Chapter 608: Chapter 608: Courting Death? I’ll Grant Your Wish!
The entire Glazed Treasure Tower outside had already exploded into an uproar.
Feng Hen and Saint Xia stared fixedly at the Glazed Treasure Tower, their faces full of disbelief!
They had thought that clearing the sixth floor of the Glazed Treasure Tower was already an achievement they could be proud of, yet right now, Chen Xiao had crushed them with ease, completely shattering the record they had set beneath his feet!
Their faces were extremely dark and sullen.
No one wants to be trampled underfoot, let alone geniuses like them who had carried lofty expectations since childhood.
Feng Hen thought of what he had just said to Chen Xiao, and his face flushed an even deeper red.
It burned, stinging hotly.
Saint Xia’s gaze turned icy cold as he muttered in his heart.
"This guy has a peerless powerhouse backing him, and he’s got such terrifying talent. I’ve already made an enemy of him. If I let him walk out of this Tianyuan Secret Realm alive... the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Later, I must personally strike and behead him!"
"Eliminate all future trouble!"
The experts of the Da Xia Royal Family were all harboring the same thought.
Kill Chen Xiao inside the Tianyuan Secret Realm.
That way, the powerhouse behind him wouldn’t know who did it.
But with how openly they were targeting Chen Xiao now, if they waited until after they left the Tianyuan Secret Realm, the outcome would be completely different. If Chen Xiao mentioned what happened inside the Tianyuan Secret Realm to Chen Wushuang, Chen Wushuang might just lift a hand and wipe them all out!
Suddenly, a commotion rose up!
"The light of the ninth floor lit up!"
"Heavens, he actually cleared the ninth stage? I wonder if there’s any extra reward for passing the ninth stage?" ƒгeewёbnovel.com
In an instant, everyone’s eyes burned with greed.
After clearing the ninth stage of this Glazed Treasure Tower, judging by the rewards from before, Chen Xiao could at least obtain a Heavenly Grade Supreme Martial Skill or Secret Technique!
That alone was enough to make everyone’s eyes turn red with envy.
Heavenly Grade Supreme Martial Skills and Secret Techniques were basically Sect Treasures of the major Ancient Royal Clans and the Xuantian Sect, forbidden to anyone but core members, passed down from generation to generation, never to be leaked.
And Chen Xiao... was only Late Transcendent Realm.
In that moment, many people had already begun to covet that Heavenly Grade Supreme Martial Skill.
Especially Saint Xia and the members of the Da Xia Royal Family.
Here, they had the greatest numbers and the strongest overall strength.
If a fight broke out, they would have the greatest advantage!
Meanwhile, inside the Glazed Treasure Tower, Chen Xiao was standing in the space on the ninth floor.
His expression was calm, and there wasn’t even the slightest trace of fatigue.
The ease of these nine levels had exceeded his expectations.
He really couldn’t understand why everyone else seemed to have struggled so hard.
He hadn’t even used the Sky Sun Burst Spirit Method.
However...
He swept his gaze around. Within this ninth-floor space, there were no Jade Scrolls of any Martial Skills or Secret Techniques.
Could it be that this ninth floor was just for show?
Just then, the space before his eyes began to twist...
Then, a phantom silhouette suddenly appeared.
It was an old man dressed in a gray robe.
His figure was thin and bony, but his eyes were bright and piercing, radiating a powerful sense of oppression.
"Not bad. You are the only one in all these years who has entered the ninth floor of this Pagoda. It seems this sovereign has finally found an heir." The gray-robed old man spoke.
"You are... Senior Spirit King?!" Chen Xiao was shaken.
"I am merely a wisp of a remnant soul I sealed myself within this Linglong Pagoda." The gray-robed old man smiled faintly. "You have passed the nine trials I set, so as agreed, I shall pass my inheritance on to you!"
As he finished speaking, he pointed at the space between Chen Xiao’s brows.
A vast tide of information instantly poured into Chen Xiao’s mind, making his Sea of Consciousness throb with sharp pain.
However, that pain quickly faded.
"This is the comprehension of my life, some spells I created. After you leave this place, you can slowly comprehend them. They will greatly benefit your future cultivation."
"Many thanks for the bestowed techniques, Senior!" Chen Xiao said gratefully.
