Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Generous Trial Tower Task Rewards

Though the youth in the blue robe was severely injured, as a trial apparition, he was essentially lifeless, and his facial expression remained unchanged.

Once again, he formed a spell with his hands, and his long sword chimed, thrusting in two different directions towards Lu Yi.

The fiercely surging sword qi caused Lu Yi’s body hair to stand on end instinctively, and his body vanished from its spot, dodging the long sword’s attack.

However, the long sword, like a shadow, relentlessly pursued, closely following behind Lu Yi.

Lu Yi turned around and slashed out two Sword Clouds, colliding with the long sword; amidst the clanging of metal, the long sword was sent flying.

Seizing this opportunity, Lu Yi charged towards the youth, continuously unleashing wave after wave of Sword Clouds.

The youth in the blue robe circulated Spiritual Energy throughout his body, summoning a long sword into his hand as well, where fierce and powerful golden sword light flowed, meeting the Sword Clouds.

After all, being a cultivator of the second level of Foundation Establishment, even if severely wounded, he still possessed some resistance.

Lu Yi and the youth in the blue robe flickered in their movements, while the roaring sounds of their battle echoed throughout the empty room, leaving deep marks all around due to the aftershocks.

The battle lasted for more than ten rounds before the youth in the blue robe was completely engulfed by the Sword Clouds and disappeared in a flash of white light.

Lu Yi landed, lightly exhaled a breath of stale air, and inwardly exclaimed how much more powerful a cultivator of the second level of Foundation Establishment was compared to one at the first level.

The previous cultivator at the first level of Foundation Establishment couldn’t even block a single one of his strikes.

His current opponent, at the very least, had managed to fight him for more than a dozen rounds.

Quite impressive indeed.

Lu Yi had also used a significant amount of his strength by now.

At the very least, he had pushed the White Cloud Sword Technique and White Cloud Skill of the Returning True Realm to their limits, and he had used his sword intent as well.

Given the current situation, if he did not use White Cloud Sword Technique and White Cloud Skill above level 7, he could probably only compete with a cultivator at the third level of Foundation Establishment, but whether he could defeat them was uncertain.

Though the rewards for climbing the Trial Tower were very generous, Lu Yi had no intention of using arts above level 7.

After all, Lu Yi was quite safe within the White Cloud Sect, but he could not possibly stay in one place forever.

Though not fond of dangers, Lu Yi did not wish to stay hidden in one place without ever stepping out to explore.

Not to mention, there were annual tasks from the sect that required him to leave as well.

Keeping some trump cards up his sleeve, to handle any dangers he might encounter later, seemed wise.

The rewards for tasks, after all, would not disappear in the future; there was no need to rush at the moment.

Lu Yi had set a rule for himself to use, at most, the arts of the Returning True Realm, that is, up to level 6, combined with his sword intent and his own cultivation.

He definitely wouldn’t use arts above level 7 unless it was necessary.

Lu Yi cleared his mind and once again set a task for himself internally, “I want to reach the 13th floor.”

[Task]

Reach the 13th floor of the Trial Tower

Reward: Three drops of Millennium Spirit Dew

Accept: Yes/No

How could Lu Yi possibly have a reason not to accept?

He happily accepted the task.

It goes without saying, the rewards for the Trial Tower tasks were incredibly generous—this was Millennium Spirit Dew! Far more powerful than the Centennial Spiritual Dew.

Having always cultivated using Centennial Spiritual Dew, Lu Yi could distinctly feel his talents improving gradually, and even when using the same level 9 White Cloud Qi Refining Art, the efficiency of his cultivation now was completely different from before.

If he used Millennium Spirit Dew, his talent would likely increase faster and he would also become stronger.

However, the amount of Millennium Spirit Dew was still too little. He had just received two drops for reaching the 12th floor, and with the current three drops, he had only five drops in total.

Even adding his previously stored Millennium Spirit Dew, that made just about ten drops.

Lu Yi’s goal was to cultivate with Millennium Spirit Dew every day in the future.

