"He knows me? Probably just that one time when we escaped from Xuan Du City." Qin Lingyun thought to herself.
Miao Yi'er and Lei Zhen didn't pay much attention to it either. Since Dugu Jue said he knew the female cultivator, whether or not a small ant was let in wasn't that important anymore.
"Then go ahead." Mo Yier waved her hand casually.
Her eyes, like a lone star, held a hint of a gentle smile. The last time in Xuan Du City's shocking glance, this woman as cold as ice and snow left a deep impression on him. He thought he would never see her again, after all, the world of cultivators was too vast, and he was always in a hurry, plus the difficulty of cultivation, certainly didn't have much time to wander around, and it was unlikely that they would meet again in the vast sea of people.
But I didn't expect to meet again in front of the Huangji Tower, Dugu Xue was deeply impressed by this strange woman in his heart, perhaps it was her coldness, or her stubborn and uncompromising eyes, or something else.
But Dugu felt that this woman had some kind of similar quality to him, seemingly both being the type of people who defy heaven and dare to challenge it, acting with boldness and caution. In the past, in Xuandu City, under such difficult circumstances, she calmly left, and when she glanced back at him, it left a deep impression on him.
Qin Lingyun's blood slowly cooled down at this moment, and in the face of absolute power, words were pale and powerless.
Silently, she bowed to Du Gu Xue and then headed towards the entrance of the Huang Ji Feng Tian Tower.
"Slow down, you don't understand the rules, kneel down and pay your respects." Miao Yi'er didn't care at first, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of Qin Lingyun's stubborn eyes, and also saw the somewhat abnormal gaze that Du Gu Xiwang was staring at Qin Lingyun with. All of this made Miao Yi'er secretly angry, and she couldn't help but have a mind to make things difficult.
Qin Lingyun's footsteps paused, originally she didn't have much resentment towards Miao Yier, but now hearing Miao Yier's words, a surge of anger rose from the bottom of her heart. This was an outright humiliation, she couldn't possibly remain unmoved. Her rationality firmly suppressed the impulse, preventing her from doing something irreparable.
Seeing Qin Lingyun didn't make a sound, Miao Yier waved her palm and a massive pressure acted on Qin Lingyun's legs.
Qin Lingyun's whole body shook, and she couldn't help but kneel down on the ground, but her dignity wouldn't allow it. So all of her spiritual energy started circulating, yet still couldn't suppress it, and her body slowly bent downwards.
"Miao Yi'er, you've gone too far. You're just a minor cultivator in the Refining Qi stage, why use such methods?" Dugu Yue's finger pointed out, and Qin Lingyun's power instantly dissipated, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Miao Yi'er smiled and said, "Dugu Big Brother, I just wanted to test her strength. If she can't even withstand this little pressure, going into the Imperial Extreme Heaven Tower would be suicidal. It's all good intentions." Miao Yi'er originally wanted to humiliate Qin Lingyun, but didn't want to leave a bad impression on Dugu Absolute Heart, so she casually found an excuse.
Dugu shook his hand and said, "Alright, that's it, no more. There are still many people waiting to get in."
Qin Lingyun no longer had the power of suppression, and a blue light flashed on her body as she flew towards the entrance.
"Miao Yi'er, I remember you. You wait, and one day when I condense my yuan fetus, I will return today's humiliation a thousandfold."
Qin Lingyun entered the Huangji Fengtian Tower with unparalleled resentment, while Miao Yier outside was secretly wondering why she suddenly became angry.
"It's really not worth it for a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage to get angry."
Miao Yi'er turned her head and forgot all about it. Her behavior was a subconscious jealousy, but the specific reason wasn't important. To her, this was just an episode, not worth mentioning.
As soon as Qin Lingyun entered the pitch-black tower gate, the black curtain in front of her suddenly rippled like water and twisted, revealing a fiery red world before her eyes.
Everywhere was surging with scorching magma, only a few large boulders were floating on the surface of the magma.
And she is now standing on one of the large stones, the air is extremely hot, Qin Lingyun's icy spiritual power is greatly suppressed here, but after circulating in her body for a while, the heat in her body slowly dissipates, and she feels much cooler.
Qin Lingyun did not make any rash moves, her eyes scanning the surroundings, and in the distance, there were many cultivators lingering on top of a large stone slab.
Looking further ahead, a volcano was seen burning fiercely, continuously spewing out magma and large clouds of black smoke, with a strong smell of sulfur flowing everywhere.
"Is this the first level of the Imperial Heaven Tower? It's going to be a world of magma?"
Qin Lingyun did not expect that the first floor would have such a terrible environment, this so-called first floor was actually just a small world.
"Is all of this just an illusion?" Qin Lingyun asked softly.
Suddenly a golden light flew out of the spiritual beast bag, and the little golden beast sat on Qin Lingyun's shoulder, gesturing to her.
