Qin Li flew all the way.
Soon approaching a huge lake.
At the centre was an island in the centre of the lake, and on the island was a hundred-foot black tower that had been ravaged over the years, wearing away the edges of its eaves and corners, looking tattered and even a little shaky.
This is the seven-coloured pagoda, also less than how many years it has stood, some people speculate that it existed a million years ago, once it is opened, it will blossom with brilliant seven-coloured light, and at night it is even more beautiful, but only once every three hundred years.
The pagoda leads to seven secret realms, each with their own cultivation requirements, and the higher up you go, the denser the aura becomes and the more precious the elixirs produced. However, the seventh level was always a mystery, and no one had opened it yet, so there were legends that the seventh division spawned great treasures.
“I hope the seven-coloured treasure pearl will bring me a surprise.”
Qin Li harnessed his recluse and landed slowly on the island at the centre of the lake, and was about to take out the treasure bead.
Suddenly!
A chortling voice rang out.
“Hey, that loose cultivator, this isn’t a place where you can come.”
Several cultivators rushed over, they wore uniform Daoist robes, their cultivation levels were all above Great Immortal, they should all be sect disciples.
“What’s the matter?”Qin Li asked.
A few cultivators surrounded them and droned coldly, “The Seven-coloured Pagoda is the private property of our Concentric Alliance, all outsiders and casual cultivators are not allowed to approach it, so why don’t you leave quickly.”
Qin Li was flabbergasted, “Concentric Alliance? How come I haven’t heard of this power, that said, the Seven-Coloured Pagoda is public, as long as it’s opened, anyone must be qualified to enter, how could it be your private property?”
“Hahaha!”
A few cultivators laughed in shame:
“Scattered cultivator, you’re afraid that you’ve been in seclusion for too long and don’t know about the winds and clouds in the Southern Region nowadays.”
“Nowadays, the Green Steel Sect, the Fiery Tiger Sect, the River Stream Sect, the Silver Sword Sect, and the Canghai Ming Sect …… are a total of fifteen big clans that have formed a concentric alliance to completely control this side of the region.”
“In the past, several large clans struggled against each other, not sharing the victory and defeat, thus resulting in the seven-coloured pagoda not having an owner, now that we are all in the same breath, we can no longer allow you casual cultivators to take advantage of the situation.”
Qin Li said indistinctly, “So that’s how it is, the Southern Heavenly Clan came out and produced a series of changes, causing the forces of the Southern Domain to reshuffle and form alliances to weather the storm together.”
“Hey, loose cultivator, are you rolling or not, don’t force our hand!”A few cultivators pointed their blades at Qin Li in a flaunting manner.
“Drink!”
Qin Li fiercely drank.
At his level, every move had great destructive power, and with a full strength shout, aura rippled and the air exploded, forming a terrifying shockwave that pushed dozens of metres horizontally.
These few cultivators were all at Great Immortal cultivation, where could they resist a single drink from an Immortal King, their eardrums were shocked with severe pain, their minds were confused, and they directly fainted on the spot.
“If I were stronger, I should be able to roar the Great Immortals to death!”
Qin Li smiled faintly and took out a black iron cage from his storage pouch, in which was the seven-coloured treasure pearl. It was unknown what the cage was made of, and it had never been broken.
Buzzing!
The treasure bead seemed to have a sense and kept vibrating.
“It really has an effect!”Qin Li was delighted in his heart.
At this moment, the treasure bead blossomed with brilliant seven-coloured light, transforming into a rainbow streak that carried Qin Li and flew into the pagoda with a swoosh.
In the blink of an eye!
Qin Li arrived at the ground floor of the pagoda.
This was a good place for cultivation with its abundant spiritual qi, but it was a pity that it opened once every three hundred years.
The rainbow pelt didn’t make much of a stop, charging straight upwards, quickly arriving at the second, third and fourth layers, the surrounding spiritual qi became denser and denser, and Qin Li saw quite a few fourth-grade immortal herbs, as well as a number of fifth-grade medicinal herbs that were of extraordinary value.
Swoosh-
A breaking sound resounded through the clouds.
The rainbow pike traversed across the sixth layer to the seventh layer.
Here was a white mist of clouds suspended above the sky, as if it was an immortal realm in the clouds.
“How did the beads turn white.”Qin Li is somewhat surprised, the seven-coloured treasure bead has faded from its splendour, turning into a white jade bead, and that impenetrable black iron cage has also crumbled inch by inch, turning into dust.
“The precious pearl seems to be guiding me.”Qin Li’s blessed heart, his eyes looked deep into the clouds, something seemed to be attracting him.
“Go over and take a look!”
Qin Li stepped into the air and travelled across the white clouds.
Soon, he reached the end of the clouds and saw a majestic round gate.
It was an ancient Taiji gate set in the void, with the yin fish and yang fish biting into each other, seemingly leading to another mysterious world.
Moreover, the yin and yang fish had no eyes.
