* Roar! *
* Roar! *
* Grrrr! *
Dozens of fierce roars spread throughout the place, surprisingly shaking the space slightly as terrifying and ferocious auras gathered.
"Ah!"
Ying Su screamed as she saw more than a dozen horrifying beasts rushing towards them from afar, covering tens of meters in a few moments before being a few meters close to them.
The auras of these spiritual beasts seemed to be unsuppressed! Displaying auras more powerful and superior to the Golden Core state!
"Girls, get ready!"
Su Changqing, Xuan Li, Lang Qingzu and Jun Zhuyun quickly reacted to this, taking out their spiritual weapons and circulating their cultivation essences towards them. Zhu Rouwei, Wu Xuemin, Fang Lian'er and Ying Su reacted a brief moment later upon seeing the others preparing, so they did not hesitate to defend themselves as well.
"No need."
Ling Tian's voice barely ended when the ferocious beasts were shattered in the blink of an eye. Some of them were noticeable before the women's gazes how they seemed to be slashed by an invisible sword countless times in less than a split second.
The [Sword Domain] covered the entire place, slaughtering all the nearby beasts.
Su Changqing and the others were stunned and then looked at Ling Tian, not knowing how it was that he could take care of so many strange beasts. Only Xuan Li and Lang Qingzu remembered the first time they encountered Ling Tian, using the same strange but terrifying technique, slashing enemies in less than a second as if invisible blades were cutting the targets.
"He really isn't suppressed?" Jun Zhuyun muttered to herself at the sight of Ling Tian, wondering if regally he wasn't suppressed in this mysterious realm.
"That's the mysterious Hongmeng Pagoda?!" Wu Xuemin exclaimed once she noticed the huge Pagoda in the distance, watching it as it soared into the sky and sent out an overwhelming feeling.
Wu Xuemin's exclamation attracted the attention of all the women, focusing their gazes on the huge Pagoda that was getting bigger and bigger as they got closer. Countless cultivators fighting with those ferocious beasts were also there.
Hongmeng Pagoda!
This is the Pagoda for which this mysterious realm is named this way!
Then, Ling Tian suddenly stopped, causing the other women to also stop at the sight of him.
"Sect ancestor, what's wrong?" Xuan Li asked as she looked around, thinking that there might be something troubling Ling Tian as she saw his frown.
Ling Tian did not answer, but he narrowed his eyes as he saw the huge Pagoda in front of him several miles away. The laws and principles of space seemed to have been slightly altered, as if small forces that were barely a few particles but contained intensely terrifying energies were passively fighting silently around the Pagoda, blending with the laws and principles of space of the mysterious realm but not completely altering them. However, Ling Tian could clearly see that in this mysterious realm there were two main mysterious forces constantly clashing silently, fighting for the balance and equilibrium of the whole space.
"Hang Liang?" Ling Tian muttered faintly before shaking his head.
Hang Liang was the old man he had encountered and fought in the Heavenly Sun Continent Mysterious Realm, the world of Feng Zhiyun, Feng Ye and the entire Feng Family. That old man was an immortal expert who had learned about the Space Dao, even far surpassing him with his expertise on space knowledge.
But Ling Tian shook his head again as he thought about whether it could be Hang Laing, somehow he had an intuition that it was not that old man's power.
On the other hand, the spiritual beasts in this place were still not considered demonic at all. Their auras were unstable and varied, even most still had clean features on their bodies without any deformities, with less than a dozen that still had a bit of rationality before turning ferocious. Spiritual lions, spiritual tigers, spiritual wolves, spiritual birds, an infinite variety of all kinds of wild animals could be found in the place, with some radiating black auras while others were just beginning to transmit those fierce dark energies.
"Hurry up! We have to get inside before it closes!"
"Brothers, run!"
"Kill those ferocious beasts quickly so we can get inside!"
The anxious voices and exclamations were heard more clearly once Ling Tian and the others approached, observing that there were more than 500 cultivators ceaselessly fighting against the thousands of spiritual beasts. But strangely enough, despite there being more spiritual beasts, they did not pile up against the humans, but simply seemed to not care about them and some of them even seemed to want to get closer to the Pagoda.
Dozens of cultivators with powerful auras were facing off against some spiritual beasts that exuded much more powerful auras.
Then, a group of cultivators of just over 30 people killed a spiritual beast resembling a giant snake, when the next moment a small passageway opened up near them that connected to the Pagoda in the center and went through the barrier without any problem, causing everyone to rush into this passageway before it closed. They didn't even take the corpse of the spiritual snake.
"F*ck! Another group made it inside! If we don't hurry, the next group must be the last to make it in!"
"Hurry up! Don't delay! Hey, you! Hurry up and support your comrades!"
"Guys, if we attack one of those most powerful spiritual beasts among all of us, we'll have a chance to win the last space!"
