C93 Energy Gathering Array
What appeared before him was a towering pagoda. The lines on the pagoda were perfectly round, and it pointed straight at the blue sky like a pen. It was sturdy and gave off a grand aura that could look down on the heavens. The octagonal shaped eaves of the pagoda extended in all directions, bringing with it a simple and unadorned atmosphere. It looked somewhat similar to the Demon Hunt Squad.
The houses in the surroundings appeared to be rather low as they stood in front of the tower as if they were facing an ancient giant, showing their insignificance.
"Second Lord, is this the Tower of Dao Seeking?" Han Bing asked.
"So, this is the Tower of Dao Seeking. How about it? I didn't let you down, did I?"
Han Bing was a bit surprised. How could such a tall tower not be discovered by others when it was placed in the middle of the family? If the Ximen family were to discover this miraculous tower, it would definitely cause a dispute.
As if he had seen Han Bing's doubt, Dongfang Lie explained, "Our external name for this tower is the place where my father cultivated in seclusion. Generally, entering it with talent does not cause any reaction from the Tower of Dao Seeking. Therefore, even if the people from the Ximen family were to come, the juniors are not qualified to enter. Even if their father and grandfather were to enter, they would not cause any commotion in the Tower of Dao Seeking.
Initially, he had some doubts about why the Dongfang family's patriarch did not break through the shackles and overtake the Ximen family to become the number one family in the West East City. Now it seemed that because they had all reached the limit of their cultivation, unless there was some fortuitous encounter, they would not be able to advance another inch.
"You wait here. I'll go up and ask my father. He's meditating at the highest level!" As he spoke, Dongfang Lie leapt into the highest level of the Tower of Dao Seeking.
Inside the Tower of Dao Seeking, an old man with white hair and a beard sat cross-legged with his eyes closed in meditation. The person before him was Dongfang Lie. He stood respectfully in front of the old man and said, "Father, your son is willing to be Han Bing's referee and give him the qualifications to enter the tower and cultivate more."
"Lie'er, is this person reliable? Do you know his identity and origin?" The old man calmly said.
"Father, this person's talent is exceptional and his heart is firm. He is a rare talent. If we can grow them, they will definitely be a great help to our family. "
"Do you know where he came from?" A trace of displeasure appeared on the old man's face.
"I, I know, but I promised him that I would keep it a secret, so father forgives me from reporting it to father." Dongfang Lie said with an appraising expression.
"Humph!" You can even hide the background of that person from your father. If you don't tell me his background, I won't let him in. Do you know what this Tower of Dao means to the clan? I wouldn't agree to let someone of unknown origin in. "
When Dongfang Lie heard this, he half knelt on the ground and said, "Your son is willing to vouch with his life. This person is absolutely reliable. Father, please approve."
"There's nothing to discuss. If you don't want to say it, then go out!" The old man opened his eyes and stared sharply at Dongfang Lie. "This is related to the fate of the clan. How can it be so child's play?"
Dongfang Lie revealed an awkward expression, he didn't know whether to say it or not. This was related to Han Bing's future, he couldn't afford to be careless. However, as if he had made some sort of decision, his eyes revealed a look of determination.
"Father, if I tell you, can you keep this a secret?"
"It seems like his background is not small. I, your father, am not an idiot. I won't go around publicizing his background." The old man's tone finally relaxed a little.
"He comes from a large clan, but he is someone that the clan has abandoned."
Outside of the Tower of Dao Seeking, Han Bing paced back and forth, feeling anxious. Dongfang Lie had been inside for quite a while, but why didn't he respond at all? Did his father not agree?
Just as Han Bing was feeling anxious, a figure descended from the sky and arrived beside Han Bing. That figure appeared to be Dongfang Lie. At this moment, Dongfang Lie's expression was not too good. Han Bing thought that he had failed and did not agree to enter. However, Dongfang Lie said, "Alright, Han Bing, give me your identity jade token. After deducting enough achievement points, you can enter the Tower of Dao Seeking."
"Ah?" Your father, oh no, the patriarch agreed? " Han Bing asked happily.
"With me here, how could I not agree?" Dongfang Lie said.
Han Bing took out his identity jade token, but didn't immediately hand it over to Dongfang Lie. Instead, he said, "Second Master, about that, I haven't collected the achievement points from the West East City's agreement. Can you wait for a while for me to finish receiving them before returning to hand them over to you?"
"Hey! Give me your jade plate, and I'll get it for you. However, the inner clan's contribution points and outer clan's contribution points are not common, so the contribution points you previously used in the outer clan cannot be used anymore. According to my calculations, those beast cores of yours should be able to be exchanged for over three thousand achievement points, which would allow you to stay on the second floor for a long time. " Dongfang Lie said.
"The second level?" Could it be that different levels had different effects? " Han Bing asked.
