Young Master in Flower City

Whether it’s Xiao Tianyu or Li Fei, lighting up the sixth layer of the Ancient Tower is undoubtedly a terrifying existence in the Thousand Cities.

"Everyone, disperse!" Mo Xuan waved his hand, and an Armor Shield covered the Cold Ice Tower. Instantly, the Cold Ice Tower disappeared from everyone’s sight, and those spectators from Ice Sea City sighed and dispersed one after another.

Regarding today’s events, naturally, no one is foolish enough to speak of it. After all, Mo Xuan is the Governor of Ice Sea City. If anyone dares to reveal even a single word, it would undoubtedly be disastrous, even for all the great families.

Very quickly, the crowd on the Vast Square dispersed, leaving only Su Mei’Er, the siblings Hong Yuan, Mo Qingluan... and others.

Su Mei’Er stayed because she also joined the City Lord’s Mansion and became a disciple there.

With the people from all the great families gone, there were less than ten people left on the square, all of whom belonged to the City Lord’s Mansion, and Mo Xuan naturally did not mind.

Soon, the gazes of these people were all fixed on the Cold Ice Tower.

At present, neither Li Fei nor Xiao Tianyu has stepped out of the Cold Ice Tower.

Boom~

At this moment, the door opened, and a figure walked out, majestic and burly, clearly Li Fei by his build.

"Which layer?" Mo Xuan stepped forward and asked. Li Fei glanced at the Cold Ice Tower, seeing the sixth layer lit up, but his expression remained relatively unchanged, as if it was expected.

But no wonder, if Xiao Tianyu couldn’t even manage the Residual Spirit, how could he have been chosen by that person?

Then, Li Fei spoke indifferently, "The fifth layer!"

With these words, everyone knew what it meant.

The sixth layer of the Cold Ice Tower was lit by Xiao Tianyu, which was beyond doubt, but could he succeed?

If unsuccessful, his Life Spirit would be destroyed, and he would be reduced to a cripple.

On the other hand, if he succeeds?

Perhaps, a Divine Level realm would be comparable to a Divine Separation Stage expert.

Cold Ice Tower, the sixth layer.

At this moment, above Xiao Tianyu’s head, nine Jinlian were floating. Though they were transparent and extremely fragile, it was undoubtedly evident that he had managed nine strands of Residual Spirit.

Even if Xiao Tianyu stops now, he is already an extraordinary genius.

The reason is that his Life Spirit has already reached nine strands. If fortune favors him and he consolidates these nine strands, he would undoubtedly be an extraordinary genius.

In the vast Firmament World, how many have managed nine strands of Residual Spirit? Who has nine Life Spirits?

Spurt~

At this moment, Xiao Tianyu suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His complexion turned as pale as paper, and his features were contorted from the pain brought by the Residual Spirit.

The greatest pain undoubtedly comes from the soul, which cannot be described.

Throughout history, many extraordinary prodigies have failed their Residual Spirit attempts, resulting in not a few deaths, with even more being crippled. It is indeed a critical checkpoint for cultivators.

Once the Residual Spirit succeeds, one is destined to become a Divine Separation Stage expert.

However, Xiao Tianyu still hasn’t given up.

Once on Earth, Li Tian told him that his life bore thirty-six petals of Jinlian, allowing for thirty-six strands of Residual Spirit. Additionally, having been confined in the Eternal Hell for billions of years, his willpower is unmatched.

Because of Li Tian’s words, even after nine strands, Xiao Tianyu did not give up.

At this moment, Xiao Tianyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze fierce, hoping the old man hadn’t deceived him.

Spurt~

In the next second, Xiao Tianyu closed his eyes and made the daring plunge, spurting out mouthfuls of crimson blood, barely stifling a groan and nearly passing out.

Residual Spirit is nothing less than self-injury.

No, it’s a hundred, a thousand times more intense than self-injury.

Xiao Tianyu felt as if his Life Palace was about to explode, unable to bear the load. Once the Life Palace is destroyed, the Life Spirit would have no place to reside, and Xiao Tianyu would inevitably perish.

This was Xiao Tianyu’s first taste of the pain and torment brought by cultivation.

After a soft sound fell, the nine strands of Life Spirit had torn and transformed into eighteen Life Spirits. However, these eighteen Life Spirits were even weaker, and the pain from the soul had twisted and disfigured Xiao Tianyu’s face, making it extremely terrifying.

There was one final step.

Xiao Tianyu thought quietly to himself, whether he can succeed hinges on this last attempt.

One more tear from eighteen Life Spirits would result in thirty-six.

Ten thousand years ago, Li Tian’s eighteen Life Spirits were already sweeping across the heavens, so what about thirty-six?

The power is likely unimaginable.

If the Residual Spirit doesn’t succeed, it fails.

For Xiao Tianyu, how difficult is it to take that last step!

Time passed frantically, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by.

In this half month, Xiao Tianyu had been healing, never daring to take that crucial final step, knowing that this step was critical and not to be failed. Without Peak-level physical support, he might fall here.

If that happened, it would truly be a loss beyond measure.

As for the outside world, the beautiful eyes of Mo Qingluan, Su Mei’Er, and others had never left the sixth layer of the Cold Ice Tower this past half month, with high expectations. As for the one-month deadline, it was no longer as important.

Boom~

Just then, an earth-shattering noise came from the sixth layer of the Ancient Tower, shaking the heavens. Fortunately, Mo Xuan had isolated this space from the outside world with mana, or this mighty noise would have been enough to shake the entire Ice Sea City.

"What happened?" Everyone was shocked, as the loud sound was terrifying, seemingly no less than a full-strength strike from a Divine Separation Stage expert.

Shortly after, a mighty surge of soul power descended from the sixth layer of the Ancient Tower, and except for Mo Xuan and Li Fei, everyone else felt as if they were suppressed by an overwhelming pressure.

This was the pressure from a Divine Separation Stage expert.

Has he succeeded?

And how many strands of Residual Spirit did he manage?

At this moment, both Mo Xuan and Li Fei felt a tinge of anticipation. For someone to start Residual Spirit at a Divine Level Seventh Layer, what kind of determination did it take to take that step?

"This guy should be coming out, right?" Su Mei’Er murmured at the Cold Ice Tower. At a Divine Level, successfully managing Residual Spirit makes one a prodigy among prodigies.

The ancients said, "Do not attempt Residual Spirit before Divine Separation."

This phrase had finally been broken. Xiao Tianyu had started Residual Spirit at the Divine Level and succeeded. As for how many strands, no one knew, but judging from the pressure that had just burst from the sixth layer of Cold Ice Tower, they guessed it was probably no less than four strands.

Four Life Spirits are already extremely prodigious for people of the Thousand Cities.

"Why isn’t he coming out yet?" Mo Qingluan murmured again, "Could it be that he failed?"

Just as she said this, Mo Qingluan’s heart skipped a beat, and so did everyone else’s. After all, starting Residual Spirit at a Divine Level Seventh Layer made success odds extremely slim.

However, shortly after, everyone was stunned.

The seventh layer of the Cold Ice Tower lit up, reaching the top.

Silence!

The Vast Space fell silent. They had initially believed the sixth layer was Xiao Tianyu’s limit.

Yet, under their watchful eyes, the seventh layer lit up.

The entire Cold Ice Tower, from top to bottom, all lit up, dazzlingly brilliant.

This meant Xiao Tianyu not only succeeded in Residual Spirit but also reached the top!
