Chapter 383 Entering the Tower
Yuan Ming and others flew forward and soon arrived at the location of the white light column.
The size of the white light column was similar to that of the spiritual light column outside the Immortal Mansion. Through the light column, one could vaguely see a black tower with black air around it, about four stories high.
Wanqi Hong and others had already arrived, but were isolated outside by the white light column. They were all covered in dust and looked as if they had suffered some loss.
Yuan Ming had already seen what happened here not long ago through Xiying and the soul in Yan Sijing's body.
After Lei Ming and others arrived, they immediately tried to break the white light column. However, the white light column was extremely tough. No matter what means they used, after a huge bombardment, the light column remained motionless.
Not only that, every time they attacked the white light column, a white lightning would be shot out from the light column as a counterattack.
The lightning was quite powerful. Although it could not really hurt these Nascent Soul cultivators, it was extremely fast. The Nascent Soul cultivators present could not completely avoid it, so they made themselves a little embarrassed.
"Daoyou Dugu, Fairy Jinxi, you came at the right time. This white light column is quite strange. If we want to break it, I'm afraid we need to work together again." Su Zimo suggested.
Fairy Jinxi was about to speak when the white light column suddenly trembled, then disintegrated like an avalanche, and disappeared completely in front of everyone in a few breaths.
"How could this happen?" The people present were shocked and looked at each other. Only Wanqi Hong looked calm and was not surprised.
Since arriving here, Yuan Ming has been secretly paying attention to Wanqi Hong. Seeing this situation, he quietly used his "emotional" ability on him.
He was not trying to control Wanqi Hong. The power of the soul of a Yuanying cultivator was stable, and emotions were not so easy to control. He was using the "emotional movement" ability at this moment to sense Wanqi Hong's emotions.
The "emotional movement" ability was invisible. As long as it did not directly control other people's emotions, it was almost impossible to detect, so there was no need to worry about being discovered by Wanqi Hong.
Yuan Ming soon gained something. Wanqi Hong's face was calm, and there was a strong sense of unwillingness in the fluctuations of his soul, which seemed to be directed at Dugu Feng.
"Why does Wanqi Hong have this emotion? Could it be that the collapse of this white light column is related to Dugu Feng? Is it because of the black key?" A thought came to his mind.
The white light column dissipated, and the black air surrounding the black tower also dissipated strangely, completely exposing it to everyone's vision.
But the whole body of this tower was made of some kind of black crystal stone, which looked indestructible. The top of the tower was covered with golden glazed tiles, reflecting a dazzling brilliance.
On the first floor of the black tower, facing everyone is an ancient bronze door, which is now closed. On the left side of the door stands a stone statue, which looks like a middle-aged man in black clothes, with his head held high and his chest puffed out, standing with his hands behind his back. His appearance is very similar to the young man in the mural of the entrance hall of the Immortal Mansion.
However, the middle-aged man's face has long lost the immaturity of the young man. He exudes a lonely and arrogant aura from the inside out, and his eyes look down on everyone, as if he doesn't take anyone seriously.
"This person appears so frequently, could he be the owner of this Immortal Mansion?" Yuan Ming guessed secretly.
On the other side of the ancient bronze gate stood a half-man-high stone tablet with a few lines of small characters engraved on it:
“Since I first embarked on the immortal path when I was young, it has been 652 years. I have finally returned to the void after practicing hard. Although I have worked hard since then, I have not made any progress. After careful investigation, I found that the spiritual veins of the Yunhuang Continent are too thin to be mined by the cultivators of the Return to the Void.
In order to improve myself, I read ancient books and occasionally heard that the legend of the immortal mountains overseas is that the spiritual energy is strong and cannot be compared with the mainland, so it should be able to support the cultivation of the Return to the Void, so I crossed the sea , went to the fairy mountain, but was blocked by a giant monster. After fighting for more than a month, he was seriously injured and defeated.
After this disaster, my foundation of Taoism has been scattered, and I don’t have much time left. I am unwilling to let the achievements of this life become empty, so I built this Shura Palace to pass it on to future generations.
The things in the tower are my most important treasures. They are powerful and also have great harm. They are not something that ordinary people can control. Therefore, three tests are set up. Those who pass can get this treasure. I hope you will cherish it.
Master Shura’s last words. "
After reading this, Yuan Ming couldn’t help but feel excited.
This fairy palace was actually built by Master Shura. This person turned out to be a powerful person in the Return to Void period with a transcendent realm. No wonder he could build such a brilliant fairy palace and open up such a vast space.
Others also read the words on the stone tablet, and their expressions were different.
"Master Shura, could it be the legendary cultivator who single-handedly suppressed all the sects in the world three thousand years ago?" Lei Ming’s eyes were full of excitement.
"Subdue all the sects in the world? My Changchun Temple never surrendered to this Master Shura." Wanqi Hong snorted with a gloomy expression.
Only then did Lei Ming Patriarch remember that Wanqi Hong, a monk from Changchun Temple, was standing next to him. He laughed awkwardly and closed his mouth, but a thought flashed in his eyes.
"It is said that Master Shura built a palace before his death. It turned out to be here." Dugu Feng didn't care about that. He looked at the black tower and muttered to himself as if no one was around.
"Fellow Daoist Dugu, do you know what the treasure mentioned on this stone tablet is? The secret treasure mentioned by Yinducheng before was not obtained. The treasure here must not be missed again." Su Zimo walked over and asked.
"How should I know this?" Dugu Feng shook his head.
Su Zimo smiled without comment, but did not ask any more questions.
