Chapter 648
The seal on the Secret Realm Tower has loosened!
I intend to impart the complete "Nine Revolutions Profound Technique" to your Qilin clan to help you improve your strength, but you must agree to two conditions.
Upon hearing this, Tu Siwen was both surprised and delighted, and quickly said, "Great One, please speak! Let alone two conditions, even if there were ten conditions, my Qilin Clan would agree!"
Jiang Wang said, "First, the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique must not be passed on to outsiders; it is only for members of the Qilin Clan to cultivate. Second, the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique must not be used to commit evil deeds or oppress other races."
I promise you!
Tu Siwen said without hesitation, "On behalf of the Qilin Clan, I swear that I will abide by these two conditions. If I break them, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
Jiang Wang nodded and said, "Okay."
"In that case, I will impart the complete Nine Revolutions Profound Technique to you."
He raised his hand and waved, a golden light shooting out from his fingertip and merging into Tu Siwen's mind. At the same time, countless cultivation techniques and incantations were also transmitted into the minds of the Qilin clan elders and Tu Xiaonai present.
Everyone closed their eyes, carefully comprehending the incantations of the cultivation technique in their minds, their faces showing expressions of shock and excitement.
The complete Nine Revolutions Profound Technique is far more profound than the incomplete version they had previously practiced. It not only includes methods for physical training but also methods for circulating Primordial Chaos Power and the secrets to integrating the physical body with the laws.
A moment later, everyone opened their eyes, their eyes gleaming with a sharp light.
Tu Siwen bowed deeply to Jiang Wang and said gratefully, "Thank you for your great kindness! My Qilin clan will never forget this favor!"
"Great power, you are truly a benefactor to our Qilin clan!"
The other elders also spoke, their voices filled with gratitude.
Jiang Wang waved his hand and said, "Alright, the cultivation technique has been passed on to you. The rest is up to you to cultivate on your own."
By the way, I heard you have a secret tower here. Would you be willing to take me to see it?
He became somewhat interested in the secret tower that had captivated Tu Xiaonai so much.
Tu Siwen quickly replied, "Of course! Great Master, please follow me! The Secret Realm Tower is located at the northernmost end of the village. It is a treasure left over from ancient times, containing a rich aura of the Great Dao. Each level has a guardian, and only by passing the guardian's test can one enter the next level."
The group headed towards the north end of the village.
Along the way, the members of the Qilin clan bowed respectfully to Jiang Wang, their eyes filled with gratitude and awe.
They had already learned that Jiang Wang had not only saved them, but also taught the complete "Nine Revolutions Profound Technique" to the Qilin Clan, and they were already extremely grateful to Jiang Wang.
Before long, the group arrived at the northernmost part of the village.
A towering black ancient tower appeared before us. The tower had nine stories and its body was covered with mottled patterns, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. A rich aura of the Great Dao surrounded it, which made people feel awe involuntarily.
"Great power, this is the Secret Realm Tower."
Tu Siwen pointed to the ancient tower and said respectfully, "Each level of the Secret Realm Tower has different trials. The guardians of the first to third levels are all at the early stage of Quasi-Saint level. The guardian of the fourth level is a physical powerhouse at the early stage of Primordial Chaos level. The guardians of the fifth level and above have unfathomable cultivation. To this day, no one from our Qilin Clan has been able to pass the fifth level."
Jiang Wang looked up at the Secret Realm Tower, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
He could sense that the Secret Realm Tower contained a rich array of Great Dao Laws, and the patterns on the tower seemed to be related to the Great Dao Formations of ancient times.
"This secret realm tower is quite a treasure."
Jiang Wang muttered to himself.
Tu Xiaonai said, "Great Power, my previous goal was to pass through the fourth level and enter the Great Dao Secret Realm."
Now that I have the cultivation method you have taught me, I am confident that I can pass the fourth level within a hundred years.
Jiang Wang nodded and said, "Yes, cultivate diligently. You have good talent. As long as you practice hard, passing the fourth level will not be difficult."
He paused, then said, "I'd like to go in and see what secrets this Secret Realm Tower holds."
Tu Siwen quickly said, "If you wish to enter the Secret Realm Tower, I will open the gate for you."
However, the trials on each level of the Secret Realm Tower are extremely dangerous, so please be careful.
This danger is nothing to me.
Tu Siwen said no more, walked to the front of the Secret Realm Tower, formed a hand seal, and chanted incantations.
The primal power of the Qilin clan surged from his body and flowed into the gate of the Secret Realm Tower.
The gates of the Secret Realm Tower slowly opened, and a rich aura of the Great Dao rushed out, along with a powerful pressure emanating from within the tower.
