Taoist master wants to ascend

Chapter 551 Return to Bafang Temple

Only one of the five animal bloods was missing, and Master Li Dao couldn't help but feel a little anxious. In his mind, the priority of the heavenly ordination was much higher than that of Bafang Temple.

Therefore, after getting the blood of the red-eyed divine chicken, Li Yuan did not stop at all, and turned back to Bafang Temple. He was going to find that Taoist Yuanqing to ask.

Woo~

On the top of Bafang Mountain, the breeze was blowing gently.

Li Yuan walked quickly to the edge of the cliff, and looked around with concentration, but was stunned. Through the mist, there was not even a single figure at the foot of the mountain.

"Where are the people?"

Li Yuan frowned.

The mist in the mountains can block perception, but it is still possible to see whether there are people or not. But he glanced at it, and there was no half a figure on the mountain road and at the foot of the mountain.

"All gone? This is impossible..."

Li Yuan's heart tightened, and he activated the token. With a hum, he was already in the passage. He walked around East 23 quickly and looked carefully.

There are many stone tablets at the foot of the mountain, but no human figures were seen.

"There seems to be no trace of fighting here, where did the people go?"

Li Yuan was a little suspicious. There was a plain at the foot of Bafang Mountain. He glanced at it and found no traces within dozens of miles.

He didn't believe that the people of the court paid such a huge price and disappeared without gaining anything. After a little thought, he changed his chariot and walked out of the passage in armor.

There were several piles of bonfire embers at the foot of the mountain, which had long been extinguished.

"This..."

Li Yuan frowned and looked at the stone tablets. He was stunned after a glance.

[Monument of Qin Yun]

[Bloodline: Human Race]

[Realm: Fourth Heaven of the Palace of Gods]

[Talent Potential: Unparalleled (Upper)]

[Divine Potential: Upper]

[Spiritual Potential: Divine Level (Extreme)]

[Climbing 100 Steps, Understanding the 'Eight Directions Diagram']

"Fourth Heaven of the Palace of Gods, 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?

"Peerless (upper), divine gift, worthy of being the supreme grandmaster..."

Li Yuan concentrated and observed carefully.

He was not surprised that Qin Yun understood the Eight Directions Map. After all, as Lingyin saw, he had been in the Eight Directions Map left by the Dragon Demon Taoist for at least a few 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? Climbing has nothing to do with bone age? Climbing a hundred steps... Unfortunately, he doesn't want my token."

Li Yuan was thinking in his heart, but soon this regret and surprise were thrown behind his mind. He saw the bottom of the stone tablet, where there was a line of text emitting a faint light.

[Has entered the Daobing Tower... the ninth floor]

"Daobing Tower?"

Li Yuan frowned and looked at other stone tablets. He found that the tablets left by many grandmasters and great grandmasters who had entered the temple before, including Wan Zhuliu, all showed the Daobing Tower.

It's just that the heights are different.

The lowest is the first or second floor, the highest is Qin Yun and Wan Zhuliu, both are on the ninth floor, and Long Daozhu and his people are all on the fourth or fifth floor.

"This Taoist tower..."

Li Yuan was a little surprised.

There was no guidance for the trial of the Eight Directions Temple. He had been groping for other trials and passages before, but he found nothing. He didn't expect the court to find it.

"It's easier to get things done with more people... Is this Taoist tower another kind of mountain climbing trial?"

Li Yuan glanced at the other stone tablets and finally stopped at his own tablet. At the bottom of the stone tablet, there was also the word Taoist 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.

Buzz~

As he was looking at it, he felt a shock in his arms, and the Eight Directions Temple token glowed with a faint light, as if echoing with the aura.

Li Yuan took it out and approached the stone tablet. He suddenly felt the invisible energy vibrate, interweaving and changing in front of his eyes, turning into a light curtain as tall as a person.

In the light curtain, there was a "giant tower" that stood up to the sky, like a pillar of heaven.

The tower was tall and magnificent, with extremely complex divine patterns interweaving on it, exuding a vast and ancient atmosphere.

"There is a Taoist tower in this Bafang Temple?!"

After returning to the Bafang Temple, the little female dragon had woken up from silence. At this time, seeing the giant tower reflected in the light curtain, she couldn't help but be shocked:

"This, this..."

The little female dragon was shocked.

When she entered the temple, she was shocked that this Bafang Temple was different from the "universe wonder" she had expected. Seeing this Taoist tower at this time, she immediately confirmed her guess.

This Bafang Temple may have the inheritance of a supreme power!

The wonders of the universe may be transformed into man-made objects, such as temples, monasteries, and temples, but there is no way that there is a Taoist tower for training Taoist soldiers. This must have been left by someone!

"Do you recognize it?"

Li Yuan's heart moved and asked.

"The Taoist tower is a trial ground for training Taoist soldiers in the sect's holy land. This, this..."

