On the island in the middle of the lake, the white tower emits a faint fluorescent light, exuding a gloomy and evil aura.
When everyone concentrated their attention, they could still hear the cries of the dead souls, and their scalps felt tingling.
When Pang Jian looked at the White Pagoda again, he felt that it had become harmless to humans and animals, and he did not feel uncomfortable at all.
This evil white tower, which comes from the mysterious Yinling Temple and has the power to search for souls and ghosts, will not search his soul if you deliberately ignore him.
"Glad to see you come to my rescue."
Luo Hongyan pursed her lips gently, with a hint of obvious joy and pride in her crystal eyes.
Pang Jian frowned and said in a cold voice: "If you had treated me like you do now when we first entered the Ceji Mountains, I would not have stood by and watched you die at the bottom of the Black Water Pond."
Luo Hongyan was stunned.
Immediately.
She then said triumphantly to the faint soul huddled in the darkness in that empty place: "See? He didn't rescue you when you fell into the bottom of the pond, but he saved me this time."
The real Ning Yao looked at the beautiful figure that appeared before her and said with a sad look on her face, "If I had known that he was so extraordinary, I would have treated him well."
"You can't do that."
Luo Hongyan had a mocking look on her face, and shook her head with a half-smile, saying, "Both of us are from big families, but Zhou Qingchen was able to notice his uniqueness and took the initiative to show his friendship early on. What about you? You obviously knew him before Zhou Qingchen did, but you didn't know how to recognize his talent, and just thought he was an ordinary hunter."
Ning Yao was silent.
Luo Hongyan was telling the truth. It was she and Pang Jian who entered the Cenji Mountains together. Instead, it was Zhou Qingchen who took the initiative to extend the olive branch and was the first to win Pang Jian's trust.
When she realized this, she didn't think about how to pull Pang Jian back to her side, but threatened him with words.
In the end, Pang Jian threw the cloth bag containing the silver coins on the ground, announcing the termination of the contract between the two.
"Little brother..."
He Rong watched for a while, but he couldn't bring himself to talk to Luo Hongyan, so he said to Pang Jian: "Since you are not affected, I will trouble you to go to the top floor of the Tianling Tower and destroy the special array there."
Su Yuntian smiled and nodded in agreement.
When Luo Hongyan was in trouble, out of fear of the "Tianling Tower", they did not dare to rush over to rescue her, which also made it difficult for them to face Luo Hongyan.
Luo Hongyan didn't care. She only cared about Pang Jian's attitude and thoughts. She smiled and said, "Whether you can break the array or not, I believe you will be safe. The Tianling Tower of this Yinling Temple will definitely not be able to hurt you."
"I saw it with my own eyes. As soon as you stepped onto the island in the middle of the lake, it fell from the sky. I even felt... it was afraid of you."
These words reminded everyone of the strange incident when the white tower fell and the island shook violently.
The way they looked at Pang Jian suddenly became full of doubt.
Could it be that those were not coincidences at all
"I'll go and take a look."
Pang Jian said in a deep voice.
He also felt that the Tianling Tower could not harm him. This feeling was very vague and he couldn't explain why, but that was the feeling.
After making up his mind to take a look, he no longer hesitated and strode towards the White Tower with the dragon-patterned spear in hand.
His speed suddenly became very fast, with almost no pause, and he was no longer cautious and observing slowly.
A moment later, he arrived in front of the White Tower and appeared at the entrance to the tower.
At this moment, everyone naturally focused their eyes on him, and seemed even more nervous than he was.
Luo Hongyan was calm and composed, pinching her waist with her tender white hands, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"The body is mine!"
The faint soul imprisoned in her body sensed her movements and said with suppressed anger: "Everywhere he touched is also my body!"
Luo Hongyan didn't care about her anger at all, and danced gracefully in this empty and desolate world.
"This body can be mine if I want."
"I was just thinking that maybe it would be a good idea to take over your body and become you completely. Your cultivation aptitude is indeed a little lacking, but it's not impossible to make up for it. It just takes some effort and means."
After these words were spoken, Ning Yao didn't dare to show any anger at all. She was so scared that she quickly suppressed all her dissatisfaction.
It was at this moment that Pang Jian stepped into the white tower and immediately felt the rich spiritual energy filling the room.
The spiritual energy, which was countless times richer and purer than the spiritual energy of the island in the middle of the lake, filled the lower level of the white tower like curling white mist.
At the bottom of the tower, pieces of clear and bright crystals are arranged in a U-shape, forming a complex and strange spiritual formation.
The U-shaped characters are connected to each other, and inside the crystals that make up them, there is light flowing like water.
Standing on top of those U-shaped crystals, Pang Jian tried to practice the "Hutian Yangqi Jue" and suddenly felt an incomparably rich spiritual power gushing out from those crystals!
The vast spiritual power like a waterfall instantly poured into his dantian and directly sank into his spiritual sea!
That is pure and flawless spiritual power, not the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It does not need to be washed or refined and extracted again.
