C104 The Land of Treasures
Outside the tower, in the air, the onlookers were quietly watching the students jump off the tower. And most of these onlookers were from different teams of mentors from different spiritual institutions. At this moment, they looked at the last student jumping off the tower, and their hearts were filled with anticipation.
In the Heavenly Tower Assembly, every year, a portion of the students who performed excellently would be selected to be rewarded. This reward was to build a small Heavenly Tower for the Spiritual Academy where the student was located, so that the people from the Spiritual Academy could cultivate.
The benefits of this could be said to be extremely great. Therefore, at this moment, when many instructors saw the students of their Spiritual Academy ascend the top of the tower, they couldn't help but feel delighted in their hearts, but they also became even more nervous. Because there was still one last step, once the students could enter the Earth Abyss. . . No matter what the final result was, the upper echelons of China would reward them.
"I wonder how many Spiritual Academies will be able to obtain the Small Heavenly Tower this year. " Some people started to discuss amongst themselves.
"Every year, there will be dozens of spirit academies' students who stand out, but all of them come and go from different places, so it's boring. "
"Not exactly. There are also some unassuming dark horses in the Spiritual Academies. If these students from the Spiritual Academies fight for the Small Heavenly Tower for their Spiritual Academies, Tsk tsk. That would be incredible. . . . . . . ”
"Opportunity. . . "
Just as everyone was discussing, dozens of students appeared on the ground at the bottom of the Heavenly Tower one after another. After they appeared, they slowly landed on the ground. All of them looked around with blank expressions on their faces. They were at a loss as to what to do.
"Eh? Quickly look, those are those who are unable to enter the Earth Abyss. If that's the case, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to obtain any rewards. " At this moment, the crowd started discussing again.
"Not necessarily, the final evaluation will have to be based on the performance of the students in the Heavenly Tower"
. . . . . .
The sound of discussion lingered in the crowd. Black Feather and the few mentors of Southern Pearl were looking back and forth. The figures of Mingsi and the other two appeared in their minds, but they did not want to see them.
After the students no longer appeared on the surface, Black Feather finally let out a sigh of relief. Then, the few instructors looked at each other excitedly, their hearts filled with joy.
"The three of them have entered! Amazing!" He Yonghuang was rather gratified.
Feng Zizai laughed and looked at Hei Yu. "As Dean Ye expected, these three people are indeed the hope of my Nan Zhu this year. "
Hei Yu nodded slightly when he heard this. There seemed to be a ripple in his eyes. He didn't say anything. He seemed calm, but his heart was already filled with thousands of waves. After a long time, he slowly sighed. There was a sense of relief in his eyes as he muttered to himself.
"Actually, successfully passing the Heavenly Tower is already very good. Mingsi Armin Temple, you have not let down your father's expectations. "
Of course, no one else noticed what happened to Hei Yu, but everyone present was extremely excited.
Hei Yu organized his thoughts before summoning a jade slip. His finger began to draw across the air. "I have to report this news to the Dean as soon as possible. "
The instructors at the side all nodded. "Yes! Hurry up and inform the dean of this good news. "
There were actually quite a number of people like Nan Zhu and the others. When these instructors saw that their Spiritual Academy's students had successfully entered the Earth Abyss, all of them saw the hope of the Small Heavenly Tower. Of course, there were also some mentors who had disappointment on their faces, because they saw that the students of their Spiritual Academy had all been transported out, and had no fate with the Earth Abyss.
For a moment, the crowd watching from the outer perimeter of the Heavenly Tower were filled with all sorts of emotions, and the scene was rather chaotic.
"It's rumored that there's a divine object within the Earth Abyss. People have been searching for it for hundreds of years, but there has never been any news of it. According to the instructions given by the host, what I need to do is to try my best to sense the aura of that divine object and find some clues. Lines? What kind of clues? There's not a single hair here!"
On the stone wall beside the bottomless abyss, there was a thick tree branch. Mingsi was lying on it, muttering with dissatisfaction. He sometimes looked at the darkness below, and sometimes looked at the faint white color above his head. He felt helpless in his heart.
Mingsi did not know that he was the first one to enter the Fallen Earth Abyss. When that suction force appeared, It had been pulling him all the way here. When he saw the endless darkness below him. . . He reached out and grabbed the tree branch. No matter what, He could not let himself sink down blindly. It was best to find a place to stay and calm down.
Sitting on this tree branch for six hours.
During this time, Mingsi also deeply felt the strangeness of the Earth Abyss. Mingsi tried to control the spiritual Qi, but once the spiritual Qi emerged, it would be sucked away by a strange suction force and disappear after leaving his body. As expected, there was no way to use the spiritual technique in this underground abyss.
Mingsi sensed his surroundings and found that he could not smell any spiritual energy in this space.
"It seems like the interior of the underground abyss is completely isolated from the spiritual Qi. " Thinking of this, Mingsi did not feel depressed. Instead, he felt a little excited, "That means that I don't need to look at my cultivation here, I only need to look at my brain!"
The more Mingsi thought about it, the happier he became. Then, he looked at the top of his head and said, "Forget it. I won't wait for them. This Yuwen Lang's speed is actually so slow. I'll go down and take a look first!"
After making up his mind, Mingsi summoned the flying sword that accompanied him through the Heavenly Tower from his spatial bag. Looking at the ancient and ordinary sword body, Mingsi sighed. He gently let go of the sword and did not pour any spiritual energy into it. With just a thought, the flying sword steadily floated in the air. There was not the slightest fluctuation of spiritual Qi on it.
