Lingxufang Market, Yingxian Inn.

Shen Yuan sat cross-legged in the training room of the inn and slowly put away the last volume of the "Purple Star Numbers", a method for practicing the Earthly Demonic Powers.

Five days had passed since he completed the transaction with He Changzai. Five days ago, Shen Yuan moved into the Yingxian Inn on the outskirts of the market town, trying to comprehend the various cultivation methods he had acquired in the Chamber of Commerce of All Things.

What Shen Yuan placed the highest hopes on was naturally the five volumes of methods for cultivating the Earthly Demonic Powers.

Although the magical power already has an owner in this space and time, and it is impossible to comprehend the mysteries contained therein by relying on this book of cultivation methods, this still cannot dispel Shen Yuan's curiosity.

After a few days of contemplation, Shen Yuan has gained some understanding of the methods of practicing the five volumes of Earthly Demonic Powers.

Because Shen Yuan himself possesses several Earthly Evil magical powers, and even has the Heavenly Gang great magical power.

Therefore, these unique methods of practicing the Earthly Demonic Powers in this world were not too obscure to read, and Shen Yuan could understand them easily.

Even under the influence of the Earthly Demon's magical power of analogy, Shen Yuan could even vaguely glimpse the true meaning of the Earthly Demon contained therein.

But seeing the true meaning does not mean being able to touch it.

Even if Shen Yuan engraved all the contents of the five volumes of the method of practicing the Earthly Demon Magical Power into his spiritual altar, he could not really touch the true meaning, let alone transform it into a usable magical power.

To Shen Yuan, these methods of cultivating the Earthly Demonic Powers were like mirages that could only be viewed from a distance but not approached up close.

And this is even though Shen Yuan himself possesses several Disha and Tiangang magical powers.

If an ordinary practitioner were to come into contact with the method of practicing the Earthly Demonic Power, it would be difficult for him to even remember it in his mind, let alone comprehend its true meaning.

"Sure enough, this world's only characteristic cannot be violated at all. Even if the artificial intelligence system realizes that the rain-praying magic power has an owner, it can only change the reward.

It seems that if one wants to truly comprehend the method of practicing the Earthly Demonic Powers, one still needs to go back to the future and confirm whether these magical powers still exist.

If the inheritance of magical powers is cut off, relying on these methods of cultivating the Disha magical powers will enable one to cultivate the Disha magical powers. There is no other way."

Shen Yuan let out a soft sigh.

Among these five volumes of methods for practicing the Earthly Demonic Powers, the most obscure and difficult one is not the highest-ranked Moon-Taking Power, but the volume called "Purple Star Numbers".

"Purple Star Numbers" involves astrology and numerology, which is a completely new field for Shen Yuan. It is also the method that Shen Yuan needs to supplement the most at the moment.

If Shen Yuan had to choose one of the five volumes of Disha magical powers that could play a role in future generations, he would definitely choose "Purple Star Numbers".

It's a pity that the astrological power already has an owner. Even if Shen Yuan meditates on it for several days, he can hardly get started with "Purple Star Numbers", let alone learn the method of astrological deduction.

Slightly calming down his fluctuating thoughts, Shen Yuan walked out of the training room in the inn, opened the window and looked at the streets of the market below.

Shen Yuan did not go out these days, but the Yingxian Inn would proactively deliver various rumors about the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower trial every day, and he learned a lot of important information.

The Xuanhuang Qi riot five days ago did not cause much harm because Shen Yuan acted in time. It only destroyed a large number of restaurants and inns in the core area of ​​Lingxufang City.

However, this was ultimately a disaster. Coupled with the fact that several of the major sects' geniuses who had achieved the state of transformation were seriously injured, the reputation of Lingxu Market was also greatly affected.

The disciples from various blessed lands living in Lingxu Market took this opportunity to leave Lingxu Market and head to the other two markets.

In recent days, the number of disciples from large sects in Lingxu Market has become increasingly scarce, while the number of disciples from small sects and independent cultivators has begun to increase continuously, and their number is the largest among the three major markets.

But considering the overall strength, the strength of practitioners in Lingxu City ranks last among the three major cities.

The major sects in the two neighboring Chongyue and Tingchao markets gathered together and almost monopolized most of the blessed places that came to the Zhenlong small world.

According to rumors, in these two major markets, there are three saint sons of the Dongtian Holy Land, the third prince of the Dayin royal family, and nearly a hundred disciples from various sects in the Spirit Transformation Realm.

In the daily reports of Yingxian Inn in the past few days, a large amount of information about these saints and princes was recorded.

These saints and princes all have the cultivation level of a true spirit cultivator, but it is unknown whether they are in the early or middle stages.

The gossipers in the three major markets all believed that these saints and princes had impressive cultivation bases and were expected to reach the 15th floor of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, breaking the record set by the Emperor Tianwu nine thousand years ago.

Flipping through the latest edition of the Yingxian Daily, the content about the Third Prince of Dayin, whose identities had been revealed, took up the most space, while there was very little information about the other three Holy Sons of the Dongtian Holy Land.

