Chapter 238 Heavenly King Tower
This action immediately froze Fan Longhu's approving expression on his face.
The others also gaped open.
"He didn't stop to rest! He's still going up!"
"How is this possible! Why is this guy even more relaxed than the garrison commander?!"
Countless people were stunned, looking up at Ye Kang's steps.
So resolute, so relaxed, as if they hadn't been suppressed at all.
This is true.
With the blessing of the secret realm, Lingyin Temple was exceptionally friendly to Ye Kang, only suppressing him symbolically, which could be completely offset by his powerful physical strength.
Therefore, Ye Kang's every step was casual, and in no time he surpassed Fan Longhu and was on par with the two garrison commanders.
"Greetings, gentlemen. I'll head up now."
Ye Kang smiled politely and then continued upwards.
The two garrison commanders' hearts skipped a beat, and they replied blankly, "Oh... okay..."
Their lips were dry and parched, and they had no idea what expression to wear as they watched this scene.
I knew he was a genius, but I never imagined he was this genius!
With so many people watching, the garrison commanders were understandably frustrated to be overtaken by two people in a row.
At this moment, Ye Kang looked up.
Master Guangchun had already protected Gu Lingwei as she took the last step and was the first to reach the summit.
Gu Lingwei looked extremely pained, having exhausted all her strength, while Abbess Guangchun showed no signs of distress.
Judging from the looks of it, these steps posed no challenge for Abbess Guangchun. If she hadn't been protecting Gu Lingwei as she went up, she probably would have reached the top long ago.
Sensing Ye Kang's gaze, Abbess Guangchun also looked at Ye Kang, giving him a kind smile, but revealing no particular attitude.
After the two entered the real Lingyin Temple, only two people remained ahead of Ye Kang.
The vice sect leader wasn't surprised that Ye Kang could move so fast. After all, he had witnessed Ye Kang's strength and had previously suspected that the kid hadn't been suppressed. Now, he was even more certain of his thoughts.
This kid is strange. He's definitely going to surpass this bunch of trash, but as for surpassing me? Hmph...
Before the vice-leader could finish humming, Ye Kang had already overtaken him with light, quick steps.
"..."
This is impossible!
The vice-leader tried desperately to catch up, but was quickly left ten steps behind by Ye Kang.
At this point, the Thief King had already reached step 105 thanks to his first-mover advantage.
He was just three steps away from becoming the second person to reach the summit.
At this crucial moment, Ye Kang stepped forward and stood alongside the Thief King.
The latter stared wide-eyed at Ye Kang, and then the jade pendants at their waists trembled simultaneously.
A moment!
Ye Kang used his true energy to forcibly control the ancient black jade treasure, and the trembling sound disappeared.
He was incredibly excited; it was confirmed!
The other half of the ancient jade treasure is indeed on the Thief King!
He was inwardly overjoyed, but outwardly remained calm, as if nothing had happened, and continued upwards.
The bandit king's expression also changed.
What's going on? Why is my jade pendant suddenly acting strangely?
Could it be because of this kid who suddenly appeared?
That shouldn't be the case... Could it be because I'm already very close to the other half of the jade pendant that this is happening?
The King of Thieves' breathing also became hot.
That must be the case!
The other half of the jade pendant must be on it; I'm about to get it!
The Thief King decisively eliminated one correct answer and then came up with another, which greatly motivated him, and he did his best to climb higher.
At the same time, Ye Kang took the last step and successfully reached the summit.
A gentle breeze blew by, and he seemed to hear countless Buddhist chants, thousands of people reciting scriptures, tens of thousands praying for blessings, and endless incense nourishing his soul.
Ye Kang closed his eyes, feeling a surge of comfort. He realized that reaching the summit would bring blessings from Lingyin Temple, and the effects were remarkable.
Ye Kang could clearly feel that his soul had been strengthened and his range of perception had expanded again.
In a sense, simply walking down this long staircase is already a great opportunity, and as long as one can persevere, it will greatly benefit one's spirit and soul.
Ye Kang suspected that the sooner one reached the summit, the greater the blessing effect might be; he should have run instead.
He shook his head, walked forward with a hint of regret, and officially stepped into the gate of Lingyin Temple.
Behind him, a group of people stared in shock.
Inside the temple gate, two Buddha statues stood on either side. Ye Kang scanned them with his senses but found nothing.
Following the path through the main hall, the first thing that comes into view is a white pagoda. Below the pagoda is a courtyard, in the middle of which is an incense burner.
Master Guangchun and Gu Lingwei each held three large incense sticks, bowed in front of the incense burner, and then devoutly inserted them into the burner.
Upon seeing Ye Kang, Gu Lingwei was overjoyed, but with her master present, she could only nod.
Master Guangchun also laughed and said, "I didn't expect that you, little fellow, would be the first one to come up. It's really beyond my expectations."
"I have met you, Abbess. I was merely lucky."
"Being overly modest is not a good thing. Since we are so fortunate, let me offer you a stick of incense."
Master Guangchun flipped her hand, and three large incense sticks suddenly appeared in her hand.
Ye Kang knew she had storage treasures, but he didn't expect that she always kept a large incense stick in her storage space.
Ye Kang quickly went over and respectfully accepted it.
"Thank you, Master Xie, for the incense."
"Well, no need for thanks, it's just a stick of incense. Besides, offering incense here is just for good luck. Remember, once you step into the Heavenly King Tower, guard your mind and don't get lost in it. The more you understand, the greater the chance of going astray. That's enough."
After Master Guangchun finished speaking, she pulled Gu Lingwei into the giant tower in front of her.
Ye Kang seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't dwell on it. Instead, he followed the example of the nun, lighting incense and bowing in all directions.
After placing the large incense sticks, he stepped into the Heavenly King Pagoda.
The moment he entered, that irresistible pulling force reappeared, and Ye Kang's vision went black. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in a brightly lit attic.
The attic contained many decorative items and several small cushions.
Just as Ye Kang was about to check, the system beeped.
【Ding】
[Remnants of Buddhist spiritual essence detected, which can aid in the deduction of martial arts techniques]
[Task Issued: Deduce the Impermanent Demonic Body of Hades to Minor Success]
[Task Reward: Comprehension]
[Tip: The higher the level of the Heavenly King Pagoda, the more of its divine charm remains.]
Ye Kang's eyes immediately understood.
I see. I read it in the Azure Scale Treasure Mirror before. The greatest function of the Lingyin Temple Secret Realm is to help with the deduction of martial arts.
It must be because of these remaining traces of its original charm.
The small tower appears to have nine floors from the outside. Without a doubt, Abbess Guangchun must have taken Gu Lingwei to the ninth floor.
What about yourself?
Ye Kang hesitated, but ultimately decided not to go to the ninth floor and instead climbed to the eighth floor.
There were only four futons on the eighth floor. Ye Kang chose one of them and sat down on the spot.
The reason he didn't go up to the ninth floor was simple: he was afraid!
He was trying to deduce the Unmoving Demon Body of the Underworld, a martial art that was considered an enemy of Buddhism. Master Guangchun came from Jingyuezhai, which sounded like a nunnery. If his aura was leaked, he could very well be killed by the master with a single palm strike!
There's no need to take that risk.
