Outside the cave, the Spirit Sect magical beast was using his strong body to ram into the cave. The cave trembled slightly, as if it could collapse at any time.

Bai Chen stared at the Three Colored Snow Lotus Grass in his hand with a complicated feeling in his heart. He did not know what to do; this Three Colored Snow Lotus Grass was not comparable to the Dan Ink Lotus. If he were to swallow it all, even if Bai Chen had the cultivation level of the Spirit Sect, he would still be in danger.

"Brother, it seems like today we brothers won't be able to escape this calamity. Later, I will rush out to tie that beast up. You should take this opportunity to leave. If you can live, then so be it." He even thought of the scene where he was being torn apart by a magical beast.

When Bai Chen heard this, he looked outside the cave, only to see a flash of viciousness in his eyes.

It didn't matter. He would die anyway, so he might as well risk it all!

With this firm resolution in his heart, Bai Chen did not care about anything else and directly threw the Three Colored Snow Lotus Grass into his mouth.

"Gulp!"

Bai Chen's throat rolled and he swallowed the Three Colored Snow Lotus Grass into his stomach. The moment the spiritual medicine entered his body, a strong wave of spiritual energy exploded out from Bai Chen's body.

This Spiritual Energy was way too powerful. It had already far surpassed the limits of what Bai Chen could bear. It was countless times stronger than the Ink Lotus he had swallowed earlier.

"AHH!"

Under this uncontrollable spiritual energy, Bai Chen felt an intense pain in his body. He had a twisted expression on his face, as if he was in extreme pain and was rolling on the ground.

"Brother, brother, how are you? How can you be so reckless? Swallowing this medicine alive will cause people to die!"

Yan Le looked at Bai Chen who was rolling on the ground in pain and panic. He had just personally seen Bai Chen swallow the entire Three Colored Snow Lotus Grass. The Spiritual Energy contained within this level of elixir was sufficient to cause a High Rank Spirit Master's body to explode.

Bai Chen groaned in pain. However, he also felt that the pain in his body was gradually weakening. He could feel that the violent Spiritual Energy was being absorbed by the Echelon Tower within his consciousness.

Feeling this situation, Bai Chen was secretly delighted. Seems like he had guessed correctly, just like last time, even the elixir's powerful spiritual energy would be absorbed by the Pagoda after entering his body.

However, although his spiritual energy was constantly being absorbed by the array tower, due to the amount of spiritual energy it contained, it couldn't be completely absorbed in an instant. Thus, Bai Chen had to bear the damage that the violent spiritual energy caused to his body.

This kind of pain was extremely hard to bear, and even a body practitioner like Bai Chen might not be able to withstand it. In the end, he was already in so much pain that his consciousness became muddled.

At this moment, in Bai Chen's sea of rocks, his Spiritual Sense had reached the first level of the Echelon Tower. The Spiritual Energy that he had absorbed was gathered here like a haze.

He hadn't thought that the spirit power of the Three Colored Snow Lotus Grass would be so strong that it could be seen with the naked eye.

He had tried going up the stairs before, but the first step had drained nearly a third of his spiritual energy. Now that there was so much spiritual energy in the array tower, Bai Chen wanted to see if he could open the second floor.

With that thought in mind, Bai Chen directly walked up the stairs to the second floor. With a single step, he caused a large amount of the spiritual energy floating in the first floor to disappear.

As the first step fell, the second step, the third step ?

When all of his spiritual energy had been consumed, the second floor of the Anchor Tower erupted with a blinding light. Following that, a powerful suction force erupted from the second floor and sucked Bai Chen's spiritual sense in.

The second floor's space looked no different from the first floor. Apart from the larger area of the first floor, it was almost all the same. In the middle of the second floor was a jade tablet that was the height of a person.

This situation was exactly the same as when he had opened the first floor. The same space, the same scenery, even the same jade tablet. The only difference was that the name of the hall had been changed.

The second floor: Spirit Channeling Hall!

The Spirit Channeling Hall opened up meridians, and spirit power entered his body!

The moment the spiritual energy entered his body, Bai Chen felt as if his heart was filled with thousands of waves. It had been four years since the appearance of this tower, and there had been no more spiritual energy flow in his body.

Regardless of whether it was the Spiritual Energy he refined or the Spiritual Energy he swallowed, all of that Spiritual Energy was absorbed by the tower after entering his body. However, with the activation of the second level of the tower, the Spiritual Energy could circulate within Bai Chen's body again.

After completing the beginner mission, his physical body and spirit energy had both reached the beginner level Spirit Master level and he was rewarded with 500 Spirit Stones!

Five hundred Spirit Stones suddenly appeared in front of Bai Chen, causing a fiery fire to appear in his eyes. Five hundred Spirit Stones, he had never seen this much in his entire life, plus now that he had broken through to the early stage of Spirit Master, his body could already circulate his spirit energy.

