Chapter 551 Chapter 8 Temple
Chapter 551 Return to Bafang Temple
Only one kind of blood of the five animals was missing, and Master Li Dao couldn't help feeling a little anxious. In his heart, the priority of the ordination from Heaven was much higher than that of the Eight Directions Temple.
Therefore, after getting the blood of the Red-Eyed Divine Chicken, Li Yuan did not stop at all, but turned around and went back to the Bafang Temple. He planned to find the Taoist Yuanqing to ask him some questions.
Woohoo~
There is a gentle breeze on the mountain tops.
Li Yuan walked quickly to the edge of the cliff and looked around carefully, but was shocked. Through the mist, there was not even a single person at the foot of the mountain.
"What about people?"
Li Yuan frowned.
The fog in the mountains can block one's perception, but one can still see whether there is anyone there. However, when he took a quick glance, there was no one on the mountain path or at the foot of the mountain.
"They're all gone? That's impossible..."
Li Yuan's heart tightened and he activated the token. With a buzzing sound, he was already in the passage. He quickly walked around East 23 and observed carefully.
There are many stone tablets at the foot of the mountain, but no human figures are seen.
"There doesn't seem to be any signs of fighting here. Where did the people go?"
Li Yuan was somewhat suspicious. There was a plain at the foot of Bafang Mountain. After a quick glance, he could not find any traces within dozens of miles.
He didn't believe that the people of the court would pay such a huge price and then disappear and retreat with nothing in return. After a moment's thought, he changed the chariot, put on his armor and walked out of the passage.
There were a few piles of bonfire embers at the foot of the mountain, but they had long been extinguished.
"This……"
Li Yuan frowned and looked at the stone tablets. He was stunned after taking a quick glance.
【Monument of Qin Yun】
[Bloodline: Human]
[Realm: The Fourth Heaven of the Divine Palace]
[Talent and Potential: Unrivaled (Part 1)]
[Divine Potential: Top]
[Spiritual Potential: Divine Level (Extreme)]
[Climbing a hundred steps, understanding the "Eight Directions Diagram" 1]
"The fourth level of the Divine Palace is so high?"
Li Yuan was surprised and a little shocked.
The realm of this Great Fortune Ancestor is actually higher than that of the Prison Dragon?
"Unrivaled in the world (above), with the best divine gift, worthy of being the supreme grandmaster..."
Li Yuan looked at it carefully.
He was not surprised that Qin Yun comprehended the Eight Directions Diagram. After all, from what Lingyin had seen, he had been in the Eight Directions Diagram left by Taoist Dragon Demon for at least several hundred years.
What surprised him was that this old man, who was at least 1,400 years old, could still climb a hundred steps!
"Did I guess wrong before? Mountain climbing has nothing to do with bone age? Climbing a hundred steps... Too bad, he doesn't want my token."
Li Yuan had some thoughts in his mind, but soon he put this regret and surprise behind him. He saw the bottom of the stone tablet, where there was a line of text emitting a faint light.
[Already entered the Taoist Soldier Tower...9th floor]
"Taoist Soldier Tower?"
Li Yuan frowned and looked at other stone tablets, and found that the Daobing Tower was shown on the tablets left by many masters and great masters who had entered the temple before, including Wan Zhuliu.
It's just that the levels vary.
The lowest is on the first or second floor, and the highest is Qin Yun and Wan Zhuliu, both on the ninth floor. Master Long and the others are on the fourth or fifth floor.
"This soldier tower..."
Li Yuan was a little surprised.
There was no guidance for the trial in the Bafang Temple. He had also been groping for other trials and passages before, but to no avail. He did not expect that the imperial court had found it.
"More people means more work... Is this soldier tower another kind of mountain climbing test?"
Li Yuan glanced at the other stone tablets and finally stopped at his own tablet. At the bottom of the tablet, there were also the words "Daobing Tower", but there was no light.
