True Martial World - Chapter 486: Red Lotus

After hesitating for a while, Yi Yun moved while keeping his body close to the ground. With the trees and the vegetation on the ground acting as concealment, he quickly approached the tall mountain.

Riches were where danger laid. He naturally wanted to take a look at what the opportunity in the second level of the God Advent Tower was.

Every level of the God Advent Tower was meticulously designed by the ancient Great Empress. Every cultivator who entered it would face a world that corresponded to themselves. They were left to wander in it, but as to what depth they could reach, it all depended on themselves. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

This test could be said to be a test of every cultivator's potential and ability to grow, pushed to the limits.

"Xiao— Xiao—"

At that moment, there were more and more flying desolate beasts gathering in the sky. These desolate beasts flew over from all directions and gathered around the mountain’s peak.

The air flow caused by the flapping of their wings was like a tiny tornado. The sound it emitted caused pain in Yi Yun's ears.

The closer Yi Yun got, the more careful he became. His entire presence, including his breathing, had been repressed.

The desolate beasts in the sky looked special. They had mouths like sharp sabers and these mouths were filled with sharp teeths, their eyes were also blood-red.They were shocking to behold.

This tall mountain was probably the place where they rested.

This made Yi Yun feel odd. The valley that flowed with pure Yang lava, containing fiery Fusang trees, and the strange birds in the air, really gave one the feeling of the Tang Valley, Fusang and the Golden Crow.

As Yi Yun was pondering upon this, a strange bird in the air suddenly let out a ear-piercing cry as it opened its sharp beak and charged downwards!

Yi Yun's pupils constricted and, subconsciously, he dodged behind a large tree. The strange bird's goal was clearly not Yi Yun. When it charged into the woods, the tall trees seemed to be hit by a tornado as they began to vigorously shake. Many tree branches broke as the trees split in two.

In just a few seconds, the strange bird's figure appeared once again.

Pu! Pu!

It flapped its wings to return back to the crowd of birds. And in its claws was a huge python. This python was about 20-30 meters long. Its body was blood-red in color and its body emitted a thick fire-elemental Yuan Qi, but now, it had been torn in two by the strange bird.

The snake's blood splattered as the strange bird carried the heavy python's corpse as it flew towards the tall mountain’s peak.

It was not only that single strange bird, several strange birds in the air had also caught their prey. Their claws were as thick as the arm span of an adult. Two of these claws could easily capture an elephant.

After they caught their prey, they did not eat them, instead they brought their prey back to their lair.

Were these strange birds preparing for a celebratory feast?

Yi Yun suddenly had such a thought. Without any hesitation, he followed them to the highest mountain’s peak. Finally, Yi Yun saw that all the strange birds had landed on one of the cliffs of the mountain peak.

The lava valley that meandered began from that cliff and flowed straight down. It felt like this cliff was the source of the lava in the valley.

The closer Yi Yun got to the cliff, the more he felt the rich pure Yang Yuan Qi. The temperature here was as high as a furnace.

After leaping across some rocks that were burned red from the flames, Yi Yun saw a white-colored lake.

This lake did not contain water, it contained burning hot lava.

This lava did not bubble and was instead very calm. However, this calmness made him become filled with apprehension. It was hard to believe how high the temperature of the lava was.

Above the lava lakewas a protruding piece of rock. This rock was extremely magical. It was soaked in the pure Yang lava, yet, it did not melt at all.

There was a total of over twenty rocks that formed a circle. In the middle of these rocks, Yi Yun saw a red lotus in the hot lava!

This red lotus had about seven to eight thin tubers. They reached out from the lava and had four to five round leaves that looked like large umbrellas. In the middle of these leaves, Yi Yun saw a red lotus flower and a seedpod. In the seedpod were some crystalline objects, the lotus seed.

"What is that?"

Yi Yun held his breath. For a red lotus to take root and grow in hot lava, that had a temperature that was hard to estimate, it grew by absorbing pure Yang energy.

Without a doubt, this was a treasure.

The treasure Yi Yun previously sensed using his Purple Crystal's energy vision was this red lotus growing in the lava.

"It has already produced lotus seeds. The lotus seed is the fruit of the red lotus, so it might be that the red lotus is already ripe for picking..."

Such a treasure growing in pure Yang lava was by no doubt a huge opportunity for Yi Yun. Once he ate it, his cultivation level should increase by leaps and bounds, and it could even result in his pure Yang body reaching a harmonious perfection.

However, the problem was, how was he going to obtain it?

Yi Yun frowned slightly. Around the lava lake, there were no objects that could conceal him. If he were to rush out to pick the lotus seed, he would definitely alarm those strange birds.

Yi Yun had never seen these birds before, but from his energy vision, Yi Yun could clearly tell that they were powerful. It was unlikely that he would be able to handle one, what’s more a group of them!

Besides, they were adept at flying and they were very fast. Yi Yun might not be able to escape fast enough.

Yi Yun looked up and saw four to five of the strange birds perched on the cliff in a high spot. Their eyes were as sharp as eagles as their gazes were locked onto the vicinity of the lava lake.

Very clearly, these strange birds were guards, and they were specifically in charge of being on watch.

With alert strange birds present, it was impossible to for Yi Yun to take advantage of the strange birds' resting or hunting to pluck the lotus seed.

"These strange birds sure are careful."

Yi Yun knew that, during the growth of treasures, the treasures were usually accompanied by terrifying desolate beasts who guarded them closely. When these desolate beasts discovered the treasure, they would take it for their own. When the treasure matured, they would enjoy it.

The more precious the treasure, the stronger the desolate beasts guarding it would be. Weak desolate beasts could never be capable at protecting it.

The feeling of not being able to obtain the treasure in front of him was an excruciating feeling.

Yi Yun hid behind a rock as he observed and waited.

He saw that, not far from the lava lake, there were a bunch of strange birds gathering together.

They had piled up the prey that they previously captured together and were now surrounding the prey in a circle.

They extended their 20-30 meter wide wings and prostrated themselves. Their wings overlapped each other, as if they were undergoing some form of ritual.

And at that moment, there was a sharp cry. Yi Yun looked over at the source of the noise and saw a huge cave in the hundred meter tall cliff. There were a bunch of protruded rocks around the cave, and rocks were covered in various desolate beast bones.

A bird's nest?

Yi Yun knew that birds of prey, like eagles, liked to create their nests on cliffs. It seems like these strange birds have a similar behavior, but their nest was just too big. The entrance to the cave alone was about 20-30 meters wide.

