I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

The Pagoda, from the outside, appears to be composed of countless squares pieced together by mysterious forces.

The interior is a wondrous space that rises from the bottom up.

A giant, circular prayer wheel, resembling a pillar, sits in the very center, covered with solemn and sacred patterns.

The pagoda has seven levels along the prayer wheel, with staircases located at the end of the passageway on each level.

On the other side of the corridor were rows of enclosed units, surrounded by black and gold fences, resembling prison cells.

The light inside the pagoda comes from the prayer wheels, and the blood-red and gold colors are too vibrant.

Shen Ming appeared on the top floor.

"Is this a prison cell?"

Upon seeing the black gold fence, Shen Ming raised an eyebrow.

Fortunately, he immediately realized that the door was opened from the inside.

He did not rush into action, but sensed his own power.

Experience the Dharma-nature as described by Master Fatian, which is one with the Dharma, and is immeasurable.

If one cannot sense the original true energy, the Xuan Guan, Shen Cang, and Yuan Tai within the body will no longer exist.

"Is this the state of Maha-Boundless?"

Formless, without appearance, impermanent, uncertain, useless, infinite, and limitless, this is called Maha-immeasurable.

It is the supreme martial arts theory of Buddhism.

Shen Ming's heart stirred; their martial arts paths, based on the Limitless True Qi, were now aligned.

For him, the Great Immeasurable is the most precious treasure.

Being in this state of mind, one can immediately gain countless inspirations and insights.

I have more ideas about the Wuji True Qi.

At this moment, the ground trembled slightly, interrupting Shen Ming's thoughts.

The huge prayer wheel in the very center has begun to turn.

"Xuan, Xuan Tianzi? You really came in? Come out quickly! The prayer wheel is turning, and there will be great terror in the prison!"

A pretty woman appeared outside, anxiously patting the fence.

"Don't believe him. It's safe behind the door. You won't be attacked while the prayer wheel is turning."

A disciple of the Xuantian Sect came over to remind him.

Shen Ming trusted the people in his sect.

"Your Majesty, please, let me in!" the woman pleaded.

Her name is Zhang Qin, and she is a female disciple from a second-tier sect.

As the prayer wheel turns, countless powerful monsters will appear beneath the pagoda.

These demons are equivalent to the early stage of the third realm of innate beings.

Logically speaking, any martial artist who enters should be able to handle it.

However, when the prayer wheel turns, all the martial artists will have red light in their eyes and experience hallucinations.

In their eyes, the yaksha, who was less than half a person tall, had become more than two meters tall, and they would suffer a great loss if they tried to attack it.

The safest place is in a prison cell.

Shen Ming soon saw the monsters appear in the tower.

Flying Yaksha!

The ferocious demon described in Buddhist records is short and grotesque, capable of gliding at low altitudes, with skin as rough as rock and radiating a cold, eerie glow.

Its face was distorted and terrifying, with sharp fangs protruding from its mouth.

A pair of blood-red eyes radiated endless ferocity and rage.

He was carrying a rusty steel fork.

"Your Majesty, I beg you," Zhang Qin continued to plead.

The disciples of the Xuantian Sect stood to the side with cold faces, remaining vigilant.

Shen Ming opened the door from the inside, and Zhang Xue was overjoyed, rushing over without saying a word.

"Do you want to go in?" Shen Ming asked the Xuan Tian Sect disciple.

The disciple was clearly tempted, but seeing Shen Ming outside, he said, "No, I'll handle it with you."

"Alright then." Shen Ming slammed the iron gate shut.

Zhang Qin let out a howl, "None of you will let me in!"

She glared at Shen Ming and the Xuan Tian Sect disciples, then wasted no time searching for other safe cells.

The prayer wheel rotated faster and faster, and the red light intensified.

"How should I address you, senior brother?" Shen Ming asked.

"Chen Dong, Xuan Tianzi, be careful. The illusion is coming soon. The flying yaksha has not only become taller, but also more troublesome."

