Chapter 1503 Cheng’en Pagoda
Xiao Mian was the last person in the entire Yuanying Palace to enter the hole.
When Xiao Mian came out of the hole that looked like a teleportation array, he looked around and saw a tall tower standing in front of him.
The tower was nine stories high, like a pillar supporting the sky!
Seeing the tower door open, Xiao Mian rushed in without being polite.
With a quick glance, Xiao Mian saw two words engraved on the tower door - Cheng'en!
Cheng'en Tower? What a good name!
Cheng'en means to receive grace!
This nine-story Cheng'en Tower is where the Yuanying Palace's treasure house is!
Du Zun founded Du Zun Mansion and protected this cultivation world for nearly ten thousand years. It is also a merit. It is natural for future generations to be grateful.
With a thought in his mind, Xiao Mian had already entered the Cheng'en Tower.
Inside the Cheng'en Tower, there is a space of its own, a different world.
The nine-story Cheng'en Tower is composed of nine independent different-dimensional spaces superimposed on each other. This work alone is huge.
However, the Cheng'en Tower was in a mess at this time.
The story started with Taixu Zhenren...
As the first person to enter the Cheng'en Tower, Taixu Zhenren had the upper hand.
According to the plan of Sanqing Temple, Taixu Zhenren must be the first cultivator to enter the Cheng'en Tower when using the unicorn powder.
After that, Taixu Zhenren would use the excuse of breaking the formation to search for treasures in the Cheng'en Tower. At the same time, Qingming and others would also guard it strictly.
According to the development of Cheng'en Tower by Sanqing Temple over the generations, the entire Cheng'en Tower is as high as nine floors. With each floor, the quality of the treasures in the tower will be improved.
Historically, the cultivators who entered the Duzun Mansion have reached the seventh floor of the tower at most.
But no one has even entered the eighth floor of the tower...
Besides, there will be a finale treasure in each floor of the tower.
Even if this finale treasure was taken away by the predecessors when the Duzun Mansion was opened last time, new treasures will appear during the hundreds of years when the Duzun Mansion was closed.
The purpose of Taixu Zhenren was to collect the treasures in the first floor of the tower first, and then go back to meet Qingming and others. When everyone entered the first floor of the tower and was dazzled by the dazzling array of treasures, he would wait for an opportunity to enter the second floor of the tower.
In this way, Taixu Zhenren can take all the treasures of each floor...
Get there first and cut off the firewood from under the cauldron!
The plan was perfect, but unfortunately, the reality was cruel!
Taixu Zhenren's advantage did not last long. Soon, the monks of Tianmo Palace and Nanyuezhou entered Cheng'en Tower through the eastern altar.
Moyin and others came prepared; Taixu Zhenren was surprised and suspicious.
At this time, although Taixu Zhenren found the treasure, he had not had time to collect it - what shocked Taixu Zhenren even more was the appearance of Moyin and others!
How did they do it?
Could it be that they also prepared natural treasures such as unicorn horn powder in advance?
No matter how hard Taixu Zhenren thought, he could not think of Xiao Mian's method!
Besides, the first floor of Cheng'en Tower is filled with thunder beads - thunder beads of various shapes and levels are placed in transparent glass boxes.
As long as the cultivator can open the glass box, he can take the thunder beads for himself.
Although there is the convenience of first come first served, it is not easy to open some glass boxes - each glass box is blessed with a seal.
As the grade of the thunder beads in the box increases, the power of the seal becomes stronger and stronger!
The worst of these thunder beads is also the seventh level!
If the seventh-level thunder beads are unexpected, they are enough to severely injure the Yuanying ancestors!
On the first floor of Cheng'en Tower, the seventh-level thunder beads are just the bottom stuff, and there are many eighth-level thunder beads, even the ninth-level thunder beads.
The final treasure that Taixu Zhenren is thinking about is a super-level divine thunder!
Super-level thunder beads - divine thunder beyond the ninth level!
This super-level divine thunder is called - Jiuxiao Yuqing divine thunder!
This cultivation world is limited by the laws of heaven and earth. Not only are the cultivators' cultivation suppressed to the Nascent Soul stage, but also the spiritual materials are limited by this.
As a result, the grades of other artifacts refined from spiritual materials are also restricted.
According to the regular refining process, the highest grade of all artifacts in this cultivation world is the ninth grade - nine is the number!
However, it is not that there are no artifacts beyond the ninth grade!
For example, the fire beast Qingjing evolved from an ordinary fire beast into a super-grade monster beast because of an extremely good opportunity.
