180: Xiao Fan breaks the record at the Taiyi Evolution Pagoda!

"Thank you for your favor, Old Ancestor."

Lu Yuan was not polite: "However, this Junior is indeed quite interested in a certain treasure land of the Qin Family."

"Oh? Where?"

"Taiyi Law-Deriving Tower," Lu Yuan said directly.

"Taiyi Law-Deriving Tower?"

Qin Shouzhuo was taken aback, then laughed in realization: "So it's that one."

"That is a Legacy treasure left by my Qin Family's ancestor, ranked thirteenth on the heaven-piercing spirit treasure ranking."

Speaking of the ranking, Qin Shouzhuo's expression became a bit strange.

"Actually, it was originally ranked tenth."

"It's just that a few days ago, the heaven-piercing spirit treasure ranking underwent a change. The Twin Swords of the Pangu Emperor and that cauldron of the mother qi of all things appeared out of nowhere, forcefully pushing it down."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan rubbed his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed.

This matter seemed to have been caused by him.

"Although this tower is not good for slaughter, it is a supreme divine object for assisting cultivation."

Qin Shouzhuo did not dwell on this topic, but waved his hand: "Since young friend is interested, then from today onwards, the Taiyi Law-Deriving Tower is open to all Disciples of the Qingyun Dao Sect! No contribution points are needed, and you can enter at any time!"

"Thank you, Old Ancestor!"

...Qin Family Ancestral Land, Central Square.

A magnificent nine-story tower, cast entirely from green jade glass, stood quietly in the center of the square.

Around the tower body, colorful mists of Laws lingered year-round.

A wind chime hung from each layer of the eaves; when the wind blew, they didn't emit a crisp tinkling, but rather a deafening Great Dao melody.

Taiyi Law-Deriving Tower!

At this time, many Qin Family Disciples had already gathered outside the tower.

Because today, a special person was challenging the tower.

"Look! The lights on the fifth floor are lit!"

"Heavens! That Xiao Fan actually managed to break through to the fifth floor?"

"Clearing the fifth floor at the Foundation Establishment Stage? This is too monstrous!"

"As expected of the Ancient Sacred Body. Although he's an illegitimate son, his talent is indeed beyond reproach."

The crowd discussed fervently, their voices filled with shock and envy.

And at this time.

Lu Yuan did not come alone. With a sweep of his Divine Sense, he directly summoned Gu Qingxue, Su Yueli, Lu Xueyao, Xiao Yuechan, and Fairy Lengyue from the eternal night demon ring.

As for Ji Yaoguang, it was not yet appropriate for her to appear in the Qin Family; he did not intend to publicize his relationship with Ji Yaoguang to the Qin Family for the time being.

The group arrived at the square in a grand manner.

"Is this the Taiyi Law-Deriving Tower?"

Lu Yuan looked up at the tower, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Qin Mengyao introduced softly from the side:

"The Taiyi Law-Deriving Tower contains a universe within."

"Floors one through five correspond to the Five Elements Laws of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Each floor is its own Small World, where the Laws manifest as various Vicious Beasts."

"Floors six and seven correspond to the Yin and Yang Laws. The Yin and Yang Qi circulate here, manifesting as the Lunar Jade Rabbit and the Solar Divine Bird."

"Floors eight and nine contain even more special mutated Laws like Wind-Thunder and Frost. It's even said that on the ninth floor, there is a trace of primordial Chaos."

"Moreover..."

Qin Mengyao pointed at the tower body: "The most miraculous part of this tower is that after killing the Law beasts inside, they don't leave corpses. Instead, they collapse into strands of pure 'Law Crystal Silk'."

"Cultivators can directly absorb these crystal silks into their Sea of Consciousness, increasing their comprehension of that Law as if receiving an epiphany."

"For Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stages who haven't yet touched the Laws, these crystal silks can even forcefully elevate their Realm comprehension, offering infinite benefits."

"However, the difficulty is also extremely high."

"The tower automatically adjusts its difficulty based on the challenger's Realm. Take Xiao Fan, for instance; although he is at the Foundation Establishment Stage, the opponents he faces inside become exponentially stronger with each floor."

"Now that he has reached the fifth floor, it means he has defeated a Middle Stage Golden Core Law beast, breaking the Qin Family record for the Foundation Establishment Stage held for thousands of years!"

"Even the Old Ancestor back then, at the same Realm, only stopped at the fourth floor."

"As for the eighth and ninth floors..." Qin Mengyao gave a bitter smile: "Those are legendary forbidden zones. Even with the Old Ancestor's Great Ascension Stage cultivation, he could only clear the seventh floor and stopped at the eighth."

After hearing the introduction, the interest in Lu Yuan's eyes grew even stronger.

"Law Crystal Silk? Direct absorption for comprehension?"

"Isn't this tailor-made for me?"

Although he currently possessed many Laws, except for the Law of Space which had reached the Seventh Molt, most of the others were still lingering at the sixth. Especially the Chaos Law; breaking through to the Seventh Molt required a massive amount of accumulation.

This Taiyi Law-Deriving Tower might allow him to break through to the Late Stage of Body Integration ahead of time.

"In that case, let's go and try it."

Lu Yuan turned to the women behind him: "You all go in together. Clear as many floors as you can; these Law Crystal Silks will be of great benefit to you."

"Yes, Husband (Revered Master)!"

The five women responded in unison, their beautiful eyes filled with eagerness.

Just then.

*Buzz!*

The gates of the fifth floor of the Taiyi Law-Deriving Tower suddenly burst with light.

A figure emerged from the tower, looking somewhat bedraggled but with head held high.

It was Xiao Fan!

At this moment, his clothes were torn and he bore many wounds, clearly having gone through a bitter battle.

However, the expression on his face was one of unprecedented arrogance and confidence.

"The fifth floor! I passed!"

Xiao Fan stood before the tower gate, feeling the awe and worship in the gazes of the surrounding Qin Family Disciples, finding great satisfaction in his heart.

"Do you see? This is my strength!"

"Breaking the record! Unprecedented!"

"In the Foundation Establishment Stage, I, Xiao Fan, am invincible!"

He took a deep breath, feeling that he had finally reclaimed the dignity belonging to a protagonist.

Lu Xueyao, the Azure Cloud Sect—all were tossed to the back of his mind at this moment.

"Congratulations, Young Revered Master Xiao Fan!"

"Young Revered Master Xiao Fan is mighty!"

A group of Qin Family Disciples swarmed around him, their flattery endless.

Xiao Fan enjoyed this feeling of being the center of attention, a smug smile curling his lips.

However.

The next moment.

His smile suddenly froze on his face.

Because he saw the crowd suddenly part like a tide, making way for a broad path.

At the end of that path, a group of people was walking slowly towards them.

The leader was dressed in green robes, handsome and elegant. Although he didn't intentionally release any pressure, his abyss-like aura made everything around him pale in comparison.

Behind him followed five peerless women, each one elegant and refined, like a group of celestial companions.

Lu Yuan!

And... Lu Xueyao!

Xiao Fan's pupils constricted violently, and his fists clenched instantly. His original good mood vanished into thin air at this moment.

"They... why are they here?"

"Could it be they are also here to challenge the tower?"

A bad premonition rose in Xiao Fan's heart.

But he quickly forced himself to calm down again.

"Hmph! So what if they came?"

"I have just broken the record and created a miracle!"

"Even Lu Xueyao, at the same Realm, might not necessarily do better than me!"