After he finished speaking, the red light emitted by the prayer wheel solidified in his eye sockets.

In an instant, the world before Chen Dong's eyes darkened, and the yaksha, which was originally less than half a person's height, grew to nearly three meters.

From this vantage point, Shen Ming's figure beside him became blurry and indistinct, requiring careful observation to discern.

Shen Ming frowned, looking around.

Illusion? Where did this illusion come from?

The dazzling red light reflected in his pupils, but it could never condense into a red glow.

The flying yaksha did not grow taller; it remained like a dwarf.

Shen Ming tentatively unleashed a sword strike, its light resembling moonlight, cleaving the red glow and shattering the flying yaksha.

The power of the Maha Boundless Force was so great that the destructive power of this sword strike exceeded even his own expectations.

Chen Dong was facing a giant flying yaksha, feeling as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

As a result, a dazzling light descended, and the flying yaksha was torn to pieces.

He looked to the side in disbelief.

In his eyes, the previously dim-looking Xuan Tianzi was now surrounded by a layer of silver light.

As he gazed upon it, the red light in his eyes gradually faded, and the world returned to normal.

"this?!"

Chen Dong was shocked. He had just seen Xuan Tianzi actually appear at the Floating Pagoda and was somewhat worried, even feeling that something was amiss.

As a disciple of the Xuantian Sect, I must lend a helping hand when I see the Xuantian Emperor in trouble.

Unexpectedly, it was Shen Ming who helped me!

Shen Ming stopped worrying about why he couldn't see the illusions and attributed it to the power of his innate sacred body.

"My Lord Xuan, each floor also has a secret chamber containing treasures. While the prayer wheel is spinning, it's first come, first served!" Chen Dong reminded him.

Shen Ming's eyes lit up. What were they waiting for?

The two of them were traveling together when they encountered the woman named Zhang Qin from earlier.

He had already fallen into a pool of blood, killed by the Yaksha's steel fork.

Judging from his posture, at the last moment he was still thinking of hiding in the nearest cell.

As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

They happened to be inside the pagoda.

Shen Ming disagreed, believing that Zhang Xue was telling the truth and genuinely seeking help.

He would naturally help, since neither he nor Chen Dong needed that cell.

However, the woman initially planned to trick herself into leaving the prison and hide there alone.

Such a person is not worth saving.

Step over the corpses and keep moving forward.

Among the many cells in the corridor, the two found a secret treasure room.

These secret chambers only open while the prayer wheels are turning.

If you keep avoiding those flying demons, you'll naturally have no chance to seize the opportunity.

The secret treasure room was not large, but it was easy to see at a glance. There was a treasure box on the stone table, and Shen Ming found a string of glass Buddhist beads inside.

It is made up of 108 crystal clear glass beads, each of which contains endless mysteries.

The silk threads of the Buddhist prayer beads are both strong and soft, seemingly made from the golden silk spun by sacred silkworms in Buddhism.

When you reach out and touch this string of glass prayer beads, you can feel a warm and powerful force flowing from your palm into your heart.

"A magical artifact that can aid in the cultivation of the Supreme Realm!"

Chen Dong breathed heavily, marveling at the profound cultural heritage of Xiaoxitian.

Such a precious treasure is simply placed here.

They are at the Innate Realm and have no use for these Buddhist beads, but if they were to sell them, they would fetch a huge sum of money.

"I'll give it to my mother next time I go back."

As Shen Ming pondered this, he put away the Buddhist prayer beads.

Chen Dong, who was following behind, twitched his lips a few times, but ultimately managed to control his greed.

In a flash, he suddenly understood how Little Western Paradise sought answers through the Floating Pagoda.

What is it that, through the trials of the Floating Pagoda with a mortal heart, gains wisps of spiritual light?

It was clearly meant to allow Buddhist disciples to see the humanity displayed by the people in the pagoda, and to gain enlightenment from it!
