304: C304 Ninth Floor of the Pagoda

C304 Ninth Floor of the Pagoda

After returning to his peak, Ling Tianyu stepped into the ninth level of the pagoda.

At the same time, another five people entered the ninth floor. They were respectively the four golden energy inheritors and the Central Region Sword Saint Palace's Gong Zi Yu.

However, compared to Ling Tianyu, it wasn't as easy for them to pass the first eight levels of the pagoda, especially for the four inheritors. It was as though they had experienced life and death situations.

"Huh? I really didn't expect this kid would be able to make it to the ninth floor safely." He had just met Ling Tianyu when Yun Jiang from the West Continent called out.

The few of them turned to look at Ling Tianyu, and upon seeing how calm and composed the other party was, they were astonished.

"Although this kid can kill a middle stage Life and Death Stage martial artist, how can his cultivation be so calm?" Good Water's eyes slightly narrowed as his heart unceasingly undulated.

Even Gong Zi Yu was a little shocked. Although he was optimistic about Ling Tian Yu, it was still inconceivable that he would be able to walk up safely.

Furthermore, there were no hints at all on the tower. Could it be that besides being powerful, Ling Tianyu was also a prodigy that only appeared once in a hundred years?

"Brother Ling …" As Gong Zi Yu was deep in thought, he cupped his hands towards Ling Tianyu.

At the same time, Ling Tianyu was slightly depressed as well. He thought that he would be the first one to arrive, but to think that there would be others as well.

It was one thing for Gong Zuyu to be so strong, but the other four were much weaker than him, and yet he was still able to reach the ninth level.

"Brother Gong, everyone, congratulations on successfully clearing the level!" Until now, Ling Tianyu could only greet him with a smile.

"Hmph, clear the level? Don't you know that the ninth floor is the most difficult stage? " The scale wound from the Northern Region coldly snorted, not giving Ling Tianyu a good look.

"Hehe!" Does this little brother not understand that the ninth floor is going to directly face the dark yellow mother energy? " The Central Governor of Gormenghast chuckled.

"Facing Black Yellow Mother Qi?" Ling Tianyu hesitated. Indeed, he didn't know what was going on.

"Ai, looking at you, I know you don't know. It seems that there are many things that the Tower Soul has yet to explain to you." Ye Zichen sighed with a smile, then shook his head towards the others.

The Tower Soul didn't tell Ling Tianyu. What did this mean? It meant that the tower genie didn't think too highly of this kid.

"Senior-apprentice Brother Gong, since you don't have that golden energy protecting you, we'll take our leave first!" Kindwater nodded to Gong Zi Yu, a bewitching look in his eyes, but he did not place any importance on the other party.

After that, without waiting for Gong Zi Yu to say anything, he immediately left with the other four people.

This kind of scene completely fell into Ling Tianyu's eyes. He didn't understand, didn't they say that the top five sects of the Central Region were led by the Sword Saint Palace?

But now, although Gong Zi Yu's strength was the strongest, it seemed that the people here didn't have much respect for him. Especially the South Province's White Cloud Sword Sect. They actually robbed their resources.

"Heh, Brother Ling wants to ask why our Sword Saint Palace is so disrespected, right?" Looking at Ling Tianyu's expression, Gong Zi Yu laughed helplessly.

"A thousand years ago, the patriarch of our Palace of Sword Saints went missing along with the Human Emperor. This caused the status of our Palace of Sword Saints to decline, resulting in the current situation."

Gong Zi Yu said this without concealing anything, because in his heart, he felt that Ling Tian had an indescribable sense of familiarity.

"Although the Sword Saint Palace is much stronger than the other four continents, but with just the Central Region's top five powers, our Sword Saint Palace is already in the middle to lower rankings. It's much weaker than the Longsong Sect."

Gong Zi Yu continued speaking, his eyes filled with dejection.

"Brother Gong, there's no need for this. Senior Sword Saint has just gone missing. He might even return one day." Ling Tianyu consoled.

He knew about the situation within the Cloudsea Secret Realm. There was a statue of a senior Sword Saint inside. This meant that they were the people that had formed the secret realm together. In particular, the Sword Saint had mentioned that the person he had made a bet with might very well be the Human Emperor.

It was impossible to know where they had gone.

"That's right, we also hope for him to come back. It's just that we don't have the time for him. If this goes on, our Sword Saint Palace will definitely be removed from the top power in the Middle Prefecture."

Gong Zi Yu sighed, there was competition among the warriors and powers, and it was the same thing, only that the stronger one was, the higher his status would be, and the more resources he would be able to obtain.1

The status of the Sword Saint Palace had gradually declined, and the spirit crystal mines that they occupied had been snatched away one after another without any other options.

His only chance now was to inherit the Human Emperor's inheritance, control the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Tower, and become the guardian of the Mortal Realm.

"Brother Gong, don't worry. If you need help, I am willing to help." After accepting the benefits of the other party, Ling Tianyu was forced to climb Mount Liang as well.

Now, he finally understood the meaning behind Sword Saint's words. It turned out that this old fellow had long ago thought of the events that would happen a thousand years later.

"You?" It was reasonable to say that the Silver Moon Sect was not related to the Sword Saint Palace at all. Furthermore, Ling Tianyu had only just met him, why would he say that?

"Heh, when the time comes, Brother Gong, you can ask the disciples of your sect, Ling Hua and Xiao Qing, and they will tell you. Right now, let's first think of how to obtain the inheritance."

Ling Tianyu smiled faintly, but didn't point it out. He immediately headed inside.

After taking a few steps, Ling Tianyu noticed that the light in the room had suddenly turned extremely dim and was filled with a dark yellow aura.

In a split-second, he felt as if he couldn't breathe properly. All of his cultivation had been suppressed, and his whole body felt like it was being bitten by millions of ants.

However, just as he was about to ask the artifact spirit, the golden energy within his body immediately spilled outwards, enveloping him in a golden light and excluding the dark yellow aura from his body.

"It's finally alright!" Ling Tianyu's heart lightened. He felt that if he had been delayed even a moment longer, his body would have been crushed.

Now, he understood what the Tower Soul meant when he said the golden energy had an unexpected benefit.

"Eh, brother Gong is actually alright?" Ling Tianyu turned his head to look and found that Gong Zi Yu was covered in sword intent and that the black aura was unable to get close to him.

But even so, using sword intent to form a barrier still required the consumption of true qi. Compared to the five of them, their true strength would be affected.

"Brother Ling doesn't need to be surprised. When you reach the realm of One with the Sword, you can also use sword intent to form a shield, and so can Brother Ling. However, you have golden energy, you don't need to waste your true qi."

Gong Zi Yu said simply and quickly walked forward.

The test of the ninth floor was to resist the dark yellow mother energy. Now, if all six of them were able to withstand it, they would have no choice but to fight for the inheritance.

When they arrived at the center of the ninth floor, the four of them were standing in front of a stone table. On the stone table was a floating sphere of dark yellow mother energy.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and open this restriction." Upon seeing Ling Tianyu's arrival, Lin TianAo bellowed.

If one looked carefully, they would see that there was a powerful restriction on this stone platform. And on this stone platform, it was already written that five people needed to simultaneously inject their golden energy to unlock it.

"What are you shouting for? Open it yourself if you dare!" Every person has their own flames of anger. From the very start, they didn't place Ling Tianyu in their eyes at all. As such, Ling Tianyu didn't pay them any heed.

"You …"

"You what? If you tell this young master again, I'll immediately leave." Ling Tianyu said furiously.

"Brother Scaled Wound, forget it, let's work together to open this barrier." Good Water frowned and said softly.