At that moment, a strange bird flew out from the cave. Yi Yun felt his heart sink as he saw this strange bird!

True Martial World - Chapter 485: Fusang Desolate Valley

After he finished reading the first few core techniques of the "Myriad Beast Totem", what was most important for Yi Yun was that he learned the method to evolving his Golden Crow Totem.

With the Purple Crystal Origins, it was not a distant objective.

The Purple Crystal activated and according to the description in the "Myriad Beast Totem", Yi Yun extracted the Power of Desolates from the metal-winged eagle. Soon, a fist-sized beast mark appeared. It was a lively-looking little beast and its body emitted rich pure Yang energy as it quickly flew into Yi Yun's dantian.

The metal-winged eagle did not have any obvious nomological elemental properties. Its Yuan Qi was not as effective as pure Yang Yuan Qi to Yi Yun, but the effects were not that different.

Feeling his "Myriad Beast Totem" improve a tiny bit and his pure Yang body and Aspect Totem also obtaining a tiny bit of nourishment, a look of satisfaction appeared on Yi Yun's face.

The complete version of the "Myriad Beast Totem" was not limited to one Totem form. One could cultivate to the point of several Totems. The "Myriad Beast Totem" recorded that to cultivate this mystic technique, one had to kill ten thousand primordial strains so as to condense an Aspect Totem.

The "Ten Thousand" in here was just a fake number. It wasn't really ten thousand. As to how many were needed, it depended on the situation.

If one killed a primordial true spirit, it was equivalent to more than ten or sometimes, dozens of primordial strains.

And primordial true spirits were not the highest ranked desolate beasts. There were desolate beasts that were stronger than primordial true spirits, but that was a realm that Yi Yun could not even imagine.

In fact, even if a warrior, who cultivated the "Myriad Beast Totem", had the ability to kill primordial true spirits, he might not be able to condense a beast mark. Killing many desolate beasts, but not being able to condense the beast mark was also useless.

Of course, Yi Yun did not need to consider such a situation. All he needed to do was to kill a sufficient number of powerful desolate beasts. As for condensing the beast mark, he had the Purple Crystal.

"I wonder what power would result when I fully master the 'Myriad Beast Totem', and I wonder how many Aspect Totems I can condense… "

Whether the "Myriad Beast Totem" was cultivated properly was mainly based on the number of Aspect Totems.

According to the jade scroll, cultivating three or four Aspect Totems was considered excellent, while five to six Aspect Totems was a result of a proud child of heaven. Seven to eight Aspect Totems would be the results of a peerless Great Emperor.

As for having even greater numbers the higher one went, the jade scroll did not indicate it. It only said that the "Myriad Beast Totem" had unlimited potential.

The problem was that this technique was difficult to learn and difficult to master, but it was a Totem mystic technique with broad prospects.

After absorbing the metal-winged eagle's beast mark, Yi Yun proceeded around the desolate lands at a fast pace. He held the Tai Cang Bow, and he tried his best to find pure Yang desolate beasts and absorbed their beast marks.

With the Purple Crystal, Yi Yun was fast and accurate at finding desolate beasts.

Desolate beasts were extremely inclined to attack. Once they discovered Yi Yun, they would move to kill him. This world's desolate beast species were very different to the desolate beast species in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. Using his energy vision, Yi Yun roughly estimated the strength of the desolate beast, so as to prevent himself from tripping up.

After covering quite a distance in the desolate lands, a magnificent and primitive mountain appeared in front of Yi Yun. This large mountain had thick foliage and it was luxuriantly green. Every tree was extremely large and they pierced through the clouds. The circumference of the each trunk was probably the combined arm span of tens of people.

Just watching the mountain from outside, Yi Yun could feel the extremely pure Yuan Qi fluctuations inside. There was probably a very strong existence hiding inside.

Yi Yun did not know how powerful the desolate beasts that were in the second level of the God Advent Tower were. Since it was just the second level, it should not have any sure-death dangers, right?

These days, Yi Yun slowly noticed that the second level of the God Advent Tower was not endless. It had a boundary, and this mountain in front of him seemed to be the center of the second level's world.

After a slight dilemma, Yi Yun leaped up and flew into the large mountain.

After going over the mountain's peak, Yi Yun entered a valley.

This valley seemed to be a huge crack in the ground. Under the crack, hot air rose. Yi Yun looked down and he could faintly see the churning lava.

What was strange was that the lava was not dark red in color, but it was close to a shimmering white. It looked like molten silver.

"Oh? This valley… " Yi Yun was surprised. He could feel that the lava was not ordinary. What it emitted was not fire-elemental Yuan Qi, it was extremely thick and rich pure Yang Yuan Qi.

It felt like the lava had flowed down from the Sun!

Yi Yun knew that the Sun itself was liquid in nature. Its core was extremely hot, and if that was the case, it would be too shocking.

"I cultivate in the pure Yang laws, and I meet a pure Yang Yuan Qi lava river. This is too much to be a coincidence."

Yi Yun guessed that it was specifically because he had cultivated in pure Yang laws that he encountered an extremely rich pure Yang energy place in the second level of the God Advent Tower.

The Great Empress mystic realm was comprehensive. The scenes encountered were different and depended on the person. There were countless amounts of opportunities. The point was whether one could discover it.

Yi Yun shuttled through the valley as he activated the Purple Crystal to freely absorb the pure Yang energy. At the same time, he searched for desolate beasts to kill. Most of the desolate beasts here were pure Yang desolate beasts, so it suited Yi Yun well.

At that moment, Yi Yun suddenly heard a sharp bird cry in the air.

With a flash of his body, he appeared below a large tree as he looked up.

He was taken aback with this look.

In the clouds, a group of flying desolate beasts were flapping their hundred foot long wings that were made of muscle. As they moved downwards, just the wind stirred up by them would prevent anyone from standing properly. The visual impact was extremely terrifying.

When these desolate beasts charged downwards, they circled around a mountain peak as if they were eager for action.

"What's the matter?" Yi Yun leaned his body close to the tree and he controlled his breathing so that he could not be discovered by those desolate beasts.

He could feel that the desolate beasts were extraordinarily powerful.

He carefully stretched his neck out and looked at the spot the desolate beasts were circling.

That was the tallest mountain peak of the mountain. The source of the Yang energy lava came from this mountain peak. At the top of the mountain peak, there were a lot of rugged ancient trees. These ancient trees were extremely large and tall. They seemed to be in symbiotic relations as their tree branches were intertwined, but they had very few leaves. The tree bark was red like fire and each of them looked like the legendary Fusang divine tree.

