I heard from Fourth Mother before that in the inner courtyard of the Clean Universe Sect, there is a spirit tower condensed from the remnant souls of previous generations of elders. According to the records of previous generations, the senior who created the Purple Lotus Devil Seed to dissolve the Purple Lotus Demon Body back then should have been the second generation Great Elder Dian Haorann of the Clean Universe Sect.

"So it's him?" So, you want to find a way to dispel the Blood Lotus Demonic Seed's death spell from Elder Dian's remnant soul? " A glimmer of hope suddenly lit up in Xue Yingying's heart.

"But …" With a quick thought, she understood the problem.

Let's not talk about whether Dian Haorann created a way to remove the death spell, even if he did, it would be very difficult to enter the tower.

The barrier around the Spirit Tower rejected all experts with Spirit Stage s and higher from entering. Shen Gong Qian couldn't enter, and neither could these few mothers and aunts. And entering the tower, would require at least a Building Essence level of cultivation to protect one's divine consciousness to prevent one from going crazy from being pressured by the powerful spirit tower.

Therefore, only the Clean Universe Sect disciples and other young people who had stopped at the origin realm had the chance to enter.

However, these weren't the crux of the problem. The most troublesome part was that the Spirit Tower could only be opened once every three years, and only one person could enter at a time.

It was precisely because of this that the spirit tower had already become the place to reward the first ranked disciple of the Clean Universe Sect for the three year grand examination to obtain the legacy of the seniors. Every time the spirit tower opened, it would become a grand occasion that attracted the attention of all the young practitioners in the entire Great New Dynasty. With so many powers eyeing the tower covetously, it was impossible for them to enter in private.

Even if it was the Rong Family, even if there was a relationship with Shen Gong Qian, they still wouldn't be able to do it.

What does it have to do with your son from Rong Family wanting to save them? On a normal day when he was free, he might even buy the money from his country's great general. However, there was only one time in three years, and it was enough for his faction's young talent to be reborn. How many would be willing to give it up?

What's more, this session's strength was the strongest. The person who had the most chance of winning the first place in the three years of the examination was one of the Four Great Families, Qiu Family Elder Sun, Qiu Buyu. Qiu Family and Rong Family have always been at odds with each other, so there was no way he would let go. On the contrary, if they had the chance to cause some trouble for the Rong Family, they would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity.

"Yi, don't even mention the aunt not letting you go to Clean Universe Sect, even if you go, in this period of six months, do you think it is possible to reach the strength to fight against Qiu Buyu? From what I know, he has already stayed at the ninth level of the Building Essence for one year, and with his aptitude, he could break through the Natal Opening Realm in a few months at any time. You just succeeded in Building Essence now, why is there such a difference, sigh … "

Xia Meilunang was silent for a moment. Xia Meilun's words were not without reason, although Demon Queen had enlightened him, allowing him to directly reach the Building Essence level, there were still eight levels between him and Qiu Buyu.

Eight levels. It was merely six months. Even if the other party was able to remain at the same level during this period of time, even if he inherited from his father, it would still be very difficult to surpass him. Not to mention the fact that he had a huge chance of breaking through the Natal Opening Realm!

The difference between these levels was like the difference between heaven and earth.

But could he have any other choice?

"Auntie, I still want to try." Yung Yi said firmly.

"I don't agree." Although Xia Meilun's tone was as gentle as usual, her attitude was even more resolute than his. It was as firm as her character.

The two determined people froze. The air in the antechamber froze. Even the fragrance of sandalwood, which was rising in spirals from the altar, seemed to freeze at this moment.

Only when a clear and melodious sound quietly sounded out did it break.

"Mom, how about I go find it for Yi?"

She was Third Sis Rong Miaoxin, of the six thousand gold coins from the Rong Family, Xia Meilun's second daughter. Amongst Yung Yi's six sisters, other than the eldest sister Yung Jing who had already entered the Spirit Tower, she was the only one who had the possibility of challenging Qiu Buyu to become the champion of this year's exam.

Because her cultivation was at the eighth level of the Building Essence.

A hint of surprise flashed through Xue Yingying's eyes. She pulled her hand over and stroked her palm. "Wonderful, thank you." Only you can do it. "However, I'm afraid this is going to be a waste of your luck."

As Yung Yi's mother, she was too embarrassed to ask her son to give up cultivating. That would be asking the whole family to take the risk for him, but if someone took the initiative to help, she would naturally cry from happiness.

Rong Miaoxin inherited her mother's straightforward personality. She pursed her lips into a smile and said, "Third Madam, why are you being so courteous? Yi's matter is our sister's matter. How can a little inheritance be more important than Yi's life? I'm just afraid that I might not be able to beat Qiu Buyu and cause Sanniang to be disappointed. "

Xue Yingying froze for a moment. She knew that her worry was not unreasonable. She then sighed, "Don't worry. It'll be alright if you have your heart."

Rong Yaner said seriously from the side, "Third Madam, don't worry. Third Sister will definitely win."

Everyone else also agreed. They discussed and settled the matter. Surprisingly, no one came to ask for Yung Yi's opinion.

Yung Yi could only smile wryly. With Third Sister taking the initiative, it would be even more difficult to convince the aunt to allow him to enter Clean Universe Sect to cultivate. But must third sister have a much bigger chance than him?

