1076 Tower (1/2)
”Hmm? A fishing village?”
They arrived above a great river.
The sun was setting, and fishing boats were returning home. It was a beautiful view.
”The entrance to the mysterious realm is just below the reeds. We've set up an illusion array, and a city master always stands guard here!” Madam Hua Rui explained softly as she led Fang Yuan into the dense reeds.
Poof!
After they entered the water, the waters automatically parted, and they passed through an array.
”Big Brother!” A cultivator in white carrying a sword welcomed them. ”How are the preparations?”
”Haha… We only brought one helper this time, but he's as good as hundreds or even thousands of others!” Venerable Lie Huo said confidently. ”Brother Situ, please!”
”Let's go together!” Fang Yuan smiled. The cultivator in white was very confused.
Qian Xingzi and the Miscellaneous House Master quickly brought him up to speed, and shock immediately emerged on his face.
”This mysterious realm's focus is testing… It should be a place where some Holy Land that perished selected disciples and deacons…”
Since they had made the oath, Venerable Lie Huo had nothing to worry about and divulged many secrets to Fang Yuan. ”The inside is separated into many levels, and each level is extremely dangerous. But if you can pass through multiple levels, the rewards will be great as well! It looks like you have to pass through a minimum of three levels before you can obtain a Dao Comprehension Stone. It was the reward for passing the third level!”
”I see!” Fang Yuan nodded and smiled, indicating his full understanding.
Wasn't this basically passing through game levels and getting corresponding rewards? What was difficult to understand?
However, since the rewards were given on the spot, he would have to go too.
After all, if he really stood guard at the entrance, the Immortal and Golden Core cultivators would probably use the Dao Comprehension Stones inside the mysterious realm, not giving him a chance to steal them.
”Why are you so certain that this mysterious realm belonged to some Holy Land?” he asked curiously.
”There are Dao Comprehension Stones as rewards. That is definitely the hallmark of a Holy Land, and not an ordinary one either…” Venerable Lie Huo said confidently. ”But for some unknown reason, it was destroyed…”
The Sixteen Countries were remote and far behind the Great Sage Immortal World. Even their inheritances were recent and had gaps in them.
”Here we are!”
While Fang Yuan was contemplating, they arrived at the core of the array, and he immediately saw two giant vortexes.
The two vortexes looked like nebulas, similar to cloud-shaped funnels. One was large, while the other was small.
”The smaller passage is for Golden Core cultivators. As for the larger one, it didn't allow us Nascent Soul cultivators to enter, so it should be for Immortals!” said the cultivator with the sword confidently.
”Hmm…” Fang Yuan did not say anything, but his spiritual will had already entered the mysterious realm through using the fluctuations of the Illusion Realm's nomological laws.
Immediately, he was startled. There's a thin layer of resistance. The constructor of this mysterious realm clearly had some accomplishments in the Illusion Realm's nomological laws… Fortunately, it isn't to the extent where it completely cuts off the fluctuations of the Illusion Realm.
His spiritual will continued to expand, and he immediately saw a tower that formed a realm of its own in the air.
The tower soared into the sky. It had a simple charm to it, and countless talismans and murals decorated its walls.
At the top of the tower, an enormous pearl radiated infinite brilliance.
So there's only one place for the trial. The two different passages actually lead to different starting levels! This tower has thirty-three levels in total! However, Fang Yuan said nothing about what he saw.
His vow was to give thirty percent of the Dao Comprehension Stones that he obtained to the city masters. However, there were no restrictions regarding other treasures, and they would all belong to him alone.
I wonder what the name of the tower is… Judging from its vibe, it's at least at the immortal artifact level. No! It seems to have already surpassed the immortal artifact level! Even I feel slightly threatened… The only good news is that its isolation of space isn't impenetrable, so I'll still be able to escape!
Sensing this, Fang Yuan decided his course of action.
Otherwise, no matter how tempting it was, he would never place himself in danger.
However, as a precaution, he had left his immortal abode and his main body in a safe place before coming here.
The Illusion Realm's nomological laws were something that was completely his own.
As such, this Torch Dragon clone could teleport as well, and using space folding techniques to toy with these Nascent Soul cultivators in the palm of his hand was a trivial matter.
”How is it?” Venerable Lie Huo and others asked slightly nervously.
It was truly painful for them to look at a mountain of treasures but be unable to obtain any of it. The five of them could enter neither the Immortal nor Golden Core entrances. If word got out, then Immortals would certainly divide the treasures among themselves, leaving nothing for them.
As for the Golden Core entrance? After a few experiments, they already knew that it was a place for selecting disciples under the strict standards of ancient Holy Lands! It was a death trap for ordinary Golden Core cultivators, and they could not bear to risk geniuses losing their lives. Or rather, they simply could not make them do so.
Fang Yuan was their greatest hope.
