Chapter 530 Tower of Babel
Hearing Chu Fengping say this, Song Qingming's face immediately showed a bit of curiosity.
Song Qingming knew about the "Babel Tower" when he was in the Qi Refining Stage and mixed in Guiyunfang. At that time, Song Qingming went out to train and joined Feiyunwei, where he met many "well-informed" casual cultivators, and it was there that he first heard about the "Babel Tower".
In the words of Feng Laogui and others, the "Babel Tower" was a special channel to communicate with the upper world. The fairy energy inside could transform mortals into fairies. As long as they could enter the "Babel Tower" to practice, even the most ordinary Qi Refining Stage cultivators could finally ascend to the heavens and become immortals in one fell swoop.
Song Qingming was just an ordinary Qi Refining Stage cultivator at that time. When he saw Feng Laogui and others talking about the legend of the "Babel Tower", he looked full of yearning and became a little curious about it. Later, he went to the Guiyunfang Merit Pavilion to find books about the "Babel Tower".
However, although there are many records about the "Babel Tower", they can basically be said to be varied. Some records say that the "Babel Tower" is a secret place that reaches the sky, some say that the place is a fairy cave, and some say that the place is a forbidden place formed after the ancient demon descended to the world.
Seeing the illusory and unfounded legends recorded in these classics, although Song Qingming occasionally heard rumors about the "Babel Tower" later, he was no longer interested in this place.
Just now, when he heard Chu Fengping mention the "Babel Tower" again, Song Qingming immediately remembered these past events in his mind, and a trace of shock appeared on his face.
"Could it be that the legend of the Tongtian Tower is true?"
Seeing the curiosity on Song Qingming's face, Chu Fengping did not hide it and continued to explain: "Junior Brother Song, this Tongtian Tower is an ancient relic, which should have a history of at least tens of thousands of years. It is said that an ancient powerful cultivator who had reached the state of transformation spent a lot of effort to create it before his ascension."
"Oh! It turns out to be an ancient relic created by a cultivator who had reached the state of transformation. But why are there rumors outside that the Tongtian Tower is a fairy cave that leads directly to the upper world? Has Senior Brother Chu ever been there?" Song Qingming asked again with surprise.
Chu Fengping waved his hand and laughed, "Haha! Junior Brother Song, you are joking. This Tongtian Tower only appears once every three hundred years. The last time it appeared in the world, you and I were not born yet. How could I have been there?
There are actually some records about the Tongtian Tower in the sect's Good Deeds Pavilion, but those who are not the Jindan elders of the sect are not allowed to read these notes that record important information of the sect. Therefore, even among the cultivators of this sect, there are not many people who know the details of the Tongtian Tower.
The legends about the Tongtian Tower that you heard were just misrepresented by the uninformed low-level cultivators below. Over time, they became the legends of the immortal cave that you said can allow mortals to ascend to heaven in one step."
"Yeah! Senior Brother Chu is right. I said how could there be such a place in the world? Otherwise, why would we practice? Wouldn't it be better to just find such a place and ascend directly?" Song Qingming nodded with a smile.
"The Tower of Babel is an ancient relic that exists in the void of the outside world. In addition to appearing approximately once every three hundred years, the location of the Tower of Babel is not fixed each time. It will randomly appear somewhere in the Floating Cloud Mountains, and will only exist for about one or two months, and then disappear into the void without a trace."
"."
After listening to Chu Fengping's detailed explanation for about a meal, Song Qingming gradually understood some of the information about the "Tower of Babel", and was greatly shocked by it.
This "Tower of Babel" is an ancient relic that hides countless rare treasures, and there are even many high-level spiritual objects that are basically extinct in the world of immortal cultivation. It can be said that it is a great opportunity for the cultivators in the entire Floating Cloud Mountains.
Almost every time the "Tower of Babel" appears in the world, it will cause a shock to the entire Floating Cloud Mountains immortal cultivation world, and it is also a battlefield for various forces to compete.
Not only the cultivators of the human race, but also many high-level demon kings and even Yuanying demon emperors of the demon race will also come here upon hearing the news. There are also some powerful demon cultivators who will mix in and take the opportunity to enter the "Babel Tower" to search for the spiritual objects they need.
In addition, although the "Babel Tower" is full of various opportunities, it also has various powerful mechanisms and restrictions. If you don't have the cultivation base above the Jindan stage, it is almost impossible to move in there, and there is no chance to walk out alive.
Even for Jindan cultivators like Song Qingming, every time the "Babel Tower" appears, there will also be many people who leave their lives and property in it forever. Only those powerful Yuanying masters who go in will have a certain degree of confidence to walk out smoothly.
"Last time, I heard from Master Li that the Tower of Babel is about to appear. Just now at the Seven Stars Pavilion, Gu Yuncong wanted to ask me which members of our Xiaoyao Sect will enter the Tower of Babel this time.
