Qingmu was still concentrating on carving the jade slip when he suddenly sensed that the aura of the person beside him had become clearer.
He raised his head and met Xiang Sheng's bright eyes. He knew that she had made a breakthrough and couldn't help but chuckle:
"Congratulations."
"Congratulations."
Xiang Sheng responded and looked up at the forbidden runes on the hundred-foot cliff with a deep gaze.
The consequences of prohibition are completely different with or without reference.
She has been relying on the incomplete restrictions left by the Abyss Snake Clan to explore on her own until now, but she has barely comprehended the Heavenly Demon Restriction to the level of mastery, which is on par with the Ancient Restriction.
Now, relying on this forbidden mountain, in just six years, the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Technique has surpassed the ancient forbidden techniques and reached perfection.
If she reaches the top of the mountain, will she be able to achieve perfection in the path of the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Zone?
As soon as she thought of this, she heard Qingmu speak again:
"Xue Kun has woken up and seems to have some news about this mountain to share. He's waiting on the steps below."
"oh?"
Xiang Sheng's eyes flashed, he pondered for a moment, then stood up and walked down the mountain.
Soon, she saw Xue Kun and Ji Qingya on the ninth step below.
Xue Kun saw Xiang Sheng and quickly stood up and clasped his fists, looking sincere:
"Thank you Miss Shi for your trouble in rescuing me. I will definitely repay you handsomely in the future for your kindness!"
"There's no need to report it again."
Xiang Sheng's face remained calm, and his tone was even, "Your Highness Xue, please don't repay kindness with enmity."
Xue Kun understood the deep meaning in his words and was startled. He nodded solemnly, "I will keep this secret."
Seeing his sincerity, Xiang Sheng smiled faintly and asked:
"Your Highness Xue, did you remember anything?"
"good."
Xue Kun's face was slightly tense, "Miss Shi is an expert in the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Regulations, so she must know the origin of this Nine-Layered Pagoda. It was built by a friend of the Heavenly Demon King.
At that time, there was no such thing as the Celestial Demon Kingdom. Legend has it that it was thanks to the help of his friends that this Celestial Demon's cultivation greatly increased, allowing him to establish his own celestial kingdom and gain a firm foothold in the astral realm.
I don’t know how many years passed after that, but a major event occurred in the Tianyao Kingdom. I don’t know what the event was, but I only know that it was closely related to taboos.
The memories I got from the forbidden bloodline showed that this nine-story tower had been occupied by the taboo for many years, and its layout had changed greatly.
In particular, this forbidden mountain was originally supposed to be on the seventh floor. The disciples who accepted the test started to break the ban from the bottom of the mountain. If they could reach the top, they would become candidates for the new leader of the Heavenly Demon Kingdom.
Now this mountain has not only fallen to the third level, but also contains taboos and secret plots.
In this way, even if the geniuses of Tianyao Country learn the restrictions, they will only become the lackeys of the taboos.
The existence of that taboo can be used to indirectly control the entire Tianyao Kingdom!
I think it was for this reason that the senior who refined the Nine-Layered Pagoda sealed it off."
When Xiang Sheng heard this, his eyes lit up.
If what Xue Kun said is true, since this tower has become a tool for taboo manipulation, why didn't the master just destroy it back then?
Or was it because the circumstances were special back then and the master had no time to destroy the tower, so he could only seal it temporarily and deal with it later. And then some unexpected events happened and the tower has not been destroyed yet?
Seeing Xiang Sheng remained silent for a long time, Qing Mu asked, "According to what His Highness Xue said, if we can reach the top, we can go directly to the eighth floor?"
"It is possible."
Xue Kun nodded, then shook his head: "However, since this mountain is the threshold for being a candidate for the Heavenly Demon King, the difficulty must be extremely great.
If you want to reach the top, you may need to comprehend the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Realm to the highest level, or even to the state of perfection..."
Having said that, Xue Kun turned his head to look at Xiang Sheng and frowned secretly.
This woman was able to break the seal of the Nine-Layered Pagoda Gate, and her mastery of the Heavenly Demon Ban was at least at the proficient level, but it was still far from perfection.
Even if this woman has enough understanding, it will take at least a thousand years for her to reach perfection, with no upper limit.
The life span of a one-tribulation immortal is equivalent to that of a Mahayana immortal, which is only ten thousand years. I wonder if this woman can hold on.
The world in the tower is sealed off from the heavens and the earth. If she cannot break out of the tower within ten thousand years, this stone girl will probably die because she cannot survive the calamity of the scattered immortals.
By then...
Thinking of this, Xue Kun sighed.
Forget it, why think so much.
He is seriously injured now, and even if he wants to help, he is unable to do so. The most urgent priority is to heal his wounds.
Xue Kun did not try to hide his reaction.
Qingmu saw that he lacked confidence in Boss Shi, raised his eyebrows, and was about to argue for Boss Shi, but took the words back at the tip of his tongue.
He pursed his lips tightly, almost forming a straight line.
What does it have to do with Xue Kun what image Boss Shi has in his eyes? When did he become so nosy?
Could it be that he had been staying with Boss Shi for so long that he actually felt a little at ease?
The woman he loved was gone, and his vengeance was unrequited. How could he be at peace? How could he be at peace?
Qingmu lowered his head and took a deep breath. When he looked up again, there was no gentleness in his eyes, only coldness.
Ji Qingya happened to meet his gaze and was stunned.
What happened to Brother Aoki?
Before he could ask, Xiang Sheng's voice suddenly rang out.
"Qingya, take good care of your brother."
Ji Qingya immediately gave up his previous thoughts upon hearing this, turned to look at Xiang Sheng, grinned, patted his chest and said:
"Sister Shitou, just go ahead and break the ban without worry! My senior brother and I will be here guarding you and won't let anyone come and disturb you."
Xiang Sheng looked at his promised expression, chuckled, nodded, turned and went up the mountain, and Qingmu followed silently.
Soon, the two returned to the top of the stairs.
Xiang Sheng sat down cross-legged, took out an engraved jade slip, and said calmly:
"Go on."
Even Ji Qingya could see Qingmu's emotional changes, and naturally she could not hide it from her perception.
But she had no intention of exploring and just pretended not to see it.
As long as it doesn't affect breaking the ban, what this demon thinks is none of her business.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng quickly cleared his mind of distractions and devoted his entire attention to the deduction.
Less than a day later, Xiang Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, a talismanic light flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand and pressed his palm on the rune on the cliff.
boom!
The next moment, the entire forbidden mountain shook violently.
Xue Kun, who was sitting not far below, felt the vibration and woke up from his meditation. When he looked up, he saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
On the hundred-foot-high cliff shrouded in clouds and mist, half of the inky black forbidden runes melted rapidly due to the shaking of the rocks, turning into a ball of black water.
Then, rune steps condensed and flew out from the black water, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of new steps were built upwards.
Xue Kun stood up unconsciously in shock, his pupils trembling: "Is this... the Great Perfection of Restriction?!"
He didn't say just now that the last hundred feet was a threshold that could not be broken without a great restriction, because he was afraid that Miss Shi would feel timid.
He had been prepared to sit on this stage for a thousand years, but who would have thought that in less than a day, one-fifth of the last hundred-foot restriction had been broken!
"This woman's attainments in forbidden techniques are so powerful?"
Xue Kun muttered to himself, and Ji Qingya couldn't help but look proud when he heard it: "Sister Shitou has always been very powerful, it's just that you, Senior Brother, didn't realize it."
