Taoist master wants to ascend

Chapter 553: Capturing the human-headed bird

"You?!"

The strange bird was startled, and then there was a "crack" sound, and the strange bird's head was pulled out one meter long.

Li Yuan said he would start, and he would pull out the head, but the neck of the strange bird was too tough. He pulled it with all his strength, but he couldn't pull it off.

"Ah!"

The strange bird screamed in anger, and the wrinkles on his face gathered together: "How dare you be unreasonable to me!"

"Pull out your head!"

Li Yuan was smoking all over, stepped on it with one foot, and pulled it hard again. This time, he replaced the Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Hammer and the Dragon-Tiger Health Furnace.

With great force, he pulled the head up two meters high!

"You can't pull it off?!"

Li Yuan was a little surprised. What kind of material is this strange bird? He pulled it, even a divine weapon could be torn in two. Although the strange bird screamed, there was no sign of a broken neck.

"I'm so angry!"

The strange bird's eyes were blazing with anger. With a bang, it turned into a black smoke and soared into the sky:

"Despicable challenger, you angered the bird master!"

With a swish, Li Yuan followed him like a shadow, and with his big hand, he grabbed it again. The rules of the Taoist Soldier Tower still existed. No matter how powerful the bird was, it could only be at the same level as him now.

"Bang!"

The strange bird turned into black mist again, and it was impossible to catch it. Its hoarse voice was full of rage:

"Want to catch the bird master? Do you think you are the son of the origin god?! A mere challenger...ah!"

The strange bird's voice stopped abruptly, and its screams also stopped. After grabbing it for the third time, Li Yuan put it into the weapon control space without thinking.

Even though he didn't see the light of the weapon, as a puppet of the same gate, Dong Ershisan was regarded as a weapon, and this strange bird would not be an exception!

As he expected, the strange bird struggled a few times and was taken into the weapon control space.

"It seems that something is resisting the command of the weapon?"

Although it was only a momentary delay, Li Yuan was keenly aware of this. Was it this Taoist tower?

Or the Eight Directions Temple?

'Fortunately, the ancestor is still reliable...'

He changed his mind, and finally some information about this strange bird emerged in his eyes:

[Sitting Gate Puppet (Eleventh Level)]

[...A spiritual puppet born in the 'Thunder Pool Sea', because it had touched various true form diagrams when it was born, it has a human face and a bird body... Due to damage, its grade fell, and its spiritual wisdom gradually lost...]

[Control conditions: Fourth level of treasure refining, heart of spiritual puppet, Taoist soldier order]

[Control effect: Fifteenth level: Opening Taoist Tower

Fourteenth level: Kun bird shape]

Both are sitting gate puppets, and the same damage, but compared to Dong Twenty-three, the degree of damage seems to be much better, at least the latter can still communicate.

"Fifteenth level, this bird is one level lower than Dong Twenty-three when it is in its prime..."

Li Yuan understood, no wonder this bird is so afraid of Dong Twenty-three.

The gap of this level is probably much bigger than he expected.

"But..."

Li Yuan looked around.

After he took the strange bird away, the stone tablet that should have appeared after the normal breakthrough did not appear, but the black fog that had originally dispersed surged again.

One by one, the Taoist soldiers walked out of it...

"105? This is still the 35th floor... Without this strange bird, you can't enter the higher floors, and there is no reward."

Li Yuan frowned and roughly guessed the purpose of these gate puppets. East 23 is to guide challengers into the East Territory, and this strange bird is to sit in the Taoist Soldier Tower.

However, although he had a guess in his heart, Li Yuan did not release it immediately, but slowly retreated and retreated outside the encirclement of these Taoist soldiers.

Without the urging of the strange bird, these Taoist soldiers did not take the initiative to attack, but waited in place.

"Kunpeng's true form map."

Sitting cross-legged on the scorched earth, Li Yuan took out a thick stack of animal skins. He killed his way to the 35th floor in a row. He got 34 incomplete true form maps, and the outline has begun to appear.

[Kunpeng's true form map (eleventh level)]

[...The true form map written by the cultivator who has cultivated the true form of Kunpeng in the deep sea of ​​​​annihilation and the nine-layer sky. The cultivator who has cultivated the spiritual form of the divine realm can understand the mystery of the spiritual form and hope to comprehend the true form of Kunpeng from it...]

[Control conditions: Heaven-level spiritual form, Shuiyun divine realm]

[Control effect: Eleventh level (Xuan): Kun's true form, Peng's true form]

[Note: This true form map is incomplete (one) (two)]

The true form map rewarded by the Taoist Soldier Tower is indeed a good thing.

Li Yuan sat cross-legged to regulate his breath, took out the animal skins one by one, and pieced together most of them. Looking at it intently, he only felt that the light and shadow were intertwined in front of him.