However, I only know that Master Li will definitely take Senior Sister Bai in. As for whether there will be other people in the sect going with them, I don't know. Anyway, that place is too dangerous, and Master Li will definitely not agree to let me go in." Chu Fengping finished speaking with a helpless smile on his face.
As the only third-level alchemist in the sect, Chu Fengping is indeed one of the most important elders in Xiaoyao Sect. Once Xiaoyao Sect loses this alchemist, the number of foundation-building pills refined by the sect will surely decrease sharply, which will affect the foundation of Xiaoyao Sect.
Moreover, Chu Fengping's cultivation is only the fourth level of Jindan, and he is not a cultivator who is good at fighting. In the battlefield of Tongtian Tower where Yuanying cultivators compete, it is dangerous and will not be of much use. No matter how Li Mufeng considers it, it is unlikely that he will take him with him.
Seeing the disappointment on Chu Fengping's face, Song Qingming comforted him repeatedly: "This Tongtian Tower is so dangerous. People like us with low cultivation will hardly get any great opportunities if we go there. It's better to stay in the sect."
"Brother Song is right. It's not just us. I'm afraid that other brothers and sisters will not have the opportunity to be taken by Uncle Li. I guess that except for Sister Bai, only Brother Li and Brother Chen will have the opportunity to go. None of us are good at fighting, and it will be too dangerous to go there."
After Chu Fengping sighed slightly, his face slowly recovered, and he gently poured a cup of spiritual tea for Song Qingming who was still thinking about something in his mind.
After chatting with Chu Fengping for a while, Song Qingming saw that it was getting late, so he got up and said goodbye to him and returned to his room.
Seeing that Song Qingyu and others had not returned yet, Song Qingming, who had nothing to do, did not rush to sit down and rest. He waved his hand and took out two spiritual objects from the jade card on his waist, and studied them carefully in his hands.
The two things in Song Qingming's hand are a black iron plate and a small ring with a darker color. These two things were obtained from Hu Daozhen, a Qi Refining cultivator he knew, when he went to Bailong Mountain to buy the Foundation Building Pill decades ago.
At that time, Hu Daozhen and his companions got these two things from an unknown cave, but they didn't know what they were. Later, when they met Song Qingming in Bailong Mountain, they sold these two things directly to him.
After these two things came into Song Qingming's hands, he also spent time studying them, but he still had no clue. Later, they were kept in his storage bag. It was not until he talked with Chu Fengping for a long time about the "Babel Tower" that Song Qingming suddenly remembered these two things that he had forgotten in his storage bag.
The iron plate and ring in Song Qingming's hand were obviously not made of ordinary materials. Even though he had become a Jindan cultivator, Song Qingming had not seen similar materials in other places for so many years.
Looking at the words "Tongtian" engraved on the iron plate in his hand, Song Qingming, who was standing in place, couldn't help but fall into deep thought. For so many years, except for the "Tongtian Tower", Song Qingming had never heard of anything related to these two words.
"This iron plate is obviously not a vulgar thing. Could it be taken out of the Tongtian Tower by someone?"
The next morning, at dawn, the Seven Star Pavilion sent a clerk to inform the Xiaoyao Sect members living in the Guyang Pavilion that the spiritual objects that Song Qingming and his friends needed yesterday were ready for trading at any time.
After hearing Song Changze's report outside the door, Song Qingming, who had studied it all night but still had no clue, sighed, put away the iron plate and ring in his hand, and got up and walked out.
Although he still had nothing to gain for the time being, Song Qingming had a faint feeling in his heart that the iron plate on his body seemed to have some relationship with the "Tongtian Tower" he knew yesterday, but at present he could not determine what the object was used for.
Chu Fengping didn't know much about the "Babel Tower", and Song Qingming couldn't get much useful information from him. He could only wait until he returned to Weiguo and had a chance to go to the Good Merit Pavilion to look for the notes about the "Babel Tower".
This time, everyone went to the "Seven Star Pavilion". In addition to Gu Yuncong yesterday, they were also greeted by an old acquaintance, Liu Zongping.
Seeing Song Qingming and Chu Fengping, Liu Zongping immediately stepped forward to thank them, and specially gave them a second-level spiritual fruit unique to the Star Gate to express his gratitude for the rescue that day.
Song Qingming and Chu Fengping did not refuse this. After the two sides completed the transaction of purchasing spiritual objects, the two stayed to drink tea and discuss with Liu Zongping and the others, bringing them closer to each other.
After staying in the Seven Stars Square for more than ten days, Song Qingming and others had basically purchased all the spiritual objects they should buy. After discussing with Chu Fengping, a group of people boarded the flying boat and set off on the road back to Weiguo.
