ranking: 1

…

When the figure of Bai Guandao appeared in front of the Seal Spirit Tower, countless people cast strange glances at him, some in admiration, others in envy.

But Bai Guandao remained calm, seemingly not complacent about his achievements, as he turned his gaze towards the inside of the Seal Spirit Tower.

By then, only three people had not yet been eliminated.

Currently at the thirty-third floor was Nascent Soul Cultivator Zhou Yuan, at the thirtieth floor was Mo Yan, and already at the twenty-seventh floor was Lu Qingshan.

…..

The thirty-third floor.

Transformed into a Flame Giant, Zhou Yuan glanced around at the dozens of Fourth Grade Initial Stage Demon Beast illusions, then glanced at his current ranking, seemingly pondering something.

After a moment, a tiny, fiery red fox leaped out from his body, and at that moment, Zhou Yuan reverted from his Flame Giant form back to his normal human form.

As the only Nascent Soul Cultivator in this grand event of the Seven Domains, Zhou Yuan was a long-haired, muscular man with two strange patterns tattooed on his face, looking utterly wild.

But to everyone’s astonishment, Zhou Yuan’s body suddenly flashed with bright white light, becoming ethereal.

The next moment, he was ejected from the Seal Spirit Tower.

He had actually chosen to give up passing this level voluntarily!

Zhou Yuan, stopping at the thirty-third floor, overall ranking second!

“He probably knew he couldn’t reach the fortieth floor and surpass Bai Guandao. Continuing further wouldn’t make much sense, so he might as well give up and not reveal more of his cards,” Sect Leader Chang Geng stated, his gaze profound, seeming to see through Zhou Yuan’s thoughts.

….

Level Thirty.

Mo Yan burst into flames, and three breaths after he entered the Teleportation Array, he still couldn’t withstand the onslaught of the demon beast illusions. In the fourth breath, he was eliminated.

However, even at this point, he only used one type of Netherfire–the Red Lotus Netherfire.

And it’s known that Mo Yan possesses at least three types of Netherfire…

After leaving the Seal Spirit Tower, Mo Yan unconsciously checked the battle situation inside the tower and suddenly realized that he was the second-last one to be eliminated.

At this moment, there was only one person left in the Seal Spirit Tower.

Pulling up the battle situation from inside the Seal Spirit Tower, Mo Yan saw the familiar figure on the screen and couldn’t help but smile knowingly, “Brother Lu, it’s good to see you again… it’s been a long time…”

…..

Level Twenty-Seven.

At this time, Lu Qingshan had changed his initial stance of intending to slaughter all the guardian illusions, and began to focus on passing the challenges.

Facing the swarm of demon beasts, the Peach Blossom Sword shot out at eleven times the speed of sound, emitting a terrifying sonic boom.

At the same time, Lu Qingshan used the Formless Sword Escape, merging with the sword, avoiding the demon beasts’ attacks with extremely agile moves, and instantly distancing himself from the demon beast illusions and entering the Teleportation Formation using Sword Control Technique.

Then, using the Myriad Swords Art and Sword Armor to fend off the frenzied attacks of the demon beasts, he survived the five breaths needed for teleportation,

Powered by the impressive spiritual power recovery from his Taoist Level Cultivation Technique, the premonitory capabilities given by the Unity Realm Slaughter Sword Intent, and combined with the speed of Formless Sword Escape along with the Flying Sword and the formidable defense of Five Elements Sword Armor, Lu Qingshan’s speed of climbing the levels was unimaginably fast.

In fact, that’s exactly what happened, as he spent most of his time in recovery.

Outside the Seal Spirit Tower, hundreds of thousands of talented cultivators watched as Lu Qingshan made his way to level thirty-three.

“If he passes this level, he will overtake Zhou Yuan and become the second-place in this Seal Spirit Tower retest,” murmured countless people, casting their eyes on the current second-place, Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan had an indifferent expression.

“It’s just a retest ranking. What use is it if he surpasses me?”,

Even though Bai Guandao’s performance far exceeded mine in the Seal Spirit Tower, he definitely won’t be able to defeat me in the final competition.

You should know that the last to laugh is the real winner.” Zhou Yuan was unconcerned, even feeling a bit scornful in his heart.

The Seal Spirit Tower cannot fully reflect a person’s strength.

Because… in the retest of the Seal Spirit Tower, the strength of the opponents each person faces varies greatly.

Moreover, many cultivators, just like him, have hidden their true strength for the final competition.

“The comprehension of the Unity Realm Intent, huh?” Bai Guandao’s eyes shimmered with light, staring at the screen showing Lu Qingshan, “He has comprehended Slaughter Intent and reached the realm of Unity… Interesting, I want to see if my Space True Intention is more formidable, or if his Unity Realm Slaughter Sword Intent is superior!”

Bai Guandao was brimming with a fighting spirit.

“Lu Qingshan, a mere Golden Core Middle Stage, is not worth considering!” the arrogant Bai Bone Daoist said in a low voice, focused on Lu Qingshan’s figure, “The ones truly to be wary of are only Bai Guandao and Zhou Yuan, the others are merely so-so!”

Dressed in a gray robe, Yu Cibei looked at the screen showing Lu Qingshan with great interest, softly saying, “He’s also a Sword Cultivator, it seems he’s skilled with the External Sword too. I just wonder if his sword is faster than mine!”

……

Even among five hundred thousand talented cultivators, these outstanding unique geniuses, none of them are easily submissive; all are filled with absolute confidence and pride!

Sighting Lu Qingshan’s performance, they were not afraid; instead, they regarded Lu Qingshan as a competitor in their ranks.

“Brother Lu seems about to lose,” Mo Yan murmured in the crowd.

Level Thirty-Three, the battle had reached its most frenzied moment.

Lu Qingshan entered the teleportation formation leading to level thirty-four once again, but this time, facing the overwhelming assault of demon beasts, he ultimately couldn’t last the five breaths.

The retest of the Seal Spirit Tower came to an end with the last participant eliminated.

The retest was officially declared over.

As the rankings were determined by the time taken to reach the levels when the heights were the same, Lu Qingshan’s final score was:

Lu Qingshan (Southern Territory)

Level: Thirty-Three

Overall Ranking: 3

Regional Ranking: 1