Keeping the information on the stone tablet in mind, Li Yuan tried to touch the "Yuanqing Monument" in front of him. The moment he touched it, he sensed a faint aura.
hum~
As he was looking at it, he felt a shock in his arms, and the Bafang Temple token emitted a faint light, as if responding to the energy.
Li Yuan took it out and moved closer to the stone tablet. He suddenly felt an invisible energy vibrating, interweaving and changing in front of his eyes, transforming into a light curtain as tall as a person.
In the light curtain, there is a giant tower that reaches from the ground to the sky, like a pillar of heaven.
The giant tower was tall and majestic, with extremely intricate divine patterns interwoven on it, exuding a vast, ancient aura.
"There's actually a Taoist Soldier Tower in this Bafang Temple?!"
After returning to the Bafang Temple, the little female dragon had woken up from her slumber. When she saw the huge tower reflected in the light curtain, she couldn't help but be surprised:
"This this……"
The little dragoness was shocked.
When she entered the temple, she was shocked that the Eight Directions Temple was different from the "universe wonder" she had imagined. When she saw the soldier tower, she was immediately certain of her guess.
I’m afraid that this Bafang Temple contains the inheritance of some supreme powerful being!
The wonders of the universe may be transformed into man-made objects, such as temples, monasteries, and monasteries, but there is no possibility of a Taoist tower for training Taoist guardians. This must have been left behind by someone!
"Do you recognize it?"
Li Yuan's heart moved and he asked.
"The Dao Soldier Tower is a trial ground in the sect's holy land, used to train Dao soldiers. This, this..."
The little female dragon was a little horrified. Could it be that what the gods were fighting for was not the wonders of the universe, but the inheritance of the supreme power contained in the Eight Directions Temple?
"A trial ground for training Taoist soldiers?"
The little female dragon was quite frightened. It took Li Yuan a while to understand what Taoist soldiers were from her words.
Taoist soldiers can be spirit puppets, demon beasts, humans, or any other race. They are the guardian force in the holy land sects of the Sanyuan Realm.
Not only can they guard the inner cave, but they can also assist in overcoming the calamity, search for cultivation resources, and attack other people's caves and blessed lands...
"Soldiers of the sect?"
Li Yuan understood in his heart that this was similar to the Divine Guards of the Divine Weapon Valley and the Dragon and Tiger Army of the Dragon and Tiger Temple. Apart from the sect's disciples, they were the sect's greatest reliance.
"Eighty-one-story Taoist Soldier Tower!"
The little female dragon thought about it for a moment and became even more horrified.
Who left this military tower? It’s actually eighty-one stories high!
Normally, the Taoist Soldier Tower in a sect's blessed land only has eighteen floors. Even a strong school like the Poison Dragon Academy is said to have only thirty-six floors...
"Is this soldier tower considered a training ground?"
As Li Yuan was pondering in his heart, the light and shadow changed rapidly, the perspective changed from large to small, and in the blink of an eye, the figure of Taoist Yuan Qing appeared in the light curtain.
[Seven-story Taoist Tower: Challenger, Taoist Yuanqing]
The sky is dark and the earth is dark.
In the scorched earth, Taoist Yuan Qing stood with a sword in his hand. Behind him, his true energy intertwined with the heaven and earth, and thousands of sword lights intertwined and surged like a tide, as if facing a formidable enemy.
About a mile away, a group of soldiers wearing black armor, over two meters tall and holding various weapons, surrounded him in a fan shape.
Those soldiers were as silent as iron, but behind them there was also a flash of dark light, some were dragons and tigers, some were swords, and there were even a few strange beasts that looked like wolves and tigers.
The aura is powerful, almost on par with Taoist Yuanqing.
And the number is as many as twenty-one!
"All the Dongtian sects use the Daobing Tower as a place for trials and selection. Talents are not considered for those who enter the tower. The selection criteria are fighting and killing..."
The little female dragon also stared at the light curtain, muttering:
"Three three, enter. This seven-story Taoist tower requires you to fight against twenty-one Taoist soldiers of the same level at the same time. This swordsman is so fierce. I can't beat him."
