"Ssss!"
An unusual sound was like a flickering lightning as it repeatedly spread and appeared within the deep black hole. An instant later, the somewhat dim environment suddenly brightened. The temperature in the air also swiftly rose. An extremely frightening and ancient aura slowly surfaced from the black hole. Finally, it was like lightning that tore through the night as it surged out of the seemingly endless deep darkness.
Shen Yue's face stiffened as he stared at the cave entrance. Even with his mental fortitude, he was still frightened by this mysterious darkness!
At this moment, the space around two meters above the cave entrance had already descended into an extremely distorted state. Although the space was extremely distorted, one could not see anything with the naked eye. Other than the distorted space and the 'hiss' sound that repeatedly sounded, the entire region appeared a little strange because of this scene.
Beside him, Elder Liu's face was also extremely grave. He continuously pulled Shen Yue and retreated. When his eyes stared at the distorted space, a trace of fear flashed across them. Although he could not see what was there, he had been an Elder in the tower for so many years and had vaguely heard of some things. Hence, he knew just how terrifying the thing in the deep darkness was.
It was impossible to see with the naked eye, but Shen Yue's eyes, which were covered by the blue flames, could clearly see the terrifying thing that had emerged from the black hole. Immediately, her body, which was being dragged by Elder Liu, froze.
As Shen Yue's eyes that were filled with blue flames shot back, she saw that the thing that surged out from the endless darkness was a huge invisible fire python that was over ten meters thick, but she didn't know how long it was!
The fire python's entire body was wrapped in a somewhat distorted flame. It opened its huge mouth, and its fangs, which were as thick as Shen Yue's thigh, emitted a distorted ripple. A pair of enormous triangular eyes continuously shot out an invisible flame. Shen Yue was not unfamiliar with this flame, because he had suffered from this flame before. Of course, the wisp of invisible flame that had appeared in his heart earlier was undoubtedly like a firefly compared to the bright moon when compared to this giant python that seemed to be completely condensed from flames. Shen Yue did not doubt in the slightest that even if his own divine strength was comparable to an elite Dou Huang, he would likely turn into ashes if he were to touch the fire python's body.
The fire python carried a furious roar as it shot out from the darkness. However, just as it was about to reach five meters above the deep black hole, the surrounding space suddenly fluctuated. With the help of Cang Huo, Shen Yue was able to faintly discover that at this moment, the space around the black hole seemed to have strangely distorted and formed a spatial cage. Although the invisible fire python was powerful, it only caused the spatial cage to fluctuate for a moment when it collided with it. It did not have any other effect.
The fire python involuntarily became a little crazy after discovering that it had no hope of breaking through. Invisible flames were spat out from its huge mouth in all directions, repeatedly burning the spatial cage. Unfortunately, no matter how it burned, the spatial cage remained firmly standing!
The invisible fire python was finally exhausted after struggling wildly for a long while. It lifted its head and emitted a hiss that contained a furious emotion. After which, one could see that space was repeatedly distorted. The fire python once again turned invisible and returned to the deep hole in the darkness.
Following the disappearance of the fire python, the spatial cage gradually faded until it finally disappeared.
Elder Liu only let out a long sigh when he felt the temperature around him drop. He muttered,"That was close, but why did this thing suddenly wake up?”
Beside him, Shen Yue also gradually recovered from her shock. The pale flames in her eyes quickly disappeared as she said in a hoarse voice,"Elder Liu, what is that thing?”
Elder Liu recovered from the shock of Shen Yue's question. He looked at Shen Yue with a serious expression and said in a deep voice,"Don't tell anyone about what happened here. Originally, students are not allowed to go near the center of the tower. Today, I have neglected my duty. Fortunately, it is my turn to be on duty today.”
Seeing Elder Liu's serious expression, Shen Yue nodded and spread her hands innocently,"I didn't see anything. I just suddenly felt that the temperature here had increased by a lot.”
"It's naturally for the best if you didn't see it. There are some things that are better left unknown. In the future, you should also come here less often. Otherwise, if you were discovered, even the elders on duty would be implicated.”Elder Liu let out a sigh of relief. He did not doubt Shen Yue's words. After all, even he himself could not see that terrifying thing. He could only rely on the distortion of space to determine the shape of that invisible thing.
Shen Yue's expression involuntarily changed when he heard Elder Liu's serious words. He hurriedly nodded.
"Alright, let's go." Seeing Shen Yue nod his head, Elder Liu's expression eased a little. He once again glanced at the bottomless black hole with lingering fear before turning around and walking out.
Shen Yue nodded once more before following. Just as he was about to make a turn, he turned his head to look at the bottomless black hole that had already fallen into silence. He muttered in a low voice with some shock in his heart,"What exactly is that thing? That aura was too powerful. That spatial cage was also very abnormal. It actually did not have the slightest reaction under the destruction of that terrifying thing. This 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower' was indeed filled with mystery.
