Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, the first level of the sword tomb was unusually peaceful.
The martial artists of the ancient pagoda and Nine Poison Valley were all in their own independent spaces. They had no intention of going out at all.
Even Ke Xiaodu, who usually liked to wander around, did not leave Nine Poison Valley's territory.
The martial artists of the ancient pagoda were all cultivating. They did not slack off at all.
On the second level of the ancient pagoda.
All of a sudden, a surge of energy burst forth.
Boom! The explosion shook the entire ancient pagoda.
The self-defense restriction within the ancient pagoda was automatically activated. The explosion did not spread outside the ancient pagoda.
"What's going on?"
"What's going on?
Did someone break into the ancient pagoda again?
Damn it, when Xue Tu impersonated Elder Bai, he set up a teleportation formation. We found and destroyed it long ago.
Did someone slip through the net? "
The martial artists of the ancient pagoda were all awakened from their meditative states. They went into alert mode.
Whoosh! Whoosh! The elders had already turned into shadows and rushed to the second level of the ancient pagoda.
As soon as they reached the second level, they heard a burst of wild laughter coming from the secret room.
"Hahaha, so what if I've been unconscious for a hundred thousand years?
Once I wake up, my cultivation progress is still incomparable to that of a Complete Perfection Realm martial artist.
Young hero Ke, Ke Jiuji, you two pieces of trash. Come out together if you can.
If you can't, haha, you'll be defeated by me in the end! Hahaha … "The pagoda master's laughter became louder and louder. It was as if he wanted everyone in the ancient pagoda to hear him.
Elder Fenglei, Li Wuyu, and the others stood at the door of the secret room and looked at each other.
Had the pagoda master lost his mind?
Or had he gone mad from his cultivation?
Otherwise, why would he laugh so harshly and say such arrogant words?
Young hero Ke and Ke Jiuji shared the same soul. Of course, they could not appear together.
However, any one of them was slightly stronger than the pagoda master a hundred thousand years ago.
If Ke Jiuji used poison, the pagoda master would be restrained, and the gap between them would be even greater.
If the Pagoda Master hadn't fainted and had been cultivating for the past hundred thousand years, it would have been fine. He might have been able to close the gap between the two of them.
But how long had it been since the Pagoda Master awakened?
He actually started dreaming about punching Young Hero Ke and kicking Ke Jiuji?
Could it be that there was something wrong with his mind?
Dong dong dong! Several elders knocked on the door of the secret room with worried expressions.
Li Wuyu clenched his fists, and energy flowed on his fists. He was ready to rush in if no one responded! Unexpectedly, before the sound of knocking could fade away, the door to the secret chamber opened.
The Tower Master had his hands behind his back and his head held high. He stood inside the door as if he had been waiting there for a long time.
"Ah, why are you all here?
All I did was end my seclusion and my strength increased greatly. I made a little noise, that's all. You were downstairs, yet you all noticed it?
Originally, I wanted to leave seclusion quietly and keep a low profile.
Forget it, forget it. Since you all know, then I have nothing to hide. "
The Pagoda Master looked at the elders in front of him with a shocked expression.
The faces of Elder Zephyr, Li Wuyu, and the others twitched visibly.
A little noise?
Leave seclusion quietly?
Keep a low profile?
Is that what you really think, Pagoda Master?
Such a big noise. The entire ancient tower was shaking. It was so exaggerated that it was as if an enemy had invaded. How could that be called keeping a low profile?
If that was called keeping a low profile, then there was probably nothing in the world that could be high-profile.
After criticizing in their hearts for a while, the elders finally sized up the Pagoda Master carefully.
After sizing him up, they were all shocked.
The energy aura on the Pagoda Master was obviously more condensed, more round, and more mysterious than before.
He just stood there quietly, as if he had become one with the space. He was terrifyingly perfect.
If he changed himself into a stone at this moment, then probably everyone would think that he was a real stone.
Even a peak-stage expert would not be able to find out that he was actually a person if he did not attack him.
Not only that, when the Pagoda Master breathed and blinked, there was an indescribable rhythm that made people involuntarily want to follow his rhythm to breathe, blink, and do everything.
It was as if only the rhythm of his breathing and blinking were correct.
If one did not follow his rhythm to breathe and blink, it would be wrong. It would be going against the laws of heaven and earth, going against nature.
The elders all unknowingly widened their eyes, and their mouths opened so wide that a spirit egg could be stuffed in.
The Pagoda Master's strength had really increased! "First … first tribulation peak-stage!"
Li Wuyu's breathing became hurried.
