Chapter 541

"Peak Master Zhongli, remember firmly, do not step onto the sixth floor or above of the Demon-Locking Tower. After three years in the Demon-Locking Tower, you must return."

"Sect Master, rest assured, I will not joke with my own life."

Seeing Zhongli nodded solemnly.

"Shushan during this period of time will be left to you all."

Jiang Yan looked back, his gaze swept across everyone's faces, and then stopped on the worried eyes of Ganyu and Miss Yae Miko.

After a moment, Jiang Yan nodded with a smile, turned around, and walked toward the Demon-Locking Tower with Seeing Zhongli.

"Sect Master..."

Ganyu gripped her clothes tightly, and after a while, whispered.

"I will wait for your return..."

323. Shushan Demon-Locking Tower, one world per floor

As if spatial ripples had slightly emerged, the figures of Jiang Yan and Seeing Zhongli disappeared into the Demon-Locking Tower one after another.

Lady Ningguang and the others stood in place, gazing at this forbidden area belonging to Shushan, and after a while, everyone dispersed one by one.

Although they were somewhat curious about the environment inside the Demon-Locking Tower, they truly did not have the ability to explore it now.

It was better to honestly cultivate.

It was just that Jiang Yan's absence during this period would inevitably have some impact.

With no one lecturing, it was estimated that everyone's cultivation speed would decrease somewhat.

"Senior Sister Ganyu..."

Miss Yae Miko sighed, walked to Ganyu's side, and gently took her hand.

"Let's go back. The Sect Master has already gone in, and we should go back to cultivate."

Ganyu did not answer, and Miss Yae Miko continued to persuade:

"With the Sect Master's strength, nothing will happen to him. The Nine Nether Secret Realm Exploration Conference is also about to begin, so we should seize the time to cultivate."

"I also want Senior Sister Ganyu to guide me; I am also about to transcend the tribulation."

At this, Ganyu finally came back to her senses, turned to look at Miss Yae Miko, the light in her eyes flickering.

"Miss Yae Miko, you say... how long has it been in the Demon-Locking Tower since the Sect Master went in?"

"This..."

Miss Yae Miko was asked by Ganyu's words.

One day in the outside world, one year in the Demon-Locking Tower. Since Jiang Yan went in, it had probably only been ten or twenty minutes.

But how many days should ten or twenty minutes be in the Demon-Locking Tower?

"Four or five days?"

Miss Yae Miko said uncertainly, and Ganyu nodded in a daze.

"I once saw in a certain classic that one day in the Immortal World is one year in the mortal world."

"If the Sect Master transcends the tribulation and becomes an immortal in the future..."

This sentence immediately made Miss Yae Miko somewhat worried.

"Let's go, Miss Yae Miko."

Ganyu took one last lingering look at the Demon-Locking Tower and left with Miss Yae Miko toward the immortal cave.

"We must also cultivate diligently. Strive to break through to Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation before the Sect Master returns. At that time, you can also obtain more resources for the Nine Nether Secret Realm exploration."

Miss Yae Miko nodded heavily and followed Ganyu away.

Not long after, only a lonely Demon-Locking Tower remained here.

As for finding someone to guard it...

No need.

The Demon-Locking Tower was not something ordinary people could enter. If there was no special technique taught by Jiang Yan, it was absolutely impossible to enter the Demon-Locking Tower.

This could also be considered a layer of protection for Shushan disciples.

In fact, it was just as Ganyu and Miss Yae Miko thought.

Although in everyone's eyes, he and Seeing Zhongli had only entered the Demon-Locking Tower for ten or twenty minutes.

But in reality, in their perception, several days had already passed.

The power of time, even in the eyes of cultivators, was quite outrageous.

However, during these few days in the Demon-Locking Tower, Jiang Yan and Seeing Zhongli were also acting together for the time being.

The space inside the Demon-Locking Tower did not look like the demonic and dilapidated appearance that Seeing Zhongli imagined.

