Chapter 77 Sign in to Haotian Tower

The Void Wheel brought him to a random place on the first floor. This was a stone wall maze environment with stone rooms and passages everywhere. He didn't know the direction, and it would probably take a long time to find the way to the second floor.

He first studied the Haotian Sutra. This secret book turned into white light and entered his mind, and he began to evolve this set of mental skills.

This time the study took much longer than any other time. It was estimated that it took at least an hour for the technique to be fully evolved in his mind and for him to master it directly.

He immediately sat down cross-legged, and the Haotian Sutra replaced the Xiantian Qiankun Jue. The true Qi in his body flowed and condensed, compressing the true Qi into liquid. This new power was called Zhenyuan, which was purer and thicker than true Qi.

When he condensed all of his 2,400 years of internal Qi into true essence, his aura changed instantly, and his true essence flowed through his meridians like an ordinary person, without any leakage, so it was naturally not noticed by outsiders.

Moreover, after transforming into true essence, the system showed that the cultivation time became 400 years, which was compressed by 6 times.

However, he knew that his true essence was definitely much stronger than his true qi now, just like his internal strength was far inferior to his true qi before.

When he opened his eyes, he found that he was surrounded by all kinds of monsters. Although they were surrounding him, they all had terrified faces, as if they wanted to eat him but didn't dare to.

He stood up and the demons around him immediately retreated. The Haotian Sutra was the practice of the God Haotian. The aura emitted when he was practicing just now made these demons think that Zhou An had some relationship with the Haotian Tower.

"This is the first floor of the Haotian Tower. How do we get to the next floor?" Zhou An asked.

These demons looked at his body greedily, and no one replied. Zhou An raised his hand, and the Emperor's Sword appeared beside him.

Now all the demons fled in all directions, leaving behind only an old white-haired demon who was wearing a bamboo hat and was as thin as a monkey.

He immediately knelt down and shouted, "My Lord, I am willing to take you to the entrance to the second floor."

"Well, lead the way." Zhou An said calmly.

The old demon immediately led the way. After walking out of here, the old demon immediately asked: "The immortal entered the Haotian Tower by himself, right?"

"How do you know?" Zhou An asked curiously.

"The aura released by the Immortal just now is exactly the same as that of the Haotian Tower, so I made this guess."

Zhou An asked, "How long have you been locked up here?"

"I don't remember. There is no sun or moon here. I only remember that when I was first imprisoned here, I was young and energetic, and did a lot of ridiculous things, so I was taken in by the Haotian Tower." The old demon did not hide anything and spoke with self-mockery.

Zhou An asked directly: "Do you want to go out?"

The old demon stopped excitedly and shouted, "I want to, I want to dream about it, I beg the immortal to give me some advice."

"Help me with my work. If you do a good job, I will take you with me when I go out." Zhou An said casually, which made the old demon so excited that he kowtowed nine times, then stood up and continued to lead the way.

This maze is indeed complicated. If it weren’t for the old demon in the bamboo hat leading the way, it would take me a year to find the entrance to the second floor.

Zhou An asked, "Have you been to the second floor?"

"Replying to the Immortal, how dare we, monsters without special talents, go up? The higher we go, the higher the monsters' cultivation level will be. Moreover, monsters on each level will devour each other to increase their own cultivation level. The passage here can only go up, not down. Once you go up, you can't come back. No one knows what will happen next, so no one dares to try.

There are some brave ones who went there. Most of them said they died there, while some said they had already left. "The old demon sighed.

"You have the ability to survive here for so long. Recognize me as your master and do things for me when you get out. I will give you freedom." Zhou An's words were like an order, and the monster would not allow itself to refuse.

"Thank you for your kindness, Immortal. I will do my best for you." The old demon did not hesitate at all. Going out to do things for others was like heaven compared to being locked up here.

Now Zhou An's aura is restrained like that of an ordinary person. The demons around him thought that an ordinary person had come in, and they all wanted to have a bite of the delicious blood meal, as they had not eaten it for many years.

But seeing the hunchbacked old demon, everyone was watching around and no one dared to approach him, which showed that his status here was not ordinary.

Zhou An also saw that this old demon was smart and capable, otherwise he would not have recruited him to work for him. As for betrayal, he had the ability to betray, and that was his ability.

