Chapter 1512  Triple Authority

When Xiao Mian appeared again, he was already on the ninth floor of Cheng'en Tower.

The halo disappeared, and Xiao Mian's face changed greatly...

At that moment, Xiao Mian's body shook, staggered, and almost fell backwards.

After taking a lot of breath, Xiao Mian slowly adjusted his breath.

Sitting cross-legged slowly, Xiao Mian calmed down.

It was not that he encountered any unexpected events, but the concentration of spiritual energy on the ninth floor of Cheng'en Tower was too strong, so that even Xiao Mian could not bear it for a while.

Drunken spirit!

It's like drinking too much and getting drunk.

Drunken spirit is a pathological reaction caused by too much pure and too strong spiritual energy that instantly flows into the body of the cultivator, making the cultivator's body unable to bear it.

The cultivators practice Taoism and spend their entire lives trying to find a holy place with abundant spiritual energy, but they can't find it. However, if the spiritual energy is too strong in an instant, it is not a good thing.

Thanks to Xiao Mian's strong body, thick meridians, and rich true essence, he was able to quickly stand firm under the impact of the vast spiritual energy on the ninth floor of Cheng'en Tower.

Otherwise, this spiritual energy impact alone would kill ordinary cultivators!

Even if they survived by chance, they would definitely be expelled from the Du Zun Mansion.

This is the most dangerous test for Xiao Mian after entering Cheng'en Tower...

It can be seen that the concentration of spiritual energy on the ninth floor of Cheng'en Tower has exceeded the standard of this cultivation world.

Xiao Mian, who was born and raised in this cultivation world, would be intimidated.

In other words, this is almost the spiritual world!

Slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air, Xiao Mian tried to slowly release and absorb the surrounding spiritual energy, one point at a time, and continued to increase.

In the end, Xiao Mian closed 30% of the spiritual energy inflow and stopped.

After making sure that he had adapted to the surrounding environment, Xiao Mian stood up and observed the mysterious ninth floor space of Cheng'en Tower.

Apart from the abnormally dense spiritual energy, there was nothing wrong with the entire space.

Not far from Xiao Mian, there stood a cave, and apart from that, there was nothing else.

When he arrived in front of the cave, Xiao Mian looked up and didn't know whether to laugh or cry...

There were two big characters written on the lintel of the cave - humble room!

At this point, Xiao Mian had reason to believe that what was in front of him was Du Zun's private cave.

With Du Zun's identity and cultivation, his cave was naturally unparalleled in the world.

If this cave was still called humble room, where else could it be called a paradise?

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian bowed to the cave first - etiquette cannot be abolished!

Moreover, listening to the meaning of his ancestor's words, it seemed that the unparalleled and supreme Du Zun senior was in this cave!

Although it was difficult for Xiao Mian to understand, the existence of the Fengshen Coffin was a special case.

If Du Zun had been confined to Du Zun Mansion and the top of Cheng’en Tower for nearly ten thousand years, Xiao Mian would not be surprised...

After the ceremony, there was no sound in the cave.

Xiao Mian took a deep breath and put his hands on the two doors of the cave.

He pushed gently, and it did not move.

But at this moment, a spiritual light flickered on the door.

Xiao Mian stepped back a few steps and observed the two doors.

After the spiritual light converged, a figure appeared on the door—Du Zun!

If Xiao Mian was not mistaken, that figure was Du Zun who was admired by thousands of people!

Could it be that these two doors were treasures similar to the Shadow-Reflecting Jade?

Xiao Mian guessed so, and the figure on the door was also looking at Xiao Mian.

"Are you here?"

"Junior greets you..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The figure said impatiently, "Try to open the door first! Otherwise, forget it! I'm not afraid to tell you the truth: you are not the first one to reach the ninth floor of Cheng'en Tower! Before you, there were two people who arrived at the door, but they returned empty-handed..."

Xiao Mian's expression changed when he heard this.

As expected!

He was not the first person to enter the ninth floor of Cheng'en Tower!

But why is it rumored that the highest monk who entered Cheng'en Tower was only the seventh floor, but no one even reached the eighth floor, let alone the ninth floor?

