Could it be that another cultivator has surpassed him and entered the sixth floor's difficult passageway?
Who could it be? Fantian Wuxing? Xiao Yihan? Lin Zihuan from the second floor of the Grand Hall? Or perhaps some other famous cultivator?
Zhao thought for a moment and didn't think much about it.
For he had already shifted his gaze from the arches to that row of squares on the central part of the great hall which concerned him more.
There are only ten grids in total, of which seven have already been opened and restricted.
In other words, from ancient times to the present, there have only been eight practitioners who have reached the Congealing Dan stage and arrived at this place, including Zhao Di.
Zhao Di looked at the Tianxuan Order in his hand, and after killing the ghost ape, it had returned to normal. Now he could use this order to open a square forbidden area and obtain a treasure!
There are only ten treasures in this layer, and they are absolutely different from the fifth layer's trial difficulty!
"If it were a top-notch skill that I could cultivate myself!" Zhao thought silently to himself.
With great anticipation, even with a hint of excitement, Zhao Di activated the Heaven Command in his hand. The latter shot out a stream of spiritual light onto one of the square grids' restrictive spiritual lights. After emitting a dazzling flash of light, the restrictive spiritual light disappeared, revealing a jade box within the grid.
An ordinary, palm-sized, square jade box with no seal or prohibition symbol on it, Zhao Di felt a little disappointed.
With a complex mood, Zhao Di lightly opened the jade box. The inside of the lid was engraved with the three ancient characters "Golden Silk Armor". Inside the jade box lay a neatly folded and radiant golden silk garment.
Zhao Di took out the silk clothes from the jade box, and with a light shake, it unfolded its full shape, which was an ordinary-sized golden silk vest. Under Zhao Di's careful touch, he felt that it was soft to the touch, fine in texture, and had a pretty good feel to it, and it also had a few familiar feelings, as if he had come into contact with this material somewhere before.
"Soul Imprint Book!" Zhao Di suddenly remembered this treasure and excitedly muttered: "Could it be that this is made from the golden silk spat out by the Golden Silk Silkworm King, woven into a golden silk armor? If so, I'm afraid the defensive capabilities of this treasure will be extremely terrifying!"
Just give it a try and you'll know!
Zhao took out the golden knife treasure obtained in the fifth layer of the Grand Hall, and after offering it up, it transformed into a several-meter-long golden knife. He then tossed the golden silk armor into the air, and with a fierce swing of the golden knife, he chopped it down mercilessly.
The golden sword and the silk armor touched each other, without a sound or a whisper.
Zhao took back the golden armor and looked at it, but there was no trace left on it.
Zhao was overjoyed, and indeed it was a top-grade defensive treasure! Although he didn't get the martial arts manual he wanted most, having such a precious treasure made him feel that the fifth layer's great war spoils were worth it.
After studying for a while, Zhao Di found that this golden silk armor can be worn close to the body to protect the chest and back, and it can also be taken out and used as a defensive treasure that can be enlarged or shrunk at will.
Delighted at the sight, Zhao Di shed his scale armor and put on a suit of golden silk armor underneath, then wore an ordinary purple long gown over it. Then Zhao Di tried the other two restricted squares, but the restrictions were still unbreakable, so he gave up trying to be clever without spending too much thought on it.
Zhao Di looked at the remaining two arch doors and his face showed a thoughtful expression.
The fifth level's risk is already extremely high, if it weren't for his life-saving treasure being able to restrain the evil ghost's path, whether he can stand here safely now is hard to say. The sixth level's difficulty will definitely be even higher, and there may even be an even more frightening threat present.
But as long as you pass this difficult level, you can reach the great hall of the seventh layer, and the heavy treasure of Qianji's Gongfa must be here!
It is said that this tower has always had only seven levels, and no one has ever heard of any higher levels.
After a moment's thought, Zhao Di decided to take the risk and make a dash for it! He didn't think he'd be so unlucky as to run into another powerful enemy who could stop him from using the Tongtian Command again.
Cultivating immortality is originally a matter of nine deaths and one life, how can you not dare to take any risk in the face of great opportunities!
Zhao Di ordered You Ruo to set up a miniature concealment array right here, and he sat in the middle of it, meditating for a while. The fifth layer's battle had taken a toll on him. With the array's protection, if anyone appeared on this layer, he could retrieve the high-grade spirit stone before his opponent noticed anything.
Two hours later, no other monks came, Zhao Di put away the formation and spirit stone, and flashed into one of the archways without hesitation.
As soon as he entered the archway, the Tongtian Order in Zhao Di's hand lit up another light point, recording his time for passing the level.
The time spent in the main hall is not included in the time limit for passing the levels, which is also why Zhao Di meditated and rested before passing the levels, with the purpose of not delaying the opportunity to pass the levels and ensuring his spiritual energy was full.
Of course, you can't stay in the Grand Hall for too long either. It's said that if you stay in all the Grand Halls for a total of twelve hours without passing through a level, you'll be kicked out of the tower by the Heavenly Tower's ban.
It has been five days and nights since Zhao Di and others entered the Tongtian Tower, almost all the cultivators have returned to the foreign star, occasionally some cultivators who lost their tracks after entering the tower are generally defaulted to have died unexpectedly in the Tongtian Tower.
