Chapter 20: Inside the Heaven-Swallowing Tower



Lingluo snorted when she saw the reply on the jade earphone disappear in an instant. She put away the jade earphone and turned to look at the figure busy in the kitchen.

"How long?" she asked.

Yue Liangze, who was burning a fire inside, said, "It's almost done."

Ling Luo walked in. She had a rare day off today, so she slipped down the mountain to the outer gate to have a free meal.

Porridge was cooking on a small stove nearby, and Lingluo was fanning Yingxi gently.

She tilted her head to look at Yue Liangze, with an arrogant smile on her face: "Have you heard about what happened recently?"

"Hmm?" Yue Liangze also tilted his head and looked over.

"It's related to me." Lingluo turned the fan upside down and pointed at herself.

Yue Liangze: “I heard about it.”

Ling Luo: “Isn’t that great!”

Yue Liangze nodded and said, "Great."

In just half a month, Ling Luo's reputation as the best swordsman among her peers with extraordinary talent spread throughout Tianji.

The first four words of "Sword Cultivator" were very much to her liking.

When Lingluo received this name today, her first thought was to come to Yue Liangze to show off.

Look, look!

You can't beat me now, but this title is still mine!

Ling Luo rolled her eyes, trying to get Yue Liangze to admit that she was the best swordsman, and then she asked patiently, "What am I good at?"

Yue Liangze was puzzled by her question, but he still answered honestly: "Practice."

Lingluo asked again: "What kind of practice?"

Yue Liangze said: "Kendo."

Two words have already been said!

Ling Luo fanned herself with Ying Xi and looked at him with a smile: "How good is my swordsmanship?"

Although Yue Liangze didn't know what she wanted to do, he continued to answer: "Very impressive."

Ling Luo thought to herself, can't you use your imagination and give her a little praise? So many people say that I’m the best in kendo, why don’t you just connect the two words and say it directly!

She covered her face with the fan and took a deep breath.

Stay calm, don't panic, don't be impatient, it will work this time!

Ling Luo asked in a gentle and persuasive way, "How powerful is it?"

Yue Liangze was silent for a long time and did not answer.

With a swish, Lingluo put away the Yingxi fan, glared at him and said, "Hey!"

The true nature is revealed.

A smile flashed across Yue Liangze's eyes, and then he slowly said: "You are very good at practicing, and you are the best in kendo."

After hearing this, Lingluo felt extremely comfortable. She couldn't suppress a happy smile on her face. She almost hummed a song and danced to celebrate.

Her jade ear lit up, and Lingluo took a look. It was a message from Xu Shen, asking her if she wanted to join them to train in the Heaven-Swallowing Tower.

Speaking of the Heaven-Swallowing Tower, Ling Luo couldn't help but look at Yue Liangze: "Do you have anything to do this afternoon?"

Yue Liangze shook his head.

"Then you come with me later." Lingluo said, and also sent a message to Xu Shen, telling him to bring Yue Liangze with her.

Xu Shen said it was no problem.

Theoretically speaking, anyone who is a Tianji disciple can enter the Heaven-Swallowing Tower.

However, the Heaven-Swallowing Tower is located in the inner gate, and the outer disciples cannot easily enter without anyone to lead them, which results in only the inner disciples entering the Heaven-Swallowing Tower for the trial.

After filling their stomachs, Lingluo took Yue Liangzejing to the inner gate Swallowing Heaven Tower.

It was a black tower, so high that it was submerged in the clouds and the top could not be seen.

The number of times one can enter the Heaven-Swallowing Tower is limited to three times a year. As everyone knows, the Chaos of Ten Thousand Demons will only be triggered in the last few days of half a year, so there are not many people on weekdays, and most of them are concentrated in the last few days.

At this time, there were only Xu Shen and two others in front of the Heaven-Swallowing Tower.

Song Yuanyuan looked at Yue Liangze at the bottom of the stairs, waved and called out, "Little Daddy!"

Yue Liangze: “…”

He turned around and walked away, but was quickly pulled up by Ling Luo, who glared at Song Yuanyuan: "What are you yelling about!"

"I keep my word!" Song Yuanyuan said proudly, "But since we are of similar age, I have to add a small word."

Chang Fei rolled his eyes and said, "Aren't you afraid that your father will beat you up?"

"My biological father has long passed away, what should I be afraid of!" Song Yuanyuan shook her head and went to Yue Liangze and said, "Now I am the only little father who has sharp body movements and extraordinary martial arts skills on the walls of the Saha World with his bare hands!"

Yue Liangze said indifferently: "I am not."

"Well, don't panic, Dad. I heard that your spiritual power is weak. I will take you to the Heaven-Swallowing Tower to gain some experience and improve your cultivation." Song Yuanyuan waved her hand generously and walked towards the door of the Heaven-Swallowing Tower.

Chang Fei and Xu Shen also followed.

Lingluo took two steps into the tower gate and found that Yue Liangze did not follow her, so she looked back.

Yue Liangze stood at the door, frowning slightly.

"What's wrong?" Lingluo asked.

Yue Liangze shook his head and walked forward, but just as he reached the door, he was bounced back a few steps by invisible water waves.

Ling Luo: “…”

Yue Liangze steadied himself and said calmly, "I can't get in."

Ling Luo: “Why?!”

Yue Liangze: "The spiritual power is too weak."

Are you so weak that even the Heaven-Swallowing Tower refuses you entry?

Such a waste?

Lingluo complained wildly in her heart.

She couldn't bear it, and decided to take Yue Liangze into the Heaven-Swallowing Tower to train and improve his cultivation today. So she went out, took Yue Liangze's hand, secretly transferred spiritual power to him, and led him into the Heaven-Swallowing Tower.

