It took Qin Lingyun three days to understand the general idea of the forbidden area and the steps to enter it.

  "This seal is extremely powerful, with a total of three thousand linked seals. Once triggered, the entire body will be affected, making it almost impossible to pass through." The Star Emperor said slowly.

  Qin Lingyun wondered: "Since it's impassable, why did the Huangji Sealing Heaven Tower set up this kind of level? What is the purpose of the Huangji Sealing Heaven Tower?"

  Qin Lingyun couldn't help but feel puzzled. Originally, she thought that the restrictions set by the Huangji Tower were to cultivate new generations of cultivators. Now thinking about it, even if it was just the first few layers, as a means of cultivating cultivators, it seemed too cruel. And this sixth layer, most cultivators who accidentally stumbled upon it would likely return empty-handed, because those who could make it to the sixth layer were basically extremely cautious and wouldn't recklessly take big steps forward.

  At first, they will basically try to probe a bit, and if there is danger, it's unlikely to step in easily.

  But is it really the purpose of the Huangji Pagoda to return empty-handed? Qin Lingyun didn't quite understand this point.

  Xingdi said: "Why the Huangji Seal Heaven Tower is doing this, no one knows, and I don't know either. However, I can be certain that even if a Qi Refining Cultivator tries to force their way through this restricted area, they won't succeed. Not to mention Qi Refining Cultivators, even a Xian Tian Cultivator who doesn't understand the method will fail."

  "Even a cultivator of the Transcendent Realm can't achieve it, must one become an Immortal Sage to succeed?"

  "I don't know, three thousand restrictive links, a killing array with one ring linked to another, ingenious design, all filled with the trajectory of the Great Way. I can only tell you one way to walk, this one can get a picture scroll into the seventh layer, look, it's that one." Xing Emperor pointed to a painting on the wall.

  On the painting, a three-headed snake demon was vividly depicted. The snake's body stood upright, wearing icy blue armor like a human. The three snake heads were surrounded by icy blue cold air, and their eyes were all round and open, revealing an aura of ferocity and cruelty.

  On the snake's body, there were two more paws. One paw held a jade staff and the other grasped a blue long sword. The snake's tail stood upright on the ground like a leg.

  "What kind of demon is that?" Qin Lingyun exclaimed in surprise.

  "The Ice Scaled Snake Demon King of the Central Continent of Langya, once the ruler of the three-headed ice scaled snake demons. Now his physical body has disappeared and his divine spirit is sealed within this painting." The Star Emperor's tone was filled with a hint of nostalgia.

  "Isn't it going to run out of the painting?" Qin Lingyun was somewhat worried that this extraordinary demon would escape from the painting, and as long as its primordial spirit wasn't destroyed, it would be equivalent to not having died. Once it left the seal, it wouldn't be something Qin Lingyun could handle.

  "It won't leave, the seal is very solid." Xingdi shook his head and said.

  On the walls of the entire sixth floor, there were also hanging more than a hundred scrolls, each of which sealed an extraordinary demon. It was unknown what kind of means the Huangji Sealing Heaven Tower had used to seal so many extraordinary demons.

  Qin Lingyun carefully followed the method taught by Xingdi and entered the sixth layer, her body shape suddenly advancing and retreating, left and right, her hand gestures and footsteps not deviating by half a step. After taking only three steps, Qin Lingyun's forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, this kind of mental pressure was indescribable.

  "Qin Xiaoyun seems to be proficient in array methods and restrictions, if it were her, would she be able to rush in?" Qin Lingyun thought: "It shouldn't work, many of the means inside are no longer something that a Qi-refining cultivator can unravel, the realm is not enough, and it will never be reached. If it weren't for Xingdi's guidance, even if I had comprehended it for hundreds of years, I'm afraid it would have been useless."

  After more than twenty steps, Qin Lingyun finally arrived under the painting scroll, reached out to lift the scroll, and gazed at the vividly lifelike, round-eyed Ice Scale Snake Demon King. Qin Lingyun felt a sense of emotion: "A generation of demon kings was actually sealed away like this."

  Just as she reached out to lift the painting, Qin Lingyun's mind buzzed, feeling her primordial spirit being sucked in by a strange force. Then she found herself floating above a vast and boundless land.

  In the distance, a gigantic three-headed serpent demon over a thousand zhang tall, wearing icy blue armor, roared towards the sky, causing the entire ground to shake violently. Enormous mountain peaks collapsed one after another, and the ground cracked open with massive fissures, spewing out scorching hot magma that instantly solidified into rocks under the chilling aura emanating from the serpent demon's body.

  The earth seemed to be torn apart, and the staff in the snake demon's hand waved every time, with countless ice cones flying in the air, a strong wind blew, dark clouds flew in the sky, a scene of doomsday.

  And on the other claw was a blue long sword that every time it slashed out, there were large tracts of mountain peaks collapsing, and the ground was fragmented.

  Qin Lingyun was like a bystander, witnessing all of this, her eyes dazed and her spirit bewildered. Such power was beyond the ordinary, it had already transcended the power of mortals.

  But what shocked her was that in front of the Ice Scale Snake Demon King, a man wearing a yellow robe symbolizing the imperial family and a crown on his head floated in mid-air. No matter how terrifying and brutal the Ice Scale Snake Demon King's attacks were, this man seemed to be like a gentle breeze, doing nothing but quietly floating there, letting all sorts of attacks collide with him.