But what has been most intriguing to everyone is that the intangible and shapeless thing has never been seen by anyone, and this tower is still rotating in the sky above this sea area, emitting dazzling golden light.
"The Tongtian Tower has not yet disappeared, how can the formless phantom pass the sixth level!" Under the Tongtian Tower, Weizichou, who had been unwilling to leave this place, stood together with his Tian Shen corpse, staring blankly at the seven-story pagoda above, with a hundred emotions tangled in his heart.
"Yes, his strength is indeed far superior to ours!" Not far away, the Blue Demon of the Tianmo Sect was also staring blankly at the Tower of Heaven, with a hint of envy and discontent in his tone, perhaps even a hint of helplessness!
As soon as Zhao entered the sixth level, he felt a sudden brightness before his eyes. The surroundings were filled with dazzling lights of various colors, and fantastical creatures such as birds, insects, and beasts appeared, transforming into a kaleidoscope of colors that left one's eyes reeling in confusion at first glance.
"Is it an illusion array again?" Zhao Di discovered that he was currently in the middle of a spell array. To find a way out, he had to break through the illusion array in front of him first. Zhao Di simply focused his mind and looked around at the dazzling multicolored spiritual lights, but somehow felt a stinging sensation in his eyes, and his head felt dizzy and uncomfortable.
He hastily circulated the "Mind Divine Incantation" and only then did the abnormality of his divine sense disappear.
"Not bad! This is a famous fantasy array from ancient times, with a very vivid name, called the Five Light Ten Color Array." Yu Rou flashed out and smiled, saying, her tone full of pride. "This array method mainly uses fantasy, its defensive power is not bad, and it also comes with an attack against human cultivators' divine sense, but with Master's powerful divine sense and profound skills, naturally there's no need to worry."
"Listening to you talk about it, it seems like you're very familiar with this formation. In that case, let's leave the task of breaking through it to you!" Zhao Di said with a hint of a smile.
"Don't worry, Master! The array method book given by the mistress has a detailed explanation of this array." After speaking, You Ruo suddenly realized that she had mentioned Yun Mengli and hastily glanced at Zhao Di to see if it had triggered his emotions.
Zhao Di just smiled faintly and didn't say much.
She held a crystal orb as large as her fist in her hand, pacing back and forth within the spell formation, intently watching the changes of the crystal orb.
This crystal bead was also one of Yun Mengli's treasured possessions left behind, and Zhao Di couldn't help but let out a soft sigh upon seeing it.
"After a faint scent of incense, You Ruo excitedly said: 'Found it! The Array Eye is right here!'"
Yu Rou stood still in a certain place within the formation, took out a pile of array flags from Zhao Di's storage ring, and set them up in the formation with a "brush brush" sound. In an instant, she had laid down a not particularly complex formation.
"Breaking through the array with an array! It's indeed Dream Lili's ultimate move." Zhao Di saw this scene and recalled that time when he went to the secret mansion on the deserted island with Yun Meng Lili, thus forming a deep bond between them. His mind was momentarily dazed.
At this time, You Ruo had already set up the formation and lightly tapped the flying disc in his hand. The latter emitted a white light that hit the center of the formation laid down by You Ruo. The formation let out a humming sound, and in an instant, it flashed out a dazzling white light pillar, about 3-4 zhang long and 4-5 chi thick.
Under the faintly discernible aura, this extremely thick white light struck a certain part of the "Five Lights Ten Colors Array". After a moment, a black hole the size of a fist suddenly appeared at that location, without any spiritual light flowing out.
As Yu Rou continued to urge the power of the law array, white light continuously poured into the black hole, making it bigger and bigger. Before long, it was as big as a foot.
"Master, strike the attack at this black hole, and it will be broken in no time." A faint voice reminded him, calling back a wisp of consciousness that had fallen into Zhao's memories.
Zhao Di responded with a sound, spewing out the Meng Li sword, and slashed towards the black hole in a chaotic manner. Countless purple sword lights surged towards the black hole.
These attacks disappeared silently after entering the black hole, and only the volume of the black hole continued to increase.
After Zhao Di chopped and hacked for a while, the Su surname summoned dozens of puppets, which used their spiritual tools to launch a fierce attack on the black hole.
"This five-colored array is surprisingly resilient, it should have collapsed by now according to normal reasoning!" As the diameter of the black hole had already reached four or five feet wide, and the surrounding colorful spiritual lights were gradually dimming, but this array still hadn't broken. Yu Rou pouted her small mouth and furrowed her brow, saying:
Half a time later, under the puppet's relentless bombardment, the diameter of the black hole reached about ten feet, and it finally showed signs of collapse and disintegration, turning into pieces of colorful spiritual light, flashing suddenly before dispersing.
The grand array was broken, and the surrounding brilliant lights were gone. At this time, Zhao Di discovered that he was actually in a cloud of flowing light and color. Unbeknownst to him, there were tiny clouds floating around him, drifting back and forth.
"Chain Formation Array! It's actually so brilliant!" You Ruo exclaimed in a shocked tone, hardly daring to believe it.
