Chapter 566: Chapter 566 City of Black Spirits_1

After being used, the Seal Card became blank.

"You stay here and protect Joshua Long!"

As long as the Ten Thousand Poisonous Python did not die, it could keep living indefinitely, which wasn’t bad. After all, it was an eighth-level Peak Fierce Beast—suitable as Joshua Long’s mount or bodyguard.

"Roar!"

The Ten Thousand Poisonous Python roared and nodded in agreement.

Ling Xiao was very pleased, and he took the blank Seal Card to the previous battlefield. He aimed at the corpse of the Black Dragon King and shouted, "Seal!"

Incredibly, the already shattered body of the Black Dragon King was sealed within the card, still in one piece.

In the upper-left corner, it displayed his strength—Half-step Celestial (ten percent strength).

In the upper-right corner, it showed the number of uses he had left—three.

It seemed that at the current stage, monsters at the half-step Celestial level could be used three times, not bad at all.

Ling Xiao was very satisfied with this.

It was only a pity that he now had only three Seal Cards; otherwise, he also planned to seal the Poison Dragon King.

Although the Poison Dragon King was not as strong as the Black Dragon King, its power was not weak either.

Speaking of the Poison Dragon King—Ling Xiao was definitely going to kill him. He was a loyal lackey of the Black Dragon King, and since Ling Xiao had obtained his Dragon Pearl, not killing him would bring trouble.

Therefore, after killing the Poison Dragon King, Ling Xiao promoted an old fellow from the Poison Dragon Clan who was quite prestigious and opposed to the Poison Dragon King.

Having put away the Book of Seals, Ling Xiao went to say goodbye to Joshua Long and the others.

Then, outside the Land of Dragons, he took out the magical treasure "Land of Dragons" he had obtained from the Black Dragon King and captured the entire Land of Dragons within it.

In that instant, the Moon Blossom Pagoda experienced an earthquake and mountain shaking, startling several cultivators from their practice.

However, their luck wasn’t too bad. After the energy fluctuation, the monsters that would normally come out to cause trouble in the third trial hid in their nests and didn’t come out.

This in turn gave several trial disciples more time to cultivate.

Outside the Moon Blossom Pagoda, the higher-ups, including the Moon Lady, were dumbfounded.

They observed a golden Divine Dragon twining around the Moon Blossom Pagoda, circling for a while before leaving.

What on earth happened inside?

Why did a Golden Divine Dragon appear?

This was a scene that had never occurred before in any Pagoda Climbing Ceremony.

Countless questions haunted the minds of the Moon Hua Sect’s senior leaders, and they were now really eager to know what had happened inside.

Unfortunately, even with the vertical eye of the Divine Sky Heavenly Venerate, they couldn’t see what was going on inside.

All they could do was wait.

After leaving the Land of Dragons, Ling Xiao did not go to find Dai Yuling, Leng Hao, and Shangguan Lei.

Each person had their own opportunities, and from here on, it would be up to them.

Ling Xiao still needed to find clues for the fourth trial, so he set off toward the next secret area.

This was now the second day since they had entered the third trial. Normally, eighth-level Dangerous Beasts would appear and cause trouble, which meant that disciples like Dai Yuling, Leng Hao, Shangguan Lei, Liu Lie, Wu Yang, and Qin Wu would likely face the risk of elimination.

But due to the influence of the Land of Dragons, these eighth-level Dangerous Beasts did not appear, which only meant that these people had benefitted from Ling Xiao’s presence.

Unintentionally, Ling Xiao had again significantly raised the overall results of this Pagoda Climbing Ceremony.

Back then, even Demonflame Celestial and Sect Leader Chang Yueying only stayed in this third trial for two days before they were eliminated.

Every additional day from here on out would be a new record.

However, these honors meant little to Ling Xiao; he wasn’t interested in such empty titles. His goal was the fourth trial, a stage that nobody had reached for nearly a millennium.

Half a shichen later, Ling Xiao arrived at a desolate desert. Within it, the scorpions that were usually quite active had now hidden underneath the sands and did not emerge, sparing Ling Xiao considerable effort.

Otherwise, those elusive Desert Poison Scorpions would have posed a significant threat to any disciple undergoing the trials.

This was most likely due to the terrifying dragon might released by the Land of Dragons.

"Black Spirit City!"

Ling Xiao halted his steps. In front of him stood a city rising from the midst of the desert. Though severely damaged, it was entirely enveloped by a mass of black energy, preventing outsiders from easily entering.

Above the city walls, each brick emanated an aura of both evil and antiquity, betraying countless years of history.

"Could this be the city that the Black Spirits built after entering the Mysterious World a hundred thousand years ago?"

Since Ling Xiao had already learned about this history from the Dragon Clan, it didn’t take him long to connect it to the dreadful war that had suddenly erupted a hundred thousand years ago.

The style of this architecture was completely different from that of the Mysterious World. Even buildings that had been preserved from a hundred thousand years ago did not match this creation.

"It must have been built by the Black Spirits."

After observing for a while, Ling Xiao confirmed his thought.

These structures built by the Black Spirits were filled with a distinctive foreign charm, and more importantly, there were many things that Ling Xiao simply could not understand and were not recorded in ancient texts.

"Let’s go in and see what the situation is!"

With that thought, Ling Xiao released a Sword Soul Clone that passed through the black light barrier without incident.

This indicated that the black barrier was not dangerous to the disciples participating in the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony.

However, the moment he stepped into the black barrier, he unexpectedly discovered there were people inside.

And there were two of them!

Wang Nan, the Avatar of Demonflame Celestial, and Bai Feifei.

"Ling Xiao!"

"It’s you?"

Ling Xiao smiled faintly. Now a Martial Artist in the initial stages of Transcendent Realm Eightfold, with numerous trump cards up his sleeve, he was not afraid of Bai Feifei in the slightest.

Even with Wang Nan added to the mix, he wouldn’t necessarily be scared.

The possession of the Book of Seals provided him with formidable combat power.

"Good timing, kid. How about we work together?" Wang Nan, the Avatar of Demonflame Celestial, suggested with a smile.

"Work with you? I’m afraid there wouldn’t even be bones left of me afterward," Ling Xiao shook his head and said.

"Boy, when I speak, I mean what I say. I’ve wanted to enter Black Spirit City before, but ultimately it was beyond my reach alone. This place isn’t meant for just one person to overcome, you have no choice," Wang Nan said indifferently, "Once we succeed, the three of us will split whatever we find."

"Godfather, why beg him?" Bai Feifei spoke up discontentedly.

"Shut up, I know what I’m doing," Wang Nan glanced at Bai Feifei before turning to Ling Xiao and said, "I trust you’re a smart man and will agree to cooperate. You should know there’s no one else here more knowledgeable about Black Spirit City than I am. Inside, there are Mechanical Puppets created by the Black Spirit Race guarding it, and without my guidance, you’ll waste a lot of time and effort."

"Mechanical Puppets? Interesting," Ling Xiao had heard that Puppet Technique of the Green-eyed Clan was discovered from ancient tombs.

If that was to be considered, then perhaps the Puppet Technique of the Green-eyed Clan was originally brought to the Mysterious World by the Black Spirits.