  No matter what kind of attack it was, as long as it got close to him, it would naturally disappear.

  "Huang Ji Tian, what exactly do you mean? Why did you enter my Ice Scale Snake Valley and slaughter my people? Even if I'm not your match, I'll fight to the death and perish together with you."

  The man named Huang Jitian had a flash of disappointment on his face, and slowly said: "I thought that the Ice Scale Snake Demon King, who had been famous for a long time, would have some skills, but it's nothing more than this. He didn't even understand the intention of the refined spirit, let alone the mysterious intention. His Taoist thoughts are unstable, and he can't communicate with the heavens and the earth. In his lifetime, he will never be able to enter the realm of mystery. Forget it, I'll seal you up to respond to the situation in the future."

  Huang Ji Tian stretched out a finger from his sleeve, and in the air, a phantom painting scroll appeared. The illusory painting scroll slowly turned into reality, and the body of the Ice Scale Snake Demon King suddenly burst apart. A speck of essence flew from inside his body into the painting scroll...

  Qin Lingyun's body shook, and the scene of the sixth layer slowly appeared in front of her eyes, as if everything that had just happened was non-existent. Her forehead throbbed with a tearing pain, and in just a moment, her primordial spirit became so weak that it almost suffered irreparable damage.

  "What happened?" A look of anxiety flashed in Xingdi's eyes.

  Feeling the Emperor's genuine concern, Qin Lingyun's heart warmed up, and she shook her head saying: "I'm fine." Then, Qin Lingyun told the Emperor everything that had just happened.

  Xing Di said after a while, "I once told you that after passing the heavenly tribulation in the realm of Huashen, one becomes a Xian, and the subsequent realms are Jingpo, Shen Huan, Bu Mie, Xu Du, and Yu Hua Deng Xian. That Ice Scale Snake Demon King is indeed a true Xian, a Xian of the Jingpo realm, while that yellow-robed man should be a Xian of the Shen Huan realm."

  Qin Lingyun said: "The two are just a boundary apart, why is the gap so big?"

  "Xu Xian and mortal cultivators are different, with each step of the realm being vastly different. Xu Xian's cultivation is also completely different from that of mortal cultivators. Mortal cultivators can rely on dan medicine, ling stones, and other things to cultivate, but for Xu Xian, aside from some spiritual elixirs, the most important thing in advancing through each layer of the realm is a single word: enlightenment. As for how exactly, I'm not too clear myself." said Star Emperor Dao.

  Qin Lingyun put away the painting, sat cross-legged on the floor, and activated her spiritual power to replenish her depleted energy. After two hours, Qin Lingyun, now fully spirited, shifted her gaze to the other side, where a wooden staircase leading up had appeared against the wall, identical to the one she had climbed to reach the sixth floor earlier.

  Qin Lingyun raised her head and glanced around, saying: "What about the rest of the paintings? Why can't I see any of them?"

  "When you unroll one of the scrolls, the rest will disappear and the seal will be temporarily lifted. You can ascend to the seventh level now." said Xingdi.

  Qin Lingyun didn't hesitate much and directly walked towards the direction of the stairs.

  Stepping on the wooden stairs, a rustic atmosphere has already come down from above.

  Qin Lingyun walked all the way to the top of the stairs and in her line of sight, the seventh floor appeared before her eyes.

  "This is the seventh floor? Why is it almost the same as the sixth floor?" Qin Lingyun had thought that she would encounter some strange scene, but when she actually reached the seventh floor, she found that the seventh floor was so ordinary. The entire structure was almost identical to the sixth floor, with the only difference being that there were no paintings hanging on the walls. It seemed that the entire seventh floor was just a sealed space.

  "The man in green said that he couldn't calculate the scene of this seventh layer, and also mentioned that there was a broken small iron piece inside. He also said that over tens of thousands of years, only about ten cultivators have entered the seventh layer throughout the entire Langya world. It seems that he didn't know the real situation either. I think it's impossible for anyone to break through the sixth layer, so how could there be around ten cultivators who have entered the seventh layer?"

  Qin Lingyun didn't know at that time that the sixth floor was almost impassable, and thought that what the man in green said was all true. Now it seems that there is too much water in it.

  But Xingdi smiled and said, "What he said is not wrong, indeed more than a dozen cultivators have entered the seventh layer, to be exact, eleven cultivators have entered the seventh layer."

  "How do you know so much? Xingdi, I'm getting more and more curious, what kind of person are you? Are you the Star Emperor who was sealed in the Ice Jade Magic Palace in the Void Heaven Temple 10,000 years ago?" Qin Lingyun's eyes flickered with a hint of doubt.

  Xingdi nodded, but a hint of profound smile appeared at the corner of his lips: "Yes, I am still the familiar Xingdi Zushi to you, but I am not just Xingdi Zushi..."

  "What are you then? An immortal? A demon?" Qin Lingyun said.

  "I won't tell you now, but there will be a day when you'll find out, and then you'll understand everything," said Xingdi.

  Qin Lingyun helplessly shook her head, Xingdi didn't say anything, and she had no way out either.
