Bai Chen hurriedly replied, "I'm a first-grade ancient artifact master. If you give me enough materials, I can refine Lesser Saint artifacts and first-grade Saint artifacts."
Ancient artifact masters were a special occupation in the Three Elements World. They could refine Saint artifacts.
In the entire Three Elements World, the Hundred Tempering Villa was undoubtedly the one with the highest artifact refining skills. If it wasn't for the internal strife, the Hundred Tempering Villa could firmly be ranked first because the lethality of Saint artifacts was too powerful.
The value of a saint weapon was much higher than that of secret books on formations and elixirs.
"Where did you get this Rushing Thunder Sword?"
Mu Yun asked curiously.
The Thunder Sword was a second-grade Saint artifact. Clearly, it wasn't refined by Bai Chen himself.
Bai Chen said, "I refined it myself."
Hearing this, Mu Yun was surprised and said, "How is this possible? You're only a first-grade ancient artifact master. How can you refine a second-grade Saint artifact?" White Dust said, "I spent twenty thousand years to refine the Galloping Lightning Sword. At that time, it was only a first grade saint artifact. But later on, I found Golden Essence Iron Jade in the Primordial Ruins. It's an extremely precious refining material that can raise the grade of an artifact. With the Golden Essence Iron Jade, my Galloping Lightning Sword became much more powerful.
With the Golden Essence Iron Jade, my Thunder Sword completely transformed and advanced to the second-grade. "
"I see."
Mu Yun nodded and took out the Seven Stars Sword Case.
"My Seven Stars Sword Case has a total of seven swords. Each sword is a Lesser Saint artifact. How long will it take for me to strengthen them?"
The Seven Stars Sword Case only had the power of a Saint artifact when the seven swords were combined into one and became the Seven Stars Sacred Sword. However, under normal circumstances, it was only a Lesser Saint artifact. It could deal with ordinary people, but when facing a true expert, a Lesser Saint artifact was obviously not enough.
"At least 10,000 years," Bai Chen answered truthfully.
"So long?" Mu Yun frowned.
Bai Chen said, "If you don't want to wait, you can go to the Ancient Ruins to find Golden Essence Iron Jade."
"Golden Essence Iron Jade?"
"Yes, Golden Essence Iron Jade can improve the grade of an artifact. Back then, I found Golden Essence Iron Jade to successfully strengthen the Thunder Sword into a second-grade Saint artifact."
"This kind of material is not easy to find, right?" Mu Yun frowned.
"It is indeed difficult to find. Back then, I spent a great deal of effort to find the Golden Essence Iron Jade mine. If you wish to go to the Primordial Ruins, I can lead the way," White Dust said respectfully.
Mu Yun's heart skipped a beat, but after thinking for a while, she said, "Let's talk about it later. I want to climb the tower now."
Right now, climbing the tower was more important. It wouldn't be too late to discuss the matter of the Ancient Ruins later.
"Yes, High Lord." White Dust stood respectfully at the side.
"Stay here for me. If anyone tries to climb up, stop them for me."
Mu Yun gave the order.
"Understood!" Bai Chen respectfully replied.
Mu Yun nodded and said, "Hold on for as long as you can. I'm going to climb the tower first. If you can't hold on any longer, go down and wait for me."
White Dust replied, "Alright!"
After Mu Yun finished giving her instructions, she continued to move forward alone.
White Dust stayed behind and became a roadblock. Whoever wanted to climb up would have to defeat him first.
Mu Yun was very assured. With White Dust's strength, he would definitely be able to buy a lot of time for her.
Mu Yun arrived at the 60th floor. The guardian beast on this floor was exactly the same as the Silver Gluttonous Beast on the 59th floor. It also looked like a pangolin, but its scales were resplendent gold.
This was the guardian beast of the 60th floor, the Gold Gluttonous Beast.
"Leave the toll and I'll let you pass."
When the Gold Gluttonous Beast saw Mu Yun, it shouted loudly.
This line sounded very familiar. It was exactly the same as the Silver Gluttonous Beast's.
Mu Yun smiled bitterly. He could still force his way through to deal with the Silver Gluttonous Beast, but it was irrational to force his way through to deal with the Gold Gluttonous Beast. He would be at a disadvantage. He still had to conserve his strength to break through the later levels.
"Alright."
Mu Yun shrugged, took out the Starburst Airflow Slash scroll, and threw it to the Gold Gluttonous Beast.
"It's the Little Saint Art. Not bad, not bad. You can pass."
The Gold Gluttonous Beast kept the scroll and then obediently made way. It did not obstruct Mu Yun anymore.
Mu Yun remained calm and continued to walk up. In any case, as long as he snatched the Heavenly Poison Ancient Pagoda, he could take back all the things he had given away.
He continued to climb up. Fortunately, he did not need to pay the toll for the next levels. He only needed to force his way through. If he passed, he would be rewarded handsomely.
However, the further he went, the stronger the guardian beasts became.
Half a month later, Mu Yun climbed to the 66th floor. This was already the highest record.
The current Mu Yun was in a very good state. He had benefited greatly from constantly climbing the pagoda and fighting. He felt that he was very close to the Saint's Great Dao. He was just a little bit away from advancing to the Saint Realm.
Such a fast advancement speed could only be described as terrifying.
One had to know that it had not been long since Mu Yun advanced to the Saint Realm. Now, he had vaguely glimpsed the threshold of the Saint's Great Dao. He was just a little bit away from stepping into the Saint Realm.
