Chen Jingzhai was still willing to give pointers to well-mannered disciples. Therefore, after the jade token fell into the fish eyes, Chen Jingzhai did not make a move at first.
“Ha!”
Fang Qingshan shouted enthusiastically, and a cyan light burst out from his body. The light was extremely dazzling. It was initially a little bright, but it quickly condensed. Wisps of light condensed into the shadow of an ancient cyan tower.
The ancient tower had seven floors. It was angular, but each floor was not demarcated clearly. The higher you went, the more hazy and illusory it became. Only the first floor could be seen clearly. It was as if it really existed, and there was a plaque on it.
The plaque read, Cyan Mountain Tower.
At this moment, Fang Qingshan looked a little bloated, as if he had gained weight. His originally loose robes were stretched out. He exuded a valiant aura, and the veins around his eyes bulged.
Chen Jingzhai’s expression was calm. Seeing this situation, he casually waved his sleeve.
A water spear was sent flying with a flick of his sleeve. The speed of the water spear was not fast, but it spun and gave off an icy cold chill. The spear transformed into an ice spear in midair.
Fang Qingshan did not dodge the incoming spear. Instead, his fist shot out and aimed steadily.
[Bang!]
His fist struck the point of the spear directly. The abundant and condensed power instantly shattered the spear. However, the cold air also spread and wrapped around his fist. In the blink of an eye, his fist and arm were encased in ice. Some thin ice cubes were created and even continued to spread.
“Turn!” Fang Qingshan roared in a low voice and stepped sideways, stomping his left and right feet on the ground. He twisted his waist in a highly barbaric manner.
The Cyan Mountain Tower phantom that covered his body spun quickly as he shouted. As the cyan rays of dawn fell, they gently swept away the cold air and the remaining ice on his hand.
“Not bad!” Chen Jingzhai’s eyes lit up as he praised Fang Qingshan.
Only then did he seem to rouse himself. He formed his fingers into a sword and tapped lightly. A visibly sharp golden aura shot out.
Fang Qingshan’s pupils constricted as he stretched out his hands and slapped the ground. He dropped his hands to the ground and held still. The spinning shadow of the Cyan Mountain Tower suddenly expanded.
A wave of air spread over. The increase in pressure directly blocked the sharpness of the Cyan Mountain Tower. The Cyan Mountain Tower appeared to be unscathed. However, Chen Jingzhai’s attack was not that simple.
“Scatter!” Chen Jingzhai waved his sleeves and commanded. The sharp golden aura dissipated into nothingness.
Fang Qingshan did not heave a sigh of relief. Instead, his expression was solemn. His body’s instincts had sensed danger and were warning him. This made his temples throb slightly, and his blood rushed in alarm. The spiritual power in his body quickly circulated, and the Cyan Mountain Tower became a little brighter.
He took a deep breath, gathering strength in his fist. Then, he suddenly threw a punch at Chen Jingzhai.
“Fall!” Chen Jingzhai spoke calmly.
There was a clang, like a sharp sword being drawn. Then, the sound of air being torn apart spread.
A golden light fell from the sky, hitting the top of Cyan Mountain Tower. The seven-story Cyan Mountain Tower dissipated layer by layer. The sharp aura was like a hanging cloud that continuously attacked Fang Qingshan. In the end, there was only one floor left.
As for Fang Qingshan, he was half-kneeling on the ground, unable to withstand the force of the sharpness. The pure force dissipated before it even approached Chen Jingzhai.
Almost immediately, the golden light transformed into a golden sword. The tip of the sword landed on Fang Qingshan’s head. With just a slight turn, it could behead Fang Qingshan.
“The Divine Tower lineage cultivates the Taoism body. It’s indeed not bad for you to be able to cultivate your divine tower phantom at the Beginning Foundation Plane. However, it’s too superficial. The most important thing to know about a tower is its base and foundation. The stronger the tower, the more layers it can hold. It also has the power to suppress.
“Going forward, you don’t have to care how many floors are in your divine tower. Instead, you should constantly refine your spiritual power and stabilize your foundation.
“When your seven-story tower becomes three-stories and gives birth to the power of suppression, your cultivation will be considered successful.
“And once your Cyan Mountain Tower becomes one-story, you will be qualified to break through to the Golden Core Plane!” Chen Jingzhai said calmly.
Although Master-Uncle was cool and reserved, he would still generously dole out pointers as long as the other party did not anger or offend him. Moreover, Zhou Yuanhao had visited Tianyahai Pavilion many times and had also exchanged cultivation methods of the Divine Tower lineage with Chen Jingzhai.
Chen Jingzhai could still figure out the key points. Not to mention, when it came to those who were weak or inferior, Chen Jingzhai could use his talent to see through their weaknesses. For example, although Fang Qingshan was also from Divine Tower Peak, he was still too young and could not compare to Zhou Yuanhao. But, on the other hand, he was not too bad and had potential. If he honed his cultivation well, he would become capable.
“Thank you for your guidance, Master-Uncle. Qingshan admits defeat!” Fang Qingshan cupped his hands.
His eyes were filled with gratitude. He did not have a master to guide him. After entering the inner sect, he cultivated on his own. If he wanted to seek guidance from a Golden Core Sage, he would have to spend spiritual stones. A word of guidance was very rare to a person like him, who did not have cultivation talent.
Chen Jingzhai’s words made him comprehend the path ahead. He would remember this kindness.
Then, his jade token emitted a light that enveloped his entire body. An instant later, he was teleported to his position.
Chen Jingzhai also held the jade token and appeared in the first seat.
Five minutes later, a new battle appeared on the Eight Trigrams Platform.
Hongluan Peak.
Inside Xuanming Cave.
Pearl sat on a rock in the cavern, swinging her short legs and looking at the battle forum in the Sea of Clouds.