He knew that the two of them had fought in the Clean Universe Sect before. Rong Miaoxin's cultivation and moves were completely suppressed by Qiu Buyu, she was a battle maniac, and even if she fought opponents with similar cultivation levels, she could easily crush them, let alone those with a superior cultivation level.

In half a year, would this gap be even smaller, or even larger?

Yung Yi leaned towards the latter.

Although his Building Essence had just been successful, according to Demon Queen's explanation, his innate talent seemed to be even better than his father's. Then, the chances of him beating Qiu Buyu in half a year might be higher.

Only, under Xia Meilun's forceful lead, he didn't have the chance to speak. The requirements to enter the Clean Universe Sect were put on hold, and the family's resources would all be focused on Rong Miaoxin. Once again, Yung Yi became an idler.

Ten days later, the new emperor Liu Xiong came out of seclusion. Rong Cheng went to meet him, and Yung Yi left with him.

This was the first time in his life that he'd entered the Imperial City inner court.

Compared to the towering palace walls and layers of interiors that could be seen from far away, the scenery of this inner hall was much more exquisite. Behind the red door, white water extended, jade bridge nine curves, early spring's willow silk gently swayed with the wind, softly brushing against the surface of the water.

As they made their way across the bridge, two golden swallows dropped to the ground. They tapped lightly on the pond in front of them, and ripples of water began to spread out.

Looking at the disappearing Yan Ying, Rong Cheng seemed to have been touched by something and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Yi, do you still hate dad?"

He did not look back. There was a hint of hesitation and apprehension in his voice.

Yung Yi walked behind him. Looking at his father's back, he could not help but feel a bit sad. Although his father's stature was still majestic, after this incident, his mental state had clearly become more haggard. Even his aura was not as grand as before.

"Resentment? How is that possible? " He knew that his father would be depressed, and that he would ask him about it sooner or later. At this moment, he said without the slightest hesitation, "If father doesn't give birth to me, I won't even have a day to live. Now, being able to happily live with father, mother, and sisters for more than ten years is already enough for me. I don't have the heart to care about anything else. "

"You, really think so?" Rong Cheng was stunned for a moment. He turned his head and looked at his son. On his son's face, there was a calm smile. Rong Cheng wanted to say something but hesitated. He nodded his head, sighed and continued walking forward.

The Hall of Longevity, which was painted a crimson red, was situated on the surface of the lake. It was where the Emperor usually stayed. It was also where he received most of the foreign guests who were close to him.

Seeing the arrival of the Rong Family father and son, the internal supervisor, Fu Sheng, immediately announced their names loudly. After Liu Xiong had allowed them to enter, he led them inside the hall, and just as he was about to enter, he suddenly whispered into Rong Cheng's ear: "Just now, Minister Qiu came by, and after staying for less than an hour, he vaguely mentioned the name of the great general. When he saw His Majesty's expression when he left, he seemed displeased."

Qiu Shangshu was the patriarch of Qiu Family, grandfather of Qiu Buyu, Qiu Fanshan. Rong Cheng's heart trembled, but his expression did not change. He only replied softly, "Thank you, Eunuch Fu." He then walked in.

Just as Yung Yi was about to follow, Fu Sheng smiled and said, "Young master Rong, please wait for a moment. His majesty has ordered us to meet with the general alone. That's the location of His Majesty's library. I presume it would treat Young Master with kindness. "

Yung Yi exchanged a glance with his father. Seeing his father nodding, he smiled at Fu Sheng and said, "That relationship is good. The palace's collection is definitely much richer than ours."

The Leisure Pavilion was separated from the Hall of Longevity by a palace wall. Looking at it from the outside, it didn't seem that big. The inner space was at least ten times bigger than what he could see from the outside.

Yung Yi knew that this must be the effect of some kind of spatial formation.

The young eunuch who was leading the way led him to the door, and then left by himself, closing the door behind him. The surroundings immediately quieted down. It was like closing the door to a world.

Yung Yi really liked this kind of silence, just like how he liked to read. It was an instinct, a natural tendency.

There were no divisions within the building, only a series of intersecting shelves that formed a few relatively independent spaces.

Poetry books, martial arts scrolls, martial arts techniques, and even books that had different wills were all categorized. It was clear at a glance.

Yung Yi's gaze swept all the way over. Sometimes, he would casually pick up a book, flip through a few pages, and put it back. Even though the collection in the palace far surpassed the Rong Family, with his current state of mind, if it weren't for the information related to the Purple Lotus Devil Seed, it would have been difficult for even a high level technique or martial skill to attract his attention.

Thus, martial skills of the fifth level, such as the《 Heaven's Path Break》 and the《 Mysterious Sword Finger》, that would attract the envy of countless people would be easily let go no matter where they were placed.

On the contrary, he spent more time on the strange books about the Wilderness.

Yung Yi walked deeper and deeper as he flipped through the books. The shelves in the inner layer were beginning to have fewer books, and instead had a few weapons, mechanisms and the like, as well as a lot of Talisman Pattern s with light flames on them.

Yung Yi had gotten used to seeing all kinds of Talisman Pattern from Fourth Mother's place since he was young. He thought that he had seen enough of them, but he had never seen any of the Talisman Pattern here. Furthermore, from the complexity of the Talisman Pattern to the energy contained within, the two were not on the same level.

"Could these be the legendary level eight Talisman Pattern?"
