Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2031: Chapter 2032: Dragon Soul’s Sensation

This demon beast hasn’t developed any spiritual intelligence at all, and driven purely by instinct and ferociousness, it launched an attack at Ye Luo.

Ye Luo squinted his eyes and threw a punch forward.

Though his size was vastly different from the demon beast, with a roar accompanying his punch, the mountain-like creature slowly fell to the ground.

This creature didn’t understand any spell or the like; it didn’t even know how to cultivate. It seems the demon beasts in this first level pose no real threat!

Of course, these non-ranked demon beasts hold little value as well!

However, when he inadvertently glanced at the demon core of this creature, he was utterly shocked.

The demon core itself was nothing special, as it belonged to a non-ranked beast, yet there was a trace of peculiar energy within it!

It was Dragon Qi!

Indeed, though this trace of Dragon Qi was exceedingly thin, others, even experts at the Earth Martial Realm’s ninth rank, might not have detected it!

But he had sensitively noticed it! To be precise, he was now a member of the Dragon Clan!

However, how could there be Dragon Qi within this tower?

Of course, such a thin trace of Dragon Qi holds little value; otherwise, this demon beast wouldn’t be unable to evolve.

It seems there are vast secrets hidden within this Tower of Trials!

Cultivators entering the tower usually don’t linger on the first level.

As one ascends the Tower of Trials, not only does the spiritual power become more abundant, but various treasures of heaven and earth also become more advanced. Some demon beasts are rare and valuable materials, so who would waste time on this first level?

Yet Ye Luo chose to remain, despite being able to see the boundary at a glance, traversing it was not something that could be done quickly.

Moreover, the passage of time within the tower differs from the outside, as the Family Head had emphasized before they entered.

Outside, one day is roughly equivalent to five days within the tower; this time, they can only stay in the tower for fifteen days!

Although this seems ample, it’s not exactly so, considering there are forty-nine levels in the tower, leaving aside the top nine levels, there are still forty levels! How could a mere fifteen days be enough?

Outside on the plaza, the Family Head and several Elders gathered before a massive crystal.

The crystal, like a mirror, reflected the images of these five individuals clearly.

These five people are cherished treasures of the Liu Family, and no mishaps can be afforded. It was stated to them beforehand for increasing the trial’s sense of crisis; only then would the trial be more effective!

In reality, they constantly watched over them and would immediately intervene to rescue at the slightest distress, so it is rare for disciples to fall in such trials.

Such situations only occur when encountering a peerless ferocious beast capable of a swift kill, yet such beasts typically exist only in the top nine levels, beyond the disciples’ abilities.

”It seems Liu Shang must have been concealing his strength to reach the sixth level so quickly!” an Elder of the Liu Family remarked in surprise.

”Mei’er isn’t doing badly either, having also reached the sixth level!”

”This Liu Cheng has an intense killing intent, slaying more demon beasts than the others combined. But why is he collecting these low-rank demon cores?”

The elders began to discuss amongst themselves.

”Why is Qing’er still on the first level? Is he taking a stroll or something? He is completely wasting time!” Finally, an Elder noticed Ye Luo.

Even Liu Cheng had reached the fifth level by now, yet Ye Luo was still leisurely wandering on the first.

”Ah, Qing’er is unconventional by nature. Surely, he has his reasons for doing so!”

In reality, Ye Luo was acting without any particular reason.

He was simply following his instincts.

Logically, the foundation of the tower should be in the first layer. He felt that there should be something different about this level.

But after a round, he found nothing out of the ordinary!

Though there were quite a few demon beasts, they were even weaker than the one he had encountered earlier, so weak that Ye Luo couldn’t even be bothered to glance at them.

He sighed; perhaps he was overthinking it!

Just as he was about to step into the entrance of the second level, he suddenly noticed the vague space surrounding him!

This should be the area of the tower’s body, yet something seemed amiss!

The issue lay in the spatial rules upon the tower’s body experiencing some fluctuations! Without careful observation, it could easily go unnoticed.

He approached the boundary, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he felt a tremendous repulsive force from within the vague space.

He understood; this was the tower’s repulsive force, a warning to cultivators that this was indeed the boundary!

If he forced his way through, he would surely endure the tower’s instinctive attack!

Ye Luo didn’t think he could withstand an attack from the Tower of Trials.

Could it be an illusion?

He was perplexed once more.

No, it was not!

Just then, the spatial fluctuations grew increasingly intense.

More importantly, he sensed a resonation within himself!

Indeed, it was a resonation from the Dragon Soul!

And what does that mean?

Before he came, the Dragon King had told him that he would only sense this resonation when he was within a certain distance of the Dragon Emperor’s flesh.

Could it be? The Dragon Emperor’s flesh is within this tower?

It shouldn’t be correct, as the sensation was very weak, yet it could be confirmed that the Dragon Emperor is undoubtedly related to this tower!

There’s another way! That is to use the Clairvoyant Eye to glance at this space! Though uncertain if it would be useful, doing nothing left him uneasy!

However, he could already intuitively feel as though he was under constant surveillance, and if he employed the power of the Clairvoyant Eye, he might be discovered. Once discovered, his situation could become perilous.

Who knows if the Liu Family can control the Tower of Trials? If so, he might become nourishment within the tower.

Therefore, a different approach is required.

Outside the tower, a few Elders remained before the crystal.

”What on earth is Qing’er doing, wasting an entire day? The space on the first level is only so large, and he has circled it five times already!” one Elder worried for Ye Luo.

The Family Head furrowed his brow as well, having the greatest hopes for Liu Qing as a promising Liu Family scion, yet seeing him act this way now.

Originally, they were sent into the Tower of Trials to seek some heavenly materials and earthly treasures and to cultivate within.

After all, the spiritual power inside isn’t comparable to the outside world.

These individuals had just reached the seventh rank of the realm, a phase where their strength could rapidly improve.

”Let’s watch and wait; interfering forcibly might do more harm than good!” the Family Head finally commented.

”Huh, why did Qing’er’s body disappear?” an Elder suddenly inquired.

”Oh no, there might be a change!” The Family Head also exclaimed in shock.

They had never encountered such a situation before.

Yet they also understood the Tower of Trials was extraordinarily mysterious, with any phenomenon being possible.
