After leaving, Ling Xiao did not return to Qingxu College directly. Instead, he went to the Heaven Essence Pagoda.
There were only five days left before the life-and-death battle with the Blood Skull. He planned to use these few days to break through to Four Divisions Heaven.
As a matter of fact, he didn't care about the Blood Skull at all.
After all, the Blood Skull was just an insignificant stumbling block in his path.
What he wanted to accomplish was too grand and too important.
The enemies he was about to face were also very strong.
Even though he was at the pinnacle of the Three Talents Heaven, he still had a long way to go. Compared to the Ten Great Phoenixes, he was not even worth mentioning.
After returning from the Divine Phoenix Auction House, if he had not joined forces with Qin Huo, he would not have been able to successfully kill the expert who was chasing him.
He could not always rely on others to protect him.
Therefore, increasing his own strength was the most important thing.
It was still the same saying that this world spoke with one's fists.
The harder your fist is, the more people will trust you, and the more people will follow you.
If Ling Xiao hadn't caused such a ruckus in the crystal factory on Piping Island, would the 300 warriors under Qin Huo's command have followed him so wholeheartedly?
No!
The title of Heaven's Chosen Son was just an empty title.
In the end, it still depended on one's strength!
The last time Ling Xiao entered the third level of the Heaven Essence Pagoda, he went straight to the fifth level with a huge increase in his cultivation level.
The fifth level was basically where the practitioners of the Avalon of Five Elements trained.
Cold Plum was at the early stage of the Avalon of Five Elements.
Although Ling Xiao was at the pinnacle of the Three Talents Heaven, his fighting strength had already surpassed that of an ordinary pinnacle of the Avalon of Five Elements.
The fact that he could easily kill the great deacon of the crystal factory was an example.
"Halt!"
When the two of them reached the fifth level, they were stopped by the guard.
"What's the matter?"
Ling Xiao frowned and asked.
"She is not a disciple of the Phoenix Academy or Qingxu College. She is not allowed to train in the Heaven Essence Pagoda."
The guard replied.
Ling Xiao said indifferently, "Why haven't I seen such a rule?"
Previously, he had indeed heard someone say that this Heavenly Essence Pagoda only allowed the disciples of Phoenix Academy and Qingxu College to cultivate.
However, he had inquired about it before. In fact, there was no such rule in the Heavenly Essence Pagoda.
In other words, this was simply a false rumor.
"There isn't such a rule, but this has already become a tradition. You can't break it."
The guard said coldly.
"I haven't asked yet. Who are you?"
Ling Xiao looked at the guard in bewilderment.
"I'm a disciple of the Phoenix Academy. I'm responsible for guarding the fifth floor."
"Like I said, how could there be guards without such rules? Move aside, I won't make things difficult for you."
Ling Xiao didn't want to cause any trouble. Even if the other party was a disciple of the Phoenix Academy, he didn't want to cause any trouble.
Right now, he only wanted to cultivate.
"Impossible!"
The guard said righteously.
"I told you to get lost!"
Ling Xiao frowned. His Massacre Sword Intent rushed towards the other party as if it was real.
The guard's forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat. He hurriedly dodged to the side and said, "Ling Xiao, I know you're powerful. However, you'll definitely regret doing this. This rule is tacitly agreed upon by both Qingxu College and Phoenix Academy. If you break it, you'll be breaking the tacit agreement between the two academies."
"What happened?"
At this moment, a man and woman walked up from below. When they saw the situation, they couldn't help but ask.
The man was wearing the Phoenix Academy's uniform. Although the woman was dressed extravagantly, she wasn't wearing a uniform. She probably wasn't a disciple of the Phoenix Academy.
"Senior Ke, this person intends to break the rules. He brought a disciple who doesn't belong to the two academies into the Heavenly Essence Pagoda to cultivate."
The guard seemed to have seen reinforcements and hurried forward to report.
"Then why are you still talking to him? Just chase him away."
Ke Long looked at Ling Xiao with disdain and then continued, "By the way, this is my master's cousin from Piping Island. She wants to come to the Heavenly Essence Pagoda to have some fun. Are there any single rooms on the fifth floor?"
"Don't worry, Senior Ke. The single rooms on the fifth floor are prepared for you. As long as it's you, no matter who you bring, you can come and go as you wish."
The guard's attitude towards Ling Xiao changed. He suddenly became like a pug as he giggled.
"Here's your reward!"
Ke Long casually threw ten low-grade spiritual stones to the guard and said, "We'll go up first. Hurry up and chase this Qingxu College trash away. Don't disturb my mood."
"Yes, yes, yes. Senior Ke, please!"
The guard bowed respectfully and made way for him.
"Let's go!"
Ling Xiao sneered. He grabbed Cold Plum's hand and went up to the fifth floor first.
"Kid, stop right there!"
Just as they were about to enter the single rooms on the fifth floor, Ke Long shouted.
The woman beside him twisted her snake-like waist and shook Ke Long's arm as she said, "Big Brother Ke Long, didn't you say that no one on the fifth floor would dare to disobey you? Why is this person not giving you any face?
A seductress!
Ling Xiao only took one look at the woman and came to this conclusion.
In terms of appearance, this woman was quite different from Cold Plum. However, her figure was quite hot.
Coupled with her innately seductive voice, it wasn't an exaggeration to call her a seductress.
That voice would probably make any ordinary man's body go numb and their blood boil.
Ling Xiao had seen many women, and he had even seen such seductive women before. Therefore, he had never had a good impression of such women.
"What's the matter?"
Ling Xiao looked back at Ke Long and asked.
"Kid, the remaining two single rooms on the fifth floor have been reserved by me. Hurry up and scram!"
Perhaps he had been instigated by the woman beside him, but Ke Long acted even more overbearing and rude.
His tone was filled with a strong sense of bossiness.
Perhaps to him, chasing away Ling Xiao and Cold Plum was as simple as chasing away two flies. He definitely couldn't embarrass himself in front of his cousin.
"Hehe, you reserved them? Who did you reserve them for? How much did you pay as a deposit? "
Ling Xiao asked with a smile.
Ke Long became even more unsettled when he heard this. A cold glint appeared in his eyes.
"Kid, it's already against the rules for you to bring outsiders to the Heaven Essence Treasure Pagoda. Now you want to snatch a single room from me? Are you tired of living?"
"It's against the rules for me to bring outsiders. What about you?"
Ling Xiao pointed at the woman beside Ke Long and asked.
"Hmph, who do you think I am? Who do you think you are? Since when can a mere human like you be compared to the Divine Phoenix Tribe? Furthermore, I am a noble of the Peacock Tribe. Even if I brought a team of people here, it wouldn't be considered breaking the rules! "
Ke Long said disdainfully.
Ling Xiao said indifferently, "In other words, only the officials are allowed to set fires and not the common people. Then what's the point of having such rules? It's better to just break them."
"Brother Ke Long, this fellow said that I'm an outsider. Hurry up and teach him a lesson to show off your power."
The woman started to instigate Ke Long again.
