Chapter 196: Demon Subduing Pagoda Spirit??

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When they had arrived earlier, the Shu Mountain people had flying swords in their hands. Jiang Li also had the Cloud-Treading Boots and the Dragon Imprisoning Lock. Everyone had treasures above the Profound-rank on them.

Even their clothes were not ordinary.

However, under such circumstances, the reaction of the Eighth King was completely different from the other demons. It ignored the others and only stared fixedly at Shenshan Qiuhua.

It could not be just because she was good-looking.

Jiang Li could sense something from the wretched turtle’s eyes.

It had most likely discovered something on Qiuhua, and it was relying on this turtle treasure.

As for the exact details, he had to give it a try.

Jiang Li took out the Anti-Spirit Short Sword and forcefully pressed it against his left arm, drawing a hole in his skin. After that, he directly stuffed the turtle shell into it.

This was the standard usage method of the turtle treasure.

Soon, the wound that had just been cut completely healed. The turtle treasure buried inside suddenly moved twice, and soon, it was connected to his flesh and blood.

[Turtle Treasure implanted. Added Status: Treasure Vision]

After that, the scene before Jiang Li’s eyes gradually turned white and bright, and it was quickly covered by a dazzling bright light.

At a glance, it was as if a hundred trucks were flashing distant lights. The entire world was white and almost impossible to see.

This was the Demon Subduing Pagoda. Any tile inside was far more valuable than gold. In terms of the Treasure Vision, they were all treasures.

“I knew it. There must be a reason why this turtle treasure was not taken away by the Shu Mountain people.”

It was already impossible to see normally. However, Jiang Li narrowed his eyes and discovered that there was actually a difference in strength among these rays of light.

He pulled out a black cloth and covered his eyes.

Using a black cloth to cover his eyes and block at least 95% of the light in front of him, he could barely accept the treasure light world in front of him.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Li threw out the Dragon Imprisoning Lock and formed a star-shaped pattern in the air.

Sure enough, in the midst of the whiteness, an even more dazzling star shape appeared in his vision.

Although the power of the Dragon Imprisoning Lock was no longer present, just the material itself was no less valuable than the Yin Burial Coffin.

Even though he was covered in a black cloth, it still pierced his eyes until tears flowed.

It was said that the turtle’s vision was not good. With the glaring degree of this treasure light, it was probably impossible to control this treasure without having some blindness.

Jiang Li used his spiritual qi and hearing to sense the outside world. He returned to the cell area and used his Treasure Vision to scan it.

In the vast expanse of spiritual light, only a few items were more dazzling.

After memorizing the location, Jiang Li hurriedly cut open the flesh and took out the turtle treasure again.

As the turtle treasure was taken out, the scene before Jiang Li’s eyes finally returned to normal.

As for the Treasure Vision, he did not intend to retain it. He did not lengthen the status.

The difference between this turtle treasure and other ordinary turtle treasures was that it could react to different treasures of different value.

Although the blinding treasure light vision was still very troublesome, it should be useful at times.

However, if the benefits were limited, Jiang Li was still a little unwilling to experience that kind of blinding vision.

Rubbing his tortured eyes, Jiang Li took away their blood as usual and obtained a few decent demon beast materials.

Thus, there was no need to stay on the third level.

After opening the passageway to the fourth level, the aura that came from below made even Jiang Li feel serious.

After jumping down to the fourth level, in the cold and quiet environment, there was only one sound of advancing footsteps.

However, Jiang Li suddenly stopped and turned around to carefully observe his surroundings.

When he first entered the Demon Subduing Pagoda, it was nothing. However, after receiving the first Earth Vein Spirit Essence, Jiang Li felt that something was amiss.

With the help of the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra, Jiang Li’s hearing had always exceeded that of ordinary people. However, after that, he always felt strange when he heard footsteps.

There seemed to be footsteps that coincided with theirs.

The sound was extremely soft, and the rhythm was very good. Even with Jiang Li’s hearing, he could only faintly sense it.

In the beginning, he did not pay too much attention to it. However, after obtaining the second Earth Vein Spirit Essence, this sound became much more obvious.

Because of this, he glanced sideways frequently and searched for any target that might be a demon. However, with his limited probing methods, he ended up empty-handed.

