At this moment, Han Yun could comfort himself in this way, but the unease in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
……
While the matter was causing a huge uproar outside the Talisman Master Tower, Lin Yi, the person involved, was observing the environment of the eighth floor of the tower.
The eighth floor of the Talisman Master Tower is slightly smaller than the seven floors below, but the mental pressure it exerts is terrifyingly strong.
However, Lin Yi didn't feel much of that mental pressure.
Lin Yi focused his mind into his Niwan Palace and saw that the three natal spirit talismans had automatically transformed into three spirit talisman funnels, with three black hole vortexes spinning endlessly at the center of each funnel.
As the black hole of the talisman rotated, this natal talisman was actually devouring the spiritual pressure that was like a viscous liquid here!
"First, find that Qi-level spiritual technique, then cultivate on this eighth floor for a while..."
Lin Yi glanced around and quickly made a decision.
The eighth floor wasn't very large, and there weren't many things inside, so after scanning around, Lin Yi's gaze stopped a short distance ahead, where there was a towering stone tablet.
Lin Yi walked slowly toward the stone tablet. Thanks to his natal talisman, even on the eighth floor, Lin Yi walked with great ease.
A moment later, Lin Yi appeared in front of the stone tablet.
The stone tablet was about ten feet tall and didn't have much unusual about it, but Lin Yi still sensed a subtle spiritual fluctuation on its surface.
Lin Yi stared at the stone tablet for a while, then closed his eyes slightly, stretched out his finger, and gently tapped the stone tablet.
"Buzz!"
Just as Lin Yi touched the stone tablet, the spiritual fluctuations emanating from it spread out and transformed into a vast expanse of mysterious patterns in front of him.
Within that trajectory, one could also see some drifting spiritual characters, vaguely resembling an array.
"Transformation Rune Array..."
Lin Yi's gaze was fixed on the floating spiritual characters, and he quickly memorized them all.
Immediately, Lin Yi reached out and summoned the profound trajectories formed from his spiritual energy, which flew down and entered his mind.
As these trajectories entered Lin Yi's mind, a rune array nearly ten feet in size appeared in his mind.
The rune array diagram was extremely obscure and profound. Lin Yi only glanced at it and felt a headache coming on. However, he could also sense that if the rune array were successfully constructed, the power it would unleash would far exceed that of the Spiral Wave and the Divine Transformation Needle.
Lin Yi closed his eyes and studied the newly acquired Transformation Talisman Array. After about half an hour, he slowly opened his eyes.
With a thought, streams of spiritual energy surged from his Niwan Palace and began to trace strange patterns in front of him. Judging from the patterns, they seemed to be the formation of the Transformation Talisman Array, but unfortunately, they did not succeed.
However, Lin Yi was not discouraged. After sketching it five or six times, he had initially sketched out the profound formation.
"Next, I should focus all my efforts on cultivating my spiritual power. I hope to make further progress within this Rune Master Tower..."
Lin Yi murmured to himself, then casually found a place on the eighth floor of the Talisman Master Tower, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in cultivation.
……
The most intense competition to climb the tower came to an end, and the entire Rune Master Tower seemed to quiet down considerably.
Everyone began to seize the time and cultivate with all their might inside the Talisman Master Tower.
Once the Talisman Master Tower is activated, the spiritual pressure within will increase day by day until everyone inside is finally squeezed out, at which point this tower battle will come to a complete end.
This silence, however, was quite agonizing for Master Yan and the others who were waiting outside the Talisman Master Tower.
Even now, they are still not quite sure whether it was Zhou Tong or Lin Yi who successfully stepped into the eighth level.
As they endured this agonizing wait, time passed day by day. Each day, many young talisman masters emerged from the talisman master tower with expressions of lingering disappointment and reluctance.
After these talisman masters left the talisman master tower, they were startled by the solemn expressions on the faces of Yan Xuan and the others outside the tower.
At first, they thought something had happened, but when they learned that the eighth floor, which had not been visited for many years, had finally been successfully entered this year, everyone was shocked.
They all looked up, their gazes fixed on the eighth floor, their hearts filled with shock, as well as deep doubt and curiosity.
Who exactly is the person on the eighth floor?
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, time passed day by day, and every day there were talisman masters who were forced to come out of the talisman master tower.
On the seventh day, one of the two points of light on the sixth floor of the Talisman Master Tower disappeared.
Soon after, a graceful purple figure appeared at the entrance of the Rune Master Tower.
As Zi Yue stepped out of the Talisman Master Tower, a hint of surprise flashed across her usually icy face when she saw the dense crowd outside. But it quickly vanished. She took small steps to Yan Xuan and said softly, "I'm sorry, teacher."
"Hehe, just do your best," Yan Xuan chuckled and shook his head, then looked up and said, "Besides, it's still uncertain who will win or lose..."
Upon hearing this, Zi Yue also raised her head, and when her beautiful eyes focused on the light spot on the eighth floor, her slender jade hands suddenly clenched tightly, and her calm heart was suddenly stirred up with turbulent waves.
"Who is on the eighth floor?" Zi Yue asked, her voice trembling slightly.
"It's still unclear," Yan Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "It could be Zhou Tong, or it could be Lin Yi..."
“It seems my judgment was mediocre,” Zi Yue said, her beautiful eyes fixed on the Rune Master Tower with a complicated expression.
Not only did Lin Yi not come out, but Lin Dong was also still cultivating on the sixth level.
On the ninth day, a cry of surprise suddenly rang out from outside the Talisman Master Tower.
This voice, almost instantly, ignited the tense atmosphere.
"The light from the seventh floor is coming down!"
