Chapter 1132 Sword Pagoda(5)

"Look! Someone's managed to enter the fifth floor!"

The spectators were in awe after seeing a sword light appear on the fifth floor.

There were currently 10 light sources shaped like a sword within the Sword Pagoda, each representing a challenger.

There were six sword lights on the first floor, two on the second floor, one on the third, and one on the fifth floor.

"It must be that silver-haired man from the upper heavens!"

"What if it's that Xiao Yang?"

"Impossible!"

"If you saw what I saw a few days ago at the Nine Swords Trial, you wouldn't say that." Someone suddenly said.

"What did you see there?"

"That Xiao Yang… He managed to survive all 9 sword strikes from the Nine Swords Trial! In fact, he came here right after passing it!"

This person who had witnessed Yuan's greatness at the Nine Swords Trial revealed this information to these people.

"What?!"

Such information greatly shocked everyone there, as they were all aware of the Nine Swords Trial.

"Are you sure you're not farting?! There's no way someone could have defeated that gruesome trial!"

"If you don't believe me, you can go check the Nine Swords Trial! It's probably in ruins right now."

"He's not lying. I was also there to witness it." Someone else there said.

Thus, the name Xiao Yang began spreading in the Nameless Emperor's Tomb.

Upon entering the third floor, Yuan was given another restriction.

The already dim world suddenly turned pitch black, almost as though he'd entered the void.

"..."

Yuan's body trembled as it instinctively knew what had just happened.

The restriction on the third floor had removed his ability to see, turning him blind and causing his bad memories to resurface at the same time.

However, Yuan didn't despair, as he wasn't completely blind. In fact, he could still see perfectly.

This is thanks to his divine sense, which allows him to see things even better than what he could with his bare eyes.

Yuan began fighting with the masked man who had a rooster mask shortly after. Since this floor's restriction was pretty much ineffective against him, it allowed him to fight at the same pace as the previous floor.

This restriction that forces one to constantly use their divine sense may not affect Yuan who essentially has unlimited soul strength due to his soul cultivation technique, but it was deadly to the others, who will inevitably exhaust themselves from constantly using their divine sense, forcing them to rush through each floor as fast as possible.

Two hours later, Yuan defeated the third floor.

"Will you choose a reward this time, or will you forfeit it again? You can choose between spiritual energy or ten Divine-grade treasures."

'10 Divine-grade treasures? Just how many treasures are in this place?' Yuan wondered inwardly.

"I will forfeit my rewards." He spoke a moment later.

"I understand. Then I shall send you to the fourth floor."

Waiting on the fourth floor was a figure with a goat mask.

<Your body has been restricted by a mysterious force!>

The very next second, Yuan lost all sensation in his left arm.

"So I can only use one arm now, huh? These restrictions are getting more ridiculous." He couldn't help but utter out loud.

"This is just the beginning," said the masked man before approaching Yuan with a movement technique.

'Although his cultivation remains at the peak of Spirit King, his movements are getting better, and he's also more aggressive than the previous guardians. Now that I only have one arm to fight with, I can no longer fight without any techniques. Fortunately, my dominant arm wasn't restricted.'

[Vanishing Ghost's Soundless Blade!]

Due to the increased weight on his body and his crippled arm, he was unable to use his technique at full power.

'I can only exert about 20 percent of its power in my current state…' Yuan sighed inwardly after seeing the effects.

However, even at 20 percent, it was still quite effective against his enemy.

Meanwhile, the people outside the Sword Pagoda watched as the sword light on the fifth floor disappeared.

The door to the Sword Pagoda opened, and a silver-haired young man was sent flying out the next moment.

'Damn it! I was so close to defeating the fifth floor!' Long Chen gritted his teeth in frustration.

After cursing inwardly, Long Chen began sweeping the crowd with his divine sense in search for a certain individual.

'I don't see him… Is he still inside the Sword Pagoda?'

Long Chen looked at the Sword Pagoda to see 5 people on the first floor, 3 on the second floor, and 1 person on the fourth floor.

He turned to look at the group of people in the front and asked them, "Hey, did that Xiao Yang come out already?"

They shook their heads, "No, you were the first to come out."

"Then he's definitely on the fourth floor…" Long Chen narrowed his eyes at the light within the Sword Pagoda.

After taking a deep breath, he spoke in a loud voice supported by his aura, "Starting this point forth, nobody will enter the Sword Pagoda until Xiao Yang comes out! I will slay anyone that dares to disobey!"

"What?!"

It was an unreasonable demand from Long Chen, but nobody there could defy him.

"Who the hell do you think you—"

Some of the newer people there that didn't know Long Chen wanted to fight back, but they were quickly stopped by the others.

"Don't mess with him! He's some bigshot from the upper heavens, and he can kill you with just his aura alone!"

When the newer people learned this information, they immediately gave up on arguing and became silent.

One of many unspoken rules in the Nine Heavens is that one should never mess with someone from a higher realm because messing with even a servant could result in one's entire family being slaughtered, much less a bigshot like Long Chen, who was exuding the aura of a young master from a powerful background.

Thus, nobody else would enter the Sword Pagoda after Long Chen came out. Eventually, everyone else besides Yuan were outside, leaving him alone inside.
