Yao Yaoling charged towards the rat demon, shouting, "Stop worrying about me. I'm planning to leave this place to find my wife. Punishments or whatever have nothing to do with me."

"Then prepare to die," the rat demon retorted angrily.

The rat demon twisted its lower body, and its thick tail lashed out at Yao Yaoling.

"Wow..." Yao Yaoling let out a strange cry. A flash of light appeared in his hand, revealing two sharp axes. They seemed small for Yao Yaoling's stature but would be a bit small for a normal person.

These were specialized small axes crafted by the Earth Spirits, no less formidable than any sharp weapon.

Swish, swish!

Yao Yaoling's slender arms swung out, yet they contained a surprising amount of force.

The axes met the tail, slicing off half of the rat demon's tail tip.

"Haha, you're still so foolish. Our Earth Spirit weapons are incredibly sharp, cutting through iron and steel with ease. Your flesh-and-blood tail is even easier to sever," Yao Yaoling laughed heartily.

The rat demon retracted its tail, looking at the severed tip with heartache, and shouted angrily, "Yao Yaoling, if I don't show my true skills, you won't know the immensity of heaven and earth."

"Then bring it on, let me see how much you've improved over the years," Yao Yaoling taunted, beckoning with a finger.

"Divine Rat Claw!"

The rat demon swung its forearms, slashing out two claw marks, gleaming like divine weapons.

"Bah, Divine Rat Claw? Looks like rat claws to me," Yao Yaoling scoffed.

Clang, clang!

Yao Yaoling raised his axes and struck again, clashing with the rat demon's claws.

This time, neither was injured, and both retreated a few steps, neither gaining the upper hand.

"Not bad, you've improved a bit," Yao Yaoling remarked in surprise.

"Stupid rock, come out and crush him," Yao Yaoling suddenly leaped onto a black stone block and hurled it at the rat demon.

Before the rat demon could figure out what was happening, a massive figure descended from the sky, crushing it underfoot.

Yao Yaoling had released a giant stone man, a surprise attack from above. The rat demon was powerless to resist, crushed underfoot like a pathetic little insect.

"Crush him for me," Yao Yaoling commanded.

The stone giant obeyed, exerting force with its foot, and before the rat demon could resist, it was turned into a bloody pulp.

Impressive, quite brutal!

Jiang Feng almost cheered in admiration.

"How about it? Isn't it majestic and awe-inspiring?" Yao Yaoling boasted.

"Yes, not bad, you have the demeanor of a master," Jiang Feng praised.

Sometimes praise is cheap, but when it's deserved, it boosts the other's confidence and makes them more favorable towards you.

In reality, people are like this too. Everyone likes to associate with those who praise them because it makes them feel valuable, preventing them from feeling lost and helpless in life's hardships.

"Hehe, you're too kind," Yao Yaoling was pleased with the praise, spinning around happily.

With the rat demon's death, the first stone pillar changed, suddenly emitting a beam of light, then retracting it into the pillar. The clouds above surged, and the divine dragon weaved in and out as if it had gained life.

At the top of the stone pillar, a jade tablet appeared at some point, glowing with spiritual light, full of spiritual charm.

"The first treasure has appeared. Go and get it," Yao Yaoling said.

Jiang Feng quickly realized, stepped forward, and looked down to see three small characters on the jade tablet—"Brush Technique!"

"Brush Technique, it's actually a magic technique," Jiang Feng exclaimed in delight.

Holding it in his hand, a spell immediately entered his mind, and Jiang Feng had already mastered the Brush Technique.

The jade tablet in his hand lost its luster, turning into a handful of rubble.

"This is the secret art of the Calligraphy Sect, one of the six Confucian schools. It can turn writing into soldiers, both offensive and defensive," Jiang Feng murmured after reviewing the spell.

"However, this Brush Technique requires a brush-like weapon to fully unleash its power."

"I'll have to find a big brush to try it out later," Jiang Feng thought to himself.

Bang!

Suddenly, a loud noise approached Jiang Feng rapidly, carrying a strong killing intent.

"Not good," Jiang Feng thought, sensing danger. Without looking back, he ran forward a few steps.

Once at a safe distance, he turned around to see a creature with a human body and a dog's head, wielding a giant hammer, swinging it with great force, shattering the air.

"What is this thing?" Jiang Feng shouted.

"This is a dog demon, another guardian, much stronger than the rat demon. Be careful," Yao Yaoling warned.

"Damn, this dog demon is really tough," Jiang Feng shouted.

"Ignorant human, daring to intrude here and kill the rat demon. I'll smash you into a meat patty," the dog demon roared, swinging its giant hammer in pursuit.

Bang, bang, bang!

The giant hammer fell, creating a pit with each strike, but it didn't hit Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng dodged left and right, running in curves, giving the dog demon no chance, while secretly looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

After circling a stone pillar, Jiang Feng finally found an opening and turned to strike with his sword, stabbing the dog demon in the chest.

"You dare to hurt me? Die," the dog demon raged, swinging its giant hammer and sending Jiang Feng flying.

Jiang Feng felt a sharp pain, as if his bones were about to shatter.

Fortunately, he wasn't seriously injured, just feeling chest tightness and turbulent blood.

