This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 317 - 21 Seal Spirit Tower

Chapter 317: Chapter 21 Seal Spirit Tower

The crevice appeared small, but that was because the tower’s size was colossal, making it seem so by comparison.

In reality, it was a hundred zhang wide, spacious enough to allow hundreds or even thousands of people to pass through simultaneously.

The Sect Leader of Chang Geng, with a gaze sharp as a hawk’s, suddenly swept over the cultivators below and slowly said,

“This tower is the place for your re-test assessment, and its name is Seal Spirit Tower.

What the Seal Spirit Tower tests is not the level of your cultivation, but your overall combat power.

No matter what your level of cultivation is, the difficulty you’ll encounter will be the same.

That is to say, despite different cultivation levels, the strength of the enemies you’ll encounter will be adjusted accordingly, but the difficulty tailored to each person is absolutely fair.

Under such circumstances, no matter what your cultivation level may be, you can all strive for a higher ranking.

Even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, overshadowing a group of Golden Core Cultivators and taking first place, is possible!”

The words of the Sect Leader of Chang Geng stirred the previously quiet cultivators into excitement.

Especially those with lower levels of cultivation.

In their eyes, they had assumed that in this round of the re-test, they were just going through the motions.

But unexpectedly, they found another village beyond the dark willows and bright flowers—the method of examination for the re-test was so novel, placing everyone on the same starting line.

Seeing the buzz of discussion among everyone, the Sect Leader of Chang Geng, unruffled, continued, “The Seal Spirit Tower has a total of ninety-nine levels, each containing a giant Illusion Array. Once you enter, you will encounter illusions created by the array.

These illusions won’t be lethal, ensuring absolute safety; so you have no need to worry about life or death issues. Just unleash your full strength.

If you can’t withstand the attack of the illusions and get expelled, it also signifies the end of your journey in the Seal Spirit Tower.

Moreover, after each level of the Seal Spirit Tower, you will be given an extra day to recover.

Finally, during this re-test, you will be able to see your overall ranking at all times.

When all have been eliminated, the re-test will conclude, and at that time the cultivators ranked in the top ten thousand will proceed to the next round of the Seven Domains Dao Debate while all the others will be eliminated!”

Gasps of astonishment arose in waves.

The re-test for the Seven Domains Dao Debate was actually a terrifying proportion of fifty thousand to ten thousand.

….

After the speech of the Sect Leader of Chang Geng, Lu Qingshan stared at the immense Seal Spirit Tower before him, a strange light shining in his eyes.

Around him, all the competing cultivators, whether from the Southern Territory or the Northern Domain, from the Eastern Domain or the Western Domain, or even Central State’s Three Domains, were now feverishly watching as the gates of the Seal Spirit Tower slowly opened.

Amidst the crowd was a young man who suddenly revealed a gleam in his eyes, and an overbearing and flamboyant aura flashed through him momentarily.

“Let the name of White Bone commence here at the Seal Spirit Tower!”

He was from White Bone Peak, the Daoist son of the current generation!

Like him, there were many proud and lofty figures standing in front of the Seal Spirit Tower at this moment, each revealing their aspirations.

…

“Seal Spirit Tower, open!”

In the sky, the ancient voice of a powerful cultivator from one of the seven great Taoist Sects spread.

The very next moment, thousands of figures from the crowd flew out without hesitation, heading straight for the Seal Spirit Tower.

Simultaneously, more and more figures took off, entering the Seal Spirit Tower.

In just a brief moment, all competing cultivators had stepped into the first level of the Seal Spirit Tower through the seven wide-open gates.

Including Lu Qingshan.

…

No sooner had Lu Qingshan set foot on the first level of the Seal Spirit Tower than he saw himself surrounded by a dense prairie, with grasses brushing against his waist.

To test the cultivators’ overall combat power, the environment and guardian illusions of the Seal Spirit Tower randomly switched among the Five Elements; at this moment, he was on a level with the Wood Attribute.

Lu Qingshan swept his gaze across the area and saw a deep Teleportation Array not far ahead.

That was the Teleportation Array leading to the second floor.

But suddenly, within the distortion of the void around him, a hundred Demon Beast figures startlingly appeared.