"Great power, the gate to the Secret Realm Tower has been opened. You may enter now."
Tu Siwen said respectfully.
Jiang Wang nodded, and with a swift movement, stepped into the Secret Realm Tower.
After he entered the Secret Realm Tower, the gate slowly closed.
Looking at the closed gate, Tu Xiaonai said with envy in her eyes, "I wonder if the powerful beings can pass through the ninth level and uncover the ultimate mystery of the Secret Realm Tower."
Tu Siwen said, "The power of this great being is unfathomable; he will surely be able to pass the ninth level."
Let us wait here for the Great Power to appear.
At this moment, Jiang Wang had already entered the first level of the Secret Realm Tower.
The first floor is a large space, pitch black all around, with only a bright lamp in the center illuminating the surrounding area.
A phantom clad in armor appeared before Jiang Wang. This phantom was the guardian of the first level of the tower, with a cultivation level of the early Quasi-Saint stage, and exuded a sharp aura.
"Outsider, if you wish to pass the first level, you must first defeat me."
The tower guard's voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.
Jiang Wang looked at the tower guard, a calm smile on his face: "You?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he moved and appeared in front of the tower guard. He raised his hand and waved, sending an invisible force towards the tower guard.
The tower guard's expression changed, and he hurriedly used his cultivation to block, but he couldn't withstand Jiang Wang's attack at all. He was instantly smashed apart and disappeared in a wisp of green smoke.
Jiang Wang didn't linger and went straight to the second floor.
The guardians on the second floor were also at the early stage of Quasi-Saint level, and their strength was slightly greater than that of the guardians on the first floor. However, they were still no match for Jiang Wang and were easily defeated by him.
The third floor, the fourth floor... Jiang Wang fought his way through the levels, and the tower guardians became stronger and stronger, but none of them could withstand a single move from him.
He was incredibly fast, and in a short time, he reached the eighth floor.
The space on the eighth floor is much larger than the previous floors, and it is filled with Dao patterns, exuding a rich primordial power.
A man clad in golden armor appeared before Jiang Wang. He was tall and imposing, with a cold and stern face, and exuded the aura of a late-stage Hunyuan realm cultivator. He was the guardian of the eighth floor.
"I never expected that someone could actually make it to the eighth floor."
The tower guard's voice carried a hint of surprise as his gaze fell upon Jiang Wang. "Your cultivation is very strong, even stronger than I imagined."
Jiang Wang said, "Enough with the nonsense, let's make our move."
A fighting spirit flashed in the tower guard's eyes. Primordial energy surged around him, and his golden armor emitted a dazzling light. He raised his hand and waved it, and a golden longsword appeared in his hand. The sword was engraved with intricate Dao patterns and carried a world-destroying power as it stabbed towards Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang remained calm, neither dodging nor avoiding, and gently gripped the golden longsword. With a crisp "crack," the golden longsword was instantly snapped in his grasp, and the tower guardian was also shaken back by a tremendous force, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"what?!"
The tower guard was shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief.
His cultivation level was at the late Quasi-Saint stage, and the longsword in his hand was formed from the condensation of the Great Dao, possessing boundless power. Yet, it was easily broken by the opponent.
Jiang Wang looked at the tower guard and said, "Your strength is not bad."
However, that's still not enough.
He raised his hand and waved, and a surge of primordial energy flowed into the tower guard's body, repairing his injuries.
Tell me, what's on the ninth floor?
The tower guardian felt his injuries healing rapidly, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes, and said, "The ninth floor is the top floor of the Secret Realm Tower, where an ancient ferocious beast named Taotie is sealed."
The Taotie is incredibly powerful, with a cultivation level at the peak of Quasi-Saint, and is a ferocious creature that has existed since ancient times.
Furthermore, the ninth level also contains a Great Dao inheritance; if one can defeat the Taotie, one can obtain this inheritance.
Jiang Wang nodded and said, "I see."
Thank you for letting me know.
He didn't linger and headed straight for the ninth floor.
The ninth floor was dimly lit, and the air was filled with a strong, malevolent aura that sent chills down one's spine.
A massive, ferocious beast appeared before Jiang Wang. It was tiger-like in shape, with a large head and a small body. Its mouth was full of sharp fangs, and its eyes were like blood-red lanterns. It exuded the aura of a quasi-saint at the peak of his power. It was the ancient ferocious beast Taotie.
Upon seeing Jiang Wang, the Taotie's eyes flashed with greed and killing intent. It let out a deafening roar and pounced on Jiang Wang.
It was incredibly fast, and its mouth emitted a power that could devour everything, distorting the surrounding space.