Such a fast cultivation speed naturally benefited from the Saint Art. If he cultivated the Saint Art, he could immediately become a Saint within a hundred years.
Moreover, besides the Xuantian Rising Dragon Slash, Mu Yun also cultivated an ancient Saint Art, the Seven Tribulations Dragon Slaying Art. With the help of the Saint Art, he was getting closer and closer to the Saint's Great Dao.
Moreover, during this period of climbing the pagoda, he had constantly tempered his body and mind, greatly improving his cultivation. Now, he was just a little bit away from the Saint Realm. He only needed an opportunity to break through.
Now, he was facing the guardian beast of the 66th floor, the Sky-devouring Earthworm.
This Sky-devouring Earthworm looked a little disgusting. Its body was covered in sticky liquid, and its body was quite huge, like a giant python.
Mu Yun did not say anything and directly charged forward. He had passed so many levels. How could he not pass this level?
When the battle began, Mu Yun easily cut the Sky-devouring Earthworm into several pieces. However, the Sky-devouring Earthworm did not die. It was still as vigorous as before. The body that was cut off immediately came back to life and became a new earthworm.
Mu Yun waved his sword and slashed repeatedly, cutting the Sky-devouring Earthworm into hundreds of pieces. The result of this was that the room was filled with hundreds of earthworms.
Mu Yun was stunned. He did not expect the Sky-devouring Earthworm to be able to split. No matter how he cut it, he could not kill it.
He composed himself and used the Seven Tribulations Dragon Slaying Art. The first tribulation, Black Dragon Hurricane!
The monstrous hurricane swept past. The Sky-devouring Earthworm was minced into tens of millions of pieces of meat, but it still did not die. Moreover, it caused serious consequences. Tens of millions of earthworms crawled in the room and piled up to the ceiling.
Mu Yun's body was completely submerged. So many earthworms were too disgusting.
These earthworms did not attack him. Instead, they devoured each other. The number of earthworms continued to decrease. In the end, there were only a few hundred left in the room. Each of them was as thick as a water snake. They crawled everywhere and did not care about Mu Yun.
Mu Yun was about to break down. This Sky-devouring Earthworm could split infinitely. How could he fight it?
Mu Yun wanted to discuss with Gui Yi, but Gui Yi was devouring the Five Dragon Wheel and did not have the time to care about him. He could only wait for the others to come up.
However, he arranged for Bai Chen to block the way, delaying a lot of time. It was not until half a month later that people came up one after another.
Yang Dingtian, Lin Jueyue, Li Aoxue, Long Yan, Tai Manzi, and Duan Tianya had all arrived.
Tai Manzi's injuries had already recovered, but after the setbacks from before, he no longer dared to be arrogant. He lowered his head and hid behind Long Yan.
"This Sky-devouring Earthworm can split infinitely. It is simply immortal. Which one of you can deal with it?"
Long Yan looked around, but no one said anything.
"Since no one can do anything, I think it's better to cooperate."
Long Yan leaned on his walking stick and said with a smile, "There is strength in numbers. Let's work together and clear the later stages."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Dingtian raised an objection. "Then what should we do in the end? Who will the Heavenly Poison Ancient Pagoda belong to?"
Long Yan said, "That's easy. In the end, we will fight to determine the winner. Whoever wins, the Heavenly Poison Ancient Pagoda will belong to them. As for the rewards obtained along the way, they will be evenly distributed."
Hearing Long Yan's words, everyone nodded in agreement. This was naturally the best method at present because it was absolutely impossible to clear the stage with just one person's strength.
The matter was settled. Everyone temporarily put aside their grudges and worked together.
This was a rare situation. People from different races and different factions actually worked together for the same goal.
However, Mu Yun knew that this cooperative relationship was very fragile. It would definitely not be able to withstand the test. There might be conflicts before they could even wait until the final stage.
However, it seemed that the effect of the cooperation was still very good. Under everyone's joint efforts, the Sky-devouring Earthworm was completely destroyed before it could split and regenerate.
The rewards on this level were evenly distributed. They all looked very polite and no one quarreled.
The strength of a joint effort was very powerful. Mu Yun and the others' battle to climb the pagoda suddenly became much easier. They rushed all the way to the 90th level as if they were chopping melons and vegetables.
The 90th level was already a height that no one dared to imagine in the past. However, with their joint efforts, it was like a hot knife through butter. They successfully cleared the 90th level.
The reward on the 90th level looked very ordinary. It was an accessory. To be precise, it was a jade pendant.
This jade pendant did not have any light and was even covered with a layer of gray and decaying aura. There was a strange beast carved on the jade pendant. This beast was the Necrophagous Beast.
If there were Necrophagous Beasts here, they might be so excited that they would cry. This was because this jade pendant was the accessory of the Necrophagous Beast's ancestor, the Necrophagous Jade Pendant.
"The Necrophagous Jade Pendant! It's one of the Seven Great Accessories of the Three Elements Realm. Oh my god, why is the Necrophagous Jade Pendant here? "
Yang Dingtian immediately exclaimed when he saw the Necrophagous Jade Pendant.
He was a disciple of the Jiuding Trading and was very knowledgeable. He recognized at a glance that this was the Necrophagous Jade Pendant.
In the Three Elements Realm, there were Seven Great Accessories that belonged to the ancestors of the Seven Great Clans. After the ancient war, the Seven Great Accessories went missing and no one knew where they went.