In a trance, it seemed that a huge and indescribable fish jumped out of the dark and silent sea. The next moment, it was above the clouds and turned into a big bird with wings that could cover the sky.

"Kunpeng!"

Li Yuan sat quietly and watched, the medicinal power of the Dragon and Tiger Pill in his body spread, nourishing his body and removing his injuries.

In the last blow just now, even if he changed his palm control in time, he was seriously injured by the ten armors. Fortunately, his muscles and bones were strong, and his injuries were healed in a short time.

"Without one and two, even I can't understand anything from it..."

Li Yuan put away the incomplete map and glanced at the Taoist soldiers waiting for him in the distance. This is the normal process of breaking through the tower, not going crazy and dying with him.

"Huh!"

Li Yuan closed his eyes and entered the palm space.

On the dark stone platform, the strange bird was motionless, like a lifeless wooden block. Li Yuan looked at it for a few times and took down the black whale hammer.

With a thought, he pulled the strange bird into the mysterious realm of the black whale.

"Ah!"

Hanging upside down on the mountaintop, screams pierced the sky.

The strange bird with a human head flapped its wings and flew up, its eyes full of horror:

"You, you can actually catch the bird master?!"

"How did you do it?!"

The human-headed strange bird was very shocked. It couldn't even get out of the Taoist tower, and this challenger who hadn't entered the temple yet actually had this ability? !

"Talk?"

Li Yuan grinned.

He couldn't meet the conditions to control this strange bird at all, but since he could communicate, there were other ways to exchange for what he needed.

Those who were silent like Dong Twenty-three were the trouble.

"What to talk about?"

The strange bird was very alert. It shook its neck and made a 'clicking' sound. It didn't forget the scene when the challenger wanted to pull out its head.

"Cooperation."

Li Yuan didn't even blink: "For example, the heart of the spirit puppet."

"Are you willing to give it to me?"

The strange bird didn't believe that if it were itself, it would never choose itself over Dong Twenty-three.

"This one won't work, but there may not be only one Spirit Puppet Heart, right?"

Li Yuan still wanted to get some information.

This Eight Directions Temple didn't have any guidance at all, and it was too slow to explore on your own.

"Of course there is more than one Spirit Puppet Heart, but you are lucky to get one, and it is impossible to get another one."

The strange bird was not easy to fool, it tried to communicate with the Taoist Soldier Tower, but to its shock, it could not feel the existence of the Taoist Soldier Tower at all, an indescribable aura blocked its perception.

This made it terrified and a little excited.

"Why?"

Li Yuan was still trying to get some information.

"The Spirit Puppet Heart, only those with excellent ratings have a small chance of getting it, unless your rating rises significantly, otherwise, it is impossible to get a second one."

The strange bird hesitated, but still answered.

"Rating?"

Li Yuan's heart moved slightly: "How can this rating rise significantly?"

"Talent, understanding."

The strange bird landed on a stone tablet.

"Like this?"

Li Yuan's mind became active.

He now possesses more than 2,000 forms, which is not far from 10,000 forms. If he can get one or two more Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Soldiers, he is sure to gather 10,000 forms within ten years.

By then, with the talent of gods and demons, he will definitely be able to obtain a higher evaluation.

"What about the temple trial?"

Li Yuan was very curious about this: "Can't I get a spirit puppet heart after entering the temple?"

"You?"

The strange bird glanced at him:

"You haven't even cultivated the spirit form, what right do you have to compete with other challengers for the first place in the East Territory?"

"Other challengers?"

Li Yuan's eyes sank.

He naturally knew that there were other challengers. He was just one of the rocky peaks.

Even if he couldn't get information about other challengers who reached the top, he could judge them by himself and infer how terrifying those people were.

I was awarded the superior rating by relying on the blessing of the three Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Soldiers in the Weapon-controlling Scroll. If those people relied on themselves to reach the top of the mountain...

"After the destruction of the Divine Dynasty, the Eight Directions Temple has been floating around for countless Yuanhui. Do you think you are the only challenger in the East?"

The strange bird sneered. From the fact that this challenger knew nothing about the trials in the temple, it could be sure that the other puppets sitting at the gate were probably much more seriously damaged than itself.

"Divine Dynasty?"

Li Yuan's heart moved and caught the key point: "Origin Divine Dynasty?"

"Heh~"

The strange bird did not answer, but just looked at him coldly.

This Eight Directions Temple...

Li Yuan's mind was scattered, and he continued to ask:

"Do you need to face other challengers to enter the temple trial?"

"You should ask the twenty-third master about these, not me."

The strange bird calmed down and no longer wanted to answer: "If you want to know more, bring the heart of the spirit puppet!"

The conversation was terminated.

Facing the uncooperative strange bird, Li Yuan did not say much. He did not expect to convince this strange bird at once.

But it doesn't matter...

"There's plenty of time, take your time."

