Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Chapter 262 Yin Yang Tower

"You, you've finally arrived!"

The low voice carried a sense of weight and ancientness.

Coming from the deepest part of the secret chamber, the voice actually caused a subtle vibration in the air, prompting the surrounding flames to flicker continuously.

Xiao Yi felt a chill sweeping over his body, which sent shivers down his spine, "How could Dongfang be living in a place like this?"

Whoosh!

A sudden force of suction came from ahead.

As if countless invisible hands were pulling him toward the depths of the secret chamber.

A moment later.

There was a sudden openness in front of Xiao Yi, revealing an underground palace that was dazzling with gold and glittering with luxury. The hundred-meter-high palace's dome was studded with fist-sized Luminous Pearls, with more than three thousand pearls lighting the place up as bright as day.

The floor was laid with lustrous glazed tiles, and walking on them, there was a faint sensation of warmth.

In front...

Seven nine-story tall black towers stood out somewhat abruptly.

At this moment.

In front of those seven towers stood a black-haired man smiling at him, his presence contained, with strands of natural essence flickering around him as if converging into his body like a primal spring.

His pair of pitch-black eyes seemed to have two stars rotating within them.

Bright and dazzling, they were deep enough to draw one in, making it feel as if one would be absorbed into their depths, unable to extricate oneself.

"Could this be Senior Dongfang Kuang?" Xiao Yi asked in a deep voice.

The voice of Dongfang Kuang did not quite match his appearance, sounding much more ancient, "Young fellow, come over here!"

Xiao Yi stepped forward, "Junior Xiao Yi, pays respects to Senior!"

"Hmm!"

Dongfang Kuang smiled slightly, a friendly expression on his face. His eyes were bright with sharpness, their gaze so penetrating as if they could see right through a person. He said with a smile, "Very good, really good, no wonder Dongfang Mu holds you in such high esteem. Xiao Zhengde really was blind to expel you from the Xiao Family. Young fellow, would you be interested in taking the Dongfang surname? If you're willing, you can be the next head of the Dongfang Family!"

"Uh..."

Xiao Yi was taken aback, his face showing surprise.

Take the Dongfang surname?

Wasn't that asking him to marry into the family?

Although just changing a surname would allow him to control a huge family with thousands of years of inheritance, becoming one of the most powerful entities in the Great Qian Dynasty, Xiao Yi still shook his head with a smile, "Thank you for your generous offer, Senior. My name was given to me by my mother, and I do not wish to change it!"

"It's fine if you don't change your surname. I have a great-granddaughter named Dongfang Ying, lively and lovely, whom you can marry. You would become the favoured son-in-law of the Dongfang Family, how about that?" Dongfang Kuang said with a sly smile.

Xiao Yi wore an embarrassed expression, "..."

What exactly was Dongfang Kuang planning?

Wasn't he proposing that Xiao Yi either take his surname

Or marry into the family?

Xiao Yi shook his head with a rueful smile, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior, but my ambition lies elsewhere."

"Well, let it be!"

Dongfang Kuang sighed with a trace of regret and then straightened up, saying, "You cured Dongfang Jin, which is a life-saving grace to my Dongfang Family. In my life, Dongfang Kuang has never begged nor owed anyone. I see that your cultivation has reached the Golden Elixir Peak, just a step away from the Tao Tribulation Realm. You can try your luck in the Yin and Yang Tower behind me; it might be helpful for you!"

The Yin and Yang Tower.

Its full name is the Yin Yang Five Elements Tower, divided into seven parts.

Legend has it...

When the founding emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty and his four sworn brothers obtained five Divine Artifacts from a secret realm, one of them was the Yin Yang Five Elements Tower, which was secured by the ancestor of the Dongfang Family as a treasure to protect the clan.

Inside the Yin Yang Five Elements Tower, there are Elemental Combat Automatons of Yin and Yang.

The realm of these Elemental Combat Automatons is identical to those who enter the tower, and by defeating one, you could absorb a portion of the Yin Yang and Five Elements heavenly forces.

You must know...

To advance from the Golden Core Realm to the Tao Tribulation Realm, one needs to grasp the power of heaven and earth to shatter the Golden Elixir Halo and condense the Dao patterns.

But trying to comprehend the power of heaven and earth directly from nature yields minimal results.

