The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 4279: The Former Site of the Wanshen Sect

The Nine-story Demon Tower is located in the Baisha Domain, and the journey is long. Even with the use of the teleportation formation, plus Qin Yun's speed, it will take a full three hours to get there.

Shuanglu led the way, turning back to look at the others from time to time and asking, "Are you really ready?"

Qin Yun nodded: "Since we have decided to set off, we will not care about gains and losses."

Xuanyuan Shenmeng remained the same as always and nodded calmly. This time, Dongfang Tianxiang also became unusually calm. He was not afraid of the unknown danger but was extremely alert.

Along the way, Qin Yun looked at the scenery of Baisha Territory, from the desert to the snow-capped mountains, then to Wangyang, and then to the lush forests.

Every scene is breathtakingly beautiful, and there are innumerable sects of all sizes. Various auras are everywhere, and the martial arts are natural. Picking out a handyman can cause waves in other small worlds.

As they got closer to the former site of the Wanshen Sect, Shuanglu began to introduce the situation of the Nine-story Demon Tower.

She formed a fine pattern of light with her hands, which transformed into the shape of a pagoda in mid-air, and then she spoke in a calm tone.

"The Nine-Storey Demon Tower, as the name suggests, is filled with sealed monsters. Many of them are real, and many are imaginary. They are formed from the residual souls of the mighty ones at the beginning of the Saint Realm. If you want to defeat them, the realm of cultivation is only one aspect, and the great way of cultivation is also important."

Hearing this, Qin Yun seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked: "The energy of luck is gathered in the Demon Tower. If the monster is defeated, what feedback will there be?"

Shuanglu said in a deep voice: "In the Nine-story Demon Tower, as long as you can defeat any evildoer, you can directly plunder the opponent's luck and energy, and even their cultivation, skills, and great principles. Defeating them is equivalent to killing them. They will grow repeatedly until the Nine-story Demon Tower is completely destroyed." As she spoke, Shuanglu handed Qin Yun a red pill, and handed Xuanyuan Shenmeng and Dongfang Tianxiang a white pill.

"This pill?" Qin Yun asked in confusion, "What is it?"

The red and white pills are distinct in size, but the energy contained in them can have very different effects.

Obviously the red one has more hidden treasures, while the white one seems a bit ordinary.

Qin Yun brought the pill close to his nose and smelled it, only to find that it was covered with a layer of herbal scent. Although he couldn't directly tell what it was, Qin Yun had a rough guess.

Shuanglu saw this and said, "Don't smell it. This pill is colorless and tasteless. It was made by the father of the Wanshen Sect to prevent discomfort after entering the Nine-Layer Demon Tower, which would cause the energy for cultivation to be unable to gather. This pill can help people maintain the same strength and cultivation as in the outside world after entering the Demon Tower."

"It seems that the leader of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect is quite knowledgeable about the Nine-story Demon Tower." Qin Yun thought thoughtfully.

Shuanglu looked at Qin Yun and chuckled, "Of course, my father has entered the Nine-Layer Demon Tower more than ten times. Relying on his experience and his own strength, he made it to the eighth floor! It's a pity that I thought that after waiting for another ten years, my father would be able to achieve something on the eighth floor, but the time has not come yet, and what he waited for was the extermination of the Shengyuan Sect."

When talking about my father, Shuanglu always has a smile on her face, but when talking about the Wanshen Sect, Shuanglu can't hide her inner sadness.

The leader of the Wanshen Sect died at the last moment of the battle with the Shengyuan Sect. Both sides fought to the death, and the Shengyuan Sect also suffered heavy losses. However, the Wanshen Sect was one step behind and ultimately could not escape the fate of being wiped out.

Qin Yun didn't want to ask too much and make Shuanglu sad, so he turned the topic back to the Nine-story Demon Tower.

After learning that the leader of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect had entered the Demon Tower more than ten times, Qin Yun became very curious: "In other words, my father's cultivation level is closely related to the Nine-Layer Demon Tower?" Shuanglu shook her head and denied: "No, the Nine-Layer Demon Tower is a good place for cultivators to gain experience, break through the realm of cultivation, or improve combat experience. It is a holy place used to break through shackles, but it is almost impossible to rely on the Nine-Layer Demon Tower to kill evil spirits and make a big improvement."

"Of course, if enough evildoers are killed, their luck and energy will accumulate, and they can comprehend many techniques, which will be helpful to the cultivator's cultivation level, and vice versa."

After listening to Shuanglu's explanation, Qin Yun became even more interested in the Nine-story Demon Tower.

Now he is about to break through to the Piaomiao Realm and is only one step away from the Juxian Realm. However, although the distance seems short, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to truly cross the realm.

There must be a heavenly calamity hidden in it, even if it is just an ordinary realm improvement in the holy world.

Soon three hours passed, and Qin Yun and his party arrived at the old site of the Wanshen Sect. It was a desolate place, and the war was still spreading after a long time. The few remaining dilapidated buildings were surrounded and burned by flames, and they were about to collapse at any time.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Shuanglu could no longer hold on and suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and within her sadness was a determination for revenge: "It's all the fault of the Shengyuan Sect. I must kill them all and let them have a taste of what it's like to have their entire clan wiped out!"

Qin Yun and the other two were nearby, but they didn't know how to comfort them.

They could not empathize with the hatred of losing their country, but the scenes of the Daxia soldiers fighting desperately to defend their country against the invasion of Shengyuan Sect were always engraved in their hearts.

After letting Shuanglu immerse herself in sadness for a long time, she gradually came to her senses and wiped away her tears with a slightly embarrassed look: "I'm sorry, I couldn't bear the pain in my heart when I saw the Wanshen Sect, and I delayed everyone's time."

Qin Yun said nothing, just patted Shuanglu's shoulder to comfort her, and then asked.

"The Shengyuan Sect conquered Daxia in order to find something. Why did the Shengyuan Sect conquer the Wanshen Sect? Why did they destroy the entire sect instead of taking it for themselves?"

Shuanglu lowered her eyes and replied, "The energy of destiny contained in the Wanshen Sect is a rare existence in the entire Baisha Region. Of course, their main purpose is to find something, which is the Wanshen Sect's Guiyuan Holy Root."

Qin Yun was puzzled: "Guiyuan Holy Root?"

Shuanglu didn't know how to answer. After a brief silence, she pointed in the direction of the Nine-story Demon Tower.

"Your Majesty, I will answer your question about the Guiyuan Holy Root later. Now we must head to the Nine-story Demon Tower as soon as possible. The speed of time passing in the Demon Tower is different from that in the outside world. Once you enter, you cannot be sure how long you have stayed inside. It is only a few days before the battle against the Feiyu Sect. We cannot delay any longer."

Faced with Shuanglu's inability to speak, Qin Yun never pressed her too much.

He saw the miserable plight of the Wanshen Sect. If Daxia had failed to resist stubbornly, perhaps the fate of the Wanshen Sect would have been the same as Daxia's. Qin Yun didn't even dare to think about such an outcome.

Shuanglu continued to lead the way until everyone came to a place in front of Wang Yang, then she stopped.
