Fantasy/Heroic: Heaven-Burning Divine Fire, Earthly Sovereign!

"This boy is extraordinary. Since Brother Jinxia sent him here, he must have a foolproof plan. You don't need to say anything more."

Without offering much explanation, Master Qingwei made the final decision, settling the matter directly.

Seeing this, no one dared to say anything more.

Jing Tian was taken to have his aptitude checked. Xu Changqing learned that he was of the wind attribute, so he chose a wind attribute cultivation technique for him and told him to start practicing it first.

We will pass on even better techniques in the future.

They also gave him a set of standard clothing and a sword, and took him around Mount Shu, explaining some of the rules for disciples.

Jing Tian was very happy with the new method he had just learned.

Looking at the scenery of Mount Shu and listening to Xu Changqing talk about the rules of Mount Shu, he nodded repeatedly.

However, he did not forget Yuwen Tuo.

"Brother Xu, will Brother Yuwen stay in your Shu Mountain?"

"I don't know either."

"Can I still see him?"

"As long as he is here, you can go see him, but you must not neglect your cultivation."

"Don't worry, I won't delay you."

Jing Tian patted his chest and guaranteed it.

"I will take you to your room first. From now on, you will be a lay disciple of Mount Shu. You must abide by the rules of Mount Shu, and you must not leave the mountain easily or go down the mountain at will."

"Then I can't even see my dad and the others?"

"You may go down the mountain once a year, but you must inform us first."

Xu Changqing patiently explained.

Jing Tian felt relieved when he heard that he could still go down the mountain.

He was genuinely afraid that he wouldn't be able to descend the mountain and would be forced to stay on it.

That's the same as being a monk.

Father would probably be heartbroken if he knew.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

A disciple of Mount Shu invited Yuwen Tuo to the back of Mount Shu.

Master Qingwei was already waiting there.

Yuwen Tuo then stepped forward and bowed in greeting.

"How have you been in Shushan these past few days?"

"Thank you for your concern, Sect Leader. Everything is fine at Mount Shu. Shall we go see the Eye of Turbidity now?"

Yuwen Tuo had been waiting for several days and was already quite impatient.

After all, the Eye of Turbidity is right in front of us; it would be a lie to say we're not anxious.

"This is no ordinary place; you must not be impatient, or you will lose your composure."

Master Qingwei gave a word of advice.

"Oh, what kind of ferocious creature is this?" Yuwen Tuo asked, somewhat puzzled.

"The Eye of Turbid Qi is formed naturally in the human world, just like the Nine Springs of Heaven and Earth."

"The place where Mount Shu is located is where the turbid energy of the human world gathers, and where evil energy surges most domineeringly."

"Thousands of years ago, it experienced the chaos of a great demon. The Eye of Turbid Qi rioted several times, almost creating an even greater demon."

As they walked, Master Qingwei recounted past events to Yuwentuo.

Yuwen Tuo listened with great interest.

"Later, the goddess Nuwa built the Demon-Locking Tower and set up a great array based on the Five Elemental Pearls, which finally suppressed the Eye of Turbidity and brought it to complete peace."

"Our Shushan sect all practice the method of cultivating righteous energy, which is to gather the righteous energy of the world to suppress this thing."

"But no matter how hard the ancestors of Shu Mountain tried, the formation would break down over time. They would need to find the scattered Five Elemental Pearls to rebuild the formation, but there is no news about them now."

Master Qingwei explained in detail.

He didn't exaggerate the contributions of Mount Shu, simply mentioning it briefly.

However, Yuwen Tuo was filled with respect.

The price that Mount Shu paid should be known and respected by all under heaven.

Yuwen Tuo's gaze was caught by Daoist Qingwei, who smiled calmly and continued walking forward.

Suddenly the scenery changed, and a deep abyss appeared.

A narrow path has been carved out of the cliff on the left.

Below lies an abyss of unknown depth.

At the end of the abyss stood a towering pagoda.

Chains connect the Demon-Locking Tower to the tower's body and fasten it to the nearby rocks.

"This is the Demon-Locking Tower of Mount Shu, and the Eye of Turbid Qi is at the very bottom."