"Martial brother, take my spiritual spear, it's a very powerful upper middle grade artifact! Only you can exert more of its power in this place so that we can succeed in entering the great Hongmeng Pagoda!"
"Yes! Let's go..."
Once they noticed that a small passageway had been opened for a group of cultivators, the others went wild and rushed further to attack the spiritual beasts.
"You have to kill spiritual beasts in order to enter?" Ling Tian asked as he frowned... what was the meaning of all this fuss about killing the spiritual beasts that were transforming into demonic beasts in order to enter this pagoda?
"Senior doesn't know about the trial of this great Hongmeng Pagoda?" Jun Zhuyun asked somewhat stunned.
"No. It's my first time entering this small realm... you know something about this pagoda?" Ling Tian shook his head and looked weakly at Jun Zhuyun.
This was Ling Tian's first time in this mysterious little realm, but the way things were unfolding were somewhat strange. Not even flying in the skies could one get close to the pagoda before running into the barrier that seemed to cross and cover the entire sky as well.
"The great Hongmeng Pagoda is a pagoda as the name suggests, and it is located in the center of this mysterious realm that opens every so often." Jun Zhuyun earnestly explained in a nutshell, "Like any mysterious realm, inside there will be incredible and rarely seen cultivation resources and treasures in the cultivation world for those who enter this small realm and explore inside. But those who have managed to find and directly enter the pagoda mention that inside is a cultivation paradise where there are infinite treasures and resources that have become weak cultivators into world famous powerhouses, as well as small organizations or pavilions have managed to become third level and even second level sects of great importance."
"But the only way to manage to enter the pagoda would be to slay many spiritual beasts that are in the surroundings, so that is the test before entering the pagoda, so that once you manage to slay all these spiritual beasts a passage like the one from a few moments ago will open up."
"Slaying a significant number of spiritual beasts as a test to succeed in opening the direct passage and entering the pagoda?" Ling Tian raised his eyebrow upon hearing Jun Zhuyun before smiling wryly inwardly. He could easily understand by seeing what was going on, but he didn't understand how they came to this conclusion in general.
"Yes, senior. In fact, you see that the barrier is shaking and glowing in some parts? It's because there's actually only room left for another passage before the barrier around the entire pagoda disappears and a new one rises, a very powerful and even impenetrable one unless someone could exert their full power in this place... at least a power comparable to the Great Ascension state... that's the information the sect has gathered from this mysterious realm." Jun Zhuyun looked at Ling Tian and she recalled that he seemed to be unaffected by the suppression of this mysterious realm.
"I see..." Ling Tian nodded but inwardly finally let out an amused sigh. His spirit sense traversed the space and the spatial laws of the place, glancing inside the huge pagoda and observing its interior.
Inside the pagoda, there were much larger dimensions, one dimension corresponding to each floor, in total being nine gigantic dimensions. Inside it also concentrated much more spiritual aura unlike where they were at the moment, several spiritual lakes with spiritual fruits and grasses were all over the place separated by various hidden and powerful formations, all kinds of natural treasures resided inside the second floor of the Pagoda, while outside the barrier they were still fighting against the spiritual beasts that at any moment would turn into real demonic beasts if they were not killed.
"Haha..." Ling Tian couldn't help but let out a small amused laugh, leaving the women confused and stunned.
What Ling Tian was amused at was that the world thought they needed to kill beasts as a test to be able to enter the pagoda, when it really seemed to not be the case. This pagoda was much more profound and mysterious, and every time the spiritual beasts died as well as the cultivators the barrier absorbed the energy from all of them to feed back, with their protective formations reforming and creating a new barrier to protect the pagoda. However, as it created the new barrier, in those small lapses it would leave small gaps for brief moments before covering them, thus creating the famous passages to sneak into the pagoda.
The barrier that protected the pagoda came from powerful high level formations, meaning that it was about to reform again and once that happens, the barrier will be so firm and impenetrable that even if thousands of cultivators attack they won't manage to destroy it for a long time, more so in this realm that suppressed the bases of all who entered, making it even more difficult to enter the pagoda. With his current knowledge about the field of Formations, Ling Tian was able to quickly see and understand the formations in this place.
Simply put, this pagoda was full of mysteries and it seemed that there was at least someone controlling it... even more than one.
* Boom! *
At this moment, a spiritual beast that was shaped like the body of a tiger and had five heads instead of one was killed by a little over 50 cultivators who had their clothes stained with blood and covered in wounds.
A small passageway opened up above the barrier, allowing just over half of all those cultivators to gain entry before the passageway closed.
* Roar! *
* Roar! *
* Grrrr! *
Dozens of fierce roars spread throughout the place, surprisingly shaking the space slightly as terrifying and ferocious auras gathered.
"Ah!"
Ying Su screamed as she saw more than a dozen horrifying beasts rushing towards them from afar, covering tens of meters in a few moments before being a few meters close to them.