After leaving the central region, Elder Liu also recovered his previous calmness. He once again brought Shen Yue to stroll around the first level of the tower. Along the way, he would constantly tell Shen Yue about the rules of the tower and other things that he needed to pay attention to. He was so trivial that he was just like an ordinary old man.
Along the way, they would occasionally meet some students. When they saw Shen Yue, who was chatting happily with Elder Liu, they were all a little surprised. Due to the status and strength of these tower guardian elders, and their strict treatment of others, many students were respectful and fearful of them. Other than some older students who were quite strong, it was rare to see an elder treat a new student so politely.
The surprised gazes along the way allowed Shen Yue to understand the deterrence that Elder Liu possessed in this place. As the saying went, it was easier to do things with someone in the court. Now that he had just arrived, it was naturally best to be able to form some connections. Regardless of how great his potential was, he was at the very least only at the Dou Huang class. This kind of strength was really nothing worth praising in the eyes of those factions in the Central Plains and his own clan.
"Shen Yue, your Ling Shen has just been established. I suggest that when you enter the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower' to train, you temporarily do not go and snatch any high grade training rooms." Elder Liu walked to a certain place and suddenly smiled faintly when he saw that the human flow around him had become much smaller.
Shen Yue was startled when he heard this. He immediately nodded slightly. He indeed did not have such thoughts. He had just entered the Inner Academy, yet he wanted to occupy the best training ground. That would undoubtedly cause even more people to be dissatisfied with their 'Ling Shen.' It was likely that there would be factions that would forcefully chase them away the moment the group entered. Compared to those old factions, the current 'Ling Shen' was only a few Da Dou Shi like Hu Jia. The others did not have the strength to contend with them. In a battle between forces, just the few of them would undoubtedly not be able to achieve a reversal effect.
"Due to the rules of the tower, us tower guardian elders cannot interfere in the competition between students for cultivation rooms. Therefore, as long as no one dies, most of us will not interfere.”Elder Liu pondered for a moment and smiled."However, as long as your 'Ling Shen' is able to quickly produce an elite Dou Ling, you will have the qualification to enter a second rate faction within the Inner Academy. At that time, you will be able to participate in the fight for the training room. I think that with your potential, you should be able to do it very quickly.”
"A second-rate faction with an elite Dou Ling? If there was a Dou Huang, wouldn't it be a special class faction?”Shen Yue asked calmly.
"Ke ke, this is for sure. However, within the Inner Academy, those who possess the Dou Huang level are all those high level people who hold great power in their hands. He had never seen such a thing in the ordinary forces.”Elder Liu smiled, shook his head, and said.
Hearing this, Mystic Moon let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, she didn't have to reveal her true level. With Xun Er and the other two's talent, it would likely not take too long for them to reach the Dou Ling class. It seemed that the 'Ling Shen' would have to keep a low profile for a period of time in the future. As long as the three of them advanced to the Dou Ling class, everything would be fine. Before that, they could only quietly curl up.
While they were conversing, Shen Yue and Wu Hao had once again arrived at the entrance. At this place, Wu Hao had already woken up from his coma and was currently standing blankly on the spot. Only when he saw Shen Yue's figure did he heave a sigh of relief.
Shen Yue smiled at Elder Liu as she watched Wu Hao walk over with quick steps. She cupped her hands together and said,"Many thanks for Elder Liu's teachings. Let's stop here for today. In the future, when I have time, I will come and ask for your guidance.”
"Hehe, aren't you planning to cultivate here today?”Elder Liu asked with a smile.
"Lingshen has just been established. I still need to go back and help manage it.”Shen Yue smiled as she rejected Elder Liu's good intentions.
"Hmm, that's true. The new forces are very weak.”Elder Liu smiled and nodded. He did not insist. His gaze swept around him and said with a low smile,"The next time you bring people to the first floor to cultivate, I will find a good place for you to cultivate in an intermediate cultivation room.”
"There are good and bad cultivation rooms at the same level?”Hearing this, Shen Yue was slightly surprised.
" Haha, that's natural. It's just that these things are very difficult for ordinary students to discover. Only us, the tower guardian elders, understand." Elder Liu laughed complacently.
"If that's the case, I will have to thank Elder Liu." Shen Yue nodded her head in surprise. She once again cupped her hands towards Elder Liu. After which, she turned around to welcome Wu Hao and pulled him out of the arena.
Looking at the two of them disappearing from the tower's entrance, Elder Liu stroked his beard and muttered,"Heavenly Flame. It was really unexpected that the rise of the Inner Academy relied on that thing. Now, a little fellow who was not even twenty years old possessed such a strange thing by himself. Ugh, he was really a lucky fellow that caused one to be unable to help but feel jealous.”
