Stepping onto the third floor of the ancient pagoda, Chen Qingyuan's cultivation was suppressed to the Innate Realm, and his opponent had the same strength.
"Come on!" Chen Qingyuan took the initiative to attack, exerting the limit strength of the Innate Realm.
In this way, Chen Qingyuan started his training within the ancient pagoda.
Song Ningyan was temporarily ahead of Chen Qingyuan and had reached the fifth floor. As for Chen Qingyuan, he didn't want to just run away after being beaten for five hundred rounds. He had to fight back before he was willing to ascend to higher floors of the pagoda.
Outside the ancient pagoda, Zhao Yichuan and Lin Wenchou were waiting, not leaving at all.
They were very clear about the situation inside the pagoda.
"The inheritor of Qingzong is indeed gifted with extraordinary talent and a solid foundation. Judging by this trend, he might reach the thirtieth floor and won't be weaker than you," Lin Wenchou praised.
"It's just the beginning. The road ahead is very difficult. Don't make hasty judgments," Zhao Yichuan was actually surprised by Chen Qingyuan's performance, but on the surface, he still looked indifferent.
"Do you want to make a bet?" Lin Wenchou raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Boring. I don't bet," Zhao Yichuan rejected the proposal without hesitation.
"You're such a dull guy. Can't you have any other interests besides cultivation?"
Fine wine, beautiful women, power, gold and silver, etc., couldn't attract Zhao Yichuan's attention. Sometimes, Lin Wenchou thought that Zhao Yichuan wasn't a normal person and had some psychological problems.
Having remained a virgin for tens of thousands of years, he was almost unique in the Northern Wilderness.
"The affairs of the mortal world are all stumbling blocks on the path of cultivation," Zhao Yichuan's life only revolved around cultivation. All other worldly things were excluded.
"Alas! You have no interests. What's the point of cultivating so hard?" Lin Wenchou asked.
"To become stronger," Zhao Yichuan replied.
"And then?" Lin Wenchou asked again.
"To pursue a higher Tao and see further," Zhao Yichuan said firmly after thinking for a while.
"Okay. I don't have your kind of awareness," Lin Wenchou shook his head, took a sip of fine wine, and looked content.
Meanwhile, in the Fuliu Star Field, at the Heavenly Jade Sect.
Under the sect's ground, there was a huge formation. Countless spirit stones were piled up at the formation's eye to prevent the formation from failing due to the depletion of spiritual energy.
In the center of the formation, a huge devil's cave was sealed.
"The devilish energy has already leaked out of the large formation. It will be uncontrollable in at most two years,"
"We've tried our best, but we still can't solve it,"
"In my opinion, the chaos of the devil's cave can't be stopped. While there's still some time, quickly organize your resources and move the sect to other star fields,"
"What should we do?"
The high - level members of all sects gathered here. They had tried various methods but failed to solve the problem of the devil's cave. At this moment, no one held any hope of solving it. Many people decided to leave the Fuliu Star Field as soon as possible to minimize losses.
As for ordinary cultivators and hundreds of millions of ordinary living beings who had no ability to escape, they could only stay there and wait for death.
The various sacred lands were too busy to take care of themselves, so how could they have the leisure to care about ordinary living beings?
"If any fellow Taoist is willing to enter the devil's cave and try, perhaps the current problem can be solved," an elder of the Heavenly Jade Sect said through gritted teeth.
"This disaster was caused by your Heavenly Jade Sect. If anyone should enter the devil's cave, it should be you. Do you want us to risk our lives?"
As soon as these words came out, they instantly angered the powerful members of all sects, and their gazes towards the people of the Heavenly Jade Sect became particularly sharp.
The elders of the Heavenly Jade Sect were intimidated by the momentum and quickly explained, "Fellow Taoists, please calm down. That's not what we meant."
"Then what did you mean?"
"If the Heavenly Jade Sect had mentioned the devil's cave at the beginning, it would have been easy to deal with it when the devil's cave was not yet large. Now that it has developed to this point and can't be solved, the Heavenly Jade Sect doesn't try to make up for it but instead wants us to go in and die. It's ridiculous!"