Sunrise from Tang Valley, Roaming across the World

Ten Suns from Fusang, Who Masters Pure Yang!

When Yi Yun was cultivating the "Tai Ah Sacred Technique", there was such a general principle.

Legends said that the Fusang tree grew where the Sun rose.

It was unknown in how many tens of thousands of years that people had not stepped foot on this mountain.

Upon thinking about this, Yi Yun looked at the flying desolate beasts in the air again. He suddenly discovered that the desolate beasts actually looked like Golden Crows!

The only difference was that they did not have the feathers of Golden Crows, and they looked more ferocious.

Realizing this, Yi Yun suddenly had a thought. This place…

Yi Yun seemed to figure out something as he opened his energy vision and everything around him entered his eyes.

Faintly, Yi Yun felt that in the depths of the mountain peak, there was a tremendous energy fluctuation. The pure Yang energy that came out in waves seemed to come from that energy source.

Could it be… a treasure!?

Yi Yun held his breath.

Yes! The first level of the God Advent Tower had image disk arrays! The third level had cultivation technique manuals!

Then what did the second level of the God Advent Tower have?

Originally, Yi Yun thought that the second level of the God Advent Tower was just a training ground. By finding any cultivation manuals or image disk arrays in the third or first level, one could come to the second level of the God Advent Tower to cultivate.

One could fight the desolate beasts here to train oneself and increase one's strength.

He had never thought that the second level of the God Advent Tower contained such a huge opportunity. And to find it, it was a test of one's observational skills and fated luck!

"I see… If not for finding the 'Myriad Beast Totem' which required me to return to the second level for training, I might have missed out on this opportunity!"

At that moment, Yi Yun was reflecting on the layout of the ancient Great Empress’ realm. Typical cultivators would be in a race against time when they entered the God Advent Tower. They wanted to increase their own strength in the shortest possible time. Who would think of searching the entire second level of the God Advent Tower while cultivating, especially when this world was so vast?

Besides, even if they searched, they might not find anything.

This not only depended on a cultivator's searching ability and judgment, it also depended on fated luck! And these two points were key in undergoing dangers in a mystic realm.

True Martial World - Chapter 484: Golden Crow Sun Shift

Lin Xintong's naturally terminated meridians were like a dead knot in her life. They had taken root in Lin Xintong's body, entrenched in every muscle. Usually, it would be hidden, but once it was nourished, it would grow and engulf Lin Xintong's vitality.

Now, with the frost Qi constantly entering Lin Xintong's body, she felt colder and colder. As for her natural Yin Meridians, they were like weeds that had been nourished by the rain, as they grew crazily.

Lin Xintong's footsteps immediately slowed down.

Cold, the biting cold reached deep into her bones, and it reached her bone marrow.

She shrunk her thin body and looked up. The icy plains were so vast they seemed to have no end.

She recalled the test of the mental demons. The dreams that repeated themselves seemed to never come to an end.

Other than the second dream in which she held hands with that youth to tour the world until she found a method to join her terminated meridians up and finally accomplished a great cultivation level that she had the age of the Sun and Moon, the other dreams were filled with endless death and repression.

Her "waking up" again and again was met with her realizing that she was still in a dream. The dream realm was endless, preventing her from knowing when she was dreaming or awake.

That sense of despair was probably similar to what she was experiencing right now...

Behind Lin Xintong, high in the sky, there was a faint figure that was looking at her lonely figure on the icy plains.

Lin Xintong sensed the figure and she gently turned around. And at that moment, the figure dissipated in the wind.

Following that, a wispy female's voice echoed in Lin Xintong's ears, "These icy plains are like the terminated meridians in your body. If you only rely on your body's Yuan Qi, you will not be able to last till the end. However, if you were to burn your vitality, you can go even further, but you might die early. Have you thought it through?"

Lin Xintong's eyebrows trembled, "You are… ?"

The figure that had suddenly appeared in the wind was somewhat similar to the ancient Great Empress in the painting she saw on the third level of the God Advent Tower, however… there was something different...

This figure was not in a dream or in a painting. She really existed in this world.

She was the only other person amongst the cultivators Lin Xingtong had seen in the God Advent Tower.

"I am the God Advent Tower's Item Spirit."

The woman's cold voice transmitted through the wind.

"Item Spirit… " Lin Xintong understood. Yes, for such a divine item, it naturally had an Item Spirit. "If I pass through these icy plains, will I see the opportunity to join up my terminated meridians?"

"No!" The female voice said coldly, "But it can let you get closer to that step."

Just closer only?

Lin Xintong lightly sighed. Her white dress was like snow and it seemed to merge as one with the icy plains around her. Her black hair scattered downwards on her jade-like face. As she closed her eyes tightly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if they were pixies in the snow.

Closer? Then let me be closer to it!

Lin Xintong tightened her thin clothes. Enduring the stormy cold, she proceeded without hesitation.

The path of martial arts had no set paths. It was through a warrior's strong determination to blaze a way through all manner of obstacles and courage to proceed that opened a new path forcefully.

Once embarked on the journey, there was no regrets...

...

In the second level of the God Advent Tower, it was a vast desolate lands!

"Xiao!"

A sharp cry echoed in the sky like a phoenix's call. A dazzling light shot out from a mountain, and in this light beam, there was an azure-clothed youth's figure. He was making steps on the void and appearing like a flash of lightning. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

This azure-clothed youth was Yi Yun. The movement technique he was using was the "Golden Crow Sun Shift" that he had obtained from the third level of the God Advent Tower.

Typically, people who cultivated the "Golden Crow Sun Shift" would need at least half a year to get a foothold in the skill. And that was the speed of proud children of heavens.

However, Yi Yun had a close to perfect pure Yang body, and his pure Yang cultivation technique was in the large success stage. Together with the help of the Purple Crystal, cultivating the "Golden Crow Sun Shift" was done at an extraordinary pace.

His body left a golden beam in the air as he landed on a mountain. He used the mountain peak to shoot up into the sky again!

His body was like the blazing Sun rising in the East in an unstoppable manner!

After cultivating the "Golden Crow Sun Shift", Yi Yun's speed was no longer the same as it was in the past.

While he was moving with extreme speed, Yi Yun's eyes were as fast as lightning as he spotted a metal-winged eagle flying in the sky.

In this desolate land, many desolate beasts had their own territories. The metal-winged eagle was the lord of this small piece of sky. It was making its inspection here, and now, a tiny human being had suddenly appeared in its territory, undermining its authority.

The metal-winged eagle went into a rage as it cried out and charged at Yi Yun.

