Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 438 Bubbles
These demigods should know that their divine script abilities are very strong, perhaps even surpassing those of some masters, but they did not calculate the exact extent of their divine script abilities.

They probably just thought that even the top divine script masters in the Demon World could pass the exam if they went in.

However, their level of cultivation was too high, and they couldn't get in.

Zhou Leng thought about it again and realized that these demigods' opinions weren't entirely wrong; his own divine script level wasn't that strong.

It's only at a preschool level.

Just then, some demigods looked up, their gazes piercing through the thick gate and landing on the outside of the Great Demon Spirit Tower.

Two groups of uninvited guests arrived outside the Great Demon Tower.

One group consists of members of the Ice and Snow Cult, while another group consists of members of the Three Towers who reported Zhou Leng.

The demigods did not speak, but communicated with each other using their mental powers before making a decision.

Invite the Ice and Snow Cult to the side hall and stall them for now.

As for those who reported Zhou Leng for losing the Ancient Spirit Path trial, their rankings were canceled, their demon spirits were banned, and they were thrown into the monster breeding farm to shovel manure for three years.

Those who were born with this knowledge included the disciples and even descendants of the demigods present.

Not a single demigod cared.

Silence fell outside the Great Demon Tower, and the demigods' gazes returned to Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng suddenly felt a stinging sensation on his skin.

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Zhou Leng said, "In the world of demons, justice and kindness shine brightly, and the spirit of fairness and truth never fades. I believe that you respected demigod masters will give me a fair and just result."

The demigod could easily see through the kid's cunning scheme.

After a brief discussion, the demigods had a magic master wave his right hand.

In mid-air, countless air bubbles, each the size of a human head, appeared.

Each air bubble contains a treasure.

A demigod spirit master said kindly, “Your acquisition of the divine script spellbook is a great contribution to my spirit world. My spirit world will never be stingy with rewards. Within the bubble are martial arts inscriptions, martial arts shadow walls, star treasures, endless wealth, and miraculous medicinal fruits. Whatever you want, we can even consider adding it.”

Zhou Leng looked up at the air bubbles.

Each time you look at one, you'll get some general information about the treasure inside.

The more Zhou Leng looked, the brighter his eyes became.

As expected of the Demon Spirit World, which has participated in the Ten Realms War multiple times and has never fallen, it has too many treasures, with rare semi-divine artifacts lined up one after another.

There were even some slightly damaged defensive cosmic treasures.

The magic masters are indeed very generous.

Zhou Leng quickly searched for tower-shaped and book-shaped treasures, finding quite a few, including even replicas of the Divine Tower, but none of them were tower spirits or tower books.

Treasures are important, but most treasures cannot truly help one improve their realm and limit.

Tower Spirits can enhance the power of martial arts will.

Physical strength and willpower are the key to martial arts; neither can be lacking.

Zhou Leng thought for a moment and said, "I really like divine script, so my request is very simple: leave the divine script spellbook in my hands so that I can study the perfect divine script every day. As for the contents, you can of course keep them; it will not affect the inheritance of the spells."

"no!"

Several straightforward spirit masters refused on the spot.

Divine script spellbooks are not merely records of words; they possess immense symbolic significance and contain powerful energy.

But even the demigod understood that this was an exorbitant price to ask for.

Zhou Leng said helplessly, "Since you are all reluctant to part with the divine script spellbook, then I will settle for second best. I want to become the tower spirit of the divine tower and request to possess a copy of the tower book. Of course, I will not reveal any of the contents of the tower book."

This is the last choice the demigods want to see.

The sky was filled with air bubbles, and they even went so far as to bring out celestial treasures, all in an effort to conceal the tower spirit and the tower book.

Long ago, the Three Towers issued a decree stating that anyone who obtained a divine script spellbook could become a tower spirit and acquire the tower's scriptures.

In the world of demons, only after advancing to demigod status and passing extremely rigorous trials can one become a tower spirit and obtain the tower book.

Besides, obtaining the Tower Spirit and Tower Book is even more difficult than advancing to demigod status.

Of the more than one hundred demigods present, less than half possessed both the Tower Spirit and the Tower Book.

The demigods looked at each other and fell silent.

These two rewards are truly unique.

The outside world has no idea that the Tower Spirit has a very peculiar relationship with the Divine Tower and has a certain degree of control over the Divine Tower.

The demigods even suspected that the highest realm of the tower spirit was to control the entire divine tower.

As for the Tower Book, it records all the information and data of the Demon World.

Even if it is not leaked, if an outsider sees it, it could very likely cause a disaster.

The demigods exchanged mental energy rapidly.

A fierce wind howled above the Great Deep Courtyard.

"There's no need to worry about the tower spirit. No matter how strong his mental power is, it can't surpass that of a demigod demon spirit master."

“That’s right. Someone like Zhao Dongjun is an anomaly; it’s impossible for a second human to appear. Zhao Dongjun’s mental strength carries the will to survive of the entire world, which is why he is the strongest in the Ten Realms. Zhou Leng could not possibly bear such a heavy mental burden.”

“The Tower Book is a big problem, after all, he knows some of the information, which is not good.”

"I think it's fine. First, the information inside is endless. Even demigods like us can only learn a very small part of it. Even if he reads it every day, he can't possibly read even a fraction of it." "Second, we can set access permissions based on his cultivation level. Since he's at the Innate Realm, he can only see information with Innate Realm access. When he advances to demigod, who knows how many years will pass. If he really does advance to demigod and continues to learn through the Tower Book, then he will definitely become a steadfast collaborator of my Demon Spirit World."

