Su Mu clenched his fists slightly, carefully sensing the sensation.
It was clear that the Spiritual Power in his body had become much more condensed, like a thick, sticky liquid.
At first glance, the Spiritual Power seemed to shimmer with a crystalline light.
Looking at my own body, it was flushed with a slight reddish hue, and I could feel how hot it was.
"If you want to continue your body tempering training, you'd better get to the upper levels as soon as possible. There are many more cultivators entering the upper levels this time, so if you go late, the body tempering effect will be greatly reduced."
Just as Su Mu was feeling the changes in his body, a voice suddenly rang in his ears.
The voice was familiar; it belonged to Devil Lord Ye.
The amount of spiritual flame that each floor of the Tower of Ten Thousand Fires can provide for cultivators is fixed, but once there are too many cultivators...
If everyone shares the profits equally, the effectiveness of the cultivation will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, the earlier you start cultivating on the earlier levels, the better the cultivation effect will be.
If we go up later, we'll only be able to get some soup.
Without a fixed spiritual feast tempering process to increase one's fire resistance, it becomes difficult to continue climbing higher.
This is also why none of these cultivators initially cultivated on the first level.
Cultivating on the next level earlier yields better results than on the first level, and resources won't be snatched up by others. Once you've finished cultivating, you can move on to the next level.
That explains why he hardly competed with Su Mu on the first floor.
The first layer is not particularly useful for them, and it can even slow down their progress.
Since one's abilities are limited, one can only reach a few levels. Spending a few more minutes cultivating on the earlier levels will be more effective than cultivating at the lower levels.
"If your abilities are limited, this is fine, don't force yourself."
Devil Lord Ye paused, then sent another message to Su Mu telepathically.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu took a deep breath.
He had originally planned to rest here for a while before going up to the next floor.
It seems that's not feasible now; he needs to go directly to the next level to continue his cultivation.
Otherwise, by the time he gets up there, there might be nothing left.
With that in mind, Su Mu quickly went to the third floor.
Su Mu had just arrived at the third level when he immediately looked around and saw that he was surrounded by spiritual flames, and could not see anything to his left or right.
Upon seeing this, Su Mu was immediately horrified. He knew that his eyes had been covered by spiritual flames.
However, his strength was insufficient to break through this spiritual flame.
As a result, he is now unable to see and hear anything.
It appears that his ears have also been eroded.
Moreover, Su Mu's Divine Sense was now enveloped in Divine Sense flames, preventing him from probing his surroundings.
Such power
Su Mu's expression changed immediately. The intensity of the spiritual flame on the third level was many times stronger than he had imagined!
"Look at that Holy Son, he's actually reached the third level too. Judging from his appearance, he's probably already suffered on the third level."
"Does he really think this third level is so easy to reach? We Mid Core Formation cultivators only dare to come to the third level after we've cultivated enough on the second level. This guy is only at the Early Core Formation, and he's only tempered himself on the lower levels. Does he really think he can come to the third level?"
"He overestimated himself. Once he learns what he's got, he'll realize that this third level is not a place for him."
In front of Su Mu, countless cultivators were sitting cross-legged amidst the spiritual flames.
At this moment, all their hair had been burned off, and at a glance, it looked as if the place was full of bald monks.
Some of the female cultivators' hair was also completely burned off, making it difficult to immediately determine their gender based solely on their appearance.
The cultivators all burst into laughter as they looked at Su Mu, who had just arrived.
They all knew that Su Mu's six senses were sealed at this moment, meaning he couldn't see, hear, touch, or feel anything.
This was also what they experienced when they first came up here.
Fortunately, they survived, and now, seeing Su Mu's disheveled state, they couldn't help but feel a desire to mock him.
Su Mu naturally couldn't hear these sounds.
After a moment of panic, he quickly calmed down.
Although it is extremely dangerous for a cultivator to have their Divine Sense sealed, it is still a serious matter.
But Su Mu couldn't care less about that at the moment, and gritted his teeth to sit cross-legged and begin cultivating.
Even before he began cultivating, his physical body was already undergoing rigorous tempering, turning as red-hot as steel.
It opened its mouth casually, as if it were about to breathe out a mouthful of flame.
Su Mu felt extremely agitated.
The Spiritual Power within his body had barely begun to circulate when it surged forth like a volcanic eruption, rushing wildly into Su Mu's body.
Su Mu's Divine Sense was instantly enveloped by countless spiritual flames.
This time, Su Mu felt as if he were in Pill Furnace, with these spiritual flames trying to turn him into a pill!
The cultivators sitting nearby watched the spectacle with amusement; no one believed that Su Mu could persevere.
This is not to belittle Su Mu; it is the experience of the predecessors who have entered this place to cultivate over thousands of years.
For a cultivator in the Early Core Formation, reaching this point is already quite impressive.
But to stay on this level and slowly refine oneself, what kind of special ability could one possibly achieve that?
Absolutely impossible!
Su Mu's face was contorted in pain as he tried to roar to the sky, but no sound came out when he opened his mouth.
Su Mu couldn't help but feel a sense of fear, because he truly felt the sensation of death.
The spiritual flames within his Divine Sense seemed intent on burning away his very soul.
If even his soul is burned away, wouldn't he, along with the Earth, die along with it?
However, giving up like that wasn't his style.
Su Mu gritted his teeth, sat down, took a deep breath, and returned directly to Earth.
Earth.
The moment Su Mu opened her eyes, she gasped for breath, then looked around.
Everything was perfectly normal, and the spiritual flame within his Divine Sense had not been brought over.
Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief. If he could rest here for a while before heading over, the tempering process in the Tower of Ten Thousand Fires would be much easier.
I wonder if my physical body, which I left behind, continued to be tempered by the spiritual flames after I arrived?
I just hope it doesn't damage my physical body during the tempering process.
With this thought in mind, Su Mu calmed himself down and prepared to rest for a while before going back to experience it.
If the tempering by the spiritual flames continues, it will not cause any damage to the physical body.
Then cultivating like this isn't bad either.
After all, the difficulty of the third level was indeed beyond Su Mu's imagination, and those cultivators did not belittle him.
This level of tempering was beyond his capacity to withstand.
When Su Mu had just reached the third level, his soul could no longer withstand the tempering of the spiritual flames.
