Chapter 460 76: Tower Mountain Night Banquet

Elder Yingya's cloud chariot was extremely fast. After speeding through the heavens for a day and a night, it arrived in the southern region of the Jin Country.

In the distant sky, the faint silhouette of a great tower loomed, vast and hazy, seeming to rise and fall amidst the roiling sea of clouds.

Elder Yingya smiled. "That's where the gates of the Nine Truths Tower are located—Immortal Tower Mountain."

Fang Cheng nodded in praise. "Truly magnificent."

This Immortal Tower Mountain was similar to the Fang Family's Primordial Qi Celestial Island, but it was more than ten times larger—an incredibly spectacular floating mountain.

The two traveled forward for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea when a cluster of auspicious, colorful light suddenly drifted over from the horizon. It landed before their cloud chariot, and a dignified and beautiful female cultivator stepped out from within.

She gave the two on the cloud chariot a deep curtsy and smiled. "I am Han Yunxiang. By order of my master, Celestial Splendor True Monarch, I have come to welcome Master Fang and True Monarch Ying."

She had a curvaceous figure with a slender waist, her brows were lightly drawn, and her hair was styled in a Flying Immortal Bun. She wore a Ripple Lotus Robe, its long sleeves fluttering in the wind, giving her a celestial, fairy-like appearance.

This woman also possessed a Late-Stage Life Soul Cultivation. In any faction within the Jin Country, she would be considered a top-tier figure. Yet now, she had been sent to welcome Fang Cheng and his companion, which was a clear testament to the Nine Truths Tower's attitude.

Fang Cheng returned the courtesy. "We appreciate your trouble."

Elder Yingya said, "This woman is Yang Tianhua's head disciple. She mastered the Nine Truths Tower's 'Void Divine Light' back when she was in the Sensing Realm. You could call her a dazzling talent. Among all cultivators below the Dharma Realm in the Jin Country today, her strength ranks in the top three."

Han Yunxiang, treading on the auspicious light, accompanied the cloud chariot. Hearing this, she smiled. "Senior Ying, you praise me too highly. There is always a higher mountain. This bit of cultivation of mine is not worth mentioning."

Fang Cheng said with a serious expression, "Han Dao You is too modest. With your level of cultivation, an ordinary Dharma Cultivator would be unable to do anything to you."

He was quite familiar with the Divine Techniques of the Nine Truths Tower. Back in the Wilderness Domain, he had even crossed hands with a Supreme Elder from the Nine Truths Sect.

That person had relied on a Divine Technique that severely drained one's essence, supplemented it with a Tier Four Treasure, and had actually managed to raise his cultivation to the Dharma Realm for a short period!

And the foundational heritage of the Nine Truths Sect was a Wood Element Technique, which granted a vast wellspring of essence and long-lasting Magical Power, making them least afraid of such consumption.

The Nine Truths Sect was established in the Wilderness Domain by the Nine Truths Tower, its legacy passed down from one generation to the next. How could Han Yunxiang, standing before him now, not know the same Divine Techniques?

Adding to that the terrifyingly powerful "Void Divine Light," this woman's true combat strength was by no means inferior to Elder Yingya's.

Of course, Elder Yingya's life-saving Divine Technique was also in a class of its own. As long as his Qian Flame Golden Lamp was not extinguished, he could ensure his own life force would never be severed. You couldn't find a second Lifebound Magical Artifact this powerful in the entire Jin Country.

As the three of them spoke and laughed, they arrived before Immortal Tower Mountain.

A tower-shaped Immortal Mountain hung high in the sky. It was majestic and towering, standing proudly in the void. Set against the surrounding ethereal clouds and mist, it appeared even more extraordinary.

Those who could cultivate on Immortal Tower Mountain were all part of the Nine Truths Tower's public lineage, which followed a master-disciple inheritance model. Below the Tower Master were eight great Dharma Guardian Elders and thirty-six Mountain-dwelling Scholars.

There was also a hidden lineage, whose members had various identities and came from different sects and noble families. Although they also practiced the Nine Truths Tower's legacy, they did not walk the world under the identity of a Nine Truths Tower cultivator.

The hidden lineage was the true foundation of the Nine Truths Tower. Apart from the Tower Master and a select few, no one knew just how many members the Nine Truths Tower truly had.

This power was enough for the Nine Truths Tower to stand firm against any major sect in the world.

At this point, Han Yunxiang opened the Mountain Protection Array and led Fang Cheng and Elder Yingya to the front of the Yingxian Hall on the southern side of the Immortal Mountain. She said:

"Honored guests, please stay here for a few days. Once the other guests have arrived, I will come to invite you both again."

As she spoke, two beautiful, fair-skinned women walked out of the Yingxian Hall. They approached and bowed to Han Yunxiang. One of them, a woman in a purple dress, looked at Fang Cheng with curiosity, a strange light rippling in her beautiful eyes. When she saw Fang Cheng look back at her, she quickly lowered her head.

Han Yunxiang said, "These two are my disciples. If you have any requests, please feel free to inform them. I ask for your forgiveness if our hospitality is lacking in any way."

Fang Cheng and Elder Yingya were both easygoing people without any airs. Hearing this, they exchanged a few more pleasantries.

Afterward, Han Yunxiang took her leave.

Fang Cheng looked at the woman in the purple dress and smiled. "Fellow Daoist Chen, it's been a while, hasn't it?"

The woman was tall and slender, her purple dress fluttering. She had a delicate face of extreme beauty, and her expression was cool and elegant. Her aura was like that of a lonely orchid in a secluded valley.

It was none other than Chen Yu Yan, whom he hadn't seen in a long time!

Back then, after this woman broke through to the Life Talisman Realm, she had taken a keepsake left by her mother and traveled to the Nine Truths Tower in the Jin Country to seek her fortune.

It seemed now that she had indeed succeeded!

Compared to the Yinluo Sect of that time, the Nine Truths Tower was without a doubt an Immortal Dao Giant.

For her to be able to cultivate under a great Life Soul Cultivator was also a stroke of considerable luck.

Now, Chen Yu Yan had already reached Mid-stage Life Talisman Cultivation. Apart from her appearance and aura, which had not changed much, she carried herself with a newfound confidence and composure. She was no longer the minor figure struggling arduously on the bottom rungs of the Cultivation Realm.

The Nine Truths Tower must have learned of Fang Cheng's background and history through various channels and deliberately sent this woman to attend to him... after all, the two were once fellow sect members.

Chen Yu Yan's beautiful eyes flickered. She looked closely at Fang Cheng, an irrepressible, myriad of joyful surprises showing in them as she said softly, "Fellow Daoist Fang, it really is you. At first, I couldn't believe it... I never expected you to have achieved so much."

Seeing that the two knew each other, Elder Yingya tactfully had the other female cultivator lead him into the Yingxian Hall to choose a pavilion to stay in.

Fang Cheng smiled at Chen Yu Yan. "It's been a long time. Let's go inside and talk."

Chen Yu Yan nodded and walked side-by-side with him into a magnificent pavilion.

The two hadn't seen each other in a long time. After a few cups of Spirit Tea, old feelings rekindled, and they then went hand in hand into the bedroom.

Fang Cheng casually set up a restriction, sealing the room off from the outside...