"Of course, it would be best to keep him and make him a permanent resident of the Demon Spirit World."

The demigods quickly discussed the matter.

Finally, a demigod mage smiled and said, "Okay, but there's a small condition."

“Please speak,” Zhou Leng said.

"The prerequisite for obtaining the Tower Spirit and Tower Book is to become a Spirit Master."

"Some things are difficult for martial artists, but not for us magic spirit masters."

"We will use magic to infuse your soul into the body of a baby in a demon world, making you a demon master."

"Next, you will become the chief disciple of the Three Towers, choosing any demigod as your teacher. We cannot guarantee that you will be promoted to demigod, but we can easily help you advance to legend."

"Once you reach the Legendary level, whether you strive to break through to the demigod realm or study divine runes is entirely up to you. And we will still do our best to assist you."

Zhou Lengdao asked, "What if I continue to be a martial artist?"

"I can give you the Tower Spirit identity and the Tower Book."

"However, you must swear not to fight for control of the Divine Tower. Also, your Tower Book is limited by your cultivation level. When your cultivation level is low, you will not be able to see more confidential information."

"Most importantly, you must remain in the Demon World forever to avoid revealing the secrets of the Divine Tower."

"This is already our greatest sincerity."

After a moment's thought, Zhou Leng realized that the so-called reincarnation as a demon spirit master and eternal stay in the demon spirit world were just demigods paying back what they owed.

Their real purpose was still not to give the complete Tower Spirit and Tower Book.

However, his purpose was to strengthen his martial arts will, and he had no interest in controlling the Divine Tower.

As for the realm and authority of the Tower Book, it's nothing special. Some things are useless if your realm is too low.

Zhou Leng sighed and said, "I am a martial artist and it is impossible for me to stay in the Demon Spirit World forever. This is not a reward, it is a restriction. I can accept the restriction on the Tower Spirit and Tower Book, but you should remove the restriction on me staying in the Demon Spirit World forever and compensate me in other ways."

“Zhou Leng, the Divine Tower is of great significance to magic spirit masters.”

“The significance of the divine texts is equally important,” Zhou Leng said, neither humble nor arrogant.

The two sides went back and forth, negotiating continuously.

The interests involved are too great; even a demigod wouldn't easily give in.

Zhou Leng has the moral high ground, and he also has a trump card: he can translate divine script.

If the other party really refuses to budge, I still have the ability to retaliate.

During this time, Zhou Leng repeatedly claimed to be a member of the Ice and Snow Cult and expressed his hope to contact a demigod of the Ice and Snow Cult for assistance.

If the Ice and Snow Cult gets involved, who knows what will happen in the end? The Great Deep Court firmly disagrees.

Both sides were hoarse from talking, but finally reached an agreement.

Zhou Leng did not vie for control of the Divine Tower. The access to the Tower Book increased with his cultivation level. After becoming a demigod, he could browse all the contents and would not have to stay in the Demon Spirit World forever.

In addition, Zhou Leng joined the "Book of Gods" as a formal member and was given the status of "Honorary Legend".

In a few days, the Blue Star will be notified, and Zhou Leng will be appointed as the "Ambassador between the Blue Star and the Demon Spirit World".

The two ambassadors hold extremely high status, as only a very few demigods can receive this honor.

They also wield considerable power, enabling them to influence exchanges between the two worlds in almost every area.

In China, the treatment of ambassadors from both sides is basically equivalent to that of the deputy head of the United Front Department, and they also become important members of the United Committee.

The Joint Committee above the United Front Department is an organization established by the Dragon Kingdom to cooperate and consult with various races of the Ten Realms. Its highest leader is one of the members of the Supreme Court.

Zhou Leng signed the agreement and established a magical contract. Accompanied by a legendary magic master, he left the Great Deep Court and headed to the reception hall where the Ice and Snow Cult members were.

The members of the Ice and Snow Cult rose to greet them.

After inquiring about what had happened, Frosty Hand sighed, "You're still too soft-hearted. If you had insisted that we take charge of the negotiations, we could have... helped you gain even greater benefits."

“My gains have far exceeded my expectations. Being too greedy may not be a good thing,” Zhou Leng said.

"Not bad." The masters nodded slightly, acknowledging Zhou Leng's performance.

Frosty Hand took out a spinning ice crystal and held it in its palm.

The ice crystals resemble rugby balls, pointed at both ends and rounded in the middle, slowly rotating, about the size of a fist.

"This is the 'Divine Fate Crystal,' which can ensure your survival even if you withstand a full-force attack from a Void God. This is the Ice and Snow Divine Sect's reward for your first-place ranking."

As Frosty Hand spoke, it gently pushed forward, and the Divine Life Crystal drilled into Zhou Leng's heart, its power surging into his brain.

Zhou Leng stared wide-eyed, his body stiff and motionless.

Everyone just watched with smiles.

Endless, excruciating pain emanated from deep within my heart and brain.

Zhou Leng felt as if his nerves and mind were frozen, and his consciousness screamed wildly.

But it was all in vain; he couldn't move anything and could only passively endure the painful freezing.

Time stands still, but suffering lasts forever.

I don't know how much time passed, but the pain gradually subsided, and I regained control of my body.

Sweat poured down his body like a waterfall, soaking his clothes.
