Chen Tianwen and Qin Zhiruo successfully entered the third floor, only to find that the situation on the third floor was the same as on the second floor. After an hour, Chen Tianwen and Qin Zhiruo finally entered the fourth floor of the tower.
"Um?"
As soon as he entered the fourth floor, Chen Tianwen felt a strong wave of water law wash over him.
"Shui Ling?"
Qin Zhiruo exclaimed in surprise. Chen Tianwen looked in the direction Qin Zhiruo was pointing and saw a creature resembling a human. The water law was emanating from this creature. Shui Ling stood there, staring blankly at Chen Tianwen and Qin Zhiruo.
"Legend has it that only sacred objects of the water attribute can nurture life forms condensed from the laws of water, also known as water spirits! There must be a sacred object of the water attribute here!"
Qin Zhiruo exclaimed in surprise, her breathing becoming somewhat rapid. After all, Qin Zhiruo had already mastered the Law of Water, and if she found a sacred water-attribute artifact, it would definitely allow her cultivation to advance rapidly!
Chen Tianwen nodded. He thought the fourth floor would be empty like the first three floors, but he didn't expect to see the legendary Shui Ling as soon as he entered!
Shui Ling slowly raised her hand and set up a barrier on the fourth level.
"Whoever defeats me can advance to the next level!"
Shui Ling looked at Chen Tianwen and Qin Zhiruo and spoke, but her voice was devoid of emotion.
Chen Tianwen also realized that there might be water spirits in the first three levels, but they were killed by cultivators who had entered the secret realm before.
In other words, no one who entered this place before had ever defeated the Water Spirit of the fourth level.
"Will you make the move, or should I?"
Chen Tian asked Qin Zhiruo beside him, and Qin Zhiruo shook her head and thought for a moment before saying:
"You have no manners at all. How can you leave such fighting and killing to a girl?"
Chen Tianwen nodded and said:
"If I defeat him, I might be teleported directly to the fifth floor, where you won't be able to break the formation."
Qin Zhiruo said irritably:
"Then why did you ask me?"
As Qin Zhiruo spoke, she entered the water spirit's barrier.
Chen Tianwen stood guard at the entrance to the fourth floor, observing how Qin Zhiruo would make her move.
Shui Ling did not emit any aura, and Chen Tianwen could not sense Shui Ling's strength. However, he thought that Shui Ling, who had stood here for nearly 100,000 years and had accepted the challenges of countless experts, must be very strong.
However, Chen Tianwen still had some confidence in Qin Zhiruo. During their time together, Chen Tianwen also knew that although Qin Zhiruo seemed carefree and crazy on the surface, she never did anything without being sure of success.
Since Qin Zhiruo was able to enter the barrier without hesitation and accept Shui Ling's challenge, she must be confident of victory.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the water-attribute sacred object was too attractive to Qin Zhiruo, causing her to lose her mind for a moment!
In any case, this battle should force Qin Zhiruo to reveal some of her trump cards.
Sure enough, as soon as Qin Zhiruo entered the barrier, a watery aura emanated from her.
"Perfected Great Luo Golden Immortal?"
Chen Tianwen said in surprise, "The fourth level has a water spirit that is powerful enough to be in the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Could it be that the fifth level has a water spirit at the Immortal Lord level?"
Chen Tianwen felt a chill run down his spine. If a water spirit at the Immortal Lord level had actually appeared, Chen Tianwen would have turned and left immediately. Even if Chen Tianwen were arrogant, he would not have chosen to confront an Immortal Lord expert head-on now.
However, Chen Tianwen also felt that it was somewhat impossible, because the strength within this secret realm was limited, and the highest level that could appear was a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the peak.
Qin Zhiruo's expression also became serious. To be honest, this was the first time Qin Zhiruo had fought against a powerful expert at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Fortunately, this water spirit only relied on the pure laws of water to attack, without displaying domain power or using immortal techniques.
"Immortal Arts, a mirage!"
Qin Zhiruo dared not be careless and immediately used her signature immortal technique. The superior immortal technique was continuously enhanced within Qin Zhiruo's water domain, eventually reaching the level of a top-tier immortal technique.
An exquisite and elegant ancient waterscape appeared before Qin Zhiruo. The ancient landscape shimmered with light, and the surrounding water laws were subtly absorbed by the ancient landscape.
Although Shui Ling did not use any magic, her pure water laws were still incredibly powerful.
In the hands of the Water Spirit, the Law of Water transformed into a sharp spear, piercing towards that exquisite ancient realm.
When the spear touched the ancient mirror, the water on the mirror rippled and began to gradually engulf the spear, but cracks also appeared on the mirror.
Chen Tianwen looked at Qin Zhiruo in surprise. He didn't expect that Qin Zhiruo could still gain the upper hand in the face of the powerful attack of a perfected Great Luo Golden Immortal. This little girl is indeed not simple.
The ancient mirror quickly absorbed the spear completely, but it was also on the verge of breaking. To Chen Tianwen's surprise, Qin Zhiruo did not continue to control the ancient mirror to attack Shui Ling. Instead, she stretched out her slender hand and pointed at the ancient mirror.
"break!"
Qin Zhiruo uttered the word "broken," and the ancient mirror shattered, transforming into a layer of water armor that draped over her body.
Qin Zhiruo was already beautiful and charming, but now, wearing the water armor, she looked even more ethereal. Even Chen Tianwen, who was used to seeing beautiful women, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Qin Zhiruo clearly wanted to end the battle quickly, because the longer the fight went on, the more she would expose to Chen Tianwen.
Qin Zhiruo took out a Water Moon Immortal Fan, which was a Dao-level immortal artifact. Although Chen Tianwen was not particularly fond of Dao-level immortal artifacts, he knew that they provided a huge boost to immortals.
Shui Ling remained expressionless, ignoring Qin Zhiruo's changes, and continued to unleash waves of water-based laws to attack Qin Zhiruo.
Holding the Water Moon Fairy Fan, Qin Zhiruo waved it continuously, and Shui Ling's attacks were all neutralized by Qin Zhiruo.
To Chen Tianwen's surprise, Qin Zhiruo was able to condense immortal techniques while dealing with Shui Ling's attacks. Chen Tianwen had only seen this kind of ability to multitask when experts were crushing weaklings. Could it be that even when facing Shui Ling, a perfected Great Luo Golden Immortal, Qin Zhiruo was unable to use her full strength?
"Celestial Technique, Water Dragon's Roar!"
A massive silver water dragon appeared within the barrier. With the enhancement of a Dao-level immortal artifact and the Law of Water, Chen Tianwen estimated that the power of this immortal technique should have surpassed the category of top-tier immortal techniques, but it was still some distance from a Dao-level immortal technique.
This was the most powerful attack Chen Tianwen had ever seen since ascending to the Xuanxian Realm.
Chen Tianwen compared his own immortal techniques with the Water Dragon's Roar in his mind and was surprised to find that only the Silent Five Elements Lotus could rival it!