Jiang Wang remained calm, raised his hand, and unleashed an invisible force that blocked the Taotie's attack.
"Taotie, how have you been?"
Jiang Wang said in a calm tone.
He had a brief encounter with Taotie in ancient times, but at that time Taotie was just a young beast. He never expected that it would grow to the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm.
The Taotie froze, stopped its attack, and looked at Jiang Wang in confusion: "You...who are you? Why do you seem so familiar?"
It could sense that the white-clad man before it possessed an aura that inspired awe, an aura it seemed to have sensed long, long ago.
Jiang Wang laughed and said, "In ancient times, at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, I once saved a young beast that was being chased. That was you."
Taotie thought carefully for a moment, then a look of sudden realization flashed in its eyes: "It's you! My benefactor!"
It quickly withdrew its fierce aura, lowered its head to Jiang Wang, and became extremely respectful.
In ancient times, it was indeed being hunted down by its enemies, but a man in white came to its rescue and gave it a healing pill.
It always remembered this kindness, but it never expected to meet its benefactor again here.
Jiang Wang nodded and said, "I didn't expect you to still remember me."
How did you end up sealed here?
Taotie sighed and said, "In ancient times, I was greedy and devoured many cultivators, which violated the rules of the Great Dao. I was sealed here by a powerful Dao cultivator and made to guard the ninth level of the Secret Realm Tower. The seal will be lifted only when someone can defeat me or gain my approval."
It paused for a moment, then said, "Benefactor, have you come here today to obtain the Great Dao inheritance of the ninth level? If so, I will open the inheritance for you right now."
Jiang Wang said, "I don't care about the inheritance. I just want to see the ultimate secret of this Secret Realm Tower."
By the way, do you know who built this secret tower?
Taotie shook his head and said, "I don't know."
The Secret Realm Tower already existed when I was sealed here.
However, I can sense that the Secret Realm Tower contains a rich source of the Great Dao's essence, meaning the builder's cultivation must be extremely terrifying, far surpassing the peak of Quasi-Saint.
Jiang Wang nodded, thinking to himself, "It seems this Secret Realm Tower is no ordinary place."
Perhaps it's related to the powerful Dao cultivators of ancient times.
His gaze swept across the space of the ninth floor and he found a stone platform in the corner. On the platform was a jade box, which exuded a strong aura of the Great Dao. Presumably, it contained the so-called Great Dao inheritance.
“My benefactor, the Great Dao inheritance is inside that jade box. Please take it.”
"That's what Taotie said."
Jiang Wang walked to the stone platform and opened the jade box.
Inside the jade box was a golden jade slip, inscribed with intricate Daoist patterns.
He picked up the jade slip, infused it with his divine sense, and carefully comprehended its contents.
This Great Dao inheritance is a legacy about the laws of space, which is extremely profound. If one can comprehend it thoroughly, one can control the power of space and travel between heaven and earth.
"A good legacy."
Jiang Wang nodded in satisfaction.
Although he had already comprehended the laws of space, this inheritance contained many insights he had not previously considered, which were of some help to his cultivation improvement.
Just then, the Secret Realm Tower suddenly trembled violently, the Dao patterns around it began to flicker, and a powerful Dao force erupted from within the tower.
Taotie's expression changed, and he said, "Not good! The seal on the Secret Realm Tower has loosened! It's probably because you, my benefactor, received the Great Dao inheritance and triggered the restrictions of the Secret Realm Tower!"
Jiang Wang frowned and said, "Oh? Is that so?"
He could sense a powerful force surging beneath the Secret Realm Tower, as if something was about to break free of the tower.
“My benefactor, a ferocious beast even more powerful than me is sealed beneath the Secret Realm Tower, called the Chaos Beast.”
If it breaks free from its seal, it will surely bring calamity to the world!
Taotie said anxiously, "In ancient times, the Chaos Beast almost destroyed the entire Three Realms. It was only through the joint efforts of several powerful Dao experts that it was sealed beneath the Secret Realm Tower, and the power of the Secret Realm Tower was used to suppress it."
Now that the seal on the Secret Realm Tower is loosening, the Chaos Beast will likely break free soon!
He had also heard of the Chaos Beast, one of the most powerful ferocious creatures in ancient times, whose cultivation far surpassed the peak of Quasi-Saint and was close to the Great Dao realm.
If it were to break free from its seal, it would indeed bring immense disaster to the Three Realms.
"It seems I need to reinforce the seal as soon as possible."
Jiang Wang said firmly.
Although he wasn't a savior, he couldn't just stand by and watch the chaotic beast break free and slaughter all living beings in the three realms. (End of Chapter)
