Mortal Bones

The Xuanhuang Tower is not for ordinary cultivators to gain experience.

It is a treasure left by Emperor Xuanhuang to monks who have more lofty ambitions and hope to break through to the realm of transformation or even the realm of harmony on the journey of cultivation.

Therefore, practitioners who enter the pagoda must have the awareness of the death of the body and the disappearance of the Tao.

Xu Taiping had already understood this before deciding to enter the tower.

"Sister Lingyue, when I was studying, there was a sentence that I never quite understood."

Xu Taiping did not respond directly to Fairy Lingyue's words.

"Which sentence?"

Fairy Lingyue looked at Xu Taiping with some curiosity.

"Chao Wen Dao. Xi can die."

Xu Taiping looked at Fairy Lingyue with burning eyes.

Fairy Lingyue was stunned when she heard this.

Of course she knew this sentence and the deep meaning behind it. What moved her was the firm look in Xu Taiping's eyes when he said this sentence, and the meaning behind those words. A will as strong as steel.

"When I first started practicing, I just wanted to fulfill my grandfather's instructions and go see the scenery of the mountain cultivation world."

When Xu Taiping said this, he happened to walk to the door of Fan Tower.

He did not push the door open, but looked up at the top of his head, looking at the night sky dotted with gem-like stars, then turned his head and looked at Fairy Lingyue with a smile and said:

"But now, Sister Lingyue, I really have a lot of doubts in my heart and I want to find answers."

"I want to find where the end of this world is."

"I want to see the scenery of that foreign land."

"I want to see if there are really gods and Buddhas in this world."

"And right now, there are many people in this Qingxuan Sect, this Zhenwutian, and this Shangqing Realm that I want to protect."

At this point, he paused again, stretched out his hand to push open the door of Fan Tower, and continued with firm eyes:

"Whether it's the brilliance of the stars above me or the smiling faces of my loved ones in front of me, it's all worth risking my life for."

After saying this, he pushed open the stone door of Fan Tower with a bang and walked straight in.

"Sister Lingyue?"

After realizing that Fairy Lingyue had not followed, Xu Taiping, who had already entered the stone room, turned his head and looked behind him.

At this time, Fairy Lingyue was standing at the door of the stone room in a daze, seeming to recall something.

It wasn't until she noticed Xu Taiping's gaze that she raised her head.

After looking at Xu Taiping quietly, she suddenly smiled and said in a gentle but firm tone:

"Taiping, no matter what happens in the future, please remember every word you said today."

"I will!" Xu Taiping nodded heavily without hesitation.

…

"Now that you have made up your mind to enter the tower, my sister will come and tell you in detail about the rules of the Xuanhuang Tower and some of the situations inside the tower."

In the stone room, Fairy Lingyue, who was sitting on a futon, looked solemnly at Xu Taipingdao opposite.

Xu Taiping nodded very seriously and prepared to listen.

Like the Wuji Immortal of Linyuan Pavilion, Fairy Lingyue had also entered the Xuanhuang Tower. With her guidance, Xu Taiping was able to avoid a lot of trouble.

"The Xuanhuang Tower has a total of thirteen floors. Under normal circumstances, as long as you go up to the ninth floor, the cultivators who enter the tower can raise their soul to the ninth level of Great Perfection."

"For most monks, it is very difficult to break through the realm of transformation with a ninth-level Dzogchen soul."

"But because of the evil god in the shadow, you have to go to at least the twelfth floor of the Xuanhuang Tower in order for your soul to reach the twelfth level of perfection."

"You have to prepare for this in advance."

When Fairy Lingyue said the last sentence, she emphatically warned Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping nodded heavily again.

Immediately, Fairy Lingyue continued:

"In the Xuanhuang Tower, the experience from the first to the third floor is the easiest."

"As long as you are qualified to challenge and defeat the guarding tower spirit, you will be able to obtain the treasures and soul power bestowed by Emperor Xuanhuang."

"But because when entering the Xuanhuang Tower, any cultivator's cultivation will be wiped out. He must practice again or find a pill to restore his cultivation in the tower."

"But even so, when you are on the first level, no matter how much you practice, you can only return to the door-opening state."

"It is precisely for this reason that the first day into the Xuanhuang Tower is often the most dangerous. If you are not careful, you may encounter unexpected events."

"In the early years, because all the people who entered the Xuanhuang Tower were human monks, this danger was actually smaller."

"After all, after the cultivation has been reduced to nothing, the physical gap between everyone is not very big."

"But since demon cultivators or monsters can enter the tower, this danger has greatly increased."

"Because even if their cultivation is reduced to nothing, demon cultivators or monsters can often quickly become stronger after one or two hours due to their practice of skills, and can completely kill ordinary monks."

"Furthermore, after most of Xuanhuangtian fell into the Demon Realm, a certain demon god forcibly added a rule to Xuanhuang Tower, adding another way to improve one's cultivation in Xuanhuang Tower."

"That's killing."

"Every time you kill a person or demon, your cultivation will be restored by one point."

"And this one is obviously more beneficial to the monsters in the tower, and once again increases the risk of ordinary monks entering the tower."

"But this time, Taiping, you don't need to worry about this problem since you have the soul armor of Wuji Immortal."

When she said this, Fairy Lingyue paused again, then looked at Xu Taiping with a sly smile on her face and said:

"So you can take advantage of this and kill as many monsters of the first level as possible, so that you can restore your cultivation to the Kaimen realm as quickly as possible, and thus get the qualification to challenge the first-level tower spirit."

"Is it true that the faster you are, the more benefits you will get?"

Aware that Fairy Lingyue's words were meaningful, Xu Taiping immediately asked tentatively.

"That's right."

Fairy Lingyue nodded and said:

"In this first-level tower, Emperor Xuanhuang wants to test the cultivators' ability to respond when they encounter desperate situations. Naturally, whoever reacts the fastest will get a better reward."
