The construction date of the Shushan Demon Locking Tower is unknown.
The entire tower has a total of 95 floors. According to convention, the first to 29th floors are for untransformed monsters, the 30th to 49th floors are for transformed monsters, the 50th to 89th floors are for cave realm monster kings, and the 90th floor and below are for great monsters in the ancestor realm.
Of course, the above rules are not set in stone.
For example, Shushan captured a demon king in the Dongyuan realm and imprisoned him in a cave on the 60th floor of the Demon Locking Tower.
This demon king married and had children, reproduced, and finally created a population. Naturally, there were demons from those who had never transformed into human form to those who had transformed into human form. It can only be said that the highest level in the 60th level is the demon king in the Dongyuan realm.
But generally speaking, the lower the level, the more dangerous the monsters imprisoned there are.
"Because of this, the forbidden barrier of the Demon Locking Tower itself is also increasingly strict as you go down." The Long-Eyebrowed Immortal stroked his beard and said, "But leaks in the Demon Locking Tower throughout the ages have basically occurred in the middle and lower levels, not the upper levels."
"The 30th floor is the Four Symbols Formation's Core, the 50th floor is the Two Yin and Yang Formation's Core, and the 95th floor, which is the bottom floor, is the Tai Chi Formation's Core of the Demon Locking Tower."
"Each array eye is the core of the restriction, so it must not be damaged. You need to patrol and inspect it regularly. I will pass on to you the method of manipulating the array eye restriction. This method can only be passed on orally, and cannot be recorded in writing."
The Immortal with Long Eyebrows recited a long passage of incantations and asked Ling Yunpo to memorize it all. He then took out the Liang Yi Micro Dust Sword and said:
"You are still unable to master the Taiyin Suming Sword. After I leave the Demon Locking Tower, the Liangyi Weichen Sword will temporarily remain in the Demon Locking Tower, and you can use it at will."
"If the Demon Locking Tower is leaked again and cannot be recovered, you will activate this sword to launch the Yin-Yang Micro-Dust Sword Formation and make sure to kill the escaped demons!"
After saying that, the Long-Eyebrowed Immortal threw the Yin-Yang Microdust Sword and asked it to hang directly on the sword pillar, meaning "I'll just leave it here."
After listening to the teachings of the Long-browed Immortal, Ling Yunpo said goodbye and left the bottom floor of the Demon Locking Tower.
He flew his sword around the tower and finally stopped at the top of the Demon Locking Tower. He asked Kunlun Mirror in his heart:
"A Jing, what do you think of the restrictions of the Demon Locking Tower?"
"Perfect." Kunlun Jing praised it without reservation. "You can see that the construction technology of this Demon Locking Tower is far beyond the current level that the Shushan Shangqing Sect can understand."
"Although the Long-Eyebrowed Immortal has a long lifespan, he is still not proficient in formations, and can only exert one or two percent of the restrictions of the Demon Locking Tower."
"That's right." Ling Yunpo said with emotion, "If I were to maintain the restrictions of the Demon Locking Tower, how could any demon escape? Ridiculous!"
“However, the effect of the fragment of the Heaven-Repairing Stone is greater than we originally expected.” Kunlun Jing said seriously, “I think it is because there has never been anyone in Shushan who is proficient in formations, and no one has ever properly maintained the restrictions of the Demon Locking Tower.”
"With the increasing number of demons in the tower and several major damages in history, the loopholes in the prohibition system are increasing."
"So the Immortal Changmei came up with a permanent solution, which is to embed the fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone into the restriction, and fill in the gaps wherever there are any..."
"What a waste of resources!" Ling Yunpo said helplessly, "If I take away the fragments of the Heaven-Bulding Stone rashly, I don't know how many loopholes that were originally covered up will be exposed... It means that I have to repair the restriction from beginning to end before I can take away the fragments of the Heaven-Bulding Stone!"
"That can't be helped." Kunlun Mirror comforted him, "Aren't you going to defect from Shushan sooner or later? Repairing the restrictions of the Demon Locking Tower for Shushan can be considered as compensation to them."
"What you said does make sense." Ling Yunpo said with emotion, "Alas, my moral bottom line is too high. Otherwise, as the dignified Taiyin Sword Master, I would not have fallen to the level of a formation repairman."
Kunlun Mirror and Su Ming Sword were both speechless, thinking, apart from repairing the restrictions of the Demon Locking Tower and removing the fragments of the Sky-Burn Stone from the restrictions, what other methods do you have?
Ah Jing is mocking you! Are you pretending not to hear it? Your moral bottom line is indeed beyond the ordinary...
When Ling Yunpo returned to Qingluo Peak, he saw An Zhisu drinking in the pavilion behind the Taoist temple.
"Sister, why are you drinking alone without calling me?" He quickly entered the pavilion, snatched the wine pot from An Zhisu, and poured himself a glass. "Eating alone, right?"
An Zhisu was already feeling a bit depressed, as he felt that his junior brother had become much more distant from him recently. He also hated his own low level of cultivation, so he drank alone at the back of the Taoist temple to drown his sorrows. He got so drunk that he didn't even react when his junior brother came to snatch the wine jug.
"Give it back to me!" When she finally came to her senses, she refused to comply and rushed over to grab the wine jug, "This is mine!"
"Give me another sip and I'll return it to you!" Ling Yunpo dodged left and right, with his back turned to Senior Sister An as she poured himself some wine.
An Zhisu couldn't get around to his front, so she simply hugged him from behind, put her hands under his armpits, and grabbed the spout of the wine jug with force.
"Senior Sister, you caught the wrong person! You caught the wrong person!"
Ling Yunpo quickly begged for mercy and handed over the wine jug in his hand.
An Zhisu took the wine jug, let go of his fellow apprentice brother who was covered in cold sweat, and started drinking by himself.
Her long, jet-black hair was spread out behind her head, her slender, white neck was raised high, and the clear wine slid from the corner of her mouth, along the graceful collarbone of her neck, and flowed into the bottomless folds of her Taoist robe.
Ling Yunpo was watching from the side, swallowing his saliva. In order to hide his desire for the wine, he could only change the subject and ask:
"Why do you look so unhappy, Senior Sister? Is there something troubling you?"
"I don't have anything to worry about..." An Zhisu muttered subconsciously, and then stared at Ling Yunpo angrily.
Why am I upset, don't you know?
But no matter what, the senior sister was worried about her cultivation not being as good as her junior brother. It was not easy to tell this to her junior brother - it would make her appear overly sensitive and embarrassing.
Therefore, An Zhisu also skillfully changed the subject and said:
"Of course it's because after you became the Taiyin Sword Master, you abandoned me and me."
"How could I abandon my senior sister!" Ling Yunpo widened his eyes.
"When was the last time you practiced sword skills with me?" An Zhisu began to count on his fingers. "And when was the last time you drank with me?"
"Ah, this..." Ling Yunpo was immediately unable to answer.
It wasn't because he hadn't been with Senior Sister An for a long time, but because so many things had happened since the last Shushan save that he couldn't remember them all.
Seeing Ling Yunpo hesitating, An Zhisu suddenly felt disheartened, so he simply picked up the wine jug and walked towards his own room.