All eyes suddenly shifted, and then they saw that the point of light that had been lingering on the seventh floor for nine days was moving down layer by layer.
As the light points descended layer by layer, everyone outside the Talisman Master Tower suddenly stood up, their gazes fixed intently on the entrance.
One of the people who appears will tell them who will be the final victor in this tower battle!
Although Lin Dong did not come out either, he was only on the sixth floor, while the tower battle was about the number of floors one could climb.
Under the unwavering gaze of everyone, within just a few minutes, the point of light appeared on the lowest level...
A moment later, a blurry figure emerged from the darkness and slowly appeared under the gazes of those who were watching.
Gazing at the man standing at the entrance of the Talisman Master Tower, his expression slightly weary and dejected, the area in front of the tower fell into an instant silence. A gentle breeze blew by, stirring up the fallen leaves on the ground...
Chapter 63 Victory and Defeat! The Fourth Seal! [Please Read On]
Zhou Tong!
With his gaze fixed on the gate of the Talisman Master Tower, Han Yun felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.
The faces of Liu Long and the talisman masters from Tianhuo City beside him were also filled with disbelief.
In disbelief, some people couldn't help but look back at the eighth floor, and only after confirming that the point of light still existed did they gasp in shock.
The answer is clear: the person who successfully entered the eighth level was not Zhou Tong, but Lin Yi!
The deathly silence lasted for a moment, then was broken by the deafening cheers of the Flame City Talisman Masters.
After two consecutive years of defeats to Skyfire City, Flame City has finally achieved victory!
Hearing the cheers that shook the ground, a relieved smile spread across Yan Xuan's aged face as he breathed a sigh of relief.
Beside him, Zi Yue pursed her red lips, her beautiful eyes gazing at the light spot on the eighth floor. The coldness in her eyes seemed to melt away at this moment.
No matter how aloof she was before, she had to admit defeat after Lin Yi's amazing performance today!
Amidst the cheers, Zhou Tong walked out in silence. He then stopped in front of Han Yun, rubbed his face vigorously, and the dejection on his face disappeared completely, his eyes regaining their brilliance.
"Let's go back to Skyfire City."
Zhou Tong spoke calmly to Han Yun, seemingly undeterred by the defeat.
Looking at Zhou Tong's calm expression, Han Yun gave a wry smile but did not reprimand him.
Even if such a person cannot compare to Lin Yi in the future, he will surely achieve considerable success.
As soon as Zhou Tong finished speaking, he took the lead and walked outside, and the surrounding crowd quickly dispersed.
Leading the group from Tianhuo City, Zhou Tong headed outwards, but just as he was about to leave the crowd, he suddenly paused.
"Master Yan, please tell Lin Yi that I accept my defeat wholeheartedly this time. However, next time, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely defeat him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Tong stopped and walked away, eventually disappearing from everyone's sight.
"This guy, he's not discouraged by defeat, he's got some character..." Yan Xuan sighed softly as he watched Zhou Tong's departing figure.
The surrounding talisman masters nodded in agreement. Although they had lost, Zhou Tong's composure was indeed admirable.
Yan Xuan smiled slightly, turned his head, and looked at the point of light on the eighth floor of the Rune Master Tower. "Hehe, but this guy from my Flame City is an even bigger figure..."
While the outside world was buzzing about the tower battle, Lin Yi remained quietly seated on the eighth floor of the Talisman Master Tower, as still as a stone sculpture.
Although Lin Yi's body remained completely still, a very strong suction force permeated the area around him.
Under this suction force, the exceptionally powerful spiritual energy fluctuations within the eighth layer were all drawn in and continuously poured into Lin Yi's Niwan Palace in his mind.
Ten days have passed since Lin Yi stepped into the eighth floor.
In these ten days, his mental strength has been growing at an extremely rapid rate.
In just ten days, it was comparable to the nearly half a year that Lin Yi spent cultivating in the outside world!
Of course, this is naturally due to the black hole formed by the natal talisman.
That terrifying devouring power could even directly devour the pervasive mental pressure, and finally transform it into a powerful mental force, which was stored in his Niwan Palace.
Faced with that inexhaustible flow, the black hole vortex in Lin Yi's Niwan Palace was like a bottomless pit, impossible to fill.
However, Lin Yi could sense that an extremely powerful spiritual force was gathering within the black hole of the spirit talisman. When the black hole of the spirit talisman truly stopped, it might be the time when he successfully advanced to the fourth seal talisman master!
As Lin Yi focused on the spirit talisman black hole, he suddenly realized that it seemed to operate entirely on its own without his intervention. Even without his deliberate activation, the black hole continued to operate, absorbing the immense spiritual energy within the eighth level…
So, Lin Yi had a thought and took out a Yin-Yang Bead from his Qiankun Ring, held it in his palm, and began to cultivate his Yuan Power.
In the sixth level of the Talisman Master Tower, Lin Dong persisted for half a month and finally succeeded in breaking through to the realm of a second-level Talisman Master.
He then made a full-fledged effort to reach the seventh level, where he cultivated for nine days, but was still expelled.
Although Lin Dong's Ancient Vortex Rune Seal also has the ability to devour, his spiritual power is still somewhat lacking. Moreover, the spiritual pressure inside the Rune Master Tower is many times stronger than when it was first opened!
Outside the Talisman Master Tower, the once dense crowd has dwindled considerably, with only Yan Xuan and his companions still coming here every day.
When Yan Xuan saw that Lin Dong had only just emerged and had even broken through to the second level of talisman master, he was overjoyed. "Haha, not bad, very good!"
Although Lin Yi is stronger, Lin Dong is his disciple.