"There are thousands of demons in the town of Tower. Although the Demon-Transforming Water can reduce their cultivation, there are still some powerful demons."

"I and the four elders will join forces to set up an array to send you to the bottom of the tower."

"The Demon-Sealing Tower has a strong suppressive effect on demons. With our protection, you will be fine. Just keep your mind calm and don't be swayed by that turbid energy."

Master Qingwei was a kind and gentle elder who carefully explained to Yuwen Tuo the things he needed to pay attention to on this trip.

Yuwen Tuo nodded emphatically, his goodwill towards Daoist Qingwei deepening.

No wonder he and Jinxia Zhenren became friends; they share the same personality.

After traversing that treacherous path, Yuwentuo arrived at the Demon-Locking Tower.

An ancient and rustic atmosphere wafted over me.

Runes flowed across the tower gate, as if whispering echoes.

The four elders were already waiting quietly in front of the tower.

"Greetings to the four elders!"

Yuwen Tuo bowed and greeted him.

The four elders nodded slightly.

"You stand in the middle."

Master Qingwei pointed straight ahead.

Yuwen Tuo stepped forward and walked into the middle of the crowd.

The five elders of Mount Shu exchanged a glance, and five beams of clear light rose from their fingertips, converging above Yuwen Tuo's head like auspicious clouds of five colors. The talisman appeared silently, faintly connecting the five elements of heaven and earth.

Suddenly, runes lit up the gray ground, their light flowing like an inverted galaxy, the array patterns blazing brightly.

A yin-yang symbol appeared beneath Yuwentuo's feet, completely enveloping him.

"go!"

The five elders shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens. Suddenly, a beam of light rose from the ground, transforming into a blue-white pillar that pierced straight to the top of the Demon-Locking Tower.

The Demon-Sealing Tower is a one-way street; there is no entrance and no exit.

They all communicated through formations to send demons in.

Now, for Yuwentuo to enter, there is also a process involved.

He felt a dizzying sensation as his body was swept away by an invisible force and plunged into the tower, the wind whistling like knives in his ears.

In just one breath, the scenery before my eyes suddenly changed.

He appeared in a dark place.

All around were black stones, and golden runes swirled in the air.

Below was a fiery red area, like churning lava.

"What is this? Could it be the Eye of Turbidity?"

Yuwen Tuo went forward to check and found that the fiery red area did not have much heat.

Even with divine sense probing, there was no clue.

"This is the Demon-Transforming Water from the Demon-Sealing Tower; it is only effective against demons and evil spirits."

"If you jump into the Demon-Transforming Water and sink to the bottom, you will see the Eye of Turbidity."

Master Qingwei's voice came from beside my ear.

Yuwen Tuo's eyes lit up.

Without the slightest hesitation, he used his spiritual power to protect himself and jumped down.

The Demon-Transforming Water, like liquid glass, silently enveloped the entire body, its chilling aura penetrating yet possessing no corrosive power.

As Yuwen Tuo sank, golden runes swirled around him, reflecting countless distorted phantoms—the lingering resentments of demonic souls suppressed for millennia, whispering, roaring, and pleading deep beneath the water.

He held his breath and focused his mind, letting the phantom pass through him, keeping only a clear mind.

Outside the Demon-Sealing Tower, among the Five Elders of Mount Shu, there is a Mystic Mirror that reflects the scene where Yuwen Tuo is.

Seeing his decisiveness, he nodded in approval.

This young man possesses extraordinary talent and a remarkably calm temperament, surpassing even his peers among cultivators.

The Golden Cloud Immortal has gained a fine grand-disciple.

After passing through the Demon-Transforming Water, Yuwen Tuo suddenly found himself in an empty space.

The demon-transforming water was completely isolated, and beneath his feet was a suspended dark stone platform. Chaos churned all around, with only a wisp of gray mist swirling around the center like a dragon.

Yuwen Tuo looked around. The gray mist seemed to have a spirit. Sensing the presence of a living person, it suddenly condensed into a vertical pupil, its eerie light as deep as an abyss, piercing straight to the soul.
