Trial Tower

Little True Person Yueyang lost and walked off the stage with his head down. However, he cheered up after only a few steps. It has to be said that there are advantages to a child's mentality; at least he doesn't take winning and losing so seriously.

"Your name is Xiu He, right? Can we exchange Communication Talisman? I'd like to spar with you sometime!" Little True Person Yueyang revealed a set of bright Little White teeth.

Yang Tianyou sheathed his sword and stood there. Upon hearing this, he was taken aback at first, hesitated for a moment, and then handed his Communication Talisman to Little True Person Yueyang.

The latter is a direct descendant of the sect leader of the Sea Abyss Sect. Although his cultivation level is only at the Foundation Establishment, his status in the Sea Abyss Sect is beyond question. Establishing this relationship would be very beneficial to the development of Coiled Snake Island.

Little True Person Yueyang was very happy to receive the Communication Talisman from Yang Tianyou. He took out a bluish-white jade pendant and sent it over using his Spiritual Power.

"This is my Communication Talisman, remember to keep it safe!" After saying this, Little True Person Yueyang jumped off the arena.

Looking at the Talisman Jade in his hand, Yang Tianyou's expression changed slightly. This thing was actually a type of Talisman, but it was engraved on a special jade stone, so it could be used more times.

The Talisman Dao is vast and boundless, and it is not limited to Blank Talisman Paper as the only medium. Talisman Jade, Talisman Orb, Talisman Wood, and other materials can all be used to inscribe Talisman, and some materials are even more effective.

Yang Tianyou even saw a Spirit Items called Talisman Artifact in ancient books. This object was made primarily using the method of Talisman Crafting and secondarily using the method of Artifact Refining.

It is engraved with a large number of basic runes. Cultivators can use these runes to construct several kinds of Talisman, thereby mastering some of the abilities of Talisman Cultivator.

Furthermore, Talisman Artifact have another advantage: like Law Artifact and Law Treasures, they have existed for a very long time.

If properly maintained, a Talisman Artifact can even be passed down through generations as an heirloom.

However, the methods of crafting Talisman Artifact are generally controlled by powerful forces, and the materials used for their creation are extremely rare. Therefore, Talisman Artifact are not widely used in the Cultivation World, and 99% of cultivators still use Talisman made from Blank Talisman Paper.

That said, after defeating Little True Person Yueyang, Yang Tianyou's subsequent battles went smoothly, and in a short time, he won thirty consecutive matches, earning Supreme Rating.

After leaving the arena, Yang Tianyou returned to the White Tiger Palace.

There are three months left until the end of the nine levels, and he has already passed eight levels and obtained seven Supreme Ratings.

Now only the Battle Trial A remains to be conquered. Yang Tianyou sat cross-legged in a corner, swallowed a regulating Pills, and began to adjust his condition.

They fought a full thirty rounds on the arena. Although they didn't encounter any particularly difficult opponents, these cultivators were all experts at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer, and there were about ten of them whose combat strength was comparable to that of False Core cultivator.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Little True Person Yueyang was easily defeated by Yang Tianyou. It's not because he was weak, but because Yang Tianyou was very good at countering his Illusion Technique.

Blade Cultivators are known for their unwavering resolve, not to mention Yang Tianyou's True Spirit Strength; his resistance to soul-based and Illusion Technique- based attacks is therefore formidable.

Finally, he also Dual Cultivation of Spell and Body, so his Fleshly Body defense was not limited to physical attacks, but also had strong resistance to soul-type attacks.

Otherwise, those Body Cultivators wouldn't even be worth it; they would have been eliminated from the mainstream cultivation system long ago.

After three days of rest, when his Essence Qi were at their peak, Yang Tianyou strode towards the final checkpoint.

Battle Trial A!

Nestled among towering mountains, an octagonal Exquisite Tower stands majestically. At each of the four corners of the pagoda, a Four Symbols Divine Beasts is carved: the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu.

At the top of the tower, a Pale Azure Spirit Pearl shone brightly, Tongming the surrounding hundreds of miles.

In front of the Trial Tower, on the plaza, many Cultivators were gathered, some standing and some sitting.

Many people looked up at the Yun Tian Trial Tower, where a huge light screen was projected in the center, displaying the rankings of the top one hundred cultivators who had made it through the Trial Tower!

