49: The training tower is open for free.

“Why?”

Nangong Wan's eyes held confusion. This was a Great Emperor Art; why had Senior Brother rejected it again?

“Senior Brother, you've already rejected me twice.”

Last time, she wanted to repay Senior Brother with the immortal bone, but he refused. Now he was refusing her again, which made her a little unhappy, and her small mouth involuntarily pouted.

“Wan'er, Senior Brother isn't deliberately refusing you, but this Cultivation Technique isn't suitable for Senior Brother.”

Mo Tianxiao replied earnestly.

Just by looking at the complex runes on it, he knew how difficult it would be to Cultivate this technique.

Based on his understanding of himself, with his meager talent, he didn't know how long it would take just to get started.

Since it took him over fifty years of Cultivating the Demon Emperor Scripture just to Breakthrough the first layer, he knew that the path of steady, down-to-earth Cultivation was not for him. Cheating was what he should be considering.

“Wan'er, honestly, the Cultivation Technique I Cultivate isn't any worse than yours. You don't have to worry about Senior Brother; our Revered Master definitely wouldn't be biased.”

He still felt that the Demon Emperor Scripture was more suitable for him. The cool armor was more appealing. Besides, he barely had enough villain value just Cultivating one Cultivation Technique; if he added another Great Emperor Art, it would probably just sit there collecting dust.

“Really?”

Nangong Wan's eyes held a trace of suspicion. She carefully observed Senior Brother's every move, feeling as though he was deceiving her.

“Of course it's true. You must Cultivate diligently and strive to become a Great Emperor Expert soon. Only then will Senior Brother be at ease.”

Mo Tianxiao couldn't help but imagine: in the future, if Junior Sister became a Great Emperor Expert, and Revered Master also became a Great Emperor Expert, he would have two Great Emperor Experts protecting him. Wouldn't he be able to walk sideways then?

What Child of Destiny, what Protagonist of Destiny—they would all be trash.

“Alright, Senior Brother, don't let me leave you too far behind, okay?”

Nangong Wan smiled playfully and put away the Void Grand Canon.

“Aha! I wondered why you were pulling this stunt today. So you were afraid I couldn't keep up with your Cultivation progress, huh?”

Mo Tianxiao realized what was happening, immediately reached out his large hand, and vigorously rubbed Nangong Wan's cheeks. “Wan'er, listen closely, Senior Brother will definitely not fall behind you.”

“Oh oh~, I believe Senior Brother.” Nangong Wan's face was squeezed into a ball, and she pouted, struggling to speak.

“Alright, in a few days, I will install the time pagoda within the Sect. You should go inside and Cultivate. You are not allowed to leave the Sect during this period.”

Nangong Wan's cheeks were like little dough balls—the more he rubbed them, the more he wanted to. Mo Tianxiao reluctantly let go of his hand and instructed her.

“Your current mission is to become truly strong. Only when you are powerful will no one dare to covet your immortal bone and Great Emperor Inheritance, understand?”

“I understand, Senior Brother. I will definitely Cultivate very hard and become super powerful!”

Nangong Wan clenched her small pink fists, her face determined. “When that time comes, I will be Senior Brother's solid backing!”

“Good, I'll be waiting for you to be my backing.”

Mo Tianxiao smiled, chatted briefly with Nangong Wan, and then left.

Although there was no surprise as he had imagined, this seemed pretty good too.

Junior Sister and his relationship was getting better and better.

What puzzled him was why the System hadn't yet prompted him that he had fully gained the Child of Destiny's trust. What exactly counted as gaining full trust?

It felt like the difficulty of this path was comparable to killing the Child of Destiny... Over the next few days, Mo Tianxiao ran back and forth between the Hidden Scripture Pavilion and the Alchemy Room, planning how to earn villain value.

Soon, Mo Tianxiao used all his remaining twenty thousand-plus villain value to upgrade his Alchemy Skill, directly raising High-Grade Alchemy to Perfection.