These hundred Demon Beasts were identical in appearance, all resembling lion-like creatures.

Their Cultivation level was all at the peak of Second Grade.

The assessment of the Seal Spirit Tower was allocated according to the different Cultivation levels of each person, and the corresponding difficulty remained consistently challenging!

At this moment, these hundred Demon Beasts charged towards Lu Qingshan with overwhelming murderous aura.

Lu Qingshan’s eyes flickered.

It took five breaths of time for the Teleportation Array to activate and take effect.

To pass through the first floor of the Seal Spirit Tower, one only had to enter the Teleportation Array and withstand the siege of the Demon Beasts for five breaths of time.

This was a relatively common approach, though, of course, there was also the extreme option of slaughtering every phantom of the Demon Beasts on that floor, and then calmly activating the Teleportation Array to proceed to the next level, which was also feasible.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the instant the hundred Demon Beasts attacked, hundreds of visible Sharp Blades materialized around Lu Qingshan’s body—the filaments of Sword Qi he had split out.

One hundred filaments of Sword Qi suddenly burst out, transforming into a hundred swimming fish, colliding with the hundred Demon Beasts.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The intense clashing sounds echoed continuously, and Lu Qingshan, once again, sent out the hundred Sword Qi Filaments swirling around his body. While the Demon Beasts were overwhelmed, he pierced through their brains, instantly shattering them into specks of starlight.

Second Grade Demon Beasts were equivalent to Foundation Establishment Cultivators. To him, killing them was truly too easy.

With minimal effort, after slaughtering all the Demon Beasts guarding the first floor, Lu Qingshan’s body flickered as he sprinted forward, heading straight into the Teleportation Array.

Glimmering lights twinkled as pillars of light emerged. The Taoist Patterns on the Teleportation Array lit up, and without anyone to stop him, Lu Qingshan smoothly teleported to the second floor.

As Lu Qingshan stepped onto the second floor of the Seal Spirit Tower, on the seven peaks outside the tower, countless top Sect Cultivators were seriously watching the performance of the Cultivators inside the Seal Spirit Tower, hoping to spot suitable talents.

At this moment, everyone could see that in just a few breaths of time, hundreds of light spots representing the Cultivators had appeared within the second level of the Seal Spirit Tower.

“Gathering the outstanding young generation of the Human Race from the Seven Domains to exchange views, there really are many good talents. Make sure you all pay close attention and don’t miss any gifted individuals!” Similar words could always be heard on the seven peaks.

…

The moment Lu Qingshan set foot on the second floor of the Seal Spirit Tower, he found that the environment around him had drastically changed. What was a Wood Attribute environment with an extremely rich Wood Element Qi had now become a sea of flames.

He was currently standing on a meteorite above a river of magma, and the Teleportation Formation to the third floor was located in front of this magma river.

In the river of magma, ten giants formed from the scorching hot magma emerged, their aura indicative of having the Initial Stage of Third Grade.

Just one level higher, and the guardian phantoms had progressed from a hundred Second Grade peak Demon Beasts to ten Initial Stage Third Grade Magma Giants.

One could imagine the difficulty of climbing higher in the Seal Spirit Tower.

Fortunately, it wasn’t necessary to kill all the guardian phantoms in order to proceed to the next floor.

He only needed to escape the siege of the Magma Giants, traverse this distance, then enter the Teleportation Formation and endure for five breaths of time to be considered as having passed this floor.

Undoubtedly, this lowered the difficulty for everyone climbing the floors quite a bit.

Lu Qingshan glanced around and saw that the ten Magma Giants were motionless at the moment.

A bizarre barrier of light had risen around the meteorite he was on.

This barrier of light would disappear after one day.

As long as Lu Qingshan remained inside this barrier without leaving voluntarily, the Magma Giants would not detect his presence nor launch an attack on him.

This day was meant for the Cultivators to recover.

Lu Qingshan’s eyes had a sudden flash.

He had barely used any Spiritual Power on the first floor and did not need to rest right now; thus, he leapt out immediately, leaving the protection of the light barrier.

The ten Magma Giants, the moment Lu Qingshan left the barrier region, simultaneously opened their eyes, and with towering aura, charged towards Lu Qingshan with a thunderous momentum.
