Chapter 1675 - 1671: The New Tower

Chapter 1675: Chapter 1671: The New Tower

All along, he had regarded the Inner Universe as the greatest secret.

Moreover, he was uncertain whether the Inner Universe might be harmful to people.

He felt that the conditions were now ready to absorb people into the Inner Universe.

The current Inner Universe is not only rich in spiritual energy and vitality, but the beings within have shown no abnormal reactions.

The Elephant Beast looked at him puzzled.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Let’s see if humans can cultivate within it."

"Absolutely no problem," the Elephant Beast said, "it’s better than the spiritual energy in the Divine Domain now."

When it came out and entered the Divine Domain, it actually felt a bit uncomfortable.

It’s as if the Divine Domain has become more barren than before, with lighter spiritual energy, lacking its former richness.

Whereas over there, it’s pure and refreshing, every pore open, strengthening the body with each breath.

This sensation is extremely wonderful.

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded.

Then let’s first have Zhou Qingyu go in and try it out; she is now a Spirit Venerable, strong enough, and closely connected to me.

With a thought, she can be pulled out.

The Elephant Beast looked around, puzzled: "Is it my illusion? The spiritual energy in the Divine Domain has worsened."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Without the Stone Towers, the spiritual energy naturally deteriorates."

The spiritual energy of the Stone Tower spreads at an unimaginable speed.

Like adding a drop of ink to a bowl of water, it quickly disperses when stirred.

"Really no Spiritual Artifact left?" the Elephant Beast asked, puzzled.

Chu Zhiyuan was about to nod, but suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Here we go again!"

As seen through the Jade Pendant, the Void once again slowly unveiled a massive tower.

The giant tower pierced the clouds, gradually emerging from outside the Void, shrouded in mist, grand and mysterious.

"Another Stone Tower?" the Elephant Beast asked.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Let’s see how many Stone Towers there are."

He vanished again, appearing beside the giant tower, ready to take it.

But the next moment, his smile froze.

The giant tower unexpectedly bounced him away.

He vanished in mid-air, avoiding appearing in the Imperial Palace’s view amid tribute.

The next moment, he and the Elephant Beast appeared on a peak a mile away, with clear eyes.

Under Divine Eye Illumination, the floating clouds dispersed.

The giant tower revealed intricate patterns, like petals, grass, or strange beasts and unusual birds.

Within the patterns, strands of golden light flowed continuously, spreading circles of spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy quickly blended with the surrounding energy, spreading like sound or ripples in lake water, permeating heaven and earth, endlessly continuous.

With the Divine Eye still illuminating and tracing, it sought the source, formation origin.

His eyes flashed bright, spiritual power poured out like a flood.

In the Void, numerous clones sent spiritual power, gurgling like a clear spring into his mind.

His face quickly turned pale.

Moments later, he abruptly looked up, eyes closed.

When his eyes reopened, he was back to normal, fixing his gaze on the distant giant tower.

The Divine Eye hadn’t traced far, the tremendous spiritual power only traced for a few moments.

He witnessed the giant tower’s formation.

Huge stones stacked like blocks, building a several hundred meters high stone tower.

This high tower rugged and bulky, tilted, seemingly ready to collapse anytime.

A stream of light descended from the outer world, hit the tower’s tip.

A floral pattern appeared at the tower’s tip, then countless flower patterns emerged, spreading downward from the top.

Where the pattern passed, the stones shrank smaller, smaller, shrinking dozens of times.

As they shrunk, the tower’s color deepened, ancient breath permeated, as if thousand-year history passed instantly.

When the pattern completely reached the stone tower’s base, the entire tower transformed.

Transformed into the form he later saw: grand, mysterious, emitting strange aura.

Chu Zhiyuan saw this tower’s formation, formed within moments, then appeared here.

However, the biggest difference with the previous tower is its spirituality.

This stone tower lacked spirituality.

Another difference is the spiritual energy; compared to the previous Twelve Stone Towers, its breath is far less intense, and less effective.

Chu Zhiyuan pondered the differences carefully.

Without the Divine Eye, one wouldn’t notice the tower just formed.

But even without the Divine Eye, through spirituality, one can distinguish this tower’s uniqueness.

That indicates the previous Twelve Stone Towers weren’t hastily made, likely truly functioned for long periods, thus full of spirituality, with mutual understanding and recognition.

Yet this tower, although faintly connected with the Twelve Stone Towers, lacks that closeness.

So, when I approached, it repelled me, resisting proximity.

He flashed near the stone tower again, using it to mask himself from the Dynasty tribute’s sight.

He hovered in mid-air, without Divine Essence, his left palm slowly approaching the stone tower.

"Bang!" He was bounced away again.

He then disappeared, reappearing on another mountain peak, frowning in contemplation.

Even without Divine Essence, the stone tower repelled him.

He appeared near the stone tower again, now with Taixu True Scripture Divine Essence’s left palm approaching the tower.

He was bounced away again.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

This is rather strange.

If this stone tower is related to Taixu Tower, my approach with Taixu True Scripture’s Divine Essence shouldn’t be repelled.

The Elephant Beast stood on his left shoulder, eyes narrowed in golden lines, constantly watching.

Even when Chu Zhiyuan was bounced away, it remained steadily on his left shoulder.

After stopping, Chu Zhiyuan turned to the Elephant Beast.

"This is an Array," the Elephant Beast said.

Chu Zhiyuan’s spirit was lifted.

The Elephant Beast said, "This stone tower contains four advanced arrays, very sophisticated ones... hey, it’s embedded with many divine stones!"

Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes, recalling the previous traced scenario.

Eventually, he shook his head.

The traced scene was blurred, only viewing strange stones falling from the sky, then streams of light pouring down.

As for the divine stones among these stones, they were indistinct.

The Elephant Beast looked at Chu Zhiyuan: "These four arrays interlock, making it impossible to approach; judging by now, a direct approach won’t break its defense."

"So we just watch it obediently?" Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

The Elephant Beast nodded, "You won’t take it."

Chu Zhiyuan pondered, slowly nodding.

This stone tower differs from my Twelve Stone Towers and requires further observation.

If I could refine all Twelve Stone Towers to a deeper level, I might leverage their power to seize this tower forcefully.

My current self can’t achieve this.

He took a deep breath, drew a Flying Knife.

The Flying Knife grew more obscure and ethereal, from solid to ethereal, then blurred, gradually disappearing into the Void, merging with the Void.

Later, the Flying Knife vanished.

"Bang!" The giant tower shook, producing bell-like resonations.

Chu Zhiyuan took a glance, shook his head, utterly giving up.

The Qingtai Xuanzhen Scripture’s power didn’t break the giant tower’s defense.

The Flying Knife was shattered by the giant tower, turned to nothingness, completely gone.

While the tower’s defensive power responded like water ripples.

My power still falls short compared to this giant tower.

To break its defense either through spiritual breakdown or immense power force.

Both require the Twelve Stone Towers’ power, refining them deeper needed.

Or, with outsiders’ help, depleting the outside power of the giant tower, then seizing the opportunity.

Suddenly, he looked at the four Spirit Venerables approaching from afar.
