In the Law Enforcement Hall, the crowd had already dispersed. Only the Law Enforcement Elder and Sect Master Xing Bai were left in the huge space.
"Sect Master, what was the reason for the strange phenomenon that appeared in the Blood Flame Pearl just now?" A trace of worry flashed in the Law Enforcement Elder's eyes. From the past few Sect Masters until now, he had never seen such a phenomenon from the Blood Flame Pearl.
"This … I don't know either. When I checked the Blood Flame Pearl just now, I discovered that its energy only weakened. There was nothing else." Xing Bai shook his head.
"I was just checking on a Martial Master Realm warrior, but there was actually a loss of energy. Sect Master, isn't this a little unreasonable?" The Law Enforcement Elder frowned.
"I think so too. It's just that I really didn't find anything special about Linlong. If he had any evil cultivation method, the Blood Flame Pearl would have reacted immediately." Xing Bai said.
"That's true." The Law Enforcement Elder nodded. Then, he thought of something and said, "However, when I checked Linlong's Pure Yang Technique, there was a little accident."
"What accident?" Xing Bai immediately asked.
"I don't know why, but at the beginning, there seemed to be a strong energy rejecting my Clear Heart Technique. I originally thought that there was something special in his body, so I immediately increased the input of the cultivation method. However, after that, I didn't find anything at all." The Law Enforcement Elder said.
"Is that so." After a moment of silence, Xing Bai said, "Since the Blood Flame Pearl didn't find anything special, perhaps it was really an accident. However, since this child caused such a reaction, we should also pay more attention to him."
"Sect Master, you are right. I will pay more attention in the future." The Law Enforcement Elder nodded.
The two of them chatted for a while more before leaving the Law Enforcement Hall.
…
As they had earned enough Contribution Points, Li Muling brought Linlong to the Demon Suppression Pagoda two days later. The Demon Suppression Pagoda was located at the back of Ziyang Peak. Ziyang Peak was also the only way to the Demon Suppression Pagoda.
At this moment, Linlong was standing on a cliff that seemed to be tens of thousands of feet deep. Below the cliff was shrouded in clouds, and a pagoda was faintly discernible in the clouds.
The pagoda looked extremely huge, as if it was as tall as the cliff.
Not only that, but Lin Long couldn't see the end of it at a glance. It was as if the deep valley that carried this pagoda was incomparably vast.
This should be the effect of the Runic Matrix, Lin Long thought. He could vaguely see the incomparably deep runes flashing around the pagoda.
"Junior brother, this is the Yao-Sealing Pagoda of our Purple Sun Sect. Don't be fooled by how vast it is. You won't be able to reach this place from anywhere else. You can only walk from Ziyang Peak, the martial arts plaza, and pass through the Disciplinary Hall to reach this place, "Li Muling said.
Even though she often saw the Demon-suppressing Pagoda, she still had a shocked expression on her face.
Linlong knew why she had such an expression on her face. It was because they were too insignificant compared to the Demon-suppressing Pagoda. If Linlong did not have such a profound soul in his body, he would also feel like an ant.
"There are a total of nine floors in the Demon-suppressing Pagoda. The lowest is the first floor, the highest is the ninth floor, and the lowest floor naturally suppresses the souls of the Monstrous Demons.
"In every floor, there are some Evil Spirits formed by the demonic aura emitted by the Monstrous Demon's souls. The further down we go, the more Evil Spirits there are, and the more powerful they are. With our current strength, we can come and go as we please on the eighth and ninth floor, but we need to be careful further down. We must form a group to enter, or else we will very easily die.
"Mm. One more thing. This Demon-suppressing Pagoda can only be entered by cultivators below the Martial Lord realm. So, don't hope for a powerful cultivator to come and save you if you are trapped inside," Li Muling said.
"Why is that?" Linlong couldn't help asking.
"I don't know about that. In short, no one in the sect has explained this point. Anyway, cultivators above the Martial Master Realm can't enter the pagoda through these ropes." Li Muling pointed at the empty space in front of them.
Linlong could faintly see black-coloured ropes that extended from the edge of the cliff to the Demon-suppressing Pagoda in front of them.
Every single one of those ropes was several hundred feet long. Moreover, they were densely packed, as if they were used to fix the Demon-suppressing Pagoda in the deep valley in front of them.
"These are the ropes to enter the pagoda. There are ropes like these everywhere on this cliff that is almost three thousand feet wide." Li Muling pointed at the incomparably long and narrow cliff, then continued, "Junior, if you form a group with someone, you must enter the pagoda at the same location. Otherwise, after entering the pagoda, you won't be together at all. The inside of the pagoda isn't as small as it looks on the outside."
