Inside the Moon Blossom Pagoda.
Ling Xiao slowly opened his eyes.
Transcendent Realm Eighth Layer Peak.
That was his current cultivation level.
After a round of assimilation and transformation, his cultivation level had advanced from the early stage of the Transcendent Realm’s Eighth Layer to the late stage, a rise that was sowhat difficult.
Before this, this amount of energy would have been enough to take him directly from the Transcendent Realm’s First Layer all the way to the Sixth Layer.
Indeed, the further one went, the slower the progression beca.
It would have been infuriating for anyone to hear his thoughts on this, as no one could compare to his speed of cultivation.
Especially after reaching the Seventh Layer of the Transcendent Realm, the improvent of his cultivation beca extrely slow, but he still managed to advance to the current peak of the Transcendent Realm’s Eighth Layer in a short ti, which was truly envy-inducing.
Gathering his wits, Ling Xiao looked towards the distant prison shrouded in black fog.
According to the Moon Blossom Fairy, that was where the ancient giant beasts were imprisoned; it was probably the most dangerous place inside the Moon Blossom Pagoda, and it was likely that one would be eliminated if they went there.
However, having co this far, even if he were to be eliminated, it seed it wouldn’t be too big a deal.
With this thought, Ling Xiao leapt towards that direction.
He quickly arrived at his destination.
This place, called a prison, was more like a vast basin.
Enshrouded in black fog, the basin was several kiloters deep.
Only with the power of his Mountain and River Martial Soul was it possible for Ling Xiao to see what lay beneath the basin through the golden light flickering in his eyes.
It was sprawling primitive jungle.
Inside, a dragonfly was seven to eight ters long.
A centipede, resembling a Divine Dragon, was actually more than ten ters long.
And large, mighty creatures of the Sub-dragon species were also towering monsters.
These terrifying ancient behemoths were slaughtering each other inside, turning the area into a virtual hell.
Ling Xiao couldn’t help but swallow hard.
Because he discovered that any creature inside could easily take his life.
Even the weakest among them wielded nearly 90% of the strength of a Half-step Celestial.
"Eh? Good stuff, there are such huge Five Elental Fruits!"
Ling Xiao was shocked to find that inside the basin, there were all five elents of the Spiritual Fruits, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and the one he saw was a hundred tis larger than the one he obtained in the second trial.
It seems the effects would definitely not be lacking.
Although he feared those monsters, since Ling Xiao had already co here, it was natural that he wouldn’t leave empty-handed.
He definitely needed to go down and check the situation.
Fortunately, these creatures were not densely packed everywhere.
Many places were devoid of monsters, and as long as he could conceal his breath, it wasn’t impossible to collect more Spiritual Fruits.
With that in mind, he no longer hesitated, dived into the basin, and in an instant, landed on the ground. Using the cover of huge wild grass that was four to five ters high, Ling Xiao quickly harvested several Five Elents Spirit Fruit.
Especially the Wood Spiritual Fruit, which was what he needed the most at the mont.
Once he gathered all five types of Spiritual Fruits, he could condense the Five Elental Body. At that ti, his elental resistance would leap qualitatively, laying a solid foundation for advancing to the Heavenly Man Realm.
The stronger his body, the higher his resistance to various elents, which would naturally increase his chances of condensing the "Heavenly Pulse."
Before long, Ling Xiao had collected several dozen varying types of Spiritual Fruits, enough to last him for a while.
Just as he was preparing to leave the place, a huge Cold Pond caught his eye.
From his experience, a Cold Pond brimming with such energy was bound to contain treasures.
Why not check it out?
After all, "who cos to a treasure mountain and leaves with empty hands!"
Now that he, Ling Xiao, was the only one left inside the Moon Blossom Pagoda, there was no need to worry about anyone coming to disturb him. He could search for treasures freely and boldly.
Moreover, the higher the cultivation level, the more resources were required. Even though he had gained so much this ti, it was estimated that it wouldn’t be long before he would be strapped for resources again.
The cultivation of martial artists not only relied on effort and talent but also on a large amount of resources to maintain it.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao urged his soul power to enter the Cold Pond.
This was the safest course of action.
Because he didn’t know what dangers lurked within the Cold Pond, rashly diving in might cost him his life.
Boom!
"What! My soul power was actually crushed!"
Ling Xiao was taken aback.
His soul power was very strong, not even weaker than a master of the Heavenly Man Realm, yet it was directly crushed by an even more powerful soul power after diving less than ten ters deep.
This was enough to indicate that the thing below was incredibly powerful!
With that thought in mind, Ling Xiao simply took out a Seal Card and released the Extraordinary Swordsman.
This was a half-step Heavenly being at fifty percent strength. If even this fellow couldn’t penetrate deep into the Cold Pond, then there was no need for him to go down.
The monsters released from the Seal Card were in tune with their master’s thoughts and soul.
Therefore, whatever the Extraordinary Swordsman saw, Ling Xiao could also see clearly.
Crack! Crack!
The Cold Pond was indeed extrely cold.
As soon as the Extraordinary Swordsman entered the water, he could feel the biting cold continuously attacking him, as if trying to freeze him solid.
Fortunately, this was a half-step Heavenly being. With a shake of his True Essence, the ice forming on the surface of his body quickly shattered.
However, Ling Xiao felt not the slightest bit relaxed.
This was rely the beginning of entering the water, and he didn’t know what terrifying things lay further below.
When the Extraordinary Swordsman dived to a depth of three or four hundred ters, the horrifying pressure and cold made Ling Xiao shiver involuntarily.
It was not the pressure of the water, but sothing seeping out from the bottom of the Cold Pond. If he wasn’t wrong, it had to be a precious item.
Otherwise, it couldn’t have been so terrifying.
Ling Xiao’s eyes flickered with strong black and golden light, injecting more soul power into the body of the Extraordinary Swordsman. In doing so, he could help the Extraordinary Swordsman withstand so of the pressure. Otherwise, relying solely on the Extraordinary Swordsman, it was estimated he couldn’t dive directly to the bottom.
Four hundred ters!
Five hundred ters!
Six hundred ters!
...
Only when they reached a depth of one kiloter did the movents of the Extraordinary Swordsman beco exceedingly stiff.
Ling Xiao frowned slightly and condensed a trace of black Hellfire into the soul power he injected into the Extraordinary Swordsman.
Upon the arrival of the flas, the movents of the Extraordinary Swordsman imdiately beca smooth again.
If not for the fear of the black Hellfire completely destroying the Extraordinary Swordsman, Ling Xiao would have injected even more.
But now it should have been enough.
Nevertheless, at this point, the bottom of the Cold Pond had still not been reached!
Ling Xiao cautiously urged the Extraordinary Swordsman to continue diving and cast the Mountain River Will to protect him.
With the strength of a half-step Heavenly being, which was already strong, coupled with the protection from Ling Xiao’s will, which was by no ans weaker than that of a Heavenly Man Realm master, he finally reached the deepest part.
"Good, we’ve reached the bottom at last. Now I really want to see what it is at the bottom of the Cold Pond that makes it so terrifying."
Through the eyes of the Extraordinary Swordsman, Ling Xiao saw that the bottom of the Cold Pond was mostly made of soft sand and soil, but there was one place where there was a dark stone.
Any other person might have ignored this stone entirely.
But Ling Xiao couldn’t help but exclaim.