The metal-winged eagle was proficient in speed. When it flew in the sky, it was like a black bolt of lightning. Its two wings were like blades that could split a mountain!

Seeing the black-winged eagle charging at him, Yi Yun's eyes flashed. With a flip of his hand, the Tai Cang Bow appeared in his hands. He used his movement technique in the air and increased his speed. It was like his body had merged into a blazing sunbeam!

"Xiao!"

The metal-winged eagle reached out with its sharp claws and clawed at Yi Yun. Yi Yun strung his arrow and pulled his bow midair. The arrow he was using was the Wind Chasing Arrow. This was an arrow made by a bow-and-arrow family clan of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. However, placed in the Tian Yuan world, it was very normal. However, at that moment, with Yi Yun's pure Yang energy injected into the arrow, the arrow condensed into a Radiant Sun divine beam as if it had raised to a new grade of arrows.

Peng!

The bow string's vibration caused the clouds to scatter!

The Wind Chasing Arrow flew and with Yi Yun's pure Yang laws embedded in it, it was like a falling star that pierced through the void.

The terrifying sharp sound resounded throughout the sky. This arrow moved at an unbelievable speed towards the metal-winged eagle!

The metal-winged eagle was still maintaining a pose of charging at Yi Yun, but when the arrow flew pierced its body, its body, which was equivalent to divine metal, exploded in midair!

Whew!

After the Wind Chasing Arrows pierced the metal-winged eagle, it flew another 5 kilometers, past a valley and eventually hitting a mountain.

Boom!

A tumultuous explosion could be heard. After Yi Yun's arrow pierced through the metal-winged eagle, it had made a huge hole in the mountain!

The profoundness in that arrow could only be described as — fast!

When Yi Yun used the "Golden Crow Sun Shift" to push his speed to an extreme, and stringing the arrow and adding that speed onto the Wind Chasing Arrow, the power of the arrow that he shot out had reached an unimaginable level!

Even Yi Yun himself was shocked seeing such a terrifying arrow. His body circled midair and then, he grabbed the metal-winged eagle's corpse before flying down.

Boom!

The metal-winged eagle's corpse slammed heavily onto the ground. Yi Yun landed gently and his spiritual energy interfaced with the desolate beast's corpse. As he closed his eyes to concentrate, he began powering the skill he had obtained on the third level of the God Advent Tower, "Myriad Beast Totem"!

The complete "Myriad Beast Totem" had a lot more than what Yi Yun had previously learned. These also explained many of the questions Yi Yun that previously had.

Using the Purple Crystal to condensed a desolate beast mark was of course doubling the results with half the effort, but the flaws in the mystic technique itself were not something the Purple Crystal could make up for.

But now, with the complete "Myriad Beast Totem" jade scroll, this was no longer a problem.

True Martial World - Chapter 483: The Beautiful Figure in the Icy Plains

As time passed, Lin Xintong remained motionless. A layer of blue ice crystals formed on her eyebrows and her hair. The ice crystals were like sapphires that resembled flowers used for decoration.

On the first level of the God Advent Tower, Lin Xintong had chosen disk arrays that were suitable for herself. She did not gain many insights from the two disk array arrays, but the painting on the third level of the God Advent Tower made Lin Xintong feel something. As such, she sat in front of the painting and entered an ethereal state.

No Law, No Shape, No Void, No Me.

This was a form of epiphany, it was something that came by not searching for it.

An unknown amount of time passed and very faintly, Lin Xintong's eyebrows moved. Following that, she opened her eyes, revealing her clear glass-like eyes.

"Thank you for the senior's guidance… "

Lin Xintong looked at the figure in the painting and said softly before giving a respectful bow.

The painting contained the figure of the ancient Great Empress.

In the God Advent Tower, across millions of years, in the painting and outside the painting, the air emanated by Lin Xintong's body seemed to faintly resembled the ancient Great Empress'.

She stood up with her sword in hand and then walked towards the fourth level of the God Advent Tower without turning back.

In the epiphany she was having just moments ago, Lin Xintong saw many scenes, and amongst them, it included a portion of the ancient Great Empress' memories.

It turned out that… the God Advent Tower was not created by the ancient Great Empress. It was an opportunistic item that the ancient Great Empress had obtained.

Back then, the ancient Great Empress had climbed up the God Advent Tower slowly just like Lin Xintong.

"I want to be like the ancient Great Empress. If I want to change the destiny of my naturally terminated meridians, I need to follow her footsteps."

Lin Xintong said quietly in her heart and she climbed the staircase.

In front of her, there was a distant door of light. That was the entrance to the fourth level of the God Advent Tower.

As she walked up the staircase, Lin Xintong's mind was abnormally calm. At a certain point, she lifted her head and looked forward. Not far from her, there stood a white-dressed girl with a sword.

The white-dressed girl's looks and figure were extremely similar to Lin Xintong. It was like Lin Xintong was looking into a mirror.

She was the God Advent Tower fourth level's guardian.

Only by defeating her would Lin Xintong be able to step into the fourth level of the God Advent Tower.

"Make your move!"

Lin Xintong said lightly.

The white-dressed girl looked at Lin Xintong and their gazes met. They could see their own reflections in each other's eyes.

After a long while, the white-dressed girl gently shook her head, "I never expected that you already have an air like hers… "

"Oh?" Lin Xintong's eyebrows moved slightly. She was quite surprised at the words the white-dressed girl just said. She expected the white-dress girl to be a guardian without any intelligence or soul, yet, she had said such a thing to her.

"You mentioned 'her'? It looks like you are not just an energy life form that obeys orders..."

As Lin Xintong spoke, the white-dressed girl sighed lightly and kept her sword. She said faintly, "You have already made up your mind to join up your terminated meridians and control your own destiny… You have a sword in your heart, while I have no sword in my heart. I can't block you."

"Go, but even if you pass me, the fourth level will not be too easy for you."

The white-dressed girl said before her body exploded with a "Peng", turning into a rain of light as she dissipated.

What was left behind was a divine light that fell from the sky, shining on Lin Xintong's body.

This light finally formed on Lin Xintong's arm, becoming a beautiful set of Empyrean Marks.

With a simple count, there was a total of… 18 Empyrean Marks!

The 18 Empyrean Marks made Lin Xintong feel that she was one step closer to obtaining the recognition of the Great Empress mystic realm.

She walked up the stairs into the four level of the God Advent Tower. Standing in front of the door of light, Lin Xintong stood there silently for a while before stepping through the door without any hesitation.

The door of light flashed and it did not obstruct her in any way.