"Oh." Linlong lightly nodded.
"Okay, Junior, let's go over. After saying so much, if you don't personally enter the Demon-suppressing Pagoda, you won't understand." As she spoke, Li Muling lightly leaped and grabbed a rope in front of them.
Linlong imitated her and did the same action. Once he touched the rope, some runes faintly flashed on the surface of the rope. Then, as if it had some kind of attraction, it directly brought Linlong to the Demon-suppressing Pagoda that was several hundred feet away.
In almost a few breaths' time, Linlong and Li Muling arrived at the ninth level of the Demon-suppressing Pagoda.
From the outside, there was nothing particularly strange about the Demon-suppressing Pagoda other than its mysteriousness. However, as soon as they entered the ninth level, a gust of wind and sand immediately attacked them.
Linlong looked up and saw that he and Li Muling seemed to be in an endless desert. There were no walls of the pagoda around them at all.
It was as if they had not entered a pagoda, but a real desert.
In his previous life, Linlong did not know how many such places he had seen, so he did not look surprised when he knew that this was a space opened up by a runic array.
This caused Li Muling to look slightly surprised. However, she quickly hid her surprise and said to Linlong, "Junior, don't be fooled by the fact that this desert is in the pagoda. It's impossible for you to walk to the end."
"Then how do we get out of this pagoda?" Linlong asked.
"It's very simple. You just need some runic terms," Li Muling said with a smile.
Immediately, Li Muling taught some runic terms to Linlong and then explained them one by one. "The first runic term allows you to leave directly. The following runic terms allow you to go straight to the lower levels. However, you can only go up to the fifth level at most."
"Why is that?" Linlong asked.
"Naturally, it's set up by the great ancestor who used this pagoda to suppress the demons. After all, the lower you go, the stronger the evil spirits are. If you choose to go directly with the runic array, you might be killed by the evil spirits before you even see them. Even so, currently in our sect, no one dares to directly use the runic array to teleport to the fifth level. Even Hua Haotian and the others, who are in the top three of the Heaven List, do not dare to do so, "Li Muling said.
"Oh." Linlong nodded and then asked again, "If we don't use the runic array, how do we get to the next level?"
"Every level has a few places that lead to the next level. These places are usually very deep. However, Junior Brother, why are you asking this? Could it be that you really want to go down and experience it?" Speaking of this, Li Muling looked at Linlong curiously.
"Of course, because I'm curious," Linlong said with a smile. Naturally, he would not tell Li Muling that he wanted to steal the spirit fire.
"It's okay if you're curious, but you really shouldn't go and experience it. The evil spirits below are very powerful … If you really want to experience it, it's enough to form a team and enter the seventh level. Don't go down," Li Muling said with a serious face.
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister." Linlong smiled and then asked, "Which level of this pagoda can the most powerful genius like Hua Haotian enter?"
Li Muling thought for a while and then said, "I think it's the fourth level. Moreover, those who can reach the fourth level also have to form a team with the top three of the Heaven List."
"Is that so?" Linlong nodded as if he understood.
However, he was slightly surprised. It seemed that the lower level was not just an ordinary level of danger. After staying in the Purple Sun Sect for so many days, he already knew that the top three of the Heaven List were not ordinary people.
"Be careful …" Suddenly, Li Muling shouted and at the same time, she slapped the area in front of Linlong.
With a muffled sound, a gust of black smoke dispersed in front of Linlong and a yellow object fell from mid-air.
Linlong's eyes and hands were quick. He reached out and grabbed the object in his hand. It felt warm. When he opened his hand, he saw that it was a yellow crystal the size of a fingernail.
This should be the Pure Yang Essence, right? Linlong thought.
He could feel the pure Pure Yang Qi that was emitting from its body.
"Junior Brother, this is the Pure Yang Essence. We entered this pagoda for this Pure Yang Essence. With it, our Pure Yang Art will be even purer and our cultivation speed will be faster. Otherwise, who would come here to suffer?" Li Muling's words confirmed Linlong's guess.
After a pause, Li Muling continued, "However, Junior Brother, you mustn't be distracted after entering this pagoda. Otherwise, if you're not careful, you'll be ambushed by the evil spirit. It'll be terrible if you're injured. Of course, it doesn't matter if you're injured. What you're most afraid of is dying in this pagoda … Moreover, don't let your guard down just because the other party is easy to deal with. In this ninth floor, that evil spirit is the weakest."
"Thank you for your advice, Senior Sister." Linlong smiled.
Actually, he had noticed the evil spirit long ago. If Li Muling did not make a move, he could also deal with it in the blink of an eye.
