Chapter 1045 Returning to the Demon Sealing Pagoda
After entering the Demon Sealing n''s Grand Library, Yan Hara led Yuan to her room.
"Take a seat. I''ll make some tea for us." Yan Hara said to him.
? A few minutester, she returned with a teapot and two teacups.
"So, what have you been up totely?" She asked him after sitting down and pouring him a cup of tea.
"Thank you." Yuan sipped on the tea a couple of times before speaking, "Nothing much, really. I just ascended to the Third Heaven."
"That fast? If I recall correctly, you''d just ascended to the Second Heaven not long ago." Yan Hara said with slightly widened eyes.
"Yes, and I intend on ascending to the Fourth Heaven as soon as I finish up some business in the Third Heaven, the Demon Sealing Pagoda being one of them." He nodded.
"I see… You''re moving up faster than I''d anticipated. Of course I am notining. The faster you arrive in the Seventh Heaven, the sooner I will get to see you." Yan Hara smiled.
"But you''re already seeing me now?" Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"This ce doesn''t count!" She quickly said.
Sometimeter, after finishing the tea, Yuan asked, "By the way, what''s the situation between the Demon Sealing n and the Demon Sealing Grotto right now?"
Yan Hara lowered her teacup and then said with a dispirited expression, "Not good. Not good at all. In fact, it''s been getting worse."
"Demon sealers from both sides would fight each other whenever they cross paths, and several demon sealers have already died from the drama. At this rate, there will be a full-blown war between the Demon Sealing n and the Demon Sealing Grotto."
"How foolish…" Yuan muttered in a cold voice.
"Huh?" Yan Hara looked at him with wide eyes.
"Neither side will win this war, even if one side beats the other. The true winners will be the demons that will soon return to this world." Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.
"W-Wait a minute… What do you mean by that? The demons are already near extinction! There''s no way they would return!"
"Is that what you truly believe, or is that what you want to think?" Yuan asked her in a calm voice.
"That''s what I truly believe!" She said.
"Then you should change your beliefs, Senior. Although there may not be as many demons today as there were back in the days, they won''t be gone anytime soon. In fact, they''re most likely recovering their forces out there somewhere."
"H-How do you know all of this…?" Yan Hara asked him in a trembling voice.
Yuan smiled and said, "I will tell you the truthter— when I defeat the Demon Sealing Pagoda."
"Defeat the Demon Sealing Pagoda? You couldn''t even get past the fourth floor on yourst attempt, and in case you forgot, nobody has passed that floor since the Divine Paragon— not even the current leader of the Demon Sealing n." Yan Hara said.
"Actions speak louder than words. If you don''t believe me, I will do it right now."
"Sure…"
Yan Hara and Yuan arrived at the Demon Sealing Pagoda several minutester.
"Whenever you''re ready, little founder." Yan Hara said to him.
"I''m ready now."
Sometimeter, Yan Hara paid the resources to activate the Demon Sealing Pagoda.
Once the door opened, Yuan calmly walked into the building.
"Young Master, you should save your energy for the first few fights while we fight for you." Feng Yuxiang said to him.?? ? ??
n ? ???"No, I will challenge the Demon Sealing Pagoda by myself this time. I appreciate your consideration, though." Yuan said to them.
After entering the building, Tian Chenyu''s voice resounded, "Wee to the Demon Sealing Pagoda, young demon sealer. I will now tell you the rules of this ce. If you break any of them, you''ll automatically be removed from this ce."
The voice proceeded to repeat everything that was said thest time he was here, word for word.
Once the introductions were finished, a Superior Demon appeared in the middle of the room.
"When you''re prepared to start the challenge—"
"Ready." Yuan said without any hesitation.
The Superior Demon immediately sprung into action and lunged itself at Yuan.
[Swords of Eternal Torment]
A single golden sword suddenly materialized above the demon, pinning it to the ground.
"Aaaaargh!" The demon released a pained roar.
Yuan casually plunged his bare hands into the pinned demon''s chest, removing its crystal.
After crushing the crystal, the demon stopped moving and disappeared.
"Congrattions, you have managed to pass the first floor in… 9 seconds. It''s a new record."
"Since you have already received a reward from this floor, you will not receive any rewards for clearing this floor."
"You may proceed to the next floor whenever you are ready."
Yuan calmly made his way to the second floor.
"Wee to the second floor. You have one hour and thirty minutes to defeat the demon."
Upon arriving at the second floor, the scenery changed, and Yuan found himself on a tform inside a coliseum with spectators, just like thest time.
"When you''re prepared—"
"Ready."
The moment he started the challenge, Yuan raised the Empyrean Overlord above him.
Ding!
A gust of wind swept the arena as Yuan blocked the Demon General''s invisible attack.
[Swords of Eternal Torment]
Yuan repeated what he did thest time and pinned the Demon General to the ground before destroying its crystal.
"Congrattions, you have managed to pass the second floor in… 11 seconds. It''s a new record."
"Since you have already received a reward from this floor, you will not receive any rewards for clearing this floor."
"You may proceed to the next floor whenever you are ready."
On the next floor, two demons waited for him, both Demon Generals.
"When you''re—"
"Ready."
After starting the fight, Yuan waited for the demons to attack him likest time, but to his surprise, they remained standing there, seemingly hesitant for some reason.
"How boring." He sighed before using Swords of Eternal Torment, pinning them both on the ground.
"Congrattions, you have managed to pass the third floor in… 20 seconds. It''s a new record."
A few secondster, Yuan made his way to the fourth floor, where he was stopped.
