446: Chapter 424: The Divine Skills of the Demon Suppression Pagoda_1 446: Chapter 424: The Divine Skills of the Demon Suppression Pagoda_1 “I never imagined the power of the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint to be so terrifying, it actually enable me to directly breakthrough to the Grade 3 Nascent Soul Realm.

Normally, once a Cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul Stage, their cultivation speed slows down significantly.

Each upgrade in rank could take ten or even dozens of years.

Even with my True Dragon Destiny, which makes my cultivation speed far exceed that of ordinary people, it should not have been possible for me to break through so casually as before.

In a sense, the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint truly did me a great favor this time,”

Lu Chuan felt the surging power within him and a sense of overlooking the world arose in his heart.

This was the confidence that came with formidable strength.

He felt that with his current strength, he could walk sideways through the entire secular world without anyone being able to stop him.

Even the Censorate Department seemed beneath his notice.

Of course, that would be another matter if there were any hidden supreme experts within the Censorate Department.

He looked inward at his Dantian and saw that his extremely solid Nascent Soul was now emitting strands of golden light.

It was the appearance of these golden lights that made his Nascent Soul extraordinary.

His presence alone could outshine other Nascent Soul skillful experts of the same rank by leaps and bounds.

“Once I reach the Grade 9 Nascent Soul Realm, my Nascent Soul is likely to completely turn golden.

I wonder if a golden Nascent Soul would be unique in the entire Immortal Cultivation World,”

He no longer marveled at the rapid progress of his strength.

Instead, he turned to question the Tower Spirit, “The Nine Spirits Primordial Saint gave me so much strength and even helped me break through two grades in succession.

Is the price really just a string of candied hawthorn?”

The Tower Spirit’s voice sounded, “Not just one string, but several strings.”

Lu Chuan, “…”

The Tower Spirit said, “I also don’t understand what its intentions are, but as it seems now, it really bears no ill will towards you.

You might as well just assume it genuinely wants to eat candied hawthorn.

After all, the power it has bestowed upon you is astounding, yet to it, that amount of power might truly be less valuable than a string of candied hawthorn.”

Lu Chuan nodded.

He knew it was pointless to dwell on these matters, and it was better to think simply.

Perhaps the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint just had a simple fondness for candied hawthorn.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered something and asked, “Right, why does the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint communicate with me through you, rather than directly with me?

After all, I am the master of the Demon Suppression Pagoda.”

The Tower Spirit spoke indifferently, “It’s not that I look down upon you but, even though you are now a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, you have only just truly started on the path of cultivation.

With your current level of strength, you are not yet capable of bearing the divine spirit’s divine will.

If it used its divine will to communicate with you directly, your Nascent Soul would be instantly destroyed by its fearsome power.”

I feel like you’re looking down on me!

Lu Chuan internally shouted, but he also understood that the Tower Spirit wasn’t joking with him.

He had been quite pleased with himself for reaching the Grade 3 Nascent Soul Realm, but after hearing the Tower Spirit’s words, he realized that his strength was only sufficient for showing off in the secular world of the End of Sects and Magic Era.

If he were to truly encounter a powerful Cultivator, he was still nothing but an ant that could be squashed with a wave of their hand.

The path of cultivation is long and arduous, and his journey as a strong person had only just begun.

“However, now that you have reached the Nascent Soul Stage, you are at the threshold where you can begin to use the Demon Suppression Pagoda.

Since that is the case, I will tell you about a Divine Skill inherent to the Demon Suppression Pagoda itself,” the voice of the Tower Spirit rang out leisurely.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan’s eyes immediately shone with brilliance as he eagerly said, “Alright, alright, you really are a top-notch Tower Spirit in this world!”

“Tch,” came the Tower Spirit’s faintly disdainful response.

Lu Chuan felt a twinge of confusion and thought to himself that the Tower Spirit seemed rather proud, wondering if it could actually be a girl.

However, he didn’t dwell on this thought for long because, in the next moment, his mind was filled with a vast amount of information about the Demon Suppression Pagoda—the Divine Skill the Tower Spirit had mentioned.

This Divine Skill was named “Suppression,” and all Lu Chuan needed to do was channel his power into the Demon Suppression Pagoda to activate it.

Once the Divine Skill was activated, it would form a unique domain within a one-kilometer radius belonging exclusively to the Demon Suppression Pagoda.

Within this domain, the strength of non-demon strong beings would be reduced by thirty percent, while the strength of the Demon Tribe members would be directly reduced by fifty percent.

After reading the introduction to this Divine Skill, excitement was written all over Lu Chuan’s face, impossible to hide.

This Divine Skill was an excellent method for overcoming enemies of higher levels; any strong expert would immediately have their strength cut by thirty percent, undoubtedly allowing Lu Chuan to maintain ample confidence when facing any formidable opponents.

Moreover, once the Suppression Domain was activated, anyone within the domain would have their strength reduced by thirty percent, not just targeting a single individual, which meant this was a Divine Skill that could be used to fight against multiple enemies with fewer numbers.

Previously, when in the Demon Tribe Territory, Lu Chuan had already experienced the terror of this domain, but at that time, he could only rely on the Demon Suppression Pagoda’s property to suppress experts of the Demon Tribe.

Now that he had mastered this Divine Skill, not only could he suppress members of the Demon Tribe, but also martial artists, cultivators, and even divine spirits who relied on the Power of Incense Offering for survival.

Of course, although this Divine Skill was terrifying, its consumption of power was also immense.

With Lu Chuan’s current strength, he could only maintain it for a maximum of ten minutes.

Any longer would place a significant strain on him, and he would be the one weakened as a consequence.

However, at his level, victories and defeats in battles were often determined in an instant, so ten minutes was more than enough for him.

“Tower Spirit, as a Divine Artifact, the Demon Suppression Pagoda surely carries more than just this one Divine Skill, right?” Lu Chuan asked tentatively.

The Tower Spirit replied, “Naturally, when the Demon Suppression Pagoda was forged, Divine Skills were inherent to it, a total of nine powerful Divine Skills were formed, and the Suppression Domain is just one of them.”

Lu Chuan’s eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, “When can I learn the other Divine Skills?”

The Tower Spirit said, “As your strength improves and your control over the Demon Suppression Pagoda increases, naturally, you will gradually master all nine Divine Skills.

For now, you are just a little trash, and it’s already quite generous of the Demon Suppression Pagoda to allow you to master one.

So, you shouldn’t foolishly hope to learn all nine Divine Skills at once.

You should know the saying: ‘Grasp all, lose all.'”

Lu Chuan wasn’t annoyed by the Tower Spirit calling him little trash; instead, a smile appeared on his face.

The first Divine Skill he mastered was already so powerful, which meant that the remaining eight must also be far from simple.

Once he had mastered all nine Divine Skills, he feared he would stand at the pinnacle of the entire world.

A strong sense of anticipation shone on his face, and he was somewhat impatient to improve his strength and quickly learn the remaining eight Divine Skills.

After getting accustomed to his newfound strength, Lu Chuan suddenly remembered that he had promised Ning Siquan he would return to the Ning family within three days of his successful breakthrough.

He had not anticipated that the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint would suddenly transfer power to him, causing him to fall into a state of absorbing strength and losing track of time.

He urgently asked the Tower Spirit, “How long did it take me to absorb the power of the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint after my breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage?”

The Tower Spirit replied, “Seven days.”

Lu Chuan’s face underwent a drastic change, and he instantly stood up.

Chiang Sheng had previously mentioned that his master and two senior brothers would arrive in Capital City after three days.

Now that seven days had passed, Chiang Sheng and his fellow disciples had likely already troubled the Ning family.

Chiang Sheng’s strength was already at the Grade 3 Saint Realm, and the strength of his master and senior brothers could not possibly be weaker than his.

Such combat power was an overwhelming force in the entire Capital City, and the Ning family was incapable of coping with it.

A sense of panic arose in his heart, worrying that something had already happened to the Ning family and even more so for Ning Xin.

If anything had happened to Ning Xin because he failed to return in the promised time, he would never forgive himself.

However, he also understood clearly that it was an unavoidable situation.

At the time, the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint had suddenly transferred power to him, and if he hadn’t absorbed it promptly, he risked his body exploding and dying.

He didn’t want to put the Ning family and Ning Xin in danger either.

Without further hesitation, he took to the air and turned into a streak of light, speeding towards the direction of the Ning Family Residence.

Having reached the Nascent Soul Stage, he now possessed the ability to soar through the sky, no longer needing to travel on foot as before.

Ning Family Residence.

A group of people sat together, all looking dejected as they discussed whether or not to flee together.

It wasn’t that they lacked loyalty to the Ning family; it was just that the ten-day deadline set by the Mountain Moving Taoist Priest had only three days left, and Lu Chuan hadn’t even shown a shadow of himself.

They held no hope for their son-in-law, and if they didn’t consider fleeing now, they would surely have to accompany the Ning family in its downfall once the three days passed—an outcome that was utterly unfavourable.

“What kind of coward is our son-in-law, hiding himself away?

Even if he’s no match for the Mountain Moving Taoist Priest, he should at least show his face.

Maybe if the Taoist Priest settles his grievances with him, he might spare the Ning family.

Now look at what’s happened; he’s hidden himself, and our entire Ning family has to suffer for his cowardice.

It’s utterly shameless.”

“Don’t be so pessimistic.

Maybe our son-in-law really encountered something that’s keeping him from returning.

There are still three days left, and he might make it back within that time,” one person said.

Another person snorted and responded, “Don’t make me laugh.

If he could really come back, I might as well believe that this meteor in the sky is him…

Hey, how could there be a meteor during the day?”

“Uh…

that meteor seems to be heading straight for us.

Could it be that an asteroid is going to hit Earth, and it’s aiming right here?”

Everyone looked up into the sky and indeed saw a streak of light rapidly approaching their location.

“Don’t talk nonsense.

If it were really an asteroid hitting Earth, you wouldn’t be seeing what we’re seeing now.

That ‘meteor’ looks like…

it’s a person?” someone said.

Soon, they all clearly saw the true appearance of the “meteor.”

The first person to notice the meteor exclaimed, “Damn!

It really is our son-in-law!

Could it be that my wish came true and the meteor turned into him?”

Before long, Lu Chuan descended rapidly into the courtyard, and due to his urgent haste, he created a large crater upon landing.

Those in the courtyard watched Lu Chuan with faces filled with shock, now sure that the person before them wasn’t a transformed meteor, but Lu Chuan himself.

They couldn’t understand how their son-in-law, whom they hadn’t seen in just a few days, could suddenly fly!

Lu Chuan glanced at them and asked anxiously, “Where is the young miss?”

One of them quickly replied, “In…

in her room.

The master and madam are with her.”

Without hesitating, Lu Chuan hurried to Ning Xin’s room.

At that moment, Ning Siquan and Zhao Tong were both by Ning Xin’s bedside, with Ning Siquan still trying to persuade Zhao Tong to pack up and return to her parents’ home.

Just then, the door to the room was pushed open.

Ning Siquan frowned and said, “Didn’t I say to be gentle when entering the young miss’s room?”

Then he turned his head to look at the doorway, and upon recognizing the visitor, he was momentarily stunned.

“Lu…

Lu Chuan?”

Hearing her husband’s words, Zhao Tong also hurriedly looked towards the door.

Upon seeing that it truly was Lu Chuan, she stood up immediately, cursing, “You scoundrel, you still have the nerve to come back!

You were supposed to flee, weren’t you?

Get out of here right now, our Ning family doesn’t welcome you!”

Lu Chuan’s brows furrowed slightly, realizing something must have gone wrong for Zhao Tong to treat him with such an attitude.

His gaze fell on Ning Xin, who lay on the bed with her hair turned all white, her face wrinkled, and looking as if she were at death’s door.

His heart clenched suddenly, and his breathing became more rapid.

He quickly moved to the bedside and tremulously touched her face, asking with heartache, “Ning Xin…

how did you end up like this?”
