Venerable Martial Emperor

The next day, when Xu Feng woke up, he had a splitting headache. This was his first time drinking wine, and the amount of wine he drank was not small, so it was inevitable that there would be side effects.    

    

He got up to adjust the veins in his entire body, but he found that his control of Yuan energy seemed to be more precise, and he was able to control it with ease.    

    

"Could it be because of Zhao Loong's wine?"    

    

Xu Feng was puzzled. If that was the case, he owed him another favor. This wine actually had such an effect!    

    

After a simple wash up, Xu Feng began to practice martial arts in the courtyard. The wind and rain did not change. This was his cultivation path!    

    

Jiang Haojing and Qingshan actually personally came to Xu Feng's residence. When they saw Xu Feng practicing martial arts, they did not say anything to stop him. The two of them stared unblinkingly at the young man in the courtyard, their eyes filled with admiration.    

    

"It seems like Xu Feng is not only talented, but also not slacking off in terms of hard work. He is truly a genius!"    

    

Jiang Haojing said with a smile while wearing a green robe.    

    

"Of course. Old Jiang, we have accepted a good disciple!"    

    

Taoist Master Qingshan touched his goatee and laughed out loud. Being able to take in a good disciple was the fate of the world. It was a matter of time before the day arrived. After all these years, he had finally found a good disciple.    

    

Xu Feng was sweating profusely. In the blink of an eye, three hours had passed. He was fully immersed in his martial arts. Regarding Jiang Haojing and Qingshan's carelessness, he did not have the slightest taste.    

    

Recovering all the Yuan energy in his body, Xu Feng hurriedly ran over. He cupped his hands and said respectfully, "Master, disciple has gradually entered a good state. I have neglected the two masters. I hope Master can forgive me."    

    

"Haha, disciple is diligently cultivating. Of course Master will not blame me."    

    

Facing Xu Feng, Jiang Haojing always had the appearance of a smiling senior.    

    

But he changed the topic!    

    

"We have come this time because we have something very important to discuss with you."    

    

A puzzled look flashed across Xu Feng's eyes. The two masters came to him at the same time. They definitely did not want to teach him alchemy or martial skills, but he could not think of a reason at that moment.    

    

He led the two masters to the courtyard and sat down to make a pot of good tea. Xu Feng quietly waited by the side for Jiang Haojing to finish his unfinished words.    

    

"Xu Feng, we came this time for the Purple Sun Martial Arts Academy's Black Tower!"    

    

Jiang Haojing immediately explained the purpose of his visit. The Black Tower was one of the foundations of Purple Sun Martial Arts Academy. After the Nourishing Mystery Realm collapsed, Jiang Haojing and Qingshan placed the fated person who solved the mystery of the Black Tower on Xu Feng.    

    

Now, they came here because they had thought carefully and decided together.    

    

"This Black Tower's name is Buddha Pagoda. It's rumored that it's a weapon used by a powerful expert. It's now only the place where the martial arts are stored and the rewards are received in Purple Sun Martial Arts Academy. But no one knows its true use. At the top floor of the pagoda, which was the tenth floor, after the collective efforts of generations of ancestors, no one broke through it. Understand the secrets inside! "    

    

Taoist Master Qingshan followed Jiang Haojing's words and told him the secret of the Black Tower. The Black Tower was not considered a secret in Purple Sun Martial Arts Academy, and everyone knew about it. But only Qingshan, who guarded the Black Tower, knew that Buddha Pagoda's use wasn't limited to this. Only by unraveling the secrets of the tenth floor of Buddha Pagoda could his true use be fully displayed. It wasn't a simple storage room.    

    

"Could it be that Master wants me to enter the Buddha Pagoda?"    

    

Xu Feng asked in confusion. There were so many people who didn't succeed, so why did the two Taoists find him in such a remote place?    

    

"That's right!"    

    

Qing Shan pondered for a moment and continued, "The rust you obtained in the Black Tower came from the tenth floor of the Buddha. Only those who are fated to obtain the rust would obtain it. There were also people who had obtained it before. However, they didn't successfully know the secret of the rust, so we unanimously agreed that... You will be the fated one."    

    

Xu Feng had long wanted to explore the Black Tower. He had obtained the Flaming Palm and Great Destruction Spell, each martial art. Especially the Grand Nirvana Art. The Gray Essence Strength was tyrannical and overbearing. Under the circumstances where there was a difference of a few small realms between them... * Hong Long...... *    

    

"If there are other powerful martial arts in it..."    

    

Xu Feng didn't dare to think about it. If he could obtain another Profound Level martial art, his strength would become even stronger. At that time, his chances of winning against Zhou Tengfei would also increase.    

    

Thinking of this, Xu Feng said without hesitation, "Alright, I'll go and explore the tenth floor of the pagoda!"    

    

"Oh... Xu Feng, although the secret of the Buddha Pagoda is important, it's full of unknowns. If there's any danger, it's better to keep your life!"    

    

Taoist Master Qingshan looked at Xu Feng with a serious face. No one knew about the situation of the tenth floor of the Buddha Pagoda. He didn't give Xu Feng a better opinion. He just hoped that... Xu Feng was safe and sound in the tenth floor of Buddha Pagoda. It was good that they could uncover the secret, but in the eyes of Jiang Haojing and Qingshan... Xu Feng's life was more important than anything else.    

