Anatta Mental State. That was the requirement to pass the second test inside the Black Infernal Tower, Shen Tian looked at his friends with an expression which was calm,"Do not worry if you cannot pass this test. It's not about your talent but more about your resolve above anything else." The other nodded.
Xiao Ning'er had a weak smile on her face," I will try my best!" She said, gaining a similar looking smile from almost everyone, besides Feng Hao and the Chaos Emperor. The former looked at Shen Tian, slowly walking towards him, and bumped his fist into his chest. " We will try our best, but you shouldn't also slack of, show your talent, Shen Tian!"
They looked at the depth of the wilderness, noticing a Black Tower, scorched in all sides by the flames, giving the surroundings a rather fiery red color. Shen Tian and the rest did not rush to enter the tower, instead they calmly walked towards it, the others did not have time to question their decision, they had to enter the tower quickly.
Shen Tian glared at the Chaos Emperor who sweatdropped,"Why are you glaring at me like that?" He asked. The Chaos Emperor continued to look at him, asking for an answer, however Shen Tian merely walked towards him, not answering him, instead he shook his head. " Do not disappoint me today, I am going to rely on you today."
The Chaos Emperor narrowed his glare,"Do not underestimate me brat, I might've lost to you, and I know that was a foolish mistake on my part, but I am not as weak as you think I am, I can probably defeat that rubbish Nether Master on my own… And do not worry, I won't mess up your plan."
Shen Tian curled his lips, making an amused smile as he chuckled,"We will see about that,now since we both already confirmed that we are going to do our best here, let's proceed, this mental state they want us to reach is quite interesting, maybe it will benefit us in our cultivation, spiritually and physically."
While the Chaos Emperor felt that the fact he was serving Shen Tian so easily was not right, he did truly respect his strength. It was extraordinary, he could actually defeat him and Xian Long when fighting. Despite being so angry at that one fact, he knew that Shen Tian had actually not gone all out there.
Upon nearing the Black Infernal Tower, they felt a wind hit them, directly entering their soul realm, however neither of them were affected. The cultivation manuals Shen Tian gave them also increased the defense of one' soul realm and soul, the Chaos Emperor's soul was too strong to be affected by it too.
The black flames, did not affect them in the slightest either, in fact Feng Hao who was tightly connected to the fire attribute, did not even feel the flames being so close to his body.It could be obviously seen that he was triple attributed, Darkness,Holy and Fire, although the fire attribute was far weaker than those of the two former ones.
That was why Shen Tian gave him a techniques with the attribute of the two. Xiao Ning'er had a bit more trouble, but Shen Tian coated her with his Law Energy, making her feel more comfortable, she sent a relieved look towards Shen Tian, telling him she appreciated the help, it made it easier for her to move.
It did not take long for them to walk inside the Black Infernal Tower, the flames started to get hotter and hotter, stealing a glance at Nie Li's group, he noticed that they were also struggling to continue, but his group were all comfortably advancing, besides Jing Ye, who unlike Jian Yu had nothing to protect his soul to a great level.
However, Jing Ye actually was letting the flames attack him with his own wish, he wanted to temper his body, since his body was the weakest among the ones in Shen Tian's group, he only had the strength of a second star Demigod Rank cultivator, a star lower than Jian Yu's cultivation rank currently.
As the second greatest prodigy of the Underground City, if not the Underground Region, he was deeply ashamed to be left behind by Jian Yu, even if the latter was relying on a mysterious energy to achieve his breakthroughs. However this also ignited his wish to get stronger,"Come! Daddy wants more of you flames!"
It seems another person in the hundreds of this place had about the same idea, that person was Duan Jian, however he was using the flames to strengthen his soul realm instead, while Jing Ye was using it to temper his body there was a difference between the two, as Jing Ye's soul was strong, unlike his body.
Although the rest had to be careful as they walked into the second floor of the Black Infernal Tower, Shen Tian's group were still comfortable, in fact besides Jing Ye, who was using the flames to temper his body, the rest did not feel the flames yet again, Nie Li's group however were feeling it more and more.
Everyone was deeply shocked by the fact Shen Tian and the rest looked so comfortable with all of this. In the second floor, everyone was trying to be as careful as possible, since a slight move could mean the end of their journey here, and possibly cripple their future potential in cultivation, something none of them wanted.
Everyone was trying to use this as a chance to increase their cultivation realm, besides Shen Tian himself, who was at the pinnacle of the Demigod Rank, and could easily breakthrough to the Heavenly Fate Realm at any time he chose, but there was a restriction which kept stopping him from doing that, he did not want to test it either so he let it be for now.
Shen Tian's focus was on the Demon Lord, the two were battling in an intense staring contest, until he chuckled, the Demon Lord was far weaker than him, only being at the peak of the Legend Rank, or what people here considered a Demigod, not even capable of lasting a single second against him. The Demon Lord's glare did not treat him as a stronger being, instead it treated Shen Tian as his equal!
