103: To obtain the secret inheritance, you must enter this tower of heaven.

Moro, with his two remaining Elders, hid in a cave, not daring to breathe, and when they went out to search for Spiritual Plants, they just poked their heads out and encountered Loose Cultivators seeking revenge. After a fight, they were even more seriously injured.

Xue Wushang of the Blood Soul Sect also reined in his ferocity, fearing that he would run into a revenge party.

The Spiritual Mist in the Secret Realm was still thick, but it was no longer the domain of the Demonic Path forces.

The sound of footsteps seeking revenge, the crisp clash of Magical Artifacts, and occasional angry shouts intertwined to form a "Sieve and Suppress Order" against the Demonic Path forces.

Everyone knew that this was the only Opportunity to take revenge on the Demonic Path at a fair Realm; once they left the Secret Realm, and the Demonic Path Cultivators recovered their cultivation, seeking revenge would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

As time passed, the people in the Secret Realm gradually figured out the environment and began to advance towards the core area.

Along the way, the Spiritual Plants became more precious, and the Spiritual Qi fluctuations from the Spiritual Mines became stronger, attracting various forces to speed up.

The Seven Great Sects, relying on their rich resources and exquisite tracking techniques, opened up relatively safe routes in the Spiritual Mist.

Although the Demonic Path forces suffered losses in personnel, they also relied on theWeird (eerie) nature of their Demonic Path Cultivation Techniques to find many Opportunities in some hidden corners.

The Spiritual Mist in the depths of the Secret Realm became increasingly dense, almost solidifying, and the air was filled with an ancient, heart-pounding pressure.

All the groups, after battles and explorations, eventually followed the strongest Spiritual Qi fluctuations and arrived at the most core area of the Secret Realm.

The Spiritual Mist at the core of the Secret Realm was so thick that water could be squeezed from it, and every breath carried the heavy sensation of ancient Dao Rhyme.

The bluestone slabs underfoot glowed with a faint golden light, and the ancient runes carved in the cracks lit up from time to time, making everyone's shadows stretch long and short.

When Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu stepped into everyone's sight, the scene instantly froze.

The remaining Disciples of the Demon Heaven Sect, whose faces were originally pale, instantly lost all color, and their hands gripping their Magical Artifacts began to tremble.

Luo's eyes widened, staring intently at the two, his Devilish Qi surging uncontrollably, yet he dared not act rashly due to apprehension.

The previous crushing defeat lingered in their minds like a nightmare, and upon seeing these two "harbingers of doom," their legs felt like lead, and they only wanted to turn and flee.

The gazes of other forces around them also turned their way, with various expressions.

Those Loose Cultivators and small forces who had been oppressed by the Demonic Path were filled with admiration and gratitude, quietly cupping their fists in salute to the two, and discussing in low voices.

"It was these two great heroes who taught the Demon Heaven Sect a harsh lesson, finally releasing the resentment in our hearts!" Their words were filled with satisfaction.

Yun Canghai of the Myriad Law Pavilion had deep eyes, carefully observing Xiao Ruobai's and Fang Hanyu's every move, secretly speculating about their origins and Cultivation Technique styles.

When Lie Tianxiong of the Blazing Heaven Pavilion saw the two, his eyes instantly turned red as if they were about to drip blood; it was these two who ambushed him and stole his Storage Ring.

"They truly deserve to die a thousand deaths."

He clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails almost digging into his palms. The image of his Storage Ring being stolen instantly flashed in his mind, and his heart surged with hatred.

But when he glimpsed the Demon Heaven Sect members nearby, startled like birds, and then thought of the Demon Heaven Sect's previous tragic state, his full-blown rage could only be forcibly suppressed, not daring to act rashly.

Gritting his teeth, he stared at the two, the bloodshot in his eyes almost solidifying. He had only one thought: "Once we leave the Secret Realm and recover our cultivation, I will make you two pay the price!"

Shi Wanshan stood among the Azure Profound Sect's team, and when he saw Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu, a flicker of imperceptible relief and approval flashed in his eyes.

Yun Canghai of the Myriad Law Pavilion stood at the front of the team, gently rotating the jade Ruyi in his hand, but his gaze repeatedly scrutinized Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu.

