Chapter 1049 The True Purpose of the Demon Sealing Pagoda

DONG!

The moment the golden pagoda landed on the Demon Emperor, a profound ripple permeated the world there, causing it to shake.

However, the Demon Sealing Pagoda wasn't meant to kill the Demon Emperor.

"LET ME OUT!" The Demon Emperor's voice boomed from within the golden pagoda.

Yuan ignored the Demon Emperor's voice and continued to focus on the golden pagoda, pouring his spiritual energy and demon sealing aura into it.

Within the Demon Sealing Pagoda, the Demon Emperor was trying its best to fight back against the demon sealing aura that was entering its body without any resistance.

The Demon Emperor knew that even with its strong resistance against demon sealing aura that it wouldn't be able to last long inside the Demon Sealing Pagoda, one of the Divine Paragon's strongest demon sealing techniques.

However, maintaining the Demon Sealing Pagoda wasn't an easy task for Yuan, who was severely lacking in cultivation.

The only reason he could use this technique at his current level is because of his memories as the Divine Paragon and his experience.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Over the next several moments, the Demon Emperor would try to break out of the Demon Sealing Pagoda but to no avail.

Feeling like a trapped mouse, the Demon Emperor unleashed its limit and strongest technique.

However, before the Demon Emperor could fully unleash its attack, Yuan suddenly made more hand gestures and shouted, "Seal!"

"Ah!"

The Demon Emperor suddenly felt intense pain coming from all over its body, and when it looked down, it noticed many tiny needles piercing into its body.

Before the Demon Emperor could react, Yuan's voice resounded again, "Seal!"

An intense pressure infused with demon sealing aura suddenly flattened the Demon Emperor.

"Seal!"

Golden chains appeared from within the pagoda and chained the Demon Emperor.

"Seal!"

Three flags appeared the next moment and surrounded the Demon Emperor.

By now, half of the Demon Emperor's body had turned into stone, but Yuan wasn't finished just yet.

"Seal!"

"Seal!"

"Seal!"

Yuan repeated the word nine times in total.

After the ninth 'seal', the Demon Emperor was completely sealed.

Yuan deactivated the Demon Sealing Pagoda immediately afterward and began to recover his cultivation.

Half an hour later, after recovering enough spiritual energy, Yuan began charging up for a maximum power Heaven Splitting Sword Strike to finish off the Demon Emperor once and for all.

And just to make sure the Demon Emperor was as weak as possible, he surrounded the Demon Emperor with the Demon Sealing Zone to further increase his chances of killing it in one go.

Once he was prepared, Yuan released his strongest Heaven Splitting Sword Strike yet.

The Heaven Splitting Sword Strike was so powerful that it caused the space there to distort.

A few moments later.

"Congratulations, you have managed to pass the seventh floor in… 1 hour, 20 minutes, and 37 seconds. It's a new record."

"Here is your reward for clearing the seventh stage."

A golden orb of light floated towards Yuan, but it wasn't something he could absorb.

The golden orb of light disappeared once it reached Yuan, turning into a small golden ring.

Yuan smiled when he saw this ring. He accepted it and tossed it into his spatial ring without even inspecting it, almost as though he already knew what it was and what it was capable of.

"What was that ring, Young Master?" Feng Yuxiang asked out of curiosity as he approached the eight floor.

"Something that I will need in the future," he said.

"Eh?! Don't keep us in suspense, Young Master!"

Yuan merely kept on smiling, refusing to tell them about it.

Upon arriving at the 8th floor, Yuan found himself in the middle of an ocean with no land, but there were also no signs of a demon.

"Welcome to the eighth floor."

The Divine Paragon's voice resounded, but he didn't say anything about the clear condition.

Despite that, Yuan remained calm.

"What is going on, Young Master?" Feng Yuxiang asked him.

"You will see in a few minutes." He said.

He then sat down and started cultivating to recover his spent spiritual energy from the previous fight.

Fifteen minutes later, Yuan stood up and turned to look towards the east before flying in that direction.

Half an hour later, Yuan stopped when he arrived before a small island.

After landing on this island, he looked around until he found a jade tablet that was located in the center of this island.

He approached it before giving it a good kick, shattering the jade tablet.

"Congratulations, you have managed to pass the eighth floor in… 33 minutes and 20 seconds."

"Here is your reward for clearing the eighth stage."

"Huh?! What?! What just happened?!" Feng Yuxiang exclaimed while shocked and puzzled at the same time.

Xiao Hua and Lan Yingying felt the same, as they couldn't comprehend what had just happened.

Yuan didn't say anything until after he accepted the reward, which was even more puzzling than the 8th floor itself.

"A scabbard for a sword…?" Xiao Hua mumbled.

"I will be needing this very soon," he said.

"Anyways, the eighth trial is a special one. Unless you know where to go and what to do, it's impossible to clear this floor."

"What…? That means…"

"Indeed. Unless that person has the Divine Paragon's memories or is the Divine Paragon himself, it is literally impossible to pass the eighth floor." Yuan said with a smile.

"What if someone found the tablet by chance?" Feng Yuxiang suddenly asked.

"They still wouldn't be able to destroy it because you need to hit it with a precise amount of demon sealing aura. It won't budge even if you're slightly off."

"Isn't that a little… cheating?"

Yuan chuckled, "The true purpose of the Demon Sealing Pagoda isn't to train demon sealers. You'll understand soon."

Sometime later, Yuan began ascending the final staircase to reach the ninth floor of the Demon Sealing Pagoda.

"T-This place is…" Feng Yuxiang muttered in a dazed voice after seeing the ninth floor for the first time.