Seeing this appearance, Mingsi felt that it was amazing. "So it can be controlled even without spiritual energy. How on earth did this flying sword be built?" Mingsi looked at the flying sword and licked his lips. If it wasn't for the management of the Heavenly Tower repeatedly emphasizing that they would return the flying sword after the meeting ended, he would definitely have kept it well. Inside his small storage space. . . He just needed such a magical item.
Shaking his head, Mingsi threw away the unnecessary thoughts. Looking at the darkness below, he calmed himself down for a while before leaping onto the flying machine. Then, he slowly sank down with the help of the flying sword.
The stone wall beside him was constantly moving upwards. Mingsi did not know how long it had been since he sank. When a bored feeling attacked him, Mingsi was about to stop when he suddenly realized that he had lost his direction.
There was no gravity in the underground abyss. After entering, the human body would be in a floating state. The only way to move was to rely on flying machines to fly slowly. However, Mingsi had sunk for an unknown amount of distance. There were only empty abyss walls on both sides. The other directions were all dark, and it was difficult to distinguish between the front and the back.
Under such circumstances, it was difficult for Mingsi to drive his flying sword in a straight line. At this moment, he could only try his best to feel the changes in his position, and carefully continued flying in one direction.
Anxiety, irritation. A strong feeling of irritation gradually surged into his heart, and in front of him and around him, it was still pitch black.
Mingsi frowned and no longer sank. Instead, he closed his eyes and began to feel carefully.
An image appeared in his mind. In the image, there was only one thing that contained a fluctuation of Spiritual Qi, and that was himself. Other than that, his surroundings were pitch black, and even his Spiritual Sense could not help him at all.
"If I don't have any clues, how am I supposed to find them? Could it be that all of us students have been like this for the past three days, wandering around aimlessly like headless flies? " Mingsi thought carefully in his heart. "I wonder how the others are doing. Why haven't I seen one person yet?"
From the moment he broke through the barrier, Mingsi saw another figure. And after entering the Earth Abyss, even if it was a living creature. . . He did not see it. At this time, Mingsi found another thick tree branch. So he helplessly laid down on the tree branch and sat there blankly. He did not have the mood to meditate. Instead, he looked around with a blank expression.
Suddenly, there was a glimmer of light in the darkness below. Although it was obscure, it was extremely conspicuous in the darkness. Of course, it could not escape Mingsi's eyes.
"What is that!?" Mingsi was shocked. Without hesitation, he jumped onto the flying sword and dived down.
As he continued to fall, more than one light spot appeared in front of him. Upon closer inspection, there were dozens of light spots.
Mingsi was even more puzzled in his heart. Very quickly, he arrived at the place where the light had come from. At this moment, he was standing on top of the flying sword. In front of him was a ring of small bells.
"What is this?" Mingsi carefully stared at the bell and found that the metal surface of the bell looked extremely smooth. However, he did not know where this light came from. Mingsi raised his finger and prepared to touch the bell. However, when his fingertip gradually approached. . . He found another resistance. When he was three feet away from the bell. . . Mingsi's finger could not get any closer.
Mingsi was stunned. He withdrew his finger and pointed again, but the result was the same. After repeated attempts, Mingsi turned to another spot of light. There was a small knife there. However, when Mingsi wanted to touch the knife, he found that there was still an inexplicable resistance.
"Si, I don't believe it!" Mingsi's figure turned again and arrived at the third spot of light. After that, the resistance was still the same.
The fourth, fifth. . . After ten rounds, Mingsi continuously tried the glowing spots in this area, but the result was still the same.
An hour later, Mingsi looked at the glowing spot behind him. He sighed in his heart and continued to sink. He was very upset. Looking at these shining artifacts, they were clearly extraordinary. There were some that were still releasing strange fluctuations. It was likely that they had magical effects, but these. . . All of this had nothing to do with him anymore, because. . . He couldn't even touch it.
Mingsi had no idea why these treasures were floating here, but after trying so hard to touch them, he gave up the desire in his heart and didn't force it anymore.
After that, when he was sinking, Mingsi met with scattered light spots. These light spots were all strange treasures. Looking at their appearance, Mingsi gradually reacted. These treasures were all spirit weapons. He also had a Spirit Tool, which was the Spirit Gathering Shield he had exchanged from the Heavenly Tower.
"Why is this Spirit Tool fixed here?!" The more Mingsi looked, the more surprised he became. If these Spirit Tools could be taken away, then he would become extremely rich. However, it seemed like his spatial bag could not contain that much.
Along the way, Mingsi had actually managed to touch a few treasures several times. However, the treasures that he touched did not emit any luster. They just floated in the air. Mingsi held them in his hands and found that they were as ordinary as ordinary metals.
Mingsi crushed a rusty flying knife in his hand and felt slightly annoyed. After that, he threw away the other rusty items.
This situation continued. Mingsi continued to walk down and found that the dots of light were becoming more and more concentrated. From the initial few dots, it became a large group.
"So many treasures, what a pity!" As Mingsi continued to sink, he no longer had the energy to touch these treasures. Only when they were in front of him would he reach out and touch them. The result was no surprise. Mingsi had never found a normal spirit weapon.
"Perhaps these things were originally not supposed to be obtainable. "Mingsi comforted himself. His heart had already turned to dust when he saw the large number of spirit tools.
