Chapter 392

The Demon-Locking Tower was of great importance and could only be placed on Tongtian Peak, to be suppressed by Jiang Yan personally.

But saying it was suppression was just keeping watch.

There were still existences at the peak of Refinement of Void and Integration of Dao inside; for the current Jiang Yan, the word "suppression" was not applicable.

The matter of what big BOSS was inside the Demon-Locking Tower also spread throughout Shushan, and at first, the disciples were a bit panicked.

That was a demon stronger than the Sect Master.

But after knowing that it was a Demon-Locking Tower forged by a Golden Immortal powerhouse, the disciples started blowing up Shushan again.

With the Demon-Locking Tower appearing in the world, Zhongli was the first to come and request to enter it to start cultivation.

However, he was rejected by Jiang Yan.

For one, the Demon-Locking Tower had just recovered, and it was still a bit chaotic inside, with more demons on the lower levels, causing it to be a mess inside right now.

Rushing in would only lead to a dead end.

Moreover, Zhongli also had to hold the Rite of Descension to completely resign and retire, so it was better to be safe for these few days.

From then on, for a short time, the Demon-Locking Tower just became a major scenic spot in Shushan.

However, there weren't many who were qualified to visit.

Tongtian Peak wasn't a place anyone could come to just because they wanted to.

Ganyu, after dual cultivation with Jiang Yan these past few days, was also approaching her tribulation.

She was currently in seclusion preparing, and after she came out of seclusion, it would be time for Ganyu to undergo tribulation and achieve the status of an expert in Refinement of Qi and Spirit Transformation.

Furina, Miko, and the others were so envious of Ganyu's opportunity that their eyes were red.

They wanted to learn, but when it came to the critical moment, these two braggarts became cowards again.

The cultivation of many other disciples was also quite smooth.

The Outer Sect disciples completed their re-cultivation, most of them were at the Foundation Establishment stage, with few at the early stage of Essence Refinement and Qi Transformation.

And the Inner Sect disciples, even Collei, had already achieved the early stage of Essence Refinement and Qi Transformation.

The talent of Inner and Outer Sect disciples was, after all, a chasm.

These past few days, Hu Tao and the others had also initially mastered the Imperial Sword Art, and perhaps because the techniques they chose were too compatible.

They had also entered the door.

It was just that Hu Tao's Ten Thousand Ghost Illustrated Record hadn't been able to collect a single evil ghost yet.

Tartaglia's Inverted Blood Demon Blade could only be used on fierce beasts and monsters for the time being.

Yelan's "Knight-Errant Journey" was also testing the waters on fierce beasts and monsters, and by the way, accumulating contribution points.

The progress of the three most lethal techniques was, however, the slowest.

After all...

Their techniques were either for killing people or capturing souls.

Without these two channels, it was difficult to become stronger.

Xingqiu and Chongyun, on the other hand, were practicing "City-Toppling Love" secretly every day, and their strength was soaring the fastest.

As for Furina, she was still the same; these past few days she had been pondering the Kingly Way, but she never found the way.

Currently, she was still stuck in the initial stage, where a single command could command nature.

Although the form of expression was already very powerful, Furina was always dissatisfied.

Clorinde, on the other hand, was the most comfortable; as Furina constantly studied the Son of Heaven's Investiture of the Gods, she, who was bound to Furina, could lie down and become stronger by borrowing the National Destiny.

This made Furina furious, and she once accused Clorinde of who the real King was.

Why did she work hard, while Clorinde, as a guard, could sit back and enjoy the fruits?

Then, based on this reason, Furina originally wanted to consult Jiang Yan and, by the way, connect with their personal relationship.

But when she reached the door, Furina shrank back and left.

The new disciples had the richest harvest, after all, they had just started cultivating immortality.

While Ningguang and the others were slower, following the steps, and even a bit boring.

Cultivation, fighting, doing tasks, accumulating contribution points...

And then drooling over the powerful spiritual artifacts in the Merit Hall to motivate themselves.

Basically, every day was spent like this.

The entry of new disciples only made things a bit livelier for the old disciples, but there was no major change.

After all, everyone was cultivating immortality for themselves.

It was nothing more than having more people when discussing the Dao.

Tartaglia, as expected, challenged all the new and old disciples.

And then...

He was basically invincible among the new Inner Sect disciples.

But against the old disciples.

Except for Barbara and Paimon, who were at the early stage of Essence Refinement and Qi Transformation, the others...

Tartaglia couldn't beat any of them.

Even Paimon, relying on her Star Body, made Tartaglia suffer a dumb loss.

Then Paimon bragged about how she almost fought across levels for five days.

Tartaglia finally knew what it meant to have people beyond people.

Re-challenging Keqing, this time, Keqing drew her Frost Sword.

After one move, Tartaglia was defeated and took medicine to recover.

Learning from the pain, Tartaglia decided to challenge Ningguang.

After the battle started, the Sky Heart Bell rang, and Tartaglia was hit by dozens of Five-Thunder Talismans and became unconscious on the spot.

Tartaglia said this was not a crime of war, but that his equipment was not as good as others.

Hearing this, Ningguang disdainfully indicated that magic treasures were also part of strength.

So, the Purple Gold Gourd was used, with a shout of "Tartaglia, if I call your name, do you dare to answer?"

Then Tartaglia was stuffed into the gourd, and Ningguang shook him for an hour.

After coming out, Tartaglia vomited for an afternoon.

Tartaglia decided not to challenge those who were either invincible with the Imperial Sword Art or had countless magic treasures.

He turned to find another powerhouse at the same level, Bai Zhu.

Bai Zhu didn't use magic treasures, just swallowed a few pills and hung him up to beat him for half a day.

Tartaglia summarized after the battle: besides those invincible with the Imperial Sword Art and those with many magic treasures, those who could take medicine at any time shouldn't be provoked either.

After comprehensive consideration, Tartaglia chose Diluc, who had just entered the middle stage of Essence Refinement and Qi Transformation.

He thought he could fight for a longer time this time.

Who knew that Diluc, who looked like a noble son, would change into a different person once the fight started.

With the Vajra Dharma Body activated and sitting on a lotus platform, Tartaglia was almost physically converted by Diluc.

Now, Tartaglia understood.

It wasn't that others were cheating, it was that he wasn't familiar with the combat style of cultivators at all.

This couldn't be changed overnight; it required time and battle.

Tartaglia stopped challenging and settled down to continue studying the path of cultivating immortality.

Of course, it was also possible that he was beaten into a daze.

The powerful opponents he couldn't find before, here in the Shushan Inner Sect.

He could be hung up and beaten by anyone he met.

This was a good thing, but Tartaglia couldn't help but put on a mask of pain.

Having someone to fight is happiness, but not being able to win is truly suffering!

The Inverted Blood Demon Blade couldn't be used, and he had no magic treasures; to put it bluntly, he was a cultivation novice.

It was better not to jump around looking for fights.

Besides that, quite a few interesting things happened in Shushan these past few days.

For example, Tighnari, a disciple of Bamboo Peak, didn't study alchemy but instead studied raising fierce beasts with Baisheng of Luoxia Peak.

Venti messed around in Shushan again and had quite a few contribution points deducted.

Liuyun and Pingzi, under Alice's weird ideas, forged more wonderful magic treasures.

Ying's simplified version of the Sword Art of Thunder finally entered the door, but the first thing she did after entering was almost piercing Alhaitham, who was passing by.
