He immediately made up his mind, allowing the massive golem to break through, thereby subduing a Flower Blossom Tier rock spirit.
Spirits of the five elements, each one possessed unusual abilities.
The Strange Fire could support him in pill refinement; the rock spirit could nourish the land; the gold spirit could make weapons sharper and tougher; the wood spirit was the source of life and had surprising effects of healing; the water spirit could summon clouds and winds, relieving droughts.
Ling Han waited silently for the massive golem’s breakthrough. Since there was nothing to do, he summoned Guang Yuan and Li Si Chan out of the Black Tower and the three began cultivating together.
The Spiritual Qi was too dense in here, forming Spirit Qi like mist; cultivating one day could equal cultivating ten days on the outside.
Ling Han and Guang Yuan were martial arts maniacs and immediately went in the zone. Though Li Si Chan focused on pill refining, it was necessary to cultivate. She didn’t have a Strange Fire, and the level of alchemy was restricted by martial arts.
Therefore, she very soon began to cultivate as well.
They all took a medicinal pill supportive to cultivation, furthering the cultivation speed.
Only when they used up their soul power did they stop, and at this time, the massive golem was still breaking through. Rocks broke into pieces all over its body as its body was actually shrinking.
Ling Han could clearly see that it wasn’t that the massive golem failed, but conversely, the golem was walking down the path firmly.
Flower Blossom Tier creatures transcended the mortal body, and for the rock spirit, it was the same; it condensed the essence within its body and cast off useless rocks, developing towards a higher level of life.
“What’s that large guy?” Li Si Chan finally had the time to ask.
“Rock spirit, a rare rock of the world that attained wisdom and turned into a living being,” Ling Han said simplistically.
“It seems to be undergoing some sort of change,” Guang Yuan said.
“Yes.” Ling Han nodded. “Its charging into the Flower Blossom Tier. I’m waiting for it to successfully break through, and then to subdue it.”
Pu!
Guang Yuan and Li Si Chan spurted out at the same time, feeling that Ling Han had gone crazy.
The Flower Blossom Tier!
Weren’t those three words enough? Below the Flower Blossom Tier, all were powerless ants, and no matter how freakish Ling Han was, he couldn’t possibly compare with a Flower Blossom Tier being! Unless he rose to the throne, allocating the power of the nation like the Rain Emperor did.
Would the rock spirit show mercy because he was a Heaven Grade alchemist?
Obviously not.
“Young Master Han?” Guang Yuan and Li Si Chan looked nervous all across their faces.
“No matter.” Ling Han smiled slightly; he possessed the Black Tower, which was his greatest trump card.
Guang Yuan and Li Si Chan obviously thought of it; although they didn’t know what exactly the Black Tower was, they simply knew that Ling Han could hide in that place of absolute safety in a desperate situation.
After they finished cultivating, Guang Yuan and Li Si Chan returned to the Black Tower. The massive golem could finish its breakthrough at any time, so they didn’t want to be flustered when that time came.
As expected, after another two hours passed, the massive golem suddenly let out an explosive roar. The sound waves soared into the sky, ripping into the clouds with terrifyingly shocking momentum.
Its height shrunk to a little over thirty centimeters, but it was still much taller than normal people. However, compared to its previous height of ten feet, it could be called a shrunken version.
The Flower Blossom Tier!
This rock spirit already cast off its mortal body and advanced into the tier that all living beings dreamed of.
It was different, completely different. This massive golem’s presence was like the ocean and a pattern appeared on its torso. It seemed like a character, and also a bit like a pattern, impossible to differentiate; it was old and rustic, as if an ancient language that existed in the primitive times.
The massive golem looked at Ling Han in a lofty manner. Although it didn’t evolve eyes, its feet slowly left the ground, floating in midair.
The Flower Blossom Tier beings could fly!
A chubby golem floating in midair, this scene was a bit funny.
Ling Han laughed loudly and said, “Blockhead, come hit me!” At the same time, he sent a thought to Small Tower. “You can begin!”
