Learning Heavenly Demon Zen Sound Again (Part One)
"I am the ruler of this nation. All the land under heaven belongs to me, and all people within its borders are my subjects. Whether they are commoners or Cultivator from various Sect, as long as they are citizens of my Great Tang, how can I, as their monarch, not protect them? Issue my decree: the three Imperial Preceptor shall join forces to open the spatial passage to the Heaven-Piercing Tower, enter it, and rescue my Great Tang."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" In the Great Hall, three Cultivator dressed in Dharma Robe, who hadn't uttered a word, stepped forward and nodded in agreement upon hearing the king's command. As the Imperial Preceptor of the Great Tang Dynasty, their cultivation was undoubtedly exceptional.
"Your Majesty is wise..." the Civil and Military Officials in the Great Hall responded in unison.
Inside the Heaven-Piercing Tower, Zhuge Xiang and his companions had begun their ascent to the Ninth Layer. In previous years, passing through each floor of the Heaven-Piercing Tower had required immense effort.
Some dangers came from other Cultivator, some from the Fire Control Tribe, and some even from various natural disasters, such as the Weak Water in the Weak Water River, or the erupting Volcano in the Volcano. However, this time, apart from the First Layer being more dangerous, the changes in the Heaven-Piercing Tower were truly unstoppable.
As expected, just as the Fire Control Tribe on the Seventh Layer had said, all the elite Fire Control Tribe People had come to the Ninth Layer the Heaven-Piercing Tower order to open up a passage out of the Heaven-Piercing Tower.
The Ninth Layer, though only about sixty or seventy miles in circumference, was densely packed with tens of thousands of Fire Control Tribe People, whose cultivation levels were not weak.
"These despicable fellows, in their condition, they think they can leave? If they really escape, it will be a disaster for the world..." Looking at the thousands of Demonization Fire Control Tribe, Lin Qingyu's face was filled with seriousness as he spoke in a low voice, appearing eager to Exorcise Demon the demons and protect the righteous path.
"Overall, these Fire Control Tribe People don't seem to have any conflict with our goals. Is there a possibility of forming an alliance?" Tie Zhan suggested. Their goal was to leave the Heaven-Piercing Tower, and so was the goal of these Fire Control Tribe.
"Impossible," Zhuge Xiang shook his head, decisively refuting Tie Zhan's suggestion. "Why would these Fire Control Tribe become Demonization? It's out of hatred for humans. In their hearts, killing us outsiders is perhaps more important than whether they can leave the Heaven-Piercing Tower."
"That makes sense," Zhuge Xiang's analysis was met with nods of agreement from Wu Zhao, Mo Lingna, and the others standing nearby.
Hearing Zhuge Xiang refute his analysis, Tie Zhan, though displeased, had to admit that Zhuge Xiang was not wrong.
Zhuge Xiang glanced at Tie Zhan casually, and seeing that he didn't seem to have any intention of going his own way, he nodded inwardly. Although he had always coveted Mo Lingna, which made Zhuge Xiang very disgusted with him, he had to admit that even though this guy disliked him, he knew to prioritize the overall situation and didn't intend to act recklessly.
"Husband, what do you suggest we do?" Mo Lingna asked, her beautiful eyes fixed on Zhuge Xiang. The others also paid more or less attention to Zhuge Xiang, waiting for his reply.
"Wait," Zhuge Xiang replied calmly, "We were faster, so we arrived at the Ninth Layer first. There are thousands of Cultivator entering the Heaven-Piercing Tower. Even with the casualties on the First Layer, I believe many more will gradually arrive. Let's wait until all those Cultivators have gathered here before observing the situation. In the meantime, we can also thoroughly investigate this Ninth Layer."
"Yes, whether it's fighting or self-defense, we'll be much more at ease," Zhuge Xiang said. Everyone nodded in agreement, though some disagreed.
To be honest, the space on the Ninth Layer isn't very large, only about seventy or eighty miles in circumference, but it contains at least ten thousand Fire Control Tribe. It would be quite difficult for Zhuge Xiang and the others to hide. Fortunately, most of these Fire Control Tribe are concentrated at the Altar of Sacrifice, so the outer area is relatively easier to explore for ways to leave the Ninth Layer.
Hiding on the Ninth Layer, they secretly observed the Fire Control Tribe while also waiting for the human Cultivator to gather there.
Regarding the reconnaissance, the most suitable candidate would have been Tie Zhan, who would have been much more convenient to conduct the reconnaissance in his Lion Form. However, Zhuge Xiang also has two pets and a Mount.
Xiao Yue's cultivation hasn't improved much these days, and he hasn't devoured many treasures, so his cultivation remains at the peak of the Two-Star. The Phoenix Winged Black Tiger's cultivation has reached the upper level of the Two-Star. As for the Little Fire Phoenix, Zhuge Xiang dares not release it. Once the Phoenix appears, it will attract the attention of the Fire Control Tribe more than humans like himself.
Xiao Yue, disguised as a puppy, and the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger roamed the Ninth Layer, helping Zhuge Xiang and the others to investigate the activities of the Fire Control Tribe. Zhuge Xiang and the others hid in a secluded mountain valley on the Ninth Layer.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Relying on the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger and Xiao Yue to gather information, Zhuge Xiang did everything he could. He took out the Origin Returning Furnace to help everyone repair all the Treasure Artifact. Not only did he gain some proficiency, but he also indirectly improved everyone's strength.