After accepting the task, Lu Yi stepped onto the 13th floor.

……

The moment Lu Yi ascended to the 13th floor, the Qi Cultivation Trial List outside underwent another change.

Lu Yi’s ranking shot directly to second place, with the first place being Donggong Ming Yue.

Seeing this scene, the disciples who were already discussing Lu Yi’s ranking fell silent once again.

Whether they were Direct Disciples, Core Disciples, or Inner Sect Disciples, at this moment, they all looked at the name “Lu Yi” on the Qi Cultivation Trial List.

Despite Lu Yi’s cultivation base lagging significantly behind disciples in the Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and even Nascent Soul Realms,

the fact that Lu Yi, who was merely at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, had defeated a cultivator at the Second Level Foundation Establishment in such a short time was truly astonishing.

Elder Xuan squinted his eyes and chuckled lightly, “It seems the White Cloud Sect is about to see the rise of a True Dragon.”

The other disciples were also discussing fervently.

“The 13th floor?! Damn it! Damn!!!”

“Junior Brother Lu Yi’s strength is just too formidable, isn’t it? He’s only at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer!”

“No wonder he was accepted as a Registered Disciple by the Ling Luo Peak Master; I am humbled by such talent and strength.” A disciple from Spirit Wind Peak chuckled bitterly and shook his head slightly.

Nangong Moyu glanced at the silent Wang Tianzun beside her and said with a smile, “What do you think? My junior brother is quite something, right?”

Wang Tianzun’s mouth twitched fiercely, and he glanced at Nangong Moyu, “…No matter how strong Lu Yi is, he’s your junior brother, not you. What does it have to do with you?”

Nangong Moyu grinned smugly, “Junior Brother Lu Yi and I are both disciples of Ling Luo Peak, connected by fate. Naturally, we’ll have many opportunities to interact in the future, and I’ll be able to befriend Junior Brother Lu Yi. Those from other peaks will not have it as convenient as us.”

Wang Tianzun snorted coldly, turned his mouth away, and did not refute.

Of course, cultivators were keen to befriend someone with such frightening talent as Lu Yi.

Watching the Trial List, his gaze flickered and he murmured softly, “Seeing Lu Yi climb the Trial List reminds me of Senior Sister Liu Ningshuang from those days.”

Nangong Moyu also fell silent for a while before softly sighing, “Senior Sister Liu Ningshuang was indeed exceptionally talented. If nothing unexpected happens, Junior Brother Lu is bound to become famous throughout the Eastern Domain.”

While speaking, both Nangong Moyu and Heavenly King revealed looks of envy; all were young people, who wouldn’t want to become a prodigy and be known everywhere?

At this moment, Bai Yulong and Jiang Fan, among others, fell silent.

Lin Wan’er exhaled and smiled helplessly, looking at the Trial List, “Junior Brother Lu is truly amazing. After today, probably none of the disciples from the White Cloud Sect will not know of him, right?”

Even the ordinarily calm Jiang Fan showed a shocked expression at this moment, saying, “The strength Junior Brother Lu Yi has shown far exceeded my imagination.”

Bai Yulong, looking at the Trial List, spoke, “What do you guys think, can Junior Brother Lu surpass Senior Sister Donggong Ming Yue to become number one?”

In the entire Qi Cultivation Trial List, there were still a few Inner Sect Disciples who had surpassed the 11th floor; naturally, those who entered the Inner Sect within the Qi Cultivation Realm were somewhat capable.

However, the number who reached the 12th floor was only a few, and up till now, only Donggong Ming Yue had reached the 13th floor, and now there was Lu Yi as well.

Now that both of them were on the 13th floor, it was hard to say who was stronger or weaker.

Bai Yulong’s thoughts were also what many other disciples present were thinking. Everyone looked at the Qi Cultivation Trial List, curious as to which of these two fellow disciples, Lu Yi and Donggong Ming Yue, would become this month’s top ranker in the Trial Tower.
