When Mu Qing's toes touched the platform in front of the pavilion door, Ta Ling's voice came into his ears - "The eighth floor is called the Guimeng Palace, I told you before, on this floor, you can get my Holy Clan exercises......"

After a pause, Ta Ling continued: "Originally, the rules of this layer were: those who come up will accept a small test from me, and I will pass on a suitable cultivation method according to the situation, and then, on the premise of volunteering, I will choose one of them to climb to the ninth floor...... But this time there is something special: you have decided to go up to the ninth floor, and that little test will be spared! After the other person has passed the test, I will send you directly to the ninth floor!"

Ta Ling's words were a little flickering, and Mu Qing Chuanyin asked, "So, I just need to wait?"

He said, "Who is the other person coming up?" Huo Daoyou or Ling Xue Girl?"

Ta Ling said: "You don't need to know who the other person is. You just need to know that when that person completes the test, his or her Holy Tower mark will be transferred to your hand, and then you will be able to go to the ninth floor!"

Mu Qing was happy, and said in his heart: Just now, I was worried about facing one of the people in Huotian Qiu and Ling Xue, so in this way, even the last bit of trouble will be saved. This tower climbing competition has a bit of an anticlimactic meaning.

Another question suddenly came to mind: If that person, whether it is Huo Tianqiu or Ling Xue, gets the exercises of the Holy Clan of the Tower Spirit? No matter what this exercise is, it must be the exercises of the Demon Clan! In the future, when he goes outside, will it be another rock? Will the battle between immortals and demons, which had been silent for 3,000 years, be restarted again?

Although she thought of this question, Mu Qing was not too worried. He doesn't have Tian Qing'er's noble sentiment of "guarding the boundary and reassuring the people, eliminating demons and defending the road". Whether it's an immortal or a demon, just don't mess with me! Establish a life in the spiritual realm and achieve your goals step by step, this is what Mu Qing considers.

In fact, Mu Qing did not reject the demon exercises, and was even very interested in the "True Saint Blood Refining Formula" and "Heaven Swallowing Formula" in Ta Ling's mouth. The reason why he refused Taling's wooing several times before was just that he didn't want to be led by others as a gunman. Don't look at what Taling said lightly, but once he agrees to join the Holy Clan, Taling will definitely have a way to restrain himself. Being controlled by others, it's still a demon, no matter how you say it, it's uncomfortable!

Just thinking about it, Ta Ling said again: "Mu Qing, I will ask you one last time if you are willing to join my holy clan. You must know that going to the ninth layer is not only full of dangers, but also has many restrictions, which can be described as a life of nine deaths! Isn't that Daoist Bai Xian'er still waiting for you to save your life with the Heaven Devouring Technique?"

Mu Qing said firmly: "Senior Taling, I have made up my mind, please don't ask again, thank you for your kindness." ”

After a moment of silence, Ta Ling said: "Okay, don't say more, go in and wait......"

Mu Qing walked up the stone steps.

The only pavilion in the sky is the central hall, which appears to be made of a translucent black crystal that emits a faint black glow. The door of the palace was hidden, and Mu Qing pushed the door in.

In the main hall, there is nothing but fifteen black crystal pillars. On the ground, fifteen stone pillars surrounded a mysterious magic circle, which had not been activated at the moment, like a huge relief.

Mu Qing walked around the main hall and found nothing else, so he sat down against a stone pillar and waited for Ta Ling to contact him again.

......

The same hall, the same stone pillars, the same circle.

Huo Tianqiu sat in the center of the magic circle, his eyes were closed, his hands pinched one magic trick after another, his expression was sometimes fierce, sometimes painful, his body was soaked with sweat, the gray flames around his body were churning, and his natal magic weapon black bone burning smoke lock transformed into a debut ghost, leaping and shuttling without a goal, bringing out the chilling sound of "puff, whirring......

It's strange to say.

There is no other building in this sky pavilion except the central hall. The main hall where Huo Tianqiu and Mu Qing were located was obviously the same place, but the two couldn't see each other. On one side it is quiet and peaceful, and on the other side it seems to be overturning the river and the sea.