Oh right, Big Brother Yan!

Before the smile on Bai Chen's face could fully spread out, he suddenly thought of Yan Le. Then, he hurriedly withdrew his spiritual sense from his sea of consciousness and returned to the real world.

"Brother, please wake up!"

In the real world, Yan Le was shaking Bai Chen. Bai Chen, who was rolling on the floor a moment ago, suddenly stopped moving. This truly frightened Yan Le.

Bai Chen's brows furrowed slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. The moment he regained his vision, he saw Yan Le's face looking as if it wanted nothing more than to land on his own.

"Bro, that's great. You're finally awake. Just now, you suddenly stopped moving. I thought something had happened to you."

Seeing that Bai Chen had woken up, Yan Le heaved a sigh of relief.

Only after hearing this did Bai Chen come to a realization. So many things that he had experienced in his sea of consciousness had all happened in just a split-second.

"Bam!"

With a sudden loud sound, Bai Chen was about to say something when he saw half of the Spirit Sect's magical beasts squeeze into the cave.

I almost forgot about this guy!

Bai Chen thought to himself.

"Brother, it's good that you've woken up. I'll go block this beast. If you have the chance, run away immediately!"

Yan Le also reacted. His eyes were calm as he looked at the demonic beast desperately trying to squeeze into the cave. He could tell that Yan Le was already prepared to die. If he were to die with the two of them, at least one of them would survive if he stopped the demonic beast.

A wave of warmth flowed through Bai Chen's heart. For Yan Le to be able to help him to such an extent was already not an easy feat. At the very least, he was treated as a brother. This moved Bai Chen.

"Big Brother Yan, wait a moment."

Just as Yan Le stood up and was about to go for a fight to the death, Bai Chen hastily pulled him back. He took out five hundred spirit stones from the tower and said, "There are five hundred spirit stones here. Big Brother Yan, why don't you use them to break through to the Spirit Sect realm before it's too late!"

A total of five hundred spirit stones were piled up together, causing even Yan Le to be dumbfounded. He didn't see any spatial rings on Bai Chen's hands. Where did he get so many spirit stones from?!

Although Yan Le was shocked by Bai Chen's methods, he knew that now was not the time to think about these things. If that Spirit Sect magical beast came in, he and Bai Chen would have no way out.

"Okay, brother, wait for me for a moment. When I break through to the Spirit Sect, I will personally chop this beast!"

As Yan Le spoke, he sat down cross-legged beside the pile of spirit stones. He had already started to absorb the spirit energy from the spirit stones into his body in preparation for a breakthrough.

Under normal circumstances, the amount of Spiritual Energy that could be absorbed with 500 Spirit Stones was not enough. However, Yan Le was different, he had already reached the peak of the High Spirit Master Realm and was only one step away from the Spirit Sect. These 500 Spirit Stones were just enough for him to make up for his last leg.

Yan Le sat down and began to attempt to enter the Spirit Sect while Bai Chen stood to the side to protect him. During this period of time, the magical beasts outside had already become larger and larger, to the point where half their bodies could be squeezed in.

Bai Chen could only stand to the side and protect Yan Le while worrying about the passing of time. Although it was only a small amount of time, in Bai Chen's eyes, it was as if a long time had passed. He was always worried that the Spirit Sect magical beasts would suddenly break into the cave.

"This won't do, I can't continue like this!"

Bai Chen furrowed his brows as he thought to himself. He didn't know how long Yan Le would take. If he let a magical beast in, it would undoubtedly be fatal.

In the end, after some hesitation, he picked up Yan Le's axe from the ground and rushed towards the cave entrance.

"Hah!"

Bai Chen gave a low shout as he used all his strength to swing his axe at the magical beast.

Although a Spirit Sect magical beast was strong, it was not strong enough to ignore the attacks of a beginner spirit practitioner. Seeing Bai Chen brandishing his axe to attack the magical beast, it instinctively retreated.

Bai Chen took advantage of the opportunity to exert strength through his legs, and quickly rushed out of the cave. Bai Chen did not dare to delay any further, and quickly ran in a specific direction.

"Hey, big guy, come chase me!"

While Bai Chen was fleeing to the side, he did not forget to provoke the Magic Beast. When the Magic Beast of the Spirit Sect saw this, a trace of human-like fury flashed across its eyes as it chased after Bai Chen.

The reason for taking such a risk was because he did not know how long it would take for Yan Le to break through to the Spirit Sect. If a magical beast came in before he woke up, the two of them would undoubtedly die.

Thus, after careful consideration, Bai Chen decided to stall for time by himself. Even though he knew that doing so would be dangerous, even if it would result in his own death, dying by himself was still better than dying by himself.

Even though he knew that a step forward would result in a precipitous cliff, Bai Chen still resolutely stepped forward!
