On the dry earth, a huge meteorite in the shape of an egg stood in a huge pit.

A huge amount of purple demonic qi was like a flame surrounding this meteorite, constantly escaping between heaven and earth with an aura that was enough to make ordinary transcendents go crazy.

Qi Lin floated in the clouds thousands of meters overlooking the deep crater in the distance, and even though he was thousands of meters away, he still felt a wave of discomfort.

However, his strength was terrifying, and in the face of the influence of this evil qi, he could completely dispel the influence of this aura on the spirit with just a brief operation of the meditation method of the Pulse Cultivation Method.

Even he felt uncomfortable with the demonic aura, and one could imagine how terrifying it would be to other weaker people.

This is not an inference, but a statement of fact.

Because the result of this fact has been presented in front of Qi Lian's eyes.

Within a radius of several thousand meters near this "Demon Star", Qi Lin saw countless warriors, wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, looking crazy and killing people when they saw them.

However, these are all low-level transcendents, who have already been transformed into violent and manic demons by the demonic qi, and it is normal to be impacted by this rich demonic qi and become chaotic and murderous beasts.

Looking a little deeper, one could see that there were a large number of third-order or even inferior fourth-order reformed people who were holding back the desire to kill, and were honestly waiting outside the pit of the Demon Star.

Who are they waiting for? Are you waiting for someone to ascend to the Heavenly Pavilion?

Qi Lin quickly took out a pen and paper from his arms, wrote the current situation on the paper concisely and clearly, and then rolled up the paper.

Then he took out a letter bird that he had hidden in his arms, tied the letter paper to the bird's legs, and released it.

This letter bird was given to him by Mo Daoming from Wuxiangguan, just to let him pass on the actual situation back in time.

Qi Lin saw that this letter bird was flying slowly, and he was afraid that he would not be able to keep up with his speed, so he simply caught it and hid it in his arms, and flew to the depths of this falling star field with this bird.

After releasing the letter bird, Qi Lin did not leave immediately.

He was also very concerned about what the Ascending Pavilion behind the mirage was going to do.

What's more, the large number of fourth-order transformers gathered on the ground made him quite greedy

Although they are all inferior fourth-order, but looking at at least thirty or forty, even if each of them can only give 250 points of transcendence, that is a huge amount of about 10,000 points!

Before he came to the Outlands, he had just upgraded a wave of newly acquired skills, and now it was time to be shy in his pocket.

Isn't this a coincidence?

It's just that he is not in a hurry to make a move now, after all, he is also like these reformers, he wants to wait for the so-called "commander" to appear, so as to see who else is in the Heavenly Pavilion besides the Blood Slaughter and the Golden Swordsman.

Unexpectedly, this wait is a whole night.

【Tower of Transcendence, Crazy Steps, 2nd Floor】

[Crazy projection has mastered skills and strength far beyond conventional cognition, please strive to live longer]

[Current transcendence 6640, spirituality 100/100]

Late at night, Qi Lone, who couldn't wait for the personnel of the Heavenly Pavilion to appear, found a chance to fall asleep.

Then, he thought that his current strength was already relatively stable and could crush the first layer of the mad rank, so he didn't fight the secret record of the afterlife for the time being, but tried to see what the situation was in the second layer of the mad rank.

As the scenery changed, when he reacted, he was already in the middle of a long mountain staircase.

The scenery on both sides is quiet, and the sky is moonlit.

He looked up, and the end of the stairs pointed to the side of the mountain, which seemed to be a temple-like building, but it didn't look like the architectural style of the Great Xia Temple, but it looked a bit like the kind of mountain temple on the side of the Sakura Country.

After looking around a little, I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

So Qi Lin deduced that he should have to go up the mountain to see his goal.

Thinking of this, he exhaled softly and began to walk briskly to the top of the mountain.

As he walked, he summoned the Spiral Sword and Berserker Armor.

On the second level of the mad rank, it is very possible to encounter an opponent comparable to the fifth order of the outer realm, even if he is ready to be killed by the first sight this time, it is also necessary to be able to die a valuable death.

In this way, while adjusting his state, he walked towards the mountain, and soon he came to a position made of wood, similar to a mountain gate.

The large wooden mountain gate, in the center of which is nailed a vertical plaque, with three large characters written on it:

Liudong Temple.

Under the mountain gate, there was a man standing.

He wore a long, dark blue ponytail, a lilac headband, and temples that hung down to his collarbone, making him handsome.

He wears a dark purple sleeveless shoulder on the outside, a purple kimono on the inside, purple bracers on his wrists, and straw sandals on his feet.

This man was standing with his hands on his chest at the moment, carrying a five-foot-long big knife behind his back, and outside the blade was a purple scabbard.

At this moment, the man was looking at Qi Lin calmly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and then it was the man who spoke first, and the first words he said made Qi Lin slightly stunned.

"Hello, my name is Kojiro Sasaki, dare to ask Your Excellency's honorable name?"

Kojiro Sasaki!?

That well-known swordsman in the Sakura Country, the peerless kendo master who was defeated by Miyamoto Musashi and became the stepping stone of the most famous sword master in the Sakura Country?

Qi was stunned for a moment - Sasaki Kojiro should be on Iwanuryu Island, not in this place called "Yanagito Temple", right?

Also, if he remembered correctly, the level of the Tower of Transcendence he was on now was the "Mad Level", which was an absolute transcendent realm.

How could he meet a legendary swordsman in the history of the Sakura Country in the transcendent class?

In his opinion, no matter how powerful an ordinary person is, he should not be qualified to be included in the mad rank to be his sparring partner, right?

unless

Qi Lian's eyes condensed slightly.

Unless the Sasaki Kojiro in front of him is not the one in history and legend, but a character made up in a fantasy work.

This is quite normal.

The ancients with legendary colors in history are easily fabricated by various fantasy works to satisfy the author's creative impulse of "Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong".

For example, Musashi and Kojiro in Sakura Country, and Sun Wukong and Erlang God in Great Xia, etc.

If you think about it from this perspective, then Kojiro Sasaki in front of you can't look at it with the mentality of an "ordinary person".

It is very likely that he is a strong person whose strength can reach the level that should be in line with the Tower of Madness Transcendence after being transformed by demons.

Qi Lin was thinking about it, and he was answering on the same time, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Sasaki Kojiro: "I'm Qi Lone, do you want to compare your sword skills?" ”

As soon as he heard Qi Lin take the initiative to compete in knife skills, Sasaki Kojiro, who was standing under the mountain gate opposite, obviously had his eyes lit up, and quickly agreed to Qi Lin's request.

He slowly pulled out the big sword behind him, and before Qi Lin could say a second sentence, he had already quickly slashed towards Qi Lin mercilessly!
