After obtaining the confirmation from Elder Huo, Duan Ling Tian could not hide his excitement. It was common knowledge that a person’s strength was significantly affected by the strength of their body.
It was just like how a dragon race was more powerful than a human who had the same cultivation base and the same method due to its stronger physique, even humans who had opened their Saint Veins included.
It would not be hard for a Five-clawed Divine Dragon to fight a higher level enemy.
Duan Ling Tian calmed himself down after a moment and then he continued asking,
How powerful are you currently, Elder Huo?


I’m unsure.

Elder Huo shook his head.
I’m not familiar with the stages of cultivation in this world. However, the current version of me can finish off that little devil dragon from before in a single breath as easily as swatting a fly.

After listening to Elder Huo, Duan Ling Tian’s jaw dropped.
Finishing Di Yong off with a breath was just as easy as swatting a fly? He was well aware that Di Yong was a powerful Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage being whereas the old man in the golden robe was merely a Three-legged Golden Crow and the pagoda spirit of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda who had not recovered from the injuries sustained previously.

From what I can see, you must be even more powerful than a Saint Stage cultivator,
Duan Ling Tian guessed.
He grew excited as he sorted out his thoughts. Did it mean that from now on, he would have another super henchman by his side?

Before completely restoring the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, you have no means of making me leave the pagoda even if you’re its owner,
Elder Huo said just in the nick of time as if he had read Duan Ling Tian’s mind.
Duan Ling Tian forced a smile on his face after listening to Elder Huo. At that moment, he felt like a pail of cold water had been poured right over his head.

How long more till we can completely restore the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda?


Apart from the slower passage of time and better cultivation environment in the first level, does the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda have any other function that benefits me currently?
Duan Ling Tian was unresigned as he continued to ask. He was determined to fully exploit and extract whatever value remained in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

No.
Elder Huo shook his head.

So, I can’t even hide in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda when I’m in danger?
Duan Ling Tian did not give up and asked further.
There were independent spaces in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. If he could hide in the pagoda when he faced danger, then those who wanted to harm him would not be able to do anything about it.

Before the restoration of the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, you’ll be evicted from the pagoda instantaneously if someone tries to move it,
Elder Huo said.

Elder Huo, can’t you grab on to me then to prevent me from being evicted?
Duan Ling Tian still felt unresigned.

I can’t.
Elder Huo shook his head yet again. His reply completely crushed Duan Ling Tian’s hopes.

You mentioned the complete restoration of the fourth level of the Seven Treasure Exquisite Pagoda….Do you mean that after the complete restoration of the fourth level, I can hide in the Seven Treasure Exquisite Pagoda?
Duan Ling Tian recollected what Elder Huo said earlier and asked.

That’s correct.
Elder Huo nodded.

Why’s that so?
Duan Ling Tian probed.

Only then will the internal space of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda be considered relatively stable and unaffected by the outside world,
Elder Huo said.

I see… The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda is divided into seven levels. After restoring four levels, then the inner space of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda will only be considered stable.
Duan Ling Tian finally understood it after the explanation from Elder Huo.

I must restore the second to the fourth level as soon as possible,
Duan Ling Tian secretly vowed.
At that time, he would have a
life-saving amulet
because even if he met a powerful enemy, he could hide in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to avoid them.

Something’s not right!
Suddenly, Duan Ling Tian thought of something and asked Elder Huo,
Elder Huo, back then, why didn’t Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing hide in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda? The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda should be in perfect condition, shouldn’t it?

Since it was in perfect condition, the inner space of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda should be perfectly stable at that time. Therefore, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing should be able to enter it to avoid disaster.

At that time, the enemies Li Jing faced were more powerful than you can imagine. He wouldn’t have survived even if he hid in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. In addition to that, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda would’ve fallen into the enemy’s hands.
Elder Huo paused when he spoke about Li Jing’s enemies. One could sense the fear in his eyes. It was a fear towards the enemies Li Jing faced.

Oh! I see.
Duan Ling Tian nodded.

However, I don’t think there’s anyone on this planet who’s able to destroy the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Therefore, as long as you are able to restore the fourth level, then your life is ensured in every battle.

Elder Huo said,
Of course, that is if you’re able to enter the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda before being killed by your enemies.

Duan Ling Tian nodded.

If there’s nothing else, I’ll get started on the restoration of the second level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda,
Elder Huo said.

Elder Huo, can I bring people into the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda?
Duan Ling Tian asked.

As the owner of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, of course, you’d be able to bring people in if you wish. However, I’d suggest against it in view of your current strength to prevent green-eyed monsters,
Elder Huo said.

Relax, Elder Huo… I’ll only bring in people who I can trust. I assure you,
Duan Ling Tian said.

Then, that’s fine. I just giving you some advice,
Elder Huo said.

