The rules of the Ancient Ming Divine Pagoda were different in the past. The rules of the second level had not changed much.
The second level had the most people. Their cultivations were all around the Core Transformation stage. The first thing they needed to do was to join a camp. There were a lot of miscellaneous things. The key was that they could not force challenges!
Everyone had to observe each other. Only after understanding each other thoroughly could they challenge each other. It was definitely not a problem to take it slow. However, he did not like this. It was too much of a waste of time.
After knowing this, Yi Tianyun decided to rush to the third level. After reaching the third level, he could force challenges. The other party could not refuse!
The first two levels did not have such mandatory challenges. The main point was to protect the weak disciples. That was why there were such rules. If someone knew that you were strong, no one would accept the challenge.
This was originally a very good rule. It was a good rule to train new disciples. However, it was different now. It was simply a rubbish rule. If someone with a strong cultivation entered and no one accepted the challenge, how could he continue? How could he collect the flame brand?
Therefore, he needed to join a camp. If he wanted to go up, he could send someone from the camp to "give" the flame brand. He just needed to lose on purpose. After all, losing the flame brand would not kill him.
If he lost in the second level, he would recover a flame brand and be kicked back to the first level. The third level was the same. He would lose a flame brand and be demoted to the second level.
However, there was one exception. If he killed the opponent directly, all the flame brands of the opponent would belong to him. He could immediately obtain more flame brands!
Killing was the best way to earn the most flame imprints. This was why he was able to successfully obtain the third flame imprint after killing the three patrolmen.
If he defeated or surrendered normally, he would need to defeat ten opponents with two flame brands to successfully obtain a flame brand.
He was not a reckless person. Therefore, when he was preparing to fight, he had a general understanding of the situation. If he wanted to save time, the best way was to obtain three flame brands in one go. This way, he could directly go up to the third level and save a lot of time.
After reaching the third level, he could force challenges. This forced challenge could not be done at any time. There were a few conditions that had to be met.
First, the first condition was that he was not injured. Second, he could not accept any challenge that week. Third, he had no chance to refuse.
Everyone had a chance to refuse. If they ran out of chances, they could only bite the bullet and accept it. However, after the battle, they would have a week to recover. During this time, they could reject any challenges.
If they kept challenging him, it would be hard for him to stay alive. There were many rules, and all aspects were very fair. Thus, it was very easy to ascend from the third floor. It was not like the second floor, where one would be continuously rejected and unable to obtain the third flame brand. It could be said that it was very awkward.
Soon, he arrived at the third layer. As soon as he arrived, he was greeted by an even denser spiritual energy and life force. Compared to the bottom, it was several times denser. The higher he went, the denser the spiritual power and life force became.
This way, both his cultivation speed and recovery speed would increase. No wonder he was only given a week of rest. Unless it was a broken arm or leg, it would not be a problem for him to recover in a week.
"Eh, a new face?"
When the cultivators on the side of the stairs saw Yi Tianyun coming up, they all looked at him up and down. Soon after, when he realized that he did not have any camp emblems on him, he was a little confused.
"Which faction are you from?"
Obviously, they were here to pick someone up. Only by grouping up with other factions could they continue to move up. They would send whoever they liked up first, so that they could occupy the territory above.
This method was very normal. After all, the higher one went, the more power they would obtain, and the more benefits they could obtain.
The Ancient Ming Divine Pagoda had very complete rules. It was completely an excellent place to train disciples. The flame brand on one's arm could be exchanged for some treasures and martial arts. Different levels of flame brands could be exchanged for different things.
Similarly, the cultivation places that could be exchanged for were also different. The more flame brands one used, the more benefits they would obtain.
However, he was not interested at all. Now, he just wanted to kill his way up. Apart from that, he did not have any other thoughts.
"I don't come from any faction. Now, I want to challenge the floor master of this place!" Yi Tianyun looked calm.
From the third floor onward, there would be a floor master here. As long as he defeated him, he would be able to become the floor master. At that time, he would be able to obtain more power, and more importantly, he would be able to obtain flame brands faster.
"Challenge the floor master? You want to challenge the floor master?"
Their expressions were strange. This newcomer had just come up, and he wanted to challenge the floor master. This was no longer overestimating his own capabilities, but rather, he was out of his mind.
Yi Tianyun could not be bothered with them. Instead, he swept his gaze across, and his Appraisal Eye quickly enveloped this area. The area near the stairs was actually the city area of the third floor, and the structure was basically the same.
As long as there were enough flame brands, one could keep climbing up, and they would all be stacked up.
Soon, he locked onto a palace in the city. There was a cultivator sitting inside, devouring other cultivators. If this was not the Evil Spirit Race, who else could it be?
Yi Tianyun's gaze turned cold, and he quickly rushed toward the palace. Before the cultivators beside him could react, Yi Tianyun had already disappeared from their sight, leaving them looking at each other in dismay.
Soon, he arrived in front of the palace. Just as he approached, a cultivator immediately intercepted him and said angrily, "Who are you?"
No one knew who the intruder was, but Yi Tianyun had already bypassed them and easily entered the palace. The rules of the Ancient Ming Divine Pagoda forbade fighting outside the competition grounds, and those who violated the rules would be punished. However, he did not attack them and directly bypassed them.
As soon as he entered, he saw that there was a bloody scene in front of him. On the throne in front of him, there was a large amount of blood flowing down the stairs, dyeing a large area red.
There were many corpses lying on the side, and there were also many skeletons thrown at the side. It was a horrifying sight.
The key was that the floor master was eating a female cultivator bit by bit. That cultivator was still alive, and her eyes were filled with pain, but she could not make a sound. She could only let out whimpering sounds. Her tongue had been cut off, so she definitely could not even make a sound.
Seeing this scene, Yi Tianyun was not surprised. Not to mention that the floor master of the third floor was from the Evil Spirit Race, all the floor masters of the entire Ancient Ming Divine Pagoda were from the Evil Spirit Race, and they firmly controlled all the lifelines. It could be said that whoever challenged the floor master would definitely die!