"Also, this Nine Refinement Spirit Tower is my Lifebound Magical Artifact, a Quasi-Saint Artifact. It’s just a pity that I never managed to take that last step back then, to become a True Saint and turn it into a true Holy Artifact."
"Today, I shall pass this Nine Refinement Spirit Tower to you as well."
A small seven-colored Glazed Tower appeared in Spirit King’s hand.
Then, the Small Tower flew to hover in front of Chen Xiao.
"This is... that Glazed Treasure Tower?" Chen Xiao was shocked. "Then what’s the one outside?"
"That is merely its projection. Once you recognize it as your master with blood, you can retract that projection at any time." Spirit King said with a smile.
"This Small Tower has followed me for many years. I hope its next master can refine it into a true Holy Artifact. Little fellow, do your best."
Chen Xiao took a deep breath. "Senior, I’ll do my best!"
Spirit King didn’t say anything more. That phantom formed from a wisp of Soul Power soon turned into a rain of light and vanished before Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao examined the Nine Refinement Spirit Tower in his hand. Feeling the powerful aura emanating from it, his breathing paused slightly!
This was a Quasi-Saint Artifact!
And moreover, a Quasi-Saint Artifact that could recognize a master!
Although the Blood Demon Mirror was a Holy Artifact, for him at this moment, it might not actually be as useful as this Quasi-Saint Artifact!
First, the Blood Demon Mirror could not yet recognize a master. He could only draw out a portion of its power.
Second, the Blood Demon Mirror required an enormous amount of Spiritual Power to activate, enough to drain him dry in an instant!
By comparison, this Nine Refinement Spirit Tower was much more practical right now.
He sliced open his palm and let his blood drip onto the small Nine Refinement Spirit Tower.
After absorbing his blood, the Nine Refinement Spirit Tower let out a buzzing hum and radiated light.
Chen Xiao could clearly feel that this Nine Refinement Spirit Tower had merged with him as one. He could easily control it, though how much of its power he could draw out was still unknown.
"Now that I’ve cleared the ninefold trials of this Nine Refinement Spirit Tower, those guys outside are all eyeing me like hungry wolves, wanting to snatch the opportunities I’ve obtained from me..."
"Unless I have no other choice, I absolutely cannot expose the existence of this Nine Refinement Spirit Tower."
Chen Xiao had already made up his mind.
"The Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills collected by Spirit King in life are all within this Nine Refinement Spirit Tower as well. Looks like this really is one huge pleasant surprise!"
Without changing his expression, he stepped out from the projection formed by the Nine Refinement Spirit Tower.
The moment he emerged, countless gazes instantly converged on him!
Chen Xiao could feel the heat in their eyes.
Greedy, blazing hot!
Saint Xia was the first to bring people over to surround him, his gaze cold and mocking. "Didn’t you just spout off about wanting a life-and-death battle with me? Now, this prince will grant your wish!"
Su Miaoyin giggled softly. "Young Master Chen truly is a heaven-defying genius, to actually clear all nine floors of this Linglong Pagoda! I wonder, what opportunity did Young Master Chen obtain inside?"
Chen Xiao smiled faintly. "The opportunity I obtained is a Heavenly Grade Supreme Dual Cultivation Technique. If Su Fairy is interested, I can personally instruct you."
Su Miaoyin smiled lightly. "That I cannot handle. I am very interested in the opportunity, but I don’t dare take an interest in dangerous men like Young Master Chen!"
Seeing Chen Xiao ignore him and still dare to flirt with Su Miaoyin right in front of him, a wave of fury surged up in Saint Xia’s chest, and his eyes grew even colder.
"You deserve to die!"
He drew his sword and swung. A vast Sword Qi swept out in a mighty surge.
A sword mark more than ten zhang long appeared on the ground.
Such terrifying power from a casual slash made quite a few Martial Artists present show looks of awe.
The Martial Artists of the Da Xia Royal Family also closed in around Chen Xiao.
In an instant, the atmosphere turned explosive!
Saint Xia said coldly, "To deal with a mere ant like him, there’s no need for you to act!"
"I’ll handle it myself!"
"Stand down!"
Chen Xiao’s gaze turned frosty. "Since you’re so eager to die, I’ll oblige you!"
Ever since entering the Tianyuan Secret Realm, he had been keeping a low profile.
But the more low-key he was, the more these stray cats and dogs jumped out to provoke him, endlessly annoying! Since that was the case, today he would make an example of one to warn the rest!