The little female dragon was a little horrified. Could it be that the gods were not fighting for the wonders of the universe, but the inheritance of the supreme power contained in the Eight Directions Temple?

"The trial ground for training Taoist soldiers?"

The little female dragon was quite frightened. After a while, Li Yuan knew what Taoist soldiers were from her words.

Taoist soldiers can be spirit puppets, monsters, humans, or any race. They are the guardian power in the sect of the Three Yuan Realm Holy Land.

Not only can they guard the inner cave heaven, but they can also assist in overcoming tribulations, searching for cultivation resources, and attacking other people's cave heavens...

"Soldiers of the sect?"

Li Yuan was convinced that this was similar to the Divine Guard Army in the Divine Weapon Valley and the Dragon Tiger Army in Longhu Temple. It was the sect's biggest support besides its disciples.

"Eighty-one-story Taoist Tower!"

The little female dragon thought about it for a moment and became even more horrified.

Which family left behind this military tower? It’s actually as high as eighty-one floors!

Normally, the Dao Weapon Tower in a sect's blessed land only has eighteen floors, which is as powerful as Poison Dragon Academy. It is said that its Dao Weapon Tower only has thirty-six floors...

"Is this military tower considered a training ground?"

Li Yuan was thinking in his mind, but the light and shadow changed rapidly, and the angle of view changed from large to small. In the blink of an eye, Taoist Yuan Qing's figure appeared in the light screen.

[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. Behind him, the true energy intertwined with the heaven and earth, and thousands of sword lights intertwined and surged like a tide, as if facing a powerful enemy.

A few miles away, soldiers wearing black armor and more than two feet tall holding various weapons surrounded him in a fan shape.

Those armored soldiers were as silent as stone, but behind them there were also flashes of deep light, either dragons, tigers, swords, or even a few strange beasts that looked like wolves and tigers.

The aura is powerful, almost on par with that of Taoist Yuan Qing.

And the number is as many as twenty-one!

"The Dongtian Sect uses the Dao Weapon Tower as a place for trial and selection. Those who enter the tower do not care about talent, but fight and fight as the selection criterion..."

The little female dragon also stared closely at the light curtain and kept saying:

"Enter three or three, this seven-level Taoist soldier tower will have to fight with twenty-one Taoist soldiers of the same level at the same time. This swordsman is so fierce that I can't beat him."

Boom!

In the light curtain, the divine light was dazzling, and a tragic battle broke out in an instant. Li Yuan's eyelids jumped wildly when he saw it. The intensity was far higher than that of the Dragon and Tiger Tower.

Although those Taoist soldiers were not as good as the Yuanqing Taoists, they were obviously good at fighting. Not only were they not afraid of death, they were also proficient in the art of combined attacks.

Although Taoist Yuan Qing exerted all his strength, he was already at an absolute disadvantage in one contact and was surrounded by dangers!

"This is only the seventh floor..."

Li Yuan was a little frightened. If he wanted to climb to the top of the Taoist Tower, wouldn't he have to fight against two hundred and forty people of the same level?

Who can beat this?

Li Yuan thought for a while and felt that he couldn't defeat them either. The level of these Tao soldiers was too high.

'It's probably more difficult to penetrate this tower than to climb a mountain...'

Li Yuan's thoughts were divergent and he observed carefully.

Those Tao soldiers were by no means ordinary people. They were fierce in killing and astonishing in martial arts. From his current perspective, the spiritual appearance they practiced would not be much inferior to that of Old Longtou.

Boom!

Even if there was not enough time for a cup of tea, Taoist Yuan Qing, who had tried his best, still coughed up blood and flew backwards. The body-protecting weapon and the spiritual form were all exploded on the scorched earth.

If those Tao soldiers hadn't caught up with him, he would have died here.

"puff!"

The light and shadow shattered, and the scenes within them disappeared.

Li Yuan frowned, looked at the other stone tablets, activated the Bafang Temple token, and a screen of light rose up, reflecting the masters and grand masters who were breaking through the barrier at this time.

Long Yingchan, Fang Sanyun, Dading Zen Master, Shen Qisheng, Qin Shixian...

"ah!"

Suddenly, the little female dragon screamed: "Dragon, there is a dragon!"

"hold head high!"

Within the light curtain, dragon roars could be heard.

Li Yuan looked intently and saw a black dragon roaring on the scorched earth, sometimes soaring into the air, sometimes swooping down, fighting with twelve Taoist soldiers wearing black armor.

This was not a strange beast transformed by the Grandmaster of the Unity Realm. He could be sure because this ‘Ao Cang Monument’ had the bloodline of this great Grandmaster written on it:

[Bloodline: Dragon Clan]

"Beihai Canglong!"

Li Yuan resisted and did not 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 didn't even bother to talk to her.