Ranking of the Four Symbols Tower:

First, Bing Sheng, passed level nine.

Second, Dao Yan, nine layers.

Third, Huayu, nine layers past.

Fourth, Changqing, nine floors.

Fifth, Lingchanzi, passed the ninth level.

Sixth, the Jing Fuhai, nine layers pass.

Thirteenth, Canghun, Eighth Floor Pass

Fourteenth, Yang Wu, Eighth Floor

Thirty-one, Yang Kang, Eighth Floor Pass

Chapter 100, Qiutong, Seventh Floor

Looking at the rankings of the Four Symbols Tower in front of him, Yang Tianyou took a deep breath. Many familiar names came into view. Being able to compete with these geniuses on the same stage was undoubtedly a great fortune.

However, when Yang Tianyou saw the number fourteen, Yang Tianyou Yang Wu, he was slightly taken aback. Could it be that kid Xuanwu?

And Yang Kang, could he be Sixth Brother?

Thinking of this, he looked around and began searching for his clansmen.

The Four Symbols Tower is the only building in the Nine Gates that is universally accessible to all cultivators; anyone wishing to pass through the Battle Trial A must come here.

Sure enough, after searching for a while, Yang Tianyou's Shen Yi lit up; he saw Yang Xuanyang.

Before long, the uncle and nephew met up. From Yang Xuanyang, Yang Tianyou learned that apart from his twelfth uncle Yang Qiongchuan, who had never come to the Four Symbols Tower to try his luck, the other four members of the clan had all been here.

Xuanwu achieved the best result, ranking fourteenth and receiving the highest rating.

Next is Yang Tiankang, the Sixth Brother, who ranked thirty-first. Although he was not as good as Yang Xuanwu, he also received the highest rating.

As for the Fourth Sister, Yang Tianxue, and Yang Xuanyang, the former passed the fifth level and the latter passed the sixth level, but neither of them managed to get an excellent rating.

Speaking of these things, Yang Xuanyang seemed somewhat dejected. It wasn't obvious within the Lineage, but after leaving, he realized how vast the gap was between himself and Yang Xuanwu.

The latter seemed to grow stronger with each battle, advancing triumphantly through the Four Symbols Nine Trials.

Looking at himself, apart from having a slight advantage in the Cause and Effect Trial due to his cultivation of the "White Tiger Constellation Exposition", he lost to Yang Xuanwu in almost all other tests, including the aptitude test.

Because Yang Xuanwu's Body Cultivator Aptitude was actually rated as excellent, it made up for his weakness in having Four Spirit Roots.

Yang Tianyou patted Yang Xuanyang on the shoulder and offered a few words of encouragement.

"Don't be discouraged. As long as you keep improving and cultivate diligently, one day you will catch up with Xuanwu. The path of cultivation is long and arduous. A temporary lead means nothing. The most important thing is to have confidence and perseverance!"

After listening to Nineteenth Uncle's words, Yang Xuanyang perked up a bit, and then he asked curiously, "Nineteenth Uncle, how was your level's rating?"

"Seven Extremes, One Center!"

"..."

Yang Xuanyang fell silent, somewhat regretting his earlier outburst. He'd only made things worse for himself!

The two chatted for a while longer, then Yang Tianyou roused himself, stepped into the Four Symbols Tower.

Yang Xuanyang watched his retreating figure, his eyes filled with anticipation, wanting to see if his uncle could surpass Xuanwu and directly pass through the nine-story Four Symbols Tower!

The scene before them shifted; the once towering pagoda vanished, replaced by a ground radiating an eerie, metallic glow, and dense Array Mark surging all around.

Wow!

The light gathered before them, gradually forming a figure that emitted a faint white glow.

The man held a long sword, and his face was blurred as if shrouded in mist.

A powerful Blade Intent emanated from him. Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, having mastered the basics of Blade Intent. It seemed that this person was pursuing a pure path of heavy swordsmanship!

"Battle Trial A, the Four Symbols Tower Trial, First Level, now begins!"

The characters appeared, then quickly turned into specks of light and vanished.

The figure opposite was clearly not True Person, but a phantom formed by the Law Power. It was wielding a long sword and slashing down from the sky, actually making the first move!
