Chapter 212: Immeasurable Tower, First Floor (2/2)
“Rumble!” A light that expanded for miles appeared on the horizon. Eight beams flew forward, carrying a majestic sensation like eight gigantic mountains.
It was the eight inner-palace experts; all of them were grand achievement God Base cultivators. They were the protectors of the Dragon Carriage. Where they went, all cultivators must prostrate on the ground.
Inside this Eight Steps Dragon Carriage was the imperial daughter — Princess Luofu. Seeing her was the same as seeing the Jin Emperor. Only heaven-defying geniuses from great clans could stand, but they still had to bow down while greeting her.
“Even Princess Luofu is here!”
“Do you see who is next to the Dragon Carriage?” A disciple pointed at the sky while aghast.
“That… That is the number one genius of the Heavenly Cloud Prefecture, Shi Yelai.”
The Heavenly Cloud Prefecture was one of the eight grand prefectures of the Godly Jin Dynasty.
“Of course it is him, no wonder why he is so familiar. Shi Yelai had reached the sixth level of the tower half a year ago. He is the fourth supreme prodigy in the last thirty years to be able to reach the sixth level at the God Base level.
“I heard that in this half a year, his cultivation rose a lot all of a sudden and that he is about to undergo the earth tribulation to reach the Heaven’s Mandate realm.
“This is him wanting to reach the seventh level before the Heaven’s Mandate realm, to become the seventh prodigy at God Base to reach the seventh level since the inception of the pagoda.”
The Wanxiang Pagoda had a history of several thousand years, but during this time, only six prodigies at the God Base realm managed to reach the seventh floor. All of them eventually went on to be great characters of their respective generation.
“If Shi Yelai could reach the seventh floor, then this will shock the entire pagoda.” Being able to reach the sixth level at the God Base realm was already quite amazing, so even Feng Feiyun couldn’t help but want to meet this person.
He lifted his head and looked at the sky.
Shi Yelai was riding a white stallion next to the Dragon Carriage. He looked around twenty years old and had a pair of eyes as bright as the stars. Even when several thousand meters away, one could still see the flashing glimmer in his eyes.
“How certain are you of reaching the seventh level?” Princess Luofu’s voice came from the Dragon Carriage.
Shi Yelai was the Chief Retainer of Princess Luofu so she had a lot of hope for him. After knowing that he wanted to go inside the tower again, she personally came to support him.
Just from this, one could tell how much Princess Luofu valued him.
“Thirty percent!” Shi Yelai answered.
“Thirty percent, good. If you can reach the seventh floor, then I shall grant you one Spirit Treasure.” Princess Luofu responded.
Shi Yelai’s heroic disposition became even more apparent; a profound glint appeared deep in his eyes. A Spirit Treasure might be able to easily win someone else, but it was not enough to satisfy him.
He let out a cry and then jumped down from the sky without looking at any other student in the valley. In his eyes, they were mere ants.
Indeed, there were many scared cultivators who bowed their heads due to his inadvertent pressure. They all quietly retreated in fear while a sense of inferiority instinctively appeared as one stood before a true genius.
However, there were a few notable exceptions, such as Feng Feiyun, Ji Feng, and the Little Demoness.
“Rumble!”
Suddenly, the earth quaked. The gate to the Immeasurable Tower automatically opened. The inside contained a pitch black scene with dark plumes that were completely overwhelming.
Under this presence, everyone held their breaths while carrying a solemn expression. It was as if there was an ancient god staying at the bottom of the tower.
Some dozen heavily wounded cultivators quickly came out. There were some with completely severed arms and destroyed eyes; they were very seriously hurt.
Feng Feiyun felt from them a sense of relief of staying alive after a disaster as well as an unextinguished battle spirit.
Perhaps this tower was not an interesting place. Maybe a bit of carelessness would result in death without anyone being able to gather your corpse. This was a cruel place. If one didn’t know their own strength, then it would be suicidal to enter.
Shi Yelai slightly shook his body and entered the tower. His figure was devoured by the darkness as he disappeared.
It was not the first time for many people to enter the tower. A group scrambled inside, but Feng Feiyun was not in a rush. He stood behind everyone and was the last to enter.
“Bam!” The tower’s gate was closed once more!
Before them was a world of darkness. Everyone else had disappeared as if once inside, everyone had entered a different space.
Suddenly, a voice rang in Feng Feiyun’s head: “Immeasurable Tower, first floor!”
The origin and speaker were unknown. The sound didn’t go through his ears, it directly resounded in his brain.
This was not a voice but rather a divine intent preserved since the ancient times, an intent that would last for an eternity. Anyone who entered the tower would hear this voice inside their head.
