After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

"I am Bai Ze, a good friend of Qingqiu and a good partner of the Goddess Nuwa!"

Zhou Yan called out several times, but there was still no response from the surroundings.

To be honest, Zhou Yan thought what Wenquxing said made a lot of sense. Indeed, installing a camera and talking face-to-face was the most suitable way to test someone.

But Su Zhaojun ignored him. Zhou Yan suspected that Su Zhaojun had been deceived by Bai Ze too much and wanted to punish him by ignoring him for a while since he had been talking since he came in.

All the people Zhou Yan had encountered, those he knew well but with whom he didn't have a good relationship, seemed to enjoy bullying Bai Ze, especially Houtu Niangniang and Xi Wangmu. Zhou Yan truly felt like he was walking on thin ice when he was with them. If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Yan had performed meritorious service when he went to see these two goddesses, he didn't know what his fate would have been.

Collect "Hmm?"

A flash of inspiration struck Suo Zhouyan: how would he handle the restrictive mechanisms on this level if he were in that situation?

After this idea came to mind, the first thought that popped into my head wasn't about how to protect Su Zhaojun, but rather how to find amusement for those who came to explore these mechanisms.

That's right. Anyway, this Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda has nine floors, so it doesn't matter if we take out one floor to tease the visitors.

Whether it's protected or not isn't important; what matters is that it's fun.

Having fun is the most important thing.

Lin Zhouyan stood up and kicked the ground. The ground shook a few times, and several golden lights flashed across the ground, but there was no problem at all.

4 Zhou Yan walked to the surrounding walls and punched them every half meter. After each punch, the walls were unharmed.

San Zhouyan suddenly looked up at the top of his head.

Above him was a floor slab, and perhaps for lighting purposes, several magical lamps were suspended beneath it, illuminating the area. The light from these lamps flowed down like a waterfall, falling on Zhou Yan and making him feel incredibly comfortable.

The lamp's attributes do indeed show the effects of purifying the mind and suppressing inner demons; in the human world, it would be an invaluable treasure.

4 Zhou Yan stepped onto the void and took down the magic lamp in the center of the floor. In the part of the floor that was covered by the magic lamp, Zhou Yan's omniscience gave a piece of information: "Hollow".

Zhou Yan: "..."

Zhou Yan punched the area containing the keyword "hollow". He had previously punched the Seven Treasures Pagoda, and both the ground and the walls were protected by a vast divine power. Even with Zhou Yan's strength, he couldn't create a single crack.

But now Zhou Yan punched through the floorboards.

That's right, the floor slab was completely blasted open.

That bastard Bai Ze, his method for breaking through to the third level is just a joke. There are no complicated incantations or bloodline confirmations. You don't even need to talk to Su Zhaojun face to face. You just need to find the hollow floorboard blocking the entrance and punch it through. Then the path between the upper and lower levels will be open.

Even in his dying moments, this wicked beast was thinking about how to torment those who would follow.

Moreover, this wicked beast used a high-end magical artifact to block the entrance and exit, preventing me from seeing a section of the floor and thus the hollow nature of that floor. This action was clearly intended to trick me, this little Bai Ze.

Damn it, Bai Ze, don't wait until I find your corpse, I promise I'll skin you alive and use your skin as a scarf!

Zhou Yan poked his head through the floorboards, and after a brief period of darkness, he saw a flat area on the ground.

Like the third floor, the fourth floor was completely empty, but there wasn't even a corpse of a deity like Lingguang Xian on the fourth floor.

Zhou Yan climbed through the hole to the eighty-fourth floor. After entering, the holes on the fourth and third floors closed. Zhou Yan kicked the hole and found that the floor was no longer a hollow slab, but a solid one.

The surrounding area was still a wall that hadn't reached the fifth floor.

Zhou Yan punched the ground, walls, and floorboards repeatedly. He suspected that, given Bai Ze's personality, there might be a way to easily reach the next floor by breaking through certain common sense.

However, Old Bai Ze wasn't the kind of guy who would stick to the same tricks forever. Zhou Yan knocked on the ground, walls, and roof, but still couldn't find the hollow area from before.

……

Reality, outside the Seven Treasures Pagoda.

Zhou Yan then recounted what had happened to Little Yama, Wenquxing, and Wuquxing.

The God of Literature, the God of War, and Little Yama look at each other.

Wenquxing spoke up.