Upon entering the door of light, Lin Xintong felt like she had arrived in a new world.

In front of her, there was an endless land sealed in ice. She heard the cold winds blow and all that entered her eyes was white snow.

It seemed like the world had Lin Xintong as the only living thing.

This snow world was covered in endless snow plains, and for some reason, it seemed to give people a deep sense of despair.

At that moment, a gentle voice echoed in Lin Xintong's ear, "Child, go on. I can't give you your path. You have to use the sword in your hand to slash a path out."

This gentle voice echoed in Lin Xintong's ears, making her feel an unexplainable sense of calm.

Lin Xintong inhaled deeply and she looked far into the distance. There was no end to the icy plains. The pressure and sense of despair hovered above the icy plains and it became more intense.

It was like her naturally terminated meridians. There was no way of abandoning it no matter how hard she tried.

The icy plains… were something the ancient Great Empress had walked on herself in the past?

Lin Xintong then resolutely stepped onto the icy plains.

Ever since she was young, she knew that if she wanted to go further and live on, she had to put in work that was a hundred times more than others.

Even so, the result was not guaranteed.

The cold wind blew and it was like spinning flying daggers that flew at Lin Xintong. These gusts of cold wind brought along with them a wanton energy surge. It was not something that any ordinary warrior could withstand.

Lin Xintong powered up her Yuan Qi protection to endure the cold wind. In an instant, Lin Xintong felt the pressure.

Her Yuan Qi was depleted extremely fast, and under these circumstances, Lin Xintong knew that she could not go far.

The icy plains were endless. She might not even reach the horizon that she could see even when her Yuan Qi was emptied out.

This seemed like… an impossible challenge...

When her Yuan Qi was completely depleted resulting in her using body just being in such a terrifying icy plains, what would happen?

The Great Empress mystic realm had the danger of death. Lin Xintong did not know what would result from the failure of this trial, but she still proceeded without hesitation...

The ice bound her and pierced straight into her bones. They were like sharp sword Qi that was slashing at Lin Xintong's exquisite face. She did not have any expression, nor did her footsteps slow down one bit because of all these reasons.

With a white dress and a sword, she proceeded alone.

Like the white-dressed girl said, with Lin Xintong determined to join up her naturally terminated meridians, she already had a sword in her heart.

Step by step, if one looked from high up in the air, Lin Xintong appeared extremely tiny in the snowy plains. The footsteps she left behind were quickly erased by the cold wind...

Although she was strongly determined, her Yuan Qi was not increasing due to her determination. There was no miracle as her Yuan Qi slowly decreased, as she became unable to withstand the cold wind.

Finally, a gust of cold wind pierced through Lin Xintong's protective Yuan Qi and entered her body.

This gust of cold wind immediately seeped into her meridians and blood vessels, straight into her marrow.

The bone-biting chill made Lin Xintong's face suddenly turn white.

She could clearly feel that this gust of cold air had stimulated her naturally terminated meridians, causing the frost Qi in her body to increase and slowly consume her vitality.

True Martial World - Chapter 482: Learning the “Myriad Beast Totem” again

Back in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, Yi Yun found a remnant ancient copy in the best library in the Tai Ah Divine City. The first page of the ancient remnant was similar to the first part of the jade scroll in front of him.

In the Tai Ah Divine City's library, the "Myriad Beast Totem" was only a thin twelve page book, but now, the amount of content in the jade scroll had increased by tens of times.

"So many!?"

Yi Yun gasped. He knew how powerful the "Myriad Beast Totem" was. After he cultivated the "Myriad Beast Totem", he had killed a Golden Crow species, resulting in him being able to conjure a Golden Crow Aspect Totem from then on.

The Golden Crow Aspect Totem was extremely powerful. It helped Yi Yun defeat the number one genius in the Yun Long Divine Kingdom, Bai, while he was still in the Purple Blood realm, allowing him to obtain first place in the alliance tournament.

The Golden Crow Aspect Totem came from the "Myriad Beast Totem".

The remnant copy of the "Myriad Beast Totem" was already so powerful. With the complete version having a lot more content than the remnant "Myriad Beast Totem", how powerful would it become?

Yi Yun only pondered over it for a few seconds before keeping the "Myriad Beast Totem".

For the Great Empress mystic realm to have the "Myriad Beast Totem", it seemed like a coincidence, but it was also no coincidence at all.

The "Myriad Beast Totem" remnant in the Tai Ah Divine City was an original ancient remnant copy, so it wouldn’t be a surprise for it to come from the same period as the ancient Great Empress.

In the Great Empress mystic realm left behind by the ancient Great Empress, there were all sorts of cultivation technique manuals stored in it. Having one "Myriad Beast Totem" scroll was reasonable.

Besides, when he saw the disk array images from before, which had the azure-clothed swordsman with the wine gourd on his back demonstrating his sword intent that looked so similar to the terrifying sword scar at the Pure Yang Sword Palace, Yi Yun suspected that the Great Empress mystic realm was closely related to Fallen Star Gate.

And the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom had established itself near Fallen Star Gate.

When the country was established, for the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's royal family to find remnant copies of cultivation techniques that the ancient Great Empress had also found in nearby ancient ruins was also nothing surprising.

Regardless, Yi Yun had definitely chosen this "Myriad Beast Totem".

Following that, with slightly less than an hour left, Yi Yun sped up and finished browsing through all the cultivation techniques on the shelves.

At the final moment, a manual caught Yi Yun's eye.

It was a movement technique manual.

Typically, the value of movement technique manuals were not comparable to cultivation technique manuals or Totem mystic technique manuals. They were even worse than attacking moves.

However, Yi Yun still chose a set of movement technique manuals, as they had a strong relation with the cultivation techniques Yi Yun learned. Mastering it would be double the results with half the effort.

The collection in the Great Empress mystic realm was complete in all sorts of varieties. Yi Yun never expected to find manuals so suitable for himself.

The movement technique's opening page was an introduction to the manual. It was also this introduction that caught Yi Yun's eye.

This manual was not created by a person from a world in which the Tian Yuan world resided. He came from a foreign world.

The person who created this manual was sitting quietly in the mountains one night when he suddenly saw a Golden Crow fly across the sky.

At the moment the Golden Crow appeared, what was dark night became bright day. The radiant moon that was hanging in the sky became like the flaring sun, high up in the sky.

In a blink of an eye, the Golden Crow covered thousands of kilometers in the sky before breaking through the void and disappearing.

After that, the bright day lasted for two hours before the brightness slowly dissipated. The Sun in the middle of the sky also became a moon once again.

