The 65th floor was the same with eighteen circles, and a killing aura filled the outside of these eighteen circles. A sweep of Di Jiu’s divine thoughts told him that this was where the metallic body refinement was located. There were far fewer cultivators refining their bodies on this level, only two of them.
Di Jiu did not refine his body at this level, his divine thoughts had long since perceived that there was not much difference between this level of body refinement and the 64th level. He was now in the Soul Realm of the Three Kings Realm, and refining his body at this layer until next year would not allow him to cross into the True King Realm.
After sensing the basic laws of the 65th layer, Di Jiu entered the 66th layer.
The sixty-sixth layer was also a body refining layer, this layer was wood attribute, then the sixty-seventh layer was water attribute, and the sixty-eighth layer was earth attribute ……
Except for the sixty-fourth layer, where there were more than ten people, the number of people on the later body refining layers was getting smaller and smaller, with none on the sixty-sixth and sixty-seventh layers and only one on the sixty-eighth layer.
Di Jiu went all the way up until he reached the sixty-ninth floor when there were more people, and there were a total of nine people on the sixty-ninth floor.
There was no body refining on the sixty-ninth floor, and as soon as Di Jiu entered it, he felt a kind of aura that stimulated the sea of consciousness. Compared to the aura that stimulated the sea of consciousness on the forty-ninth floor, the aura that stimulated the sea of consciousness on the sixty-ninth floor was more powerful and had a clearer dao rhythm.
This was a place to temper the divine mind, Di Jiu understood, no wonder so many people were here.
Di Jiu scanned the sixty-ninth floor, there were nine white jade futons, and all nine of them were now filled with people.
It was certain that sitting on this white jade futon to quench his divine thoughts would have a greater and more obvious effect.
If he wanted a white jade futon, then he would have to drive away a person. If it was Di Lao Jiu who was still in Ji Guo’s Pearl City, he would not hesitate to go up and kick a guy away and occupy a seat himself.
Now Di Jiu’s way of dealing with things had changed too much, not to mention that he had resented what Tiger Yisheng had done before, and even more so, he would not do it again himself.
Di Jiu walked up to a late Void God cultivator, the cultivator who was tempering his divine thoughts saw Di Jiu walking over and immediately stood up, staring at Di Jiu warily.
Don’t look at the strength Di Jiu displayed as only being at the Yuan-Soul realm, but how could a Yuan-Soul realm that could cross into the 69th level be any worse? Even if Di Jiu was no match for him at all, once he used too much true essence and divine thoughts, he might not be able to block the thrust on the Dao Tower and be transported out. Besides, the competition for these nine futons on the 69th floor is probably the fiercest in the entire Dao Tower, so if he consumes too much, I’m afraid that soon he won’t be able to stay here.
Di Jiu said with a clasp of his fist, “May I ask fellow Daoist, how many levels are there in total for this quenching of the divine mind?”
In Di Jiu’s mind, since the forty-nine and sixty-nine layers could both quench the divine thoughts, it meant that there might be more at the back.
Seeing that Di Jiu didn’t make a direct move, this cultivator, still on guard, slowly said, “As far as I know, there is another place to quench divine thoughts on the ninetieth floor, as for whether there is more after the ninetieth floor, I don’t know.”
“Many thanks.” Hearing that there was still a place to temper divine thoughts on the ninetieth floor, Di Jiu thanked him and casually found a place to start feeling the basic laws of the sixty-ninth floor.
In just less than half an hour, Di Jiu stood up and walked towards the light steps leading to the seventieth layer.
The cultivator who had been on guard against Di Jiu before opened his eyes in shock and stared at Di Jiu’s disappearing back, after the 64th layer, he had never seen a cultivator who could enter the next layer after staying at one layer for only half an hour.
It was Yan Tashan, who was number one in the Five Continents Dao Monument last time, who had to spend most of the day in the sixty-fourth floor to feel his way before he could climb the sixty-fifth floor.
The experience of climbing the Five Continents Dao Tower is that the more time one spends on one of the levels, the easier it is to climb the next level. Otherwise, the tougher it would be.
The seventieth floor was once again back to the previous cultivation floor, with nothing but extremely clear rules, and a dense to terrifying spiritual energy, and there were eight people cultivating on this floor.
Di Jiu was sure that if he cultivated on the seventieth floor for half a year, he would definitely be able to cross over to the Void God realm.
The seventieth floor was not his goal, and Di Jiu went straight up to the seventy-first floor after sensing the aura of laws on the seventieth floor.
……
If previously Di Jiu’s crossing into the 64th layer had shocked the whole Five Continents Square and almost 90% of the sects started to be interested in Di Jiu, then now after Di Jiu crossed into the 71st layer and his ranking came to the 49th place, even the five great sects were paying attention to Di Jiu.
“Young Master Red Ta*sel has crossed into the seventy-first layer.” Even the cultivators in the square who didn’t know Di Jiu, knew that Di Jiu’s name was called Young Master Red Ta*sel.
……
After Di Jiu had sensed the seventy-first basic law, he did not immediately head to the seventy-second layer, but instead walked towards a young male cultivator carrying a red-red long sword.
There weren’t many people on the seventy-first floor, and those who could climb up to this level were known to everyone. The fact that Di Jiu had come up with a strange face would obviously attract everyone’s attention. After seeing Di Jiu walking towards the young man with the crimson sword, many cultivators were ready to watch the action, wanting to see what this newcomer wanted.
The young man carrying the crimson longsword was called Dong Youjian, who had just taken out Hong Kui, the ninety-third member of the Sea Ranking, in Heavenly Way City a few months ago, taking his place.
Seeing Di Jiu approaching, Dong Youjian stood up, he didn’t draw his sword but looked at Di Jiu calmly and said, “I know you.”
