C33 (1/2)

Buzz! Buzz!

On the stone stairs, following Cang Yun's successful breakthrough, Zhou Xian'er and the rest once again gathered their thoughts and focused on climbing up. After an hour, the three of them finally completed the stone stairs test.

Seeing this, Cang Yun did not delay any further. With the Origin Energy around his body whistling, his body also rushed towards the stone platform.

Ever since he broke through to the second realm, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds. The pressure on the stone stairs was no longer something that he could withstand.

Hence, less than an hour later, Cang Yun had unsurprisingly climbed onto the stone platform at the finish point.

”Spirit-Cleansing Pill.”

The next moment, looking at the trial reward in his palm, Cang Yun nodded in satisfaction.

The Spirit Cleansing Pill was also an extremely valuable pill. It could help a martial artist quickly enter the state of mind as one, and as long as the effects were there, that state could be maintained. It would be of great help to martial artists when comprehending cultivation techniques or Origin Skills.

After storing the pills into his storage ring, a fragrant wind blew over, followed by a melodious voice that entered his ears from behind.

”Congratulations Big Brother Cang Yun for successfully breaking through the second layer of the secret scripture.”

Cang Yun turned around, and upon seeing Zhou Xian'er's beautiful figure, he smiled and nodded. At the same time, a warm feeling welled up in his heart. Although the latter spoke words of blessings, her expression and tone were filled with concern.

Weng! *

Just as Cang Yun was about to speak, the space nearby suddenly transmitted a ripple. After which, an old white figure suddenly walked out from the ripple.

Seeing this, the expression on Cang Yun's face slightly changed. His body tensed up as he gazed over with a trace of vigilance in his eyes.

”Who are you?” Zhou Jun's face was also filled with vigilance. After which, he turned towards the white robed old man and asked in a stern voice.

”Heh, a child of the Zhou family, your temper is quite big.” The white robed old man looked at Zhou Jun with an unhappy expression on his aged face. Soon after, an enormous aura surged out from his body and pressed against Zhou Jun.

Faced with such a huge pressure, Zhou Jun's expression changed drastically. In an instant, he seemed to be unable to withstand it and was forced back a few steps, his face turning extremely pale.

Staring at Zhou Jun, he said, ”If I hadn't promised your ancestors that I wouldn't interfere in this trial, your disrespectful tone just now would have been enough to kill you.”

Hearing this, everyone was silenced. From the aura just now, the strength of the old man in front of them was extremely terrifying. In addition to his bad temper, no one dared to make any movements for a while. Zhou Jun even lowered his head, not daring to even breathe.

Seeing this, the white robed old man nodded his head in satisfaction. After which, he smiled and said, ”However, all of you need not be nervous. I am the spirit of this ancient tower.

”The spirit of the ancient pagoda?” Cang Yun's eyes narrowed. After seeing the transparent body of the old man, he nodded his head in understanding.

Every single Ancient Realm had a tribe of their own, and these tribe grounds were all housed within a powerful artifact. For example, the Ancient Flaming Tower was the Zhou Clan's artifact, and the artifact was a Divine Weapon, whereas the Divine Weapon had a soul, so the white robed old man called himself the Spirit of the Ancient Tower.

Thinking to this point, Cang Yun felt at ease with the white-robed old man's strength. As long as they had the qualifications to be the clan's divine weapon, they would definitely be extremely powerful existences. With the clan artifact's own strength as support, the artifact spirit's strength would at least be on par with a Nihility God Stage expert.

”Could it be that there is something different about the seventh stage of the trial when senior specifically made an appearance?” At this point, Zhou Xian'er cautiously asked. This time, she had high hopes, hence she was extremely interested in this trial.

Hearing this, the old man was about to reply, but just as his gaze landed on Zhou Xian'er, his calm expression couldn't help but change, and a strange look appeared in his eyes: ”After so many years, the Zhou family has finally produced someone with the same physique as that old man. I never thought that after coming out for a stroll, I would be able to encounter such a pleasant surprise.”

Immediately, that aged gaze carefully examined Zhou Xian'er for a long time before it finally nodded in satisfaction: ”Her talent is not bad either. It seems like I can no longer protect the inheritance of that old fellow.”