Only earlier did Jiang Li finally confirm that there was definitely something following him. Because from before, even though his feet seemed to be on the ground,

However, he had actually been walking in the air the entire time. It was just that he was extremely close to the ground and was not easily seen by others.

Therefore, he did not make any footsteps. The footsteps that were completely in sync with him belonged to someone else!

“May I know which senior is playing a joke on me? Please show yourself.”

Jiang Li cupped his fists while his eyes observed his surroundings vigilantly.

“Junior does not have any malice. Senior, please don’t toy with me.”

Jiang Li’s words were very firm. He did not doubt his own judgment at all. If that person still did not come out, he would leave and return to the surface to inform the Shu Mountain Elder.

After waiting for five minutes, right when Jiang Li turned around and walked back, a voice finally sounded.

“Hahahaha, what a clever junior. You still discovered me. In these hundred years, you’re the first disciple to discover me.”

“However, you shouldn’t be a Shu Mountain disciple, right? Why have you entered my Demon Subduing Pagoda?”

An old man with white hair and an immortal-like disposition appeared out of thin air on the ground in front of Jiang Li, asking with a benevolent expression.

However, this elder’s figure was transparent like a shadow. It was either not a living person or this was not his main body.

“Greetings, senior.”

“I am a disciple of the Scripture Storage Valley. I was invited by Peak Master Wei of the Shu Mountain to enter the Demon Subduing Pagoda for training. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me.”

“May I know Senior’s name?”

Jiang Li spoke cautiously. To be able to pass through the Shu Mountain’s tight defense and enter the Demon Subduing Pagoda, it could only be someone from Shu Mountain.

“Hahaha, didn’t you say my name already?”

The elder laughed loudly. After hearing that Jiang Li was not a Shu Mountain disciple, he seemed to be even happier.

“Already said it? Senior, what do you mean?”

Jiang Li had a guess but still asked.

“My name is Demon Subduing. According to you humans, I am the pagoda spirit of this Demon Subduing Pagoda.”

“Don’t look at me like that. That fellow, Shenshan Jianyi, has to call me Martial-Granduncle!”

“However, you are not from Shu Mountain. You can just call me senior.”

The old man who called himself the Demon Subduing Pagoda Spirit stroked his beard with an expression as if Jiang Li was given a great favor.

“So it’s Senior Demon Subduing. I’ve been rude.”

Jiang Li bowed again. So it was the Demon Subduing Pagoda Spirit? Although he had never seen the spirit of this artifact, he felt that with the level of the Demon Subduing Pagoda, it should be able to satisfy the requirements of producing a spirit.

When the white-haired phantom saw Jiang Li act in this way, it smiled and waved its hand.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. Over the years, there have been very few disciples who have reached the fourth level. You, a junior, still know etiquette. Not bad, not bad.”

“Is the Scripture Storage Valley a new sect? A lot has happened since I woke up. Forget it, since you can come here, you’re fated to meet me.”

“How about this? Tell me about what happened outside these years. In return, I’ll give you a fortuitous encounter. How about it?”

The Demon Subduing Pagoda Spirit appeared very friendly and generous. From its words, it was not wary of Jiang Li at all. After knowing that Jiang Li was not a Shu Mountain disciple, not only was it not unfamiliar with him, it even expressed that it wanted to give Jiang Li a chance.

How could Jiang Li refuse such a good thing?

“Senior Demon Subduing is generous. It would be impolite for me to refuse.”

“Hehe, Senior, is there anything good on the fourth level?”

Jiang Li had no habit of rejecting things that were delivered to his door. He directly asked if there were any benefits that could be fulfilled immediately.

The Demon Subduing Pagoda Spirit was obviously stunned as well. Who would have imagined that Jiang Li would not even stand on ceremony?

However…

“Heh, you’re quite special, kid. You’re not so roundabout and straightforward. You suit my taste.”

“Then this can be considered a greeting gift from me to you. I’ll tell you secretly that the No. 22 Demon Prisoner in the third region has something good on him.”

“I didn’t even tell those juniors from Shu Mountain. However, whether you can obtain it will depend on your own ability.”

Jiang Li walked into the cell area with the old pagoda spirit, but the demons here were unable to see the spirit at all, and they could only see Jiang Li alone.

