Beast Emperor City was imnse beyond compare.
It was divided into five major city districts: east, south, west, north, and central, with the East City District being the black market.
The West City District was also bustling with activity.
Under Along's lead, Xiao Yi rented a horse-drawn carriage and, for the cost of ten thousand Silver, arrived at the Cave of Desire located in the West City. This Cave of Desire was a huge cavern.
To the left and right of the cave, a nine-story tower was constructed respectively.
Along explained, "These two towers are known as the Demon Suppression Towers... It is said that deep within the Cave of Desire, an evil Demon Spirit brimming with wickedness is sealed. The first City Lord of Beast Emperor City built these two towers in an attempt to suppress the Demon Spirit within the Cave of Desire!"
Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow.
He didn't believe in such tales of suppressing Demon Spirits.
As the two approached the Cave of Desire, they found that many powerhouses were already queuing up in front, and at the entrance of the Cave of Desire, there were ten strong n dressed in the armor of the Law Enforcent Team standing guard.
In the center, an old man sat nonchalantly at a small table.
"This old man is not simple!"
Xiao Yi watched the old man, warily on guard inside.
Even though this person's cultivation might not have reached the Dharma Manifestation Realm, he was still more terrifying than the usual peak Tao Tribulation Realm cultivator!
Xiao Yi's gaze swept around.
At the entrance of the Cave of Desire, there was actually a black stele.
On the stele, there were nas inscribed.
The one at the top was none other than Xiao Tianjiao!
Behind Xiao Tianjiao's na, there were seventeen golden stars twinkling.
"Why would Xiao Tianjiao's na be here?"
Xiao Yi turned to Along and asked, "Along, who are the people listed on that stele?"
Along, who sohow had produced a roasted beast leg to gnaw on, mumbled vaguely, "That's the ranking for the Cave of Desire. See the one ranked first, Xiao Tianjiao? It is said that he cos from the Great Qian Dynasty and is an unparalleled genius. He once ca to the Cave of Desire when he was at the peak of the Tao Tribulation Realm and bravely made it to the seventeenth level. At that ti, the entire Beast Emperor City was shaken!"
Xiao Yi murmured, "Peak of the Tao Tribulation Realm? The seventeenth level? Just how many levels does the Cave of Desire have?"
Along said, "There are a total of eighteen levels. It is said that the Evil Demon Spirit is sealed on the eighteenth level. If one can enter there, they can gain the strength of the Demon Spirit. However, to this day, no one has ever reached the eighteenth level..."
"Evil Demon Spirit?"
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, "Even Xiao Tianjiao was stopped at the seventeenth level? I'm curious as to where my limit lies!"
"Make way, all of you, make way!"
There suddenly ca a hurried rush of footsteps from behind the crowd, and a haughty young man followed by a group of people walked over. This young man had an air of arrogance, with a look of disdain for everyone, and a dark long spear on his back.
The people in line stepped aside to make room.
"Who is that?" Xiao Yi asked, puzzled.
Along shook his head.
He was just a slave, how could he know so much?
The cultivator from the Fifth Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm who had been standing in front of Xiao Yi turned around and said, "You don't know him? He is Sha Ying, the Vice City Lord Sha Kun's son from our Beast Emperor City. He's considered an extraordinary genius, and it's said that he has always idolized Xiao Tianjiao, striving to surpass him. He's already made it to the fifteenth level before but refuses to leave his na on the ranking. He's probably here this ti to challenge Xiao Tianjiao's record!"
Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow, looking with interest at the imperious Sha Ying, "To idolize Xiao Tianjiao? That's quite interesting!"
Sha Ying quickly entered.
The crowd continued to queue, and after a short while,
it finally ca to their turn. The old man sat there calmly, his eyes not even bothering to look up, "Tao Tribulation Realm, one million entry fee per person!"
Xiao Yi rolled his eyes and handed over two million Silver.
This Beast Emperor City really does charge money for everything!
If a poor person were here, they wouldn't even be able to afford a al.
As Xiao Yi entered the Cave of Desire, he found himself in a narrow passageway. While walking, he suddenly discovered that Along had disappeared from his side. Abruptly, two diverging paths appeared before him.
Between the two paths stood a stele.
On the stele was written: Left for life, right for death.
Choose the path of life, leave the cave!
Choose the path of death, risk falling!
Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow, "Just entered and then leave? I doubt anyone would choose that!"
He headed straight for the path on the right.
Suddenly, everything in front of him changed dramatically. A pitch-black space materialized before him, and amidst clanging noises, massive black stone walls fell into place all around him.
They ford a square cage, sealing Xiao Yi within.
Woosh!
Woosh!
Two beams of light fell in front of Xiao Yi. The left transford into a group of elderly, won, and children, while the right beca a host of fierce-looking bandits exuding evil qi.
A hoarse voice echoed in the air: "Choose one group as your opponent, kill them all, and you may proceed to the next level!"
One side held bandits, the other the elderly, won, and children.
If one wished to pass easily, naturally they would choose the latter.
Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders but, without a second thought, walked straight toward the bandits.
Roar!
The bandits' eyes revealed a ferocious look, their glow disappearing, and like unleashed wild horses, they charged towards Xiao Yi. Facing this group of bandits, Xiao Yi showed no rcy, unleashing a sword finger slash that swept through the air.
Woosh!
A silver sword light burst forth from his fingertips.
Wherever the light passed, the bandits were ground into pieces, left without a resting place in death.
And after these bandits died, they turned into glimrs of light resembling stars, swiftly rging into Xiao Yi's body. A glint of understanding flashed across his eyes, "This, this feeling... Is this the power of heaven and earth?"
Those fallen bandits turned out to be manifestations of the force of heaven and earth.
Upon being crushed, this force of heaven and earth rged into his body.
Xiao Yi could distinctly feel his Martial Dao Divine Fruit becoming even more refined, hinting at the forming of a second layer of Dao patterns. He revealed a look of wild joy, "This Cave of Desire actually has such miraculous effects, it seems I really ca to the right place!"
Just as Xiao Yi was about to continue to the next level.
Those elderly, won, and children who he had not chosen displayed warm smiles, their hands pressed together as they directed looks of gratitude and praise towards him.
Woosh, woosh, woosh!
They too transford into a vast expanse of stars, rging into Xiao Yi's body.
Xiao Yi's Martial Dao Divine Fruit possessed nine Dao patterns, with the five elental Dao patterns each representing one of the five elents of the force of heaven and earth, and the Yin-Yang Dao patterns each representing two parts of the Yin and Yang forces of heaven and earth.
Now...
After absorbing these two waves of light, the heavenly forces he controlled each increased by half a part. Experience more tales on My Virtual Library Empire
With a gleam in his eyes, Xiao Yi moved towards the entrance of the second layer that had appeared before him.
This ti, two choices again presented themselves before Xiao Yi.
In front of him...
On the left was Fang Qingzhu, and on the right was also Fang Qingzhu.
An icy voice subsequently rang in his mind, causing Xiao Yi's expression to undergo a sudden change: "..."