This scene gave the foreign world expert a lot of insight. As a result, he reclused himself for many years before creating this set of movement techniques, calling it "Golden Crow Sun Shift".

Pure Yang-elemental based movement technique manuals were rarely seen. This movement technique could be said to be tailored made for Yi Yun.

This made Yi Yun sigh from the bottom of his heart. The collection of the ancient Great Empress was too abundant. There were hundreds of manuals and a large number of warriors would be able to find something that was suitable for themselves.

With two manuals in hand, the time was up.

At that moment, a faint beam scattered down from the top of the God Advent Tower. As the bookshelf was covered in the light, and it slowly disappeared.

Yi Yun knew that it was being hidden by an illusion array.

With two manuals in hand, Yi Yun was exceedingly gratified. There was no need to talk about the "Myriad Beast Totem". The "Golden Crow Sun Shift" could be said to be timely. Yi Yun's movement techniques were currently not considered to be outstanding. Previously, with the large success stage of Minute Subtlety, no one at the same cultivation realm could surpass him in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. However, Minute Subtlety was just a trick and it was weaker than laws. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Now, with the "Golden Crow Sun Shift" filling the deficit, Yi Yun's movement would increase once again.

Yi Yun left the third level of the God Advent Tower. He did not challenge the fourth level and instead, he returned to the second level of the God Advent Tower.

The second level of the God Advent Tower was a vast and desolate world.

There were large numbers of desolate beasts inside which could provide him with actual combat, and cultivation.

In the beginning, Yi Yun only used the second level to gain insight into sword Dao, and he did not deeply investigate the world, so he did not fully utilize the second level of the God Advent Tower. However, now was the best time to do so.

...

When Yi Yun had entered the third level of the God Advent Tower to choose his cultivation technique manuals, many people were still working hard to enter the second level of the God Advent Tower.

The difficulty of going from the first level to the second level was not fixed. The older the cultivator was, the harder the test they faced.

Different people faced different tests. What they saw was completely different.

The God Advent Tower was unique to everyone. If 10,000 people came in, they would see 10,000 different scenes.

At that moment, a person was facing a trial that was different from anyone else.

At the third level of the God Advent Tower, in a different sealed space that looked like the same as the grand hall Yi Yun was in, a white dressed figure was sitting before an ancient painting quietly.

This girl was Lin Xintong.

She was the only person qualified to enter the third level of the God Advent Tower from the beginning amongst all the cultivators.

The painting in front of Lin Xintong was hung on a granite wall.

Previously, when Yi Yun came into the third level of the God Advent Tower, he too had seen a similar granite wall. There was also a painting on that wall.

However… the painting Yi Yun saw was the unrestrained azure-clothed swordsman. The azure-clothed swordsman in the painting had just undergone a life and death battle, and he was leaning on a tree as he drank wine.

However, what Lin Xintong saw was completely different. At the same spot, the painting she saw was of a simply clothed woman.

This woman's long hair was disheveled. Her clothes fluttered in the wind and she could only see the back of the woman. The woman was barefooted and she was walking on thin air with the tip of her toes.

Below her feet was an entire snow plain!

Every step the woman made, an ice lotus would bloom under her foot.

Many ice lotuses bloomed on the snowy plain, and a sword was floating behind the woman. It was accompanying this woman like it had a spirit.

The entire painting was drawn using very meticulous strokes. The woman was drawn very realistic. It was almost impossible to tell that it was fake.

Lin Xintong had her eyes closed. She had been sitting in front of the picture for a very long time...

True Martial World - Chapter 481: Third Level of the God Advent Tower

The light beam shooting down from the sky grew more intense. As the light beam entered the skin on Yi Yun's arm, the Empyrean Mark slowly began to appear.

One after another beautiful scales like those of a dragon appeared.

These dragon scales condensed and became denser. Yi Yun’s skin began to feel slightly numb and painful, but it felt comfortable.

After the light beam disappeared, Yi Yun made a simple count. Defeating the guardian of the third level had given him 18 Empyrean Marks in one go. Added to the 37 Empyrean Marks from before, Yi Yun now had a total of 55 Empyrean Marks.

Seeing the Empyrean Marks on his arm, Yi Yun sighed.

When he had managed to withstand the attacks of the third level's guardian, he did not receive a single Empyrean Mark. However, by defeating it, he had obtained 18 Empyrean Marks.

55 Empyrean Marks was a number that left Shentu Nantian and company in the dust when they first entered the Great Empress mystic realm. It sounded like a lot, but Yi Yun knew that he had obtained so many because he had completely met the Great Empress' requirements, whereas Shentu Nantian and company were too lacking.

His trials were not all done perfectly. At best, it could be said that he had fulfilled the Great Empress mystic realm's rules at certain times.

As such, when he finally entered the final treasure vault of the Great Empress mystic realm, the number of Empyrean Marks he had was probably insufficient.

His road ahead was still long.

The God Advent Tower was likely the most important part of these trials. It was also where the opportunities were.

Yi Yun made a decision that he would put in his best effort on this path to attain perfection. Only then could he gain the recognition of the ancient Great Empress.

Yi Yun moved forward slowly on the staircase before reaching the third level of the God Advent Tower.

Yi Yun looked inside through the door to the third level

The third level of the God Advent Tower was a sealed grand hall.

"The first level was a grand hall, the second level was a vast desolate world, while the third level changed back into a grand hall..."

Yi Yun lightly faltered as he stepped through the door.

He surveyed his surroundings, hoping to see Lin Xintong. However, the third level's grand hall was empty. Lin Xintong was nowhere to be found.

From the circumstances, either Lin Xintong had left the third level or the third level of the God Advent Tower was isolated individually. In here, everyone would only see themselves and not meet each other.

The grand hall of the third level was not as opulent as the first level's. In contrast, it had a solemn feeling to it.

The grand hall's floor tiles seemed to be made of the same material as the square outside the tower. The tiles were made from a stone that was black like ink. Stepping upon them made him feel a surge of blood Qi coming towards him.

Yi Yun circled around a few pillars. In the center of the grand hall hung a painting.

This painting was hung on a granite wall. After such a long period of time, the paper had already begun to turn yellow. However, the person in the picture remained clear and distinguishable.

Upon seeing the picture clearly, Yi Yun was stunned, "This is..."

The man in the picture was sitting on the ground, with his back leaning against a tree. One of his legs was straight while the other was arched like a bridge.

His left elbow was placed on the raised knee, and his right hand was holding a wine gourd. He was gulping down wine. Beside him, his sword was stabbed into the ground diagonally. The blade of the sword was even stained with blood.