"It doesn't matter to me or my father who has cultivated to the limit. Anyway, I can't attract any abnormal movements. However, a talented young man like you is different. Different levels of cultivation have to enter into different levels. If you enter too low a level, then it will be useless. If you enter into too high a level, it will also be dangerous. "
"Then, you just said that I can enter the second level. How is the level divided?"
This pagoda has a total of nine floors. The first floor is for cultivators below the fifth level of the Qi Condensation stage, the second floor is for those between the fifth and seventh level of the Qi Condensation stage, the third floor is for those at the eighth and ninth level of the Qi Condensation stage. Furthermore, you will have to pay 100 contribution points each day to enter the second floor, so you can stay for nearly a month. " Dongfang Lie explained.
"How many contribution points does the third level need to pay?"
"The third floor requires 300 contribution points. Do you want to enter the third floor?"
"That's right. Don't forget, even Ximen Yunlong is not my match." Han Bing said confidently.
Dongfang Lie shook his head, expressing his helplessness. Was this the difference between a genius and an ordinary person?
"Have you made up your mind? Entering the third floor can be dangerous. Although I can save you from coming down, the amount of merit points I've used up cannot be returned to you. " Dongfang Lie said.
"Yes." Han Bing said confidently.
Dongfang Lie took over the identity jade tablet from Han Bing and waved his hand, causing a strong gust of wind of spiritual energy to blow. Han Bing only felt that his vision became blurry, then he saw the scenery in front of him change, and in less than a breath of time he had already arrived inside the Tower of Dao Seeking.
The outside of the Tower of Dao Seeking could not be considered large, but the interior was extremely large. It was clear that there was another world inside. Thinking about it, it made sense. The Tower of Dao Seeking could do things that even the Demon Hunt Squad could do. However, it wasn't that exaggerated as to produce the sun, moon, and stars.
In addition, what surprised Han Bing was that the Heaven and Earth energy inside was extremely dense. Compared to the outside world, it was like a world in the sky and a world in the earth.
"Little Han Bing, this tower just happens to be built on top of an energy fountain that erupts with natural energy. Moreover, there is an energy gathering formation within the tower, causing the energy within to not dissipate." Unless a cultivator came in to absorb it, it would not decrease. Moreover, the higher one goes, the richer the natural energies are. It's just like a steamer, and all of the natural energies will gather at the top. " Ling'er suddenly said.
"No wonder. But besides the rich energy of heaven and earth, there doesn't seem to be any difference in the Tower of Dao. How can one break through a bottleneck?" Han Bing asked.
"How would I know? This depends on your finding out." Ling'er said.
Han Bing continued to search the tower, but didn't find anything. Could it be that his poor talent could not cause any changes in the Tower of Dao? Could it be true?
Thinking about this, Han Bing started to panic. This meant that his talent was really ordinary, that he couldn't even compare to the stars, that he could find his own dao through the Tower of Dao Seeking and successfully advance, but he was stuck in this tower for a long time without making any progress.
What to do, what to do, was it really because his talent was too poor, was returning to the dragon clan really just a dream, could it be that Luo Ling could only stay in the Coffin of Eternity forever, could the name 'dragon prince' really be a dead person in the eyes of the people?
"I want to cultivate, I want to cultivate, I want to succeed!" Han Bing shouted crazily, and started to use the Nine Spirits Mysterious Technique to continuously absorb the rich natural energy in the tower, and to take out a large amount of spirit stones to start refining. A massive amount of natural energy and spiritual energy crazily poured into Han Bing's body, accompanied by an excruciating pain as if his body was about to be torn apart.
It was fortunate that Han Bing's body was quite strong. Otherwise, an ordinary person would have exploded from this energy. However, even after such a large amount of energy entered his body, there was still no sign of him breaking through.
"Could it be that I can only stop at the fifth level of the Qi Condensation stage for the rest of my life?" that's no different from a cripple. " Han Bing was unwilling. He didn't expect that even the Tower of Dao Seeking wouldn't be able to help him advance. He really didn't have a better way in the West East City.
Huge amounts of natural energy continued to pour into his body. However, his breath didn't improve at all. Instead, it became more and more restless.
"Little Han Bing, you have truly disappointed me." Ling'er suddenly said.
"What?" Ling'er, even you are disappointed in me? " Han Bing suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, "I know I'm useless, I can't help you anymore, sorry."
"Shut your mouth, Little Han Bing. The reason why I'm disappointed in you is because you haven't understood the true meaning of this Tower of Dao Seeking. Instead, you're so agitated that you can only destroy your own foundation by doing this." Impatient people are hard to achieve. "
When Han Bing heard this, she realized that she really was getting impatient, but after feeling her dream shattered, how many people would be able to keep their cool?
"I thought you would come to realize it yourself. I didn't expect you to still need my guidance." Ling Er sighed. However, her tone turned gentle. "Since you've entered the Spiritual World, I'll teach you what to do next."