He could clearly feel that although the Spiritual Power around them was only at the Peak of the Purple Mansion Realm, it was astonishingly stable, and even the rhythm of their breathing had a methodical quality, unlike the chaotic Qi of ordinary Loose Cultivators.

"The Foundation of these two is more solid than anyone in the Seven Great Sects..."

Only Xue Wushang of the Blood Soul Sect stood in the shadows without speaking.

He hadn't seen the two make a move, but he knew Moro's strength. For Moro to be so wary, these two were definitely not to be trifled with.

As everyone's gazes were still focused on Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu, a low hum suddenly came from deep within the Spiritual Mist.

The sound did not come from any Cultivator or Yao Beast, but carried the heavy sensation of an ancient artifact awakening, trembling through the air along the Spiritual Vein.

Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a profound black tall tower slowly revealing its full appearance at the densest point of the Spiritual Mist.

The tower was about a hundred zhang tall, divided into nine layers. Golden-glowing rune bells hung from the eaves of each layer, yet they made no sound when the wind blew.

Only the golden runes carved on the tower body slowly flowed, swallowing and exhaling the Spiritual Mist like living things. The light of the runes extended to various parts of the Secret Realm, subtly connecting with the ancient pressure in the air.

"This tower..."

Yun Canghai raised his hand and pressed his brow, trying to sense the tower's origin, but he only touched a Dao Rhyme far exceeding the Purple Mansion Realm. He suddenly looked at the runes on the tower body, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.

"The cultivation restriction of the Secret Realm is probably related to this tower!"

These words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, and the crowd instantly stirred.

Lie Tianxiong stared at the tower body; he had long felt that the Secret Realm's restriction was peculiar, and now seeing the connection between the tower and the runes, he immediately understood.

The Loose Cultivators discussed animatedly, some pointing to the extended rune traces on the tower body, whispering, "No wonder we're suppressed at the Purple Mansion Realm wherever we go, the root cause is this tower!"

No one moved first, their gazes shifting back and forth between the tall tower and each other.

Some stared at the Legacy Opportunity within the tower, some were wary of Xiao Ruobai's and Fang Hanyu's strength, and some were calculating how to use the tower to break the restriction.

Only the golden runes on the tower body continued to flow calmly, as if they had already seen through countless years of contention, quietly waiting for someone who could unlock its secrets.

Just then, a faint golden light screen suddenly lit up in front of the tower, and an ancient and majestic voice echoed in the Void Realm.

"To obtain the Secret Realm's Legacy, one must challenge this Tongtian Pagoda. The tower is divided into nine levels, each a separate space. One must defeat the opponent within the space to advance.

Entrants' cultivation will be automatically unlocked, allowing them to exert their true cultivation. The first level will have an opponent of equal cultivation, and each subsequent level will be stronger than the last."

Before the voice finished, many Cultivators could no longer hold back and rushed towards the light screen.

But as soon as their palms touched the light screen, they were repelled by an invisible force. Some were even thrown back several steps, their Spiritual Power surging.

"What's going on? Why can't we get in?"

A Disciple from the Blazing Heaven Pavilion clutched his numb palm, his face full of confusion.

The voice spoke again, with a hint of indifference: "The Tongtian Pagoda only selects those with outstanding combat power at the same Realm to enter. Those who are insincere or lacking in strength, do not force your way in."

As the indifferent voice faded, the crowd instantly stirred, and many Cultivators showed unwillingness on their faces as they couldn't touch the light screen.

Lin Lie, the Chief Disciple of the Blazing Heaven Pavilion, was already itching for action. He immediately stepped forward with his flaming long saber. When his palm touched the light screen, golden runes rapidly flowed, seemingly conducting a detailed verification, not directly repelling him like ordinary Cultivators.

Liu Chengfeng of the Myriad Law Pavilion, Bing Li of the Cold Moon Valley, and the Core Disciple of the Tianyan Sect also stepped forward successively. These Core Disciples of the great Sects were already top-tier in combat power at the same Realm, and the light screen smoothly opened a path during verification, with no one being rejected.

Only a few non-Core Cultivators were bounced back when they tried, their faces flushed, but they feared the power of the light screen and dared not try again.

Seeing this scene, many Sect Masters and Elders also stepped forward to try and enter the tower.

Fang Hanyu and Xiao Ruobai also touched the light screen and directly entered the tower.
