A Useless Person's Rise to Power: The Demon King's Addiction to Pampering

After packing his luggage, Feng Jiutian arrived at the passage leading to the ninth floor. Upon entering, he found himself in another space. There was no one in the space except for a huge tree in the center. Even though there was no one there, Feng Jiutian did not let his guard down. Instead, he slowly approached the tree in the center step by step.

Just when Feng Jiutian was about ten meters away from the giant tree, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred.

Several vines suddenly shot out from under Feng Jiutian's feet. If Feng Jiutian hadn't reacted quickly and retreated immediately, she would probably have suffered considerable injuries.

Feng Jiutian quickly retreated. Seeing that the giant tree was not chasing after him, he knew that the giant tree could not be moved. This made Feng Jiutian very happy. Without saying a word, Feng Jiutian condensed a huge fire dragon and attacked the giant tree.

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't hit me, I'll surrender! You can have Feng Qingmu, just don't kill me!"

This giant tree spirit was also a member of the Phoenix Tower. He was living a good life on his eighth floor when he was suddenly captured by the master of the Phoenix Tower and made to serve as a gatekeeper, which infuriated him.

However, no one had come here for a long time, so he was quite free. Who would have thought that someone would come up from below and discover his weakness and try to burn him alive?

The owner of the Phoenix Tower probably took a liking to his own source of the Wind-Clearing Wood. Thinking of this, the tree demon also cut off a piece of its own arm and threw it towards Feng Jiutian.

"This contains the original power of the Lingfeng Green Wood. I'm giving it to you as a reward. You've passed the eighth level. Go up there sometime."

Feng Jiutian took the severed arm and discovered that it had turned into a tree branch containing a wood-elemental power.

Feng Jiutian was no longer in a hurry to go up to the ninth floor. Instead, he sat in the hall and began to refine the wisp of clear wind that the tree demon had thrown over.

After refining Liu Mu Qingfeng, Feng Jiutian also exhaled a breath of turbid air.

At this time, four of the elements within Feng Jiutian's body were special elements that already possessed divine consciousness. Among them, the water element had mutated into the ice element, and the wood element also carried a trace of wind attribute.

Feng Jiutian thought to herself that the reward for the ninth level was likely the gold element that she had not yet replaced in her body.

Finally, they were almost at the top of the Phoenix Tower, and they could leave from here. Feng Jiutian was also a little happy, wondering if the Seventh Prince had been bullied by others while she was away.

We should hurry up and get through the last two floors to protect him.

Feng Jiutian, of course, had no idea that the Seventh Prince, or rather Mo Shaoxie, whom she was worried about, was sitting in the pavilion on the tenth floor, holding a cup of tea in his right hand, slowly watching her figure, a playful smile appearing on his lips.

Feng Jiutian stood up and entered the light circle leading to the ninth floor of the Phoenix Tower, where the scenery before him changed.

Feng Jiutian appeared in a huge square.

The Phoenix Tower gets smaller with each floor, and the total space of the ninth floor is this huge plaza.

It seems that the ninth floor is a direct battle against the floor's guardian.

Feng Jiutian has fought against all sorts of enemies, big and small, along the way, but he doesn't know what this ninth level is.

A petite human figure stood in the center of the square. But Feng Jiutian couldn't sense any human presence. Even looking at that person, Feng Jiutian always felt that she wasn't human.

"Girl, be careful, this is actually a sword spirit," Xuanji Zi said inside the Void Spirit Cauldron.

Sword Spirit! Feng Jiutian was surprised. The owner of the Phoenix Tower was really generous, actually placing a sword spirit on the ninth floor.

Sword spirits only appear when a divine weapon appears in the world. Their duty is to guard the divine weapon and wait for the right person to take it. In other words, there is at least one divine weapon on this ninth floor.

At this moment, Feng Jiutian's heart also burned with desire, after all, she wanted to become stronger, and divine weapons were the fastest way to become stronger.

It just so happens that Feng Jiutian doesn't have a good weapon. Although the daggers he's using now are made by famous blacksmiths that Ji Tianzuo found, they are definitely not comparable to real divine weapons.

Feng Jiutian adjusted his breathing, then condensed the Crimson Lotus Night Flame onto the dagger, and then stabbed it towards the sword spirit.

The sword spirit had empty eyes, but its attack was ruthless, instantly shattering Feng Jiutian's offensive.

Then, Feng Jiutian felt a sharp sword aura emanating from the sword spirit. The entire sword spirit was like a sharp sword. However, since sword spirits were already considered divine weapons, this was not unusual.

Feng Jiutian also condensed his killing intent domain, forming an aura around himself. Then, the two of them rushed towards each other simultaneously. Their auras collided.

Upon the collision, Feng Jiutian was sent flying more than ten meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he landed.

"Girl! Are you alright?" Xuanji Zi called out anxiously from inside the Void Spirit Cauldron.

He didn't even know what had happened when Feng Jiutian vomited blood, even though he hadn't been attacked by spiritual energy or physical force.

"Such a powerful sword aura! His sword aura shattered my own, which is why I was injured," Feng Jiutian comforted Xuanji Zi.

The sword spirit in the distance, seeing Fei Jiutian fly away, did not chase after him, and simply stood there.

"Old man, how can I gain the sword spirit's approval and obtain a divine weapon?" Feng Jiutian asked.

"There are two methods. One is to kill the sword spirit and seize the divine weapon. The second method is to gain the sword spirit's approval and make it submit to you."

After that sword strike, Feng Jiutian realized that defeating this sword spirit was virtually impossible. Therefore, the only way he could obtain the divine weapon was to gain the sword spirit's approval.

How could Feng Jiutian gain the sword spirit's approval? Feng Jiutian pondered.

Suddenly, a jolt of electricity flashed through Feng Jiutian's mind.

Sword aura—this sword spirit must be most proud of that sword aura from just now. If my sword aura could surpass hers, then she might very well acknowledge me.

Thinking of this, Feng Jiutian sheathed his dagger, took out a longsword from the illusory space, and stood in front of the sword spirit once again.

This time, she carefully observed how the sword spirit's sword aura was formed. Then she tried her best to imitate the sword spirit's sword aura herself.

Ten minutes later, a broken sword aura also appeared on Feng Jiutian's body. Then, he was sent flying again in a clash with the sword spirit's sword aura.

However, Feng Jiutian discovered something this time: when he first used his mid-level Venerable Master strength to attack the sword spirit, the sword spirit's strength was also mid-level Venerable Master.

Just now, I deliberately didn't use my full strength, suppressing my power to the fifth level of Master, and the sword spirit also dropped to the fifth level of Master. It seems I've found the right path; to pass the ninth level, I must surpass this sword spirit in sword intent.