Although Huo Tianqiu's understanding of the Honghuang Holy Pagoda was not as detailed as Mu Qing's, he was not ignorant. Dugu Qing had already told him: There is a demon inheritance in this desolate holy tower. Moreover, Duguqing gave him a piece of the Holy Tower Order and brought him in, the main purpose of which was also to get a demon exercise called "Heaven Swallowing Technique".

It's just that the two didn't meet each other after they came in, and Duguqing quit early. As a result, the task of getting the "Heaven Swallowing Formula" fell on Huo Tianqiu.

Huo Tianqiu must do his best to complete this task. Because, in the origin of his divine soul, there is a prohibition. He will be subject to men everywhere, unless......

......

This "little test" in Ta Ling's mouth is not "small" for Huo Tianqiu at all. It was a test of sanity, cultivation, and physical strength that is difficult to describe in words.

This can be seen from Huo Tianqiu's ghost-like terrifying expression.

At this moment, Huo Tianqiu was in the magic circle, but he felt that he had passed through a streamer phantom and returned to his childhood, and those scenes of being bullied and tortured were vividly reproduced, not only reappeared, but also increased tenfold or hundredfold.

Fortunately, in this phantom, he is no longer the thin and helpless young man, but a late-stage great monk with the "Fire Spirit Gray Flame".

He was caught by Huo Guirong, who had turned into a demon, and hung up with an iron bar through his arm bones, the fire spirit gray flame urged, the iron bar melted, and he got out, and then tooth for tooth, he used his own black bone smoke lock to penetrate Huo Guirong's limbs, and hung upside down, and the gray flame burned his skin and flesh little by little, burning the fire Guirong ghost crying wolf......

He was beaten by his stepfather, and let the dog bite him, his mother stood in front of him, begging bitterly, he killed the vicious dog with a punch, his body shook, turned into a demon wolf, swallowed the stepfather in one mouth, ate his flesh, drank his blood......

......

In the main hall, in front of Huo Tianqiu, a burst of black light surged, and a figure condensed out, and was wrapped in black light, a little illusory, looking at the back, it was a long-haired man in a black robe.

The man was tall, dressed in a black robe, with a black scarf covering his mouth and nose, revealing only his eyes and the skin around him, and his eyes were as black as ink, and he could not distinguish between the whites of his eyes and his pupils, like two black pearls, revealing small patches of skin that were very white, without a trace of blood.

What's even more strange is that his pair of ears, triangular, pointy and erect, look non-human at first glance.

The man held his cheek in one hand, looked at Huo Tianqiu with interest, shook his head, and said to himself: "What a lot of anger! With such a deep anger, it is impossible to cultivate the top-level exercises of my Holy Clan, what should I choose for him...... Fire Attributes...... Fire Spirit Fire ...... and refined the same blood puppet...... Interesting, interesting......"

......

I don't know how long it took. Huo Tianqiu suddenly opened his eyes, his chest rose and fell a few times, and with a "poof", he spit out a mouthful of thick blood.

The black-robed man smiled coldly and said, "Huotianqiu, your chance is not shallow!"

Huotian begged to hear the voice and knew that the person who spoke was Ta Ling, and suddenly raised his head, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes, but he quickly reacted, prostrate on the ground, and said, "The junior has seen the senior Ta Ling!"

Ta Ling said: "The prohibition in your soul is under the distraction of Duguqing and the rock on his body?"

Huo Tianqiu was shocked again, didn't care about the dark injuries in his body, and nodded: "Exactly!"

Ta Ling smiled: "Congratulations! After some spiritual training just now, that prohibition has been lifted!"

He also said: "Since you know Duguqing, then, you should also know something about my holy tower!"

Huo Tianqiu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare to hide it from the seniors, the younger generations know that there is a Saint Clan Exercise Inheritance in this Holy Tower! Duguqing let the younger generations in, and it is precisely for a technique called 'Heaven Swallowing Technique'!"

Ta Ling smiled again and said, "Your temperament, even if you are a dog, sooner or later you will bite your master." ”

Huotian clenched his teeth and burst out, "To be a man and a dog, the first thing for the younger generation is to live! As long as you live, one day, the dog can turn over and become the master!"
