201: Clear the Burning Heaven Tower

Lu Xingchen shook his head slightly.

"Thank you for Sect Master Gu Chen's kindness. However, I will decline the position of Saint. The Cangxuan Sect can no longer teach me much. I will be leaving here soon to go to Central State."

"However, I will not forget the Cangxuan Sect's nurturing grace. Here, I completed the transformation from a Great Martial Master to a Martial Emperor. If the Cangxuan Sect ever faces difficulties in the future, or if there is any place where I, Lu Xingchen, can be of use, I will definitely return to help."

Hearing this, Gu Chen was slightly stunned.

He had originally thought that the appointment of Saint was a great favor to Lu Xingchen, but he never expected that Lu Xingchen wouldn't even care for this identity.

This Lu Xingchen, a bit arrogant, quite interesting!

Gu Chen said with a smile, "Lu Xingchen, your ambition is truly not small! But this is good; such vision is worthy of the immortal slaying sword. In you, I seem to see Xiao Yuxin's shadow."

"When do you plan to leave?"

Lu Xingchen said softly, "About a month. I need to consolidate my Cultivation and climb the Heaven Burning Tower."

Gu Chen nodded slightly.

"Alright."

After bidding farewell to Gu Chen, Lu Xingchen and Yun Li strolled hand in hand through the Cangxuan Sect.

Yun Li said softly, "Xingchen, is the Xiao Yuxin that Sect Master mentioned the legendary fourth God of War of the Human Race? Did you obtain her Legacy?"

Lu Xingchen shook his head slightly: "It's not really a Legacy. I just obtained the weapon she once used, the immortal slaying sword."

Yun Li was a little puzzled: "immortal slaying sword? What a domineering name! I just wonder what its Rank is?"

Lu Xingchen said with a smile, "The so-called 'immortal slaying' means it can slay gods. This sword is a Divine Artifact."

Lu Xingchen had nothing to hide from his newly confirmed Dao Companion.

Hearing this, Yun Li was greatly surprised. She covered her mouth, her gaze filled with disbelief as she looked at Lu Xingchen.

"Oh my, a Divine Artifact! Even more powerful than a heaven-rank spirit tool! Xingchen, your luck is too good! No wonder you were able to defeat the Glazed Pure Fire."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Just a fluke. By the way, I'm leaving the Cangxuan Sect in a month. Do you want to come with me?"

Yun Li nodded heavily: "Of course! We just confirmed our relationship. I can't bear to leave you. Besides, following you will definitely lead to faster progress in Cultivation than staying in the Cangxuan Sect."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Alright, then prepare yourself. In a month, you'll come with me to Central State. My agreement with my master, it's time to fulfill it."

After saying goodbye to Yun Li, Lu Xingchen returned to his Immortal Cave.

Closing the door, he took out the black rock cauldron and Lin Yuan's corpse, preparing to refine an Earth Fiend Puppet.

Although his current strength was already approaching the Martial Ancestor Realm, it wasn't a bad thing to have more preparations.

It took him half a day, but Lu Xingchen successfully refined a Puppet with the Seven-Star Martial Emperor Realm, then left a Soul Imprint and put it into his Storage Ring.

After that, Lu Xingchen went to the Heaven Burning Tower.

The first time one defeats a guard, they receive a spiritual power enlightenment and double rewards. He had to take advantage of this.

Upon reaching the twenty-fifth floor, the guard here possessed the strength of a Five-Star Martial Emperor.

Although Lu Xingchen's Realm was only Five-Star Martial Emperor, his true combat power had already exceeded it.

In one minute, after dozens of exchanges, Lu Xingchen defeated the guard.

【Congratulations to the host for killing a Five-Star Martial Emperor, gaining 500,000 experience points and 500,000 exchange points!】

【Congratulations to the host for gaining 500,000 experience points!】

The guards on the twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh floors were easily defeated.

It wasn't until he fought the guard on the twenty-eighth floor that Lu Xingchen felt a hint of pressure.

But relying on the shadow sword's displacement skill and superb swordsmanship, Lu Xingchen still wore down and killed that guard.

However, the guard on the twenty-ninth floor was a bit troublesome. The Realm gap was too large, and its combat experience had also improved significantly.

Lu Xingchen fought it for half an hour but couldn't win, only able to rely on the shadow sword's displacement skill to avoid injury.

Noticing his fatigue, Lu Xingchen summoned his Fused Spirit Fire.

After the Purple Crystal Flame and Glazed Pure Fire fused, their power greatly increased. The flame was purplish-red, possessing the effect of burning battle Qi and Soul, making it quite formidable.

Relying on the Fused Spirit Fire, Lu Xingchen easily defeated the guard on the twenty-ninth floor.

After defeating the guard on the twenty-ninth floor, Lu Xingchen's Realm advanced to Six-Star Martial Emperor.

Then came the thirtieth floor, also the final floor of the Heaven Burning Tower.

The guard on this floor possessed the strength of a Ten-Star Martial Emperor.

In a hundred years, no Disciple of the Cangxuan Sect had ever reached the final floor.

Lu Xingchen not only reached it but also intended to challenge this Ten-Star Martial Emperor Realm guard.

The guard's strength was quite formidable, and its combat techniques were on par with Lu Xingchen, who had been trained by Long Chen.

But Lu Xingchen was even fiercer.

Of course, the main reason was the Fused Spirit Fire.

After an hour of intense fighting, Lu Xingchen used a fire lotus to pierce through the guard's chest.

The guard transformed into a stream of light and slowly dissipated, and a pure spiritual power merged into Lu Xingchen's body.

【Congratulations to the host for defeating a Ten-Star Martial Emperor, gaining one million experience points and one million exchange points!】

【Congratulations to the host for gaining one million experience points!】

Just then, the Heaven Burning Tower let out a roar.

Immediately, bells rang inside the tower.

The bells were deep and clear, resounding throughout the entire Cangxuan Sect, a total of nine chimes.

When the bells rang, all the Disciples of the Cangxuan Sect stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the Heaven Burning Tower.

"What's going on? The Heaven Burning Tower is ringing!"

"I know, I know! Whenever someone clears the Heaven Burning Tower, nine chimes will ring to announce it! But in a hundred years, no one in the Cangxuan Sect has ever been able to achieve this."

"How could they? It's simply too difficult! The guard on the last floor of the Heaven Burning Tower has the strength of a Ten-Star Martial Emperor. How could we young Disciples possibly pass?"

"Let alone us, even the Elders within the sect couldn't pass. The only one who could clear the Heaven Burning Tower would be Sect Master Gu Chen."

"But now the bells have rung, which means someone truly has accomplished this. Who could this person be?"

"It should be Saintess Yun Li. After all, Saint Lin Yuan died in the Greedy Wolf Secret Realm, and Yun Li is the top Disciple among us in the Cangxuan Sect. If she obtained an unparalleled Legacy in the Secret Realm, she might really be able to clear it."

"That's the only possibility."

Just as everyone was discussing, their spirit tokens suddenly lit up.

Everyone took out their spirit tokens to check, and there was only one message: "Congratulations to Inner Sect Disciple Lu Xingchen for clearing the Heaven Burning Tower! You will receive an additional reward!"

Upon seeing this message, everyone in the entire Cangxuan Sect exploded with shock.

Not only the Disciples, but even all the Elders of the Cangxuan Sect received this message.

For Lu Xingchen, everyone's hearts were filled with deep reverence and envy.
