Next, all that's needed is to activate the power of the Five Elements to repair the magic array of the Demon-Locking Tower.
As soon as Li Xiaoyao landed, before he could even speak, Xu Changqing took the Water Spirit Orb from his hand and handed it to the Qingwei Sect Leader.
"You are all good children. I have not misplaced my trust in you. Shushan owes its success to you in this crisis. On behalf of Shushan, I thank you."
Chu Yang chuckled, "Sect Leader, why don't we get down to business? Li Xiaoyao and the others have been following us for so long, going to the God Realm and the Ghost Realm."
Qingwei stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, saying, "The reward you deserve will not be less than what you deserve. I don't need you, you little rascal, to remind me."
Chu Yang silently stepped aside and gave Li Xiaoyao a wink, who returned the look with gratitude.
Soon, the five people, including Qingwei, each stood at a corner of the magic battle formation. The five spirit orbs were activated by spiritual power and slowly rose into the air above the magic array.
The power of the five elements surged forth, transforming into rays of light that flew towards the Demon-Locking Tower.
The Demon-Sealing Tower, which had been teetering on the brink of collapse, immediately became stable, and the broken walls were gradually repaired.
A moment later, the repair suddenly became extremely slow, as if the download progress was stuck at 99%.
Qingwei said with a grim expression, "The magic array inside the Demon Locking Tower is severely damaged. Someone needs to go in and repair these arrays so that the power of the five elements can continue to work."
"This journey is fraught with peril; who would be willing to go?"
Without a second thought, Chu Yang shouted righteously.
"Leave it alone, I'll do it!"
The Demon-Sealing Tower is a great place. It's full of talented people who speak pleasantly, and most importantly, it's a place where the Demon-Eating Gu can feast to its heart's content.
The Demon-Suppressing Sword is also a good thing. Since Jing Tian doesn't want it anyway, rather than leaving it in the Demon-Locking Tower, I might as well take it with me.
Upon hearing Chu Yang volunteer, Qingwei did not immediately agree, revealing a hint of apprehension.
After Xu Changqing returned to Mount Shu, he explained to him that Chu Yang might be the reincarnation of the Emperor of Fengdu.
After learning the whole story, Qingwei was still unsure about Chu Yang's true identity.
This disciple's meteoric rise from obscurity to his current meteoric success is comparable only to that of Jing Tian, who is also the reincarnation of the divine general Fei Peng.
Even the exceptionally talented Li Xiaoyao was a step behind.
Aside from being the reincarnation of the Emperor of Fengdu, there seems to be no other explanation.
and……
That ancient sword has a mysterious origin; few people would believe it wasn't a magical artifact of the Fengdu Emperor.
Chu Yang smiled faintly and said, "Why is the sect leader hesitating? Could it be that I am not a disciple of Mount Shu and am not qualified to enter the tower?"
Cang Gu said with a worried expression, "A Yang, your identity is special. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid..."
Chu Yang shook his head and said, "Master, my identity is special and I can't afford to get hurt, but what about the lives of ordinary people? What about the descendants of Nuwa? How can their lives be sacrificed?"
Cang Gu trembled with anger, "Nonsense! You know that's not what I meant!"
Chu Yang sighed and said, "Master, please don't be offended. I know your intentions, but among everyone here, who is more suitable than me?"
Upon hearing this, most people fell silent, but Xu Changqing stepped forward and said decisively, "I am the senior brother, so it should be me who goes to the Demon Locking Tower!"
Chu Yang asked arrogantly, "How skilled are you in array formations, Senior Brother? Are you sure you can repair the array within the Demon Locking Tower?"
Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly fell silent. He knew that Chu Yang had spent the previous ten years or so in the Sutra Repository because he was unable to cultivate. In terms of understanding formations, he was far inferior to Chu Yang.
"That's why I said that the most suitable person to enter the Demon Locking Tower is me, the Sect Leader, Master, and all the Martial Uncles. Now, I don't think there are any other objections, right?"
Chu Yang's gaze swept over Qing Wei and the others, his expression indifferent, as if life and death were nothing more than a trivial matter.
"If that's the case, then go ahead!"
He stroked his beard, his gaze deep and thoughtful.
"With your Sword Saint Uncle guarding the top of the tower, the great demons have already fled down below. It's the safest way to enter."
Cang Gu walked to Chu Yang's side and whispered, "If things don't work out, just go back the way we came. We'll think of another way. We've gathered all five spirit pearls. Is there anything more difficult than this?"
“Demon souls and demons are two different things. Your sword can suppress demon souls and evil spirits, but it may not work on demons. There is another demon-suppressing sword in the Demon-Locking Tower. Try to find that sword first, and you will achieve twice the result with half the effort.”
Chu Yang felt a warmth in his heart. From beginning to end, only his master Cang Gu's attitude towards him had never changed. In the other's eyes, he seemed to still be that frustrated young man.
Just then, Jing Tian hesitated and stepped forward. Even though Tang Xuejian was dragging him along, he still slowly walked up to Chu Yang and said, "Brother Chu, Long Kui is very familiar with the Demon Locking Tower. Why don't I go in with you?"
Tang Xuejian stomped her feet in anger and said, "He's a hero, and you're just a waiter. In such a dangerous place, you'd be the first one to die."
Jing Tian scratched his head and said, "But if something happens to the Demon Locking Tower, wouldn't that affect the entire world? I didn't understand before, but now I do. I also bear some responsibility for this, even if I'm just an ordinary person."