Overall, the space inside the Demon-Locking Tower even looked somewhat solemn and dignified.

The first floor of the Demon-Locking Tower had a vast and boundless space, but it was not natural scenery; the ground was paved with bricks of unknown material.

But this kind of material, Seeing Zhongli tried his best to try, but couldn't scrape a trace.

Regarding this, Jiang Yan felt it was very normal. Don't mention Seeing Zhongli, even if it were him, or those Spirit Refining and Void Returning peak-stage Demon Emperors on the top floor of the Demon-Locking Tower,

they wouldn't even think about causing a trace of damage in this Demon-Locking Tower.

Do you really think that an immortal artifact forged by a Golden Immortal Elder is that simple?

If they didn't even have this ability, how could the Demon-Locking Tower lock demons?

Don't mention Spirit Refining and Void Returning, Spirit Refining and Void Returning, even ordinary Earthly Immortals shouldn't think about breaking open the Demon-Locking Tower.

"Strange... clearly the demonic beast aura is quite rich, why haven't we found a single demon beast for so long?"

Seeing Zhongli frowned slightly, looking at the empty environment all around.

This solemn and dignified tower space, at this time, instead had a deathly silence that made people feel palpitations.

If it were the Nine Nether Secret Realm, after such a long time, not being chased by demon beasts would be considered him hiding diligently.

But in the Nine Nether Secret Realm?

Don't mention much, Seeing Zhongli and Jiang Yan were almost running around with great fanfare.

But the result was still the same; they didn't find a single demon beast.

But Jiang Yan had an expression of having expected it, chuckled, and said:

"This is very normal. Peak Master Zhongli, do you know how big this Demon-Locking Tower is?"

Seeing Zhongli was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly to indicate he didn't know.

Jiang Yan seemed to be in a good mood after coming to the Demon-Locking Tower, raised a finger, and said with a smile:

"The size of a Medium Thousand World. If Peak Master Zhongli cannot imagine it, you can imagine it according to the size of the Sea of Quanta you observed."

"And this is just the size of the first floor space."

"By the ninth floor, it is comparable to the size of a Great Thousand World."

"The Demon-Locking Tower can almost be said to be one world per floor."

"The first floor of the Demon-Locking Tower has at most demon beasts at the mid-stage of Qi Refining and Essence Transformation."

"These demon beasts, although their lifespan itself far exceeds that of cultivators, are ultimately not immortal." 【54

"Demons that enter the Demon-Locking Tower cannot continue their cultivation, and their lifespans are further eroded by the acceleration of the laws of time."

"Naturally, most of the demon beasts on the first floor have already been melted down into the most primal Qi."

"Come to think of it, this place is actually quite suitable for cultivators at the Refining Essence into Qi stage."

Zhongli nodded in realization.

"So that's how it is. It seems that if we want to gain anything, we have no choice but to explore the upper levels."

"Strictly speaking, after the third level, a large number of demon beasts at the Refining Qi into Spirit stage will be born."

Jiang Yan explained softly, then added:

"Once they reach the Refining Qi into Spirit realm, commonly known as Great Demons and Demon Kings, these demon clans have much longer lifespans."

"They can persist in the Demon-Locking Tower for much longer."

"Furthermore, the demons that can enter the Demon-Locking Tower are all inherently wicked existences, and many possess the ability to devour others to replenish their own life essence."

"Once demon beasts reach the Refining Qi into Spirit level, as long as they have some means, they can live for a very long time."

"These demon beasts at the Refining Qi into Spirit realm are all between the third and sixth levels."

"And the sixth level is primarily dominated by demon beasts at the late and peak stages of Refining Qi into Spirit."

"In fact, according to my memory, there is even a Demon Emperor at the Refining Spirit into Void stage."

"In short, you must be careful if you go to the sixth level to cultivate."

Jiang Yan paused and said meaningfully:
