Now that you have betrayed the sect, who will still pamper you?.

Chapter 1422 The Entrance Opens

"It is undoubtedly a pass token."

Fu Guang's voice was excited, his eyes fixed on the tokens, then he looked up with some excitement:

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, we were able to obtain these tokens this time entirely because of your outstanding strength, which allowed you to capture all those demon kings. Otherwise, the three of us would probably have perished at the hands of that Dragon Emperor.”

As he spoke, he looked at the other two people on either side:

"Therefore, I thought we should drop the matter of splitting the tokens equally as we previously agreed. We are willing to offer some treasures in exchange for these tokens from Fellow Daoist Jiang. What do you think?"

Before Jiang Han could respond, Su Qian said from the side, "Of course, we know that the token is precious. Even the most precious treasures cannot compare to the token at this moment."

"But if we accept rewards without having done anything, it will only make us feel guilty. So please, Fellow Daoist Jiang, do not refuse. Let us do our best so that we can feel a little more at ease."

After saying this, Nan Dong stood up, bowed, and said respectfully, "Please, Fellow Daoist Jiang, give us a chance."

Jiang Han glanced at the three people. He could tell that they had discussed it beforehand and were all genuinely trying to give him the treasure.

Although he didn't know why the other party insisted on doing so, the explanation of peace of mind did have some credibility, and he had no reason to refuse.

"Alright."

Jiang Han raised his hand and collected the tokens dropped by the Dragon Emperor and the Vermilion Bird, then said to the three of them:

"The three of you may choose one of these."

Seeing that he agreed, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Instead of taking the token, they waved their hands and released their respective treasures for Jiang Han to choose from.

If someone else had obtained the token, they would not have been so generous in exchanging it with them. Instead, the three of them would have worked together to pressure the other party into splitting the token equally as previously agreed.

But facing Jiang Han, a powerful, ruthless, and somewhat cunning swordsman, they dared not have the slightest extra thoughts.

If they misunderstand something, it would be too lenient to just kill them with a sword; they might even have their primordial spirit extracted and refined into pills, or refined into weapon spirits, forever severing their path to reincarnation.

Either way, it can be called a desperate situation.

Moreover, the situation on the third floor is currently unknown. Making good relations with them beforehand might save their lives at a crucial moment.

Therefore, the treasures the three of them took out were almost all high-level treasures useful to Nascent Soul cultivators, including some top-grade magic materials and various precious natural treasures.

There were even a few high-grade Dao materials that were useful to the Immortal Treasures.

"Heavenly Fire Essence, Wood Longevity Marrow, Pure Soul Glazed Spirit..."

The sword spirit's eyes shone brightly as it pointed to several materials within its dantian and said, "These are all good things containing complete laws. Quickly put them away, and I'll refine a fine treasure for you later."

Jiang Han naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony. His gaze fell on those treasures, and with a wave of his hand, he collected all the mid-grade Dao materials.

His expression immediately hardened, and he looked towards a certain corner: "Soul-Condensing Crystal?"

It was truly an unexpected windfall; he had been thinking of looking for some elsewhere, but he never expected to find them here.

"Fellow Daoist is actually interested in this item. Could it be that you also practice the art of weapon crafting?"

Fu Guang was somewhat surprised. He had noticed something was wrong when Jiang Han was selecting those top-grade Dao materials.

Despite his young age, the other party seemed to be very familiar with these rare and precious treasures. Not only did he select the most precious treasure at a glance, but he could also recognize this uncommon Soul Condensation Crystal at a glance.

It's truly unexpected that Fellow Daoist Jiang not only possesses top-tier swordsmanship and physical prowess, but also has perfected his own laws, and now he has even dabbled in weapon crafting.

I really don't know which immortal clan Fellow Daoist Jiang is a core disciple of. He is so versatile in every aspect, he is simply like a monster.

No, no, he can already refine weapons, could he also refine pills?

"Slightly interested."

Jiang Han didn't say much. He simply raised his hand to put away the Soul Condensation Crystal, then selected some top-grade magic materials. His gaze swept across the area and landed on a crimson jade slip shrouded in sword energy.

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, the three of them wisely refrained from asking further questions and simply smiled and nodded, letting the matter drop.

Following Jiang Han's gaze, Su Qian began to explain:

"This jade slip contains a method of close combat."

She picked up the jade slip and handed it to Jiang Han:

"Fellow Daoist's sword control technique is indeed extraordinary, but when I observed Fellow Daoist Jiang in close combat, he mostly relied on the brute force of the immortal treasure's laws to fight, and his moves were somewhat chaotic."

"After much thought, I guessed that you haven't studied close combat techniques in depth, so I took the liberty of taking out this method, hoping it might be of some help to you."

"This technique is called the Breaking Law Sword Scripture. It is a top-level close-combat sword technique for the Nascent Soul stage. After mastering the basics, one can not only become proficient in close-combat sword techniques, but also condense one's own blood and qi into the eyes to form the Eye of Illusion."

"When facing an enemy, simply use the Eye of Truth to easily see through the enemy's spellcasting network. At a glance, the enemy's weaknesses will be exposed. When making a move, focus on the weak points and break the spell with one sword. Its power is unparalleled."

After saying that, she softened her tone: "Of course, I have only glanced at this method and have not studied it in depth. What I have said are just my personal opinions. As for its mysteries, I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Jiang to figure them out on his own."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Su."

Jiang Han accepted it with both hands, scanned it with his divine sense, and memorized the method.

He hadn't really practiced advanced close-combat swordsmanship; he usually relied on brute force to deal with most enemies.

However, the technique was indeed somewhat crude. Ordinary people could not see it, but in the eyes of these seniors who had undergone tribulation, it was probably already full of flaws.

With this sword technique now, it can indeed make up for one of his major weaknesses.

Moreover, this sword technique seems far more profound than the Divine Transformation Mystic Art of the Purple Cloud Sword Sect, so it must not be a simple Divine Transformation sword technique.

However, it doesn't seem too difficult; you can practice it while traveling.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so polite."

Having forged a good relationship with Jiang Han, Su Qian felt much better and said with a smile, "Now that everything is ready, why don't we try to open the entrance to the third level?"

No one objected, and the three city lords each chose a token and hung it in front of them, connecting with each other through spiritual power and divine sense.

Jiang Han then placed all the remaining tokens in front of him. There were a total of twelve Demon King tokens, nine of which he possessed alone. They were lined up in a row and slowly rotated in front of him.

The four exchanged glances and nodded to each other before simultaneously releasing their divine senses to activate the tokens.

In an instant.

The twelve tokens lit up with spiritual light and spun up, rapidly rotating above the four people. Their speed was so fast that they condensed into a dazzling colored halo in the blink of an eye.

The wind howled, and spiritual energy surged.

At a certain moment, the colorful halo suddenly stopped, and the twelve demon king statues on it leaped out and roared at the sky.

It then opened its mouth and spat out a pillar of spiritual light, which collided with one point and merged into a colorful pillar of light several meters thick, shooting straight into the sky.

Rumble——!

The council hall shattered in an instant, and outside, the sky was filled with swirling clouds and roaring thunder. The entire world trembled under the colorful light.

Within Wanjie City, the earth shook violently, houses collapsed, and the city's protective formation crumbled.

The people in the city looked up in surprise and doubt, watching the colorful beam of light shoot into the sky, tear through the white clouds, and crash heavily into the sky.

A silent roar suddenly erupted in everyone's hearts. The beam of light crashed and spread across the sky, like a ball of hot oil poured onto snow, rapidly melting and breaking open the sky to reveal a ball of silvery-white light hidden behind it.

The surface of the ball of light shimmered with sunlight, undulating like flames. Now, illuminated by the colorful light, it seemed as if a long-dormant immortal was awakening and began to slowly rotate.

A moment later, sunlight shimmered on the surface of the ball of light, and it rose from the void, falling into this world.

Only then did everyone realize that the ball of light was actually a silver-white sun radiating vast divine power!

boom!

An invisible pressure crashed down from the sun, distorting space and shaking the earth, as if this world was about to be destroyed.

Suddenly, the oppressive aura vanished. After a moment of stillness, the sun suddenly shot out a white beam of light, which crashed straight into the city lord's mansion, striking the twelve demon kings before exploding with a deafening roar!

The halo exploded, and the demon king's phantom collapsed instantly, swallowed and merged by the halo, quickly condensing into a white light curtain that hovered in mid-air and slowly rotated.

Heaven and earth fell silent, the sun sank into stillness, and all the earth-shattering commotion vanished, leaving only the circular light screen that gently rotated before the four people.

The entrance to the final level of the Celestial Palace has finally opened!
