Chapter 52 Trial Tower (1/2)
Chapter 52 Tower of Trial
【1000 years. 】
The reply given by the system was very clear and concise, without any unnecessary nonsense.
"Well you profiteer!"
"It's really a trap!"
Ye Xuan cursed, but still paid for his 1,000-year lifespan.
After all, his supreme foundation building has increased his life span by three thousand years. After deducting other bits and pieces of consumption, he is still very wealthy now.
Of course, you must first ignore the 100,000-year debt.
For so many years, ordinary mortal women would definitely not be satisfied.
So Ye Xuan planned to go back this time and must find more fairies.
A descendant with a first-grade spiritual root can be rewarded with a life span of 200 years, which is enough to be worth 200 ordinary descendants.
In the past, there was no way, and one needed to accumulate knowledge.
And now that he is a big boss in the foundation building stage, it is very simple to find some fairies to be Taoist companions.
With the payment of 1,000 years of life, Ye Xuan also obtained the location of the core of the secret realm.
"In that case, let's set off."
"I think we might gain a lot by going that way."
Ye Xuan pointed to a direction and said.
"Okay, then just listen to Brother Ye."
Situ Fan had no objection. After all, they were searching blindly, like headless flies. It didn't matter who led the way.
"Okay, let's go."
Xia Yuning also had great trust in Ye Xuan, and she had a vague hunch in her heart that following Ye Xuan might really lead them out of the secret realm.
…
Ye Xuan and his group of nearly thirty people moved quickly towards the west of the secret realm.
Along the way, I met some powerful casual cultivators in the foundation building stage, but we didn’t have much communication.
After all, there are some conflicts between the casual cultivators and the monks of the four major sects. The four major sects are like the aristocratic class, while the casual cultivators are only the lowest class. Naturally, the two of them don't have much to say.
As for the monks from other small sects, you can't actually see many of them. After all, they are weak. This is the depth of the secret realm, and they don't dare to go deep.
In addition, they also met some monks from the Ten Thousand Stars Kingdom. After a brief battle, the monks from the Ten Thousand Stars Kingdom saw three foundation-building masters on their side, and they all fled, leaving only a dozen corpses.
Ye Xuan and others were too lazy to pursue this.
…
Three days later.
Everyone climbed over the mountains and finally discovered something strange.
"Look!"
"what is that!"
Suddenly, someone pointed forward and shouted.
Everyone raised their heads one after another, all showing a look of shock.
Because in front of everyone is an endless wilderness.
Looking along the line of sight, at the end of the sky, there is a huge black tower hundreds of meters high! !
Under the giant tower, there was a vague crowd of people, and it was obvious that a lot of monks had gathered.
"Let's go and have a look."
"It seems to be very lively over there. I said that we didn't meet any monks from Qianyue Kingdom along the way, but they all came here!"
Ye Xuan's eyes instantly brightened when he saw the huge tower.
His soul perception is extremely strong. Although he cannot see clearly from a very far distance, he can clearly feel the powerful aura coming from there.
Obviously, most of the powerful people in the secret area gathered around the black tower.
And the location given by the system is also here!
"Oh, what a loss."
"The system is really messed up. I hope it won't let me down."
Ye Xuan murmured in a low voice, and then led the people to quickly fly towards the black tower.
He originally thought that the core of the secret realm must be the biggest opportunity in the secret realm, and it had to be extremely hidden.
I didn't expect it to be so conspicuous.
If I had known this, even if I didn't rely on the system, as long as I caught other monks and asked them along the way, I should have been able to find out why.
…
And as everyone got closer, the surrounding scenes of the black giant came into view.
I saw that underneath the black tower, there were two forces.
One party is a monk from Qianyue Kingdom.
On one side are the monks from the Ten Thousand Stars Kingdom.
Here in Qianyue Kingdom, the largest number of people are the monks from the four major sects.
The monks from the four major sects, Wanhua Sect, Qianjian Sect, Xuanyang Sect, and Qingyun Sect, stand together and are extremely easy to identify.
Behind the four major sects are some casual cultivators and monks from other major sects.
The same is true on the other side of Ten Thousand Stars Country.
The four major sects of Wanxing Kingdom are Rakshasa Sect, Poison Sect, Puppet Sect and Wanxiang Sect.
In terms of numbers, there is not much difference between the two sides, but in terms of momentum, Qianyue Kingdom's side is far behind.
The five people headed by Qianyue Kingdom have powerful auras.
Three people are on the seventh floor of the foundation building stage, and one puppet is of unknown level, but he looks awesome.
Among them was a burly man, whose cultivation had reached the terrifying eighth level of foundation building! ! !