And it’s extremely exaggerated!
Just like that, Pang Jian felt that in his spiritual sea, there was a pool of spiritual power accumulating.
“Boom boom!”
His heart beat faster and he looked at the magical array under his feet in disbelief, feeling that this was simply the best place for cultivation in the world!
By practicing on these crystals, he can definitely fill his spiritual sea with spiritual power in a short period of time.
His Qi Refining Realm will surely be able to quickly break through the bottleneck and possess the tremendous power to impact the next realm!
Enjoying the magic of this place, Pang Jian took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He found the stairs leading up as quickly as possible, not daring to look at the crystal again, and hurriedly climbed up one level at a time.
The second floor, the third floor, the fourth floor, each floor was empty, and the ground was the same material as the tower, like the bones of some huge creature.
Without any hesitation, he went straight to the top floor of Tianling Tower.
On the fifth floor, a huge hollow white skull suddenly came into his sight.
The top of the skull was empty, the eye sockets and cheekbones were empty, and inside the hollow skull, numerous mosquito-like ghosts were whistling and flying around a living being.
As soon as Pang Jian stood still, he heard countless noisy sounds, including desperate shouts, crazy roars, cries for help, and endless resentment and curses against this world.
On this level, the space seems to be filled with wandering ghosts and countless evil things.
He hurriedly calmed himself down, not trying to figure out the specific meaning of those strange noises, nor did he delve into the source of the noises. He just looked at the center of the hollow skull, which was surrounded by many ghosts and spirits.
It was a dark green turtle, and it was obviously also a spirit, but it was larger than all the ghosts and spirits around it.
It is in the center of the skull, surrounded by a group of ghosts and spirits, as if its spiritual wisdom is slowly being extinguished.
When observing carefully, Pang Jian suddenly realized that the ubiquitous noise came from the ghosts and spirits surrounding it.
There were countless ghosts and spirits smaller than it that surrounded it, confusing its thoughts and will.
It was so confused that it almost didn't know who it was.
"The skull is that special array."
Pang Jian came to his senses.
He moved a little closer and immediately felt the pure "Xuanyin Power" rushing towards him.
He immediately understood that this hollow skull was built with pieces of jade containing the "Xuan Yin power".
These jades were no longer grayish white, but pure white. The "Xuan Yin Power" hidden in the jades was also purer than the one he got from the stone pile.
In those jades, there was only a strong "Xuanyin power", no spiritual power or other aura.
Pang Jian tried to get closer and closer, trying to feel the gloom and coldness released by the skull, and the bronze door pendant on his chest was also quietly getting warmer.
As the heat appeared, the dark green turtle, which was surrounded by countless ghosts and spirits, suddenly became aware of something.
The spirit turtle gathered its spirit with great difficulty, adjusted its angle with great effort, and slowly moved towards Pang Jian.
Finally, it saw the spear-wielding boy who was facing a formidable enemy, and its eyes were filled with confusion.
Suddenly, ecstasy emerged from the depths of its eyes!
However.
When it really saw Pang Jian's appearance and found that he was not the person it expected, it showed deep disappointment.
It has no flesh, blood or bones, it is just a soul, but the complex and changeable look in its eyes when it looks at Pang Jian can reveal what it is thinking.
There was no need to communicate with words, Pang Jian guessed its thoughts just by looking into its eyes.
"I will destroy this skull and rescue you."
Pang Jian made a promise without any reason. His original intention was to destroy the formation, so he grabbed the dragon-patterned spear and stabbed.
"when!"
The piece of jade that was pierced by the spear tip made a clanging sound like metal clashing against metal, but the seemingly insignificant piece of jade did not even produce a single spark.
Pang Jian was startled, and then he grasped the dragon-patterned spear tightly with both hands, feeling the brute force surging from his arm bones and whole body, and stabbed at the same piece of jade again.
"when!"
Just like before, the jade made a sound of metal clashing, but did not move at all.
“Is this one special?”
Pang Jian, who knew how powerful he was, of course did not believe it. He clenched the dragon-patterned spear with the same strength and began to attack other jade stones.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
He tried it over a dozen times, stabbing a different piece of jade each time, but none of the jade used to construct the skull array broke.
There was not even any sign of shifting.
The spirit turtle, surrounded by numerous spirits and ghosts, quietly closed its eyes in disappointment and no longer had any illusions about him.
Pang Jian was not discouraged. He tried again and again. Finally, he put down the dragon-patterned spear and pushed and pulled the jades with both hands, but he still couldn't pry even a single piece of jade.
"I'll go out and think of a solution. I'm going to smash this damn thing to pieces."
After a while, Pang Jian threw down this sentence, not caring whether the spirit turtle could understand it or not.
He didn't even mention the dragon-patterned spear, nor did he go back up the stairs one level at a time, but instead jumped directly down through an open window.
"boom!"
He fell heavily from the five-story white tower onto the ground covered with green weeds and quickly came in front of Luo Hongyan.
Everyone looked at him in surprise and doubt.
