The Eight Eyes Wind Direction Swordsman
Chapter 7. LEVEL UP
The snow orchid pill was absorbed quickly and its essence had already spread throughout the entire bloodstream within Shen Zhou's body. The essence of the snow orchid pill formed a blue aura enveloping Shen Zhou's body like grains of snow. He was trying to balance the hot chi energy from the Heaven's Path Sword energy Zhu Que.
If it manages to balance the energy, it is not only Shen Zhou's body that survives the explosive rampage of Zhu Que's sword chi energy. But also, it was likely that Shen Zhou was able to master the seventh level of the heaven-step sword style, the Heaven Sword Bai Hu.
She Zhou kept his eyes closed. Trying to concentrate fully balances the two energies that collide with each other, namely cold energy and heat energy.
The cold energy of the snow orchid pill strengthened the demonic energy within Shen Zhou dantian. While the heat energy from the Sword energy Zhu Que now dominated his dantian, was the god energy.
Seconds after seconds Shen Zhou continued to balance the two opposing energies. Scrolls of sweat soaked all over his body and made his blue-black dress soaked in drenched.
“Fyuh, it's really hard. This book is hard to learn. In order to learn the style of the Heaven Sword Bai Hu alone needed a lot of sacrifices and a lot of time. It was fortunate that the Fingered Devil had given me his energy. Otherwise, a single sword could take decades,” Shen Zhou grumbled inwardly.
...JDAR!...
Black clouds rolled over the Pagoda, giving off white lightning that was earthy to each other. Everyone in the Han Empire shuddered in horror including Emperor Lu Shao.
It was only the first time that such a heavenly calamity had occurred in the skies of the Han Empire, that the Nirvana Realm was envious of one of the cultivators strength that would rise in rank.
Shen Zhou's body resonated with the lightning called the Silver Dragon Resurrection Lightning. Lightning that greeted a cultivator with strength above reason.
...BOOM!...
The first Silver Dragon Resurrection Lightning Slash struck the Golden Finger Pagoda and caused a fluctuation of air accompanied by an extremely bright light that was visible from all eyes adjacent to the Golden Finger Pagoda.
Hua Tuo who was in the vicinity of the Golden Finger Pagoda immediately jumped back to get as far away as possible. In order not to be hit with a bolt of Silver Dragon Resurrection Lightning.
...BOOM UP! BOOM!...
The silver Dragon Resurrection Lightning continued to snatch the Golden Finger Pagoda nonstop for up to a month. To the extent that all the disciples in the Holy Moon academy were used to hearing the sound of such a powerful explosion.
Hua Tuo, who was worried about Shen Zhou, left her alone in the Golden Finger Pagoda for a month.
...BOOM UP! BOOM!...
The muffled explosive sound from within Shen Zhou's dantian sounded extremely powerful. Shen Zhou's bone level rose from an ordinary bone level to an earth bone. Even his cultivation level rose from a nine-star disciple to a one-star war warrior.
His clothes were tattered leaving only his pants alone. Shen Zhou opened his eyes, “Finally I went up a level and managed to learn the seventh level heaven sword Bai Hu's Heaven Sword. I'll be going up to the second floor soon.”
Shen Zhou darted to the second floor which had a gravitational pull 2 times that of the first floor, but, that was no big deal to Shen Zhou.
Inside the second floor, many wooden human puppets were standing upright without spirits. However, after Shen Zhou's feet passed through the thin red line installed at the entrance of the second floor, the wooden human puppet moved with fiery red eyes.
The dense purple chi aura that enveloped the bodies of all the wooden puppet humans added to a blaze. It was not that Shen Zhou was afraid of that intimidating aura of darkness, Shen Zhou instead smiled widely and impatiently wanted to try out the prowess of Bai Hu's Heaven Sword.
Shen Zhou created a sword from his blue chi energy, the shape of which was the same as Zhu Que's Sword. However, it is just a different color.
Shen Zhou slashed down every wooden human puppet like dancing in an extremely beautiful gesture. In just a few breaths of time, all of the frozen wooden puppet humans were imprisoned in a huge ice lump.
“Cih, weak dare you fight me.,” sneer Shen Zhou stared cynically at all the wooden human dolls.
“Now it's your turn, Heaven Sword Zhu Que!”
From the void behind Shen Zhou's back appeared Zhu Qe's Sword. It flew away quickly, then spun like a top and cut off all the frozen wooden human puppets.
...SLASHY! SLASHHAT!...
Zhu Que's Sword Pieces were extremely neat, even like there were no scratches at all on the body of the chopped wooden human puppet. The door leading to the third floor opened and Shen Zhou wasted no time, instantly darting towards the third floor.
Inside the third-floor room, the gravity pressure was four times that of the second floor. However, it was still not a problem for Shen Zhou who had already raised his bone level to the earth level.
...BAM!...
The ten-meter-tall wooden human puppet struck Shen Zhou. Quickly, he crossed his hands in the chest to deflect the blow and make it backward, namely the legs backwards rubbing against the floor surface.
Shen Zhou's back almost hit the wall of the third-floor room. Before that happened, he jumped up and used both of his legs against the wall to dart towards the giant wooden human puppet.
Shen Zhou arrived near the body of the giant wooden human puppet. He slashed diagonally with Bai Hu's Sword until it passed through his body.
...SLASHHAT!...
The white silhouette lines were clearly visible on the body of the giant wooden human puppet and made its body beheaded obliquely. Instantly the doll also collapsed onto the floor surface. It even creates a fairly loud, ear-shaking explosive sound.
...BOOM!...
Smoke and dust blocked the view. The door to the fourth floor opened and Shen Zhou dashed swiftly up the stairs towards the fourth floor.
Inside the fourth floor, Shen Zhou quickly defeated his guards. Guard figures in the form of giant human dolls with more numbers.
Floor by floor Shen Zhou passed easily even as the upward pull of gravity grew stronger. Up to the last floor, the tenth floor. Shen Zhou easily finished off his guard who was in the shape of a giant stealthy toad.
It did not feel like it had been six months for Shen Zhou inside the golden Finger Pagoda and had managed to subdue each floor. His cultivation level also rose very sharply at the level of a nine-star war warrior.
Shen Zhou's exit from the Golden Finger Pagoda brought happy news to the Holy Moon academy. But that happiness was only for a moment, the Han Empire was at war with the Wei Empire. There have been many casualties from both sides estimated at hundreds of thousands of soldiers over the past 5 months.
The worst news was that Prince Lu Bu died in the war. That made Crown Princess Diao Cha very hard hit. She even became a flower widow, a widow who had never been touched or enjoyed the crown of her virginity by the husband.
The Wei Imperial Warriors had already taken control of the Western Earth Kingdom and were heading towards the center of the Imperial city of elder Hua Tuo along with the elders of the Holy Moon academy. Several sect disciples from all over the Empire sect were on guard at the border, to face the troops from the Wei Empire.
Will Shen Zhou manage to put a damper on the mess?
