Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 904: Chapter 904: Contending for the Treasure Pagoda

Having just entered Qingxu College, Ling Xiao didn’t rush to cultivate new martial arts, as the Light and Shadow Sword Technique and the legacy of the light and shadow were enough to keep him busy.

The profundities within, even for him who possessed the Mountain and River Martial Soul, couldn’t be fully understood in a short time.

As the saying goes, a fall into the pit, a gain in your wit. He had learned too many things in the past and now naturally needed to focus more on one thing.

”Ling Xiao, you’re finally back. I don’t want to ask where you’ve been, but as the saying goes, a boat going against the current must forge ahead or it will be driven back. Right now, Phoenix God College’s momentum is fierce. After the Emperor publicly announced cooperation with the True Demon Empire, many from the Sea Race have joined Phoenix God College. Our Qingxu College is facing even greater resistance in the Tianyuan Treasure Pagoda.”

Ling Xiao had been away for two days, and Feng Yanran had been restless.

Because she was very clear about the true identity of the ghost-faced man.

It didn’t need guessing.

Seeing Ling Xiao return, the heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

”Qingxu College won’t be driven out of the Tianyuan Treasure Pagoda, right? That would be somewhat too weak.”

Ling Xiao said, frowning.

”Of course not, in fact, at the upper levels of the Tianyuan Treasure Pagoda, Qingxu College actually has an advantage. However, the further down you go, the greater the advantage Phoenix God College has.”

Feng Yanran explained, ”Recently, because Phoenix God College has been very active and recruited many Heavenly Pulse Warriors and Martial Artists at the Heavenly Man Realm, these people have almost completely occupied the cultivation rooms on the first three floors, preventing the freshmen of Qingxu College from having the opportunity to cultivate there.”

”What is the cultivation level of the warriors on these first three floors?”

Ling Xiao asked.

”They’re principally Heavenly Pulse Warriors and Martial Artists at the One-line Heaven and Taiji Heaven Realms,”

Feng Yanran answered.

”That’s not too worrying.”

Ling Xiao let out a slight sigh of relief; if it was just warriors of these realms, he could manage.

However, he was still a bit puzzled, so he asked, ”Don’t the higher-level warriors interfere with the conflicts among the lower-level ones?”

”There are no explicit rules about this, but there is an unspoken rule in everyone’s heart: fights between warriors on the same level are permissible, but if those from the higher levels bully the lower ones, it’s deemed rule-breaking and could lead to a mass brawl between the two colleges.”

Feng Yanran explained.

”Alright, I’ve got a rough understanding. Let’s head to the Tianyuan Treasure Pagoda together. I am really a bit anxious to increase my cultivation level now, and that place is essential.”

After Ling Xiao got a general idea of the situation, he didn’t waste any more words. He activated his body movement technique and headed towards the direction of the Tianyuan Treasure Pagoda.

Only when you got closer could you witness the wonder of the Tianyuan Treasure Pagoda.

This object was like a huge magnet, and the surrounding spiritual qi was like iron filings, constantly being drawn into the pagoda, making the density of spiritual qi here denser than any other place, naturally making it extremely suitable for cultivation.

What’s more amazing is that there are multiple magic arrays enhancing the Tianyuan Treasure Pagoda, not only absorbing the surrounding spiritual qi but also drawing in the essence of the sun and the moon to generate spiritual qi.

This made the spiritual qi here even richer than many Earth Vein qi sources and was continuously flowing.

”This Tianyuan Treasure Pagoda of the Phoenix God Empire is not much less compared to the cultivation mysterious realms of the Five Immortal Islands. The Seven Great Martial Islands and the Black Crow Empire are very envious of it,”

Feng Yanran explained.

”They’ve come too, eh?”

When he approached the area, Ling Xiao saw Lan Yu’er, Ying Wu Ya, Joshua Long, and many disciples from Qingxu College standing there.

They had arrived at the base of the Tianyuan Treasure Pagoda, yet were unable to enter to cultivate, and their expressions were not very good.