…
"Swish swish——"
Ye Xuan and others quickly arrived and met with everyone.
Situ Fan took his junior brother into the Thousand Swords Sect's team.
These monks from Wanhua Sect also joined the ranks of Wanhua Sect.
As for Xia Yuning, she took Ye Xuan and flew towards the front of the team.
"Senior sister!"
Xia Yuning looked at the leading female cultivator and shouted happily.
"Yu Ning!"
"You're okay, that's great!"
The leader, a female cultivator from the Wanhua Sect, suddenly showed a bright smile when she saw Xia Yuning.
"Hey, why is Xiao Xuanzi here!"
"No, your cultivation has reached the foundation-building stage!"
The female cultivator was stunned when she saw Ye Xuan, and then her face was full of horror!
"Senior Sister Su, long time no see~" Ye Xuan greeted with a smile.
Su Rong, one of the direct disciples of the great elder of Wanhua Sect, is not inferior to Xia Yuning in talent, and her strength has reached the seventh level of foundation-building, and her combat power is extremely strong.
"Senior Sister, what is going on here?"
Before Su Rong continued to say anything, Xia Yuning hurriedly asked.
She wanted to quickly understand what was going on here, maybe she could help a little.
"You should know that the purpose of these cultivators from Wanxing Country coming in is to get the core of the secret realm." Su Rong did not say much, and quickly explained, "If I guess correctly, the core of the secret realm should be inside this huge, as long as we get the core of the secret realm, we should be able to leave here."
"I see, then why didn't anyone go in?"
Xia Yuning nodded, and then became a little confused.
"It's not as easy as you think..." Su Rong smiled bitterly and then explained: "The number of people who can enter the Black Tower Trial is limited. It is only opened every other day, and only 10 people are allowed to enter."
"10 people?"
"That's too few!"
Ye Xuan was stunned on the spot.
"10 people is the total number. Our Qianyue Country has 4 places and Wanxing Country has 6 places."
Su Rong shook her head gently.
"Only four?"
Xia Yuning was also stunned.
Su Rong didn't say anything this time, but just glanced in the direction of Wanxing Country.
Ye Xuan and Xia Yuning suddenly understood.
The gap in strength!!
Wanxing Country has many more masters than Qianyue Country, especially there is a guy in the eighth level of the foundation building period.
If they were not afraid of both sides being hurt, they would have fought.
Now both sides have taken a step back, and the quota is 40% and 60%, which is the best result.
Ye Xuan and Xia Yuning both understood.
"By the way, Senior Sister, what is the assessment like in the Black Tower?"
"Have you been in?"
Ye Xuan suddenly thought of something and asked curiously.
"It's difficult, very difficult..."
Su Rong shook her head and said weakly: "There are many levels inside. The first level is a battle with various kinds of monsters with strong combat power, and then it is a battle with the phantom of the cultivator of the same realm as yourself, and then the last level..."
"What is the last level!"
Ye Xuan and Xia Yuning both opened their eyes wide, and their breathing was a little stagnant.
"No one knows..." Su Rong shook her head.
"Huh?" Ye Xuan was stunned on the spot.
"But according to our guess, the last level should also be a battle with the phantom of the cultivator of the same realm, but the opponent may be very strong."
Su Rong added.
"It's just the same realm, what can be difficult?"
Ye Xuan pouted.
"That's all???" Su Rong glanced at Ye Xuan strangely, and said meaningfully: "If you can reach the last level, you won't think so. The combat power of that phantom is beyond your imagination. It is at least comparable to the cultivators of the same level who have established a foundation in the underground world."
"Foundation in the underground world!"
Xia Yuning's pupils shrank.
But she suddenly thought of something and set her eyes on Ye Xuan.
She pursed her red lips and said nothing in the end, but a trace of undetectable expectation flashed in her eyes.
"What about the Qi Refining Stage?"
"There can't be any more Qi Refining in the underground world, right?"
Ye Xuan pouted.
"Qi Refining Stage?"
"Do you think the Qi Refining Stage can pass the previous levels?"
Su Rong asked back with a smile.
To enter the Black Tower, you must first pass three small levels, and then you can reach the big level and challenge opponents of the same level as yourself.
And so on.
But no one knows what the last level is like.
"Uh... just pretend I didn't say..."
Ye Xuan heard this and quickly shut up.
But he was ecstatic in his heart.
He was determined to get the core of the secret realm!
If the last level was a one-on-one-one-hundred-person challenge, or a challenge against a Jindan master, he might still be a little weak.
But if the cultivation level was the same, he would definitely be invincible!