Small Tower didn’t respond and just directly unleashed the Black Tower.
Weng!
A pitch-black tower appeared, only a few meters big at first, but it immediately enlarged, reaching several hundred meters in size. A door opened at the bottom and revealed an indistinct entrance; looking from outside was a blur of chaos, nothing could be clearly seen.
The Black Tower was extremely plain, neither having the gold words of Indestructible Golden Scroll floating, nor raising an ancient and primitive presence; it was ordinary as ordinary could be.
Ling Han knew that Small Tower controlled the circulation of Black Tower’s presence, or else, if it leaked out, it would attract the attention of powerful beings from the higher realm, directly breaking into this realm to seize the Black Tower.
“Blockhead, come into the bowl… come into the tower!”
Chapter 466

The massive golem went berserk—a puny being of the human race actually dared to provoke it time and time again? Especially when it had advanced to the Flower Blossom Tier, which was an increase on the level of life, surpassing Ling Han by countless times.
If its intelligence was normal, then it would definitely have scruples about the Black Tower that suddenly appeared; however, the rock spirit acted based on instincts. Its instinctively felt that the Black Tower was quite ordinary, so what did it have to fear?
Xiu , it immediately soared through the sky as a terrifying presence swirled by; even the ground was trembling. Ling Han’s face turned pale and his skin rippled.
This wasn’t as simple as mental oppression. The Flower Blossom Tier presence could be physicalized, especially the special type like the rock spirit, birthed by heaven and earth—the oppressive power of it was too strong.
Ling Han slowly retreated, arriving at the Black Tower’s entrance.
“Ang!” The massive golem soared over. With one punch, it was going to crush the human who dared to shatter its head and hands repeatedly.
Ling Han retreated once more, and xiu , his entire person entered the Black Tower.
The massive golem didn’t hesitate and charged right in. Seeing that Ling Han wasn’t far from it, its viciousness instantly erupted; it launched itself over, throwing a punch onto the top of Ling Han’s head.
It wanted to smash Ling Han into pulp.
“Freeze!” Ling Han said lightly, and the massive golem’s movements suddenly stopped.
In the Black Tower, he was the dictator.
At this time, Small Tower already turned Black Tower into a microscopic seed. Even unleashing the Black Tower and controlling the leaking of its the presence was a burden for Small Tower. It would consume Source Power, which it naturally didn’t want to waste.
The massive golem was a bit baffled—why could it suddenly not move? Its intelligence apparently wasn’t enough to figure it out as it shook its head abruptly, as if racking its brains.
Ling Han laughed loudly and swiped his finger, and the massive golem immediately turned upside down.
“Ang!” The massive golem opened its mouth to roar and a sound wave instantly stormed over.
“Freeze again!” Ling Han said lightly, and the sound wave stopped abruptly, freezing in midair as if time could be stopped. He walked over and casually kneaded the curved sound wave into a ball, and then pressed towards the massive
golem.
Peng , the sound wave’s power erupted and instantly sent the golem flying, even blowing a dent in the massive being’s chest.
…Now that the golem advanced into the Flower Blossom Tier, the power of the sound waves it released naturally increased, and it was also kneaded together, exploding on one point, which was even scarier.
Ling Han smiled slightly and said, “Blockhead, you convinced yet?”
The massive golem got up. The shattered rocks immediately flew towards its chest as if it was made of water, quickly recovering to as it was—not even an injury could be seen. It stared fiercely at Ling Han, and xiu , launched itself once again, attacking towards Ling Han.
Ling Han casually moved his fingers. This powerful opponent who could put up a fight against him at the Spiritual Pedestal Tier had no power to retaliate at all even though it advanced into the Flower Blossom Tier.
The massive golem was truly tough as nails; no matter how Ling Han tormented it, shattering it into thousands of pieces and stopping it from recovering, it wouldn’t surrender. Every time Ling Han released it, it would attack at Ling Han fiercely.