However, the waiting period kept Zhuge Xiang busy, and one night, he secretly opened the Zhuge Xiang Gate of Rakshasa and entered the Asura Path.
The Asura Path was a blood-red sky, filled with a chilling and bloody atmosphere. It was a familiar Asura Path, but Zhuge Xiang hadn't come here to fight. A point of light shone from between Zhuge Xiang's brows, and a Nine-Story Treasure Pagoda appeared, growing taller in the wind, standing majestically in the Asura Path. Its extremely powerful and yang Buddhist Power emanated from it, completely out of place in the atmosphere of the Asura Path.
Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda!
The Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda has Ninth Layer, each engraved with a Heavenly Demon Zen Sound Diagram. To date, Zhuge Xiang has only mastered four of them: the first three and the last one on the Ninth Layer, where Liao Fa is located.
Heaven-Piercing Tower, a fierce battle is inevitable. The Heavenly Demon Zen Sound is the most suitable way to deal with these Demonization Fire Control Tribe. In the Great Qin Empire, Zhuge Xiang was wary of the Heavenly Dragon Heavenly Dragon Temple and could not use the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound at will. However, in the Great Tang Dynasty, inside the Heaven-Piercing Tower, Zhuge Xiang had no such concerns.
The Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda has Ninth Layer. The lower Third Layer suppress beings equivalent to Qi Refining Stage Cultivator, the middle Third Layer to Deity Transformation stage cultivators, and the upper Third Layer to Void Returning Stage...
Zhuge Xiang opened the door of the Evil Suppressing Pagoda and stepped inside. On the First Layer, all sorts of Monster Beast, with ferocious faces, fell silent upon seeing Zhuge Xiang. Wild beasts' instincts are always more acute than humans', and Zhuge Xiang made them clearly feel an overwhelming power they could not contend with.
"I'm back. Let's go back and learn a few more Heavenly Demon Zen Sound..."
On the First Layer of the Evil Suppressing Pagoda, the enormous Sky-Slaying Sword was stuck in the middle, riddled with wounds and nearly collapsing. Zhuge Xiang spoke up, knowing that Liao Fa on the Ninth Layer would surely hear his voice. He must have been waiting impatiently all these years.
Leaving these words to the Sky-Slaying Sword, Zhuge Xiang did not linger and continued walking up to the upper levels of the Evil Suppressing Pagoda.
The Second Layer of Monster Beast were equally terrified of Zhuge Xiang, daring not to offend him in the slightest. Zhuge Xiang strolled through the first Third Layer as if taking a leisurely walk. From the Fourth Layer onwards, the beings were at the level of Fairy...
The Fourth Layer was filled with One-Star and Two-Star Demonic Creatures Fairy, including Hairy Zombie and Asura. As they watched Zhuge Xiang walk up, these Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters looked at him with fear in their eyes.
Although Zhuge Xiang's cultivation was only about one minor realm higher than theirs, the aura emanating from Zhuge Xiang instilled in them an instinctive fear.
Just like on the lower Third Layer, these Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters looked at Zhuge Xiang with the same fear in their eyes. However, their fear was much weaker. Zhuge Xiang ignored Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters and walked towards the murals on the Fourth Layer.
These Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters and monsters stared at Zhuge Xiang with trepidation, looking like they wanted to make a move but dared not. At this level, apart from the Zombie being relatively weaker, the other monsters had all developed a certain degree of intelligence.
Seeing that Zhuge Xiang had already reached the bottom of the mural, finally, a Two-Star Hairy Zombie couldn't hold back any longer. It roared and pounced on Zhuge Xiang. Its black Zombie Claw were burning with Flame. The Zombie's powerful body meant that even the Spell attacks of Cultivator at the Spell Control Stage would not be able to easily cause any substantial damage to it in the short term.
However, Zhuge Xiang didn't even turn his head to face the attack from the Two-Star Hairy Zombie. The Dragon's Judgment Sword appeared, and a fierce Sword Light flashed by. Then, blood splattered, and the Two-Star Hairy Zombie was cut in half at the waist by Zhuge Xiang's Sword Control Technique. The notification sound of gaining experience rang in Zhuge Xiang's mind. This Two-Star Hairy Zombie could no longer bring Zhuge Xiang much Experience Points.
After looking at the picture on the Fourth Layer, Zhuge Xiang spent a Skill Point to learn the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound Diagram, and without stopping, continued walking towards the Fifth Layer...
On the Fifth Layer, the suppressed Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters were clearly much stronger, all being Three-Star or Four-Star beings. In terms of cultivation, they were no weaker than Zhuge Xiang, and perhaps even stronger...
As expected of the Fifth Layer, the Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters on this Fifth Layer looked at Zhuge Xiang with ill intent as he appeared, baring their teeth and their eyes filled with ferocity.
"Hmph..." Zhuge Xiang knew exactly what these Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters were thinking. He snorted coldly, and in his human form, he directly unleashed his Demonic True Body, transforming into a giant Demon Person.
The horns on his head almost touched the ceiling. Pure and fierce Demonic Qi emanated from Zhuge Xiang's body. The intense killing intent made these malevolent demons and Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters pause for a moment, realizing that Zhuge Xiang was not as weak as they had imagined.
King's Aura!
As Zhuge Xiang his Demonic True Body, he once again displayed his King's Aura, emanating a Demonic True Body of supreme dominance and majesty.
If the Demonic True Body made them realize that Zhuge Xiang was not a pushover, not someone they could bully, then as his King's Aura unfolded, the ill intent in the eyes of these Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters and monsters slowly faded...
