Chapter 225: Training in the Desolate Ancient Tower

The space inside the stone tower was more expansive than expected. Embedded in the walls were luminous moonstones, emitting a gentle glow that made the tower seem even more vast and silent.

The area was exceedingly spacious, devoid of any noticeable objects, with only the surrounding desolate energy indicating its extraordinary nature.

Upon entering, Xiao Tian immediately activated the Devouring Ancestral Symbol. A surge of devouring power emerged, engulfing the surrounding desolate energy.

As this desolate energy entered his body, Xiao Tian felt his flesh and bones heat up. Simultaneously, a faint humming sound emanated from beneath his skin, followed by the appearance of a golden-purple dragon-phoenix pattern.

This was the Azure Dragon Light Pattern, cultivated to the fourth level of the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique. However, due to Xiao Tian possessing dragon-phoenix blood, the pattern had turned into a golden-purple dragon-phoenix light pattern.

"No wonder it's called the desolate energy!" Xiao Tian rejoiced.

Training here for a while would surely make his physical body immensely powerful.

"Swish!"

At this moment, the Ancestral Stone and the Great Desolation Stele appeared simultaneously, beginning to absorb the desolate energy.

With the powerful devouring of these two treasures and Xiao Tian, the desolate energy on the first floor was quickly reduced to less than half of its original amount.

They continued upward. The higher they went, the denser the desolate energy became, and its color grew brighter, with a dark yellow hue exuding a sense of ancient weightiness.

Naturally, the higher-quality desolate energy provided more significant training benefits.

Xiao Tian's physical strength was increasing at an alarming rate.

By the time they reached the seventh floor, the desolate energy had turned a bright golden color, dense enough to be in a liquid state, appearing like a golden sea.

On this level, even a Death Profound Realm warrior would be crushed to a pulp instantly, unable to escape with their soul.

"Crash!"

Three massive vortices appeared, and the dense, liquid-like desolate energy transformed into torrents, continuously flowing into Xiao Tian, the Ancestral Stone, and the Great Desolation Stele.

As the vast desolate energy poured in, the Ancestral Stone and the Great Desolation Stele began to emit a glow, their vitality becoming increasingly rich.

Simultaneously, Xiao Tian's body surface turned a bright golden color.

A scorching current spread throughout his body, sounding like magma with a sizzling noise.

Xiao Tian could clearly feel his flesh, organs, and bones greedily absorbing the energy, jubilant at the influx of desolate energy.

"Eager!"

Xiao Tian fully activated the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique, and dragon roars echoed within his body. Golden-purple light spread from deep within, devouring the desolate energy.

From the outside, one would see Xiao Tian's body glowing with an ancient hue.

As this hue spread, the speed at which the dragon-phoenix patterns condensed on his body increased.

"Boom!"

Due to their rapid absorption, a fierce wind arose within the space. The golden liquid desolate energy howled and roared like ocean waves.

Soon, cracks appeared in the light membrane leading to the eighth floor, allowing an indescribable ancient desolate energy to seep through.

Upon sensing this energy, Xiao Tian approached the cracked light membrane and peered inside.

"Swish!"

Suddenly, two golden-purple beams of light shot out and were quickly devoured by Xiao Tian's Devouring Ancestral Symbol.

"Buzz!"

Countless strands of golden-purple light transformed into desolate energy.

When absorbed by Xiao Tian, he condensed hundreds of dragon-phoenix patterns out of thin air.

"Do not disturb the Desolate Lord's recovery!" the Ancestral Spirit, Yan, reminded.

"Alright." Xiao Tian nodded and continued devouring the desolate energy on the seventh floor.

When the desolate energy on the seventh floor was nearly depleted, Xiao Tian had already condensed over a thousand dragon-phoenix patterns.

The Ancestral Spirit, Yan, stopped absorbing and said to Xiao Tian, "Alright, we've absorbed enough desolate energy. Let's go find the Thunder Ancestral Symbol!"

"Okay."

Xiao Tian agreed, collected the Ancestral Stone and the Great Desolation Stele, and vanished from the spot.

...

After leaving Martial Gathering Island, Xiao Tian headed towards Sky Merchant City.

He intended to find some refining materials to complete the Blazing Heaven Cauldron. The most powerful array within the cauldron had been used to suppress the demon general, and Xiao Tian needed to refine a new array.

Only a fully functional Blazing Heaven Cauldron would be a top-tier Primordial Treasure.

On his way, Xiao Tian noticed a young girl in a blue cotton dress being pursued.

The girl seemed very young, incredibly cute with delicate features like a porcelain doll, and had two pigtails, making her look very adorable.

At the sight of her, Xiao Tian felt his two Ancestral Symbols move slightly.

Behind the girl were over a hundred robust figures riding blood-colored sharks.

Xiao Tian descended.

Upon seeing him, the girl cried out, "Big brother, please save me!"

Her voice was crisp, like jade beads falling onto a silver plate. Though still immature, it was a voice that would charm many in the future.

"Kid, if you meddle, we'll destroy you!" a man wielding a blood-red trident threatened coldly.

"You're threatening me?" Xiao Tian's eyes flashed coldly, and with a sweep of his immense soul power, the figures turned into blood mist.

After dealing with them, Xiao Tian asked, "Little sister, what's your name?"

"My name is Mu Lingshan!" the girl in blue answered with a smile.

"I knew it!" Xiao Tian's eyes changed upon hearing her name.

After all, she was the transformed Life and Death Ancestral Symbol.

"Big brother, what's your name?" Mu Lingshan asked, her big eyes fixed on Xiao Tian.

"I'm Xiao Tian," he replied.

"Brother Xiao Tian, where are you going? Can you take me with you?"

"I'm heading to Sky Merchant City. If you want to come, let's go together."

Xiao Tian nodded and pointed a finger at her. "I'll break the seal for you."

With a touch, Mu Lingshan's aura surged.

She cheerfully thanked, "Thank you, Brother Xiao Tian!"
