Chapter 586: Entering The Heavenly Seal Tower

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Just like that, the Spirit Seal City South District Sealing Artist Competition came to an end.

The competition had been filled with surprises. First, Ding Badao appeared, despite rumors that he was dead. Next, Ximen Clans’ Ximen Tiechut appeared, and finally, the external help hired by the Bamboo Forest Fort appeared out of nowhere, bringing the competition to a height it had never reached before.

Even after the end of the competition, the rematch between Ding Badao and Ye Mo excited the district.

Organized by Ximen Clan, betting counters had been set at all available locations. The gamblers only wagered dozens or hundreds of Transcendence Pills each, but the Spirit Seal City South District alone had millions of residences. Several hundred thousand people were placing their bets, and, thus, the scope of the bet was something rarely seen in the Spirit Seal City South District.

In a single night, Ye Mo’s name was everywhere, resounding throughout the South District.

At the same time, the conflict between Ye Mo and the Spirit Sky Residence grew more serious.

For the match in three days, the Spirit Sky Residence would definitely try their best to increase Ding Badao’s strength. It might not be an easy battle after all.

Ye Mo already had sufficient strength to defeat Transcendence Fourth Realm experts. But Ding Badao had a unique Transcendence Golden Body. If it weren’t for his low supply of true energy when Ye Mo faced him, the match wouldn’t have been won so easily.

But, before the match, Ye Mo had a chance to enter the Heavenly Seal Tower. Perhaps he could increase his strength there. With that, he would have absolute confidence in defeating Ding Badao again.

At noon the next day, Ye Mo and Xia Shiyun were led by Fu Qian to a massive pagoda. The pagoda had 10 levels, and each level had eight corners. On each corner, a seal hovered, looking mysterious and enigmatic.

This treasured pagoda was located in the middle of the Spirit Seal City.

“This Heavenly Seal Tower is supervised by the Sealing Artist Union,” Fu Qian explained before they entered. “There are 10 levels, and all the seals within are eighth-order seals, also known as heavenly seals. On the first floor, you can see first-tier seals. On the second floor, there are second-tier seals, and it goes on, all the way to the ninth floor. You’re all free to look around, but I advise you to not force yourself to visit the 10th floor. No one had ever entered the tenth floor and come out sane.”

“Noted, Master Fu Qian.” Ye Mo and Xia Shiyun nodded.

Fu Qian was a master from the Sealing Artist Union. He would be the one in charge of opening the Heavenly Seal Tower this time.

“Alright, you may enter the Heavenly Seal Tower now,” Fu Qian said. “Make good use of this chance to study the seals. Although your cultivation might remain the same, if you can comprehend even a tiny bit of the seals, it will be greatly beneficial for your future cultivation and sealing skills. You only have one day inside. How much can you benefit from this one day will depend entirely on yourself.”

As Fu Qian spoke, a seal in his hand turned into a key that flew straight at the tower’s entrance.

The Heavenly Seal Tower started shaking crazily as the thick door opened slowly.

“Let’s go in,” Ye Mo said. He and Xia Shiyun entered the Heavenly Seal Tower together.

“Miss Xia, have you been into the Heavenly Seal Tower before?” Ye Mo asked.

“No, this is the first victory ever for the Bamboo Forest Fort, thanks to you,” Xia Shiyun explained. “Last year, Ding Badao comprehended that powerful saber technique of his after entering the Heavenly Seal Tower. After that, he participated in an extremely difficult mission and it was rumored that he was killed.”

“He comprehended his saber technique from the Heavenly Seal Tower?” That interested Ye Mo. He stepped into the first floor of the Heavenly Seal Tower. On the first floor, nothing seemed weird or out of place. The room was brightly lit.

But the circular space was filled with hanging seals, each of them about 2.1 meters in length and 1 meter in width.

Ye Mo scanned the room and saw that the seals hanging everywhere weren’t really heavenly seals. Rather, they were fabrications of heavenly seals. They were all copies.

But the runes on the seals were all true runes of heavenly seals. Even if these were copies, if one could comprehend even a tiny bit of the great dao contained within the runes, it would be a great gain.

“These seals are too profound. I can’t understand any of it. Heavenly sealing artists are existences that don’t even exist in the Zone of Seals.” Xia Shiyun shook her head as she looked at the copied seals. She couldn’t even understand these copies. If these were actual heavenly seals instead, a single gaze would have probably trapped her entire being inside the seals.

“Miss Xia, of course, you can’t comprehend it using your eyes. Use your mind, and don’t focus purely on the lines of the ruins,” Ye Mo reminded her. “These are all copies so you don’t have to worry about any backlash.”

When Xia Shiyun heard that, her eyes lit up and she said, “Thank you for the reminder. These seals are all copies. They won’t be too powerful and it’s possible to use my mind to study it, instead.”

At the thought, Xia Shiyun sat down cross-legged and started studying the heavenly seals on the first floor.

When Ye Mo saw how serious Xia Shiyun was, he smiled. He had long scanned all the seals on this floor with his mind. Although they were all incredibly profound, all that was here were the shapes of the seals with none the power. If these were actual heavenly seals, Ye Mo might be able to learn something from them.

The only reason Ye Mo would have that feeling was because of the Zhu Immortal Imprint he had within him. Although these copies weren’t real heavenly seals, if one used the mind to study them, they could still be rather powerful. For example, the seals here on the first floor were in fact as powerful as fourth-order first-tier seals.

Since Ye Mo felt like the seals here were all shapes and no power, he decided to head to the second floor instead. On the second floor, he had the same feeling. He only started feeling a tiny bit of pressure upon reaching the fifth floor.

“My mind is only affected after reaching the fifth floor. Looks like I can use this chance to temper my mind, helping the Heart Minion to solidify his body.”

Ye Mo selected the strongest seal in the room and sent his Heart Minion straight toward that seal.

Upon entering the seal, Ye Mo sensed bolts of lightning tearing the world around him apart. Within the bolts, he could feel the power of the five elements. This was the Transcendence Tribulation. This seal must have been created to imitate a Transcendence Tribulation.

The Heart Minion’s face fell when he saw this. This wasn’t a Transcendence Tribulation with only the power of one of the five elements. Rather, it had the power of all five elements combined into one. It was far more powerful and couldn’t be countered by any elements. The Zhu Immortal Imprint surfaced on the forehead of the Heart Minion as the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation spread out from it, transforming into a hard barrier of seals.

Even so, when the Transcendence Tribulation slammed down on the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation, they sent out ripples as the absolute defense started collapsing.

Within the collapsing magical formation, the Heart Minion’s face fell. Seals rose from within the magical formation. They were all heavenly seals, the heavenly seals he had seen thus far from the first to the fourth floor, and they had all been recorded by the Zhu Immortal Imprint. The seals transformed into a surging power that swirled around the seal barrier. The collapsing seal barrier started regrowing and became even more powerful.

The terrifying Transcendence Tribulation with the power of five elements slammed down on the barrier again. This time, it failed to deal any damage and was instead absorbed by the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation. The absorbed power gathered in the Heart Minion’s body, and, as the Heart Minion started consolidating the power, his body started solidifying.

Within the Zhu Immortal Magical Formation, the vast five elements power converged in the Heart Minion, shrouding his body with a faint golden radiation and causing the Heart Minion to start emitting a slight trace of Transcendence Qi.

The appearance of the Transcendence Qi was the sign of a breakthrough into the Transcendence Realm!
