Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 439 Owe
Zhou Leng clearly sensed that his heart and brain were enveloped by a thin layer of ice.

The extra power emitted by the ice crystals was absorbed by the body, making it even stronger.

Frosty Hand said, "Alright, the Divine Fate Crystal can not only bring you back from the brink of death, but also gradually strengthen your body and mind. After all, this is the power of the gods."

"What exactly?"

The group simply smiled and did not reply.

Zhou Leng didn't ask any more questions. This thing was very likely related to the core secrets of the Ice and Snow Cult.

After chatting for a long time, the legendary master of the Great Deep Court came to inform Zhou Leng that all the trial participants had woken up and were now going to the Ancient Spirit Hall to collect their ranking rewards.

Accompanied by Frostbite, Zhou Leng headed to the Ancient Spirit Hall.

Frosthand and the others stood outside the door, and Zhou Leng stepped inside.

Inside, there were forty or fifty trial participants.

Zhou Leng was puzzled. Shouldn't there be a hundred people, including himself?
When the trial participants saw Zhou Leng appear, some bowed their heads in greeting, some offered loud congratulations, and some silently retreated.

This Zhou Leng is too ruthless.

Those dozens of whistleblowers were convicted of false accusation, their demonic spirits were sealed, and they were thrown into a monster breeding farm for three years.

They are all disciples of the Three Towers, and together with the forces behind them, they could overthrow a small country.

Cang Fei Zhi Yan strode over, gave him a look, and asked, "Are you alright?"

"fine."

"Got it?"

Zhou Leng nodded.

Cang Fei Zhi Yan was overjoyed and excitedly slapped Zhou Leng's arm, saying, "Well done!"

"What about the others? Are they dead?" Zhou Leng asked.

Cangfeizhiyan then recounted what had happened.

"The demigod master is indeed fair," Zhou Leng said.

"How are you feeling?" Zhou Leng asked.

Azure Flame raised his arm and said, "Fully recovered. The Ancient Spirit Path is very powerful. And..."

He whispered, "My magic seems to have changed somewhat. What about yours?"

Zhou Leng nodded. After cultivating in the starry sky for so long, the changes in his Star-Gazing True Qi were very obvious.

It seems that the Star-Refining Technique was only complete after being tempered by stellar power.

Cang Fei Zhi Yan suddenly sighed and said, "Thank you for helping me get into the top three, but I feel really guilty."

"how?"

"Because even if you come in first, the benefits you receive will be far less than mine. For example, the top ten will all receive an Ancient Spirit, but since you are not a Spirit Master, you may not receive one. Even if you do receive one, the Spirit will wither and die because you lack magical power."

Zhou Leng said, "Then there's nothing I can do. By the way, if I obtain a demonic spirit, can I sell it?"

"It's not recommended, because the spirit is connected to your mental power. If you sell it, your mental power will be damaged."

"I see. Then keep it."

Cangfeizhiyan said, "However, advanced civilizations are different from others, and may have special demonic spirits."

"possible."

"Let's go, now let's accept the rewards of the Ancient Spirit Trial." Cang Fei Zhi Yan and Zhou Leng walked into the depths of the Ancient Spirit Palace.

At the far end of Gringoire, a circular platform stands, upon which floats a book covered in divine runes.

The old man's voice echoed along the Ancient Spirit Path.

"Everyone, find a place to sit, clear your mind, and wait for your reward."

The group dispersed and took their seats.

Cang Fei Zhi Yan glanced at Zhou Leng, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Now, he finally understood the meaning of the previous prophecy.

He did not use the Demon-Devouring Nail, but for the sake of his convictions, he gave up the benefits of evil and the ranking that did not belong to him.

But the final result far exceeded expectations.

Instead of sacrificing friends and kindness in order to achieve a higher ranking, as her father believed.

Zhou Leng closed his eyes and waited quietly, wondering what he would get.

The top three will receive two rewards.

Like the top ten, the first time you will receive a rare ancient spirit, but it is actually a spirit from a higher world.

But since I am a martial artist, even if I am rewarded with a demonic spirit, I cannot use it.

They might not even give any rewards to the top ten.

However, he gained immensely by receiving Zhao Sheng's spiritual inheritance, acquiring the divine script spellbook, and completing the first divine script of the Undying Star.

The rewards for the top ten are not that important.

As Zhou Leng was thinking, a flash of light appeared in the World of Will, and a golden pyramid descended from the sky, floating above the Mountain of Will.

The pyramids are crystal clear, just like crystal.

Subtle information flowed into my mind.

This pyramid crystal belongs to the "Starry Sky Demon Spirit".

However, because Zhou Leng had no magic power, this Starry Sky Demon Spirit was transformed from a normal demon spirit into a "Powerful Starry Sky Demon Spirit".

This demon cannot leave the space of will, nor can it be used on its own.

However, this demon can capture all celestial powers and then amplify the aura, nature, traces, and even insights of these powers, transmitting them to its master.

This kind of demonic spirit is the cultivation-type demonic spirit that demigods in the demonic spirit world dream of, and it is extremely rare.

This Starry Sky Demon Spirit is a powerful force, ranking higher than ordinary demon spirits.

Ordinary magical spirits are essentially magical powers.

This Starry Sky Demon Spirit is a kind of innate divine power.

Having received some information from the Starry Sky Demon Spirit, the parts of the Seven-Colored Divine Script that were previously incomprehensible suddenly became clear. It turned out that in the Divine Might Heavenly Region, higher life forms cultivated a higher power called Divine Might.

Whether it's demonic spirits or magic, it's just a transition, a branch of divine power.

This Starry Sky Demon Spirit is actually formed from divine power.