Elder Huo, can I bring people into the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda forcefully? For example, if I meet an enemy that I can’t defeat, can I bring him in here forcefully and get your help to defeat him?
Duan Ling Tian asked with a hopeful expression on his face. This was an idea he had just come up with.

Before the complete restoration of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, you’re only able to bring people in if only they’re willing, or else it’d be impossible.
Elder Huo wiped Duan Ling Tian’s hope away with his statement which made the latter smile bitterly.

Elder Huo, do you mean that if the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda is fully restored, then I’ll be able to bring people in forcefully?
Duan Ling Tian continued to ask.

An undamaged Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda is a very powerful Celestial Treasure which is good in both offense and defense. You’ll be able to imprison him in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda as long as your opponent isn’t far more powerful than you are.

Elder Huo said,
As long as you are able to imprison your enemies into the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, then I’ll be able to help you to finish him off.


What if you can’t beat him?
Duan Ling Tian shot him a weird look and asked.

If I am weaker, then I’ll hide on another level… Anyway, he’ll only be able to move around in the level that he’s imprisoned on,
Elder Huo said frankly.
Duan Ling Tian became speechless after listening to him.
Was that a solution?

Elder Huo, I have another question. Is it possible for me to return to Planet Yan Huang in the future?
Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath and asked in a serious tone.
Planet Yan Huang was also known as Earth!
In the past, he had suppressed his obsession to kill the fellow who had betrayed him because his chances of returning to Earth was slim.
Now, after coming across the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, his suppressed obsession started to resurface.

It is not a question of possibility… I can confirm that we’ll be able to go back to Planet Yan Huang on the condition that you increase your strength,
Elder Huo said.
Duan Ling Tian’s eye sparkled instantly.

As long as I have sufficient strength, I’ll be able to return to Planet Yan Huang?
He thought to himself.
At that moment, Duan Ling Tian felt his heart start racing. That was because he now had a new goal!
Duan Ling Tian’s new goal was to return to Earth.

I hope that you’ll live longer…
Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself with a cold glint in his eyes.
Shortly after that, Duan Ling Tian was back in his room with a flash before his eyes after some thought.

I can’t believe I’m able to meet you in this world.
Duan Ling Tian’s face was filled with a wide grin as he looked at the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda before him. He was in a great mood right now.

Huh?
Soon, the smile on his face froze when he discovered that he was unable to store the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda in his spatial ring.

Elder Huo… Why can’t I store it?
Duan Ling Tian asked using Voice Transmission to broadcast his voice into the first level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

Your spatial ring is just a low-level space which can’t contain anything alive. Since I’m in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, your spatial ring won’t be able to store it,
Elder Huo explained.

I almost forgot.
Duan Ling Tian smiled awkwardly, feeling silly. He knew that spatial rings could not store living organisms.

You can turn the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda smaller and place it into your ears just like how the Monkey Sun hid his Auspicious Gold Hoop Staff.
Elder Huo’s voice rang out just as Duan Ling Tian was unsure about how to store the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

The Monkey Sun? Auspicious Gold Hoop Staff?

After listening to Elder Huo, Duan Ling Tian asked,
Elder Huo, is the Monkey Sun that you mentioned The Great Sage, the Equal of Heaven who wreaked havoc in heaven in the past?


You’re right! It’s that Horse Protector.

Elder Huo replied,
The Horse Protector was very powerful… When he wreaked havoc in heaven, Li Jing trapped him in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. However, it did not take long for him to escape.


It seems the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda isn’t so powerful after all,
Duan Ling Tian said.

The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda isn’t weak, but the Horse Protector managed to escape due to the person who was using the pagoda being weak… If it had been the original owner of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda operating it, there was no way the Horse Protector would’ve been able to escape,
Elder Huo said.

The original owner of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda?

Duan Ling Tian scanned his memories of Earth and asked,
Is Dipankara Buddha the original owner of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda?


Yes, he was!
Elder Huo replied with a voice filled with resentment.
Duan Ling Tian was not surprised by the resentment Elder Huo bore.
If the legends from Earth were true, then Elder Huo had been imprisoned and forced to become the pagoda spirit of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda by Dipankara Buddha.
Anybody would harbor resentment towards the person who imprisoned them.

From what you’ve said, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda is actually powerful.

Duan Ling Tian nodded and then asked,
Elder Huo, I heard that the Auspicious Golden Hoop Staff of The Great Sage, Equal of Heaven is also very powerful! How powerful is it compared to the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda?


The Auspicious Golden Hoop Staff is at the same grade as the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. However, its offensive capabilities are the best among all of the Celestial Supreme Treasures,
Elder Huo voiced trembled slightly upon mentioning the Auspicious Golden Hoop Staff.
