The Pagoda's First Battle as a Houtian Spiritual Treasure: Liang Ji Takes the Initiative

"Good!"

Liang Ji raised a hand and caught the "Thirty-Three-Layer Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda" that had been blasted down by the thunder. He quickly inspected it and confirmed that this Natal Pagoda, now promoted to a Ninth Rank Houtian Spiritual Treasure, had not been damaged by the thunder. He praised it at once, then called out:
