"I noticed that you took the Tower of Babel from your waist storage bag just now. It would be better to put such a treasure of heaven and earth into your dantian."

"As for the art of flying, it's just a minor skill. Now that you've reached the Nascent Soul stage, you can learn it by going to a level 3 main city. I'm just doing it for you."

"Thank you for imparting the teachings, senior!"

Wang Ming used the Dantian Storage Technique to store the Tower of Babel into his Dantian. After examining his body internally, he discovered that the Tower of Babel was controlled by the Nascent Soul.

"Um."

"You have already obtained the Tower of Babel. When you reach the 4th and 5th job advancements, you can directly convert it into a job advancement item. There is no need to come here again."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

"Senior, there is still one thing I do not understand. Please enlighten me."

"Tell me."

“Senior, although I have now obtained the Tower of Babel, it is sealed. To break the seal, I need to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.”

"Senior, what is this spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and where can it be found?"

"Spiritual energy is born between heaven and earth as spiritual energy, and is nurtured within all things as spiritual power."

"The Tower of Babel was originally a magical artifact crafted by the ancient Fist Immortal Sect to fight against the demon race. If you want to quickly obtain the spiritual power of heaven and earth, you can kill monsters and demons."

"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the spiritual power of all things—why does it feel so familiar?"

"Oh, right, my cultivation technique is Soul Devouring." Wang Ming then looked at his cultivation technique.

Cultivation Technique: Soul Devouring (Upgradeable)

Grade: Saint-level

Level: Perfect

Proficiency: / (Skill points can be used to directly increase it by one level)

Description: Cultivation techniques allow players to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, thereby enhancing their cultivation level.

Effect 1: When killing a monster of level or higher than the player, there is a certain chance to absorb the target's spiritual power and gain random points in five basic attributes: Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Spirit, and Stamina.

Effect 2: When killing a monster of level or higher than the player, there is a certain chance to absorb the target's spiritual power and gain random attribute points of the five basic elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.

Effect 3: When killing a monster of level or higher than the player, there is a certain chance to absorb the target's spiritual power and gain random special attribute points.

Effect 4: When killing a player who is 5 levels or higher than the player's own level, ignore everything and there is a 100% chance to devour the target's spiritual power and gain random attribute points.

Players who are killed will have their experience points for that level reduced by 30%.

If a player who is killed has less experience points than their current level, their level will be forcibly reduced.

...

"That's right, Soul Devouring also involves killing monsters and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. So that's what spiritual energy means."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I understand now."

"Well, if that's the case, then you may leave."

"Hehe, senior, actually there's something else I'd like to ask for your help with."

"What's up."

"Senior, this junior wishes to use the ancient teleportation array."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing Wang Ming's words, Bao Yuanzi unleashed a terrifying aura, sending Wang Ming flying back several meters.

"System notification: You have been affected by Bao Yuanzi's swordsmanship domain, all your attributes have decreased by 30%."

Wang Ming's attributes plummeted. This 30% reduction in all attributes included Wang Ming's basic attributes, elemental attributes, and special attributes. All of Wang Ming's attributes were directly reduced by 30%.

"How did you learn about the ancient teleportation array, and why did you use it?"

"Senior, I was fortunate enough to obtain the ancient super artifact Chaos Origin Gauntlets. I need to go to the Eastern Hard Continent to collect Crimson Stones and Soul Awakening Stones to repair this item."

"What? You actually obtained this?" Bao Yuanzi looked at Wang Ming's hands in shock.

“As expected, it is this item.” Bao Yuanzi withdrew his aura, his expression softening slightly. “That’s right, I should have thought of it sooner. You subdued the Tower of Babel, and this item is a treasure passed down through the Fist Immortal Sect. I suppose it is also kept inside the Tower of Babel.”

“Senior, that’s true.” Wang Ming was puzzled as he saw Bao Yuanzi withdraw his domain.

"Damn it, that domain directly reduced all my attributes by 30%! A level 100 expert is terrifying!"

"Fortunately, he didn't show any killing intent towards me, otherwise I'm afraid I would have had a tough fight today!"

"The ancient teleportation array is a teleportation channel between the Yuanyu Continent and other continents, and it is related to the safety of the Yuanyu Continent. The reason I am here is to protect this array."

"Therefore, I was a bit too aggressive when you mentioned this formation just now. Please don't blame me, young friend."

"How could that be? Senior, you guard the ancient teleportation array and silently protect the safety of the Yuanyu Continent. I admire you very much. I was impetuous just now and did not explain things clearly, which caused the misunderstanding."

"Hmm." Bao Yuanzi was very satisfied with Wang Ming's attitude, and after giving a soft "hmm," he continued to speak.

“Since you are here to repair the heirloom of your sect, I can make an exception and allow you to use this ancient teleportation array once. However, you will need to find the spirit stones required to activate it yourself.”

"Also, this formation will close again after it is activated. If you want to return to the Yuanyu Continent, you will have to find a way yourself."

"no problem."

"In that case, young friend, please follow me."

Bao Yuanzi led Wang Ming to where Bao Yuanzi cultivated, opened a hidden door, and a basement appeared before the two of them.

The two entered the basement one after the other.

"Young friend, this is an ancient teleportation array that leads to other continents."

You place the spirit stones into the eight key points of the array, and then select the continent you wish to teleport to.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ming walked towards the ancient teleportation array.

"System notification: You are using an ancient teleportation array. Please pay 100,000 high-grade spirit stones."

"Wow, 100,000 spirit stones, and they're high-grade spirit stones."

Wang Ming felt a sudden toothache. 100,000 high-grade spirit stones were almost 500,000 gold coins, but for the Chaos Origin Gauntlets, Wang Ming immediately used 100,000 high-grade spirit stones.

"System notification: The ancient teleportation array has been activated. Please select the continent you wish to teleport to."

"Eastern Hard Continent".

"System notification: The ancient teleportation array has been activated. Destination: Eastern Hard Continent."

The eight key points of the ancient teleportation array emitted dazzling beams of light that converged onto the array.

Wang Ming stepped into the teleportation array, a flash of white light, and Wang Ming disappeared from the spot.
