Chapter 518 - 493 Battle Dragon Tower

Five days later.

"Senior, I wish to enter for cultivation."

In front of Battle Dragon Hall, Lu Yan respectfully greeted an elder with white hair with a fist and palm salute.

"You wish to enter Wind God Valley for cultivation? To enter Wind God Valley, it costs a hundred dragon crystals per day."

The elder said.

In five days, Lu Yan had already elevated the remaining four divine-level martial arts of the wind attribute to their highest level. With their mutual enhancement and the collision of insights, his Rule of Wind had made another breakthrough, reaching the Second Void.

However, mastering the complete Rule of Wind was not so easy, even cultivating on the Origin Continent. It required no short amount of time.

Moreover, comprehending rules in the internal space of the Dao Book, using time acceleration, was almost ineffective.

Because to comprehend rules, one must first come into contact with them, experiencing and perceiving them in their environment.

But inside the Dao Book’s space, separated from the outside world, he couldn’t contact any rules, let alone comprehend them.

It can only be said that no treasure is perfect, all have their flaws.

Of course, how could a colossal entity like the Dragon Alliance not have sacred grounds tailored for cultivating rules?

Inside Battle Dragon Hall, there are cultivation sacred grounds specially crafted for over a dozen different rules.

Such as Wind God Valley, Fire God Valley, and so on.

It is said that these places were created jointly by the Alliance Hierarch and the Formation Ancestor, capturing a tributary of the Magic River. Comprehending rules inside them can lead to rapid progress.

"Senior, this is my disciple identification token."

Lu Yan took out the Disciple Command and handed it to the elder.

"So you are the tenth disciple. My apologies for the oversight."

The elder looked surprised, returned a fist and palm salute, then said, "Disciple, you have five free days each month to enter the rule cultivation area. Beyond five days, you must pay a hundred dragon crystals per day like the other disciples."

"Please forgive us, disciple. Maintaining the rule cultivation area also requires a large amount of resources, hence the need to collect dragon crystals for entry. This rule is not aimed at you; it applies to everyone equally."

"I understand."

Lu Yan nodded his head.

Indeed, he had already made inquiries before coming.

"How many days do you wish to enter, disciple?"

The elder asked.

"Five days will do,"

Lu Yan said, since there were five days of free access, he might as well check the effects first.

The elder nodded, took the Disciple Command, and scanned it on a formation plate.

"All set, disciple. Please enter."

The elder returned the Disciple Command to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan took it and stepped into the Battle Dragon Hall.

The Battle Dragon Hall was very large and occupied a vast area, with various different buildings inside.

The dozen or so rule cultivation areas were just a part of it.

"Thunder God Valley, Fire God Valley, Water God Abyss..."

Along the way, Lu Yan saw one building after another.

"Wind God Valley, found it."

Lu Yan stopped in front of a large hall.

Then he stepped inside.

Guards stationed at the entrance of Wind God Valley verified Lu Yan’s identity and let him in.

Behind the grand doors was a pitch-black vortex; Lu Yan knew it was a Space Door.

Stepping through the Space Door, after a dizzying whirl, Lu Yan arrived in a huge valley.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The howling winds seemed capable of tearing everything apart.

Between heaven and earth, myriad colors of the violent winds dominated the view, looking like a river of wind rules had descended here.

Lu Yan’s Spiritual Sense extended out and immediately melded with the Rule of Wind between heaven and earth.

The Rule of Wind here was mixed with the essence of wind rules.

No wonder it was said that comprehending the Rule of Wind here could progress at divine speed. First, you contact the essence, then comprehend the rules, naturally doubling the results with half the effort.

Swish!

Lu Yan took a step, moving with the wind as if his body, too, became a gust, merging with the wind of Wind God Valley, becoming a part of it, conversing with the wind.

His comprehension of the Rule of Wind advanced by leaps and bounds, much faster than when he was using the Flaming Nine-Color Lotus to comprehend the Rule of Fire.

Two hours later, his Rule of Wind took another step, entering the Third Void.

Half a day later, the Fourth Void...

By the end of four days, his Rule of Wind had reached the Seventh Void.

Such a cultivation speed, if the once most powerful figures of Da Wu knew about it, they would be frightened to death.

Soon, the five free days passed, but the Rule of Wind was still stuck at the Seventh Void without completion.

Lu Yan renewed for another two days, naturally spending two hundred dragon crystals.

Fortunately, he had saved all the dragon crystals from the past half-year’s rewards, not exchanging them for Magic Elixirs. He still had six thousand dragon crystals in his account.

Two days later, his Rule of Wind finally made another breakthrough, reaching completion.

"The cultivation conditions of the Origin Continent truly are exceptionally favorable. Compared to Da Wu, that place is merely a drop in the ocean, rightly referred to as a marginal land of filth."

Lu Yan shook his head with a wry smile.

With such cultivation conditions, it is imaginable how numerous the experts of the Origin Continent must be.

"Now that the Rule of Wind is fully grown, why not strike while the iron is hot and cultivate the Earth Rules as well, and then consider the matter of rule fusion..."

Lu Yan mused internally.

Afterward, he brought the divine-level martial arts of the earth attribute to completion, and following the process he used for the Rule of Wind, it took him just over ten days to master the Earth Rules completely.

Then, he began to accelerate time in the internal space of the Dao Book, trying to fuse the Rule of Wind with the Thunder Fire Rule.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed in the outside world, but in the Dao Book’s space, more than eight years had gone by.

Lu Yan sat cross-legged, his eyes blood-red.

After so many years of arduous cultivation, the Rule of Wind still showed no signs of fusing with the Thunder Fire Rule.

