Levels Soaring: Demon Sealing Tower (Part One)

"Ding! Seeking Aid 'Request for Assistance' triggered. Quest requirements: Successfully bring Imperial Uncle Li Batian out of the Demon Sealing Tower. Quest successful, level +1. Obtain Enchanted Jade *1, Obtain Instant Recovery Immortal Pill *1. Accept/Reject."

Mechanical System Prompt sounded in Zhuge Xiang's mind: entering the Demon Sealing Tower and finding the Imperial Uncle was clearly no easy task, thus triggering a system mission.

This quest not only offers a level-based reward, but also an item called Enchanted Jade and Instant Recovery Immortal Pill. Although I don't know the specific effects, they shouldn't be bad.

Since everyone was in the same boat, and this task was indeed only suitable for him, Zhuge Xiang naturally agreed without hesitation and accepted the system task as well.

"The Demon Sealing Tower?" Zhuge Xiang knew everything about the Demon Incarnation in King Fenghe's possession. Hall of Honored Guests, Zhuge Xiang sat cross-legged on the bed and slowly opened his eyes. On the Quest Interface, the Demon Clone's next quest was indeed shared with his own Quest Interface.

Standing up, Zhuge Xiang went directly into the Imperial Palace and met with the emperor privately, requesting to enter the Demon Sealing Tower.

As the Demon -Demon Sealing Tower, which was specially built by the Great Tang Dynasty to suppress and seal Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters, almost no one could see it without the emperor's approval, let alone enter it.

"The Demon Sealing Tower?" Inside the Yongning Hall, the Great Tang Emperor looked at Zhuge Xiang with barely concealed surprise. "You want to enter the Demon Sealing Tower? At this critical juncture?"

"Indeed, Your Majesty, these past few days, after the battles with the Fire Control King and the Great Belly Ghost King, my Heavenly Demon Zen Sound seems to be on the verge of a breakthrough. Therefore, I need more Evil Demon and heretical forces to help me cultivate and break through. After much thought, only the Demon Sealing Tower is the most ideal place for me to cultivate," Zhuge Xiang had already prepared his explanation for entering.

The Great Tang Emperor pondered. Zhuge Xiang's entry into the Hall of Honored Guests was based on his Heavenly Demon Zen Sound, and its ability to subdue demons and Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters was well-known. If he succeeded in entering the Demon -Heavenly Demon Zen Sound Demon Sealing Tower, it would indeed bring immeasurable benefits to the Great Tang Dynasty.

First, Zhuge Xiang's Cultivation Technique level has improved. This is a blessing for the Great Tang. In addition, if he can truly convert some of the Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters in the Demon Sealing Tower, not only will it alleviate the pressure on the Demon Sealing Tower, but it is even possible that these converted Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters will become an asset to the Great Tang Dynasty.

It should be understood that none of those qualified to be suppressed and sealed in the Demon Sealing Tower, rather than being directly killed by the Great Tang Dynasty, were simple individuals.

"Very well, since it's cultivation, I naturally won't stop you. But I wonder how long you'll need for this seclusion?" After pondering for a moment, the emperor knew that Zhuge Xiang's entry into the Demon Sealing Tower was also a good thing for the Great Tang Dynasty, so he nodded and agreed. However, he wanted to ask him how long he needed so as not to delay the campaign against King Fenghe.

"It could take anywhere from ten days to half a month, or at most a month..." Zhuge Xiang replied, his tone full of confidence.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's not delay. You should temporarily enter the Demon Sealing Tower for seclusion. For Cultivator, nothing is more important than cultivation, and I understand that..." After pondering for a moment, the emperor agreed, thinking that the King Fenghe wouldn't be able to cause much trouble in a month at most.

In the emperor's view, rather than taking down King Fenghe with lightning speed, it would be better to wait and force King Fenghe to recruit soldiers and strengthen his power to oppose him, which would further confirm his words and his rebellious intentions, and make his actions more justifiable.

As for him actually being able to rebel against me? What a joke! A mere prince, could he really overthrow the emperor so easily?

In just one month, whether it was a good time or a bad time, he had already made a move to rebel. Now that the emperor had a clear reason to take action against him, he naturally agreed to Zhuge Xiang's request without any objection.

The Demon Sealing Tower was a National Artifact of the Great Tang Dynasty. Three Imperial Preceptor personally cast spells to summon the Demon Sealing Tower from the Void.

A rift appeared in the Void, and a colossal tower about Thousand Zhang tall emerged, hovering in mid-air and casting a large shadow that almost Zhedang half of Chang'an City. The enormous Treasure Pagoda was like a giant Giant Sword standing between Heaven and Earth.

The Treasure Pagoda is entirely black, without any carvings or Runes. It looks simple, but it exudes an incomparably magnificent Righteous Haoran Qi.

The National Artifact is not only a product of its own power, but also a embodiment of the nation's faith. With its Righteous Haoran Qi alone, it is enough to make all Evil Demon in the world retreat. No wonder it can suppress and seal away endless Evil Demon.

"Fellow Daoist Zhuge, please be careful..." The door of the Demon Sealing Tower quietly opened, and the three Imperial Preceptor spoke to Zhuge Xiang.

