Immortal Venerable of the Beast Race-Chapter 45 - Challenge Hundred Demons Tower_1
45: 45 Challenge Hundred Demons Tower_1
45: 45 Challenge Hundred Demons Tower_1
A seven-story green tower stood tall, its plaque bearing the large characters “Golden Magpie Pavilion”.
On the seventh floor, a tall and thin elder clad in golden robes sat in a chair, his complexion ruddy and a tuft of goat beard on his chin.
Chen Handian and a peach-blossom-like young girl in a yellow skirt were reporting to the golden-robed elder, their expressions respectful.
“Handian, Hanyue, you must enter the Spirt Control Sect, otherwise our Chen Family may be extinguished by the Xu Family.”
The golden-robed elder urged with a weighty voice.
Over the years, the Chen Family had been on a decline, with only two Foundation Establishment Cultivators remaining in the clan, and among the younger generation, only Chen Handian and Chen Hanyue were relatively outstanding; there was a gap in succession.
The Xu Family was a neighboring clan of the Chen Family and a cultivating family affiliated with Badao Villa.
The two families were competitors and frequently engaged in private conflicts.
If the descendants of the Chen Family were admitted to the Spirt Control Sect, the Xu Family would still have some hesitation, otherwise, it was very likely that they would extinguish the Chen Family.
The ancestors of the Chen Family hailed from the Spirt Control Sect, and every time they held an Ascension Conference, the Chen Family would send people to participate.
Very few of their clan members were admitted to the Spirt Control Sect, and those who failed to reach Foundation Establishment had little status.
“Yes, Seventh Uncle.”
Chen Handian and Chen Hanyue agreed.
A day passed quickly.
Early the next morning, as dawn broke,
Shen Long stepped out of the Immortal Gathering Residence, now using his true appearance.
If he participated in the Spirt Control Sect’s assessment with a disguised face and passed, it would be awkward for Shen Long to explain why he changed his appearance when questioned by the disciples of the Spirt Control Sect.
Even if he couldn’t pass the assessment, he still had the Spirt Control Token.
If he could save the Spirt Control Token, that would be best, as he had great use for it.
Shen Long arrived at the Martial Training Ground, where the assessment had already begun, with some Cultivators dueling on a blue stone platform.
Disciples from the Xuanyang Sect were commanding Puppet Beasts to confront the Qi Refinement Cultivators being assessed, while from Badao Villa, Qixia Sect, and Zixiao Sect, the participating Qi Refinement Cultivators dueled in pairs.
The Spirt Control Sect’s method of assessment was the most unique.
Qi Refinement Cultivators would challenge the Hundred Demons Tower, which was a replica of the Sect’s treasured Thousand Demon Tower, capable of conjuring over a hundred types of Monster Beasts to attack the challengers.
As long as they cleared nine layers, they would pass the assessment.
The Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the five major powers were responsible for the assessment, and Core Formation Cultivators were not present; such a minor event did not require their appearance.
“Taoist Friend Shen, what a coincidence!”
A familiar female voice rang out.
Shen Long followed the voice and saw Ye Yuqing and Ye Yutang walking toward him.
They hadn’t expected Shen Long to reveal his true face, but since they had met him, they greeted him.
“What a coincidence!
Fairy Ye!”
Shen Long said with a smile.
After some casual conversation, Ye Yuqing and Ye Yutang went to attempt the challenge.
Shen Long’s gaze was fixed on a huge tower that shimmered with green light, the tower body was engraved with Monster Beasts Patterns, and the Spiritual Energy was astonishing, clearly a Dharma Treasure.
He didn’t rush to take the challenge but instead watched others attempt it.
The fifth layer of the Hundred Demons Tower lit up with a green light, and Wang Long flew out from the eighth layer, his face pale and signs of fire burns on his body, rapidly falling towards the ground.
A tuft of white clouds rose swiftly, cushioning Wang Long’s descent, and lowering him gently to the ground.
He halted at the eighth layer and didn’t succeed in the challenge.
Wang Shuo sighed, now hoping that Wang Hu could succeed.
Wang Long’s face was full of disappointment as he walked over to Wang Shuo’s side.
Shen Long approached and politely inquired, “Taoist Friend Wang, could you tell me about the situation inside the Hundred Demons Tower?”
“You are?”
Wang Shuo was slightly startled.