"How about we invite Su Zhaojun to try again?"

Zhou Yan pointed to his voice and said.

"I called out, but there's still no response after ten minutes."

Wu Quxing looked at the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda in the distance and frowned.

"Why don't you take Li Tianwang's body over there and have a look?"

Zhou Yan withdrew from the Jimu Tower and went back to the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. He took Li Tianwang's corpse to the fourth floor and waited for a few minutes without any response.

This time, it was Little Yama who made the suggestion.

"Why don't you take Lingguangxian with you and give it a try, Xiaoyan?"

Zhou Yan withdrew from the Far East again. This time, he brought Lingguang Xian and Li Tianwang with him, but they still couldn't find a way to stop them.

Next, Zhou Yan 2, along with Li Tianwang and Lingguang Xian, went to the room that concealed the empty floorboards of Sizhong, but there was still no response.

Zhou Yan was trapped on the fourth floor and couldn't find a way up.

The sky turned from bright to pitch black. Looking at the dazzling Milky Way in the sky, Little Yama, who had tried several methods without success, hesitated and said to Zhou Yan.

"Xiao Yan, do you think it's possible that the Heavenly King Duowen didn't actually tell you some secrets or methods to control the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, which is why you can't get in?"

Zhou Yan's expression darkened.

"Probably not, Vaishravana isn't that kind of person."

The Heavenly King of Vaisravana is a righteous god with a very high moral standard. Zhou Yan felt that this person would not bully him like Bai Ze did, or find amusement in him.

It's quite ironic, really. The righteous gods who are opposed to Bai Ze and are bullied by him all have high moral standards. Only those who get along well with Bai Ze occasionally want to see themselves having fun.

For example, that beast Jiutian Xuannv, that worm Yinglong, and that bastard Li Tianwang who died handed over the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to Duowen Tianwang, and even had to disguise himself as a woman to beg for help.

For example, Wuquxing, Wenquxing, and Xiao Yanjun, as soon as they heard that he was going to dress as a woman, they all couldn't stand it and came to laugh at him like monkeys.

The God of Literature, the God of War, and Little Yama surrounded them.

Little Yama said righteously.

"Who knows? Perhaps, Xiao Yan, you could wear women's clothing again and go?" (Lu≤）≠肆×≯谰【"

Zhou Yan: "..."

That being said, Wuquxing, what are you doing taking out the camera?

Wenquxing nodded in agreement.

"Just in case, we should definitely go again."

Zhou Yan: "..."

"All right……"

Zhou Yan reluctantly got up.

"Wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes."

Zhou Yan went behind a tree, waited to come out, then put on a beautiful woman's dress. Under the watchful eyes of Wuqu Star, Wenqu Star, and Little Yama, he flew to Kunlun Immortal Palace.

For Zhou Yan, the distance of 100 kilometers was nothing; he only took two steps to find the Garan Hall where the Heavenly King of the East resided.

Upon reaching the front of the hall, Zhou Yan took a deep breath before speaking.

"Duwen, I want to save people..."

A murderous aura emanated from the Garan Hall, sending chills down Zhou Yan's spine. But having come this far, he was determined to accomplish his goal. Zhou Yan spoke, enduring immense pressure that nearly broke his spine.

"I know you hate me, resent me, blame me, but I have now saved Tianzhu and saved countless lives. Look how strong my Bai Ze bloodline is! This is proof of my merits!"

The murderous aura inside the Garan Hall has lessened considerably.

It should be noted that Zhou Yan is only 20 years old, but his awakening level has already reached 91%. When the Heavenly King of the West looked at Zhou Yan, he knew that Zhou Yan must have done too many good deeds for mortals to have accumulated so much merit.

Zhou Yan said in a trembling voice. Qi

"I want to know if Li Tianwang said anything when he gave you the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, or taught you any special refining methods?"

"This is a meritorious act of saving the common people; I implore Your Majesty to keep the people in mind! I, Zhou, am deeply grateful!"

A long silence followed in the Hall of Sangharama, then a sigh escaped, and the voice of Vaishravana, the Heavenly King, rang out.

"If I had known, why wouldn't I have told you when I handed over the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda? What, in your eyes, Nuanyu, am I a petty, narrow-minded, and utterly despicable person?"

Zhou Yan curled his lip.