”Each level of the Tianyuan Treasure Pagoda has ten individual cultivation rooms and one large cultivation room. The individual cultivation rooms are naturally the best, where you can cultivate undisturbed and enjoy the spiritual qi by yourself. The more people the large cultivation room accommodates, the poorer the effect of cultivation there.”

As they walked, Feng Yanran explained, ”Not only has Phoenix God College occupied twenty-five out of the first thirty individual cultivation rooms, but they also disallow our Qingxu College’s disciples from entering the large cultivation room at all. They are truly domineering.”

”Doesn’t the Royal Family do anything about this?”

Ling Xiao asked.

”They never bother with disputes between the two colleges, and even if they do, they always favor the Phoenix God College. Now, Qingxu College is at a disadvantage on the first three floors, so they naturally turn a blind eye.”

Feng Yanran said indignantly.

”If that’s the case, then it’s easy to handle.”

Ling Xiao highly respected rules set by others, but if some people didn’t follow them first, then he felt no need to abide by them either.

Your Phoenix God College is overbearing and unreasonable?

I am more domineering!

Even more unreasonable!

”Ling Xiao, you’ve arrived!”

Ji Mingkong was the first to spot Ling Xiao and Feng Yanran.

Ling Xiao nodded slightly. The instant he stepped into the Tianyuan Treasure Pagoda’s cultivation range, he sensed the spiritual Qi that permeated from within the pagoda—terribly powerful.

Many Qingxu College disciples, unable to enter the cultivation rooms, could only helplessly cultivate near the pagoda. Though the effect was far from that of a cultivation room, it was still much better than other places.

”Ji Mingkong, you should be able to snatch a private cultivation room, right? Why not make a move?”

Looking at the Phoenix God College martial artists guarding the entrance to the cultivation rooms, Ling Xiao asked.

Among those martial artists, the one with the highest cultivation level was only at the Taiji Heaven Realm. Given Ji Mingkong’s strength paired with the Heavenly Secret Martial Soul, he should be able to win.

”Waiting for you!” Ji Mingkong said with a smile.

”There’s no need to wait now. Daniel, Elizabeth, Leng Hao, Yuling, Yaoling, Ying Wu Ya—you six, take action. If they won’t let you use the grand cultivation room, snatch the private ones. With your current strength, that shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Following the calamity in the Heavenly Dragon Continent, it could be said that fortunes and misfortunes intertwined.

Although it was tough, these few had significantly improved their cultivation levels through the trials.

Especially Dai Yuling, Dai Yaoling, and Leng Hao; their cultivation levels had now equaled that of Ling Xiao.

All were Breakthrough Sky Meridian Martial Artists.

Daniel and Elizabeth Zhao, along with Ying Wu Ya, were slightly less powerful, with their cultivation reaching the level of Growing Sky Meridian Martial Artists.

In addition, Lan Yu’er had already broken through to the One-line Heaven Cultivation level, surpassing Ling Xiao after his cultivation had regressed.

Ji Mingkong was a bit more fierce, already at the Taiji Heaven Peak cultivation level, not far from the Three Talents Heavenly Realm.

”Understood!”

With Ling Xiao as their pillar, the several individuals hesitated no longer and took action.

Among the guards that the Phoenix God College had set up on the first floor, the strongest were Breakthrough Sky Meridian Martial Artists who stood no chance against the six, and were all defeated.

Only then did everyone discover that among the ten private rooms, eight were actually empty.

The Phoenix God College was truly occupying the toilets without using them.

”Why did they take the private rooms and not enter to cultivate?”

Ling Xiao asked, puzzled.

”Although the grand cultivation room has a lesser effect than the private rooms, it’s free, while the private rooms have a fee.

The charge for the first floor is a hundred low-grade spirit stones per day, which many find too expensive, hence their reluctance to use them,” Feng Yanran explained.

Hearing this, Ling Xiao cursed, ”No wonder, those Phoenix God College martial artists are truly disgusting—too broke to cultivate themselves, yet preventing others from doing so. They really deserve a beating!”