For thousands of years, countless ferocious demons and Evil Demon have been suppressed and sealed within this Demon Sealing Tower. Although Zhuge Xiang is exceptionally capable, his cultivation level is only at the Gathering Origin Stage.

"Don't worry!" Nodding, Zhuge Xiang soared through the air without hesitation, his figure shooting into the Demon Sealing Tower. As the doors opened, he felt an immense and terrifying surge of fierce flames and Demonic Qi Righteous Qi towards him.

Thump!

As Zhuge Xiang entered the Demon Sealing Tower through the door, the Three Great Imperial Preceptors cast another Demon Sealing Tower, closing the Demon Sealing Tower's doors and sending it back into the Void, Demon Sealing Tower form...

"Is this the Demon Sealing Tower?" Upon entering, Zhuge Xiang opened his eyes and looked around. Inside the pitch-black Demon Sealing Tower, it was so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face, and the air was damp, filled with a faint demonic Demonic Qi. This tower, Thousand Zhang tall, must have suppressed countless terrifying Evil Demon within it; no one could possibly count them all.

"Thud!" Suddenly, Zhuge Xiang suffered a severe blow to his shoulder, blood splattering everywhere. Caught off guard, Zhuge Xiang groaned, his shoulder feeling as if it had been torn apart by a wild beast, leaving a bloody, deep wound that exposed the bone.

In the darkness, Zhuge Xiang could vaguely hear chewing sounds. He wondered what kind of monster was tearing a piece of flesh from his shoulder and chewing it.

"What is that?" Zhuge Xiang was in excruciating pain as a chunk of flesh was ripped from his shoulder. However, he had no time to care about the wound. Zhuge Xiang 'Zhuge Xiang Divine Sense Divine Sense spread out like Zhuge Xiang, completely enveloping the surrounding space. Yet, he couldn't detect any other presences.

Tear...

Blood splattered, and excruciating pain shot through him. Although Zhuge Xiang instinctively sensed danger and shifted to the side, a piece of flesh was still torn from his left arm. His Divine Sense failed to detect the target's presence, and in the pitch-black darkness, he could see nothing at all.

"Southern Departure Finger!" Zhuge Xiang knew Flame Spell. His highly compressed True Essence surged, suddenly igniting a raging Flame at his fingertips. Using the light of the Flame, Zhuge Xiang looked around...

It was still pitch black! This surprised Zhuge Xiang. The Flame burned brightly, but the light couldn't spread outwards, nor could it illuminate the surroundings. Could it be that if he really wanted to see clearly, he would have to set everything around him Flame?

"It seems that this special environment can block out light? Moreover, the guy who ambushes in the dark can block Divine Sense detection..." With the Flame unable to illuminate the surroundings and Divine Sense unable to detect him, Zhuge Xiang finally understood his predicament.

"But do you think I can't handle you just like that?" Although he couldn't see with his eyes, couldn't detect with his Divine Sense, and could barely hear with his ears, Zhuge Xiang showed no sign of panic. Don't forget, Zhuge Xiang also had another ability: Mini-Map Radar!

Zhuge Xiang rarely uses the map function, almost as if it were useless, but for Zhuge Xiang now, it is the most useful ability.

Zhuge Xiang activated the Mini-Map Radar function. A green dot was clearly visible in the very center of the Mini-Map Radar. Looking further to his left and about twenty meters ahead, a pale red dot was slowly approaching him.

"This guy is pretty strong. He's mastered the First Layer of the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique, and with his strong defense, he can even tear things apart." With his eyes closed, Zhuge Xiang focused his attention on the Mini-Map Radar, keeping an eye on the opponent's movements.

Call out!

It moved! The red dot on the Mini-Map Radar suddenly moved, hurtling towards me at incredible speed. I couldn't hear its footsteps, I couldn't see it, and I couldn't even detect it with my Divine Sense.

Demon Subduing Sword Art!

Zhuge Xiang Slaying Luo Sword in his hand. The Slaying Luo Sword, Lingbao treasure, was originally a treasure of the Asura Path, but at this moment, it emitted a golden and holy Sword Light, shooting straight toward the red dot without the slightest deviation.

The sound of Sword Light slicing through flesh, accompanied by shrill screams, echoed in the deathly silence. This Demon Subduing Sword Art had a double damage effect on those with dark attributes.

With Zhuge Xiang's current cultivation level at the Gathering Origin Stage and the support of his powerful equipment, this Demon Subduing Sword Qi is still extremely powerful.

"Ding! You have defeated Five-Star Fairy Shadow Spider, gaining 1,020,000 experience points."

Mechanical System Prompt sounded in Zhuge Xiang's mind. Hearing this notification, Zhuge Xiang finally knew what had attacked him. No wonder it could tear his flesh apart; it turned out to be a Five-Star Fairy.

"Shadow Spider? I didn't expect there to be such a powerful Demonic Creatures within this Demon Sealing Tower." Information about the Shadow Spider flashed through Zhuge Xiang's mind as he murmured to himself. (To be continued...)