However, this kind of opportunity has only been seen once in ten thousand years.
The super-grade artifacts left in the cultivation world are almost all inherited from the spiritual world!
This super-grade Jiuxiao Yuqing Divine Thunder is most likely the spiritual world item that Du Zun had before the forbidden war started!
It should be noted that the ninth-grade thunder bead is enough to kill the Nascent Soul ancestor head-on!
Once the super-grade thunder bead appears, the Nascent Soul ancestor is almost certain to die!
Who wouldn't want such a killer weapon that can kill people and counterattack with special skills?
Because this divine thunder is so powerful, the glass box that seals it is very heavy. Faintly, golden light flashes on the glass box.
Taixu Zhenren spent a lot of time on this heavy golden light...
As soon as he raised his eyes, Mo Yin saw the situation on the first floor of Cheng'en Tower.
The Nanyue monks and Tianmo Palace monks who entered Cheng'en Tower with Mo Yin have scattered and are looking for treasures.
Only Mo Yin, with a smile, walked towards Taixu Zhenren.
At that moment, Taixu Zhenren's pupils shrank and his eyes turned cold.
Hum!
What is coming will always come!
In front of Jiuxiao Yuqing Divine Thunder, Taixu Zhenren and Mo Yin stood opposite each other.
"I never thought that the young master of the Heavenly Demon Palace would be so close to Nanyue Province? Is the Heavenly Demon Palace going to form an alliance with Nanyue Province?"
"What are you talking about, Senior Taixu? It's just a coincidence!" His eyes swept across the vigilant face of Taixu Zhenren, and the Demon Seal stared at the Nine Heavens Jade Purity Divine Thunder, saying something meaningful: "What? Senior Taixu needs help?"
"..., no need!"
Sternly speaking, Taixu Zhenren wanted to drive the Demon Seal away.
However, Taixu Zhenren is now in a dilemma...
Before, because he was sure that there would be no other intruders in the Cheng'en Tower, Taixu Zhenren went all out and just wanted to collect the Nine Heavens Jade Purity Divine Thunder as soon as possible, and did not reserve a backup plan.
Now that more than half of it has been collected, the Demon Seal suddenly came.
If he gave up halfway, not only would the previous efforts be wasted, but the entire glass treasure box would be completely sealed and difficult to open.
This is the rule of the Duzun Mansion. Each treasure box can only be opened once!
Success is fine, but if it fails, the treasure box will be invalid...
Now Taixu Zhenren only hopes that the Demon Seal will not steal his love.
The Demon Seal did not steal his love.
He just watched Taixu Zhenren take the Nine Heavens Jade Purity Divine Thunder, and from time to time, he chatted with Taixu Zhenren.
How could Taixu Zhenren have the heart to chat with him?
With a turn of his eyes, he scanned the Chengen Tower, and Taixu Zhenren saw it clearly.
The Demon Seal clearly wanted to delay him so that those Nanyue cultivators and Tianmo Palace cultivators could calmly collect their own thunder beads.
Even if Taixu Zhenren could successfully seize the Nine Heavens Jade Purity Divine Thunder in the end, if the other thunder beads were obtained by outsiders, Taixu Zhenren would also be at a loss.
Thinking of this, Taixu was furious...
"Senior Taixu! Be careful! After all, this is also a super-class divine thunder. What if you don't know how to handle it and detonate it..."
Halfway through his words, Moyin kept silent, but Taixu's face changed slightly.
Hum!
That's all!
A mere ordinary thunder bead is just an external thing!
Even if I let you have a taste of sweetness, what can it do?
As long as the Nine Heavens Jade Purity Divine Thunder is in my hands, I won't lose!
At this moment, Taixu put aside all distractions and tried his best to collect the Nine Heavens Jade Purity Divine Thunder.
Seeing this, Moyin remained calm.
Just as Taixu thought, what Moyin wanted was for him to be obedient!
The Nine Heavens Jade Purity Divine Thunder was not something Moyin didn't envy, but since Taixu had already got it, if Moyin snatched it halfway, it would only make a deadly enemy.
Unless the Demon Seal is sure to kill Taixu Zhenren in the Duzun Mansion, otherwise, the fewer enemies of Taixu Zhenren's level, the better!
Except for this Nine Heavens Jade Purity Divine Thunder, the Demon Seal doesn't care about other thunder beads.
In this case, it's better to talk to this senior Taixu...
While Taixu Zhenren was doing his best to collect the Nine Heavens Jade Purity Divine Thunder, the Nanyue cultivators and the Tianmo Palace cultivators were also collecting their favorite thunder beads.
Let's talk about the Nanyue cultivators, including Bai Qiye, Bai Jintang, Huangfu Ling, Jingchu, Honglianhua and others, who entered the Cheng'en Tower together.
Everyone acted separately and each had their own gains.
Bai Qiye seized a ninth-level thunder bead, Bai Jintang and Huangfu Ling each seized three eighth-level thunder beads, Honglianhua seized two eighth-level thunder beads and one seventh-level thunder bead, Jingchu was not interested in thunder beads, but also seized two eighth-level thunder beads.
Anyway, they are all convenient, even if they don't use them, they can leave them to the Nanyue cultivators.
As for the seventh-level thunder beads, the crowd really had no interest in them...
This is not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing the goods!
After everyone's search, the thunder beads in the first floor of the tower have been reduced by one third. At this time, the people from Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce and Tianxiang Tower also arrived.
At this time, Taixu Zhenren was not in a hurry...
He was determined to get the Nine Heavens Jade Purity Divine Thunder!
If someone interferes, Taixu Zhenren would not mind fighting to the death!
Once Taixu Zhenren took the risk and brazenly detonated the Nine Heavens Jade Purity Divine Thunder, not to mention him and Moyin, even other people would be in trouble!
Fortunately, the cultivators who entered the Cheng'en Tower all had some vision.
Everyone glanced and understood the atmosphere on the scene...
Besides, Chi Lianyun and Chi Lianxia, the brother and sister, were born with a silver spoon in their mouths. After seeing the thunder beads in the Cheng'en Tower, the brother and sister were dispensable.
Instead, the monks of Tianxiang Tower joined the ranks of collecting thunder beads.
At this moment, Taixu Zhenren's expression changed, and the Nine Heavens Jade Purity Divine Thunder was in his hands!
After taking the Nine Heavens Jade Purity Divine Thunder into his arms, Taixu Zhenren wanted to return the same way to meet Qingming and others.
Some people bypassed the central altar and entered the Cheng'en Tower, which meant that it was meaningless for Qingming and others to stay in the central altar.
It would be better to let them in so that they could help him from the side.
Taixu Zhenren thought so, and Moyin also knew that he thought so.
Seeing Taixu Zhenren's leaving back, Moyin did not stop him.
Just floating, Moyin walked towards the entrance of the second floor of Cheng'en Tower.
"Alas! It's a pity that I came a step late and missed the chance to get the super-level divine thunder! I just don't know if there are any treasures on the second floor that I like..."
As soon as Moyin said this, Taixu Zhenren stopped abruptly!
After a mental struggle, Taixu Zhenren slowly turned around.
"Moyin! Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Taixu! Can't Yin do this?"
"......, OK!" Nodding, Taixu Zhenren went back and came to the entrance of the second floor of Cheng'en Tower with Moyin. Without even looking at Moyin, Taixu Zhenren said to himself: "I hope you and Tianmo Palace will not regret it!"
"Yin never regrets what he does! As for Tianmo Palace..." After a pause, Moyin looked up and said to himself: "Tianmo Palace will be in Yin's pocket sooner or later!"
The two looked at each other, and without saying anything more, they stepped on the stairs together.
Besides, Cheng'en Tower is nine stories high, and different objects are sealed in each level of the tower, but to enter the higher level of the tower, you need to walk up the stairs.
The stairs in Cheng'en Tower are not ordinary paths.
Just like the Dragon God restriction in Shenlong Island, the stairs of Cheng'en Tower are also blessed with a powerful coercive restriction.
Ordinary cultivators don't even have the courage to step on the stairs.
Even Moyin and Taixu Zhenren, when they took a step, their figures shook.
Fortunately, both of them were outstanding people, and they climbed up the stairs step by step.
Finally, the two figures disappeared at the end of the stairs...
At this time, Bai Qiye and others had stopped collecting thunder beads.
It was not that there were no thunder beads on the scene, but they left some goodwill for the later comers.
Of course, this is also a strategy of retreating to advance.
The fact that everyone entered the Cheng'en Tower first could not be concealed.
If the later comers entered the Cheng'en Tower and found that there was nothing, they would definitely blame everyone; leaving some thunder beads for the later comers would also allow them to have no time to care about other things.
At this time, several people from the Buddhist and ghost sects of Xishuzhou also arrived late.
No one is stupid!
At a glance, everyone understood.
