Chapter 254: Climbing the Tower
Thinking of this, Chen Qing headed toward the second underground level.
Sure enough, as soon as he stepped into the second level, a wave of malevolent qi several times colder than the first level surged toward him like something tangible. The air seemed permeated with viscous black mist, and the oppressive feeling suddenly increased.
Chen Qing dared not be negligent. He operated the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Vajra Body with full force. Blood qi throughout his body rumbled and surged. The dark gold flowing light beneath his skin rotated rapidly, emitting low humming sounds.
He felt the blood qi within his body becoming increasingly condensed and powerful under the malevolent qi's stimulation and grinding. The cultivation progress was indeed considerably faster than on the first level.
While adapting to the environment, he observed his surroundings.
The second level's layout was similar to the first, both circular structures with heavy stone door cells distributed throughout, though the number seemed somewhat fewer.
"Hmm? A new baldy from the Chan Sect?"
"The aura's not right... is it that old baldy Qiku's disciple?"
"The blood qi isn't weak, but the realm is low. What's he doing coming to the second level?"