The peak-stage was the last major realm in the cultivation realm of mortal martial artists.
After that, mortals would be completely reborn and become immortals, becoming true immortals! It was easy to imagine how difficult it was to cross the last major realm between mortals and immortals.
The peak-stage had a total of ten minor realms.
After a peak saint advanced, it was the most ordinary peak-stage.
After an ordinary peak-stage advanced a minor realm, it was the first tribulation peak-stage.
And so on, from one to nine. Nine was the extreme number.
The ninth tribulation peak-stage was the peak state of a peak-stage expert.
The Pagoda Master's current state gave people the feeling that he was at the first tribulation peak-stage! The Pagoda Master corrected him. "What first tribulation peak-stage expert?
How can I attract the Heavenly Tribulation here?
Without transcending the tribulation, I can't be called a true first tribulation peak-stage expert.
My soul quality has only increased by one minor realm and can be comparable to a first tribulation peak-stage expert. My martial dao attainments, concepts, and comprehension have also reached the first tribulation peak-stage expert … that's all. "
The few elders present had already forgotten to breathe.
The Pagoda Master's soul realm had already reached the first tribulation peak-stage expert?
His martial dao attainments, concepts, and comprehension had all reached the first tribulation peak-stage expert?
This was too exaggerated! How was this possible?
How did the Pagoda Master do it?
Everyone was still in shock. The Pagoda Master continued. "In other words, as long as I leave the sword tomb and return to the Seven Star Realm, I can attract the Heavenly Tribulation with a thought and easily pass it, becoming a true first tribulation peak-stage expert.
There wouldn't be any danger, and there wouldn't be any obstacles.
Now, in terms of strength, I'm still a little weaker than a first tribulation peak-stage expert.
When I go all out, I can barely fight a first tribulation peak-stage expert until both sides are injured.
Of course, I'm heavily injured, and he's only lightly injured.
But he can forget about taking my life. It's easy for me to escape.
Sigh, embarrassing, really embarrassing. I actually have to escape when encountering a first tribulation peak-stage expert. It's too embarrassing. "
The Pagoda Master explained in detail, and the last few words "embarrassing" were emphasized.
It was as if this was really a very embarrassing thing.
Elder Zephyr Thunder, Li Wuyu, and the others sucked in a few breaths of cold air at first. When they reacted, they rolled their eyes.
You're clearly showing off, blatantly showing off! Where did you find it embarrassing at all?
After rolling their eyes, the elders were pleasantly surprised.
With the Pagoda Master's current strength, wouldn't Young Hero Ke, who disdained to use poison, be no match for him at all?
Even if he transformed into Ke Jiuji and used poison, the Pagoda Master's chances of winning were probably more than 70%, right?
The ancient pagoda lineage was about to make a comeback! There was hope to enter the third level of the sword tomb and find the way out! "Congratulations, Pagoda Master!"
"Congratulations, Pagoda Master!"
"Such a big event must be celebrated!"
The elders were overjoyed and began to compliment the Pagoda Master.
"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile, be reserved, hahaha …" The Pagoda Master laughed loudly, not reserved at all.
"Pagoda Master, how did you do it?
This doesn't make sense at all. Your realm has been stagnant for hundreds of thousands of years since you entered the sword tomb, right?
How did you suddenly become a quasi-first tribulation peak-stage expert after being unconscious for a hundred thousand years and only being in seclusion for twenty days after waking up?
Could it be that you obtained some great opportunity from the dead Hundred Annihilation? "
The Pagoda Master snorted disdainfully.
"What great opportunity did Hundred Annihilation obtain?
Don't mention him. Whenever he is mentioned, I vaguely feel uneasy in my heart.
It's strange that a dead person can make me feel uneasy.
I'm digressing. I'm not afraid to tell you that my advancement has something to do with Gu Xuan.
Of course, although he did make some small contributions, the most important thing is of course still me! "
The elders were very surprised.
The Pagoda Master's ability to increase was actually related to Gu Xuan?
Moreover, it seemed that the relationship was not small! They understood the Pagoda Master. If Gu Xuan's contribution was not great, the Pagoda Master would not even mention it. Only when the contribution was great would the Pagoda Master praise it as "small contributions".
"Eh?
Right, where's Gu Xuan?
I've come out of seclusion and my strength has increased greatly, but he didn't come to congratulate me?
How preposterous. I'll go find him now and let him broaden his horizons. I'll let him … "Before the Pagoda Master finished speaking, his expression changed.
An extremely pure and majestic soul power suddenly erupted from within the ancient pagoda!