    

"Yes, Master!"    

    

Xu Feng could only engrave the care and concern of these two masters in his heart. At the same time, he also hoped that he could solve the mystery of the Black Tower to repay the teachings of these two masters.    

    

Three days later, Xu Feng, Jiang Haojing, and Qingshan stood in front of the door to the tenth floor of the Black Tower with solemn expressions.    

    

"Let's begin!"    

    

Jiang Haojing gave an order and gathered Origin Energy on his palms, pushing it towards the door. Green Mountain, the Yuan energy on Xu Feng's body burst forth. It was an endless stream of Yuan energy. He kept pouring it into his palms, trying to push open the thick door to the tenth floor of Buddha Pagoda.    

    

However, the door remained the same. The black door emitted a gloomy aura. It had completely devoured Jiang Haojing and the other two men's Yuan energy. However, it didn't budge an inch, even the crack of the door. There was no sign of loosening at all.    

    

The door was like a bottomless pit. Soon, the three of them were exhausted and panting. They sat down and breathed heavily.    

    

"Are we going to fail again this time?"    

    

Taoist Master Qingshan took a deep look at the door of the tenth floor of Buddha Pagoda. His eyes were filled with unwillingness as he muttered to himself.    

    

They had no idea how many times they had tried to push open the door and peek at the secret behind it, but every time, they had failed.    

    

They had thought that there would be a glimmer of hope when they called Xu Feng over, but the door of Buddha Pagoda was still tightly shut!    

    

"Could it be that our method was wrong?"    

    

Jiang Haojing wasn't sure either. Under the tenth level of the Buddha Pagoda, Yuan energy was used to stimulate the energy in one's body. When the door was pushed open, the seal would be unsealed. Logically speaking, this was the same method used in the tenth level of the Buddha Pagoda, so there shouldn't be any mistakes.    

    

After saying that, the two Dao Masters looked at Xu Feng at the same time.    

    

"Xu Feng, did you discover any secrets about this Buddha Pagoda from that rusty metal plate?    

    

Xu Feng carefully read his martial arts in his heart. Except for the rusty metal plate that came from the Supplementary Pagoda, the martial arts contained in it did not seem to mention anything about the Buddha Pagoda.    

    

Wait!    

    

Xu Feng seemed to have thought of something and immediately stood up.    

    

"If it's using Yuan energy to unlock the seal of Buddha Pagoda, then the only possible thing is the Yuan energy that has been tempered by the Great Destruction Spell."    

    

Xu Feng circulated the Yuan energy that was refined by the Great Destruction Spell in his body and placed it on his hands. The grey Yuan energy wrapped his hands layer by layer and placed them on the door of the Buddha Pagoda.    

    

"Jiya!"    

    

This time, the Buddha's gate seemed to loosen a little. A sharp sound was heard from the gate.    

    

This sound was like an immortal music to Jiang Haojing and Qingshan's ears. The door of the tenth floor of the Buddha Pagoda, which had been silent all year long, actually had a slight sound!    

    

They immediately stood up from the ground and stared at the door in front of them.    

    

"There's a reaction!"    

    

Xu Feng seemed to have felt the response from the door. He urged the Gray Essence Strength in his body and injected it with an even crazier aura.    

    

The door was like a deep abyss. It absorbed all the Gray Essence Strength without any hesitation. However, Xu Feng discovered the effect of the Gray Essence Strength.    

    

When the three of them struck the door with their Yuan energy, it was as if they had hit a piece of cotton. There was no response. But this time, after the door absorbed the Gray Essence Strength, it began to slowly loosen up, revealing a tiny crack. Xu Feng could vaguely see the world behind the door!    

    

There was a dark world inside, with a gloomy atmosphere leaking out. It made people feel a chill run down their spines. There was also a faint blue light that slowly floated in the air, giving off a strange feeling in this gloomy space.    

    

Xu Feng extended the Mental Strength. He wanted to see what kind of secrets were hidden inside, but once the Mental Strength was released, he felt a sharp pain in his sea of consciousness. He had no choice but to withdraw the Mental Strength from the outside.    

    

"Puff!"    

    

At this moment, Xu Feng had already suffered a slight injury. He couldn't help but take a few steps back and spit out a mouthful of blood.    

    

"Xu Feng, how are you?"    

    

When he saw Xu Feng's hand, Jiang Haojing was the one who was the most worried.    

    

"Master, I'm fine."    

    

Xu Feng waved his hand, signaling the two masters not to worry. He sat down cross-legged and started healing the injuries in his sea of consciousness.    

    

At that moment, Xu Feng didn't even feel that something was attacking him. His mind went blank. When he woke up, he was already injured.    

    

Someone who could attack his sea of consciousness directly, the Mental Strength was definitely higher than Xu Feng's Mental Strength. Because this kind of collision of consciousness was the most dangerous. If the Mental Strength had a backlash, it would immediately turn into an idiot. Of course... If there was a huge difference in strength, it would turn into an idiot if it was attacked.    

    

And without the support of the Gray Essence Strength... The tenth floor of the Buddha Pagoda had been closed once again, and the door had been restored to its original calm state.    

    

"If you want to open this door, the Gray Essence Strength is the key!"    

    

Xu Feng finally understood the method to open the gray door. He no longer had any worries in his heart. It was only a matter of time before he entered.
