Chapter 42: Breaking into the Tower of the Seven Stars
Xiao Han rode in the wind and snow and ran directly to the Liuyun Sect. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After two days of traveling, he finally came back within the time limit, and after reporting to the deacon's hall, he went to the headquarters of the Qianqiu League.
When the people of the Qianqiu League saw him return, they immediately cheered and greeted him.
Xiao Han was more concerned about Bai Qiufeng's affairs, so he asked directly, "What's the matter, has anything happened in the sect in the past few days?"
"Yes! A few days ago, the three kings had already broken through the Seven Star Array, successfully promoted to the inner gate, and worshiped the sect master!"
He frowned, although the promotion of the Three Kings to the Inner Gate was also big news, but it was not what he wanted to know, "Nothing else, for example, have any disciples disappeared recently?"
"Is this the case, why would the alliance leader ask like this?"
"It's nothing, but I heard that there have been a few murderers on the blood list recently, and many people have been killed, so be careful when you go out in the future!"
As soon as everyone heard the word "blood list", their faces changed instantly, and their faces were frightened.
The Blood List, a notorious list within the Flowing Cloud Sect, lists fifty extremely vicious people, who do not belong to any forces, and usually act alone, specializing in burning, killing and looting.
The Liuyun Sect ranked these people according to their strength, and offered a lot of money to hunt down these wicked people, but many disciples of the Liuyun Sect were killed, and the other party also sent their corpses to the mountain gate of the Liuyun Sect and hung them high to show provocation.
The matter of the blood list was naturally made up by him, he has been busy these days, where can he have time to inquire about these things, this is just a means to avoid suspicion from others.
However, he didn't understand, Bai Qiufeng said at that time that if he didn't go back on time, someone would expose the matter, but why had it been half a month, but there was still no wind in the Liuyun Sect? With his careful thoughts, it shouldn't be a lie!
Unable to figure it out, he decided to wait a little longer to find out the news.
In the next few days, he was not idle, with the help of the elixir in the Bai Qiufeng Spirit Ring and the elixir he collected from the Lin family, he successfully raised his cultivation to the peak of the eightfold condensation qi, but no matter how much he absorbed the vitality in the future, he couldn't go any further.
He understands that he has hit a bottleneck!
The bottleneck is a major obstacle in the cultivation of martial artists, and there are many reasons, such as the rapid advancement speed, which leads to an unstable foundation and a lack of succession; Another example is that there are defects in the Dao heart, the inability to overcome the demons in the heart, the lack of will, and so on.
Xiao Han himself understood that in less than three months, he had broken through from the triple level of condensation to the peak of the eighth level of condensation, such a fast progress could be said to be "unprecedented", and it should be that the foundation was unstable, resulting in the inability to break through the bottleneck.
However, if he can't break through to the ninth level of condensation, then he can't be promoted to the inner gate, if he can't be promoted to the inner gate, he will always be just a small outer door disciple, even if he is the first day of the outer gate of the Liuyun Sect, others will disdain him.
He didn't care what others thought of him, but now Xiao Jianfeng's situation was worrying, and only when he was promoted to the inner gate and showed his strong strength, others would not dare to move his father.
Xiao Han said to himself: "Since I can't break through the bottleneck now, then I have to retreat and break into the Seven Star Array!"
As soon as he said it, he adjusted his mind, straightened his clothes, and then took his sword and went to the Seven Star Tower alone.
The Seven Star Tower, also known as the Seven Star Array, is seven layers high, each layer is like a huge round star, and there are the same number of puppets as the number of layers, each puppet has the strength of the ninefold peak of condensation, and the seven puppets on the seventh layer are even more cooperative, which is comparable to the martial artists in the early stage of the True Yuan Realm.
Although the Seven Star Array is difficult to break through, there are still many old disciples to verify martial arts, after all, a puppet on the first layer is a good opponent!
Outside the Seven Star Tower, there were more than a dozen veteran men in their thirties who were condensing the nine-fold outer sect, as well as Zhang Shihao and others on the Tianjiao list, and when they saw Xiao Han coming here, they all raised their eyebrows, secretly guessing his intention.
Outside the Seven Star Tower, there was an old man sitting on a chair, observing that his cultivation had reached the late stage of the True Yuan Realm.
He sits here, and if anyone wants to enter the tower, they need to pay a fee of 5,000 taels to enter the tower, after all, the operation of the puppet needs yuan stone as an energy source, and it is naturally impossible for people to use it in vain.
When Xiao Han arrived here, he saw that the Seven Star Pagoda on the first floor was lit up, and he understood that someone was breaking through the level, so he waited quietly.
Someone on the side discussed: "Brother Liu, how many layers do you think Wu Cheng can break through?"
"I guess you can make it to the third floor!"
"The third layer, you underestimate Wu Cheng too much, although his strength is not as good as the three kings, but he has entered the peak of the Nine Layers of Qi Condensation for seven years, I think he can at least break through the fourth layer!"
"Then do you dare to bet with me?"
"Bet on what?"
"Just bet on whether he can break through the fourth layer, if he does, I will lose you 5,000 taels, otherwise you will lose me 5,000 taels!"
"Okay! I'll bet you!"
Just as the two were betting against each other, the star tower on the second floor lit up, which showed that Wu Cheng had broken through to the second layer.
Everyone waited quietly, and after more than a quarter of an hour, the star tower on the third floor also lit up, and the two people who were betting on each other were also nervous.
