Chapter 282: Damn It, Who Is Refining the Pagoda Tower?

“Palace Master, Palace Master, please spare my life. I’m Chi Han, a guard of the Mystic Bird Palace!” Seeing Li Yu look at him, Mo Chen was so frightened that his entire body went cold, and he immediately knelt and shouted.

Murong Xingqiao frowned. She looked at Mo Chen and did not seem to know this person. She did not remember Chi Han’s name either.

However, hearing him call her the palace master and a guard of the Mystic Bird Palace, she felt that the person in front of him seemed to be telling the truth.

“Chi Han, I’ve never heard of this name. How can you prove that you’re from the Mystic Bird Palace?” Murong Xingqiao said in a low voice.

Hearing Murong Xingqiao’s words, Mo Chen’s heart was completely broken. It was laughable that he had a crush on her and she did not even know his name.

“The Chaotic Divine Region was once the Great Saint Domain of our Ancient Immortal Realm…” Mo Chen mentioned a few names that only those from the Ancient Immortal Realm knew.

“Back then, when I was defending the Mystic Bird Palace, I was petrified by the demon god of the Demon Realm, Mei Dusha. My stone statue is still in front of the Green Bird Hall!” Chi Han continued.

At this point, Murong Xingqiao could basically confirm that what he said was true.

“Sect Master, can you spare his life for my sake?” Murong Xingqiao asked Li Yu.

Mo Chen had died to protect the Mystic Bird Palace in his previous life. This time, she had begged for his life as compensation.

“Okay, no problem!” Li Yu replied with a smile. He was not a homicidal maniac. If the other party had not offended him first, he would not have attacked.

“Thank you, Sect Master!” Murong Xingqiao bowed with cupped hands. Then, she looked at Mo Chen and said, “You may leave!”

“Yes, yes. Thank you, Palace Master!” Mo Chen kowtowed and thanked him. Then, he stood up and left the Mystic Bird Palace with the remaining experts.

All the infatuation in his previous life had now become delusions, and all those delusions had been shattered by Li Yu’s sword earlier.

Mo Chen was well aware that the Nine Heavens Dark Lady was a woman he could never touch in his life. She was still the same in this life.

Furthermore, after his rebirth, his infatuation in his previous life had faded significantly.

It was just that he had suddenly obtained too many memories of his previous life not long ago, affecting his mind and consciousness.

Now that he had woken up, his new consciousness in this life told him that he did not want to die. He wanted to live.

There were still many possibilities for him to become the Son of Heaven of the Mo Family and a prodigy in this life. He did not want to give up just like that.

…

As Mo Chen fled the Mystic Bird Palace, more than 20 figures stood in the air on a towering mountain 500 kilometers away.

“Is the demon god Yi Xie sealed in this mountain?” The Demon Lord of the Demon God Hall, Ji Xingzi, asked in a low voice.

“That’s right, but to be precise, it’s not on this mountain. It’s in the Pagoda Tower on this mountain. This pagoda is 30,000 meters tall and occupies an area of several kilometers. The mountain we saw is only a part of the pagoda!” A middle-aged man in luxurious clothes said.

If Gongshu Jin was here, he would definitely recognize that this person was the City Lord of Shiyuan City—Gongshu Shituo.

“Pagoda Tower? Tsk tsk, that’s an Ancient Saint weapon!” Another old man with a withered face and shriveled skin sneered.

He was the Fallen Divine Child of the Fallen God Palace in the Netherworld Heaven Immortal Realm.

Other than Ji Xingzi and Fallen Divine Child, there was also a big shot from the demonic path. He was also from the Netherworld Immortal Realm, the Heaven Devouring Demon Cult Master, Mie Chenzi.

“Ancient Saint Weapon?” Everyone’s eyes lit up, and they were tempted.

Ancient Saint Weapons were extremely rare and precious treasures in the various immortal realms.

Furthermore, with the Magic Treasure Rankings hanging high in the sky, there was a high chance that this pagoda could enter the rankings, so everyone was naturally interested.

“What do we need to do?” Mie Chenzi asked. He had already begun to have designs on this Pagoda Tower.

Of course, there was more than one person who had the same thoughts as him.

