System's Super Sect Chapter 1066 - 986: Above 101, the Sect’s Hidden Realms

"I’ll see you in 48 hours."

After speaking to the Mage Tower, Wen Ping closed the upgrade window.

With the Flowing Cloud Armor of the Flying Ship added to the upgrade queue, Wen Ping shut down the entire map of the Immortal Sect and immediately channeled his Spiritual Power into the Undead Hell, arriving at the Netherworld Black Dragon King’s domain.

The reason for his visit was that the corpses of Wan Zhi, Jing Wuxing, and Shan Tianhun had all been taken into the Undead Hell by the Black Dragon King.

Wen Ping’s appearance caused the Black Dragon King, who had just emerged from a fierce battle in the Covering Sky Tower realm and was still buzzing with excitement, to instantly become quiet. He led a legion of low-realm undead creatures in a respectful prostration, welcoming Wen Ping.

Wen Ping merely cast a glance.

His attention was not on the Netherworld Black Dragon King’s respectful servility, but on the massive undead army positioned behind him.

This was an undead army of the Dragon Race!

"When I last visited, I didn’t notice their existence. This Dragon Race undead creature army could prove useful in the future," Wen Ping mused, before shifting his gaze to the three corpses of Wan Zhi and the others positioned before the Black Dragon.

In the subsequent moment, Wen Ping’s Heart Thought acted.

Death Qi surged into the bodies of the trio, transforming them into immortal undead.

Their overall power now closely mirrored that of the Netherworld Black Dragon King himself!

Having concluded these matters, Wen Ping immediately expanded his Spiritual Power, continuing his search for the God of the Dead within the Undead Hell.

Individuals like Wan Zhi and his companions were merely a temporary fix.

To render the current Immortal Sect truly invincible, a God of the Dead, a powerhouse comparable to a Celestial Unrestricted expert, was indispensable.

This was because the Wood Dragon's return to the Demon Ancestor Realm was not an instantaneous event.

The Wood Dragon had to undergo a Demon Immortal Thunder Tribulation before returning, a process that required a period of stabilization.

The exact duration was uncertain.

However, it was certainly not something that could happen immediately.

As for the Sword Demon, even if he reached the Celestial Unrestricted realm, it wouldn't guarantee a victory against the Covering Sky Tower’s Celestial Unrestricted expert. Therefore, cultivating Tier Five Magic was necessary. Even with the Fifth World facilitating cultivation, Tier Five Magic still demanded considerable time.

Mastering Tier Five Magic was undeniably more arduous than cultivating Level Four Magic!

Ultimately, Wen Ping required a God of the Dead, a Celestial Unrestricted powerhouse who could be deployed without delay!

As the search commenced, time in the outside world rapidly advanced.

Night had fallen in the blink of an eye.

Not long after, the Sword Demon arrived outside Tingyu Pavilion.

"Sect Leader."

After a soft call, the Sword Demon refrained from knocking, instead waiting quietly outside the door for Wen Ping to emerge.

Before long, the door to Tingyu Pavilion opened.

"You’ve arrived."

"Sect Leader, I wasn’t tardy, was I?"

"You are not late," Wen Ping replied with a gentle smile, then surveyed the Sword Demon from head to toe. Noticing the bandages covering him, Wen Ping inquired with concern, "Who attended to you? You have quite a few injuries, and you’re all wrapped up like a mummy!"

The Sword Demon offered a helpless shrug, responding, "That girl Huai Ye and Elder Long Ke. Primarily Elder Long Ke."

"She possesses a tender side?"

Wen Ping let out a chuckle.

He had always assumed his fiery-tempered junior aunt knew only the art of combat.

The Sword Demon chuckled in response, also examining his bandaged state. He felt an urge to tear off the bothersome wrappings but reconsidered, deciding to leave them as they were.

They were indeed irritating.

Yet, they symbolized the concern shown by his peers.

How could he possibly discard them so carelessly?

After a brief exchange of lighthearted banter, Wen Ping led the Sword Demon to the pond situated in front of Tingyu Pavilion and retrieved five boxes from his Storage Ring.

Each box contained an advanced Mirror-Breaking Pill.