I was always just a bit short, unable to grasp the feeling.

"How did you fuse the Thunder Fire Rule last time?"

Little Phoenix asked.

"In a great battle, in a fight to the death."

Lu Yan said, his eyes suddenly lit up as he thought of something, "Could it be that to fuse the Thunder Fire Wind Rule, I also need to do it amidst a great battle, in a fight to the death?"

"Intense battles often inspire one’s infinite potential, especially fights to the death, when one’s life hangs by a thread, one’s potential can often be stimulated to the extreme. You might as well give it a try."

Little Phoenix said.

Lu Yan immediately got up, intending to leave the Dao Book space.

"Hey, Lu Yan, if you’re not using the Dao Book, at least leave me some blood."

Little Phoenix flapped its wings and cried out.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Yan sent a drop of the Three-Eyed Tiger Emperor’s blood flying towards the Dao Book.

After all, he had three hundred drops of this blood.

Over the years, he had only used about twenty drops or so, not even one-tenth of it, he was wealthy and carefree.

"I wonder how Yinuo is doing?"

A tinge of longing surfaced in Lu Yan’s heart.

Half a year ago, Shen Yinuo was taken under the wing of a powerful figure of the Dragon Alliance and was sent to a secret realm for training.

That secret realm, known as the Flame Sky Domain, is an unparalleled place for cultivating the Fire Rule.

And Mr. World left even earlier than Shen Yinuo, having been arranged by senior officials of the Dragon Alliance to cultivate in the Battle Dragon Hall.

It’s said that he has made rapid progress during this time.

Shen Yinuo and Mr. World were both receiving key training from the Dragon Alliance, while he was left to his own devices, as if he were allowed to mess around freely.

Lu Yan smiled to himself and didn’t take it to heart.

Leaving the Disciple’s Residence, Lu Yan headed towards the Battle Dragon Hall.

As its name implies, Battle Dragon Hall is the hall responsible for combat within the Dragon Alliance.

If there is war, the members of Battle Dragon Hall are the first to charge into battle.

Moreover, Battle Dragon Hall also possesses a Battle Dragon Tower, a peerless treasure painstakingly created by the Formation Ancestor and some other high-ranking members of the Dragon Alliance.

It’s an excellent place to train the disciples of the Dragon Alliance.

Battle Dragon Tower has a total of ninety-nine levels.

Each level vast as a world, filled with countless fierce beasts, True Beasts, and even the ability to condense masters of various races through formations.

Those who enter do battle with these beings, honing their combat awareness and techniques, refining their Immortal Skill.

To enter the Battle Dragon Tower, no Dragon Crystals are required. All qualified disciples of the Dragon Alliance can enter freely.

After registering, Lu Yan arrived at a massive plaza.

The plaza was densely packed with stone stools, numbering at least in the tens of thousands when looked upon.

At this moment, there were people sitting cross-legged on over a thousand stone stools.

Above these stones, mysterious runes swirled, enveloping these individuals who closed their eyes and remained still as stone.

To enter the Battle Dragon Tower, it’s not the true body that enters, but the spirit.

Therefore, even if one is killed inside the Battle Dragon Tower, one does not truly fall.

Lu Yan randomly selected a stone stool and sat cross-legged.

Instantly, the stone stool lit up, swirling with countless runes that enveloped Lu Yan.

Lu Yan closed his eyes, and his spirit seemed to travel through time and space, entering a desolate mountain range.

Roar, roar...

As soon as Lu Yan appeared, several behemoths charged out, pouncing towards him, causing a harsh wind to rise and a strong stench to assault his nose, indistinguishable from the real world.

Lu Yan reached out with his palm into the air, and the power of the Rules surged, condensing a battle saber, slashing forth.

Puff!

One of the fierce beasts was cleaved in half, dissolving into a shower of light.

Then, the saber light turned and struck towards the back, slaying another fierce beast.

However, more fierce beasts kept charging from all around, seemingly endless in number.

"Too weak..."

Lu Yan shook his head slightly, not interested in prolonging the fight, and soared into the sky.

This was only the first level, the strength of these fierce beasts wasn’t even at the Immortal level; they posed no challenge to him at all.

When Lu Yan soared into the sky, a vortex appeared out of thin air.

Without hesitation, Lu Yan charged into the vortex.

The next moment, he arrived at the second level of the Battle Dragon Tower.

Of course, Lu Yan didn’t stay there either. As soon as he reached the second level, he continued upwards.

Then came the Third Void, the Fourth Void...

Soon, Lu Yan had reached the eleventh level.

From the eleventh level onwards, the fierce beasts that appeared were at the Immortal level.

But still, they posed no pressure on Lu Yan.

Lu Yan kept ascending.

Once he reached the twenty-first level, the fierce beasts that appeared were comparable to the Immortal Fifth Layer.

Here, Lu Yan finally felt the pressure.

A group of Immortal Fifth Layer fierce beasts charged at him with awe-inspiring might.

Lu Yan’s spirit concentrated intensely, wielding his battle saber, operating the Thunder Fire Rule, and at the same time, unleashing the Rule of Wind, intertwining with the Thunder Fire Rule, striving for fusion.

He plunged into the group of fierce beasts, engaging in fierce combat.

His spirit was strong, and naturally, his spiritual sense was also extremely powerful.

Ordinary cultivators at his level would be exhausted after fighting continuously for a day and a night in the Battle Dragon Tower and would have to exit to rest.

But he seemed tireless, fighting continuously for seven days and nights without any intention of stopping.

His spirit, instead, grew even more excited, and his eyes shone with an eager delight.
