Chapter 647 408: Tower Forest_2

Inside the dark tower, he let out a long breath, his eyes focused. Just as he was about to exit the Sea of Consciousness, he started attempting to operate the first level of the Six Harmonies Saber Technique's Breathing and Exhaling Technique.

This Six Harmonies Saber Technique was a martial arts skill of the Primordial Qi Realm that he devoured during a great battle with the Head Altar Law Envoy in Xianggu County.

During his three years as an Outer Disciple, he had always been outside Changling Mountain. Even though he had long since digested and absorbed the martial arts realm of the Primordial Qi Realm, he had been unable to advance to the Primordial Qi Realm due to the thin Primordial Qi concentration in the Mortal World.

Now, already inside Changling Mountain, he intended to make a breakthrough!

As soon as the Primordial Qi Realm cultivation technique ran its course, Duan Rong immediately sensed the dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, invisible to the naked eye, flowed like water, intersecting and swirling around him...

Duan Rong felt a slight astonishment. He hadn't expected the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi inside Changling Mountain to be so dense!

He then discovered that the dense concentration of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi wasn't everywhere. It should be due to the operation of his cultivation technique that his body was attracting and gathering the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

This caused the concentration of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi around him to be much higher than in other spaces.

"As expected, it's the Sect Technique of an Inner Sect Disciple! This Six Harmonies Saber Technique is indeed quite magical!"

Duan Rong was immersed in breaking through to the Primordial Qi Realm when suddenly the sound of drums echoed through the Tower Forest.

The Attendant of the Internal History Department had said that the sound of the drums was a signal to assemble them.

Duan Rong exhaled and ceased his skill, opening his eyes to see the faint morning light streaming in through the cracks of the tower door.

The day had already broken!

He had been so absorbed in his cultivation that he hadn't realized the night had passed.

However, after a night's cultivation, he had still not broken through to the Primordial Qi Realm.

Because the Primordial Qi Realm was, after all, a brand new realm to him. Even Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was very unfamiliar to him.

Throughout the night, Duan Rong had been studying how to safely and effectively draw the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into his body. He had conducted various attempts.

Although he had devoured the first level of the Six Harmonies Saber's cultivation technique and had a good understanding of the refining steps, this was, after all, his first time in cultivation. He needed to truly understand the subtle relationship between the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and his body.

This was a profound lesson from his previous life: whichever knowledge you learn, basics are the most important; cultivation is the same.

If he hadn't truly sensed what Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was, and rashly attempted a breakthrough, he would have had no clue how to respond if any issues arose during the cultivation process.

After dispersing his skill, Duan Rong stood up and walked out of the tower.

At that moment, many figures were emerging from the towers in the Tower Forest.

Duan Rong looked up and saw scattered people standing in an open space in front of the Tower Forest. He immediately walked over calmly.

Duan Rong stood at the edge of the crowd, scanning the people, and quickly found Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu stood in the crowd, looking around as if searching for him.

Their eyes suddenly met, and a hint of joy flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes. Duan Rong already strode towards her.

At this time, the drums were still beating, and shadows continuously emerged from the depths of the Tower Forest.

Duan Rong stood next to Xiao Yu and looked towards the source of the drum sound, seeing a large drum standing by the dense woods near the crowd.

A silhouette held onto the tree trunk with one hand and beat the drum with a mallet with the other hand.

That silhouette turned out to be a gorilla.

Seeing the gorilla, Duan Rong couldn't help but chuckle. This guy was raised on Iron Peak Mountain!

Although he only saw a side view, Duan Rong recognized the drumming gorilla at once. It was the same gorilla that had snatched Xiao Yu's parcel in the Lower Courtyard when they first entered the mountains.

Duan Rong had just exchanged a couple of sentences with Xiao Yu when Ximen Kankan suddenly squeezed in from Duan Rong's side.

Duan Rong turned and almost burst out laughing upon seeing the large lump on Ximen Kankan's forehead. Remembering the screams he heard outside the tower last night, Duan Rong guessed that one of them was Ximen Kankan. He cheerfully said, "Did you sneak out of the tower last night?"

Ximen Kankan said, "The tower was so small, was it a place for people to stay? More like a rodent cage!"

"What happened to that lump on your head?"

Ximen Kankan sniffed, somewhat aggrieved. "I didn't look closely, just saw a shadow flash, and then got knocked to the ground. And then I was thrown back into the tower."

Duan Rong's eyes moved, recalling the powerful divine senses they sensed when they first entered the Tower Forest yesterday evening. If those people made a move, Ximen Kankan naturally wouldn't have been able to see clearly.

Not far behind Duan Rong and Xiao Yu, Shen Mizi also stood in the crowd.

Just as Shen Mizi stood there, Liu Shushan also stood beside her.

Liu Shushan was initially very happy for Shen Mizi when he learned that she had advanced to become an Inner Sect Disciple.

Liu Shushan smiled, "Mizhi, our towers weren't far apart..."

Liu Shushan hesitated, because he saw that Shen Mizi's eyes were fixed on Duan Rong, who was joking with Ximen Kankan.

Shen Mizi seemed to notice Liu Shushan had stopped mid-sentence, so she turned to glance at him, leaving Liu Shushan to smile awkwardly.

At that moment, the drums suddenly stopped.

Then, a figure emerged from the woods behind the large drum.