Shen Yuan knew very well that such a result was actually normal. The third prince of Dayin was the most talented person in the contemporary Dayin royal family and had long wanted to compete for the throne of the Human Emperor.

The biggest purpose of coming to this Zhenlong small world to participate in the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower trial is to make friends with outstanding disciples from major sects, and compete for the championship of the trial to spread his reputation and accumulate fame for the position of Human Emperor.

With the intentional fanning of the flames by the Third Prince of Dayin and the forces under his command, the Third Prince of Dayin's reputation naturally grew day by day.

As for the three Holy Sons of the Cave Heaven Sacred Land, except for the two Holy Sons Zuoshen Youxu Zhitian and Ziyu Qingping Zhitian who have already been confirmed, it is not even known which Cave Heaven Sacred Land the last Holy Son came from.

Shen Yuan casually glanced at the information on the Yingxian Daily and was about to put the newspaper down, but a page in the corner of the newspaper attracted Shen Yuan's attention.

"The current leader of Tianyun Sect, He Changzai, claimed that the winner of the trial might not be the Holy Son of Dongtian or the Third Prince of Dayin."

Below this brief message, there are comments from several monks.

Master Zizai: He Changzai has not even reached the realm of refining the spirit. It is impossible for him to glimpse the secrets of heaven with his few tricks.

Taoist Qingyu: I remember that the Tianyun Sect was once on equal footing with the Tianji Pavilion. I never thought that it would fall to this point in just five thousand years. It is really ridiculous that the leader of the Tianyun Sect would say such absurd words.

When Shen Yuan saw this message, he immediately thought of the old monk who sold him "Purple Star Numbers" for only one spirit stone.

Shen Yuan vaguely felt that the old cultivator at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation stage might have really seen through something when he did this.

"The Tianyun Sect is not just a name for nothing."

The news in the newspaper was just a brief episode. Shen Yuan put the newspaper down and prepared to leave the room.

The time for the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower trial to begin is approaching, and we should make preparations in advance.

Just as Shen Yuan was about to step out of the room, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and his eyes suddenly looked towards the magnificent tower outside the window that reached into the sky.

Almost at the same time, four elegantly dressed young cultivators from the two major markets of Chongyue and Tingchao, and the Soul-Refining Masters who were in charge of the three major markets, all looked towards the pagoda together.

The mysterious yellow energy that was hanging from the top of the tower to the earth completely stopped at this moment.

At the bottom of the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, the precious light that had shone for tens of thousands of years disappeared. Along with the violent shaking of the earth, three ancient doors slowly opened.

The trial of Xuanhuang Linglong Tower begins!

Almost in an instant, the three markets fell into silence at the same time, and the next moment, dazzling rays of light rushed towards the tall tower dozens of miles away.

The hundred escaping lights in the front were very powerful, and wherever they went, the Yuan Qi drums and stirred up a large storm. These escaping lights were all the geniuses of the Transformation Realm from the various cave heavens and blessed lands. They used the power of the Yin God to activate the method of flying, which made their escaping speed far exceed that of ordinary Qi training monks.

Behind them, thousands of rays of light symbolizing the aura of the Qi training realm were like a rain of starlight falling from the sky, attracting the astonishment of countless people in the market.

"The Xuanhuang Linglong Tower Trial lasts for half a year. Why are they so eager to challenge the tower?"

A casual Qigong practitioner in the market town couldn't help but ask.

The monk who was setting up a stall on the other side said sarcastically:

“Fool, although the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower is a place of trial, it does not reward any spiritual objects or magic weapons, but every time it is opened, the first person to break through the trial level will receive a blessing from the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower.

As long as one can seize the initiative, even a cultivator in the Qi Transformation Realm has the opportunity to take first place in a certain level.

Even breaking the historical record, reaching the fifteenth floor or even higher for the first time, one can obtain a trace of mysterious luck from the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower. "

The Qigong cultivator who asked the question was startled for a moment, then asked:

"Since you know this, why don't you fight for it?"

"Fighting?" The monk who was setting up the stall showed a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"I just said there is a chance, but do you really think those fast-running Spiritualization and Qi Training cultivators can snatch the blessing of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower?"

As soon as he finished speaking, four powerful auras suddenly rose into the sky from the two major markets of Chongyue and Tingchao. They were the three saints of the Dongtian Holy Land and the third prince of the Dayin royal family.

All four of them displayed their spiritual cultivation. The Yang God's Dharma image manifested behind them, and their aura was as hot as the morning sun. Even though they were in the market town, they could still feel the powerful Yang God's force that illuminated all things.

The next moment, four beams of light easily crossed dozens of miles in an instant and rushed into the gate of the first floor of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower just before those gods arrived.

In the direction of Chongyue and Tingchaofang City, the first level of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower was immediately lit up, and the first level was broken through!

Then, almost in the next breath, the second and third levels were broken through!

When the first group of Divine Transformation cultivators arrived at the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, the four saints and princes had already climbed to the sixth floor of the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda with unstoppable force.