This picture was drawn roughly. The way the strokes were drawn made it seem like it was by an art master in an unrestrained manner after he was drunk. It was drawn wilfully in one go after dabbing into ink.

Seeing this painting, Yi Yun could not tell what was on his own mind.

The azure-clothed man in the picture was the azure-clothed swordsman who had fought the black-armored warrior in the disk array images he watched previously.

The sword blade was stained with blood, proving that the azure-clothed swordsman had just undergone a huge battle. He was very likely to have killed his enemy.

And following that, he was in no way concerned about the large battle that he had just experienced. Instead, he sat alone on the grass plains leaning against a tree. He watched the wilderness and began drinking, quick to settle grudges.

What sort of unconventional and unrestrained life was this?

Yi Yun stopped before the picture and looked at it for a long while. He had chosen the disk array with the scenes of the azure-clothed swordsman in the first level, and now he had seen the azure-clothed swordsman's picture on the third level of the God Advent Tower.

Was this a coincidence, or was it due to him choosing the azure-clothed swordsman's disk array that resulted in seeing this painting?

Yi Yun could not figure it out. The Great Empress mystic realm contained all sorts of mysteries.

Ignoring the ancient Great Empress's impressive methods, just the way she thought and the planning she put into the mystic realm alarmed him.

"This picture might be useful to my understanding of the sword..."

Yi Yun rubbed his chin. He decided to stop looking at the picture temporarily. He proceeded behind the granite wall and here he saw a row of bookshelves.

The ancient wooden bookshelf remained standing after so many years. It seemed to have witnessed the long history of the Great Empress mystic realm.

Yi Yun walked before the bookshelf and saw rows of sealed jade scrolls on the bookshelf.

He randomly choose one and sank his perception into it. Inside the jade scroll were extremely ancient words. The complicated strokes made them seem very obscure.

"Green Water Sutra!"

Yi Yun saw three words the moment he opened the first jade scroll.

Was this a cultivation technique manual?

Yi Yun's eyes flashed. The Green Water Sutra sounded like a name of a water-elemental based cultivation technique. Could it be that all the jade scrolls on the bookshelf were manuals of cultivation techniques?

Yi Yun picked up a few other jade scrolls.

"Leisure Sword Sutra"!

"Spiritual Invisibility Mystic Book"!

"Star Gathering Manual"!

Every jade scroll had the name of a cultivation technique. Some of them were movement techniques, attacking moves and other sorts of manuals.

The ancient Great Empress had left her cultivation techniques in the third level of the God Advent Tower?

Yi Yun suddenly had such a thought. At that moment, the Great Empress mystic realm's cold voice echoed once again, "You have four hours to choose any two manuals! After that, the granite walls will be sealed shut!"

Four hours!

Yi Yun was dismayed. It was too short.

It was barely fine with an hour to choose disk arrays. Just by watching the images in the disk arrays, he was able to decide if he could withstand the pressure from the images. He was also able to affirm that the things in the images was something suitable for him to cultivate.

However...for choosing manuals, it was no easy task.

He needed to read at least half of each manual to decide if it was suitable for himself. As for knowing if he could master it, he had to read the second half of the manual to know the difficulty.

And each of these manuals was abstruse. To understand even a single scroll was not easy.

"Just to choose a manual in the Great Empress mystic realm is a form of challenge and test. How is it possible to finish reading so many manuals in four hours?"

Yi Yun frowned. However, as the rules were set by the ancient Great Empress, he had to abide by them.

With only four hours, he quickly picked up the jade scrolls and browsed through their contents.

If the manual contained a clear bias towards a law like the five-elemental laws or natural laws, they were immediately abandoned by Yi Yun.

He cultivated the pure Yang laws. Since the laws were not a match, there was nothing worth reading.

If the weapon was not right, he didn't read it!

If the cultivation technique itself was not profound enough, he didn't read it!

If the content was too short, he didn't read it!

There were too many cultivation techniques, so to increase his selection speed, he could only use such a rough heuristic as a filter. Maybe some cultivation techniques might be short in content, but they were equally profound, however, Yi Yun could not care about that.

He had already used up two hours, yet, he had yet to find a cultivation technique suitable for himself.

Seeing that he still had more than half of the cultivation techniques left, Yi Yun had no choice by to increase his speed further.

This test was indeed tiring.

It tested a cultivator's eyesight, distinguishing ability, analyzing ability and perceptivity!

A cultivator's ability to cultivate well could also be seen from being able to speed read a manual.

Yi Yun began to read faster and faster. The abstruse words seemed to flash past Yi Yun's mind, while he began to choose what was most suitable for himself.

Every manual he saw, be it whether they were suitable or not, or whether Yi Yun decided to choose it or not, its location and rough contents were remembered by Yi Yun.

This made it easy for him to make a choice later. This was also a great test on Yi Yun's memory.

Another thirty minutes past, as the deadline approached. There was slightly more than an hour left.

Yi Yun's forehead began to sweat. The Great Empress mystic realm's collection was too rich. There was almost nothing lacking.

Ever since Yi Yun came to the Tian Yuan world, he had come into contact with some cultivation technique manuals of the Tian Yuan world. He felt that many of the manuals the large factions of the Tian Yuan world used were related to the manuals from ancient times. They were probably even developed from these manuals.

There were some cultivation technique manuals which was much more superior to the copy spreading in Tian Yuan world.

This might have been because after being passed down over so many years, the cultivation technique manuals began to become incomplete or lost.

Upon realizing this, Yi Yun read with greater focus.

Another thirty minutes past, leaving an hour.

Yi Yun did not spend the time to wipe his sweat. He still had a quarter of the manuals he had not read. He had a good grasp of time, so he could probably finish reading all the manuals before the time was all.

And at that moment, when Yi Yun picked up a blood-red jade scroll, his hands suddenly froze.

"Oh? This is..."

Yi Yun was alarmed. This jade scroll did not record a cultivation techniques or a set of moves, but was an Aspect Totem mystic technique. It was a required mystic technique that warriors used to condense their Aspect Totem.

However, there was nothing too alarming about it except its name. It happened to be the "Myriad Beast Totem"!

True Martial World - Chapter 480: Breaking past the Guardian

Seeing Yi Yun unsheath his sword, the azure-clothed youth chuckled, "You managed to handle my two attacks several days ago. You could have entered the third level back then, but you chose not to. Instead, you have coming again and again to challenge me. What is that for?"