"Don't think that giving some benefits to all sects back then can absolve the Heavenly Jade Sect of its sins. Those benefits were just compensation and can't cover up the stupid actions of the Heavenly Jade Sect."
Since the matter had been brought up, the representatives of all sects no longer gave face to the Heavenly Jade Sect and loudly accused them. 511wX.com
Facing the accusations of all sects, the sect leader Qin Yang had no emotional fluctuations and remained expressionless.
When everyone's voices gradually died down, Qin Yang said, "Everyone, please listen to me for a few words."
Seeing Qin Yang finally speak, everyone stopped talking and turned their attention to him.
"Just place this Array - Boundary Spirit Orb at the deepest part of the devil's cave, and the formation can be strengthened to delay time. Then, I can go to the core area of the Northern Wilderness to seek help from top - level powerful beings. There may still be a glimmer of hope,"
"Whoever dares to go, regardless of success or failure, will be rewarded with a precious treasure. I will be extremely grateful,"
As he spoke, a dark - colored spirit orb appeared in Qin Yang's palm. It was a treasure refined by an array master over ten years. Just placing the spirit orb at the deepest part of the devil's cave could suppress the mutated devil's cave, and at least a hundred years of precious time could be gained.
"Why doesn't Sect Master Qin go in himself?" someone asked coldly.
"I know my own strength is insufficient and I'm not up to this task," Qin Yang said without shame, his face unchanged.
In plain words, he was just afraid of death.
Qin Yang threw a ring into the air and used a mysterious technique to project the space inside the ring. Inside were three complete top - grade spiritual veins, as well as various precious Dao herbs and high - grade Dao artifacts.
When everyone saw this, they were greatly shocked and a hint of greed flashed in their eyes.
Not to mention the various miscellaneous treasures, just these three top - grade spiritual veins alone made countless powerful beings gasp.
The ancestral veins of many top - level sects in the Fuliu Star Field were just one top - grade spiritual vein.
However, Qin Yang casually took out three top - grade spiritual veins. One could imagine how generous he was.
"The Heavenly Jade Sect has gained a lot of benefits from the devil's cave over the years!"
"Damn it. The Heavenly Jade Sect has reaped huge benefits, and now that things have gone wrong, they want us to solve the problem. It's really infuriating."
"Last time, the Heavenly Jade Sect said they distributed all their resources to various sects. Now it seems like a joke."
They were communicating through telepathy, cursing the ancestors of the Heavenly Jade Sect. They were angry and jealous, but there was nothing they could do, and they felt very uncomfortable inside.
"Everyone, are you willing to give it a try?"
At this point, Qin Yang no longer cared about his face. Anyway, he would never take this risk. If the devil's cave really erupted, Qin Yang would simply abandon the foundation of the Heavenly Jade Sect and run away as far as possible.
Of course, it could still be salvaged now, and Qin Yang didn't want to give up.
"Sect Master Qin's offer is generous, but once you enter the devil's cave, there's almost no chance of survival. No matter how many benefits there are, we can't enjoy them,"
The powerful members of all sects were not stupid. Their appetites couldn't handle the benefits in front of them.
It wasn't worth risking their lives for these resources. The most important thing was that they saw no hope of winning the bet.
After a long stalemate, Qin Yang became a little anxious. Could it be that no one was willing to go in?
The laws within the devil's cave were very chaotic. If a strong person wasn't sent to escort the Array - Boundary Spirit Orb inside and only used divine abilities from outside the large formation, it would definitely be impossible to place the spirit orb in the proper position.
"I'm not going to do something suicidal,"
Although everyone had greedy thoughts, they still remained rational and would never do such a stupid thing. They didn't want to clean up the mess caused by the Heavenly Jade Sect.
Seeing this situation, Qin Yang felt uncertain and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.
If no one really went in, Qin Yang would have to give up the property of the Heavenly Jade Sect.
Clenching his fists tightly, Qin Yang was very unwilling and didn't want his years of hard work to be in vain.
Just when the atmosphere became very heavy, a voice came from a distance: "I'll go."