"Isn't it an illusion?" Qin Lingyun asked.
The little golden beast opened its big watery eyes and nodded slightly.
The Golden Beast has the Eye of Truth and the Ear of Mystery, ordinary illusions can't deceive it. Since this place of magma isn't an illusion, then where is the road that leads to the second layer?
It is said that the Huangji Pagoda has a large amount of wealth inside, but will such a world have magical treasures and spells?
Many doubts surged into Qin Lingyun's mind, but she didn't rush to find answers, instead, she quietly looked around.
A flash of light, a monk appeared on another floating stone slab not far away from the gate of Huangji Fentian Tower. The monk let out a cold hum and flew into the air with a burst of light.
But before he could fly more than a few dozen feet high, a fiery red sword descended from the air and pierced directly through the monk's body.
The monk let out a miserable howl, and his body was engulfed in flames, turning to ashes in an instant.
Many monks couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, they were glad that they didn't directly fly up, otherwise the one who would have been burned to death wouldn't have been that monk.
"Can't fly, lava in front and back, it seems the key is on that volcano." Qin Lingyun saw through the mystery at a glance.
Few people who can enter the Huangji Fentian Tower are foolish, so they also thought of the key point. Many cultivators began to try using their spiritual power to manipulate the stone blocks.
Using spiritual power to manipulate the boulders, they slid across the magma like small boats. Qin Lingyun grasped the trick after a slight attempt.
"Hurry up and head in the direction of the volcano, my spiritual energy is being depleted too much in this environment. If I encounter other cultivators with ill intentions, it'll be big trouble."
Qin Lingyun urged on the floating boulders, rapidly heading in the direction of the volcano.
All along the way, she saw many monks fighting and getting into a mess, but she didn't care and just went forward.
She soon arrived at the edge of the volcano, which was not very high and was still spewing out lava at this moment. Qin Ling frowned slightly, "How can we climb up such a volcano? And we can't fly."
Magma was flowing down above, Qin Lingyun felt that if she wanted to force her way up, she would be completely melted away before even reaching halfway. Now she was constantly consuming the cold ice spiritual power to resist the heat in the air.
Many cultivators have arrived at the foot of Lava Mountain, but no one dares to climb up. Qin Lingyun's eyes scanned around, but there was no sign of Mo Binglan and Wei Tianwei. The earliest batches of people who entered had already left this place, probably having already exited the first layer.
"Each floor up has a great danger, and many times after being trapped on one floor, I can only wait for the Emperor's Seal Tower to spit it out automatically. I still have to find a way to climb up, otherwise I won't be able to rush into the seventh floor, or that man in green clothes will probably vent his anger on me."
Qin Lingyun was hesitant for a moment, when the Golden Beast suddenly raised its paws and began to gesture.
"Are you saying these magma are illusions?" Qin Lingyun asked in doubt.
The little golden beast shook its head, indicating it was wrong. Qin Lingyun could only continue guessing.
After many mistakes, Qin Lingyun gradually began to understand the true meaning of the Golden Beast.
"It turned out that more than half of it was an illusion, and only a small part of the magma was real. This illusory realm is really brilliant. If it weren't for the Golden Beast, I would have had a hard time seeing through it too. And it seems that the first batch of cultivators who came in didn't see through the illusion either. It looks like the Heaven's Proud Son lives up to his name."
Qin Lingyun, since she knew that most of this place was an illusion, she had the confidence to pass through the magma and enter the second layer. With a slap on her storage bag, a white light flew out, and the small white jade shield enlarged into a large shield as tall as a person, spinning to block in front of her. At the same time, a transparent protective screen wrapped around her entire body.
"Look, that nun is going to climb this volcanic rock, let's wait and see."
"Yes, this terrifying magma, the Huangji Pagoda is really a haunted place. I, Young Master, won't be entering again."
"Some people took the lead and looked at it first. The female cultivator only had eleven layers of Qi refining, if this kind of cultivation can pass through, then our twelve layers of Qi refining will naturally also be able to pass through. If not, we'll think of another way."
The monks nearby were discussing and pointing fingers at each other, all of them had a mentality of being bystanders.
Qin Lingyun's lips curled up in a cold smile, and she thought to herself, "You think you can pass just because I can? You really take me for a soft persimmon. Just wait and see how you die."
Qin Lingyun turned her head, her whole body's icy spiritual power circulating, and rushed towards the mountain top. She sped through the magma, which reached up to her knees, constantly blocking her path, but fortunately, they were all blocked by the White Jade Small Shield.
Scorching magma and the white jade small shield's outer spiritual energy formation cancel each other out, occasionally emitting a sizzling sound.
Even if Qin Lingyu used all her strength to maintain the operation of the spiritual shield, the shield was still continuously weakening.
"The mid-grade defensive spirit artifact is almost unable to withstand it, and the heat of this magma is also too high." Qin Lingyun thought to herself.