Di Jiu smiled and said, “That’s right, I’ve wanted to get to know Brother Dong for a long time, but I never had the chance, today I finally have the opportunity to get to know Brother Dong, first of all, I want to thank Brother Dong for saving me.”
Dong Youjian said indifferently, “Even if I hadn’t done it, that Hong Kui wouldn’t have been able to help you.”
Di Jiu was stunned, if Dong Youjian didn’t make a move, he did have a way to deal with that punch of Hong Kui’s, that was something he had pressed, how did Dong Youjian know about it?
“How did Brother Dong know?” Di Jiu was a little surprised.
Dong Youjian remained expressionless and said, “I didn’t know, but now I do. If you can’t deal with Hong Kui’s punch, you won’t be able to go up to the seventy-first floor either.”
Di Jiu knew that Dong Youjian had misjudged, he didn’t point it out, “Brother Dong could come to the seventy-first floor in such a short time, it looks like his strength is still above the ninety-third of the Sea Ranking.”
Dong Youjian shook his head, “My strength now barely stays at the ninety-third level of the Sea Ranking, in fact many who are stronger than me are intentionally on the forty-ninth level, it’s not that they don’t come up, it’s just that it’s not time. In another month, there will be at least one or two hundred people surpa*sing me. And I have come to the seventy-first layer, which is the ultimate.”
After saying that, Dong Right Jian had a hint of despondency in his tone. The truth was that the place he wanted to go was the eighty-first floor, and he knew very well that he definitely did not have a chance to enter the eighty-first floor this time. If he didn’t have a chance this time, he would have even less of a chance in the future.
Once he crossed over to the Cultivated Tripod, it would be difficult for him to even come to the seventy-first floor.
Di Jiu understood the meaning of Dong Youjian’s words, staying on the forty-ninth layer, wasn’t that exactly the layer for condensing divine thoughts?
The sixty-ninth floor could be used for practicing divine thoughts to expand the sea of consciousness, but there were only nine white jade futons on the sixty-ninth floor. Once everyone flocks to the sixty-ninth floor, there will definitely be a fight. In the end, only nine people will be able to cultivate, so the vast majority of those who know they are not strong enough to fight for the futon might as well stay on the forty-ninth floor to cultivate.
“Brother Dong, I’ve come to you because I want to ask you for advice.” Di Jiu clasped his fist and said in a sincere tone.
Di Jiu looked like he was only at the early stage of his Yuan Soul, yet he could ascend to the seventy-first floor, Dong Youjian was sure that Di Jiu’s future achievements would not be weaker than his, he nodded his head, “Go ahead.”
“I am very envious of Brother Dong’s sword formation, I wonder if Brother Dong can teach me the sword formation? Of course, in return, I would be willing to pay what Brother Dong needs.”
Di Jiu was indeed envious of Dong Youjian’s sword formation, in fact, there was still a grade difference in strength between Dong Youjian and Hong Kui, and Dong Youjian had taken out Hong Kui with his sword formation.
He was even a Grade 9 King Formation Master, if he had learned the sword formation, he might not be unable to deal with opponents several notches stronger than him after switching to the sword formation.
The sword formation that was the combat power of the formation dao to the extreme. A formation master who did not know the sword formation, but instead fought his opponent by setting up a spell formation, or by the time he had set up the spell formation, his head would have been taken away too.
Dong Right Jian was silent for a long time before he said, “Perhaps you are the first person who has the guts and courage to say in front of others that he wants the other party to teach you the mastery, if it were before, I would not hesitate to make a move against you. But now, I agree. Rather than let this one discipline of mine become extinct, I would rather pa*s on the Sword Formation to you, for at least you are someone who is in my good graces. As for what I need, you can’t get it out right now.”
This discipline is extinct? Di Jiu subconsciously asked, “Brother Dong, just even if you don’t pa*s it on to me, this discipline of yours won’t be extinct, right? Not to mention that you are still around, you can also take on disciples yourself.”
Dong Right Jian smiled mockingly, “The reason why I gave up everything to come to the seventy-first floor was actually my real intention to go to the eighty-first floor. In my current state, I obviously can’t make it to the eighty-first floor. I have an enemy who is far too powerful than me, and if I can’t get my sword formation to cross another level, I’ll soon be hunted down and killed.”
“Is it because of Hong Kui?” Di Jiu asked.
Dong Right Jian nodded and didn’t say anything.
Di Jiu laughed and said, “Brother Dong, before you met me, your words might have been true. Now that you’ve met me, Di Jiu, what’s so difficult about going to the eighty-first floor?”
Di Jiu’s voice was not small, and all the cultivators on the seventy-first floor heard Di Jiu’s words and all looked at him with contempt. It was extremely difficult to go up to every level of the Five Continents Dao Tower, a mere early Yuan-Soul practitioner was already lucky to come to the seventy-first level, but he still wanted to go to the eighty-first level, he really did not know how high the sky was.
“You have a way to go to the eighty-first floor?” Dong Youjian looked at Di Jiu excitedly, his tone trembling a little. He actually had a hunch that Di Jiu was telling the truth.
“Tell me what layer the eighty-first floor is?” Di Jiu asked.
Dong Right Jian said offhandedly, “It’s the Sword Dao layer, I’m the only heir of the Sword Formation Sect now, and the only thing missing from cultivating the Sword Formation is the Sword Heart, I’m going to the eighty-first layer in order to find the Sword Heart. If I can really find the Sword Heart, after I cross into the Multiplying Tripod Realm, what fear will I have if the Robbed Life Realm comes?”
With his heart surging, Dong Youjian said all his words in one breath.
Di Jiu hurriedly asked, “Brother Dong, since there is a Sword Heart layer, is there also a Blade Heart layer?”
