*Boom... Boom...*
The eleven guardians attacked Ling Yun directly using various elents, but a transparent black barrier enveloped his body and absorbed them.
"I didn't expect to get this Chaos Devouring Domain after Jin Zhongli unlocked one of the seals in my bloodline. This domain can devour all Qi, attacks, and even laws." Ling Yun then looked at the devil guardian and stretched his left hand forward, writing sothing in the air using his dark elent. "Chaos Sealing Rune."
In that instant, a black block appeared above the devil guardian, absorbed him into it, and sealed him.
Ling Yun then wrote sothing else. "Chaos Destruction Rune."
*Boom*
The black block exploded as soon as Ling Yun said that, and the devil guardian disappeared with it. The other ten guardians imdiately surrounded him and attacked him again using ten different elents, but instead he canceled the domain.
*Boom... Boom...*
The guardians' attacks heavily hit Ling Yun's body, leaving so minor injuries.
"Chaos Blood Regeneration is truly useful." Ling Yun muttered as he watched the injuries on his body disappear on their own. "Its effects are similar to my fast regeneration, but this new ability heals my injuries much faster. However, I still won't be able to recover from having my limbs cut off, and I will die if I'm beheaded."
Since Ling Yun was unhard, the guardians attacked him again, and their attacks were stronger than the previous ones. Like before, their attack only gave him minor injuries, which were imdiately recovered on their own.
Ling Yun moved in front of the light guardian, turned his left hand into a dragon claw, and pressed it against his chest. "Chaos Annihilation Claw."
The light guardian's body slowly disappeared, and he disappeared completely in just a few seconds, as if being erased from reality.
"This ti I gained four new abilities, and I looked forward to the other abilities after Taiyang Jinwu and the others unlocked the other seals." After that, Ling Yun attacked the rest of the guardians, and it was too easy for him to defeat them with his current strength. After all, their strength was limited to the venerate realm, and the current him could easily deal with the cultivators in the five god realms.
A golden chest imdiately appeared in the middle of the room after Ling Yun defeated all the guardians. He hurriedly opened it, and four items flew out from inside.
[Golden Lotus of Vitality: A lotus that regrows severed limbs and ridians, even the dead ones.]
[War Talisman: Boosts battle power for a short duration.]
[Tortoise Life-Saving Shell: Protects the user from a fatal strike, but it can only be used once.]
[Soul Bewitching Flute: Bestows a mind-controlling lody technique.]
"Hmm?" Ling Yun raised an eyebrow. "I'll keep the lotus and the talisman for myself, and I'll give the tortoise shell to Xiao'er. Since Qiuling is the only cultivator who uses lody for offense and defense, the flute will suit her."
Ling Yun went to the third floor, and the eleven guardians once again appeared there. Their strength was equivalent to cultivators at the high heavenly god realm, but they were no threat to him, and he could slaughter them in just a matter of seconds.
Ling Yun then opened the golden chest that appeared in the center of the room, and he scanned the three items that appeared from within it.
[Void Shattering Sword Art: This technique can only be learned by cultivators who possess and understand the void elent, and each sub-technique is related to the void itself.]
[Pure Yin Essence Pill: Increases the quality and quantity of Yin Qi in the body by twofold.]
[Wind Escape Token: Can be used to escape in desperate situations.]
Ling Yun was excited by the Void Shattering Sword Art, and he also liked the effects of the Pure Yin Essence Pill. However, the Wind Escape Token disappointed him. "Sigh! I'll give the token to my mother or soone else."
Ling Yun went straight up to the third floor, but the door did not open, especially since the minimum requirent was the Emperor God Realm. Therefore, he decided to leave the pagoda, but several won were already waiting for him outside.
"What did you get from the second and third floors?" ng Xianzi asked him.
Ling Yun imdiately told ng Xianzi and the others about those items. "Overall, the rewards are really good, but the Wind Escape Token is useless to ."
"Look at this." ng Xianzi then took out a fairly large egg and showed it to Ling Yun. "Do you know the beast inside this egg? I've checked inside, but I don't know what kind of beast this is."
