Chapter 274 - 255: Storming the Tower, Beast Taming (Two-in-One for Subscriptions)
the next day, early in the morning.
with the last strand of spiritual energy entering his body, the cycle of the purple wood heart sutra came to an end, and the faint spirit light gathered around lin xianzhi’s body also vanished.
lin shiming opened his eyes and withdrew the prepared isolation formation.
the world tower before him was still radiating bright light.
clearly, people were still attempting to scale the tower, and what surprised shiming a bit was that someone had actually made it to the eightieth floor.
although with a flash of light, that person ultimately did not reach the final floor to obtain the fabled token of the taibai sword palace.
shiming looked beside him, where lin xianzhi stood vigilant.
this half-day rest had evidently been for shiming alone, while xianzhi had been guarding outside the formation the whole time.
"what’s that?" shiming asked, looking at the tower and speaking to xianzhi.
"it’s an old senior from the spirit beast sect, but his strength, it’s truly terrifying!" xianzhi spoke with a hint of admiration.
beside them, xie an also had a face full of respect. clearly, for someone of that age to scale the tower and reach the eightieth floor, even purple mansion great demons must have appeared.
but they were ultimately only observers from outside the tower.
"i’ve kept senior brother xie waiting for long, let’s tackle it together next!" shiming said apologetically.
"let’s do it! now that you are ready, we’ll take action next!" xie an nodded generously.
at this moment, he indeed felt somewhat impatient.
it was now the eighth day, and five days had passed since the first batch had entered the small world.
fewer members of the six nearby great sects remained.
those who appeared in the small world would greatly plunder the treasures within. even though there were fourth rank purple mansion great demons in the small world, many cultivators also brought their war treasure ships.
the preciousness of fourth rank spirit boats as magical treasures lay here, for they could harness the strength of more than a dozen cultivators to achieve purple mansion combat power.
and yet, they wouldn’t be expelled by this profound grade secret realm.
"72!"
a surge of shock and confusion swept through shiming, and he stood rooted to the spot.
that character, as xie an had explained, represented the revealed age.
shiming was forty-nine!
even counting generously, he wasn’t fifty, yet the "72" that appeared only had one possible explanation: it included the age from his previous life!
he had concealed this secret for fifty years, not expecting it to be detected in front of the world tower.
suddenly, he recalled what xie an said about soul age!
for a moment, he stood frozen in place, unable to calm down.
fortunately, only he knew of this age. if xianzhi learned of it, he might worry that shiming had been overtaken.
such cases of spirit possession were not unheard of in the cultivation world, but if it happened within the family’s cultivators, xianzhi might not be able to accept it.
the next moment, the pentagram formation started to emit a flashing light, and a spirit light projection of a third rank mid-stage sabretooth tiger rushed out towards him.
roaring at him.
no actual spirit beast appeared, which was somewhat unexpected for him.
but he didn’t hesitate. drawing the laiyun sword, he swiftly executed a slashing strike. the sword intent imbued with the sword light transformation slashed fiercely through the air with incredible speed and ferocity.
fast! fierce!
in an instant, the sabretooth tiger projection was shattered.
the first challenge, passed!
even he didn’t expect to pass so quickly.
but soon, he understood that the projections of the world tower were far weaker than the actual third rank mid-stage demonic beasts.
since he had achieved sword light transformation, his strength had already reached the peak of foundation establishment, and killing this projection so easily was hardly surprising.