"Handle your attacks?" Yi Yun shook his head, "It is at most being able to withstand your attacks, and not handle them. In this Great Empress mystic realm, you are like my shadow. A portion of your sword Dao comes from me, so you are like my mirror. With you, I can also see my own flaws."

As Yi Yun spoke, his aura expanded. Seeing this scene, the azure-clothed youth looked taken-aback. Having not seen Yi Yun for two days, he could feel that Yi Yun's aura had a tiny change. It seemed to contain an indescribable sharpness.

"You aren't satisfied handling two of my sword attacks? Could it be that you want to defeat me?"

Hearing the azure-clothed youth's words, Yi Yun laughed, "Why shouldn't I try?"

As he spoke, a clear cry was heard from within Yi Yun's body. A flaming Golden Crow shot up into the sky and appeared behind Yi Yun. It looked like an ancient fire-elemental tribe's totem.

"Defeat me?" The azure-clothed youth's eyes flashed. In the God Advent Tower, being able to barely withstand every level's test was not easy, yet Yi Yun wanted to defeat him? Such ambition alarmed him,

"Interesting! Then come! Let me see your ability!"

The azure-clothed youth attacked. It was the same two attacks. The tests the other cultivators were experiencing were the same too. They all faced the same respective two attacks.

However, these two attacks had given numerous young geniuses a crushing defeat.

"The first attack!"

Flipping his blade, the azure-clothed youth sent out a golden sword Qi.

This sword Qi was extremely swift and fierce even making an ear-piercing sound as it passed through the staircase of the God Advent Tower covering it in a golden sheen!

Facing this attack, Yi Yun held his breath and focused. In his eyes, that attack seemed to suddenly slow down.

Yi Yun knew very well that this attack's momentum was terrifying. It came from the powerful energy the azure-clothed youth had.

However, even so, this sword attack lacked a certain profound charm.

Compared to the Pure Yang Sword Palace's owner or the azure-clothed man who wore a wine gourd on his back, their sword attacks were completely different from the azure-clothed youth. Their sword attacks contained their heart of the sword. It was their life experiences as well as manifestation of their own characters.

As for the azure-clothed youth in front of him, he was like a reflection of Yi Yun. Even though he had intelligence and could chat with Yi Yun, he was only an illusion formed from energy. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

His sword attack lacked a certain trace of profundity. This caused his sword to lack a certain charm.

Such a sword attack was strong, but it was not terrifying.

Upon understanding this, Yi Yun retreated as the Golden Crow behind me let out a long cry as it charged towards the azure-clothed youth's sword beam!

"Oh? You aren't using your sword!?"

The azure-clothed youth was shocked. Against his first attack, Yi Yun did not slash out despite holding a sword in hand. Yi Yun was only using his Aspect Totem to block the sword attack.

"Presumptuous!"

The azure-clothed youth changed his attack trajectory as it slashed through the void and directly hit the Golden Crow's body!

The Golden Crow spread its wings. Its wings were as sharp as blades as it impacted the azure-clothed youth's sword beam.

"Boom!"

A strong wind blew as golden energy beams were sent out flying in all directions like sharp swords. It caused the stone pillars of the God Advent Tower to rumble.

A startling wound appeared on Yi Yun's Golden Crow Totem's chest. Its feathers were in a mess as if it was seriously injured.

However, the Aspect Totem was just a condensation of energy and laws. Under the continuous provision of pure Yang energy from Yi Yun's body, the Golden Crow Totem's wounds slowly began to recover.

As long as Yi Yun was not lacking in energy, the Golden Crow Totem was like an undying phoenix. It could be revived continuously.

"Xiao!"

The Golden Crow gave a long cry as it spread its wings and flew up into the sky. With that Yi Yun sprung up and sword's blade faced the sky as he slashed!

"Oh? He really blocked it!?"

The azure-clothed youth was alarmed. However, he was just an energy-based lifeform. He did not have any fear. Flipping his sword's blade again, he slashed out his second attack.

This strike had an even more terrifying momentum. All the energy within his body was injected into that attack. The sword beam shot towards the horizon as if a galaxy was falling down from the skies!

This sword beam rushed towards Yi Yun with an indomitable momentum!

At that moment, Yi Yun's blood was rushing. His fighting spirit was burning and it spewed up like a volcano. He clenched the sword tightly as he slashed downwards!

His beliefs and intentions were all injected into the sword, causing his sword to have a soul to it!

"Boom!"

Two sword beams clashed violently as the sword beams shattered. Like countless arrows shooting out, it caused the void to tremble.

Under this intense strike, Yi Yun's palm tore as blood splattered. A strong sword Qi stabbed into his protective Yuan Qi causing all his meridians to be injured. His organs also suffered a pain similar to that of being stabbed by needles.

His body was also injured by the shattered sword Qi. His clothes were torn and numerous wounds appeared underneath each tear.

However, at that moment, the sword in Yi Yun's hands continued moving amongst the sword beams as it moved straight towards the middle of the azure-clothed youth's eyebrows!

The sword tip pierced through skin and golden energy flowed out like spewed blood.

Yi Yun and his sword had charged straight before the azure-clothed youth after he endured the shattered sword beams!

This attack had defeated the guardian of the God Advent Tower's third level!

"You have won." The azure-clothed youth said lightly. "To be able to defeat me, you are not only at the rank of 'Grandmaster'. For this trial, your results are brilliant."

After the azure-clothed youth said that, his body exploded with a "Peng".

He transformed into uncountable light drops of golden rain. In this rain of light, a golden ancient relic appeared like a dropping gem.

Yi Yun caught the ancient relic. This ancient relic was completely crystal clear. Compared to the one he obtained from the ancient desolate beast previously, the quality was even better.

This secretly shocked Yi Yun. The Great Empress mystic realm was a super treasure land. Ignoring the heritage, cultivation techniques, mystic techniques and manuals within the Great Empress mystic realm, the ancient relics that were used to maintain the energy puppets was a huge amount of wealth in itself.

Upon thinking of this, Yi Yun felt anticipation. He clenched his fists as he headed towards the third level of the God Advent Tower.

He had previously obtained the rights to enter the third level of the God Advent Tower, but only now did he really choose to step through it.

The moment Yi Yun raised his foot, a beautiful light beam shot down from the sky onto his body.

This light beam was warm and seemed familiar. With a thought, Yi Yun immediately realized that this...was the Empyrean Mark's light beam. He had once again obtained Empyrean Marks.

He had obtained the reward of Empyrean Marks after defeating the third level's guardian. However, Yi Yun did not know how many he would obtain.