Tang Xuejian found his reasoning reasonable and realized she had no reason to be angry. She gritted her teeth and said, "If you go in, I'll go in too. Am I, the eldest daughter of the Tang family, not as good as a mere shop assistant at Yong'an Pawnshop!"
Jing Tian chuckled.
As soon as the two of them said they wanted to go in, Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru couldn't sit still anymore and clamored to go in with them.
Xu Changqing became restless again.
Chu Yang felt a splitting headache and quickly interrupted the noisy Li Xiaoyao and the others, "The situation of the Demon Locking Tower is special. It's not something that can be solved by having more people. Don't make things worse."
No matter how much they tried to persuade him, Chu Yang insisted on not bringing anyone with him.
Just kidding, I went in to level up my cultivation. If you guys follow me, how am I supposed to level up?
Amidst the commotion, Chu Yang flew to the top of the tower on his sword.
The Sword Saint didn't give him any instructions like Cang Gu Qingwei did; he simply waved his hand and opened the barrier.
Chu Yang jumped through the gap and arrived at the top of the Demon Locking Tower, where the sword tomb that sealed the demon sword was located.
Scattered talismans were everywhere, and the barrier on the high platform had mostly collapsed, leaving only ruins.
Chu Yang, having walked through the ruins, did not enter the next level, but instead entered the Soul Palace first.
The demon-eating gu on his body wasn't enough to clean up the entire Demon-Locking Tower.
Soul Palace.
The one who greeted the immortal hero Chu Yang was still the magical Chu Yang, but today there was also a pirate Chu Yang.
The two looked excited, as if they had made another major breakthrough.
Pirate Chu Yang took a deep breath and said, "Let me go first. Some time ago, Vegapunk's research on the Infinite Energy Engine stalled, so he turned to researching Bloodline Factor technology again."
"I originally intended to change my mood, but I didn't expect him to actually come up with something new. The latest technology can now perfectly combine the characteristics of living things and inanimate things to create an alternative organic life form."
"You know Spandam's rapier Van Klein, the one that ate the 'Elephant-Elephant Fruit'? It's an upgraded version of that, now its scope is no longer limited to Devil Fruits, but can extend to other living things."
The immortal swordsman Chu Yang laughed and said, "For example, the Demon-Eating Gu?"
Pirate Chu Yang nodded and said, "That's right. If all goes well, we can transfer the characteristics of the Demon-Eating Gu to some object and provide it with enough energy. In this way, we won't need to spend so much effort to keep replicating the Demon-Eating Gu."
Magic Chu Yang continued, "Since it's some kind of object, then a magical artifact must be included. After thinking it over, the most likely magical artifact that can be combined with the Demon-Eating Gu is..."
The three of them said in unison, "The Demon-Sealing Tower!"
"Sealing demons, refining demons, and converting their cultivation into power—if paired with an almost limitless energy system, it's practically a fully automated demon-refining machine!" Pirate Chu Yang said, his mouth dry, and he subconsciously licked his lips.
"This is true technology and ruthless skill." Immortal Chu Yang exclaimed, "It's true that timing is everything. I'm in the Demon Locking Tower now, preparing to repair the magic array inside."
Magic Chu Yang excitedly said, "Take the camera robot in and make sure to record the magic array and structure inside. We'll refine it ourselves after we come out!"
Pirate Chu Yang clicked his tongue, "We've really ruined this Demon-Sealing Tower from top to bottom."
Chapter 153. Uncle-Master, you're really unreliable!
153.
The Soul Palace was crammed with shadow clones, working overtime to produce Demon-Eating Gu, but the current stock couldn't keep up with the number of monsters in the Demon-Locking Tower.
We've come all this way, we can't let it go to waste.
The Demon-Sealing Tower has ten floors. Apart from the top floor used to seal the Demon Sword, there are nine floors remaining. Chu Yang is currently sweeping away demons on the ninth floor.
There aren't many monsters on the ninth floor. Firstly, because some time ago, powerful demons rushed to the top floor in an attempt to escape the Demon Locking Tower. Everyone wanted to be the first to leave, which resulted in infighting here. After a great battle, the number of monsters decreased sharply.
Secondly, because they failed to break through the seal, the great demons were driven back to the Demon Locking Tower by the Sword Saint. Disheartened, they took many demons with them and returned to the bottom level, continuing to tyrannize their territory.
The further you go in the Demon-Sealing Tower, the more monsters you'll encounter.
Before long, Chu Yang fought his way from the ninth floor to the seventh floor, even slicing passing ants in half. He was so bloodthirsty that monsters would run away from him.
If it weren't for the critical shortage of Demon-Eating Gu, he probably would have already stormed to the bottom level. Now he can only rest for a while, carefully record the internal structure of the Demon-Locking Tower, and send it back to the Soul Palace.
Qingwei and the others, who were outside watching the situation at the Demon Locking Tower, suddenly changed their expressions, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Why is there no demonic energy left on the upper levels of the Demon-Sealing Tower?"
"What is Chu Yang doing in there? We asked him to go in and repair the magic array, but he's gone on a killing spree!"
"If this continues, how can his body withstand the strain to reach the bottom layer and repair all the formations?"
"You little brat, even if you hate evil as much as you want, you have to consider the bigger picture!"
"We've considered everything, but we didn't foresee his temperament. Senior Brother Sect Leader, what should we do now?"
Qingwei pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Wait a little longer..."
The elders could only watch the Demon-Locking Tower with burning anxiety.