Besides, who were the two seniors who arrived before him?

Xiao Mian was thinking about this when the figure urged him again.

"May I ask you, senior: are all means acceptable?"

"All means - as long as you can open the door!"

"Be respectful is worse than obedience! Junior is showing off!"

As he said this, Xiao Mian did not move, but emitted a black light.

Black cloth!

When it comes to cracking the door control, I'm afraid no one in the world can do it!

Although Xiao Mian also wanted to try to crack the door control with his own strength, reason told Xiao Mian: It's probably not feasible to crack the door control by brute force.

No matter who the two predecessors who arrived here before him were, they were able to pass the test of the eighth-level Five Elements Gate Patriarch, which means that they are definitely not simple.

Even so, they still failed to open the two doors of the mansion.

In this case, Xiao Mian would rather hide his shortcomings than show his ugliness...

After releasing the black cloth, Xiao Mian stayed out of it.

As for the figure, when he first saw Xiao Mian's actions, he was a little disdainful - such means of using external objects have never been valued by the righteous way of practicing.

But soon, the figure found something wrong.

The figure on the mansion door stared at the black cloth with a look of lightning.

A black shadow was seen shuttling back and forth on the mansion door, and from time to time, it would pass through the figure as if no one was around.

Every time at this moment, the figure would become turbulent...

After a long time, the black cloth returned to Xiao Mian's hands.

"How is it?"

"..."

“…Are you hungry?” Seeing the black cloth trembling in his hand, Xiao Mian knew that this guy was most likely taking advantage of the opportunity to blackmail him. However, with the gate of the mansion in front of him, he had to rely on the power of the black cloth. In desperation, Xiao Mian took out a large pile of top-grade spiritual materials for the black cloth to devour, stuffing them in while scolding with a bad temper: "Little bastard! Eat! Eat! Aren't you afraid of being stuffed to death!"

As he said this, Xiao Mian suddenly sensed the existence of the figure.

Looking up, the figure was staring at the black cloth...

At this moment, Xiao Mian's mind flashed with inspiration!

Bad!

If this figure was left by Du Zun from thousands of years ago, it must have some of Du Zun's memories. Would Du Zun know the origin of the black cloth?

Thinking about it again, Guitou and Du Zun are brothers of different surnames.

According to Guitou, when he got the whereabouts of the fairy stone, it was the black cloth that wrapped the fairy stone - therefore, the world did not know the true face of the fairy stone!

But it's not certain if it's Black Cloth...

The figure just stared at Black Cloth, and it's unclear whether he recognized Black Cloth's origin or was surprised by Black Cloth's magical power.

At this point, Xiao Mian was too lazy to hide it.

Anyway, if his guess was correct, the figure was just a spirit left by the Supreme One from thousands of years ago.

Even if it was magical, it was nothing to be afraid of.

At best, it was just a guide for this humble cave...

At this time, Black Cloth had a full meal and burped.

Without Xiao Mian's urging, Black Cloth, who had eaten everything, rushed to the front line again.

This time, Xiao Mian waited for three days and three nights...

During this time, Black Cloth turned into a black light and shuttled back and forth on the gate of the mansion.

After three days, Black Cloth still didn't stop, and the gate of the mansion still didn't open.

Xiao Mian was bored, so he simply sat cross-legged in front of the gate of the mansion.

Thinking back to the time when Hei Bu broke the Bagua formation outside the Du Zun Mansion, it took three years. Could it be that this time, it would take another three years?

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian entered into a state of meditation and began to retreat on his own.

In the previous Cheng'en Tower, Xiao Mian fought with Taixu Zhenren several times, especially in the eighth layer of space, where Xiao Mian narrowly escaped death, but also gained a lot.

As Xiao Mian's first battle after the Nascent Soul, Xiao Mian became more familiar with the fighting skills and application methods of the Nascent Soul realm through the battle with Taixu Zhenren.

Especially under the stimulation of the Great Five Elements Extinction Light of the Five Elements Patriarch, Xiao Mian comprehended the Five Elements Dharma Realm, and he also needed to comprehend it carefully and consolidate it well.

