Chapter 319: Chapter 23: Silence Until Action
At this moment, outside the Seal Spirit Tower, on top of seven huge mountain peaks, cultivators from the top hundred sects had various scenes appearing in front of them.
They were qualified to observe the specific situations of each cultivator participating in the retest, but each had different points of interest, which resulted in such a scenario.
The seven grand cultivators from the seven Taoist Sects sat suspended in midair, smiling and talking quietly.
In front of them, dozens of scenes crisscrossed, each displaying the performance of cultivators undergoing trials within the Seal Spirit Tower.
“Huh?” The Palace Master of the Great Pure Palace, Ling Ye, with her flowing black hair, seemed to have noticed something. Her eyes gleamed brilliantly as she pointed at one of the screens and gently tapped it, preparing to switch the scene, which suddenly paused.
This action of Palace Master Ling Ye immediately attracted the attention of the other six grand cultivators.
“What has Palace Master Ling Ye found, a promising young seedling?” Shui Yue Pavilion Master asked softly, focusing her gaze on that particular screen.
This was a bald, muscular man over two meters tall. It had only been fifteen minutes since he entered the tower, yet he had already reached the Sixth Layer.
What was even more astonishing was that this man seemed to contain endless thunder within his body, which he poured beneath his feet!
In the sandy Sixth Layer of the Illusion Space, the bald muscular man instantly transformed into a brilliant figure of thunder and lightning. Numerous bolts of lightning burst forth from his body, enveloping him in an instant.
The next moment, under the protection of the lightning, the bald muscular man moved as if teleporting, tracing a bizarre path through the void. Within just a few breaths, he had passed the giant sand creatures rising from the desert and entered the Teleportation Array.
Five breaths later, the screen flickered with Spiritual Light, and the bald muscular man had already entered the Seventh Layer of the Seal Spirit Tower.
“Double cultivation of the Thunder Spell and Body Refinement, quite interesting…” The Floating Saint, too, was similarly intrigued, and with a thought, information about the bald muscular man appeared before everyone.
“Lin Guihai, thirty-five-years-old, Golden Core Perfection, cultivator of both Thunder Spell and Body Refinement techniques, from the Lin Family of Central Heaven.”
“Indeed from the Lin Family of Central Heaven, no wonder…” Palace Master Ling Ye murmured.
“Not bad, his cultivation system fits well with either the Great Pure Palace or the Dragon Elephant Temple,” Sect Leader Chang Geng commented, nodding slightly.
Lin Guihai, this was the first contestant who drew the Taoist Sects’ attention.
But he definitely wasn’t the last one.
…
Inside the Seal Spirit Tower.
Boom boom boom!
The sounds of continuous battling echoed, with fluctuations of Spiritual Power overflowing everywhere.
This was a vast ocean.
Fifteen Third Grade Initial Stage sea demons lurked in the water, constantly launching surprise attacks on Lu Qingshan.
Meanwhile, Lu Qingshan displayed a stance as if he was fighting to the end, showing no signs of backing down.
Using Sword Qi Filaments instead of the Spirit Power-consuming Sword Armor to protect himself, he wielded a Peach Blossom sword, swiftly traversing the sea surface like navigating, suddenly plunging the sword toward the seemingly calm water below.
Puff!
With such an apparently arbitrary slash, he struck a real object.
It was a sea demon resembling an octopus.
The fierce Sword Qi enveloping the sword immediately split into dozens of Sword Qi Filaments, which penetrated deeply into the Sea Demon’s physical body and then gently twisted, shredding it into numerous fragments.
Lu Qingshan did not stop his killing advance, stirring up waves after waves in the ocean. All the Sea Demons’ techniques aimed at him were dissolved by the Sword Qi Filaments floating around him.
The Myriad Swords Art, capable of both attack and defense, indeed provided him a visible increase in strength.
As the last sea demon was also slashed into fragments, a scent of blood permeated the area.
Lu Qingshan’s heart trembled slightly.
Although he knew that all these were illusions, the scenes were still so vivid that he found them hard to believe.
Even though their cultivation wasn’t too high, and the opponents created by the illusions couldn’t be stronger than those in the Nascent Soul Stage, he could still imagine what a massive amount of Spirit Stones it must cost to operate such a grand Illusion Space every moment.
Only the top seven Taoist Sects and Great Xia, standing at the pinnacle of the Cultivation World, could afford such extravagance without even frowning, all for just a mere assessment.
A teleportation spiritual light enveloped Lu Qingshan.
As long as one slew all the illusionary defenses, the cultivator would automatically be teleported to the next layer.
This was to prevent some cultivators from delaying their entry into the teleportation array to gain more time to recover their conditions.
Lu Qingshan’s eyes were slightly closed, feeling the slight enhancement in his Slaughter Sword Intent, and he was quite satisfied in his heart.
The more he killed, the more he would improve!
If he could endure to a sufficiently high level, perhaps, before the retest ended, he would have the chance to elevate his Slaughter Sword Intent to Unity Realm!
The combat power enhancement brought about by the Sword Intent was a qualitative change.
At the Golden Core Early Stage, when the Dragon Sparrow Sword was imbued with the Slaughter Sword Intent, its Flying Sword Speed could increase from seven times the speed of sound to twelve times the speed of sound.
This was almost a terrifying doubling increase, yet it was only the effect brought by the Slaughter Sword Intent at its initial level.
The might of Intent, goes without saying.
….
The scenery in front of him changed, and in the next moment, Lu Qingshan had appeared inside the seventh layer of the Seal Spirit Tower.
It was a desert.
As he appeared, a whispering sound came from the desert.
Then, twenty massive scorpions slowly crawled out of the moving sands, their tail stingers lazily swinging, flickering with cold light.
This time, Lu Qingshan did not rashly rush out of the safe area.
The challenges in the Seal Spirit Tower grew harder with each layer, and his style of fighting required maintaining peak combat power. Moreover, the slight increase in his Slaughter Sword Intent also required some time to comprehend.
Thus, he would make full use of this day’s rest time!
While Lu Qingshan was steadily advancing without any rush, more cultivators chose to go all out, sprinting madly.
Some had even reached the ninth layer.
…
Outside the Seal Spirit Tower.
When the first cultivator reached the ninth layer, nearly all the cultivators from the major sects focused their attention on this cultivator.
In the Wood Attribute environment of the ninth layer, fifty Black Panther Monster Beasts constantly prowled through the forest, looking agitated.
They had felt someone entering this area, but they could not find the figure, roaming aimlessly like headless flies.
The next moment, a severe burst of spiritual light suddenly flashed from the teleportation array behind them.
A young cultivator dressed in a gray Taoist robe, using some unknown method, had already bypassed all the Black Panther Monster Beasts and stood within the teleportation array.
All the Black Panther Monster Beasts, upon seeing this scene, immediately went into a frenzy, desperately trying to stop the gray-robed cultivator.
From their mouths, spiritual power fluctuated, and a huge black light ball formed at an extremely fast speed.
They then aimed at the gray-robed cultivator in the teleportation array and spat out this huge black light ball. The fluctuation was startling, and the power was terrifying.
But the next moment, the gray-robed cultivator merely stretched out a finger and lightly drew in front of him, and a deep rift appeared in the blink of an eye.
This rift, like a giant mouth, swallowed all the black light balls, creating no disturbance at all.
Afterward, the gray-robed cultivator disappeared from the ninth layer and appeared in the tenth layer of the Seal Spirit Tower.
It took him less than twenty breaths.