Boom!
In the light curtain, divine light was dazzling, and a brutal battle broke out in an instant. Li Yuan's eyelids twitched wildly. The intensity of this battle was much higher than that of the Dragon and Tiger Tower.
Although those Taoist soldiers were not as good as Taoist Yuanqing, they were obviously also skilled in fighting. Not only were they fearless of death, but they were also proficient in the art of combined attacks.
Even though Taoist Yuan Qing used all his strength, he was already at an absolute disadvantage after just one contact, and was in danger! "This is only the seventh level..."
Li Yuan was a little frightened. If he wanted to reach the top of the Taoist Soldier Tower, wouldn't he have to fight against two hundred and forty people of the same level?
Who can beat this?
Li Yuan thought about it and felt that he couldn't defeat them either, as the rank of these Taoist soldiers was too high.
"It would be more difficult to break through this tower than to climb a mountain..."
Li Yuan's thoughts were scattered as he watched carefully.
Those Taoist soldiers are by no means ordinary people. They are fierce in killing and have amazing martial arts skills. From his current perspective, the spiritual aspects they have cultivated are not much inferior to those of the old dragon head.
Boom!
In less than a cup of tea, Taoist Yuan Qing, who had tried his best, still coughed up blood and flew backwards. His protective energy and spiritual image were blown up on the scorched earth.
If those Taoist soldiers had not caught up with him, he would have died here.
"puff!"
The light and shadows shattered, and the scene disappeared.
Li Yuan frowned and looked at the other stone tablets. He activated the Eight Directions Temple token, and screens of light rose up, reflecting the masters and great masters who were trying to pass the levels.
Long Yingchan, Fang Sanyun, Dading Zen Master, Shen Qisheng, Qin Shixian...
"what!"
Suddenly, the little female dragon screamed, "Dragon, there's a dragon here!"
"hold head high!"
A dragon roar was heard from within the light curtain.
Li Yuan looked intently, and saw above the scorched earth, a roaring blue dragon, sometimes soaring into the air, sometimes swooping down, fighting with twelve Taoist soldiers in black armor.
This was not the Grandmaster of the Unity Realm who transformed into a strange beast. He was certain of this because the bloodline of this Grandmaster was written on this 'Ao Cang Monument':
[Bloodline: Jiaolong Clan]
"North Sea Blue Dragon!"
Li Yuan forced himself not to lock the little female dragon into the small dark room. Her voice was too sharp, and she kept urging him to go in and capture the blue dragon.
"..."
Li Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to her.
In the fourth-floor Taoist Tower, Ao Cang was in a very miserable state, with dragon scales and dragon blood torn all over the ground, but the fighting power he displayed was in no way inferior to that of other grandmasters.
He hit it on the head?
"Oh, stop hitting him, or you'll kill him!"
The little female dragon screamed.
"Shut up!"
Li Yuan pulled her off his waist and let her roar on her own while he watched the different light screens.
Among them, the ones who had passed through the lowest level of the tower were the two old masters from the imperial court. They were probably used to a life of luxury and comfort, and they were struggling hard on the second level, surrounded by dangers.
In addition, Fang Sanyun and Zen Master Dading were both on the fifth floor, but they were also in a very bad state. They had no power to fight back and could only move away to resist.
What surprised him a little was Master Long.
"Master Long is so powerful?!"
Li Yuan was a little shocked.
Within the light curtain, clouds and mist rolled, hurricanes howled, the blue dragon and the white tiger merged together, and Taoist Dragon's figure was elusive, and even the twenty-one Taoist soldiers could not reach him even though they interspersed and attacked him.
Finally, he combined the powers of dragon and tiger, wind and cloud, and managed to break out of the encirclement, tearing a black-armored Taoist soldier to pieces with his bare hands!
【Long Yingchan destroyed the seventh floor of the Taoist Soldier Tower! 】
[Reward: Diagram of the True Form of the Celestial Dragon (Part 3)]
Taoist Master Long, who looked very old and never fought anyone head-on, actually made it to the eighth floor of the Taoist Soldier Tower!