…
"Yuning, go and try it tomorrow, maybe there will be hope." Su Rong looked at Xia Yuning and said with a smile, "Because everyone's trial is actually different, and it's a separate trial, so the number of people has no effect at all, and the main thing is the individual combat power."
"Individual combat power?"
"Isn't there a big guy in the eighth level of the foundation building period in Wanxing Country?"
"Even he can't pass it?"
Ye Xuan blinked and asked curiously.
That big guy, you can tell at a glance that he is from the Wanxiang Sect.
The Wanxiang Sect is a physical cultivation sect with strong endurance, and he is also in the eighth level of the foundation building period, which is much stronger than the seventh level of the foundation building period.
"Hehe~" Su Rong smiled and covered her mouth, and asked back: "That guy is indeed strong, but his opponent is also at the eighth level of foundation building, what do you think?"
"Okay..." Ye Xuan smiled awkwardly, and then asked: "Senior sister, I want to try it tomorrow, are there any extra places?"
"You?"
Su Rong opened her mouth, a little confused.
Although he didn't know when Ye Xuan reached the foundation building stage, judging from the aura Ye Xuan exuded, he was only at the first level of foundation building.
Although he could teleport away at any time, there was also a certain risk and he would get hurt.
...
"Senior sister, let me give my junior brother a try, or give him my place."
Before Ye Xuan said anything, Xia Yuning opened her mouth and wanted to give up the opportunity.
Although I don’t know the rules, since the four major sects are together, their Wanhua Sect at least has the right to decide on one quota.
"Yu Ning, do you trust Xiao Xuanzi so much??"
Su Rong was a little surprised.
"Um!"
Xia Yuning nodded seriously.
Ye Xuannai is an authentic foundation builder and is definitely very powerful at the same level.
Tunnel foundation building is of great importance, and she can't talk about it here.
Otherwise, if it is accidentally leaked and the monks of Wanxing Kingdom know about it, Ye Xuan may be in danger.
"That's all."
"Then I'll discuss it with them and I should be able to get two places."
Su Rong smiled helplessly.
"real!"
"Thank you, senior sister!"
Ye Xuan and Xia Yuning were very happy.
Xia Yuning was happy because Ye Xuan could enter with him.
And Ye Xuan was happy because...hell, he could finally go out! ! !
Ye Xuan vowed to pass that level no matter what the cost this time.
Otherwise you'll be stuck here.
If he is trapped here for a year, his wife and concubines will have to be widowed for a year, and he will have to lose at least a thousand years of cultivation and life span.
Plus the 10% interest on the loan...
This is unacceptable to him!
So this time no matter what, no matter what means he uses, no matter what price he pays, he must succeed!
…
Su Rong left for a while and came back soon.
Of course it also brought good news.
"Okay, we have two spots."
Su Rong said with a smile.
"Senior sister is so amazing~"
Ye Xuan chuckled.
"What's so great about it..." Su Rong rolled her eyes and then smiled:
"We have discovered this place for a long time. Most people from the four major sects have entered, but they have all failed."
"Now the quotas every day are actually given to casual cultivators, allowing them to give it a try."
"But since junior brother wants to enter in advance, then naturally this quota will be given to you first~"
Su Rong looked at Ye Xuan with a smile, and the more she looked at him, the more pleasing she became.
She has never seen Ye Xuan again since he came down from the mountain to become a secular person.
Unexpectedly, when I wanted to see him again, Ye Xuan had already achieved foundation building and was even younger.
I don’t know which junior sister will get the advantage in the future...
"That's it~"
Ye Xuan nodded.
We are so lucky to have such a big sister in the team who is both eye-catching and capable!
…
Time soon came to night.
Wanhua Sect also has its own station here.
The stations of Qianyue Kingdom and Wanxing Kingdom looked very close to each other from a distance, but when they looked closer, they found that they were more than two hundred meters apart.
It is true that this black trial tower is too huge.
Even if there are over a thousand monks present, they are still so insignificant in front of this trial tower.
…
late at night.
Ye Xuan quietly sneaked into Xia Yuning's small tent.
Xia Yuning was shocked when she saw someone coming in.
But when he saw it was Ye Xuan, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"What did you do to scare me..."
Xia Yuning patted her chest and puffed her mouth slightly, feeling slightly dissatisfied.
I was already very tired, and I had to be bullied by Ye Xuan, a bad guy, at night...
"Isn't it boring to sleep alone? It's more comfortable to sleep with senior sister in your arms~" Ye Xuan said with a smile.
"Just a hug?"
"Well, just give me a hug~"
"Do not believe……"
"Really~"
"Okay..."