"Yao Yaoling, hurry up and help. I can't handle him alone," Jiang Feng shouted.

"Got it, coming," Yao Yaoling commanded the stone giant to attack, joining the fight against the dog demon.

Jiang Feng coordinated his attacks, finding and exploiting the dog demon's weaknesses.

With Yao Yaoling and the stone giant joining the battle, the dog demon weakened quickly, and Jiang Feng eventually decapitated it with a sword strike.

Whew!

The second stone pillar lit up at this moment, revealing another jade tablet.

With experience, Jiang Feng grabbed the jade tablet from the pillar, and another spell was imprinted in his mind.

"Divine Control Technique! The secret art of the Control Sect, one of the six Confucian schools. What a treasure," Jiang Feng exclaimed excitedly.

Another Confucian magic technique.

It seemed that Confucian magic techniques were abundant here, while Yinyang family techniques were scarce.

Just as Jiang Feng obtained the second magic technique, someone else entered the scene.

Jiang Feng turned to see Di Wuyin.

He hadn't expected Di Wuyin to be the second person to reach the final level.

Jiang Feng had thought it would be Ban Zhi or Xueshan.

"So you arrived early, but it seems I'm not too late," Di Wuyin said coldly.

His best friend Murong Hongqiao had died at Jiang Feng's hands, so he wouldn't let Jiang Feng off easily, his attitude icy.

Jiang Feng couldn't be bothered with him. As long as there was no immediate danger to himself, Jiang Feng didn't want to deal with him now.

After all, obtaining more treasures was the priority.

However, Jiang Feng wouldn't blindly activate those stone pillars anymore. Instead, he set his sights on the innermost stone platform.

Jiang Feng believed that whatever was placed there must be the best.

Without delay, Jiang Feng rushed over.

Di Wuyin wanted to pursue, but accidentally triggered a stone pillar, summoning a guardian.

A demon cat blocked Di Wuyin's path.

Jiang Feng was lucky and quickly reached the stone platform.

But it was empty, with nothing on it.

"Did I guess wrong?" Jiang Feng wondered in surprise. "Is this stone platform just for show?"

Of course, his main feeling was disappointment. After all the effort to get there, not finding a treasure was disheartening.

"Hmm, what's this?" In his moment of disappointment, Jiang Feng noticed some strange patterns on the surface of the stone platform, arranged in a circle to form three small floral rings.

The rings were colored red, yellow, and blue, quite eye-catching.

"Could there be a trick here?" Jiang Feng wondered.

Jiang Feng reached out to press it, and suddenly a suction force grabbed his hand, drawing out his True Qi.

Buzz!

The stone platform absorbed the True Qi, lighting up and revealing three tokens within the floral rings.

Yes, tokens.

A unique type of token, with strange patterns and an ancient "Zhu" character, glowing brightly.

"What is this?" Jiang Feng examined it but didn't dare to touch it, fearing a trap.

At that moment, more people entered—Ban Zhi and Xueshan, both emerging from the illusion simultaneously.

Seeing Jiang Feng and Di Wuyin already there, they wasted no time and began snatching treasures.

They were from the dark forces, here specifically for these treasures, so they wouldn't hold back. Anything they could take, they would.

With opponents arriving, Jiang Feng quickly pocketed the three tokens, regardless of any potential danger.

Fortunately, there was no danger.

"I warn you, you'd better leave quickly, or you'll die here," Ban Zhi threatened.

"Hmph, just a braggart from the dark forces," Di Wuyin sneered coldly.

Di Wuyin had no intention of leaving, as he had just killed a guardian and the jade tablet on the stone pillar was within reach. He was about to obtain a treasure, so leaving was out of the question.

"Kid, don't think you can take anything," Ban Zhi leaped to snatch.

Di Wuyin raised his bow and shot three arrows in quick succession, then grabbed the jade tablet and turned to run.

Once someone grabbed the jade tablet, the spell would immediately imprint in their mind. Even if someone else took it, it would become a pile of rubble.

Xueshan, knowing this, shouted, "Ban Zhi, don't chase. Focus on getting what we can."

Ban Zhi, after dodging the three arrows, stopped pursuing and returned to Xueshan's side, saying, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's act quickly, or these people will take everything."

Having obtained the treasure and with no one pursuing him, Di Wuyin stopped and carefully reviewed the spell in his mind.

"It's the Archery Technique, our Archery Sect's secret art. My master mentioned it several times, thinking I would never obtain it. But today, I've gotten it. Truly, my master's spirit in heaven is watching over me," Di Wuyin rejoiced upon learning the spell's content.

Such luck is rare in a lifetime, and since he encountered it, it seemed the heavens wanted to change his fate.

With the "Archery Technique," his archery skills would reach new heights, achieving a higher realm.

Then, it wouldn't be too late to seek revenge on Jiang Feng.

With this realization, Di Wuyin didn't linger and exited the ninth level, leaving the crystal tower.

As Di Wuyin left, Le Huadie finally entered.

Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Le Huadie's figure, glad she was unharmed.

Le Huadie's sole purpose here was to find the authentic Confucian music score, so Jiang Feng had to help her.

"Le Huadie, I'll lure out the remaining guardians. Watch closely and find the music score quickly," Jiang Feng shouted.

"Okay," Le Huadie responded.
