Xue Kong, who had just walked into the black tower, suddenly heard a voice calling him. After he appeared in the desert space of the second level, he turned around in confusion and looked at the black tower behind him.

The second level is almost identical to the first.

The same endless desert, the same black tower, the only difference is that there are more monks in the second level than in the first level. At the same time, there are several monsters chasing the monks.

At this time, a short-haired boy was being chased by a monster and was in a very miserable state. While he was fleeing, he happened to see a flash of light on the black tower, and then a figure was teleported over.

"You've come at the right time. If my fellow Taoist dies, I'll be the one to die." The short-haired boy chuckled and rushed directly towards Xue Kong, with the monster chasing him from behind, and his momentum was as high as a rainbow.

"Fellow Daoist, save me!" The short-haired boy shouted for help with a terrified look on his face.

Xue Kong looked up with a calm expression. With a thought, a heavenly sword flew out of the storage bag, circled in the air, and suddenly slashed towards the short-haired boy.

The pupils of the short-haired boy's eyes trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! The monks who dared to enter this black tower are really not easy to deal with. My intentions have been seen through."

He was about to take action when a dark shadow suddenly flashed before his eyes.

The next second, Xue Kong, who was originally in front of the black tower, appeared directly in front of the short-haired boy. With a "puff", a sharp blade of the Heavenly Sword flashing with coldness emerged from the back of the short-haired boy's heart.

"You!" The short-haired boy's face flushed red as he grabbed Xue Kong's shoulders. Because he used so much force, the bones on the back of his hand were exposed. He was shocked. He didn't expect Xue Kong to be so strong and decisive.

Xue Kong had a blank expression on his face. After drawing out the Heavenly Sword, the evil spirit in his body pounced on the short-haired boy and devoured his soul.

The monsters from behind were charging towards them aggressively.

Xue Kong thrust out the Heavenly Sword in his hand, and together with the Heavenly Sword in the air, slashed towards the monster.

After the three evil ghosts devoured the soul of the short-haired boy, the belly of one of the evil ghosts bulged greatly. Soon, the evil ghost opened its mouth full of fangs and spit out a new evil ghost.

"The fourth one."

Finally, the fourth evil ghost was condensed. Xue Kong smiled slightly and took the new evil ghost into his body.

He raised his head and saw that under the fierce attack of the two heavenly swords, the monster was chopped into pieces, and finally fell heavily to the ground with a bang and merged into the sand.

Every grain of sand in this space is a monster.

As for how and when they turned into monsters, Xue Kong did not understand the rules behind it. With his attainments in formations, he could not see through the formation rules set up by the Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Of the seven levels of the Black Tower, except for the final seventh level, most of the treasures that may appear in the first six levels are on the monsters that manifested from the sand. After the monsters die, they will sink into the sand."

"As long as someone is careful and attentive, they can discover the secrets of this desert world." Xue Kong looked into the distance and saw many cultivators fighting with monsters, while some were just trying to escape and transfer the monsters to others.

Just as Xue Kong was looking into the distance, the black tower behind him rumbled and shook, a flash of light appeared on it, and then two figures were teleported over.

As soon as the two figures appeared, a woman in white took a step forward, her body filled with coldness, and rushed towards Xue Kong: "Xue San, accept your death!"

"It's you." Xue Kong turned around and saw Hao Miaojun's face full of murderous intent, with chills emanating from her.

"You want the red-bearded dragon egg, right?" Xue Kong asked.

Hao Miaojun did not stop her killing moves. She knew that Xue Kong was cunning and did not want to listen to him at all. She just wanted to kill him and then go to his storage bag to look for him.

Xue Kong retreated while taking out the red-bearded dragon egg from his storage bag.

"Dragon egg!" Hao Miaojun's eyes were filled with surprise, and his gaze was fixed on the dragon egg.

At the exit of the Black Tower, the previously nonchalant owner of Yue Family Villa couldn't take his eyes off the dragon egg. He murmured, "No wonder Hao Miaojun was so determined to hunt down Xue San. It turns out it was for this."

"Why is such a treasure in a... Hey, his cultivation level, why can't I see through it?"

"Fellow Daoist, you are too late. The egg has already entered my stomach." Xue Kong said loudly.

Hao Miaojun was confused: "What did you say?"

Xue Kong said nothing more. He turned the dragon egg half a circle, revealing a crack in the eggshell. He said, "I have swallowed the egg liquid and used it to improve my cultivation. Even if you snatch it away, you will only get an empty shell."

"You!!!" Hao Miaojun's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. "You ate a dragon egg that can hatch a red-bearded dragon cub?!"

"What a waste!"

Putting the eggshell away, Xue Kong smiled faintly: "Now that things have come to this, it's useless for you to take the eggshell away. How about you and I join forces and find another fortune in this black tower?"

A frosty look covered Hao Miaojun's face as she stared at Xue Kong coldly. At this moment, her heart was in a strange silence and she didn't even feel angry at all.

She put away the killing move in her hand and swept her spiritual sense towards Xue Kong.

Xue Kong did not resist and let her look at him.

"I can't see through it. I can't even see through his cultivation. What level has he reached?" Hao Miaojun was surprised. She had never thought of using the red-bearded dragon egg to improve her own cultivation. This was too crazy.

"This black tower has seven levels in total. With your two people's cultivation level, you will definitely not be able to pass the fifth level. If the three of us join forces, perhaps we can reach the last level." Xue Kong said.

"How did you find out?" Hao Miaojun asked again, "What's in the fifth level?"

"Before the fifth level, the highest level of demon beasts in the desert world was only at the early stage of foundation building. However, the fifth level is a watershed. In the fifth level, demon beasts in the middle stage of foundation building will appear, and in the sixth level, demon beasts in the late stage of foundation building will appear."

"As for the seventh level..." Xue Kong paused and suddenly stopped talking.

Even if he didn't say it, Hao Miaojun could understand what he meant. In the seventh level, there might be monsters that have reached the great perfection of foundation building or even the Jindan stage.

However, that was not enough to worry her. There were six Jindan cultivators in the seventh level. Even if there were Jindan monsters, they would naturally be able to resist them.

But just as Xue Kong said, for the fifth and sixth levels, with her and the owner of Yue Family Villa's strength, it would be fine if they could find the black tower leading to the next level as soon as possible. If they dragged on for too long, their lives might be in danger.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Xue knows this black tower very well. I agree with Fellow Daoist Xue's suggestion and am willing to join forces with you." The owner of Yue Family Villa walked forward with a smile and expressed his opinion.

Xue Kong was not in a hurry and looked at Hao Miaojun.

Hao Miaojun's face was filled with gloom. After a long silence, he spoke again: "One last question, what level have you reached in your cultivation?"

When she asked this question, the owner of Yue Family Villa's eyes flashed and looked at Xue Kong.

Xue Kong smiled slightly: "Fifth-level Daotai, mid-stage foundation building."

Hao Miaojun and the owner of Yue Family Villa fell into a long silence for a while. They looked at Xue Kong with complicated eyes, and a feeling of jealousy rose in their hearts unconsciously.

Back then, Hao Miaojun chased Xue Kong and forced him into a desperate situation.

The owner of Yue Family Villa also regarded Xue Kong as a junior.

Now, not much time has passed, and Xue Kong has already walked ahead of them, leaving them with nothing but to look up at him. This gap makes the two of them feel bitter.
