1998 Spirit Fire that Grows 1 (1/2)
Helpless, Nalan Shan had no choice but to let the brown bear follow them into the house.
There wasn't all that much furniture in Nalan Shan's room except for row after row of bookshelves and a study table that was piled up with books.
The brown bear just sat itself down upon the floor, its two furry bear paws dangling over the ground, its pair of black glassy eyes wide opened as it looked at Nalan Shan.
Nalan Shan could not do anything about it but just let it sit there, as he went on to discuss about more serious business with Jun Wu Xie.
”Actually, it's just a guess I'm making. When the Serene Spirit Tower had just been built, I was not yet at odds with Wu Jiu. His suggestion to build the Serene Spirit Tower was news that I only came to know later. I should be one of the first batches of human spirits who went into the Serene Spirit Tower to cultivate. The speed our cultivation progressed in the Serene Spirit Tower was very fast and I was initially drawn in by the shocking speed in advancement. At that time, human spirits still did not know much about the Serene Spirit Tower and most people were still following the ancient way of cultivating in the Tranquil Dream Forest, hence I was able to remain within the Serene Spirit Tower to cultivate for full days in a row. But as time passed, I began to discover that something was not right…..”
Initially, Nalan Shan respected Wu Jiu highly. Wu Jiu was his senior fellow disciple and after their Master went into reclusion, Nalan Shan had then lived following Wu Jiu.
But as the time Nalan Shan stayed in the Serene Spirit Tower grew longer and longer, he suddenly discovered that the Serene Spirit Tower was not as simple as he had imagined. Cultivating in the Serene Spirit Tower, time seemed to pass very quickly. Progressing from the Serene Spirit Tower's first to twelfth level, Nalan Shan had taken less than a month. At that time, his power of the spirit had advanced by leaps and bounds and if not for something that happened after that, he could very well still be hopelessly obsessed in it.
”Which level did you manage to reach in the Serene Spirit Tower?” Nalan Shan asked as he looked at Jun Wu Xie.
”The twelfth level.” Jun Wu Xie replied.
Nalan Shan's face showed a sliver of surprise. ”You managed to climb up to the twelfth level the first time you went there? That….. really surprised me. Since you went up to the twelfth level, then did you see the ball of Spirit Fire on the twelfth level?”
”I did.”
”How big was it?”