The demons on the fourth level naturally became even stronger. There were also many demons that could start walking upright. Their fingers became even longer and nimbler, and there were more human characteristics everywhere on their bodies.

This kind of quasi-transformation of half-demons and half-demons was not achieved overnight after sleeping, but usually required a long process. They would shed their scales and bear horns, transform their wet bodies, and finally be reborn.

The demons in this process were roughly equivalent to the True Core to the Golden Core realm among human cultivators. Of course, according to their racial talent, the difference in combat strength would be like the difference between heaven and earth.

Their auras and pressure were completely different from the demons who had just formed their cores. Especially with the combination of several greater demons, the might was as terrifying as a storm.

Sword Heart, Dragon Blood, Golden Core Dao Heart!

When these three factors were combined, the might that tore through layer by layer and swept over caused Jiang Li to be only slightly stunned before he recovered from his shock.

However, if this pressure environment continued to increase at this terrifying speed, then if he went down another two levels, it would probably be Jiang Li’s limit.

No. 22 Demon Prisoner in the third region was a huge crimson snake.

At this moment, it had already grown a human head and hands. It was a little similar to the legendary Naga.

The Naga’s upper body was completely humanoid. The skin was smooth and the face was beautiful. It was like a snake from the waist down, but its figure was beautiful and curvy.

However, this snake demon was clearly far from that level.

From her armpit, she had a snake body. Even less than half of her body was not covered in smooth human skin. Instead, it was still covered in red snake skin scales. The hair on her head was sparse, and her mouth was still in the terrible shape of a snake’s mouth.

Forgive Jiang Li for speaking bluntly, but this fellow did not have any beauty that conformed to the concept of humans.

“Who asked you to be so ugly? Don’t blame me.”

Jiang Li cast spell techniques as the Blood Withered Vine slowly entered the snake demon’s cell.

The defense of the demons on this level had greatly increased.

Separated by the fence, Jiang Li could not use his full strength. Gradually, even if they were nailed to the ground and could not resist, it was no longer easy to break through their skin and draw blood.

Jiang Li spent quite a bit of effort but barely opened a hole in her stomach. Then, he took out something that was like a stone for a long time.

Everyone knew that the snake demon’s gallbladder was a good thing. Shu Mountain naturally would not leave it for him. However, to be able to obtain this thing was a pleasant surprise.

It was a dragon bone that had basically turned into a fossil.

Elder He had a collection of such items, but they were better than this.

The tiny bit of dragon qi remaining on it was indeed very important to snakes and fish that wanted to transform into dragons. However, it was still unknown how useful it could be.

After putting away the dragon bone, it meant that the Demon Subduing Pagoda spirit was not lying to him.

In front of the white-clothed elder, Jiang Li hesitated for a moment before continuing to extract the blood of these demons.

The other party did not stop him. Instead, it looked happy to see this and acted very generously.

Since even the Demon Subduing Pagoda Spirit approved of it, Jiang Li was even more at ease and bold in drawing blood. Only after he drained the demon beast blood on this level did Jiang Li continue down.

[Absorbing the Earth Vein Spirit Essence of the Five Elements Peak. Added Status: Earth Vein Spirit Essence (Left Hand)]

[Absorbing the Earth Vein Spirit Essence of the Five Elements Peak. Added Status: Earth Vein Spirit Essence (Right Hand)]

On the pagoda monuments of the fourth and fifth levels, Jiang Li obtained two statuses, namely the left and right hands.

The effect was similar to that of the two feet.

However, the five Earth Vein Spirit Essences had already tightly adhered together in Jiang Li’s body. Although there were no signs of fusion, there should still be some key elements left.

However, as the earth vein spiritual aura increased, the image of the pagoda spirit old man started to become clearer and clearer in Jiang Li’s eyes for some reason.

It was obvious that the other party had a very close relationship with this kind of energy. Jiang Li could hear his voice initially because he had absorbed the Earth Vein Spirit Essence.

When the pagoda spirit old man saw that Jiang Li was such a genius and was able to arrive at the fifth level by himself, he was extremely surprised, and then he became even more enthusiastic. He didn’t even need Jiang Li to speak before taking the initiative to guide him and search for the things that were left behind on the demon beasts.

With his help, Jiang Li obtained some good things from the demons.

However, when Jiang Li wanted to continue, the token in his hand lost its effect.