"Little father, Lingluo, why haven't you two come in yet? What are you doing in the back?" Song Yuanyuan didn't see Yue Liangze and Lingluo, so she turned around to look for them, but was shocked to see them coming in hand in hand.

Ling Luo handed Yue Liangze's hand to him and said, "How can a son abandon his father and run away? Don't you know that your father's spiritual power is too weak to enter the Heaven-Swallowing Tower? Hurry up and give your father spiritual power!"

Yue Liangze's calm expression finally showed a crack, he withdrew his hand and said: "I'm not going."

"Dad, don't give up! I am an unfilial son and failed to take good care of you! Don't worry, I am here to protect you!" Song Yuanyuan took his hand and passed spiritual power to him, and walked ahead with Yue Liangze with full confidence.

Several people formed a team and went there to clear the tower together.

The first fifty levels of the Heaven-Swallowing Tower are not difficult to enter. It is nothing more than defeating the low-level demons imprisoned in a specific place. After the 50th floor, the monsters that appear are no longer single ones, but increase in number. Since Lingluo is a team of five, the number will increase by twice their number.

But this didn't stop them.

Lingluo used Yingxi to lead the way and still passed the hundred levels easily.

On the long corridor leading to the next level, Song Yuanyuan held Yue Liangze's hand and asked sideways: "Little father, has your spiritual power increased?"

Yue Liangze shook his head.

"The first 100 levels are too low, and there are so many of us, so it's hard to increase them." Chang Fei said, "I heard that things are completely different after the 100th level."

Ling Luo, who was walking in the front, saw the sealed door, stepped forward and pushed it open. After a white mist, several people appeared on a ten-mile-long street. The stars were twinkling in the night, and the downtown area ahead was bustling with people. The surrounding flower houses and restaurants were all calling out to their customers.

"This, this, this..." Song Yuanyuan widened her eyes.

"Calm down, don't make a fuss." Xu Shen raised his hand and patted his shoulder. "The interior of the Heaven-Swallowing Tower seems real and illusory. Training is not just about fighting monsters. It also records thousands of wonders in the world for us to experience in person."

Chang Fei couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, and winked, "I heard a senior brother say in the Disciple Hall before that after the 500th floor, the plot experience is no longer a bystander's perspective, but allows you to become a character in it, that is a personal experience."

Ling Luo listened and looked sideways, "I've seen this too. So, the role assigned to Senior Brother by the Heaven Devouring Tower is a female courtesan?"

"Yes, yes, that's it, hahahaha!" Chang Fei laughed so hard that tears were about to come out, "This senior brother hasn't entered the Heaven-Swallowing Tower for three years!"

"It's so tragic! How can it be so dark!" Song Yuanyuan sighed.

Lingluo curled the corners of her lips, thinking of her previous experience of climbing a tower. With more than six thousand floors, she had really been through a lot.

"What's going on now?" Song Yuanyuan looked around. "Have you seen this place before?"

"I haven't seen it. It's not from Donghai City." Chang Fei passed by a restaurant and was pulled by the waiter and called, "Sir, would you like to come in and taste our new dishes today?"

"Can we eat the food in here?" Chang Fei walked towards the restaurant.

The waiter nodded and said with a smile: "Of course you can eat it!"

"Hey!" Chang Fei glanced at the price sign at the door and immediately stopped and turned back, "Three silver coins for a bowl of cooked tea, you are robbing me! Scam shop!"

After hearing this, the waiter's smiling face changed instantly. His body suddenly grew in size, and his head turned into a green snake demon, biting towards Chang Fei: "Don't say that I'm a shady shop!"

After a burst of black fog, the few of them returned to the sealing door.

Chang Fei: “…”

He got angry and said, "Damn it, this damn snake monster dared to bite me! Let me fight it to the death!"

Chang Fei angrily pushed open the door and entered the illusion again.

The waiter once again pulled him aside and asked with a smile: "Sir——"

"Die, you black shop!" Chang Fei drew his sword and chopped at him. The waiter's head turned into a snake monster and bit him again. After another burst of black fog, Chang Fei and his companions were sent to the gate of the Dharma again.

Chang Fei: “Ahhhhhhhhh!”

He went crazy.

Xu Shen patted his shoulder and told him to calm down: "You can't kill him. Once Xiao Er reveals his true form, we will be kicked out of the illusion and start over."

"One more time, hold it in! Don't mess with the waiter!" Song Yuanyuan said to Chang Fei, "Three silver coins for a bowl of cooked tea is three silver coins. It's not like you're really paying for it anyway."

Lingluo pushed open the door and came to the fantasy world again.

This time she walked in front, and when she passed by the restaurant, the waiter pulled her aside and said with a smile, "Sir, would you like to come in and taste our new dishes today?"

"Okay." Lingluo smiled and followed him in.

The restaurant was very lively and all the seats seemed fully occupied. The waiter led them to a private room on the second floor and greeted and seated them warmly.

He said, "First, give each of the guests a bowl of cooked tea to warm up their bodies!"

Chang Fei: “…”

One bowl each?

Fifteen silver coins? !

He slammed the table and was about to yell, but Xu Shen and Song Yuanyuan pulled him down and covered his mouth, trying desperately to signal him to hold it in.

Not long after they sat down, the waiter brought up a plate of delicious dishes and said with a smile, "This is our new dish today. Please enjoy your meal. I'm here and will be there whenever you call."

Several people looked at the dishes on the table in silence.

Who would dare to eat the dishes served in a restaurant opened by a snake demon like you?

Seeing that they had not moved their chopsticks for a long time, the waiter asked again, "Why don't you move your chopsticks, sir?"

Lingluo held up her chopsticks and said, "You brought a plate full of snake meat. Who would dare to eat it?"