“Could it be ……”
Qin Li instantly reacted.
He took a few steps forward and set the white jade beads onto the eyes of the yin fish.
Immediately, the white jade bead shone brightly, and the Yin Fish seemed to come to life as complex ancient patterns emerged on its body surface, seemingly about to swirl open a passageway, yet it was stuck dead in its tracks by the silent Yang Fish.
“I see, wanting to go to the seventh level is, requires two seven-coloured beads.”Qin Li was slightly disappointed, however he could clearly feel the might behind the door, it seemed to be hiding some great treasure, just a hint of treasure light from the crack of the door was mesmerising.
“What’s behind this backwards, is it a Yuan Dan treasure, or a Weapon Immortal treasure?”
Qin Li couldn’t help but speculate.
Being above the legendary two Immortal Kings, the Yuan Dan Immortal, and the Five Weapon Immortals did not leave behind any dao lineage, but left behind many treasures on earth.
It was rumoured that the four Immortal Kings above today, with profound chances, had each mistakenly entered the Four Directions Treasures of the Five Weapons Immortal, each obtaining an eighth-grade Immortal Armament, and had reigned supreme in the world ever since. After the Taiji Sect, it was likely that there was an eighth-grade immortal weapon.
“Of course it could also be the Yuan Dan Treasure, it is rumoured that the Yuan Dan Immortal refined an eighth grade elixir, the Golden Elixir, which has not decayed in millions of years, an Immortal Zun ninth grade taking one would directly promote him to Immortal King, and if Master Uncle Jin Guang were to take the Golden Elixir, he might be able to regain his cultivation.”
Qin Li thought about it.
Although he didn’t know what was behind the door, it was definitely a great treasure.
“Hehe! Must find the other treasure pearl, I usually have to keep an eye out for it.”Qin Li sighed and removed the white jade bead from the door.
Taking a deep look at the Taiji Gate, Qin Li turned to leave.
Swoosh!
The rainbow pike flashed.
It humped up Qin Li and flew downwards.
Along the way, it traversed six worlds and arrived before another gate.
“Another gate, or a square gate, standing on the first level.”Qin Li was surprised.
This gate was nine zhang tall, cast in bronze with a thick shape, also set in the void, and had a large golden lock with a terrifying prohibition on it, which also manifested an hourglass silhouette that was slowly timing itself.
“According to the speed of the hourglass, it would take at least three hundred years to finish, can it be that this is the reason why the Seven-Coloured Pagoda opens once every three hundred years?”
Qin Li’s eyes narrowed as he took a few steps forward and extended his hand to touch the golden grand lock.
Ka-ching!
A crisp sound rang out.
Seemingly touching some sort of organ, the golden great lock was locked and the hourglass no longer flowed, signifying that the seven-coloured pagoda would never be opened to the public again.
“Oh no, the pagoda is locked!”
Qin Li first panicked, then rejoiced, “This is a great thing! From now on, only I will be able to enter the Seven-Coloured Treasure Pagoda, and these six secret realms will become my backyard, so I can completely move the Clear Snow Sect in. It’s rich in resources and aura anyway.”
Although he didn’t enter the seventh layer, getting six secret realms was a great gain. If the Earth Sect were to be established in the future, it would be a complete pity to learn from the academy and hide in the secret realms, free and hidden.
“Great chance!”
“It’s time for me to return to the Qingxue Sect as well!”
With a thousand thoughts in his mind, Qin Li harnessed a rainbow pike and left the Seven-Coloured Pagoda through an extremely hidden spatial tunnel.
On the Heart of the Lake Road.
Qin Li appeared out of thin air.
The Rainbow Pipette plunged into the white jade treasure pearl and transformed back into a glittering seven-coloured treasure pearl.
“It seems that the treasure pearl is the key to free access, I must obtain the second seven-coloured treasure pearl.”Qin Li set his goal in his mind.
Leaving the Lakeheart Island!
Qin Li went to Pagoda City.
It was a small city, born out of the seven-coloured pagoda, and although it wasn’t prosperous, cultivators from all the major clans were stationed there, so that once there was an abnormality in the pagoda, the clans would be notified.
“I remember that the Qingxue Sect’s residence should be here!”
Qin Li originally wanted to look for the Clear Snow Sect cultivators and ask about the recent situation, but who knew that when he arrived at another place, the plaque read “Concentric Alliance Resident”.
“Hey! That smelly loose cultivator, hurry up and get lost, don’t block our doorway and get in the way.”A cultivator rushed out from inside the house, repulsing with a face full of disgust.
Qin Li asked, “Isn’t this the Qingxue Sect’s residence? How did it become your Concentrated Alliance’s chassis?”
The cultivator laughed out loud, “This is all old history, after the Concentric Alliance came out, it swept through the surrounding area, and the Qingxue Sect was on the verge of being annexed, so this is naturally our chassis.”
“What!”Qin Li was stunned.