Yuan Ming had just used "Emotion Movement" to sense Wanqi Hong's emotions, and he felt that this method of use was extremely wonderful, as it could, to a certain extent, detect what the enemy was thinking. At this moment when everyone was emotionally agitated, he exerted his "Emotion Movement" ability to the extreme, sensing the emotions of several Nascent Souls present.
Dugu Feng was mainly excited. When Su Zimo asked him, his emotions fluctuated strongly, and it was obvious that he was not sincere. This person might know the treasure hidden in the black tower.
Su Zimo was relatively stable, and the questions he asked just now were mainly for testing. It seems that this person really knows nothing about the Immortal Mansion and the black tower in front of him.
The situation of Lei Ming Patriarch is basically the same as Su Zimo. Obviously, he also doesn't know much about this place.
Wanqi Hong's emotions have not changed much compared to before, but his unwillingness has become a little stronger.
As for Fairy Jin Xi, her emotions are unusually stable, and her state of mind is like a deep pool without a single wave.
"This woman is not simple. She can be so calm with a treasure in front of her." Yuan Ming said secretly.
"Senior Jin Xi, I don't know what the Yunhuang Continent mentioned on the stone tablet of Master Shura means?" He asked Fairy Jin Xi.
When Yuan Ming asked this question, he actually had some guesses in his heart, but he still wanted to confirm it.
"The Cloud Wasteland is the general name of the world we live in now. The Central Plains, Southern Xinjiang, Mobei, the East China Sea, and the Western Regions are all just parts of the Cloud Wasteland." Fairy Jin Xi treated Yuan Ming with unusual courtesy and answered all his questions.
Yuan Ming thought to himself that it was true and continued to look at the stone tablet.
Although there were not many words on the tablet, the information it revealed was extremely large, including the Cloud Wasteland, the overseas fairy mountains, the returning to the void spiritual energy, etc., which almost refreshed his understanding of this world.
"Senior Jin Xi, are there really fairy mountains overseas?" Yuan Ming asked Fairy Jin Xi again.
"Although I have the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage, I have been practicing hard for many years and have never left the Cloud Wasteland. Since this Master Shura left such a message, there should be." Fairy Jin Xi replied.
Yuan Ming likes to hunt for novelties. He was also like this when he traveled to Southern Xinjiang before. Now he has a strong interest in the world outside the Cloud Wasteland and is about to ask a few more questions.
"If you want to continue chatting, you can do as you please. I won't accompany you." Wanqi Hong snorted, waved his hand and shot out a golden light, hitting the gate of the black tower.
There was no prohibition protection on the entrance of the black tower, and it opened in response. Wanqi Hong strode in like a flying man, followed by Dugu Feng.
Lei Ming Patriarch, Su Zimo, was concerned about the treasure mentioned on the stone tablet, and hurriedly followed with his men.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan seems to be very interested in overseas affairs, but it is more important to break into the tower now. It will not be too late to talk in detail after the matter here is over." Fairy Jin Xi said.
"Yes." Yuan Ming agreed.
Seeing that Fairy Jin Xi was so good to Yuan Ming, Pi Xiu didn't care, but Wen Zaifei's eyes were faintly shadowed.
Not long after, everyone entered the first floor of the black tower one after another, and a trace of surprise flashed across Yuan Ming's face.
From the outside, this black tower looks like an ordinary building, but once you enter the tower, you will see a huge hall that is a hundred feet in size, far exceeding the area of the black tower.
"Is this a space restriction?" Yuan Ming quickly understood.
Master Shura can open up so many different environments in the fairy palace. He must have a very high level of attainment in space restrictions. It is not a piece of cake to increase the internal space of the black tower.
The hall is empty, with only five thick stone pillars standing on the top.
Seeing this scene, the group slowly dispersed and looked for the test mentioned on the stone tablet.
At this moment, the five stone pillars suddenly "cracked" and the bottom of the stone pillars suddenly cracked. One by one, green stone statues walked out in unison, with five statues walking out of each stone pillar.
These stone statues are about ten feet tall, all with human bodies and pig heads, strong muscles in their legs and arms, and holding a thick black mace covered with spikes in their hands. Their movements are uniform when they walk, like a team of well-trained soldiers.
Yan Sijing, Wen Zaifu and other Jindan stage cultivators turned pale. They had fought with the green stone statues in the City Lord's Mansion. They didn't have much advantage with eight to two. They only killed one of them by relying on their numbers.
There were 25 war pig stone statues in front of them. How to fight them?
However, they felt relieved when they thought that the situation was different now. There were Yuanying stage cultivators such as Wanqi Hong and Lei Ming to take the lead.
There were no bloody skeletons here. Wanqi Hong and others would take the lead. It didn't matter how powerful these war pig stone statues were.
After a short confrontation, a fierce battle broke out immediately.
Twenty-five green war pigs ran over at a very fast speed, and the thick maces were swung at everyone.
Five Yuanying stage cultivators stood in the front. Wanqi Hong took a half step and spurted out a golden flying sword from his mouth. It turned into a ten-foot-long giant sword and slashed at a green war pig rushing in the front.
The blue war pig also reacted very quickly, blocking the front with a black mace.
The blue stone statue could block the magic weapon of a Jindan-stage cultivator, but it was not enough to face a Yuanying-stage cultivator. With a light "swish" sound, the thick mace was cut into two pieces, and the cut was unusually smooth. Then the sword light fell, and the war pig was also split in half and fell to the ground.
Dugu Feng, Lei Ming Laozu and others also took up their magic weapons and attacked. In just a dozen breaths, they killed one or two war pig stone statues, and one third of the twenty-five stone statues were destroyed in an instant.
