Chapter 779: Sword Intent

uddenly clapped his hands with delight and said, "Good! After the earth sinks, I'll leave it to Junior Brother Qin. I'll change your waist token for you right now."Qin Sang handed over the waist token...Inside the Heavenly Tower, each layer has a teleportation hall.

There's a teleportation array in the Transmission Hall, which allows you to leave this level.

Every layer has a different view.

>“Apart from the Transmission Hall, these crumbling structures could have puppets flying out at any time. Fellow cultivators, why don't you each share your most impressive abilities to prepare for a puppet ambush”

A man surnamed Di looked around at the crowd and said.

The five individuals were all at the middle stage of the Core Formation realm, with varying strengths. Among them, the man surnamed Di and the old woman had the highest cultivation, only a step away from the late stage of Core Formation.

Generally, the elderly woman wouldn't initiate conversation, and people spontaneously gathered around the man surnamed Di.

“I have a gossip mirror that has decent defensive capabilities. I can handle myself adequately and barely withstand attacks from late-stage masters,” the old woman said without reservation.

Everyone looked over in astonishment as the old woman took out a bronze mirror, larger than the others. They exclaimed in admiration: "Daoist Su is too humble! To be able to withstand attacks from late-stage masters, it couldn't just be passable, could it"

Qin Sang said, “With Daoist Su’s gossip mirror, I think we don't need to worry about our own safety. Although Qin is of low cultivation, he is still somewhat accomplished in swordsmanship. He has comprehended the Sword Qi Thunder and the Sword Light Splitting Technique, but unfortunately, he can only split out one sword light.”

The man surnamed Di clapped his hands in delight and said, “I didn’t expect that Daoist Qin is still a swordsmanship master! To comprehend the Sword Qi Thunder Sound, it is certain that your swordsmanship is extraordinary, most adept at seizing opportunities. You can be responsible for delivering the final blow to the puppets! These puppets are very difficult to deal with, they can even recover on their own, and their weaknesses are very hidden. The opportunities are fleeting, but it shouldn’t be a problem for Daoist Qin.”

Qin Sang nodded and said, "Since Daoist Di says so, Qin has no choice but to accept this task. However, Qin knows little about puppetry and has rarely come into contact with it before. I'm worried that if I encounter a puppet I don't understand, I might miss an opportunity..."

A female cultivator with a fiery temperament suddenly interjected, "Daoist Qin, don't worry. After I learned about the situation with the Heavenly Tower, I sought out puppetry techniques and studied them for several years. When the time comes, I can remind you. Additionally, I possess a secret technique that allows me to sense the fluctuations of puppets. Even the most skilled at concealment, when close by, their traces will be revealed. However, I need the protection of all fellow Daoists so that I can concentrate on maintaining this technique."

As soon as these words were uttered, the crowd was even more astonished.

Below the Heavenly Pagoda, apart from ancient restrictions, the greatest obstacle are all sorts of mechanical puppet beasts.

I don't know how these puppets are made. For so many years, they have been endlessly killed, and cultivators have repeatedly entered the Heavenly Tower, but I haven't seen them decrease.

The skills of female cultivators were perfectly suited to restraining puppet beasts, providing them with a huge advantage.

Then, the other two also spoke about their abilities.

Five people immediately changed their formation, with the remaining four protecting the female cultivator surnamed Yin at the center.

The puppets in the first three layers of the Heavenly Tower are not strong, equivalent to the level of a Qi Refining cultivator. They do this in advance to practice and prepare for higher levels.

The formation had just been completed when a reckless puppet crashed into it.

At this moment, they passed a broken wall. On the broken wall, the azure light only flickered slightly, then three dark shadows pounced out at them.

'Bang! Bang! Bang!'

A man surnamed Di casually struck out with a palm, sending the three puppets flying. Their chests caved in deeply.

These three puppets resembled tigers, but instead of fur, their exteriors were made of stone blocks like pieces of greenstone.

After being struck by the man surnamed Di, two of the puppet bodies creaked and then shattered with a loud 'boom'.

Fragments of the puppet flew everywhere, eventually disintegrating under everyone's noses, turning into dust and vanishing into the darkness without a trace, which was very eerie.

Another puppet still had fighting power. Its long tail whipped, transforming into a streak of black light and charging towards the man surnamed Di's face.

Claws emerged from the darkness, gleaming with a cold light, dangerously close to his brow.

Others had no intention of intervening.

The man with the surname Di remained calm and collected. With a slight twist of his palm, he effortlessly blocked the tiger claw with one hand, a thoughtful expression on his face. His other hand swung again at the puppet, shattering it.

“It’s roughly equivalent to the early stage of foundation building,” the man surnamed Di turned his head and addressed the crowd, recounting his previous findings. “It is said that the puppets’ strength increases with each level, following a very regular pattern, almost corresponding to the cultivation realm of cultivators. What do you all think Does it resemble a trial ground prepared by ancient cultivators for their descendants”

"Not necessarily."

The old woman shook her head. "It's not that there are special layers in the Sky Tower The scenery there is completely different from other layers, and it is also a place where all kinds of strange things exist. There are too many secrets hidden in the Sky Tower. What exactly was it used for in the beginning, only the ancient cultivators who live here know."

As people talked, they moved into the darkness.

On the road, I was ambushed by puppet beasts several times. Their strength was almost the same as before, so I dealt with them easily.

Unbeknownst to them how far they had flown, they finally came to a stop, gazing at the vast expanse before them.

"As you all know, the Transmission Hall looks like this, right The Transmission Hall is wandering around in this area. Let's split up and look for it."

A man surnamed Di said a word and then flew away in one direction.

The others scattered, searching in the darkness.

Qin Sang flew alone to the right.

He saw a dilapidated temple ahead and walked towards it.

He is actually very interested in the art of puppetry.

From the foundation building stage to the core formation stage, he could always suppress cultivators of the same realm. His reliance on corpses and spirit beasts was inseparable, allowing him to overcome powerful enemies and escape danger many times.

The Sky Tower's puppets seem to be able to resurrect themselves. If one can decipher the mystery within, they could refine powerful puppet mechanical beasts, which would greatly enhance their strength.

As Qin Sang approached the dilapidated main hall, a group of tiger-shaped puppets swooped in. Some spat beams of esoteric light, while others slashed with their claws.

The ebony sword gently whirled, easily slaughtering most of the puppet beasts.

Qin Sang left two behind, grabbing them and researching them while searching for the transmission hall.

Ultimately, he found to his disappointment that the existence of these puppet beasts was most likely related to the ancient prohibitions within the Sky Tower. This ability to revive from death was irreplicable, and even their materials, after death, could not be preserved. Even if they were placed in the Qianjun Ring, they would mysteriously disappear.

Five people searching for the teleportation hall together, efficiency increased significantly.

Qin Sang searched to no avail, but soon received a signal and immediately turned around to go back.

>

After a short while, five people appeared before a large hall.

The main hall hung suspended in the darkness, not fixed in one place, but drifting slowly.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

This hall is the best-preserved one on the first floor, not a single tile on the roof has been damaged. The ancient teleportation formation is located within the hall.

The main hall was ancient and majestic, with a unique shape. Its apex soared high, resembling a sharp sword, radiating powerful sword intent.

The moment Qin Sang saw the main hall, his heart tensed!

This feeling is indescribable by others, only those who have practiced the "Yuanshen Yangjianzhang" can know how special this sword intent is!

Address:ed through winding paths until they reached a secluded area and stepped onto an ancient teleportation array.The other end of the ancient teleportation array was this nameless island, having traversed...
