Chapter 154 Dragon Temple Treasure Key

Inside the tower, Yuan was bombarded with notifications after completing the challenge by defeating 100,000 magical beasts.

?Congratulations! You have passed the 100th floor of 'Carp Leaping Over Dragon's Gate' in Dragon difficulty, clearing the trial!?

?Congratulations! You have completed the hidden quest 'Dragon Trial'!?

?You have obtained the title 'Dragon Warrior'?

?Congratulations, you have slain a total of 100,000 monsters?

?You have obtained the title 'Elite Monster Slayer'?

?Because of your title 'Elite Monster Slayer', all of your damage dealt to monsters will be increased by 50%. Monsters will feel more pain from your attacks as your damage to them increases?

?Your comprehension for Flying Daggers has reached a new level?

[Flying Daggers]

[Rank: Mortal]

[Mastery Level: 3]

[Description: Control your daggers with spiritual energy and send them flying through the battlefield, slaying your enemies from a distance! Qi consumption will vary depending on how many Daggers you control at once and its speed.]

"So you've finally defeated all 100,000 magical beasts, huh… I knew it would've happened sooner or later, but I would've never even imagined that you'd clear the trial with such ease. Congratulations, you have become the first person to completely clear the Dragon Trial, and as promised, I shall bestow you the key for the treasure room now…"

The Great One opened its eyes widely, and a golden beam pierced Yuan's head the next moment.

?You have obtained 'Dragon Temple Treasure Key'?

A few seconds later, the Great One blinked, causing the beam to disappear.

"You now have the key to the treasure room," said the Great One. "Now you just need to enter the Dragon Temple and reach the treasure room, which will also be a challenge itself."

"Thank you," Yuan said.

"No, I should be thanking you… Thank you for coming here and entertaining me. I wonder how many more years I will have to wait until the next person reaches the 100th floor again— not that it really matters for me since I am merely an illusion, so the flow of time doesn't exist for me."

"One more thing… I'm sure that you already have been told about this by the other 'me', but I'd like to repeat it again. I want you to meet the real 'me' in the upper heavens. If you obtain the Legacy within the Dragon Temple and find the real 'me', you'll be given wealth and treasures that normal people cannot even begin to imagine."

Yuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely try to look for the real you once I reach the upper heavens."

The Great One then said, "Very well… The farewell, young genius…"

?You are now being teleported to the first floor?

A few seconds later, Yuan disappeared from the 100th floor and reappeared on the first floor again, feeling as though everything that'd just happened was merely a dream.

Once Yuan was gone, the Great One looked at the seemingly borderless sky and mumbled in a solemn voice, "He will definitely shake the entire cultivation world with his talents in the future if he hasn't already by now… However, the more talent he has, the more difficult his cultivation path will be, and I truly hope that he'll manage to survive until he meets the real me…"

"I shouldn't do this, but I really want you to meet the real me, so I shall make this an exception and give you an extra reward…"

The Great One suddenly began glowing and disintegrating into tiny lights like a bunch of scattering fireflies, flying towards the sky and disappearing into the distance.

Meanwhile, as Yuan approached the exit that was also the exit, the walls in the room began glowing, and tiny golden orbs of light emerged from the walls before flying towards him.

"W-What is happening?" Yuan watched as the golden orbs floated towards him before going inside his body.

?You have absorbed a massive amount of Qi?

?You have absorbed enough Qi for a breakthrough?

?You have reached Sixth Level Spirit Warrior?

?+3,500 Stats?

?You have absorbed enough Qi for a breakthrough?

?You have reached Seventh Level Spirit Warrior?

?+4,000 Stats?

?You have absorbed enough Qi for a breakthrough?

?You have reached Eighth Level Spirit Warrior?

?+4,500 Stats?

?You have absorbed enough Qi for a breakthrough?

?You have reached Ninth Level Spirit Warrior?

?+5,000 Stats?

?7,451,000,000/19,691,520,000 Qi?

"N-Ninth Level Spirit Warrior?!" Yuan was speechless after realizing that he'd suddenly gained 4 cultivation levels without doing anything.

Now even if he has the Pill of Concealment, he would still be at the second level of the Spirit Warrior realm, which is pretty attention-grabbing for a mere Outer Court disciple!

"I'll have to talk to Senior Xuan or one of the sect elders about this…" Yuan sighed as he opened the door and walked outside the tower.

"Huh?"

And to his surprise, almost like Elder Xuan had heard his sigh, Yuan could see Elder Xuan standing in front of the tower and staring at him with an intensive gaze.

"Senior Xuan—"

Yuan called out to him, but alas, before he could even finish speaking, Elder Xuan ran in front of him and grabbed his clothes before running away while dragging along like some kind of toy.

"I don't have time to explain right now! Just be quiet and come with me!" Elder Xuan said to Yuan in an urgent voice, dumbfounding him.

A few minutes later, they arrived at some unfamiliar building in the Inner Court and entered the building.

"W-What's going on, Senior Xuan? Why did we have to run like we're being chased by monsters?" Yuan asked him afterward.

"Why, you ask? It's all because of you!" Elder Xuan sighed out loud after locking the door.

"M-Me? Did I do something wrong?" Yuan asked him in a baffled voice, as he doesn't recall doing anything too crazy.

"Aiya… Even though we'd told you to remain lowkey until the Mystic Realm, you just had to go and show off your talents at the tower, huh?" Elder Xuan shook his head before taking a seat on the couch. "Sit down… I'll explain the situation to you right now."