They were all here to help the Demon God Hall unseal and release the demon god. Although Ji Xingzi had promised many benefits, they could also obtain this demon god’s gift if they could release Yi Xie.

However, as individuals, they naturally had selfish motives and greed. They all wanted to obtain more benefits.

“Help me break open this mountain and reveal the true body of the Pagoda Tower. Then, use your magic power to suppress the power of this pagoda. I’ll think of a way to refine this pagoda and release Demon God Yi Xie,” said Ji Xingzi.

Everyone nodded. Before they arrived, they had learned some things about Demon God Yi Xie from Ji Xingzi. He was a demon god from the Ancient Demon Realm. During the Immortal and Demon War, he was sealed in the Pagoda Tower by the mighty figure of the Immortal World.

“Alright, we’ll break it together with our divine powers!” Fallen Divine Child said with a sinister smile.

…

Inside the Pagoda Tower, Demon God Yi Xie, who only had his Essence Soul left, floated alone in the endless darkness.

He could no longer remember the years. He only knew that he had been sealed here for a long time, so long that he had almost forgotten who he was.

However, he only had one thought in his mind, and that was to escape and regain his freedom.

After he was sealed in this Pagoda Tower back then, he was not alone. There were still many Essence Souls of other powerful creatures sealed in this pagoda. However, after those Essence Souls were devoured by him, his Essence Soul became stronger and lonely.

Over the years, he had tried to break out of the pagoda’s seal time and time again, but he had failed.

After an unknown period of time, perhaps because the Immortal Emperor Tianhao who sealed him back then had already died, the Essence Soul mark in the pagoda dissipated. The pagoda became ownerless, and its power was greatly reduced.

Therefore, he saw a glimmer of hope. Over the years, he had constantly used the power of his Essence Soul to corrode this pagoda. It was like an iron pestle grinding a needle, or like a dog licking a goddess. Bit by bit, he would coax it and refine it.

After millions of years of hard work, he felt that he was about to succeed.

As long as he successfully refined this pagoda, he could successfully break out of the seal and regain his freedom.

Every time he thought of this, an intense desire would ignite in him to support him through this loneliness and endless years.

“I’m almost there! I’m almost done refining this pagoda!” Yi Xie’s Essence Soul roared excitedly.

After countless years of hard work, he finally slowly pried open the door of the goddess’s legs… uh… Pagoda Tower.

His Essence Soul was about to conquer this pagoda and fuse with it completely to possess and control it.

“I’m just a little bit away from successfully branding my Essence Soul into this pagoda and completely refining and controlling it!” Yi Xie was extremely excited. After countless years of struggle, he finally saw the light of freedom.

At the same time, outside the Pagoda Tower, Ji Xingzi, Fallen Divine Child, Mie Chenzi, Gongshu Shituo, and the other experts joined forces to unleash their ultimate moves to blast the mountain in front of them.

Bang bang bang bang…

Amidst a loud rumble, the luxuriant mountain peak that reached into the clouds collapsed with a bang. Countless plants and birds were reduced to ashes by the terrifying magic attack.

After the dust dissipated, the top of the pagoda appeared in front of everyone. However, it was only a part of the pagoda.

Although the Pagoda Tower’s aura and suppression were completely restrained, everyone could still sense a terrifying pressure and inexplicable reverence as they stood in front of it.

“Let’s begin!” Ji Xingzi said in a deep voice. Everyone did not say anything else and quickly joined forces to suppress the power of the pagoda with magic power.

Ji Xingzi quickly began to refine the Pagoda Tower.

“Hmm? It’s been so many years, but the Essence Soul brand of this Pagoda Tower is still there. After Immortal Emperor Tianhao died, this Essence Soul brand should have dissipated along with him!” Ji Xingzi was a little surprised. “However, the aura of this Essence Soul brand is very weak and unstable. It should be easy to erase!”

In that case, Ji Xingzi could directly use his magic power to forcefully erase the Essence Soul brand before infiltrating it with the power of his Essence Soul to refine it.

At the same time, in the Pagoda Tower, Yi Xie’s Essence Soul was suddenly shocked. “What’s going on? My Essence Soul brand… Who is it? Who is forcefully erasing my Essence Soul brand!”

…