After walking for more than an hour, they arrived at the entrance to the second floor. There was a Yin-Yang fish formation. The old demon pointed at it and said, "My lord, this is the entrance. As long as you walk up, you will be teleported to the upper floor. Little demon..."

Zhou An knew that this old guy was capable, but he was too cautious and did not force him to follow. He might not know the way back, so he said casually: "If you don't dare, just wait here."

The old demon hesitated, then gritted his teeth and said, "I am old now, and I won't live long anyway, so I will go with you and give it a try."

The two men walked onto the Yin-Yang fish and disappeared in a flash of white light.

"Reach the second floor of Haotian Tower, sign in successfully, and be rewarded with the Golden Palace Pill."

As soon as he appeared, he received a message from the system, which introduced that the Golden Que Immortal Pill was an elixir refined by the Lord Haotian, which was used to reward the heavenly soldiers and generals who had made meritorious services, and could increase their cultivation.

This is an underground cave with complex terrain. He is in a relatively large cave with dozens of openings on the surrounding stone walls, and no one knows where they lead to.

Just as Taixuan said, the pressure on the second layer is twice as high as that on the first layer, and one can already feel that it is more difficult to move here.

However, he did not feel his true essence being sucked away. He did not know whether it was because of the difference between true essence and true qi, or because of his practice of the Haotian Sutra.

He moved his mind and a golden elixir appeared on his palm. Having eaten elixirs before, he did not use his internal energy to absorb it and put it directly into his mouth.

The elixir turns into pure energy that flows into every part of the body, strengthening the body and finally merging into the dantian.

When he absorbed the elixir, the surrounding demons flew around him and said excitedly, "After so many years, a mortal has finally come. I am tired of eating demons here. I really want to taste the taste of a living person."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"How can we divide it? There are tens of thousands of monsters here, and one bite for each person won't be enough."

"What's the use of dividing? Whoever is better gets it."

"Come, this human is mine." The surrounding demons immediately collided with each other and bit each other, fighting each other with their demon bodies and devil bodies.

"Idiot, how could a mortal come here?" A young man with blue hair walked over. He had a pair of pointed horns on his forehead and his eyes were also blue.

"You are a human monk, right? What are you doing here?" The young man walked over with an arrogant look on his face.

The old demon in the bamboo hat immediately said, "My Lord, this is the Green Ghost Clan, they are born with strong bodies, and it is said that the royal family among them can possess the body of a demon king when they reach adulthood.

In the Haotian Tower, all demonic and magical powers will be sucked away, and one can only fight with physical strength, so the Qinggui clan is very strong here."

Zhou An looked at the system information. Although his true essence cultivation had increased by 300 years, his realm was still at the late fifth level of the innate realm. It seemed that the realm was not determined solely by the cultivation level. He didn't know how this system made the judgment.

Then he looked at the green ghost who was coming over and asked, "Do you know the way to the third floor?"

Qinggui was surprised. He carried a bone samurai sword on his shoulder and said, "Of course I know the way to the third floor, but if you want me to lead the way, you have to show your ability."

"Defeat you, eh? Fine, let's do it."

As soon as Zhou An finished speaking, the green ghost appeared in front of him and slashed at his neck with the bone knife in his hand.

The moment the blade approached, it was blocked by the flying Emperor's Sword.

"Flying sword! Can you use true energy here?" Qing Gui widened his eyes in surprise.

Now all the demons fighting around stopped and looked at Zhou An with surprise, as if it was extremely unreasonable to use true energy here.

“Could it be that the true energy was not completely sucked away when he first came in?” some demons raised doubts.

The Green Ghost attacked again. His swordsmanship was indeed exquisite. It was likely that a post-natal warrior would be completely unable to match him in swordsmanship.

After all, he had lived here for hundreds or even thousands of years, and he was unable to use his magic power. He could only practice swordsmanship, so it was hard not to be good.

But no matter how good Qing Gui's sword skills were, they would be blocked by the Emperor's Sword. Zhou An even stood there without moving a finger.

After fighting for more than ten minutes, they saw that Zhou An had not leaked any Qi, his breathing was steady, and he looked like an ordinary person.

The Green Ghost stopped attacking, and as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly knelt on one knee and said, "The Green Ghost is willing to be your servant, always following you and never betraying you. Please take me with you, Master."