However, inside this Yin Yang Five Elements Tower, the power of heaven and earth is several times, or even dozens of times stronger than the outside world.

Dongfang Kuang casually tossed a Token into Xiao Yi's hand, saying in a deep voice, "Everyone can control different attributes of the power of heaven and earth. See which tower you can enter, and it will represent the corresponding attribute of the heavenly force you can control."

Xiao Yi gazed at the seven Yin Yang Five Elements Towers and muttered, "Can I only choose one? Can't I choose them all?"

"All of them?"

Dongfang Kuang was taken aback and then burst into loud laughter, "Kid, you really are daydreaming! Even Xiao Tianjiao, relying on the Supreme Overlord Sacred Body enabling him to master the Five Elements of heaven and earth, has become the most astonishing genius of the Great Qian Dynasty in thousands of years. And you're thinking of choosing all? With your talent, at most you could master three, certainly no more!"

Xiao Yi's pupils constricted slightly, "Xiao Tianjiao has mastered the Five Elements of heaven and earth? No wonder he could shatter Dongfang Jin with one strike without stepping into the Dharma Manifestation Realm. However, if he could master the Five Elements of heaven and earth, why couldn't I master them all?"

With that thought.

Xiao Yi took a deep breath and walked toward the Yin Yang Five Elements Tower.

The first one.

The Metal Tower!

Whoosh!

Xiao Yi entered with no resistance; a golden puppet appeared before him, its cultivation equal to his, both at the Golden Elixir Realm Peak.

Whoosh!

The golden puppet flashed violently, surrounded by fluctuating golden light, as its sharp metal-like blade thrust forward.

"Break for me!"

Xiao Yi simply struck down with one palm.

Bang!

The golden puppet exploded into pieces, turning into a sky full of golden dust, which melded into his body.

Xiao Yi could clearly feel his mastery over the Metal attribute of the heaven and earth's power had increased slightly, "No wonder it's the clan's treasure, just the first level equals the effect of my six months of arduous understanding."

Xiao Yi's gaze shifted toward the entrance of the second level.

The second level, this time two puppets appeared.

Though they were both at the Golden Elixir Realm Peak, Xiao Yi was a Limitless Golden Elixir!

He shattered them all with one palm.

This time, the Metal power of heaven and earth he received was twice that of the first level.

Xiao Yi continued to move forward...

The third level.

The fourth level.

The fifth level...

All the way to the ninth level.

Hum!

The Metal power within Xiao Yi's body had actually reached one-tenth of its potential, and at the same time, countless Metal powers of heaven and earth converged on his Golden Elixir, wildly bombarding the Golden Elixir Halo.

Boom, Boom, Boom!

After repeated impacts, the fluctuating halos around the Golden Elixir suddenly exploded.

Crack! Crack!

Two successive halos burst, transforming into a pattern that was branded onto the Golden Elixir. At the same time, surging energy flooded into the God Sealing Seed, wildly increasing it by two hundred thousand, achieving the number of one million.

Generally, as long as one condenses the pattern, they could step into the Tao Tribulation Realm.

But Xiao Yi was still at the Golden Elixir Realm Peak.

"To enter the Tao Tribulation Realm with a Limitless Golden Elixir, I must shatter all the Golden Elixir Halos, transforming them into Martial Dao Divine Fruit."

Xiao Yi let out a long breath; he had already topped the Metal Tower, which was a major step toward the Tao Tribulation Realm, "Eighteen more Golden Elixir Halos to go, let's shatter them in one fell swoop!"

With that thought.

Xiao Yi left the Metal Tower and appeared in front of Dongfang Kuang.

Dongfang Kuang was completely stunned, "You came out so soon?"

Xiao Yi nodded, "I've already reached the top!"

"Reached the top?"

Dongfang Kuang was dumbfounded, "It's only been a short while, and you've already reached the top? How is that possible? When Xiao Tianjiao came to use the Yin Yang Five Elements Tower, it took him half an hour just for the first tower, and you..."

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "He is him, I am me!"

"This, this..."

Even Dongfang Kuang, who had lived for hundreds of years, felt his emotions surge for the first time as he looked at Xiao Yi with anticipation, "Are you preparing to challenge the second Yin Yang Tower?"

Xiao Yi nodded, then walked toward the second tower, the Wood Tower.

Dongfang Kuang couldn't help but watch intently, "Can he... succeed?"