Ling Han couldn’t help but lose his patience—just how long would this continue for?
“Let me.” Small Tower appeared and swayed gently.
Pa!
A scene that made Ling Han’s eyes drop out appeared. The massive golem actually knelt down facing the Small Tower; it was clearly a golem, but Ling Han actually saw the sincerity on its face.
What the heck!
If he’d known Small tower was so kick*ss, he’d have let it take the matter!
Ling Han knew that a being birthed by the earth like the rock spirit had absolutely no fear of death, and for them, death was only returning to heaven and earth. They were proud because they were birthed by heaven and earth, standing high above and looking down on the masses.
So no matter how Ling Han suppressed it, it would only incite the anger and unyieldingness of the rock spirit.
However, Small Tower’s level of life was far beyond the rock spirit’s, as if born a king, so the rock spirit could only kneel upon seeing Small Tower.
Small Tower trembled slightly and emitted wave after wave, while the Rock Spirit nodded repeatedly, as if the two were communicating.
After a while, the massive golem got up and walked obediently to Ling Han’s side, rubbing Ling Han’s shoulder with its head like a dog.
The corner of Ling Han’s mouth twitched, the wild and intractable large fellow earlier was obedient like a dog right now, making him somewhat unable to accept it.
“M-master!” The golem telepathically sent a divine sense message.
The rock spirit was the same as the fire spirit, unable to open its mouth to speak; but they didn’t need to, since they could inherently use telepathic thoughts, crossing the language barrier.
Ling Han laughed and said to Small Tower, “What did you say to it that made it so obedient?”
“I told it that you’re my master, so naturally its master too,” Small Tower said indifferently.
That easy!?
Ling Han sighed with all sorts of feelings. Black Tower was too kick*ss, subduing a Flower Blossom Tier rock spirit that easily! If it were someone else, even if a Shattering Void Tier warrior came, it would be useless; at most they could smash the rock spirit into bits and pieces, but not subdue it.
“Master, hungry, eat, stones!” The massive golem sent Ling Han another thought.
Crap, why’d he get another chowhound?
Ling Han palmed his forehead. This big fellow shouldn’t be as gluttonous as Hu Niu, and should be like Strange Fire; eating was a necessity to strengthen itself. Strange Fires could devour other Strange Fires to advance itself, while rock spirits devoured other rock spirits.
He immediately thought of Heavenly Luck Stone, which was also a rare stone birthed by heaven and earth, but he hurriedly shook his head. This thing could foster a genius, and giving it to the rock spirit to devour would be too much of a waste.
There were many rare stones in the world.
Ling Han nodded and said, “Follow a boss like me, there’ll definitely be rocks.”
The massive golem smiled simple-mindedly, foolish like a rash fellow.
Ling Han looked at the golem and suddenly had an idea. He hurriedly said, “You can change your body as you wish… Oh, right, first I’ll have to give you a name. There’s already Small Tower and Small Fire, you’ll be called Small Rock.”
The massive golem naturally wouldn’t be against it, simply nodding its head and sending a thought of approval.
Ling Han had it raise thirty-six pillars on top of its head; they were very short, only the length of a finger.
The massive golem didn’t know why, but simply did so obediently without asking. It was as if it had suddenly grown hair.
‘It works!’
Ling Han sent it another thought, having it change the locations of the pillars, and forming a mysterious pattern.
It wasn’t that Ling Han was doing it for fun.
Earlier, he suddenly thought that since the rock spirit’s body was extremely solid, only a bit inferior to rare metals of the same tier, would it work if he carved the Heavenly Thunder Dipper Formation on it?
This was an endeavor, and if it worked, he would carve sixth tier formations and seventh tier formations on it in the future!
Chapter 467
Translator: Reverie_ Editor: Kurisu
Ling Han was a man of action, doing what he thought of. He immediately carved formation patterns on the massive golem’s “hair,” and these thirty-six “strands of hair” were the formation eyes.