Using his superb Alchemy Skill, he began research and innovation. Finally, after tireless effort and deliberation, he developed a brand new Cultivation Pill completely free of pill toxin!

On this day, a black ancient pagoda hundreds of meters tall appeared in the massive plaza within the Netherworld Demonic Sect. It was named the Cultivation Pagoda.

The plaza was densely packed with the Sect's Disciples. Hearing that the Great Master had seized a quasi-emperor artifact and was letting them use it for free had excited them for a long time.

“All Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, Junior Brothers, and Junior Sisters, please don't rush!”

Li Yu stood on the high platform in front of the pagoda, loudly addressing the many Disciples.

Facing so many Disciples, including Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters far stronger than himself, he showed no stage fright, his eyes filled with pride.

The reason was simple: doing things for Senior Brother Mo gave him face; others could only be envious and jealous.

“The pagoda behind me is the quasi-emperor artifact Senior Brother Mo brought back. From now on, it will be the Cultivation Pagoda of our Demonic Sect! The flow of time inside is ten to one compared to the outside world!”

“What?! This pagoda actually has such an effect!”

“Doesn't that mean if we Cultivate inside for one year, it's equivalent to ten years of Cultivation outside?”

“This is simply a Divine Artifact for Cultivation!”

“Senior Brother Mo is magnificent! Truly worthy of being our Demonic Sect's Great Master! He actually lets us use such a treasure for free!”

“With a person of Senior Brother Mo's caliber in our Demonic Sect, why would we ever worry about not prospering!”

The Cultivators in the plaza were instantly ecstatic upon hearing the effects of the time pagoda. Such a treasure would be of immense help even to a Saint Realm Expert, yet the Great Master was letting all the Sect's Disciples use it for free.

In an instant, Mo Tianxiao's image in the hearts of the many Disciples gradually became magnificent.

“Everyone, please listen to me finish. This Cultivation Pagoda has nine layers in total. Considering the varying cultivation levels of the Disciples in the Sect, the Great Master has specially designated different areas.”

“The Cultivation areas for those below the Profound Understanding Realm are the first five layers. Those above the Profound Understanding Realm may go to the sixth, seventh, and eighth layers to Cultivate. As for the ninth layer, it is temporarily not open to the public.”

Li Yu announced the rules for the Cultivation Pagoda's opening.

In any Sect, the largest population consists of lower-level Cultivators. Even in a peak power like the Demonic Sect, the Cultivators below the Profound Comprehension Stage are the most numerous, accounting for nearly the majority.

The higher the Realm, the fewer the numbers.

Moreover, the Cultivation cycle for Cultivators at different stages is not the same. For example, a Qi Condensation Stage Cultivator might Cultivate inside the pagoda for a month and show obvious improvement.

However, for Cultivators at the Soul Transformation Stage or even the Profound Understanding Realm, it might take ten years of secluded Cultivation inside the pagoda just to have a chance to Breakthrough a minor Realm.

“Although the Cultivation Pagoda is permanently free to use, Senior Brother Mo said that everyone must not only focus on Cultivation. Essential Sect tasks must not be delayed, and necessary experience must not be neglected. Only then can you ensure you travel farther and reach higher!”

“Don't worry! We definitely won't delay our tasks!”

“The path of Cultivation requires not just cultivation level, but also experience and knowledge. Senior Brother Mo is truly comprehensive in his consideration.”

“Why else is he the Great Master? The Great Master has farsighted vision. No wonder he was able to snatch such a treasure from the hands of so many Prodigies. This is all experience gained by the Great Master throughout his journey.”

The many Disciples of the Demonic Sect sighed inwardly.

Even many Spirit Transformation Peak Cultivators felt a little ashamed. Previously, they held minor grievances that the Great Master, who was only at the Nascent Soul Stage, had taken the spot to enter the Void Emperor Secret Realm. Now, it seemed their perspective was too narrow.

“Everyone quiet down, there's one last thing.”

Li Yu pressed his hands down, signaling everyone to quiet. Next, he was going to complete the most important task Senior Brother had assigned him.
