On the Seven Towers

Feng Qi finally stopped at the ninth floor, which also meant that he was closer to becoming an intermediate mage.

Xiao Chen continued to walk up. Although the power of ice and fire became more and more powerful, he still reached the tenth floor without much obstacles.

At this time, he had attracted the attention of the magicians and magic apprentices around him. Normally, most of the people who set foot on the Tower of God Refining are disciples of the Tower of God Refining. There are very few outside mages who challenge this path. Even if there are, most of them walk with trepidation and caution.

Because even mid-level mages are often disturbed by those realistic illusions, no one wants to accidentally make a fool of themselves in public and become the laughing stock of others. However, Xiao Chen seemed extremely relaxed when he reached half the height of the road to refining the gods, which made many people pay attention to his every move.

However, the most careful observation of all was the man and woman standing on the nineteenth floor.

That woman was Selinda, and beside her was a stern middle-aged man. The man was wearing a robe, holding a wand as tall as one person, and his eyes slowly moved with Xiao Chen.

"Is this the descendant of the Seven Saints Pagoda?" The man's eyes were filled with scrutiny. "Except for the fact that his hair color looks like some people from the Western Continent, there is nothing special about him."

"Master Kona, don't you think he left easily?" Selinda asked.

"Banderas told me that he is the descendant of the Seven Holy Towers. Isn't it natural that he can easily cope with the challenges of the road to refining gods? Otherwise, what qualifications does he have to hold the inheritance of the Tower of Dreams?" Master Kona looked at it Looking at Selinda, "You seem...a little afraid of him?"

"No, it's just that I have dealt with him a lot, and he is a very different person. They... are all very different." Selinda said softly.

"Then let's see where he can go. How far do you think he can go?" Master Kona asked.

"As far as I know, he is still an intermediate mage, but he gives me the feeling... that he can always do something unexpected. I don't know..."

"He has to go to at least the sixteenth floor, otherwise I will be disappointed." Master Kona said.

Xiao Chen saw Selinda and the middle-aged man, but he didn't care. He just walked up at his own pace. When he stepped onto the eleventh level, the illusion became stronger by another level. The originally faint shadow now became half virtual and half real, which showed that it became more difficult for him to resist these illusions.

Moreover, various monsters and ghosts began to appear in the illusions. Goblins and kobolds would suddenly jump out from the roadside with weapons in hand. Goblin archers would shoot arrows in the distance, and ghosts and harpies would sneak up on them from mid-air. Even though Xiao Chen had strong mental strength, he was still shocked by this formation.

An arrow hit his shoulder. Xiao Chen felt like he was stabbed hard by a stick. The goblin's dagger struck his leg, and it felt like he hit the edge of the table hard. The injuries are illusory, but the pain is very real. He knew that if things continued like this, he would stop walking two floors at most because of the unbearable pain.

However, this is not a problem for Xiao Chen, who is good at spiritual magic.

Xiao Chen released a Gregorio's mental barrier magic. This magic can block various forms of mental attacks. As the caster's mental power increases and his understanding of magic strengthens, he can gradually be exempted from various abnormal conditions, and even Deflect energy attacks. If used by a holy magician like Gregorio, it can eventually defend against physical attacks to a certain extent. It is indeed a very potential defensive magic.

However, according to Xiao Chen's current strength, the barrier is only effective against mental attacks, but on the road to god refining, this function is enough. As soon as the spell took effect, a transparent glass curtain wall seemed to appear around Xiao Chen. All those ice, snow, flames, swords, guns and arrows will disappear after reaching the barrier, allowing him to continue walking up without any obstacles.

When Xiao Chen released the mental barrier magic, Master Kona frowned slightly and said softly: "Antonio Gregorio?"

Selinda beside him couldn't understand the barrier around Xiao Chen, but as a great magician, this kind of trick could not escape his eyes. He couldn't help but sneer when he saw that Xiao Chen could hardly feel any pressure under the protection of the light curtain, making the road to god refining useless.

He raised his wand, moved his lips slightly, and pointed downwards. A line of light that was almost invisible to the naked eye shone on Xiao Chen.

At the same time, Xiao Chen suddenly felt a dazzling bright light coming from above, and then his mental barrier shook like water. After a moment, it shattered like glass, and illusions from all directions rushed towards him again.

A voice rang in his ear: "Young man, don't use tricks in the test."

Xiao Chen looked upstairs and met the middle-aged man's gaze. The man's face looked indifferent, but Xiao Chen smiled slightly and continued walking forward slowly.

Although the mental barrier was broken, the light curtain just now gave Xiao Chen some inspiration. He knew that so-called pain was a signal transmitted from nerves to the brain. The essence of all mental magic is to input abnormal external signals into the brain. The spiritual barrier blocks the transmission of signals on the road to refining the gods. Based on the posture just now, it's not surprising that he would reach the twentieth floor.

Is there any way to prevent myself from feeling the signals coming from the outside world? A flash of light flashed in Xiao Chen's mind, meditation space! In the meditation space, he can completely isolate himself from information from the outside world unless he wants to.

He stood on the steps and instantly entered meditation.

Compared to more than a month ago, his world has changed more. The island has not only expanded a lot, but also has mountains, water, flowers, trees, and a villa at the foot of the mountain facing the sea. When Xiao Chen opened his eyes, he was standing on the terrace of the villa.

He looked up at the sky. Thunder and lightning were rolling in the dark sky. The weather was much worse than usual. I guess this is the attack of the road to refinement. But these attacks have now become the background, and the impact is only outside the sky, and they cannot cause any direct harm to Xiao Chen.

Since the last time he entered Nina and Serinda's meditation space, Xiao Chen has a certain understanding of the nature of the meditation space.

Meditation space is a collection of controllable and uncontrollable mental power. It's just that when casting or releasing, the controllable mental power will become a transparent substance with various shapes. Sometimes it is a transparent silk thread that makes up the magic pattern, and sometimes it becomes various forms of telekinesis. When it turns into a meditation space, they become a particle structure that can form matter.

In other words, "The Sea of ​​Consciousness" helps people to particle their mental power in their minds, forming a very real world, and then allows mental power to switch between the meditative state and the normal state.

Xiao Chen just used ordinary mental power to resist the intrusion of the road to refinement, and he was already unable to do so. But with the meditation world, such a stable and closed space, will the power to resist intrusion be more effective?

It's like folding paper into a triangular prism, which is much stronger than a quadrangular prism. The same material has different geometric structures and different pressure bearing capacity.

What if the mental power is directly released in the state of meditation space?