Time passed like running water in Xiao Mian's retreat...

Suddenly one day, with a creak, the door of the mansion opened with a bang!

Xiao Mian, who was in retreat, suddenly opened his eyes and looked directly at the open door of the mansion.

The gate of the mansion was wide open, and the figure that had appeared on the gate had also disappeared...

Standing up, Xiao Mian slowly walked into the gate.

Although there were people who had already taken the lead in the ninth floor of the Cheng'en Tower.

But if the figure had not deceived Xiao Mian, the two predecessors who had passed the test of the Five Elements Sect's ancestor had been rejected even though they had come here.

Think carefully: If it weren't for the black cloth, Xiao Mian would have been helpless!

It took so long to break the door control with the power of the black cloth.

If Xiao Mian were to take action, the only way to break the ban would be violence!

The problem is: the door control here is definitely not ordinary!

Xiao Mian has reason to believe that the two predecessors who entered here before him are all talented and outstanding people.

If they can't open the door control, Xiao Mian will be in trouble!

Fortunately, there is still the black cloth.

Fortunately, the figure did not prohibit Xiao Mian from using the black cloth.

It was as if he also hoped that Xiao Mian could successfully open the door of the mansion...

Perhaps, in that case, his mission would be accomplished, right?

Thinking so self-righteously, Xiao Mian walked through the mansion door and entered it.

There was nothing special about the mansion door, just a small cave.

If you insist on saying that there is something unique, there is an ancient bell placed in the center of the cave courtyard - this ancient bell is the one Xiao Mian had seen before!

At this time, the figure no longer appeared.

Xiao Mian just walked around the cave, and finally came to the main hall.

In the center of the main hall, there was a scroll hanging.

Before Xiao Mian could take a closer look, the scroll moved without wind, and a flash of inspiration appeared.

The next moment, the figure appeared again, staring at Xiao Mian.

"Senior! What other tests are there next?"

"..., no more!" After a moment of silence, the figure said: "You have passed all the tests! You can become my descendant from another generation!"

"Descendant from another generation!?"

Seeing that the figure was speaking seriously, Xiao Mian was surprised and doubtful.

He never thought that the last opportunity at the top of Cheng'en Tower would be this!

Becoming the descendant from another generation of Du Zun, just thinking about it makes people excited - Du Zun, that is the first person in the ages after the ban!

It is the Dugu Sword Demon who appeared out of nowhere 8,000 years ago, known as the invincible in the world, but there is also a prefix, that is, under the ban!

Thinking of Dugu Jianmo, Xiao Mian thought of a possibility...

"May I ask, senior: was the first person to enter this place Dugu Jianmo?"

"Dugu Jianmo?" After being interrupted by Xiao Mian, the figure frowned slightly, as if recalling something, and then said: "I don't know if his name is Dugu Jianmo, but that kid's swordsmanship is indeed at the pinnacle. If he is willing to do his best, he may have a chance to open the gate restriction!"

"You actually gave up on your own initiative? What about the second person?"

"The second person has nothing to say! It's just luck!" At this point, the figure looked at Xiao Mian and urged again: "Since you passed the examination, you will be my successor after ten thousand years. The etiquette cannot be discarded..."

"Senior! It's not that this junior doesn't want to join your sect, it's actually that this junior has been taught by the sect for a long time. Without the approval of the sect master, he doesn't dare to change his sect!"

"This matter is for the safety of this practice world and for the victory of the spiritual war. Your sect master will definitely not blame you!"

"Senior, perhaps you still don't know, who is this junior's sect?"

"Hmph! Come and listen!"

As soon as the figure said this, Xiao Mian had already released the Five Elements Spirit Sword.

The five-color sword light illuminated Liuhe, and the five-element dragon chant resounded in all directions.

This time, the face of the figure changed slightly.

According to what the Eternal Star Spirit said that day, the Five Elements Spiritual Sword is the token of the disciples of the Five Elements Sect - as soon as the Five Elements Spiritual Sword is released, Xiao Mian reveals his identity!

If it were other sects, there would be no difference in Duzun's eyes.

Only this Five Elements Sect is different...

