The Flame Spirits agreed without much thought, but they asked Dongfang Mian to leave them a trace of the Heavenly Dao Power so that, after many years, they could nurture the Heavenly Dao Power anew.
As a kind-hearted and easy-going person, Dongfang Mian naturally agreed immediately. Thus, the Flame Spirits handed over the maximum amount of Heavenly Dao power they could offer, which Dongfang Mian quickly refined and absorbed, successfully entering the Divine Emperor Realm.
After consolidating his realm, Dongfang Mian entered the third level.
Outside the Divine Tower, the Temple Master was idly explaining the rules of the Divine Tower to the Grand Commander.
"The Divine Lord Tower has ten floors in total, but only nine floors are used for assessment. They are divided into three lower floors, three middle floors, and three upper floors according to their difficulty. The tenth floor is where the Divine Lord's Throne is located. Sitting on it means you have passed the assessment of the Divine Lord Tower," said the Divine Lord Palace Master. "The lower three floors are assessments of the combat power of six random elemental spirits, the middle three floors are assessments of random illusions, predicaments, and killing situations, and the upper three floors are assessments of ancient orthodox divine beasts."
"There are ancient mythical beasts in the Divine Tower?" The Grand Commander clicked his tongue in amazement.
"It voluntarily stayed to guard the Divine Tower in ancient times. At that time, it was just a cub. Ancient divine beasts have a very long growth period. The ancient divine beast that the Divine Lord encountered during the previous assessment was only a cub. Now it is probably an adult," the Divine Lord Temple Master said after thinking for a moment.
"Wouldn't that put Dongfang in danger?!" the commander-in-chief said worriedly.
The Temple Master waved his hand, "You don't need to worry too much. It would take her at least a thousand years to get through the lower three levels. And it will be ten thousand years before she reaches the upper three levels."
Just as the Grand Commander breathed a sigh of relief, he noticed the lights on the three lower floors of the shrine suddenly went out. He immediately asked, "What does this mean? Did we fail?"
The Temple Master said, slowly and deliberately, "She has already passed the lower three levels."
What?! The Grand Commander was completely dumbfounded. Didn't they just say it would take at least a thousand years? This isn't even a thousand breaths, let alone a thousand years! Is the Divine Tower broken?!
Seeing the doubt in the Grand Commander's eyes, the Temple Master of the Divine Lord shook his head and said, "There's no problem with the Divine Lord Tower. Could it be that this Dongfang Mian has some talent that we haven't discovered yet?"
What puzzled the Temple Master the most was that the Divine Tower should have been destroyed one floor at a time, so why did it only destroy them all at once after passing through three floors this time?
Actually, it was because the figure on the throne was too angry and turned away from Dongfang Mian; unexpectedly, she had cleared all three levels in just a short while…
At this moment, Dongfang Mian was sitting on the ground of the third floor, refining the power of the Heavenly Dao from the Water Spirit. Several Water Spirits were trembling as they watched Dongfang Mian from the corner. They hadn't seen such an inhuman bandit in a long time. "Waaah, I really want to return to the sea."
Having reached the mid-stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, Dongfang Mian continued her journey towards the fourth level.
A sign on the way from the third to the fourth floor reads: "Everything that follows, as you can see, is fake."
"It seems to be an illusion," Dongfang Mian thought to herself, then took a deep breath and stepped into the fourth layer of the restriction.
Outside the Divine Tower, the bright yellow lights on the middle three floors had all turned red, and the Grand Commander immediately turned his gaze to the Divine Palace Master.
The Temple Master, looking embarrassed, took out a book about the God Tower from his storage ring and began to look it up. "Found it. When the third floor of the same level turns red, it means that the God Tower Guardian has activated the Tower Spirit Privilege, merging the contents of the three floors together, which will greatly increase the difficulty."