"Which floor did you get this beast egg from, master?"
"The sixth floor." Ling Yun was surprised by that, and ng Xianzi continued. "Everyone gets different amounts and types of items every ti we finish challenging each floor, and I got many items from the second to fifth floors, but I only got this egg on the sixth floor."
Ling Yun imdiately checked the beast egg through the system before telling her. "If my guess is correct, the beast inside this egg is the Dreamweaver Owl, so I think it suits you and your dream techniques."
"The Dreamweaver Owl?"
"Yeah." Ling Yun nodded at ng Xianzi. "I think you should send this beast to your dream realm, and it will probably hatch faster there."
"All right." ng Xianzi instantly disappeared from their sight.
Ling Yun then questioned the other woman. "Did you guys get anything good on the 6th floor?"
"This is the best of the three items I got on the 6th floor." Wang Tianshi showed Ling Yun a technique book.
Ling Yun imdiately took the book from Wang Tianshi and read every page in it. "This sword technique emphasizes severing feelings and achieving absolute detachnt from worldly emotions. One must abandon all sentints—love, hate, fear, and even the instinct of self-preservation—to attain the state of perfection. Are you considering learning this sword technique? In my opinion, severing feelings and detaching ourselves from worldly emotions are the most ridiculous things."
"Hehe." Wang Tianshi chuckled and took the book. "Unlike you, I don't need such feelings and emotions, and I will do anything to reach the highest point in sword cultivation, including sacrificing them."
"That is your choice, but I advise you not to learn that sword technique. Life is too beautiful, and feelings make us more alive." Wang Tianshi only smiled at Ling Yun. "What did you get there, Senior Jian?"
"A no-na book." Ling Yun raised an eyebrow in surprise, and Jian Xian showed him the book. "Even though this book doesn't have a na, every sub-technique in it is clearly a sword technique. However, I have been a sword cultivator for so long, and I have studied so many sword techniques, but I have never seen one as complicated as this."
Intrigued by it, Ling Yun seriously read every page of the no-na book. Even though he was not a true swordmaster, he could see that every technique in the book was indeed complicated. "This sword technique relies on nothingness, and we must detach ourselves from this universe. To learn this technique, we must erase our aura, intent, and even existence itself. That way, we will truly beco one with nothingness; our attack will be unpredictable and almost impossible to sense."
"Yes." Jian Xian nodded in agreent with Ling Yun. "ng Xianzi told that she has passed down her dream technique to you, and you mastered it more deeply than her. I hope you can send there, and I will learn this technique there."
"I will send you to the dream technique after this, and I will try to learn the technique using my clones." Ling Yun turned to Mu Yan. "What about you, sister-in-law?"
Mu Yan imdiately took out a small golden bell. "I got this Clockwork Bell on the sixth floor. It can freeze, slow down, or accelerate ti for a certain duration. However, I have to wait quite a long ti before I can use it again, as it is only available once a month."
"This golden bell is surely overpowered." Ling Yun stated this while examining the bell. "Regardless of the duration, you must keep this bell safe, especially since anything related to ti would be terrible if it fell into the wrong hands. Moreover, it will save you if you are in a critical situation."
"I know." Mu Yan nodded and put away the golden bell again. "By the way, I also want to enter your dream space, especially since I obtained a technique in the pagoda. However, it has already entered my mind, so I can't show it to you."
After that, Ling Yun and the two won went to one of the guest rooms, and he sent them into the dream space. He then went to see Long Yuyi, who was cultivating in her room. "How do you feel? Is the devil seed affecting you more and more?"
"Yes." Long Yuyi imdiately got out of bed, stood in front of Ling Yun, and took his hand. "Please, bind my soul with your devil soul, or the devil seed will control one day."
Ling Yun didn't want to do that, especially since Long Yuyi's life would be bound to his. However, he was confident in his ability to protect himself, and he believed it was preferable to prevent her from falling under the control of the devil seed. "Let's do it now."