Everyone looked at the floors of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower that were constantly lighting up with admiration. The speed of the floors in the direction of Chongyue and Tingchaofang City were breaking through at almost the same speed.

Only the gate corresponding to Lingxu Market had no real spirit cultivators, and even the spirit-transforming cultivators were few and far between. When the other two major markets broke through to the sixth floor, Lingxu Market had just broken through the first floor.

In the two major markets of Chongyue and Tingchao, monks kept making mocking remarks:

“It is indeed a place where independent cultivators and small sects gather. I don’t expect them to catch up with the Third Prince and his men, but they can’t even find a few Divine Transformation cultivators. They are really not up to par.”

"I remember that Taiyuan Xuanzhen and Zixuan Dongzhao's team leaders, the Divine Transformation Cultivators, both praised a cultivator from a small sect in Lingxufang City. It seems that he is just that good."

"In the face of such a major event, small sects and independent cultivators cannot take the stage.

For example, the old fellow from the Tianyun Sect said that the people who broke the record were not the saints or princes. He was really ignorant. "

There was silence in Lingxu Market.

Everyone can see that the gap that is visible to the naked eye cannot be made up for by a few words of self-comforting.

The cultivators present had no sense of identity with Lingxu Market, but those who were able to stay here were basically cultivators from small sects and independent cultivators who represented the middle and lower levels of the cultivation world.

Seeing such a huge gap between them and the real sect disciples, they couldn't help but feel a little confused.

At this moment, Shen Yuan, who had withdrawn his gaze from the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, finally moved.

He first went downstairs to check out of the room in the lobby of Yingxian Inn, and then walked onto the mostly deserted street.

Shen Yuan walked to the end of the street while touring the stalls around him, forming a sharp contrast with those practitioners who were in a hurry.

Only after walking out of the long street did Shen Yuan begin to rise into the air and fly towards the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower.

At this moment, the four saints and princes in the spirit refining realm had already reached the ninth floor, but as they stepped into the ninth floor, their speed finally slowed down.

The competition in the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower is not just about martial arts and cultivation. In the early levels, those masters of the Spirit Refining Realm can rely on their cultivation to crush them, but in the later levels, they will need a certain amount of time to crack them.

As for cultivators with lower cultivation levels, they often need to spend more than ten days studying to break through a level of trial.

And Shen Yuan finally arrived under the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower.

The pagoda that reaches into the sky has already gathered the mysterious energy, but beneath that majestic tower, humans are so small that they are not even as big as an ant.

Shen Yuan took a step and entered the first floor of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower.

The space changed in an instant, and Shen Yuan's Hutian magical power, which was about to enter the third realm, was unable to capture the rhythm of space here, as if all space was merged into one whole.

The next moment, Shen Yuan appeared in front of a cold stone platform. In front of him were three doors with the words "Heaven", "Earth" and "Man" written on them respectively.

The Tianzi Gate is pure white in color, like auspicious clouds, and the images of gods and Buddhas are depicted on it.

The Di Gate is bright yellow in colour, and above it are images of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas.

The human-shaped gate is dark black in color, and on it are recorded the images of kings, princes, generals, peddlers, and porters, which are the images of all living beings.

The Xuanhuang Linglong Tower has been opened for tens of thousands of years, but very little information remains about the trials inside the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower.

The only thing Shen Yuan knew was that the Human-shaped Gate recorded the history of the Xuanhuang Realm from ancient times to the present, which seemed to be closely related to the birth of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower.

When you choose the herringbone door, a piece of past history will appear randomly. After completing this piece of history, you can break through to the next level.

Since the cultivation levels of historical figures that appear at lower levels are not very high, those powerful spirit-refining masters can simply kill everyone and forcibly break through this period of history.

Until the subsequent higher levels, the cultivation realm of the historical figures will gradually improve. Among them, there are many high-level cultivators in the spirit refining realm or even higher. They must go through the process to complete the task, so the clearance time will gradually increase.

This is also the reason why the progress of those saints and princes was slow after they broke into the ninth level, because after the ninth level, there would be true spirit cultivators, and it would be impossible to complete the trial by force.

There was only information about the Renzi Gate in Lingxu Market, but there was no news at all about the Dizi Gate or the Tianzi Gate.

Perhaps only in those large sects with a Taoist heritage of tens of thousands of years can the information of the Di Zi Sect and the Tian Zi Sect be recorded.

Shen Yuan stopped in front of the three doors and did not choose to step into the herringbone door immediately.

Although the Renzi Sect is the history of the Xuanhuang Realm, a certain level of strength is required to complete its history. According to the deduction of the cultivation world, if one wants to reach the highest level with the Renzi Sect, one must at least have the cultivation level of a Great True Man Huanxu.

Since Shen Yuan's goal was to reach the top, he was destined to be unable to reach the top through conventional means, and could only choose to find another way.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan looked towards the Di Gate on the right, reached out and pushed open the bright yellow gate depicting mountains and rivers.
