He never lacked teachers; what he lacked was the ability to use Spirit Skills.

Whether it's Little Fen Yang, or the Shadow Gu Tower that is about to fall into his hands, both must know the method to operate Spirit Skills.

Spirit Skill: Hollow Fire Cannon, this is actually pretty interesting, huh?

Not only can I throw it, but it can also blast away enemies who get too close—this suits my fighting style perfectly!

Now that I think about it, can I try not throwing it by hand, but instead use the Demon Soldier Bow to shoot out the Hollow Fire Cannon?

That would be awesome!

Wouldn't the Demon Soldier Bow basically become a rocket launcher then?

"Du Yu."

"What's up?"

Lin Shiwei lowered her voice, "Do you think there might be Spirit Masters existing even in modern society?

Just like what we saw earlier, are those Spirit Masters also surviving at the very bottom of the Bottomless Pit?"

Du Yu thought for a moment, silently, "I don't think so."

The reason the Twin Trees inside Shadow Gu Tower can continuously release spiritual energy is because the Divine Tree hasn't withered, so it can still seal the Celestial Treasure Race's lair's exit.

Du Yu expressed his view, and Lin Shiwei nodded quietly as well.

Even though the vast majority of Bottomless Pits aren't open to the public and no one knows what's really inside,

the Twin Trees are out in the open for everyone to see.

Whether the Divine Tree within has withered is obvious at a glance.

Come to think of it, even if the Divine Tree did wither, it probably still plays a crucial role in suppressing the Cold Qi.

Otherwise, the endlessly gushing cold air from underground would have already invaded the whole world, not just lingered below the surface, right?

"Sigh." Du Yu let out a deep sigh, "I really wonder what that world beyond the entrance underground is like.

Who would have thought—the Bottomless Pit that everyone dreads is just a passage. The true source of the Cold Qi and Celestial Treasure Race creatures, turns out to be another world."

Lin Shiwei: "We can only say that those Celestial Treasures corrupted by Cold Qi come from another world under the surface.

Many people have witnessed Celestial Treasure Demon Beasts with sane minds, suddenly fusing and being born in the Demon Spirit Realm."

"Yeah." Du Yu nodded—what the girl said did make sense.

The two of them chatted idly, patiently waiting for Master Qing to exit the tower.

They waited... for nearly 9 hours!

From Du Yu exiting the tower at 8:50 am, all the way until 5:40 pm; sitting quietly in the military tent, Du Yu suddenly felt a faint tremor in the ground.

Du Yu and Lin Shiwei exchanged a look and quickly walked out of the tent.

Looking up from afar, the seventh floor of the Shadow Gu Tower—a tall, slender figure stood proudly.

Master Qing's tightly closed eyes, a breeze stirred a strand of hair on her forehead, brushing past her lips.

The last rays of the setting sun painted her silhouette with a golden-red outline, and bathed her noble face in a beautiful glow.

"She did it!" Lin Shiwei's face brightened, gazing up admiringly at her aunt, eyes full of reverence.

In Li Mengnan's endless dream, that was probably exactly the look believers would give her...

Compared to Lin Shiwei, Du Yu was inwardly stunned—almost 9 hours!?

What does that even mean? How difficult must this have been?

Even scarier, this was the result even after Du Yu made a deal with the Shadow Gu Tower!

Going all-out for 9 hours like that, never mind winning or losing—just surviving it would already make you a godlike existence!

Master Qing's physical endurance really is something else...

"Rumble rumble!"

The massive Shadow Gu Tower buzzed and shook, more intense than ever.

And Master Qing slowly opened her eyes, taking a step forward.

From the chaos in the military camp, cries of astonishment arose. Du Yu, mouth agape, gazed up at the figure standing high in the sky.

Master Qing was actually standing in midair!

The scene gave her an added touch of celestial mystique.

She glanced back at the inside of the tower, a gentle smile on her lips, nodding softly.

"Buzz!"

The Shadow Gu Tower vibrated faster and faster, more and more...

Engulfed in thick Demon Breath, the true outline of Shadow Gu Tower grew hazier and hazier, its silhouette stacking over and over, getting smaller and smaller.

Until the Shadow Gu Tower shrank to the size of a pendant, and slowly drifted into Yang Qingqing's palm.

Yang Qingqing lowered her head, looking at the now-quiet camp, found Du Yu and nodded at him in greeting.

Though Master Qing's nod was barely noticeable, Du Yu caught every detail and clearly understood: Come over.

Du Yu: "..."

Are you trying to mess with your king here?

I'd go if I could, but I can't fly!

"Hehe." Yang Qingqing also realized what was happening, and couldn't help but smile.

She'd stayed too long at the world of Great Demon Tamer stage, and fought too many battles—once back in the real world, it was like stepping into another era entirely.

So much that, for a moment, her mindset hadn't switched back; looking at the common folk, she saw nothing but Heaven-Filling Gods and Buddhas...

No one knows what she went through in the tower—after all, Master Qing is an extremely low-key person.

Going by her usual style, there's no way she's summoning disciples to the front to hand over the Shadow Gu Tower in broad daylight.

In sight, Master Qing slowly descended, her thoughts much clearer.

She didn't hand the Shadow Gu Tower to Du Yu; instead, she walked into the central military camp.

Soon enough, soldiers in the camp loudly announced to everyone that the Shadow Gu Tower had been conquered, and thanked everyone for their participation.

As for why the Shadow Gu Tower shrank, or why it landed in Yang Qingqing's hand...

These matters are none of your business, and the army has no obligation to tell you anything.

The waiting Demon Tamers each responded differently.

Demon Tamer Journeymen were alright, since they're all newbies and didn't really have a say.