It had been quite a few days since he received Tiandu Thunder Star Array. He had long figured out the formation patterns, but lacked the materials to form it. Now a large piece of material was placed in front of him, instantly making him eager to give it a try.
He had already carved the formation patterns on rocks earlier, so it was now a piece of cake.
After advancing into the Spiritual Pedestal Tier, his divine sense also increased by a whole lot, so he could carve three formation patterns in one go now. After resting for five to six hours, he could carve three more formation patterns.
Calculating in this way, he could carve ten or so formation patterns in a day, and in less than four days, he created all thirty-six formation eyes.
Inside the Black Tower, there wasn’t the Dao of heaven and earth.
Ling Han summoned the massive golem and said, “Unleash formation eyes.”
Ceng, ceng, ceng , pillars rose from the top of the massive golem’s head, forming a formation, and instantly, the formation patterns lit up and gathered the power of heaven and earth as the entire formation became woven with white lightning.
The massive golem fired a punch. Zi, zi, zi, the flashes of lightning were also fired out; its prowess was impossible and terrifyingly shocking.
“Hahahaha!” Ling Han guffawed, appearing extremely satisfied.
This was truly a moving formation!
He stroked his chin as he thought of the formation patterns on Yin Hong’s body, forming an astounding defensive effect which blocked even Hu Niu’s attacks. This proved that the human body could also act as formation eyes, and his sudden idea was also inspired by this.
“I’ve already cultivated to Iron Sheet Body and the toughness of my physique is comparable to rare metals of the same tier, so I should also be able to tolerate the power of heaven and earth drawn in by the formation patterns… as long as the formation’s tier doesn’t surpass my tier,” Ling Han said pensively.
If he could carve formation patterns like that of Ying Hong, his defensive power could increase another level.
“Having stayed here for four days, it’s time to depart.” Ling Han stored the massive golem inside the Black Tower. It was a lot easier to deal with now since the massive golem was loyal to him like a dog, so it naturally wouldn’t resist his divine sense.
Ling Han advanced with Guang Yuan and Li Si chan. They actually didn’t know where to go, but anyway, they’d move along first.
This wasn’t a real world. There were clouds covering the skies, there was also the difference of day and night, which was the change of light and dark, but there was neither a sun nor a moon.
The three walked for a while, and the wilderness was already behind them. A vast plain appeared in front, and the carpet of grasses covered the insteps of their feet. Gentle winds breezed by, making them feel at ease.
“Wait,” Ling Han suddenly said. He walked forward a few steps and parted the grass with his feet, immediately showing bones with traces of blood.
Guang Yuan also walked over. After examining for a while, he said, “This is a human collarbone!”
Ling Han nodded and said, “It should be of a martial artist who entered, but if the injury was manmade, it wouldn’t possibly just leave a piece of bone. Moreover, by the looks of the cracks, it seemed to be forcefully gnawed off by sharp teeth. ”
“Beasts!” the three of them concluded at the same time.
“Why wasn’t there any before?” Li Si Chan was somewhat puzzled.
Ling Han pondered, then said, “The territory earlier was Small Rock’s, so beasts didn’t dare to intrude. From this, it can be confirmed that this beast or beast pack probably doesn’t rival Small Rock.”
Li Si Chan and Guang Yuan didn’t dare to be careless. The rock spirit was at the ninth layer of the Spiritual Pedestal Tier before, and only Ling Han could care less about it. One of them was at the ninth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier, and the other just entered the Gushing Spring Tier, far from the rock spirit’s previous power.
They continued to advance, and after another stretch of road, a foul wind suddenly swept by.
“A beast’s den!” Ling Han immediately said and leapt out. After a few leaps and landings, he found a barren land on the field of grass and dug a hole—the foul smell came from within.
Seeming to hear Ling Han’s voice, a beast wormed out of the hole. It was just three feet long, dusky all over, and somewhat like a wolf, but its mouth was flat as if a duck’s.
