Chapter 303: The Nine Layers Babel Tower
That tall tower, suspended in the very center of this small world, is like a mirage in the sky, surrounded by clusters of auspicious clouds, and thousands of auspicious colors loom in the auspicious clouds.
In fact, the tower was tens of thousands of miles away from Ye Zan and the others, and it was impossible to see it with just eyesight. However, anyone present could feel that the tower seemed to be close at hand, and everything could be seen so clearly.
From this, it can also be inferred that at this time, people in the entire small world must have seen the appearance of that high tower in the same way.
Facts have also proved this point.
Through the monitoring of the high-altitude detector, Ye Zan has also seen at this time that after a moment of silence, sword lights converged quickly from all directions in the world towards the direction of the tower.
"Brother Ye?" Lin Mumu withdrew his gaze from the tower, and turned to look at Ye Zan, showing a bit of inquiry.
"Let's go directly to the tower!" Ye Zan immediately changed his goal and decided to go straight to the tower with everyone.
When the tower first appeared, Ye Zan still thought to some extent that the magician might have the key to enter the tower, so he had to fight for it.
However, as the first group of people entered the tower, this guess naturally became self-defeating, which obviously showed that anyone could enter the tower. In this case, of course, there is no need to rush to find those demonic people, anyway, everyone will meet in the tower.
Moreover, through monitoring, Ye Zan has already seen that the first person to enter the tower was actually the Jindan masters of the Arctic Sword Sect and the Star Sect.
It's not that those people have any information, but that their original location is less than a thousand miles away from that high tower. In other words, those people were purely lucky, and even in this situation, they gained a little advantage.
Although it was only a small advantage, Ye Zan was not willing. When he was entangled with the demonic people, those people continued to increase this advantage.
So Ye Zan and the others immediately changed direction and flew towards the tower.
The distance of tens of thousands of miles is quite far for Ye Zan and others. A group of people walked with swords, and after nearly half a day of rushing, they finally came to the front of the high tower.
Although this tower is not really so tall that people can see it from tens of thousands of miles away, it is indeed as tall as a tower reaching the sky. People under this tower are like ants,
It looks very small, like a speck of dust under the tower.
On the bottom floor of the tower, there is a gate on each side, which is as majestic and tall as the gate of heaven. The gate is carved with simple but mysterious patterns. Although the gate is closed tightly, it can be seen that the gap in the door is as wide as a city gate, enough for people to enter the tower through the gap. Already one step ahead of Ye Zan and others, those people from the Arctic Sword Sect and Star Sect who entered the tower might have entered through that door.
When Ye Zan and others arrived, there were already many people around the tower. There are people from the Taoist Palace, there are also people from the Freemasonry, there are people who Ye Zan and others know, and there are people that Ye Zan and others have never seen.
"Ye Daoyou, I don't know if you know the situation of this tower?"
Seeing Ye Zan and others rushing over, the Taoist Palace and the Freemasonry each sent people who had dealt with Ye Zan to inquire about the situation of the tower. The one who came from the Dao Palace was Cheng Liangqi, the protector of the country. On the Freemason side, there are deacons Qiao Ronghua and He Anzhi.
Ye Zan glanced at the nine-storied tower, and asked Cheng Liangqi and Qiao Ronghua, "Didn't you let people go in?"
"Well, my Taoist Palace has sent several people into the tower, but no one has come out so far." Cheng Liangqi said truthfully.
And Qiao Ronghua did not hide anything, and said: "My Freemasonry has also sent a few people in, and I have not received any news so far."
The Taoist Palace and the Freemasonry were still quite cautious, and did not spend all their money to explore the tower as soon as they came up. Or it can also be said that the stable and comfortable environment for thousands of years made them not have a strong sense of adventure.
However, Ye Zan couldn't answer the questions from the two parties. He could only say: "Forgive me, I don't know more about this tower than you. Everything has to be entered into it." , may have an answer."
Cheng Liangqi and Qiao Ronghua were not too satisfied with Ye Zan's answer, but it was impossible to force Ye Zan to say something. Cheng Liangqi pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively: "You Daoist Ye, about the origin of your waiting, I wonder if you can give me a real answer now?"
