Chapter 2526: The treasures are all on the ninth floor

"There's even this kind of operation?"

After the Burning Sky Purple Flame's massive absorption, the pressure on everyone suddenly decreased by half.

Ye Bufan was also quite surprised, not expecting such a method.

Suddenly, an idea struck him: since the Burning Sky Purple Flame could devour the flames here, his Heavenly Thunder Pearl could also absorb the power of the lightning here.

Previously, on the Seventh Layer, the Heavenly Thunder Pearl had been greatly depleted, and it was unknown how long it would take for such a large amount of lightning power to fully recover.

But now it was different; the sky full of lightning before them was just the nourishment it needed, delivered right to their doorstep.

With that thought, he willed it, and the Heavenly Thunder Pearl once again flew into the air.

The facts proved his method was very effective; the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, just like the Burning Sky Purple Flame, began to frantically devour the surrounding lightning power.

At this, everyone felt a lightness in their bodies, and the previous pressure vanished without a trace.

Looking at the ball of flame and the lightning-flashing pearl before them, the three from the Huajian Sect showed expressions of envy and jealousy.

Whether it was an abnormal flame or a Divine Artifact, both were treasures that Cultivators dreamed of acquiring.

The sea of thunder and fire initially attacked the Burning Sky Purple Flame and the Heavenly Thunder Pearl frantically, continuously lunging at them.

But later, they realized something was wrong; these flames and lightning seemed to possess intelligence, knowing that they were only destined to be devoured, and immediately retreated to both sides, quickly disappearing.

The Heavenly Thunder Pearl floated in mid-air, and although not much time had passed, its lightning power was now fully restored, even more abundant than before.

It now emitted a soft hum, as if still unsatisfied.

"Alright, know when to quit!"

Ye Bufan reached out and retrieved it, feeling quite pleased; he hadn't expected this treasure to recover so quickly.

Then he looked at the Burning Sky Purple Flame; to be precise, it was no longer a purple flame.

After the previous frantic absorption, the Burning Sky Purple Flame had undergone a transformation, changing from its previous deep purple to a light blue.

"This… this is an upgrade?"

Compared to the recovered Heavenly Thunder Pearl, the abnormal flame's change made him even happier.

Abnormal flames also have Ranks, categorized by color: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, with purple being the lowest.

Generally, it is extremely difficult for an abnormal flame to advance in Rank, but he hadn't expected it to happen unintentionally.

It was clear that the flames here were definitely not ordinary before; absorbing them had a greatly nourishing effect on the abnormal flame.

At this moment, the Burning Sky Purple Flame had completely turned light blue, appearing extremely gentle, but Ye Bufan could feel the power contained within it, which was more than ten times stronger than before.

In any case, this was a good thing, so he put away the abnormal flame as well.

The three members of the Huajian Sect retracted their envious gazes and looked towards the Tongtian Tower again.

At this time, the sea of thunder and fire had miraculously disappeared, revealing the true appearance of the place.

There was nothing but scorched ground all around, completely barren.

Everyone showed disappointment; where were the promised treasures? Why was there nothing here?

Indeed, on this Eighth Level, there wasn't even a blade of grass, let alone any rare Spiritual Plants or other treasures.

Ye Bufan also frowned slightly; in the first six layers, one could find Spiritual Plants and treasures everywhere, but the higher they went, the less there was.

Normally, the higher one went, the more precious the treasures obtained should be, but what they saw was clearly the opposite.

After confirming there was no danger, the five continued to move forward, constantly searching, hoping for an unexpected discovery.

The result disappointed them; after searching for a long time, they saw the passage to the Ninth Layer, but still found nothing.

Moreover, this Eighth Level was much smaller than the Seventh Layer, with an area of only about a thousand feet.

Ye Bufan said, "Let's go, let's go to the Ninth Layer and see."

"That's right, we'll go to the Ninth Layer. I don't believe there are no treasures at all."

Hua Ruyu said defiantly, and then the five of them stepped into the beam of light leading to the Ninth Layer.

Outside the Tongtian Tower, everyone stared intently at the light screen, originally thinking that the time spent on this Eighth Level would surely be much longer than on the Seventh Layer.

However, they didn't expect that after only one or two hours, the five light spots would all step onto the Ninth Layer.

"What exactly is going on? How did they do that?"

"The Ninth Layer, oh my god, they've reached the Ninth Layer! This is the first time in history…"

"If this continues, are they going to reach the Tenth Layer?"

The people outside were all shocked, including the Elders of the various Schools; no one knew what kind of Opportunity awaited beyond the Ninth Layer of the Tongtian Tower.

At this moment, everyone was as if injected with stimulants, their eyes wide, staring intently at the screen, anticipating what kind of miracle would happen next.

In contrast, Ye Bufan and the others' hearts were in their throats, extremely nervous.

They had just entered the Eighth Layer and encountered the sea of thunder and fire; they wondered what dangers awaited them on this Ninth Layer.

Everyone was grim-faced, frantically circulating the True Qi within their bodies to form protective True Qi, fully entering a combat state.

But when they exited the passage, they were stunned by the scene before them, standing there like wooden or clay statues.

Compared to the Eighth Layer, the area of the Ninth Layer had suddenly shrunk significantly, roughly a hundred feet in size.

After coming out, the pressure here was much less than before, almost no different from the outside, and the Spiritual Qi was dense, making one feel incredibly comfortable.

What was most unbelievable to them was that the place was filled with treasures, Spirit Stones like small mountains, and all of them Top-Grade.

Next to it was a Spirit Medicine garden, full of Spiritual Plants, such as the Golden Jade Yang Ginseng, resembling a club, Snow Spirit Grass with tens of thousands of years of age, and Millennium Ganoderma resembling a millstone.

On the other side, there were various Artifact Refining Materials; in short, any single treasure here held great temptation for a Cultivator.

For a moment, all five of them widened their eyes, and the surrounding space seemed to solidify, with only the sound of continuous swallowing.

"Good stuff! All good stuff!"

Looking at the treasures before her, Hua Ruyu's eyes lit up, "No wonder the two lower layers had nothing; all the treasures were placed here."

Ye Bufan took a deep breath, calming his surging emotions. With so many Top-Grade Spirit Stones, he wondered what Realm his cultivation could reach.

However, his rationality was still intact, and he cautiously said, "Everyone, please be careful; there might still be some dangers here."

"That's right, the more cautious we need to be at a time like this."

The three members of the Huajian Sect also nodded, and the five slowly moved forward, approaching the treasures while vigilantly scanning their surroundings, ready for battle at any moment.

But even when they reached the treasures, they found nothing unusual. Then the five dispersed and thoroughly checked the entire Ninth Layer, still finding no danger.

Ye Bufan glanced at the corner of the Ninth Layer; the path to the Tenth Layer here was not the usual beam of light, but rather layers of stairs, stretching as far as the eye could see.

This made him feel somewhat surprised, wondering what was different about this layer.

But for now, the most urgent task was to deal with these treasures; the matter of the Tenth Layer could wait.

After confirming their safety, the few people returned to the pile of treasures. Hua Ruyu asked, "Little brother, with so many treasures, how do you think we should divide them?"