Zhou Leng's martial arts will connected with the Starry Sky Demon Spirit, allowing him to deeply comprehend it.

This Starry Sky Demon Spirit has a very special aura. It seems to be non-existent, empty and boundless, yet occasionally one can sense its vast and majestic grandeur.

It itself seems to be a combination of yin and yang.

What seems contradictory is actually due to one's own insufficient level of understanding, making it impossible to simultaneously accommodate both of these forces.

I continued to reflect, but because my understanding was insufficient, the gains were extremely minor.

Then, a drop of seven-colored water fell from the void and landed on the Mountain of Will.

A powerful force surged, and a lightning-fast storm of will erupted around the Mountain of Will.

The mountain of will suddenly began to swell, much like a mortal who had consumed an elixir of immortality.

In no time, it grew to twice its size.

Zhou Leng sighed inwardly, thinking how fast this growth was. If he relied on the Gate of Purgatory to cultivate, he didn't know how many thousands of times he would have to enter the Crimson Lotus Fire Hell to grow to this level.

This reward is of great importance to the magic master.

Mental strength is the foundation of a magic master.

After a while, the old man's voice rang out.

"The Ancient Spirit Path, is over."

Zhou Leng slowly opened his eyes.

On the left shoulder of Azure Flame, a light black magic orb appeared, containing a twisted black snake with its head and tail connected, resembling a horizontal "8", representing the symbol of infinity.

"A spatial spirit." A spirit master couldn't help but exclaim softly.

Everyone turned their gaze toward the Crimson Flame.

Azure Flame smiled.

Even the people at the three tall towers, including Shanhaiguang, noticed this and their expressions changed slightly.

Space spirits are rare; even among demigods, there are no more than ten who possess them.

From then on, the Azure Flame's status became extraordinary, and it was inevitable that it would be invited by the Three Towers.

Everyone offered their congratulations, including the people from the Three Towers.

Cang Feizhi thanked him politely and asked Zhou Leng, "How are you?"

Seeing that there were many people talking, Zhou Leng shrugged and said nothing.

Cang Fei Zhi Yan glanced at Zhou Leng's shoulder, saw no demonic spirit, sighed softly, and said, "I will make it up to you."

"No need, just fulfill the previous agreement," Zhou said with a cold laugh.

Cang Fei Zhi Yan said, "You owe me 650 million. I'm currently ranked second. Starting from tenth place, for every place I move up, 100 million of my debt is wiped off. I actually moved up eight places, so now... I owe you 150 million?"

Zhou Leng said, "I'm more magnanimous than you. I'll erase the 150 million you owe me."

Cang Feizhiyan was both amused and exasperated, and said, "No, I'll pay for this."

The group walked outside.

Some people were reluctant to leave, still hoping to gain some extra power.

Some spirit masters who were originally quite critical of Zhou Leng now see that Zhou Leng did not obtain the spirit, and instead put aside their prejudices and sympathize with him.

This martial artist, despite being ranked number one, came all this way for nothing; it's truly a pity.

As they approached the door, several legendary masters appeared, presenting a thick stack of demonic contracts for everyone to sign, except for Zhou Leng.

Everyone quickly skimmed through the contract, which prohibited discussing the Ancient Spirit Path, revealing any secrets, and mentioning anything related to Zhou Leng.

The trial participants looked at Zhou Leng with suspicion, vaguely guessing that things were not so simple.

Looking at Zhou Leng's profile, Shan Hai Zhi Guang sighed inwardly. His previous guess had come true; Zhou Leng had obtained the divine script spellbook.

However, he quickly cheered up, knowing that with the new divine script spellbook, the overall power of the demon world would increase rapidly.

After signing the Demon Spirit Contract, Azure Flame and Zhou Leng walked out and met Frosty Hand together.

Seeing the spatial spirit appear on the shoulder of Azure Flame, Frosty Hand smiled and praised.

The group chatted and laughed as they arrived at their guest rooms in the Great Demon Tower.

That night, under the guidance of the demigod master, Zhou Leng entered the Divine Tower, completed the Tower Spirit Ritual, and obtained the Tower Book.

Neither side made a sound and quietly returned.

The next day, Zhou Leng officially became a member of the "Book of Gods," one of the three towers, and possessed the same rights as other members of the Book of Gods. As an honorary legend, an ambassador between two worlds, and a tower spirit, he actually had more power.

Azure Flame joins the "Staff of Destruction," which she has loved since childhood, and specializes in offensive magic.

The two first returned to High Tower City to attend a banquet hosted by the Cangfei family.

Zhou Leng felt that Cang Feilan and the Cang Fei family were looking at him strangely, but there was no malice in it, so he didn't care.

Because of the successful entry of the Azure Flame into the Three Towers, the Azure Flame family's status has greatly increased, and many forces have offered their congratulations, while celebrities from all walks of life have come to visit.

Cang Fei Zhi Yan took Zhou Leng with him wherever he went, including when he was forced to drink alcohol.

When Zhou Leng woke up, he pulled a large handkerchief from his magic bag.

Each handkerchief is embroidered with a name, some with three.

Zhou Leng shook his head, ignoring them.

After having breakfast with Cang Feizhiyan, the two used their status as members of the Three Towers to teleport to their respective factions for free, collect the basic cultivation resources for Three Towers members, and then participate in the trials that only Three Towers members are qualified to participate in.

Zhou Leng cannot participate in pure demon spirit trials, but he can participate in combat and mental trials.

Stay for seven consecutive days, complete a large number of trials, and obtain a lot of magical resources. Sell them and exchange them for the martial arts resources you need.

Seven days later, using their status as Tower Spirit Masters, they entered the Great Demon Spirit Tower to begin higher-level trials and cultivation.