Just because - the founder of the Five Elements Sect is the sworn second brother!

"So that's it! So you are a disciple of the Five Elements Sect!" After looking Xiao Mian up and down again, the figure suddenly asked: "How is he?"

"Senior, you made the God-Sealing Coffin with your own hands. You know that after opening the limit three times, I am the third person to enter this place. In other words, the God-Sealing Coffin you refined back then can no longer be used. My ancestor …”

Xiao Mian paused briefly in the middle of his words.

The figure heard this and sighed.

"In this life, I, Wu Qingcang, will look up to the sky and bow to the earth without any shame. I can only let them down!"

"..."

When Xiao Mian heard this, he remained silent.

Wu Qingcang?

Presumably, this is the unique name!

Could it be that the two people he said were at fault were Shifang and his ancestor?

The three of them became sworn brothers in Jinlan, but what shocking incident happened?

"That's all! Since you are a disciple of the Five Elements Sect and his descendant, I can't win people's love - but it doesn't matter! His descendant is my descendant!"

Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard what the man said.

He originally thought that there had been some trouble between the three of them, so they turned against each other, but now listening to the meaning behind what the man said, it seemed that was not the case.

Thinking back to the words and deeds of his ancestor, Xiao Mian became filled with doubts.

The founder of the Five Elements Sect did not say anything bad to Duzun...

Seriously speaking, if my ancestor turned against Duzun, how could he proclaim himself the coffin of the gods and become the examiner of the eighth floor of Chengen Tower?

On the other hand, Duzun gave the founder of the Five Elements Sect the right to assess the ninth level of Chengen Tower. How could it be an unconditional trust?

Could it be that I am being suspicious?

"Since you are a disciple of the Five Elements Sect, there is no need to change your tune! From today on, this cave, even the Cheng'en Tower and the Duzun Mansion, belong to you!" As soon as the man said this, Xiao Mian was surprised and happy. Somewhat unbelievable. But I heard the man continue: "However, there is no free lunch in the world, do you understand?"

"...Senior, please speak clearly!"

"The Duzun Mansion was built by me to fight the spiritual war and even counterattack the spiritual world. I have devoted all the manpower, material and financial resources in the world. It is the last hope of this world!"

In front of Xiao Mian, the man talked...

Some dusty past events were unveiled in front of Xiao Mian.

Eons ago, at the beginning of the ban, everything was in ruins waiting to be revitalized, and it was difficult to support a single tree.

The Duzun Wu Qingcang, who has dominated the world of cultivation for thousands of years, has collected the best materials in the world of cultivation to build the Duzun Mansion.

On the day Duzun Mansion was completed, Duzun withdrew from the stage of history.

From then on, there was only Duzunfu in the world of cultivation, and there was no one like Duzun!

It is by relying on Duzun's legacy, Duzun Mansion, that this deteriorating spiritual world can survive the catastrophes of spiritual wars one after another.

It can even be said that if there was no Duzun Mansion, the world of spiritual practice would have disappeared long ago!

Now, the ownership of Duzun Mansion is placed in front of Xiao Mian...

According to that person's wishes, if Xiao Mian agrees to take charge of the Duzun Mansion, he will need to go all out to protect the practice world in the spiritual war that is about to break out.

Of course, that's not all!

"Duzun Mansion has three levels of authority, each of which is different!" Staring at Xiao Mian, the man said nicely: "Each level of authority has a very different degree of utilization. What I want to tell you is: the greater the authority, the greater the authority. The corresponding responsibility will be greater!”

"I dare to ask senior: What is the difference between the three levels of authority?"

"Listen carefully..."

The first level of authority, invincible in the world, supreme in the universe!

This is the lowest level of authority. It can only ensure that Xiao Mian's power will not have much influence on the general trend of the world.

The second level of authority, fight against spiritual warfare, and rule the roost forever!

In this case, the Duzun Mansion will almost completely open its doors to Xiao Mian and provide comprehensive funding to help Xiao Mian and the spiritual world survive the catastrophe of the spiritual war.

The third level of authority is to counterattack the spiritual world and live towards death!

When Xiao Mian saw this, his eyes narrowed and his heart trembled...