"A total of five Mirror-Breaking Pills. Within two days, can you ascend to the Celestial Unrestricted realm?" Wen Ping inquired after presenting the advanced Mirror-Breaking Pills to the Sword Demon.

The Sword Demon’s eyes gleamed with intense longing upon witnessing the advanced Mirror-Breaking Pills.

"Eight or nine chances out of ten!"

The Sword Demon replied with evident excitement.

Having personally experienced the efficacy of the Mirror-Breaking Pill, the Sword Demon was well aware of the marvels of its advanced variant.

If consuming all five pills did not lead to the Celestial Unrestricted realm, then perhaps he was simply destined not to reach that pinnacle.

As the Sword Demon reveled in his rising excitement, Wen Ping swiftly poured cold water on his fervor. "Do not celebrate too soon. Even if you manage to reach Celestial Unrestricted, you might still be no match for the powerhouse of that same level within the Covering Sky Tower. Your foundation and accumulated strength are currently insufficient."

"Sect Leader, in that case, what actions should I take?"

Confronted with Wen Ping's stark assessment, the Sword Demon's initial elation subsided, replaced by a thoughtful calm as he considered the truth in his leader's words.

It seemed he genuinely lacked any truly formidable techniques or abilities.

All the battle skills at his disposal were merely at the Earth Unrestricted or Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted tier.

Even the most potent spell he had cultivated thus far—Angel Descent—

was still classified as a Tier Four Magic.

Firmly placed within the Earth Unrestricted category!

While breaking through to Celestial Unrestricted would allow him to unleash power of that caliber, the Angel Descent spell itself was not an offensive capability designed for the Celestial Unrestricted level.

After transferring all the high-grade Mirror-Breaking Pills to the Sword Demon, Wen Ping instructed, "For now, you need not concern yourself with further cultivation. Within two days of successfully opening your Fifth Meridian Gate, proceed directly to the 101st floor of the Mage Tower. Your desired breakthrough awaits you there."

"Sect Leader, if I may ask, is the Mage Tower not limited to only 100 floors?"

The Sword Demon paused, his brow furrowed in confusion.

He had personally ventured to the 100th floor on multiple occasions.

In his pursuit of the Light Element Tier Four Magic, Angel Descent, he had spent a considerable amount of time on that very floor, the Mage Tower's apex.

There were no visible stairs or pathways leading from the 100th floor to any higher level.

"That is because you have not yet unlocked the Fifth Meridian Gate. Once you achieve that breakthrough, the 101st floor of the Mage Tower will reveal itself. The floors from the 101st onward represent the true, advanced tiers of the Mage Tower!" Wen Ping offered this explanation with a deliberately cryptic tone.

To his surprise, this enigmatic reveal proved remarkably effective.

The Sword Demon’s gaze immediately shifted to Wen Ping, filled with a profound reverence and even a hint of awe, as though he had stumbled upon a deeply guarded secret.

"Sect Leader, could the realms beyond the 101st floor be the inner sanctum of our Sect?"

The Sword Demon inquired, a vivid mental image forming in his mind, as if he were catching a glimpse of the true, hidden world.

It dawned on him that his perception of the Immortal Sect thus far had been merely superficial.

Within the Sect's domain lay numerous hidden realms and secret dimensions.

Access to these profound locations, he now understood, was likely reserved for those who had reached the Celestial Unrestricted stage.

Wen Ping simply responded, "You may interpret it as such."

"I offer my sincerest gratitude, Sect Leader, for imparting this invaluable guidance!"

The Sword Demon immediately dropped to one knee, his head bowed in a gesture of deep respect.

He pondered how long he had actually been a member of the Sect.

What merits or capabilities had he displayed to warrant such dedicated nurturing from the Sect Leader?

The resources being provided were more than sufficient to forge any individual into an overwhelmingly powerful Celestial Unrestricted expert.

And the chosen recipient was him?

Unable to fully grasp the reason behind this extraordinary favor, the Sword Demon's emotions surged, compelling him to declare, "Sect Leader, I pledge my unwavering and eternal loyalty to you and to the Immortal Sect. Words can only convey so much; I, Sword Demon, hereby vow through a Blood Contract to vanquish any formidable adversaries that stand in the path of the Immortal Sect, beginning with the unsubmissive Covering Sky Tower!"
