Chapter 71: The Mysterious Middle-aged Man
The next day, Luo Zhanglao took Xiao Fan and the other ninety-eight people to a pagoda, where they saw that the pagoda was hundreds of feet tall, majestic and unparalleled, with eight black divine metal chains locked firmly on the ground, emitting waves of cold air, making people feel a chill run down their spines from afar.
A strong sense of oppression emanated from the tower, but the aura that accompanied it was calm and peaceful, making one feel as if they were basking in a gentle spring breeze, without any feeling of suffocation.
"This tower is the Demon-Suppressing Tower. After you enter, it will transport you to different places for training based on your strength. You only need to kill the demons that appear to pass the level. Once you've cleared the level, you'll be automatically transported out," said Luo Zhanglao.
"Go in now."
Only then did Luo's elder hand grasp the dharma seal, and instantly a golden light path reached straight to the treasure tower, appearing before everyone.
The crowd participating in the trial stepped on the Golden Avenue and walked towards the inside of the treasure tower.
"Hey, Xiao Fan, you don't have to participate in this assessment." Just as Xiao Fan was about to go in, he was stopped by Old Man Luo.
"Why?" Xiao Fan didn't understand.
"This trial is too easy for you, never mind, just go in and take a look, you will understand." - Luo Changlao.
Xiao Fan stepped onto the Golden Light Avenue and walked towards the Treasure Pagoda. When he reached the end of the Golden Light Avenue, he suddenly felt a blackout, as if time had stopped, his consciousness also paused, with a feeling of spinning around, but only for an instant before regaining consciousness.
"So this is teleportation."
Xiao Fan looked at everything in front of him with a shocked expression. Just a moment ago, he felt as if he had traversed millions of miles, and yet the world was right under his feet. The distance between heaven and earth seemed to be just a foot away, but he couldn't see anything around him. His spiritual power was also blocked until it recovered when he appeared inside the tower.
Xiao Fan took a look around and found that the surroundings were empty, without any demonic beasts in sight. There was only an ancient well in the center, emitting a strange aura.
"Hmm..."
At this time, a loud roar came from the ancient well, and Xiao Fan looked intently to see a huge leopard climbing out of the ancient well. The leopard was three or four times larger than an ordinary leopard, with flames burning on its tail.
Huǒ wěi bào, yī jiē yāo shòu zhōng de zuì dī jí de yāo shòu, yě jiù hé tuō fán jìng de xiū liàn zhě xiāng děng, ér qiě, zhè zhī huǒ wěi bào de lì liàng yě zhǐ yǒu tuō fán sān pǐn ěr yǐ.
Translation:
The Fire-tailed Leopard is the lowest level of a first-class demon beast and is equivalent to a cultivator in the Mortal Separation Realm, and this Fire-tailed Leopard's power is only that of a third-grade Mortal Separation.
At this moment, Xiao Fan finally understood the meaning of Luo Changlao's painting. This ordinary three-product fire-tailed leopard was indeed too simple for himself.
"This Town Demon Tower can only sense the cultivation of my body's Extraordinary Three Treasures' Yuan power, so my trial object is just an Extraordinary Three Treasures' demon beast, the Huo Wei Bao." Xiao Fan whispered softly.
"Hmm..."
At this time, Huo Wei Bao let out a loud roar and charged towards Xiao Fan.
Although Huo Wei Bao is comparable to an ordinary Tuo Fa San Pin cultivator, it's not that easy for an ordinary Tuo Fa San Pin cultivator to deal with him.
Seeing the fire-tailed leopard charging over, Xiao Fan casually threw a punch.
"Hum..."; A fist blasted out, the air emitted a burst of explosive sounds, and the powerful force directly slammed onto the Fire-tailed Leopard's body. The Fire-tailed Leopard didn't even have the chance to let out a miserable cry before it was blown up.
Just as Huo Wei Bao was blown up, Xiao Fan only felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and he was once again transported to the presence of Luo Chang Lao and others.
"Not bad, from now on you are a disciple of the Three Extremes Sect." Old Man Luo said with a smile to Xiao Fan.
"Thank you, elder." Xiao Fan smiled slightly.
"You go rest aside for a while first, and wait until the others have also passed through before bringing you to the main hall to pay respects to the Sect Master and the various Elders." - Luo Changlao
Xiao Fan walked to where Yuan Li and the others were sitting cross-legged, glanced at them, and found that they hadn't noticed his situation, so he carefully extended his spiritual power towards the Town Demon Tower.
The first time Xiao Fan saw this tower, he was full of curiosity, especially about the wonders of the transmission array, Xiao Fan wanted to explore it further.
The Zhēn Yāo Bǎo Tǎ was surrounded by countless mysterious golden runes, as if they were a series of seals that sealed it within. When Xiao Fan's spiritual power detected the runes, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his spiritual sea, and his spiritual power was instantly extinguished. Moreover, a terrifying force of extinction followed Xiao Fan's spiritual power and extended towards him.
Xiao Fan's face changed greatly, and he decisively cut off the spreading spiritual power, barely escaping disaster.
Even so, Xiao Fan's spiritual sea was in an uproar, his face turned somewhat pale, and even a drop of fresh blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, which he secretly wiped away.
"How terrifying! I didn't expect this Town Demon Pagoda to be so extraordinary, able to wound my spiritual sea. Fortunately, I retreated early." Xiao Fan looked at the Town Demon Pagoda with lingering fear, and his curiosity about it grew even more.
"Zhēn yāo tǎ, if I'm not mistaken, in the legend of Li Jing, the Heavenly King of Totem, there was a magical artifact called Zhēn Yāo Bǎo Tǎ. He relied on this artifact to shake the immortal world. I wonder if there's any connection between the two."
Xiao Fan was curious about the Demon Tower and wanted to take a peek because he remembered the myth of his past life. His curiosity got the better of him and he couldn't resist taking a look, but he didn't consider that his cultivation level was too low. As soon as he touched it, his spiritual energy was almost destroyed. If he hadn't run away quickly, his Spiritual Sea might have been injured.
Xiao Fan's gaze towards the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda was already tinged with a hint of fear, such a terrifying Demon-Suppressing Pagoda was truly beyond Xiao Fan's imagination.
Just as Xiao Fan was looking at the Demon Tower with lingering fear, a figure suddenly appeared beside him. A middle-aged man in scholar's attire stood beside Xiao Fan with his hands behind his back.
"Lei Shixiong."
Have seen thunder
Senior brother!
"Have seen Master Lei!"
When they saw the middle-aged man appear, Luo Changlao and others surprisingly all showed respect by bowing and addressing the middle-aged man as Shixiong (older brother).
A middle-aged man nodded slightly to a few people, and then his gaze turned to Xiao Fan. Xiao Fan's face changed, feeling an extremely strong spiritual force emanating from the other person, probing everything about him.
Xiao Fan's mental strength compared to the middle-aged man's is like heaven and earth, if Xiao Fan's mental strength is a drop of water, then the middle-aged man's mental strength is an endless sea, the two are fundamentally incomparable.
"What does he want to do? In the face of such a strong spiritual force, all my secrets will be revealed without reservation."; Xiao Fan's mind was racing, gathering all his breath, trying to hide everything about himself, but he knew that no matter what he did, he couldn't escape the other party's detection.
As a spiritual cultivator, Xiao Fan naturally understood that when an extremely powerful spiritual cultivator sensed everything about him with his spiritual sense, he seemed to have nowhere to hide.
"It's done!"
Seeing everything about himself was about to be exposed, Xiao Fang hurriedly almost cried out.
