James did a cursory investigation of the pagoda’s ground level.
The ground level was not very big with an area of only about 200 square meters. Stone walls surroundedit, and it was hard to identify the material used to make it. The stone walls were red, seemingly heated bythe high temperature within the Pagoda of Flames.
In the corner of the room, there was a stone staircase that led underground.
The others that entered the Pagoda of Flames did not stay on the first level but chose to go deepunderground.
James did not stay idle either. He followed behind everyone and went further underground. Thetemperature on the second underground level was much higher than on the first level. After arriving atthe second underground level, he immediately noticed the sizeable and obvious temperature differencecompared to the first floor.
The heat wave swept over him, and he felt a burning sensation on his skin.
Everyone that entered the Pagoda of Flames were all very strong.
It was unsurprising that they were able to tolerate the energy on the second underground level. Thus,refusing to dally needlessly, they went further down the Pagoda of Flames.
After reaching the third underground level, several of the Ancient Clan disciples chose not to advance toa lower level. The energy was strong enough for them to cultivate. Even though the fourth undergroundlevel had much more potent energy, their cultivation base was limited, and as such it would end up beinga waste as they could not absorb that much energy.
Most people stayed on the fourth underground level.
Meanwhile, the Divine Holy Emperor’s disciple, Harold, chose to advance to the fifth underground level.
Quintina also followed after him.
James did not stay behind either and went along with them.
After arriving on the fifth underground level, Harold found a corner for himself and sat in a lotus positionon the ground to cultivate.
The fifth underground level was sweltering hot.
Even James began sweating from the heat, and his clothes were soon drenched with his sweat. Quintinaalso fared similarly. Although she was a Grand Supernatural, she could feel the heat upon reaching thefifth underground level. However, she still felt that she could continue on to a lower level.
She continued to move down to the sixth underground level.
James thought for a while and followed her.
After arriving at the sixth level, Quintina’s clothes were also soaked with sweat. Her blue dress stuck toher skin and outlined her flawless figure.
She chose to stop here and found a place to begin cultivating.
After she sat down, she mobilized her True Energy, and the scorching sensation was greatly reduced.Her face was red from the heat. She turned to James, who had followed her and reminded him, “James,the sixth level is the limit. You shouldn’t go any further.
“Although you have potent physical strength and may be able to withstand the energy on the seventhlevel, the sixth level is the limit of this place. The levels below the sixth house even more violent energy
and those are difficult to refine. Staying down there for a long time will cause your body to sustainirreparable damage after taking in the violent energy.
James parted his lips and said, “Thank you for the reminder, but I’m still proceeding to the seventh level.”
The energy on the sixth level was potent and suitable for James to cultivate. However, James had manysecrets he did not want revealed.
Therefore, he had to go to a level without anyone to cultivate.
“Anyway, I’ve already said my piece. If something goes wrong, that’s on you.”
Quintina snorted softly with annoyance on her face. She kindly reminded him about the dangers, butJames did not take it seriously.
She voiced her displeasure in her heart, ‘Men are all the same. They’re so stubborn.”
James walked down to the seventh level and reached shortly after.
He felt a very different energy when he reached the seventh level.
The first six levels had relatively peaceful energy suitable for absorbing and refining into True Energy.However, the seventh levely had much more violent energy.
James felt a trace of the scorching energy entering his body.
However, the energy did not cause him any harm.novelbin
His physical body was sturdy, and able to absorb all sorts of energies. The violent energy was ineffectiveon him.
‘I probably can go further to the eighth level,’ thought James.
After mulling it over for a while, he went to the eighth level.
The energy on the eighth level was many more times violent than on the seventh level. James. couldeven see wisps of flames dance through the air. Someone who did not practice body- refinementtechniques could not withstand the energy. This would be too much for even an Immortal Ascensionranked cultivator on Seventh or Eight Stair.
Although James was a cultivator whose physical strength was equivalent to the Immortal Ascension’sSixth Stair, it was still unbearable, and his skin turned red instantly.
His skin was like a soldering iron that was fiery red.
“W-What terrifying energy.”
James could not help but take a deep breath.
He was only on the eighth level. The Pagoda of Flames had 18 levels. It was hard for him to imaginewhat cultivation rank one would have to be to reach the eighteenth level.
Thoryn had mentioned that the Pagoda of Flames was a formation used to seal the bizarre FlameEnergy from the lowest level.
Meanwhile, the Pagoda of Flames’ energy leaked out from the gaps in the formation.