In the fourth-level Taoist tower, Ao Cang was in a very embarrassed state, with dragon scales and dragon blood torn all over the place, but the combat power he displayed was not inferior to other great masters.

Did he hit him on the head?

"Ah, stop hitting him. If you hit him again, he will be killed!"

The little female dragon screamed.

"Shut up!"

Li Yuan pulled her off her waist and let her roar while he watched the different screens of light.

Among them, the ones who climbed the lowest level were the two old masters from the imperial court. They were probably used to being pampered and had a hard time fighting on the second floor, which was full of dangers.

In addition, Fang Sanyun and Dading Zen Master are both on the fifth floor, but they are also in a very embarrassed state. They have no power to fight back and can only move to resist.

What surprised him a little was Taoist Dragon.

"Dragon Master is so fierce?!"

Li Yuan was a little shocked.

In the light curtain, clouds and mists surged, hurricanes roared, and the blue dragon and white tiger merged into one place. The figure of the Dragon Dao Master was erratic, and even if the twenty-one Dao soldiers interspersed and attacked, they could not reach it.

In the end, he joined forces with the dragon and the tiger, the storm and the clouds combined, he fought an encirclement, and tore apart a black-armored Taoist soldier!

[Long Yingchan breaks the seventh floor of Taoist Soldier Tower! 】

[Reward: True Shape Diagram of Heavenly Dragon (3)]

Taoist Master Long, who looked very old and never fought head-on with others, actually reached the eighth floor of the Taoist Tower!

"Taoist Dragon is so good at hiding!"

Li Yuan's teeth were a little sour.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have thought that Taoist Master Long, who had always been meek, was actually stronger than the Taoist sect's first person, Yuan Qing Zhenren?

But the more powerful one was Wan Zhuliu.

Li Yuan looked at all the stone tablets, and when he turned back, Wan Zhuliu had already reached the tenth floor. At this moment, the light curtain was filled with ink, dragons were swimming in it, and the fighting was fierce.

One man and one sword, surrounded by thirty obviously stronger Taoist soldiers, refused to retreat or dodge, and faced off head-on!

[Wan Zhuliu Dao Breaking Soldier Tower Ninth Floor]

[Reward: True Shape of Tiancang Sword (4)]

"True shape map!"

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment. There is a reward for climbing the Taoist Tower, and it seems that the reward is based on the person who climbs the tower?

"True shape diagram."

The little female dragon also looked over and replied before Li Yuan asked:

"The True Shape Diagram is a method of spiritual cultivation... No wonder these people are trying to break into the tower. The price of this True Shape Diagram in the Wanbao Alliance is not low!"

She looked at the light curtain and breathed a sigh of relief:

"I also thought that these people can really win in one fight. It turns out that all it takes is to break the combined attack and kill a Taoist soldier..."

She was really frightened just now, thinking that these natives were so ferocious that they could all be beaten to death.

"Killing one is equally difficult."

After looking around, Li Yuan had a deep understanding of this military tower. When he walked to his stone tablet, what was reflected in the light curtain beside him was an old turtle.

The Gui Laoxian's way of breaking into the tower was different. He did nothing, just retracted his limbs, turned into a ferocious turtle shell, and allowed himself to be beaten and bombarded by the Taoist soldiers.

Without even showing his face, he suddenly reached the ninth level!

"This old turtle's shell is hard enough."

Li Yuan couldn't help but take another look. He suspected that the old turtle would be able to climb higher than Qin Yun and Wan Zhuliu in the end. His armor could not be broken at all by means of the same level.

Moreover, this old turtle still has the means to shed its shell.

"Do you want to climb too?"

The little female dragon resisted a little, as the fractured area she had previously broken had not yet been fully healed.

"Give it a try."

Li Yuan is mainly curious about the rewards. He has not yet entered the Tao, and it is difficult to find an opponent at the same level. If he climbs up after entering the Tao, it will be difficult to climb.

‘How many points will be rewarded? ’

Li Daoye murmured in his heart, he was very interested in this military tower. He stretched out his hand to touch his stone tablet, only to hear 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 Tower is not where the challenger is going?

"This is 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 against the stone tablet on the side.

There was no guidance at all in this Bafang Temple trial. It was all about trial and error, so he could only try.

Buzz~

A dazzling light burst out from the stone tablet, turning into a door of light in front of him.

"Sure enough...this Bafang Temple token is of great use."

Li Yuan felt relieved, took back the token, turned around and walked towards the Monument of Yuanqing. With a gentle press, the light reappeared and turned into a light door.

"Mount the mountain to enter the temple, the Taoist Tower..."

Li Yuan glanced back at Bafang Mountain, adjusted his weapon, and stepped into the light gate.

Buzz~

The next moment, light and shadow flickered, and the sky suddenly darkened.

When he opened his eyes again, Li Yuan had arrived at a ruined and desolate scorched land.