After more than two quarters of an hour, the fourth-layer star tower also lit up, and the person who bet on Wu Cheng not being able to break through the fourth-layer star tower before had a slightly ugly face, but it was not because of the five thousand taels, but because he was afraid that he would lose face if he lost.
However, not long after this time, the entire star tower was darkened, which showed that Wu Cheng had lost on the fourth layer.
The man was still a little worried before, but now he laughed and said: "What's the matter, I know that he can't break through the fourth layer, and my vision has always been precise and vicious......
"Come on, don't be sassy, isn't it just luck, what you said is true, I am willing to lose the bet, five thousand taels will be given to you!"
Xiao Han condensed his eyebrows and looked at the entrance of the Seven Star Tower, and from there walked out a middle-aged man with a weak breath and a wound on his body, thinking that this person was Wu Cheng.
Wu Cheng walked out, and they didn't rush forward to break through first, but looked at Xiao Han.
Seeing this, Xiao Han smiled lightly and stepped forward.
"Pay five thousand taels for entering the tower!" The old man said lightly: "If you can successfully break through the level, five thousand taels can be returned to you!"
Xiao Han's net worth is now nearly one million, so he naturally doesn't care about the five thousand taels, so he immediately took out a silver ticket and handed it to the old man.
The old man took the silver ticket and glanced at it and said, "Well, let's go in!"
Xiao Han took out his sword and walked in under the gaze of Zhang Shihao and others.
Wang Xiong opened his mouth and said to Zhang Shihao on the side: "How is it? How many floors do you think he can reach?"
Zhang Shihao frowned and said: "I haven't seen him for half a month, his aura has increased again, I think he will at least break through to the fourth layer!"
Wang Xiong raised his eyebrows and muttered, "Fourth layer?"
Xiao Han, who walked into the Seven Star Tower, looked at a puppet about seven feet tall in front of him, and said: "This thing is really amazing, it looks like a metal man, but it can move with kinetic energy, and it can use martial arts, and its strength is amazing, but I am afraid that the body refiners of the same level are not its opponents!"
The body of the puppet is made of special metal, and it is difficult for any sword to be injured, so the Liuyun Sect has left a shortcoming on their body, as long as the attack power is strong enough to stab the puppet's heart, it will be judged to win.
The puppet sensed that someone was coming, his eyes suddenly lit up, he screamed hoarsely, and then rushed towards Xiao Han with his fist.
Its fists were fast, as sharp as arrows piercing through the clouds, and the air whirring through the striking.
Xiao Han's eyes flickered, the sword swept up, only to hear the sound of "bell", he was knocked back a few steps, you must know that he used the power of the body refining realm, and he was still invincible, which shows the strength of the puppet.
Instead of quickly getting rid of the puppet, he struggled with it for a while, trying to understand its characteristics as much as he could.
It took about a quarter of an hour for him to stab the puppet in the heart with a swift sword.
Suddenly, the puppet's red eyes suddenly disappeared, and he stood there motionless.
Bypassing the puppet, Xiao Han found the staircase leading to the second floor.
Outside the Seven Star Tower, Zhang Shihao looked at the second-layer star tower that Fang Gang had just lit up, frowned and said, "It shouldn't be, the puppets on the first layer can't stop me for half a moment, why did it take Xiao Han so long to break through?"
Wang Xiong and the others were also full of puzzlement, they had all seen Xiao Han's performance in the Ten Heavenly Pride Competition and knew his strength, but his performance today was a little inconsistent with his strength.
On the second layer of the Star Tower, Xiao Han single-handedly picked up two puppets with a single sword, and defeated them with extremely fast sword skills without making a move.
When the star tower on the second floor lit up for a moment, the star tower on the third floor also lit up, which made Zhang Shihao and the others show a stunned look.
"This ...... What's going on...... Why did the star tower on the third floor light up so quickly? The three kings didn't have this speed!"
Seeing this, the old man outside the Seven Star Pagoda smiled and said: "There is no doubt that this kid has indeed defeated the two puppets of the second layer, I really didn't expect that at such an age, he can have this strength, it seems that my Liuyun Sect will have one more strong man!"
Hearing the old man comment on Xiao Han like this, Wang Xiong and the others also showed envy on their faces.
Seeing this, Zhang Shihao said with a resolute expression: "I will definitely catch up with him!" As he spoke, he turned around and left, no longer paying attention to Xiao Han's battle situation.
"Hey, why are you leaving?" Wang Xiong said, "Don't you want to know how many floors he can rush to?"
"As a result, sooner or later, I will know that instead of worrying about this, it is better to go back and work hard to practice the sword technique, so that I will not be dragged too far by him!"
Looking at the back of Zhang Shihao's departure, Wang Xiong fell into thought.
He has changed a lot these days, mainly because Xiao Han's attitude towards him and he did not target him because of his past grievances, which shocked his heart, and his style of acting since then has also been restricted.
After the star tower on the third layer lit up, soon, the star tower on the fourth floor also lit up, and half a quarter of an hour later, under the stunned eyes of Wang Xiong and others, the star tower on the fifth floor also lit up.
Everyone at the scene took a breath of cold air, "This is too powerful, isn't it! It's only been half an hour, and they have all rushed to the fifth floor, doesn't he need to rest?" This sentence flashed in everyone's hearts.
Even the old man who was guarding the entrance of the Seven Stars Tower showed a look of emotion.