"Master Long is so good at hiding!"
Li Yuan felt a little annoyed.
If one hadn't seen it with one's own eyes, who would have thought that the usually mild-mannered Taoist Long was actually stronger than Taoist Master Yuan Qing, the most prominent figure in the Taoist sect?
But the more powerful one is Wan Zhuliu.
Li Yuan looked at all the stone tablets, and when he turned back, Wan Zhuliu had already killed his way to the tenth floor. At this moment, the light curtain was filled with dark color, and dragons were swimming in it, and the fighting was fierce.
With one man and one sword, they faced the encirclement of thirty obviously stronger Taoist soldiers without retreating or dodging, and fought head-on!
[Wan Zhuliu breaks through the ninth floor of the Taoist Soldier Tower]
[Reward: Diagram of the True Form of the Heavenly Blue Blade (IV)]
"True form diagram!"
Li Yuan was dazed for a moment. There were rewards for climbing the Taoist Soldier Tower, and it seemed that the rewards were based on who entered the tower?
"The true form diagram."
The little female dragon also looked over, and without waiting for Li Yuan to ask, she answered:
"The True Form Map is a method of spiritual cultivation... No wonder these people are trying to break into the tower. The price of this True Form Map in the Wanbao League is not low!"
She looked at the light curtain and breathed a sigh of relief:
"I thought these people could really win against many at once, but it turns out that all we need to do is break the combined attack and kill one Taoist soldier..."
She was really frightened just now, thinking that these natives were so ferocious that each of them could beat ten people at once.
"Killing one is also very difficult."
After looking around for a long time, Li Yuan had a deep understanding of this military tower. He walked to his own stone tablet, and an old turtle was reflected in the light curtain beside him.
The way the turtle immortal entered the tower was different from others. He did nothing but retracted his limbs, turned into a ferocious turtle shell, and allowed the Taoist soldiers to beat and bombard him.
Without even showing his face, he had reached the ninth level!
"This old turtle's shell is tough enough."
Li Yuan couldn't help but take another look. He suspected that this old turtle would be able to climb higher than Qin Yun and Wan Zhuliu in the end, as the means of the same level could not break his armor at all.
Moreover, this old turtle has the ability to shed its shell.
"Do you want to climb too?"
The little female dragon was a little resistant because the broken part of her body had not yet fully healed.
"Give it a try."
Li Yuan was mainly curious about the rewards. He has not yet entered the Dao, and it is difficult to find rivals at the same level. If he tries to climb after entering the Dao, it will be difficult to climb.
'How many points are rewarded?'
Li Daoye muttered in his heart that he was quite interested in this soldier tower. He reached out and touched his stone tablet. He heard a trembling sound, and the stone tablet trembled:
[Challengers do not need to climb the Taoist Tower]
"..."
Li Yuan, who was refused entry into the tower, frowned slightly. Does this mean that the Taoist Soldier Tower is not a place for challengers to go?
"That's interesting..."
Li Yuan's expression was a little subtle, but he still wanted to give it a try. After thinking about it, he took out the Bafang Temple token and pressed it on the stone tablet beside him.
There was no guidance at all for the trial in the Bafang Temple, and he had to rely entirely on trial and error. He could only try.
hum~
A dazzling light burst out from the stone tablet and turned into a door of light in front of him.
"Sure enough... this Bafang Temple token is very useful."
Li Yuan felt relieved, took back the token, turned around and walked towards the Yuanqing Monument. He pressed it lightly, and the light reappeared and turned into a light door.
"Climbing the mountain and entering the temple, the Taoist Soldier Tower..."
Li Yuan glanced back at Bafangshan, adjusted his weapon, and stepped into the light gate.
hum~
The next moment, light and shadow flickered, and the sky suddenly darkened.
When he opened his eyes again, Li Yuan had arrived at a desolate and scorched earth.