There are 9981 thunder beads on the first floor of the Cheng'en Tower.
Before, everyone collected about half of them, and there were still 40 to 50 thunder beads of various colors, which were kept intact in their respective glass boxes.
Tuoba Lan glanced at it and was secretly displeased.
Obviously, although Xiao Mian went to the Western White Tiger Altar and helped them open the passage to the Cheng'en Tower, he was not the first to go to Xishuzhou.
It is understandable that the monks from Nanyuezhou entered the Cheng'en Tower first.
It is Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce. After all, it is an ally of Xiao Mian and Nanyuezhou. Tuoba Lan can understand that they entered the Cheng'en Tower.
But what about the Heavenly Demon Palace?
Have you forgotten: It was the Demon Seal that wanted to kill us all back then?
At that moment, Tuoba Lan felt resentful towards Xiao Mian...
The next moment, without even looking at the various thunder beads around, Tuoba Lan led the Buddhist monks from Xishuzhou and went directly to the stairs leading to the second floor.
Everyone present was a smooth talker.
How could they not see Tuoba Lan's thoughts?
He clearly looked down on the thunder beads that were left by everyone!
It's just that when everyone collected the thunder beads before, they were very measured. Except for Master Bai Qi who forcefully picked a ninth-level thunder bead, the others, due to their limited cultivation, did not intend to take the ninth-level thunder bead. Therefore, there are still two ninth-level thunder beads in the Cheng'en Tower.
As for the eighth-level and seventh-level thunder beads, there are even more...
Unexpectedly, this approach is still not perfect!
Regardless of what everyone thinks, the group of people from Xishuzhou have already climbed the stairs.
As soon as they climbed the stairs, Tuoba Lan's face changed slightly.
Suddenly, a burst of Buddha's light passed by, and Tuoba Lan climbed the stairs without moving his expression.
The spiritual monk Benchu and the blind monk Chanyin followed suit and used the Buddha's light to protect their bodies.
Heisha Ji, who followed closely behind, was quite at a loss - she had no opinion on Xiao Mian's arrangement, and she didn't like Tuoba Lan's approach.
However, Heisha Ji was also a cultivator from Xishuzhou after all.
Besides, although Heisha Ji and Xiao Mian had a long history, they had no friendship with the other people at the scene—especially Chi Lianyun, with whom they had fought in the past!
After thinking it over, to avoid embarrassment, Heisha Ji also climbed the stairs...
Suddenly, the wind was gloomy, and a dark halo appeared around Heisha Ji, protecting her tightly, like a lantern, and slowly advancing.
Besides, the ghost cultivator who followed Heisha Ji, although he also wanted to climb the second floor of Cheng'en Tower, his face changed drastically when he stepped on the stairs.
After enduring again and again, the ghost cultivator could not withstand the great pressure!
As a last resort, the ghost cultivator retreated down the stairs and looked for opportunities on the first floor.
The experience of this ghost cultivator made the others look solemn.
Obviously, not all cultivators who entered the Yuanying Hall could enter the Cheng'en Tower, not to mention that each floor of the Cheng'en Tower was more difficult to climb than the previous one!
After a brief discussion, everyone decided to try to climb the second floor of the Cheng'en Tower.
First, the Nanyue cultivators, a group of five, filed up.
Then came the Heavenly Demon Palace, where four demon cultivators, one of whom could not go on.
Finally, it was the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce and the Tianxiang Tower. Chi Lianyun, Chi Lianxia, and Le Lingrou, naturally passed smoothly, but only one of the other three from the Tianxiang Tower passed.
In other words, there were four cultivators trapped on the first floor of the Cheng'en Tower!
Their journey to the Duzun Mansion ended here...
Let's talk about Tuoba Lan again. The reason why he was so determined was that he was not only angry, but also wanted to gain a certain advantage in the second floor of the Cheng'en Tower.
Unexpectedly, Tuoba Lan finally walked up the stairs and climbed to the second floor of the Cheng'en Tower. Looking around, someone else got there first!
Not one, but two!
That was naturally Taixu Zhenren and Mo Yin, who had reached the second floor earlier!
Let's talk about the second floor of the Cheng'en Tower. There were 8864 array plates!
These arrays are at level seven, level eight is common, and level nine is not rare. The most precious treasure among them is a divine array that exceeds level nine!
It is called - Golden Gang Magic Array!
People don't know what magical effect this Golden Gang Magic Array has, but its level that exceeds level nine is enough to make people love it!
I just don't know who will get this Golden Gang Magic Array...