As for Qiao Ronghua and He Anzhi, although they didn't speak, they could tell from their eyes that, like Cheng Liangqi, they were full of curiosity about the origins of Ye Zan and others.
Ye Zan smiled lightly, and said: "As for the origin of us, even if I tell you now, I'm afraid you may not believe it. Maybe you will know the answer after you have visited this tower."
I asked two questions, and it was the same as not asking! Cheng Liangqi was quite helpless, turned his head to look at the tower, and said, "According to Fellow Daoist Ye, how many of you are going to enter this tower?"
"That's right," Ye Zan nodded.
"Then, well, I won't waste fellow daoist's time." Cheng Liangqi cupped his hands, turned and walked towards the daoist palace.
But Qiao Ronghua did not leave immediately, but glanced at the people beside Ye Zan, and said to Ye Zan: "You Daoist Ye, although the cooperation between us is not long, it is quite harmonious. Exploring this tower once, do these masters also want to go with fellow Taoists?"
Although the cooperation between Ye Zan and the Freemasons did not last long, the Freemasons have benefited a lot from it. The masters on Ye Zan's side not only helped the Freemasonry refine a lot of things, but also helped the Freemasonry cultivate some talents. Although those talents may not become masters immediately, it is only a matter of time before the foundation has been laid.
Therefore, the Freemasons may not care too much about Ye Zan. On the contrary, the masters on Ye Zan's side are definitely treasures in the eyes of the Freemasons.
Now, Ye Zan was going to explore the tower, and without knowing what danger was in it, he actually wanted to take a few masters who were not good at fighting with him. This made the Freemasons feel a little worried.
But how could Ye Zan not take them with him? If he really had to clear the level in the tower and left directly after clearing the level, wouldn't these people be trapped here forever?
"Fellow Daoist, don't worry, we still have some ways to protect ourselves." Zhang Qian, Song Li and others responded with some amusement.
"Then, I wish all fellow Taoists a safe return." Qiao Ronghua cupped his hands helplessly.
What Qiao Ronghua said was good, but if it were Ye Zan and the others, it would be a bit dumbfounding. After all, Ye Zan and the others were thinking about leaving this world, not about "returning safely".
Anyway, after a few conversations, Ye Zan and the others finally came to the bottom of the nine-story tower. Facing the spacious door that could allow people to pass through normally, Ye Zan stood on the threshold and reached out to press the closed door.
That tall gate, even if it is made of wood, probably weighs more than ten thousand catties. However, Ye Zan didn't make much effort, just stretched out his hand to press the door and pushed gently, and the extremely tall door opened slowly.
"Hey, what's going on here?" Lin Mumu was about to walk through the door, but Ye Zan pushed the door open, and he was very surprised.
Not to mention Lin Mumu, even those who watched Ye Zan and the others from a distance, those from the Taoist Palace and the Freemasonry, couldn't help being shocked when they saw this scene.
You know, they also sent people in before, and they didn't ignore the door and drilled through the cracks of the door without any mindset. They actually tried to push the door open, but even with the joint efforts of all of them, and the intervention of Yuanying Patriarch, they couldn't push the door open at all.
And Ye Zan, who pushed open the door, was actually a little surprised standing on the tall threshold. However, his surprise was not because of the opening of the door, but because of the abnormality in his body when he opened the door.
Just when Ye Zan pressed his hand on the door, the one hundred and eight acupoints in his body, Yuandan, suddenly gave out a vibration at the same time. And following the vibration, the mana in Dao Yuan Dan automatically flowed into the meridian, and finally gathered in his hand. Immediately afterwards, he instinctively pushed his hand forward, and as the magic power gushed out from his hand, the door that was almost impossible to open seemed to be slowly pushed open so easily.
Could it be said that Xuanqing Daozu's arrangement here opened the back door for his disciples of Yuqingzong?
Ye Zan couldn't help thinking to himself.
However, things don't seem to be that simple, after all, Ye Zan is the only one in the entire Yuqing Sect who has practiced the Wonderful Sutra of the Hollow Spirit Spring. And here, Ye Zan is the only member of the Yuqing sect, so there is no way to test how other members of the Yuqing sect will behave in front of this sect.