Li Yuan sneered and turned to leave the Mysterious Whale Secret Realm. He didn't believe that he couldn't tame this human-headed bird with only half a head.

Buzz~

On the 35th floor, Li Yuan glanced at the agitated Taoist soldiers and had no intention of letting the human-headed strange bird out.

This time he was able to catch this strange bird by surprise. It would not be so easy to catch it again if he let it out.

"There are still two pieces missing from the Kunpeng True Form Map..."

Li Yuan turned around and left without hesitation.

He hadn't even entered the Tao and was not so eager to collect the True Form Map.

Huh~

A breeze blew at the foot of Bafang Mountain.

Li Yuan stepped out of the light gate and took out the Bafang Temple token without hesitation.

He gained a lot from talking to this strange bird. The use of this token was one of them. This token, which was rewarded for climbing the 100 steps, has a wide range of uses.

Theoretically, with this token, he can enter all places except the temple entrance test, which requires climbing to the top.

And...

"Dao Bing Tower."

Li Yuan silently chanted in his heart and pressed the token on the "Yuan Qing Monument".

With a "hum", a light curtain appeared on the monument, reflecting a dozen people sitting cross-legged in front of the stream in the forest outside the Dao Bing Tower, not far away, to comprehend the true form map.

Among them, Yuan Qing Taoist was in a daze in front of the stone tablet in front of the tower, and Taoist Master Long was not far away, frowning and thinking about something.

"Hmm... Yuan Qing Taoist."

Li Yuan changed his mind and activated the token, targeting Yuan Qing Taoist who re-entered the Dao Bing Tower.

This token can bring people into the temple or out of the tower. It just needs to consume the incense stored in it.

…

"Thirty-five floors?!"

Outside the Taoist Tower, Taoist Yuan Qing felt a little confused for a moment when he felt the strange looks from the crowd. He immediately denied that this must be something wrong with the Taoist Tower.

He only climbed seven floors. How could he climb to the thirty-fifth floor?

Everyone present still believed his explanation. After personally experiencing the intensity in the Taoist Tower, they did not believe that Taoist Yuan Qing had the strength to climb to the thirty-fifth floor.

One against a hundred at the same level, there has never been such a figure in the past, and there will never be one in the future.

"Qin Yun!"

Glancing at Taoist Yuanqing, Wan Zhuliu didn't believe that he had such strength. His gaze stayed on the stone tablet with a cold look in his eyes:

"This old guy is indeed still alive!"

Silver light flashed in his eyes, and Cloud Demon's low roar echoed in his heart:

"Kill him!"

Wan Zhuliu didn't respond, just looked at it indifferently for a few times, then turned back to Emperor Qian and sat down cross-legged, with the Demon-Suppressing Dragon Magic Sword lying across his knees, and he had already begun to meditate on the 'diagram of the true shape of the Tiancang Sword'.

Buzz~

There seemed to be a faint sound of sword light echoing.

Everyone outside the Taoist Tower was shocked, and they all took out the true form diagrams they had obtained, and found a secluded place to start meditating.

Outside the Taoist Tower, the land is flat, with undulating mountains and rivers, and the area is huge.

"The thirty-fifth floor..."

Taoist Yuan Qing is still in a daze. Everyone else is fine, but he made a mistake?

After thinking about it, he glanced at Long Yingchan and others who had begun to comprehend the True Shape Diagram, then turned and walked towards the Taoist Tower.

Buzz~

The moment he walked into the tower gate, Taoist Yuan Qing frowned and noticed something strange, but immediately his eyelids twitched.

On the scorched earth, black mist surged, and dozens or hundreds of Taoist soldiers filed out, either carrying swords or clubs and hammers...

"?!"

Taoist Yuan Qing's eyelids twitched wildly: "Really, the thirty-fifth floor?!"

Buzz~

At this time, an invisible energy spread and Taoist Yuan Qing disappeared.

The next moment, he frowned and saw the familiar stone tablet and Bafang Mountain:

"Um?"

He was startled for a moment, then realized something:

"Li Yuan?"

"Junior Li Yuan has met a real person."

Li Yuan bowed in greeting.

"Is it you?"

Taoist Yuan Qing frowned and spoke in a bad tone.

"What do you mean?"

Li Yuan pretended to be surprised.

"You dare to do it but you don't want to admit it?"

Taoist Yuan Qing's face was as dark as water. He only had six fragments of his "Picture of the True Shape of the Ultimate Sword". If he had to fight from the thirty-fifth floor...

"Junior, I really don't know what you are talking about."

Li Yuan could not admit it, so he could only change the subject: "I have been away from the temple for many days, and I am back today to find my senior. I have something to ask for."

"Can you enter and leave the Bafang Temple freely?"

"yes."

"Well...it's really not you?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Well, just pretend it's not you."

Taoist Yuan Qing glanced at him: "What do you want from me?"

"About Senior Yun..."