“Li Xiao, I had to change my appearance previously to avoid enemies, I’m truly sorry.
My real name is Shen Long.”
Shen Long explained, mentioning some content from a private chat with Wang Shuo to confirm his identity.
Wang Shuo nodded and said to Wang Long, “Tell Taoist Friend Shen about the situation with the Hundred Demons Tower!”
Wang Long had already been eliminated, but perhaps Shen Long could be selected, fostering a good relationship.
Wang Long transmitted his voice to Shen Long, telling about his experience through the levels; the higher the level, the more powerful the monster beasts that appeared.
On the seventh level, a first-stage late-phase monster beast emerged, on the eighth level, two such monster beasts, and on the ninth level, three of them, making it quite difficult for a Qi Refining Cultivator to break through the ninth level.
The challengers could use magic artifacts, talismans, formations, spirit beasts and spirit insects, and other external items; Wang Long had stopped at the eighth level.
“Taoist Friend Shen, I have asked other challengers.
Each challenger faces different monster beasts to prevent cheating, but the realm of the monster beasts is fixed,”
Wang Long said via voice transmission.
He encountered a first-stage late-phase Red Fire Crow on the seventh level, while other challengers encountered a first-stage late-phase Ice Armor Python on the same level.
Shen Long expressed his thanks with a nod.
“Someone has successfully passed the ninth level.”
A shout came from someone unknown, and the crowd looked towards the Hundred Demons Tower.
The tenth level lit up, clearly indicating someone had passed the ninth level.
Before long, the ninth level lit up.
Wang Shuo’s gaze was fixed on the ninth level.
Judging by the time, this person should be Wang Hu.
Both Wang Long and Wang Hu had taken part in the Xuanyang Sect’s assessment and failed, now here to attempt the Spirit Control Sect’s assessment.
After a while, a beam of green light shone from the Ninth Layer of the Hundred Demons Tower, and Wang Hu flew out, his face pale and blood flowing from his left shoulder.
Wang Shuo sighed, Wang Hu had failed too and would have to attempt the assessments from the other three powers, hoping to pass one of them.
A white cloud gently lowered Wang Hu to the ground, his face full of dejection.
Wang Shuo greeted Shen Long and left with Wang Long and Wang Hu.
Shen Long observed for a good half an hour, asking many challengers about their experience before heading towards the Hundred Demons Tower. freēwēbnovel.com
He took out a green wooden token and handed it to the Spirit Control Sect disciple guarding the entrance to the Hundred Demons Tower before walking in.
The hall was spacious and well-lit, with many monster beast patterns carved into the walls.
Shen Long glanced around and was slightly taken aback; it looked somewhat similar to the Spirit Control Tower.
A loud howl resounded as a Galewind Wolf pattern lit up with a dazzling green light, and a Galewind Wolf emerged from the wall, merely a first-stage initial-phase beast.
As soon as the Galewind Wolf appeared, it opened its mouth and shot out a green Wind Blade, hurtling straight toward Shen Long.
With a thought from Shen Long, the Xuan Water Shield appeared close to his body.
The green Wind Blade struck the Xuan Water Shield in succession, leaving the shield unshaken.
He flicked his sleeve, and a water-tank-sized red fireball flew out, smashing towards the Galewind Wolf.
The Galewind Wolf tried to dodge, but a thick green vine shot up from the ground, tangling its hind legs.
The red fireball hit it squarely, and rolling flames engulfed the Galewind Wolf.
Before the flames had even faded, a second red fireball smashed down.
With his left hand, Shen Long released red fireballs, while white Ice Cones were released from his right.
It didn’t take long for Shen Long to kill the Galewind Wolf.
A cluster of green light surged beneath him, swallowing his figure.
When the green light dispersed, Shen Long appeared in a spacious and bright hall, with walls depicting various monster beast patterns.
A Yellow Giant Rat pattern lit up with a burst of yellow light, and a Yellow Giant Rat burrowed out from the wall, also a first-stage initial-phase beast.
No sooner had it appeared than thick green vines shot up from the ground and tangled around its body.
The Yellow Giant Rat struggled violently but the green vines remained intact.
Before it could free itself, a water-tank-sized red fireball came crashing down.
With a thunderous blast, rolling flames engulfed the Yellow Giant Rat.
Shen Long continued to release red fireballs, targeting the Yellow Giant Rat.