In fact, when Taoist Xuanyuan handed over the wonderful scripture of Dongxu Lingquan to Ye Zan, he probably felt that it was unnecessary, so he didn't tell him one thing. This Wonderful Sutra of the Cave and Spiritual Spring is exactly the exercise practiced by Taoist Xuanqing, and it is also the foundation of Taoist Xuanqing's enlightenment.
In fact, the four Taoist patriarchs of Yuqingzong practiced different techniques. Xuanqing Daozu practiced the Wonderful Sutra of Dongxu Lingquan, while Xuanyuan Laodao himself practiced the true solution of Taichu Yuanshi. Taoist Xuanzhen practiced the scriptures of good fortune, while Taoist Xuanming became enlightened with the scriptures of Wuji Miaodao.
And since this North Pole Immortal Palace is the other palace of Taoist Xuanqing, it is not surprising that Ye Zan, who carries the wonderful scripture of Dongxu Lingquan, is like a direct disciple of Taoist Xuanqing, and it is not surprising that he can get some convenience here.
In fact, Ye Zan's rewards in the previous level were already the result of opening the back door. At that level, Ye Zan got a physical refinement, which directly pushed the Hollow Spiritual Spring Miaojing to the limit that he could achieve in this realm, and the 108 orifice points Yuandanzhen reached the state of Dacheng. If this kind of benefit is replaced by someone else, I am afraid that it will not be available at all.
Although Ye Zan didn't know about this until now, but just from the abnormal movement of the internal exercises when he opened the door, he also had a vague guess about the relationship between this exercise and Taoist Xuanqing.
However, no matter what, we still have to explore the nine-storied pagoda first.
You know, before Ye Zan and the others, the members of the Arctic Sword Sect and the Star Sect had already stepped into the tower first. And after those people, Taoist Palace and Freemasonry also sent some people, maybe they have already discovered something. After Ye Zan and the others, the teams of Demon Dao and Yaozu are also rushing here.
Therefore, for Ye Zan and others, it can be said that there is no delay.
"Let's go, let's go in." Ye Zan didn't explain the opening of the door, but greeted everyone, and jumped into the door from the high threshold.
The Lin family siblings and the others didn't ask any more questions when they saw this, and followed Ye Zan one after another, jumped over the high threshold and entered the nine-storied tower.
From the outside of the gate, looking into the tower, although the space on the first floor of the tower is vast, it is not too big to be inconceivable.
However, when Ye Zan and others jumped into the tower from the gate, the space was expanded countless times, and it was impossible to see the edge at a glance. And when Ye Zan and the others turned around, they couldn't see the door to come in. It's no wonder that no one from the Taoist Palace and the Freemasonry went out to tell the news inside.
And with the entry of Ye Zan and others, in the space on the first floor of the tower, figures also emerged out of thin air. Those figures were not human beings, but all kinds of monsters, almost covering the entire space in a blink of an eye. And as soon as these monsters appeared, they seemed to smell bloody flies, and rushed towards Ye Zan and the others like a tide.
"Hiss, what does this mean? Do you want us to kill all these monsters?" Seeing the monsters rushing in, Lin Mumu said dumbfounded.
Zhang Qian, Song Li, and Zhang Qian of Tianbaozong didn't care about being surprised, and hurriedly sacrificed their magic weapons. And Hou Qingyun and Yuan Fang of the Tianfu Sect also sacrificed the talismans they had prepared long ago. The siblings of the Lin family and Shi Yingjie each wielded their swords, and the discs of their swords swirled and flew, actively killing the monsters that were approaching.
As for the alchemy masters Cheng Sheng and Lu Yuan of the Dan Dingzong, although they were protected by everyone, they were not willing to be protected. The two each took out their magic weapons and sprayed clouds of green smoke at the monster beasts that were coming. Under the shroud of green smoke, the monster beasts rushing over seemed to move much slower.
"Hey, what is this? It looks very interesting." Lin Mumu asked the two members of Dandingzong while beheading the monster with his sword.
"Hehe, I made you laugh. This is just some poisonous smoke that the two of us have refined in these days. The pill that several fellow Taoists took before has the ingredients to prevent this poisonous smoke. , so fellow Taoists don’t have to worry.” Cheng Sheng of Dandingzong said with a smile. (.)