Indeed, Vaisravana has a very high moral standard and would not do anything to deliberately trick people. If there were any secrets, he would have said them all when he handed over the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. If he didn't say anything, then he didn't have any.

As for the method to refine the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, Zhou Yan knew it at a glance, but it would take hundreds or thousands of years to perfect, which was too time-consuming. In comparison, Zhou Yan actually only wanted to find the Changchun Courtyard on the ninth floor of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, and then find Su Zhaojun from the Changchun Courtyard.

"Bai...I understand. Take care, Heavenly King." (Neighbor)

Zhou Yan respectfully bowed to the Heavenly King Duowen, then turned and flew away, heading towards the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda a hundred kilometers away.

Wenquxing, Wuquxing, and Xiao Yanjun flew up from different corners and converged around Zhou Yan. Xiao Yanjun, who was closest to Zhou Yan, asked.

“Things are getting complicated. It’s impossible for Li Tianwang not to know that there’s something wrong with his Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, but he handed it over to Duowen Tianwang before he died without giving any instructions. There must be a great mystery inside.”

Unlike mortals, immortals don't just die when they want to reveal the murderer/mastermind/killer/shadow figure before they die. Immortals' spiritual senses can compress massive amounts of information and then transmit it to the mind of another immortal.

No matter how bad his condition was at the time, Li Jing would have had a reason to tell Du Wen Tian Wang everything he wanted to say and to instruct him, but Li Jing did not. This suggests that Li Jing might have some abnormal thoughts.

Wu Quxing pondered the implications of the matter and speculated.

"Could it be that King Li has some kind of fun he wants you to do, Xiao Yan, before letting you into the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda?"

Wenquxing added a sentence.

"For example, the method to complete the Seven Treasures Pagoda is in Nezha's hands."

Zhou Yan got goosebumps on his back.

The old Bai Ze at the future Buddha's place did indeed tell him that he must go see Nezha, because there was still some fun to be had with Nezha, and he also had ways to deal with Nezha.

The Heavenly King of Many Hearings hates himself, but he was still crushed by his own words several times. Nezha is even more "new": 羓7〕+÷衫^≠；℃死∝, his temper is very explosive, which also indicates that he is more emotional.

Children who act on emotion are the easiest to deal with.

Zhou Yan felt that subduing Nezha wouldn't be much more difficult than subduing the Heavenly King Duowen.

Ok?

and many more……

As Zhou Yan flew back, his eyes reflected the Seven Treasures Pagoda in the distance.

This Seven Treasures Pagoda is not much different from the Buddhist pagodas in the human world. Each floor has doors, windows, balconies and railings. Faint light shines out from the windows, as if there are countless treasures inside.

So, is it possible to think of it this way?

Zhou Yanfei arrived at the top floor of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, turned 76 degrees, and found the entrance to the ninth floor.

The gate was an ancient, brass-colored door with an air of indestructibility. There was a barely perceptible keyhole on the door, and inside the keyhole was dark and deep, with no bottom in sight.

Zhou Yan took out the key to Changchun Courtyard from Xiaoxitian, inserted it, and the key fit perfectly into the keyhole. Zhou Yan slowly turned the key.

The lock resisted with varying degrees of force depending on the key, but eventually, the lock began to move.

Zhou Yan heard the subtle sounds of gears meshing and spells colliding.

This key triggered countless stress responses within the keyhole.

Zhou Yan pressed the key all the way in, and with a creak, the tightly closed top-floor door opened.

Zhou Yan: “(°Д°)”

Little Yama: "Σ(?Д?;)"

⌒｛思吧死』￡－伞0△？ 五索索∞”:文曲星：“Σ(°△°|||)”

Wuqu Star: "(?°?°?)"

Actually, there's no need to come up from the first floor. You can just go straight to the top floor and open the door from the outside using the key, right?

So I wasted so much time, was I just being a fool?

"Little Yama said in disbelief."

"I think there might be some floors where there's simply no way to get upstairs."

Zhou Yan nodded in despair.

Yes, it's possible that the fourth floor I was on just now didn't actually have a passage from the fourth to the fifth floor. Old Bai Ze arranged bookshelves on the second floor and arranged Lingguang Xian's corpse on the third floor so that I would feel that each floor might have some secret, and therefore I would focus all my energy and attention on how to get from the fourth to the fifth floor.

Then he looked at the key to the Changchun Courtyard that he was carrying and smiled.
